Stop right there! (Episode 4)
Not another Bandit...
If you don't hand over the food now you'll end up dead....
...or something like that...
Ai! First encounter speech wasn't convincing at all. 5 points deduction.
Areh? Who's this guy supposed to be?
Hey hey hey heyl...
Fight me if you don't want to die!
Point to each of the opponents!
Yes yes and observe.
Look left, right, up and down.
- Come~ahhh!! - Ah~!! Behind...
You forgot to check behind you. Minus 2 points.
Come fight me ~ ahhh!
- What are you doing? - Well, right now,
...we're doing training for a beginners license. Don't worry about it.
Eh? Bandits need license now?
- Come ~ ah. - Well, let's go louder a bit.
- Come ~ Ahh! - More power, from your gut.
COME!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!
They're scared. Good. Good, You're doing well. Go.
It's all up to that man, isn't it?
Oh, oh oh, You, yes you.
Oh, here I come!!
Wait! I can't fight a bandit with a beginners license.
Stop looking so blur. Look at your right hand.
Move your right hand...
Hold it in a backhand grip...
Good, at 6 o'clock position...
Ah, good good.
Oh, look he just switched his stance smoothly.
Hey, 6 o'clock, that's 4 o'clock.
That's 4 o'clock. 4 o'clock!
Oh, it's getting dark, it's 5 o'clock. 5 o'clock! It's only 5 o'clock.
- Ne~ He is so annoying.
Switch to your left hand, switch...
Turn... Yes, turn.
- Oii, what are you doing? - Wait, excuse me. Sorry.
- You're not turning. - Should I show you?
Then turn, now. What happened?
Hurt, ouch. cramps... It hurts.
- So what are you going to do? - I'M DOING MY BEST!
Your best isn't good enough... Why are you crying?
Look, I made him cry, Sorry. Let's calm down, okay?
- Okay? - I'm trying my best...
I'm really trying...
I don't know what you want me to do...
Everyone is trying hard, right?
Sorry, sorry, Let's try it again. Let's go again...
Right, from here...
I'll explain it slowly.
Bring your left hand to your right hand's position and...
Switch...
Normal...grip, Yes, Normal grip.
Then the next move is, next... hora.
Bring your right hand to the left hand position
And... Not like that, your backhand grip.
Backhand, backhand grip.
Then swing it.
There, yes, like that. Like that.
There's nothing like that in a real battle!
Why are you laughing?
You want to go back to training school?
I wonder where is this training school...?
Yoshihiko, attack him, just do it.
They're only going to sleep anyway.
No I can't. It'll leave a scar in his heart.
You don't need to worry about it so much.
Right, Look, look, look.
Look, look behind you...
Oh, good good. Your visual observation is great. Well guarded.
That's what it means to be on your guard.
You must do that in a real battle. And be aware of your surroundings.
Right? Sorry.
You're being stabbed from behind right now but...
- Things like that doesn't happen in a real battle. - Yes, it does.
Yes, it does. Look, she's doing it.
Go, turn turn. Yes, next.
- Sword, left to right, left to right. - Um... right side...
- I'll... - Well, please follow instructions.
- That's good to ask once in the while. - Well, do it this way..
This is the way I was taught, so I need you to go this way...
Go left and right.
One two. Yes, quick. Do that quickly.
Good... good.
Nope nope. You want to go back too? Ne~
- You want to go back too? - Well... - You look blur.
Right, again...again... Both of you.
Yoshihiko, you're too compliant.
Good good. Now separate.
Oh, I got it. It's getting serious now.
Then.... More eloquent than the lips...
Heh heh, Wrong lines. 3 points deduction.
What the heck are you DOING??!!
The way you are, I can't pass you, you understand?
He's crying again...

"Low Budget Action Adventure Story"
"Yuusha Yoshihiko and Akuryo no Kagi"
- Hello~. - Here he comes.
Hello, I'm Yoshimura Mari.
Who is that?
IT WAS POPULAR A LONG TIME AGO!
Why don't you know? It was popular, you fools.
You're not Yoshimura Mari.
Hello, I'm Kusuta Hotoke.
- So who is that? - Naruhodo the Hotoke. (Kusuta Eriko hosted Naruhodo the world)
Hotoke-sama, are you still unable to tell us the location of 'Akuryo no Kagi'?
