Moguzo, they had them.
Breakfast will be a feast.
You really like cooking, huh.
You're not even on breakfast duty.
Do you like making or eating food better?
Hm...
I like both, I guess.
I think I liked cooking for people.
Aside from whether or not it made them happy.
What are you talking about?
Everyone's happy with your cooking.
Your cooking tastes really good.
Really?
Yeah.
Thanks.
I'll go wake everyone up.

We're very sorry.
Sorry.
What? It was an accident.
An unfortunate accident!
How does a wall just break?
How... the heck am I supposed to know?
What was that?!
Idiot, leave it!
Just apologise!
It's not like we saw anything.
Quit fussing.
You were trying to!
That's a crime!
I'll call the police!
There ain't any in this town!
Why did you bring your hand towels in with you, anyway?
You're not supposed to.
Just a little more and... damn.
How do you know this?
Huh?
I-It's not like I'd want to look at a flat-chested girl like you!
Don't call me flat-chested!
Tell the truth. I won't get mad if you say it now.
Really?
Well, you know...
...when I tried to climb the bath house wall, it broke.
It just means we were too inexperienced.
The wall and us.
You said you wouldn't get mad!
I didn't see anyth-
I'm never going to talk to you again!
Everyone's in a bad mood.
It's still a little warm.
We might catch up to them.
Found them.
Two... no, maybe three.
It's not a lone poplin, huh?
I think you mean "goblin", not "poplin".
Yeah.
Let's go back.
It might take a while for Shihoru.
No, I'm really sorry.
Maybe it's okay if it's you.
I'm not saying it would be okay if it were you who saw.
It's just that even if you did, you would apologise...
But it's not that just because you apologised, it's okay either...
What's seen is seen...
You're repeating "seen" a lot...
Then, what's okay?
I'm not the person to ask...
Umm...
But it wasn't right, huh?
Yeah.
It wasn't right, Haru-kun.
Sorry.
So what will we do?
What to do?
All we can do is go back to Ortana.
Grey pains but all for vain, huh?
You meant, "great pains but all in vain", right?
Huh?
Did I remember it wrong?
It happens.
No earnings today.
The next day...
The day after...
And the day after that...
We barely earned anything.
When I say barely, I mean close to nothing.
Well, to be honest, we made nothing.
The clothes we started off with quickly began to wear down.
Well, they weren't made to withstand hiking mountain trails and fighting goblins.
So we do what we can to make them last, but...
I'd give anything for new underwear...
But the clothes in this world are expensive.
Or rather, we're so poor we can't buy anything.
We can't even buy underwear.
So at night, we wash them and sleep without them.
Then in the morning, we put them on under our equipment.
It's better than no underwear at all.
All right!
My goal tomorrow is to defeat a goblin and buy new underwear.
Oh, sorry.
I'm done now.
I smelled a faintly sweet scent.
Wait.
We've been going without underwear...
What about the girls?
Oh no.
I'll sink down to Ranta's level.
Oh... I'm, uh...
Good night, Haru-kun.
G-Good night.
Not good.
It's not good if they're dressed like that.
It's just too much if they wander around the lodging like that.
Too much. It's just too much!
They're too vulnerable!
Th-This isn't good, I'll really be on the same-
What are you doing, Haruhiro?
Uh, nothing.
The heck?
It's this rain.
Nothing's going to dry even if you wash them.
Why not do it tomorrow?
I don't know if the rain will let up tomorrow.
You're the one who told me to wash my clothes once in a while 'cause they stink, Parupiro.
What I'm trying to say is, I regret washing my stuff today.
I can't let King Shameless here get near the girls right now.
This sense of duty drove me to act.
I guess you're right. It's a pain anyway.
Yeah. Right?
I was thinking maybe the girls were there, muhaha.
Don't "muhaha" me.
That was close.
The way they're dressed is too tempting.
I've got to tell them.
Or should I...?
No, I'll tell them!
This is Damuro.
They say it was the second city of the Arabakia Kingdom.
It was a much bigger city than Ortana.
Currently, Damuro is a base for goblins.
Goblins found near the new city area are numerous and strong.
Too difficult for us to defeat.
That's why we're going to the old city area to target goblins separated from their groups.
That said, compared to the forest, we have more encounters, so it's still dangerous.
One goblin. Looks like he's sleeping.
All right, let's do it.
Moguzo's armour will make sound, so Haruhiro, Ranta, and I will approach first.
If we can close in on the goblin without waking him, the three of us will finish him.
If we wake him, Yume, use your bow.
Shihoru, back us up with magic from a distance.
Moguzo, you'll run to the front.
If it becomes a head-on fight, we'll use the same formation as before.
We'll surround him so he can't get away.
Don't back away!
Dammit!
Is it dead?
It's so easy... to attack them in their sleep.
I need to get a claw or something.
Vice, Vice.
Wow, this is our best record yet.
It's only our second time, though.
Four silvers.
Whoa...
It's not over yet.
We were lucky that it was easy today, but it won't always be like this.
