I've had it up to here with my DT!
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
I want to return home as a real man
The treasure I've kept my whole life is too saddening to bear (saddening to bear)
I've long since hoped to give it up to you
Since I crossed worlds and met you, we've hardly been apart
I dream every night, but not always soundly
I toss and turn as my Hyperion bursts into flames
How can I cool my fevered aura?
The closer we become, and the further we clash,
the more I battle your Alma Gear
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
My right hand has served me faithfully, but now we must part
It is decided; we shall no longer be apart (no longer be apart)
I won't let you go until our score is settled
I will fight to lose what is mine
Is this a hospital?
Oh, looks like you're awake.
Doctor, am I...
It is truly unfortunate, but one had to be removed completely.
Damn you!
How dare you?!
He called himself DT.
I swear to you!
I will repay you for this humiliation!
Be ready when I come for you, DT!
I don't get it!
Why do I have to serve this brat?!
I don't remember signing up for this bullshit!
Who's responsible for this?!
Wait, I guess it's you...
You're still going on about this?
You just can't stop complaining, can you?
You're so petty.
I'm bringing it up again because it's important!
But it's an official order of the St. Piria Empire, issued directly by the princess.
At this point, your opinion has no weight.
That's why I'm complaining like this!
Isn't there a cooling off period or customer support or something?!
Besides, I need to worry about getting home first and foremost.
I'm sorry, but I just don't have time to deal with you.
Yeah, the other world you allegedly come from.
Right!
It might sound weird,
but I live in a different world than you.
Ditto, right back at you.
Well, my bad for being a pleb.
Hearing it from a real princess kind of hurts.
That would be the point.
You suck.
But how do you plan on getting back?
Well...
You don't know how to get back.
You don't have any money to get back, and you don't know anything about this world.
Going off on your own doesn't sound like it'll help your chances of survival.
He's right.
Since you have no other leads,
why don't you just stick with us?
As long as you are my servant,
you won't have to worry about your next meal.
So what? I'm supposed to thank you for feeding me?!
Sorry, but nobody makes my decisions but me!
Thanks for the food!
So what's our plan now?
We'll keep heading for the capital.
Moving with a large entourage will just draw unwanted attention to us again.
We should continue to move covertly with as small a crew as possible.
You're right.
But I wonder who those guys were.
Everybody, I...
We're glad you're safe, Sir Erec!
We were worried!
I bet they fought dirty, right?
I...
have good subordinates.
Oh, come on!
We have more than enough balls to take on anything that's dished out to us.
Balls...
Sir Erec?
Oh, it's nothing.
They'd have to be nuts to think you'd let them go after that, right?
We'll crush them!
We'll crush every single one of those nutsos!
Oh lord, take from us these stones that weigh us down
and bestow upon us the jewels of victory!
That prayer was better than any junk they could ever come up with!
Brothers, we need not pray.
It's absolute bollocks that Sir Erec could ever lose!
That's right, absolute bollocks.
Bollocks, indeed.
E-Enough...
I appreciate your sentiments.
There will be a briefing in two hours.
I want you all to be prepared.
Isn't he kind of lopsided?
Hi!
Wanna go for a walk with me?
Why do I have to tag along for your errand?
Well, everything's a learning experience.
You should see as much as you can,
no matter what you choose to do next.
I guess it's not an RPG unless you have quests.
Kon, are you really that against staying with us?
It's not about you guys.
I just hate being shoehorned into things!
I don't like main characters that let others decide their life for them.
The princess wasn't completely honest with you.
I think she believes you to be very reliable.
That may be, but...
You probably didn't know,
but around here, becoming a knight is a big deal.
It's a prestigious job.
I want a job change.
Preferably a government employee or system engineer.
Got... vermin?
Uh, never mind!
Anyway, I don't want to do it!
I guess like her, you're not completely honest either.
Here we are.
The hell is this?
You don't know what a carrier pigeon is?
I do, but look at him!
He's fucking huge!
I'm sending out a letter.
Just letting some people know what's going on.
It looks like even feeding them is a massive endeavor.
They're how we communicate in this world.
So there are no phones or email.
They have something called Alma Communication in the capital,
but it'll be ages until we get that out here.
Erecpyle Dukakis.
I've been waiting for you.
You may begin your report.
We are currently searching for the 36th princess of the St. Piria Empire.
As soon as we have her location,
we will immediately move out.
Rest assured that this mission will be completed without fail.
Hear this.
In order to bring about the desired reality,
we must stop the progress of the moderate faction as soon as possible.
I am sure I need not remind you of this.
I will settle this before my superiors find out.
I have to get the Alma Gear back from DT.
Not that he could actually do anything with that weapon.
It looks like this is no ordinary sword.
Seriously...
It seems way too awesome to be from an enemy drop.
You can't have it though.
Look at this.
A trigger?
I noticed, but what's it doing on a sword?
And this.
It's a decoration, right?
No, it's an Alma Crystal.
An Alma... what?
It's the super ore of this world.
It's mainly used as an energy source,
but you rarely see crystals this big.
So you're saying I could rake in a huge profit!
That's right.
But before that,
we need to figure out how it works.
What are you going to do?
Test the blade.
I believe it works by adding Alma Energy to the sword,
thus creating a powerful attack.
Why do you think that?
Because I see no other reason why we were defeated so easily.
Ah, you're a sore loser.
Wh-Whoa...
No, that was a normal strike.