Yes, you're right. I still don't know.
Chotto, why are you laughing? We don't need no Kusuta Hotoke.
- You don't sound like her. - Alright. Let me explain.
Ehh~ Ahead, there's a village named Toroda~n....
um...um... is there...um... In the possession of the village chief...
um... something like ...village... oh, not a village, a key...
Um... so it's said. Um...
What is it, is that an impersonation or your original self huh?
Why are you talking like that?
Well, is that the 'Akuryo no Kagi'?
I don't know. However, Um... eh...
It's something evil... um...
...air is...emitted... by the key...
A Key that emits evilness.
There's a very good possibility that it's the 'Akuryo no Kagi'.
Right, let's go to Toroda~n Village~
Chotto. What's up?
(Toroda~n village)
- Are you alright? - Ahh, excuse me, traveler.
What's wrong? You look exhausted.
Our tax burden is a little heavy.
Tax? Pay to who?
- It's the village chief. - Paying tax to the village chief!?
- I've never heard such a thing. - Well, we've never had it before.
The ex-village chief was a very nice person.
Everyone loved him but he died suddenly...
It was the good times...
So the current village chief has started charging tax?
Yes, however in exchange for paying taxes,
...he protects us from the many evil ghosts that shows up around here.
Evil ghosts?
Are you the ones, who wanted to see me?
Yes, I've heard that you possess a key that emits evilness...
Where did you hear that? There is no such thing!
No, you do have it.
I've told you there is no such thing!
He can't look us in the eye and raising his voice... He's obviously guilty.
He is lying!
Please give us the key.
We may be able to bring peace to this world with that key.
That key could be the reason for the ghosts appearing in this village.
- How did you know...? - Please!
Fine, I understand. But under one condition.
What is it?
You're right. We do have ghosts appearing in the village recently.
A grown man believing in ghosts? It's not like it's a monster.
Yes, it's ghosts.
Ghosts...? How funny.
About the ghosts, I know who's responsible for them.
At the North mountain... an Evil soul lives in a house on top of the north mountain.
If we get rid of that ghost, will you give us the key?
Of course. Once it's gone, this village will return back to normal.
Peace for the village, and we get the key, kill two birds with one stone.
Wait a second. I'm a grown man.
I can't quite believe this ghost thing...
Alright then, spend the night in this village.
What time is it now?
I feel the area got quiet all of a sudden.
It's around 2 am. The perfect hour for ghosts.
YaDa~ I'm scared!
Don't be ridiculous. There is no such thing as ghosts.
Of course Monsters exist. But in this world,
...there is no such thing as spirits.
- Hmm... - Maybe it doesn't show up every night?
- Let's call it a night and go back to the inn. - Agreed.
Oii, is there something coming up from that well?
Ah, sometimes well diggers may live in there...
But it doesn't look like a well digger.
Right? It's definitely not a well digger.
Ah ah, O... old man, I thought you didn't believe in ghosts.
Ju... just go ask.
I don't believe in it but... That's a ghost!
He finally admitted it. He admitted it so easily.
Oii, she's coming this way. Definitely coming this way!
Let's get out of here. She's coming closer, LET'S RUN FOR IT!
SAVE ME!
Stop pushing.
Oii, she was fast.
What happened? She disappeared.
She's a ghost! That's why she can disappear easily.
You just said there is no such thing as ghosts.
What a true Yuusha. He's still maintaining his ground against the ghost...!
- He's fainted. - He is that type of man.
Yoshihiko, you fainted last night when you saw the ghost by the well.
How can you fight against the boss of ghosts?
I wasn't prepared last night.
As long as I'm prepared, I can defeat the ghost!
- Is monsters here too...? - I think they're ghosts too.
But for some reason it looks cute.
Hot!
They got mad at you when you said they're cute.
It's a small inn but it must've went out of business.
This is the memoirs of past travelers.
"There is a ghost here."
"Please be careful."
"I didn't believe it at first but it's really here"
"I'm leaving as soon as the sun comes up"
With the ghosts running around...
...It's no wonder they couldn't keep the inn running.
So this area is also the domain of the Boss ghost too, huh?
- What's wrong!? - I just...just saw... behind Yoshihiko
- White child... - A white child?