Keep your guard up and look for our next target.
C'mon, don't be such a killjoy.
We just had a huge win, thanks to me!
We should celebrate these times!
You're right.
I don't mind enjoying it.
You were a big help, too.
Right?
Didn't I really seem like a Dark Knight when I wore a cruel smile as I stabbed the gob?
No, you were just as worked up as usual.
Idiot!
I got him good without a hitch!
Where are your eyes?
Oh, I see them, right there!
Your eyes are such small slits, I barely noticed them!
Really, this again?
At least react to it!
Just say something, you gonna leave me hanging?!
How many times is it now?
It's getting annoying!
We defeated an enemy, and earned money.
The party's mood lightened again.
Everybody was probably on edge because they were worried, too.
Before we know it, maybe we'll be thinking and acting like Volunteer Soldiers.
[Are Goblin Pouches Filled with Our Dreams?]
After that, we targeted lone goblins and defeated them.
In Damuro, we sometimes encountered groups of five or more.
A pair was hard enough, so five was out of the question.
But still, we enjoyed the task of walking around the old town and sketching out a map.
We'd go explore places we hadn't been to yet.
With that, we had a goal set, so we learned our way around, too.
We'd get nervous when we stepped into new areas.
And we felt a little better in places we had mapped already.
That'll be thirty coppers.
Thirty?
Aren't these secondhand?
I'd consider it for fifteen coppers.
Brand new, it'd go for a hundred coppers.
Twenty-eight coppers.
I'd go as far as twenty coppers.
I still have other things to buy.
Twenty-five coppers.
I can't go lower than that.
I'll take it.
Hurray!
Wow! This is so freakin' good!
What's it called again?
It's soruzo, right?
Yum, soruzo's so good!
Can we get another order?
Comin' right up!
Shihoru?
S-Sorry...
I'm... still not...
Hm?
Did you actually want him to talk to you?
There were a lot of nicks in the blade, huh?
You noticed?
Before anything else, I've got to keep my weapons in good condition.
Or else I feel uneasy.
Yeah, I get that.
With thoughts like these, do you think we've become influenced by Volunteer Soldiers too much?
Influenced or not, we are Volunteer Soldiers.
Just trainees, though.
Oh, nice.
Ranta-kun kept haggling, so it was pretty hectic.
Stupid, it's common sense to haggle.
That was nothing.
There's too much, the food's going to go bad before we can finish it.
If it rots, I'll give it to you.
It's okay to buy weapons, clothes, and food...
...but I was thinking we could keep spending to a minimum, so we could try learning new skills.
Are you sure about that?
If I sharpen my Dark Knight blade skills, it might be too much to handle!
Whatever, you only have one skill right now.
Shut up!
I'm going to polish up that one skill all the way!
Until it shines with dark light!
Did you buy that, too?
Oh, I made this.
You carved that?
You're more deft than you look, Moguzo.
You could sell that.
Oh, that wasn't my intention...
Carving's relaxing for me.
Oh...
Yume and them might like it.
What made you think of Yume just now?
Shut up.
I just thought they might like it.
You know what Haru-kun said?
"If we earn a little extra...
...wouldn't that be nice to have clothes for wearing indoors, too?"
Yeah.
That... would be nice.
Right?
Yeah.
Shihoru, that hair clip is super cute.
Eh?
Y-You... think so?
Yeah.
Shihoru, I know you haven't been talking to the guys this whole time.
But I think it's about time that you could try, just a little bit.
Yeah.
I'll try.
Well, it's okay if you don't,
but I get worried when you're always quiet, too.
I'll try.
Ah, sorry...
I'm not too good with words.
Manato?
Er, thanks.
That was unexpected.
Sorry, I was actually about to say something completely different.
What's up with that?
I'm the one who's grateful.
You're grateful?
Why?
Well... you're all willing to be my friends.
For that, I'm grateful.
It sounds a little fake when I say it like this, but...
No, I believe you.
But...
How do I say this...
You're the one who's been helping us.
If you weren't here, we'd be in bad shape.
Worst case, we might not even be alive.
Same goes here.
If you guys weren't here, I don't know what would have happened to me.
You can't live in this world alone, no matter how you look at it.
Don't you... uh...
I don't want you to take this the wrong way...
...but don't you think you could have made a lot of other friends?
You could just ask for a favour and see if you could join their party.
I didn't think of that.
I don't think I like that kind of thing.
To ask others for favours.
Maybe I was bad at dealing with hierarchical relationships.
I probably was, too.
I somehow feel like... I'm not the kind of person people usually treat as a friend.
I don't think...
...that's true.
That's just what I think, but I can't back it up.
It's true that I only know the Manato in this world.
But...
It doesn't matter what you were like before.
Nobody cares.
The Manato in this world is our friend and leader.
We need you here.
Let's sleep.
We have an early start tomorrow.
Yeah.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to see the expression on his face right now.
Day twenty-three in Grimgar.
I've gotten used to the red moon.
People can get used to any kind of environment.
At least... I think so.
