I'd like to buy another bunch.
I'm actually rich!
You say that, but...
Your bag is stuffed already!
I can just mass produce arrows with my skill.
Aren't you going to buy any?
Oh, you can't because you're broke.
No mincing words!
We found a nice inn.
Let's stay there for the night.
Yay! I'm excited.
Whoa...
Thank you, but I'll stay in the park.
I can pay for your room.
Huh? No, that's not right.
You refuse because it's my treat.
N-No, that's not the reason.
Then let's go!
This way.
No damage through clothes.
But this is throwing me off.
She's so innocent I don't feel safe letting her go off on her own.
If only there was a leader to guide her...

I can't afford to be in any deeper debt,
but I've got zero money because my earnings are reduced to 1/10,000.
I'll be stuck unless I find a solid source of income.

And once stuck, apparently you'll be in huge trouble.
Enough to make you want to run from this world you escaped to.
Now, what to do...
Wow!
Please. I can't eat them all by myself.
Are you sure you don't mind?
Chocolate cookies! Adorable!
Shigeru-san, how did you get them?
A gift from a kind person.
I imitated a corporate slave on the last train of the day.
"A corporate slave on the last train of the day?"
She doesn't know? How pure...
Looks like this.
Never gets to leave work on time
That... makes me feel like I want to give you something.
But begging is improper, even if you're poor.
When you're in trouble, tell me since I'm rich.
Yeah, sure.
It's tasty!
Thank you very much.
Well, technically I bought them.
Now that I know the rules, it's simple.
It's called... barter trading.
First, make a whole bunch of arrows with my skill and take them to the weapon store.
Ask them for 40% of the retail price and get paid with goods.

Arrows

I suppose my sales talk was aggressive.
Anyhow, my debt to you is paid off, Seika-san.
So good!
Now that we're full,
I'd like to talk about our next quest.
Really? I'd like to explore the town more!
We need to establish our income first.
Monsters didn't drop money, so...
So he did notice. Impressive.
Apparently there's a cave near this town.
I'm going to look into it today.
A cave? That sounds fun.
But it could be dangerous.
Are you going to the cave of Arga?
Need a navigator?
I've also been reincarnated, like you all.
Reincarnated?
Geez, your face is...
Yup, ugly mug.
I've never seen you before.
You just got here, didn't you?
Yes.
Seiji-san is cautious.
Then do you know what these are?
What are they?
Seika-san is too pure.
An item you can find at the first log house.
It gives you a one-time discount at the inn.
No, we didn't find any.
My gosh, we missed out!
You can have them, so go ahead and get a refund at the reception.
Are you sure?!
Wait, Seika-san!
What a bargain!
Excuse me, you are?
Oh, my bad.
I'm Kyoshiro, and I make a living by serving as a guide to newcomers like you.
Hire me, and you'll get a better bargain.
Too suspicious.
More likely than not, he's a newcomer hunter.
Well, if anything happens, I've got the power of the Almighty God.
Let's leave this to Seiji-san.
We're not exactly rich.
But if this is an investment to upgrade our knowledge and experience...
How about 120 riras a day, plus an incentive fee?
If that condition works for you...
Sure, it's a deal.
Now, let us go to the Cave of Arga!
Oh, goblins!
She missed every single one!
Seika-san, was it?
You should save your arrows.
It's all right. I have a lot of them!
No, I'm saying that you should work on your accuracy.
Imagine that each arrow costs you 100 million yen.
Even a rich person will have to be cautious then.
One hundred million yen...
It hit.
You're not too bad.
F-For me, it's a piece of cake!
Now I've surpassed Shigeru-san with his archery club experience.
You think?
We should go as well.
Okay.
Me too!
I didn't expect him to be a decent guide.
Sadly, it's in my nature as a former salesperson
to be suspicious of a business proposition.
He recommended this helmet too.
Apparently, it's made by someone who was also reincarnated.
Torch
Seika-san was impatient and wasted 60 riras.
My condolences.
Seiji-san, try securing your wrists!
Slash with the weight of the weapon, got it?
Understood!
With a dagger, try pulling the tip of it to slash.
A dagger's strength is its speed and lightness.
Okay.
Aren't you going to join?
I don't have any suitable skills.
Technically, it's not a lie.
The staff is hard to level up.
Sorry, I'm already at Level 61.
Don't get so discouraged.
I've heard that the staff's last skill is extraordinary.
True.
When I went outside of the town this morning to make some arrows...
I encountered a giant orc.