No, it can't be.
Some pale skinned child is playing around here, that's all.
Why? This deep in the mountains? And in the middle of the night?
Why would pale skinned boy come all the way here to play?!
It's just your imagination. Your mind is playing tricks on you.
Three of us just saw it. How can that be our imagination?
Everyone, please get a grip.
As Danjo-san said, there's no such thing as ghosts!
There's no such thing as ghosts!
Stop screaming Murasaki!
He's behind me, isn't he?
Yes... He's been there allll the while.
I'll turn around.
Okay?
- I'll turn around. - Go ahead.
Quick, Do it quick.
Did you see it?
Nope.
Yes you did. You just saw it, right?
- No I didn't. - You liar.
- You just saw it. - No, I didn't!
You're almost crying.
Ehh?
Let's all stay awake for tonight, okay?
You're right. I don't want to be the only one to see the ghost.
But the fire is going out.
The ghost will come... even without the fire.
Don't say it with such a frightening tone and a serious look....
The ones that come out when there's no fire are monsters and animals, right?
Ghosts too! Ghosts included!
What are we going to do if the fire goes out? Ghosts will come again!
But it looks like the firewood are outside.
Ohhh, someone go get more firewood. Oi, the most mature one of all, Danjo. Go get some.
I...don't want to.
Why? Because I'm scared.
- Can't be helped. - Oh, Thank you very much!
- Let's do Rock paper scissors. - You've got to be kidding, oy!
Three grown men and no one can go get firewood?
- What's wrong with you! - Rock paper scissors Murasaki.
- Rock paper scissors! - This is so mean ~ It's too mean~
Rock paper scissors, shoot.
Rock paper scissors, Shoot!
- YAAHH I won I won. Scissors unbeatable! - Noooo ~ It can't be!
No! I DEFINITELY won't go!
You have to. YOU LOST.
Ne~ ne~ Yoshihiko, Yuusha won't let me go by myself at this late at night, right?
- Yuusha won't do such a thing, right? - Hurry up and GO Murasaki!!
THE FIRE IS GOING OUT!!
You're the worst~
I'll never believe in you anymore.
Really... the worst...
No such thing, it doesn't exist... There is no such thing.
Ahhh, it's here.
Singing helps when you're scared.
"There is no such thing as ghosts It's all lies"
"There is no such thing as ghosts"...
Somehow I feel...
But... it can't be, right?
- Murasaki! - It's here, what are you going to do, Yoshihiko?
Let's wait and see.
Murasaki, are you okay?
Smooth! Big eyes! and Ba~
- Calm down, Murasaki. "Smooth, Big Eyes and Aah~"? What is that?
Smooth! Big eyes! and Aah~!
"Smooth! Big eyes! and Aah~"! There is no such thing!
- It must be the ghost. - White child...
And this "Smooth! Big eyes! and Aah~!!" This area must be infested by ghosts.
I'm not afraid. I'll defeat this boss ghost.
- I can believe you, right? - Of course.
When we heard Murasaki's scream...
...you said 'Let's wait and see'...
I had my doubts when you made that comment... I can really believe you, right?
- Of course. - Yoshihiko...
You were waiting for me?
Yoshihiko.
So in the end everyone's gone to sleep...
Merebu, can you accompany me to the loo?
I'd love to... but I can't.
Why? I can't be going alone.
I'm frozen right now. It's because...
...the white child is staring at me.
I will quietly go and... pee outside.
I wonder if that's the ghost boss' house...
Well, he did say it's at the top of the mountain.
I can certainly feel the evilness surrounding it...
It's the boss of all the ghosts.
- We can't underestimate it. - I know.
But it's still a ghost, I'm sure it won't show itself in the daytime.
Yes, you're right.
Well, right before this boss fight, at this PERFECT timing...
I've learned another spell.
It will be great if this spell gets rid of ghosts.
Don't hold your breath, old man.
Ott. I think you can anticipate this one.
- It can be used to get rid of ghosts? - I think so.
Murasaki, don't get too excited. At this early stage of the quest,
I've already gained an ice type spell.
- Ice type? - Ahh.
- Let's try it on Murasaki. - Not me again.
How is it?
I got an ice cube in my mouth.
G...great! It's unbelievable!
