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?!
I remember that he called himself DT!
I swear!
I am going to get you back for this humiliation!
Be ready when I come for you, DT!
I don't get it!
Why do I have to live my days here
as the servant of this brat?!
I have the right to choose my work
and I don't recall signing any contract!
Who's responsible for this?!
I guess you are.
You're still talking about this?
You keep complaining about something
that's already in the past.
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 a customer support or something?!
Besides, I have the important mission
of returning to my own world.
I'm sorry, but I just don't have time to deal with you.
Oh, the world you said you came from.
Right! It might sound weird,
but I live in a different world than you.
Ditto, right back at you.
Jeez, sorry for being a commoner!
Hearing it from a real princess kind of hurts.
I said it because I figured it might.
You're really unpleasant.
But how do you plan on getting back?
Well...
You don't know how to get back,
you don't have any resources for your journey,
and you don't know anything about this world.
I can't say that wanting to split from us
sounds like a smart move.
He's right.
Since you have no other leads,
why don't you just go with our flow?
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?!
I'm sorry, but I can't stand it
when others try to make decisions for 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.
So we should continue to move covertly
with a minimal crew.
You're right.
But I wonder who those guys were.
Everybody, I...
We're glad you're safe, Erec-sama!
We were worried!
I bet they fought dirty, right?
I...
...have good subordinates.
Oh, come on!
No matter what happens, nothing would
ever shake our ballsiness!
Balls, balls, balls...
Erec-sama?
Oh, it's nothing.
And I'm sure you're not going to retreat
after being crushed, right?
We are also angry!
Let's unleash all that pent up anger!
Oh lord, release us from this nad-sty memory
and guide us to victory and glory!
That speech was worthy of the family jewels.
Praying isn't necessary.
Erec-sama was only defeated by coins-idence, by coins-idence!
I see, by coins-idence.
By coins-idence then.
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! Will you accompany me for a bit?
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 there's no RPG without tasks.
Hey, Kon, do you really hate the idea of going with us?
It's not about you guys,
I just hate being shoehorned into something!
I really don't like the type of main character
who doesn't make their own decisions.
The princess is dishonest, so she said it like that,
but I think she thinks you're really reliable.
Well, even then...
You might not know it, but in this world,
becoming a knight is a big deal.
It's a prestigious job.
I want a job change.
If possible, a government employee or system engineer.
Giver mint?
Uh, never mind!
Anyway, I don't want to do it!
I guess you're also dishonest, like the princess.
Here we are.
What is this?
A carrier pigeon, don't you know them?
I do know them, but what's with this size?
It's needlessly huge!
I'm sending out a letter
to update various contacts.
Even feeding them looks like a huge task.
In this world, these are the main communication method.
So there are no phones or email.
In the capital they have something called Alma Communication,
but they won't get it out here for a long time.
Erecpyle Dukakis, I've been waiting for you. 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.
Please rest assured that we will complete this mission
without fail.
Listen, 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 did not need to remind you of that.
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 looks way too expensive for a sword
I got my hands on in such an ordinary way.
You can't have it though.
Look at this.
A trigger?
I noticed that. What's it doing on a sword?
And this.
It's a decoration, right?
No, it's an Alma Crystal.
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.
That means I can sell it for a lot!
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.
W-Whoa...
No, that was just a normal hit.
I didn't even feel the slightest bit of Alma Energy.
I still think that was amazing.
It's no good, 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! Hey!
Stop!
You'll really break it!
To be honest, I hated carrying around this heavy thing!
If it's broken, I'm just going to sell this crystal and...
S-Stop it.
Damn you!
Hey, Kon.
I want to talk to you.
Follow me.
What did you bring me all the way here for?
I told you that I wanted to talk to you, you moron.
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,
this world will break in two and rush towards destruction.
You realize that you're talking about something
rather complicated despite being just a kid, right?
Shut up and listen, you tool.
T-Tool?
In order to prevent
the destruction of this 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've got me figured wrong!
I only won against that guy by accident.
I'm not as, wait, I'm not strong at all!
What are you talking about? You saved us twi—
Will you listen?!
The first time I just fell from the sky!
The second time he was simply an idiot!
This destructive power is amazing!
This truly is a Chariot.
Come out! DT!
This mission seems easy.
Don't let your guard down.
You're the only one besides Erec-sama
who's seen his face.
Yeah, I'm going to find that DT guy,
drag him in front of Erec-sama, and rake in the points.
Right.
This is a message to the fighter DT!
Come out right now!
If you don't come out,
I am going to destroy this city along with its citizens!
If you don't want that, come out!
DT!
Princess, are you hurt?
I'm fine.
What's going on here?!
It's the guys from last time.
And what's that thing?!
Pops, can you fight that thing?
That'll actually be tough.
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, stop calling me DT!
I might be a DT,
but he has no right to call me DT!
So what are you going to do, DT?
Don't call me DT!
Erec-sama!
We're the ones who found him!
Well done!
Now I can fight to my heart's content!
Listen up!
Don't interfere, this is my fight!
Erec-sama!
You bastard!
It's not fair to 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.
Erec-sama, 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!
Looks like it, good luck.
You go.
Wait, what?!
If you use that sword, you might
even be able to destroy that weapon.
Did you say might?!
Kon, you showed us two miracles already.
Do it a third time!
I've decided to bet on you!
I'll open the path for you!
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 the chosen warriors, Hyperion!
You could never—
What?
This is...
Alma's Light.
Could it be that he, that DT, is also a Hyperion?!
I don't know what's going on, but this works for me!
Uh, that doesn't count. Redo, redo!
What is this?!
It turned into a hammer?
Your fate has decided that you die here!
I'll end you!
Don't make me laugh!
This is good enough for you!
This is the end for you!
No, it isn't!
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?
No, I didn't move a single step.
I'm sorry for ruining your balance by crushing your ball.
I'll fix that right now!
Erec-sama!
Oh crap!
DT,
based on Erec-sama's orders, we will retreat for now.
But the next time we meet...
I'm not DT,
and I don't want to see you, so please don't come again.
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 skill with the sword.
But you know, you did well, Kon.
Well, I did see that he wasn't in his best form.
You made it happen, the third miracle.
And?
I have a condition.
Condition?
I'll go with you guys for now.
But in exchange,
help me look for a way to get back to my world.
Then I'll help you.
All right, then we have a deal.
Deal.
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 your work for me.
Next Time
We encountered a strange animal
on the way to the capital.
But for some reason, Kon could not get along
with this animal and absolutely refused to have it join us.
Kon, why?!
What happened in your past?!
