Before me, the man who lives hidden amongst the beastmen,
the World Destruction Committee suddenly appears!
Don't move!
Everyone where you are!
Geez... I really wish you'd stop all this!
I spent all my money on this lunch!
Even though I say "Committee," the only real member is this woman, Morte Ashera.
If you move even a little, this beast-man's life is over!
Fire!
According to Morte, she intends to use the Destruct Code,
the object said to hold the power of world destruction,
to destroy the world....
But if this is used, will the world really fall into ruin?
That's only if you find the correct way to use it.
The beast-man organization that is chasing Morte, the World Salvation Committee...
I got caught in the middle of their fight and I'm now being chased by the Salvation Commitee as well.
I'm just a boy with a part-time job, why me...
The Heroes' Guild member, Toppi, joined us,
and in the end we washed up here on Borak.
Oh yeah! Why don't you stop destroying the world, and go on a journey to help people?
I mean, at the end, we ended up helping people out anyway...
In a world like this, destroying everything would mean saving everyone.
Starting now, we should be embarking on our journey to destroy the world...
There are two types of beast-men.
Beast-men who reign over humans, and...
Stay quiet, human scum.
Well, I do feel a little bad for you, fellow beast-man.
What do you intend to do with us, kuma?
The Salvation Committee seems to have put in a lot of effort into catching you guys...
I think I can convince them to compensate us well.
I don't know about the Destruction Committee, but to us, you are gods of salvation.
Just like that?! Wait a minute--
I'll say this, don't even think of resisting.
I wasn't told to hand you over intact.
The exchange is in two days.
What should we do?
That's already been decided!
We'll escape from here before the Salvation Committee arrives!
That wasn't me!
It was me, kuma.
The Wolfman's prison?
It's on the coast, in the land of Borak.
We received a message that states,
"We have captured the three members of the World Destruction Committee."
Those people must be very lucky...
...to have washed up there, of all places.
And then? What did the guys from the prison say?
They demanded a ransom.
Such a crude group!
There is no need to give in to people like them!
We should just take them by force!
That's a bad habit of yours, Ri A.
Power is a method that you have to save for the right moment.
If this could be solved with money, it would be much more convenient for us, right?
You've gotta be shittin' me!
Why do we have to put up with shit like this?!
What's with this place?!
Everywhere I look, there are criminals!
Oi, she's with the Destruction Committee...
Don't look her in the eye!
You never know what she might do!
Scary...!
High walls in every direction...
Even if you manage to crest those, there are guards with guns waiting at the top...
That aside, escaping from the mines themselves would be a difficult enough task...
What the hell are you doing?!
Not only are you weak,
but you're also making my job even harder?!
I'm...sorry...
Hey, humans!
Don't just laze around! Hurry up and wash those dishes!
There we go...
Ah, it's about time you stopped the heat...
Y-yeah...
Ah, that pot's boiling over!
Y-yeah...
By the way, have I seen you before...?
It's alright to take these plates over here, right?
He's from the Destruction Committee... right?
Why is there a beast-man here?
He's a truly hardened criminal!
You know, that rumored World Destruction Committee...
Hey you!
I can understand what must be going through your mind, but you're a prisoner now!
If you skip work--
Itadakimasu!
And?
Morte... aren't you going to eat?
So... what have you found out so far?
Like escape paths, or the condition of the watch?
I washed dishes for the guys on watch...
That's not what I meant!
Never mind! Toppi, how about you?
I was treated like a monster by the already monstrous prisoners, kuma.
So... the condition of the watch?
The watch was too scared, so they wouldn't come near me, kuma.
That's not what I meant!
To me, it's a big deal, kuma!!
I've never even heard of a hero who has gained a reputation inside a prison, kuma!
That aside, we have to find some way to escape from here!
On the other side of the quarry, there is a gate through which supplies are brought in.
There are guards, but if we get our weapons back, I think we can force our way through.
Other than that, all that remains is to retrieve the Destruct Code and find a way out of here.
I know which room holds the Destruct Code, kuma.
The rest of our belongings are there too, kuma.
So, then...
I think I know where the keys to that place are.
When I was carrying food to the guardroom earlier, I saw a ring with lots of keys on it.
Guardroom?
It's one floor down from here.
Though position-wise, it's the furthest place from here,
as it's on the opposite side of the compound.
Hmmm... I knew it, without tools, it's impossible...
Isn't there some way...