I didn't feel the slightest bit of Alma Energy.
It's still pretty amazing.
Darn, it won't react at all.
Maybe it's broken.
Give it here.
Hey!
Work, damn you!
This ain't the time to be broken!
Stop!
You'll really break it!
To be honest, I hated carrying around this heavy piece of junk!
If it's broken, I'm just going to sell this crystal and...
S-Stop it.
Damn you!
Hey, Kon.
I need to have a word with you.
Come with me.
What did you bring me all the way here for?
Didn't I say that I needed to have a word, dimwit?
Then talk already!
You know I...
...have a lot of time, I guess.
This world is precariously balanced right now.
If that balance were to be upset even a little,
the world would break in two
and rush towards destruction.
You know those are pretty deep and complicated things for a kid to be talking about, right?
Shut up and listen, you tool.
T-Tool?
In order to prevent the destruction of the world – that is, war,
I need to marry that Jaba-something.
You told me about that last time, but...
This marriage is not just my personal issue.
It's an issue that affects the whole world.
Kon, no matter what happens, I cannot die.
So...
Wait a sec! Hey!
You got me all wrong!
I only beat that guy accidentally!
I'm not as stro—
No, I'm not strong at all!
Stop it, you saved us twi—
Will you listen?!
I just fell on the first guy!
The second guy was just an idiot!
This destructive power is amazing!
So, this is a Chariot.
Come on out, DT!
This mission will be a breeze.
Don't let your guard down.
You're the only one besides Sir Erec who's seen his face.
Yeah, I'm going to find that DT guy,
drag him in front of Sir Erec, and rake in the points.
Right.
Calling the fighter, DT.
Come out right now!
Stay in hiding if you want this city and its citizens to go down in flames!
Should you rather that not happen, come out right now!
DT!
Princess, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
What's going on here?!
They're the guys from last time.
What is that?!
Pops, can you even take that thing down?
It won't be easy.
And with the town being held hostage...
DT!
I am not bluffing!
Come out and face me!
By the way, who's DT?
This guy.
That bastard better stop calling me DT.
I might be one,
but he still has no right to call me DT!
So, what are you going to do, DT?
Don't call me DT!
Sir Erec!
We flushed the rats out!
Well done!
Now I can fight to my heart's content!
Listen closely!
Do not interfere!
This is my fight!
Sir Erec!
You bastard!
You can't bring that thing to a fight!
What are you, five?!
Say what you want!
No matter what you say, I will not forgive you!
Damn, we can't even run.
Sir Erec, are you trying to kill us?!
No, I didn't mean to...
Did the sight get misaligned?
Seriously, are you trying to kill us?!
This can't be! Why?!
One had to be removed completely.
Removed completely...
Kon, it looks like he's got some sort of problem over there.
This is our chance.
Yeah man, good luck.
You're up.
Wait, what?!
If you use that sword,
you might even be able to destroy that weapon.
Might, you say?
Kon, you gave us two miracles already.
Give us a third!
I'm placing my bets on you!
I'll open the path!
H-Hey!
You fool!
You're facing a Chariot!
What?!
Now, Kon!
Damn it, I don't care anymore!
It's pointless.
The Alma Gear can only be used by Hyperion, the chosen warriors!
You could never—
What?
This is...
Alma's Light.
Is that DT also a Hyperion?!
Hey, I don't know what's going on, but this works too!
Wait, uh, let me try that again.
What the fuck is this?!
It turned into a hammer?!
Lady Fate has chosen your death!
I'll end you!
Don't make me laugh!
This is plenty good for you!
Time to meet your maker!
Like hell it is!
Did I do it?
DT...
You have made me angry!
You will pay for that...
with your life!
My balance... I can't run straight?!
I see.
Balance, eh?
I've had enough!
I'll finish this with my next move!
I agree.
Let's finish this!
But I'm the one who will win!
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?!
You dodged it?
Actually, I didn't move a single step.
Sorry for ruining your balance by crushing your nuts.
I'll fix that right now!
Sir Erec!
Oh crap!
DT.
As per Sir Erec's orders, we will retreat for now.
But the next time we meet...
I'm not DT.
I also never want to see you guys again, so please stay away.
KT, don't.
I'll have to ask you for a fight then.
Why won't you listen to me?!
So, can't I attack them now?
They're all facing away, and one blow could—
Don't do it.
They're all really strong.
You stand no chance against their swordsmanship.
But you know, you did well, Kon.
Well, I noticed he wasn't exactly at his best either.
You did it.
A third miracle.
And?
I have a condition.
Which is?
I'll go with you guys for now.
But in exchange,
help me look for a way to get back to my world.
Agree, and I'll help you.
All right.
It's a deal.
Same here.
Well, you ought to go to the capital anyway.
What do you mean?
There might be a way to get back to your world in the capital.
Now, go.
Do as I command.
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Grab his precious balls!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Love and dreams aren't so important!
Give me some balls!
You can't do much when you're all respectful, right?
Come on! Hit me!
Behold an anime of shock & awe!
We're all like guys from next door, that's what makes it great!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Be yourself and break through their lines!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Being safe is boring
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Grab his precious balls!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Nobody cares about your dreams and love and offspring once you're dead!
Let's go, ED!
Next Time
We encountered a strange animal on the way to the capital.
But for some reason, Kon could not get along with it
and absolutely refused to have it join us.
Kon, why?!
What happened to scar you so?