Everything within a 200 kilometers radius will disappear?!
If I happened to use it in Saitama prefecture,
it'd connect the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Japan.
Of course I canceled it right away.
Make sure to actively engage in a battle, okay?
Or else you'll have to retire like me.
Retire?
I used to belong to a mercenary group.
Its leader started just when I did, but I retired because I couldn't keep up.
But this dude rose through the ranks and became a king.

You wouldn't believe it.
He's at around Level 80, and his status average is 160.

My bad, didn't mean to shock you.
Anyhow, don't lose heart and just keep at it.
The Cave of Arga.
Looks like an ancient ruin, so this could be interesting.
Okay, let's go in.
Seika-san is...
too scared to move.
I'll hold your hand, so let's go together. Okay?
Are you a child?
Wow. It's beautiful!
That's limestone, right?
Watch out!
It'll fall on you!
How old are you, really?
Seika-san, may I ask your age in real life?
That information might be necessary for coming up with strategies.
Seiji-san, good job!
My age?
By the way, I'm around thirty in real life.
Wow, how unexpected!
Well... the thing is, I'm not actually 16.
Knew that.
I'm 17.
You're kidding, right?
I see.
Is it true that they teach you the value of pi is three now?
Basically it's 3.14, and when it can be rounded, it's three.
Any preparation for college exams?
Right, I mostly received As.
Wow, that's impressive.
At least she's academically smart.
I'm a bit relieved, young lady.
That's a good grade.
Yes!
As are great, eh?
Yes.
From there, navigated by Kyoshiro...
We fought off megabats...
and arrived at the depths of the cave.
You learned to be cautious today, huh?
Proud of you.
Seika-san, what's your level?
I'm Level 3.
That won't do.
That there is the boss chamber.
You'll be killed instantly.
What?!
There, there.
Let's call it a day.
I mean, the mid-boss in this early stage must have already been...
Thank you very much.
We've made it this far safely, and it's thanks to you, Kyoshiro-san.
Don't mention it.
You'll make a good leader.
But before I go, there's a special event.
Follow me.
Right here.
Ugh, it's bringing up unpleasant memories.
Conference Room
Did you create this room?
No, another reincarnated person did.
This is a safe spot no monster or magic can penetrate.
Yup, I'm gonna call you out, Kyoshiro.
Warning If you activate Final Destination: New 2 at this location, everything within a 200km radius of the town of Iria will disappear. Estimated death roll: 1521851 / when your Magic Power is at 65535 Continue?
There's no safe spot within a 200-kilometer radius of the town of Iria.
Naturally, this isn't it either.
Wow, this feels like a party!
Yes! A welcome party for the reincarnated people who made it this far.
Poison Detection Antidote Milkshake
Hmm. Some kind of drug on the rim.
A sleeping potion.
Not that it works on me.
I appreciate your thoughts, but we have to get back to the town before sunset.
Nice going, Seiji-san.
Really? But this is a celebration.
Right, I guess I overstepped.
Well, I won't force it on you.
Let's hurry back to the town.
We can celebrate there properly.
Please forgive me!
I was skeptical of you!
Oh, he's actually a nice guy.
You're being so generous to us, and yet I...
Oh no, don't worry about it!
You did what you're supposed to do as a leader.
Here, will you take this?
Yes!
And he's passionate too.
Gosh, I'm pathetic.
To suspect someone's generosity...
Can I have another?
It's tasty.
Geez, are they going to be okay?
Antidote magic glows, so I'll get caught.
Maybe I'll slow them down with conversation.
S-So, what did you all do before coming to this world?
Shigeru-san.
Crap!
All of us, including me, ran away to this world.
I'm sorry, I misspoke.
Do you mind if I tell you a little about my past?
Go ahead.
When I was in school, I got fed up with everything and left home.
I started my own company.
It was called Success Life.
I think I've been there to pitch.
And the president there looked like him...
When the company started, a salesperson came with no appointment.
Let's call him Mr. Y.
Mr. Y tried to sell me a really expensive copying machine.
That's me.
Naturally, I tried to negotiate the price.
Then Mr. Y said...
I'll make you smile. I'll never let you down.
"I'll make you smile. I'll never let you down."
He even told me, "You're the president. You need to learn to take it easy."
Spurred on by Mr. Y's passion, I decided to let my employees run the office,
so I could look outward and "take it easy."
Soon after that, my company grew and became a publicly listed company.
That's when I was a NEET.
But after that, I let my company go bankrupt.
The cause of the bankruptcy was the accident with the AI we were developing.
It brought misfortune to everyone involved.
I became mentally ill.
I couldn't repay Mr. Y for the opportunity he had given me.
So when I came to this world, I promised myself...
that I'd never let anyone down.
You really are a stand-up guy.
The thing is, Mr. Y's name was... Shigeru.
Shigeru-san, can you tell me what your last name is?
Well, it's uh...