Now that you mention it, don't bears in the wild live in nests they dig from the ground...?
That has nothing to do with me, kuma.
You just said "kuma," didn't you?
Also, with your size...
See?
I'm sorry, kuma.
I can't perform such a bear-like trick, kuma!
Kuma, kuma! You're frickin' annoying!
We don't have time for this!
Do you intend to finish out your life here with your name steeped in wickedness?!
It might be better for the world if she were to stay locked up in here, kuma!
A guard just gave a prisoner medicine...
This is the first time I've ever seen a beast-man who's kind to humans!
Morte? Are you still awake?
I'm sorry for this afternoon... for being unable to help you out.
It's nothing. It happens all the time.
Please don't think that all beast-men are like that.
And you're here even though you're innocent...
Though it may not be my duty as a beast-man to say...
Sorry. You were just so desperate...
Your face... it's bright red!
Thank you.
You again?!
Always taking up my time!
I guess even if I say it with my mouth, you won't understand!
You! Even though you're just a human, you dare stand against me?!
Even if you tell me with your mouth, I won't understand!
"Even though you are just a human," "even though you are a beast-man,"
You make me sick!
The meeting time with the Salvation Committee... is tomorrow morning, correct?
Yes, it looks like they'll arrive right on schedule.
It would certainly be troublesome if that Destruction Committee woman's
show of resistance this afternoon were to get the prisoners all riled up...
Before tomorrow, conduct an inspection of the prisoners' cells!
Yes sir.
It's a cell inspection.
Can you help me out?
At a time like this?
It's a cell inspection!
Come out!
Come out front!
What is it?! Hurry up and get outside!
Wait a second!
Don't move! Just stay still!
Hmm?
It's a cell inspection.
Hurry up and get outside.
How'd it go?
Key...
This is connected to the end of the mine.
Please escape through here with those three from the Destruction Committee.
If you go through these mine tunnels, you'll find a supply door.
Of course, there are guards, but if you are with those three, you should be able to break through.
That's reckless!
It will be alright.
She possesses enough skill to easily throw that guard,
and unlike the other prisoners, those three don't seem like such bad people.
I've been waiting for people like them.
You're wrong. It's you!
If someone were to find out...
What would they do to you...
You've received terrible treatment up to today.
It's the only apology I can give.
After tonight's inspection, I'll lead those three here.
Please prepare yourself.
Wait a moment!
Goodbye.
They've gone.
First, we'll get the Destruct Code.
Oh yeah, I have to give them their things back...
You guys are ready, right?
Please be quiet!
If you keep silent, I won't have to take your life!
No, I...
I told you to be quiet!
As a hero, I can't overlook the murdering of a person who does not resist, kuma.
Oh? So you're from the Summer Continent?
I haven't returned in ten years though...
I said shut up!
It's a jailbreak!
We were found out?!
Don't move--
Don't move!
What's happening?
Surrender!
Stand back! I'm from the World Destruction Committee!
You do know that I've killed many beast-men already, don't you?!
It would be pretty funny if someone here was wearing fake ears.
Don't worry about him! Shoot!
They're our precious money-tree!
Don't let them get away, no matter what!
But...
This is an order. Fire!
Why did you have to do that!?
Now the plan has gone up in smoke!
You didn't have to do it in such a forceful manner!
She is...
What?
Run!
Along with her--
Toppi!
Make a show!
We're gonna bust through!
A heavy drinker who can't protect his money, huh?
Left without treatment, I'd guess.
And here I was thinking this mission would finally be over...
Time for punishment.
NOOOO!!!
It kinda looks like we got you two involved...
Sorry.
No, it's better this way.
I think there will be a lot of things from now on, but...
It's alright.
I've learned from you.
Even if our races are different, if we join together, we can overcome our difficulties.
Is there something wrong?
It's nothing.
Well then... be well!
Yeah, be well!
Farewell, kuma.
Well, then...
Morte, from now on...
That just now... was the Spring Continent!
Up till now we've been in some boring places, but now... this is perfect!
Let's go!
In a certain town on the Spring Continent, there is a single sakura tree.
That sakura drinks the living blood of beast-men and beautiful flowers bloom forth.
Noooo!
The sacrificed beast-men's grudges even now wander the world and bring terrible disaster to those who would hurt the tree.
Next time, on World Destruction Episode 4:
There are Two Paths for a Human!
I don't believe in such a superstition, kuma!