This spell will make an ice cube appear inside the enemy's mouth.
Just one?
YoruMep. I call this spell...
Hyada-kori. That's the name-kori.
- Hyada-kori! Now we're invincible. - No, we are not-kori.
Merebu. I'm feeling hot. Give me an ice cube.
Thanks for your business-kori.
- Great! - Enemies will be happy to get one too. I'm sure
Foolish Murasaki. Murasaki the fool.
- Gained weight but still Miss tiny-tits. - I will seriously kill you.
It's against ghosts. Ghosts will only come out in the summer.
If we attack them with this spell and keep giving them ice...
- They'll get so cold... - They'll run away.
- Bingo! - Great.
Merebu-san, please cast the spell on me too.
You got it-kori.
- More please. - Mep!
Oh~ Brain freeze-kori~ Yoshihiko.
That's too much-kori.
Ah~ YaDa~ I'm scared.
Rest assured, Yoshihiko will defeat the boss.
Well, I wonder where is he going to show himself.
The Strongest of the ghosts.
Calm down. Calm down and wait for him.
It's coming! It's the sound of the ghost coming out!
Oh where? Where is he coming from?
Come. I'm Yuusha.
Areh? Guests?
Ara? This is a very orthodox looking one.
Are you the boss ghost?!
Boss? Ah! That's not true.
I am a ghost but...
A boss? Well... That info is bogus.
- Then you are... - It's our rule so...
I wonder if I'm allowed to say it?
U~Ra~Me~Shi~Ya~ (You shall feel my wrath)
- It's too Orthodox... No way. - I'm saying this but...
I have no grudge against anyone. Don't worry.
- It's our rule so... - It's kind of nice, not scary at all.
C'mon young lady, I'm still a ghost,
...please feel scared, even just a little.
Oh, that's good, you started to look like one.
Oooo.... Right!? Right!?...!?
- Urameshi... - Ah... Enough, that's enough, sorry.
You don't need to do it twice, That's enough.
So what do you mean by our info was bogus?
- Oh, you want to hear it? Really? - Yes
About Toroda~n's village chief, I was killed by him.
Eh? But he looked like a nice guy.
Well, he used to be my subordinate...
But since I became the village chief, he wanted an easy life...
- So he.....while I was sleeping... - What!?
What a coward.. attacking a man in his sleep.
You do look like that kind of character.
I do, right!? I am that kind of character.
So many people have tried to deceive me...
I'm easily deceived...
It was said that the tax became heavy when the new village chief came to power.
It seems he was trying to get rich for himself.
Yes. So I showed myself to him.
But he took that as his advantage...
...and told everyone he'll protect them from the ghosts and...
- You've been taken advantage 'til no end. - Yeah exactly.
Oh, The ghosts that shows up around here are all fake.
Ah, And they're all living persons too.
I knew it.
You were so scared of them before.
I told you so. There is no such thing as ghosts.
- It does exist. Here is the proof. - Me? hehehehe.
Stop laughing, hurry up and pass on to the other side.
Oh, I want to but I still can't forgive that guy...
Let's teach him a lesson. So you can pass on to the other side.
Eh?
Job well done. Yuusha and companions.
I heard... you got rid of the boss of ghosts.
- Yes. - This is what you wanted. The key.
This is...It's written MIWA* on it. (well known lock company)
Eh? You can seal the monsters? With this?
Before I take this, I have something to show you.
Huh?
- What? is...this!? - Aren't these your ghosts?
- It was so scary. Don't ever do it again. - I know nothing, I don't know them.
- And I'm behind you. - Ah... village chief.
Village chief! Look at your true self.
- This is... - Evil! Begone!
- How could it be...? - The Key was possessed by the evil.
With this, village chief you should turn back to normal too.
- You can pass on to the other side now? - Yes, I can leave this world now.
Thank you all.
It wasn't the right key again but...
- You did a good deed, Yoshihiko. - Yes.
Um... I wonder, somewhere in this world...
- ...if it really exists... Akuryo no kagi. - Hotoke is of no help too...
We must find it quick....
... the evil has already started to affect everyone's heart.
- We must find it quick. - We'll keep fighting.
Yes.
Brother, please let Hisa join you on this fight!
I've become an expert archer.
I can hit the target no matter how far away.