Sasaki.
Oh boy, you fell asleep in a place like this.
You're gonna catch a cold.
Bro, you're especially skillful today.
The sucker today was honest to a fault.
It was a child's play.
Rest assured, I'm awake.
They're all good stuff, so wrap them up nicely.
Yessir.
This feeling... It reminds me of something I'd rather forget.
Maybe we'll roast this pig.
That's brutal.
No matter. Now I can freely use my full power...
Seiji-san?
Don't you dare... touch them!
Well, that's admirable. But all you can do is to stand.
Let's continue!
Yessir.
S-Stop it!
Your number was up when you trusted me at the very end.
Well, you were outclassed, pal.
Crap.
But with my broken stats, Seiji-san will get caught in the attack.
Ow!
Seiji-san, nice!
Not a scratch on them!
It'll lower their prices.
So you've been abducting people like this.
You are an awful person.
Many of the people who come to this world
have already been broken in the previous world.
When they're about to have a second chance at life, you push them down.
This is the world where all the losers end up.
I'm afraid you were a bit too naive.
Still, I won't let you touch my friends!
I will protect them!
Ha! What can you do, looking like that?
Hurry and pack him up!
Yessir!
Now!
Seiji-san!
Improv skill: Pig Jump!
Yoshioka Shigeru Class: Almighty God Age: 16, Sex: Male, Looks: -255
I just hurled myself in, taking advantage of my weight.
Attacking recklessly with my stats could pulverize everything.
Th-That was reckless.
Leave this to me.
I can't!
I cannot let you fight alone!
Right, he's a pretty passionate type.
Stop messing with us.
Just so you know, I am strong.
I'll be able to take you down in one hit.
Huh? One hit?
Nonsense. Tie him up!
Yessir!
No so fast!
You're in my way.
Muscle Power 80 Punch!
Who is that pig?!
If you want to hurt me, bring girls.
Damn it! Take down that pig first!
Bring it.
Shigeru-san, please run!
I want you to run.
I'll take them down in one hit.
Elaborate a little on this "one hit."
Hey, don't touch my hair.
Seiji-san, the pig's gonna die at this rate.
Surrender now, or—
Please be quiet.
Aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw...
Stop!
This light of my hand will penetrate any and all evil.
If you want to back off, now's the time.
Wh-What is that skill?
Special note... I made an oath in my special note.
When the hot blood within my veins throbs like a drum, the roar of the noble hero, like a lion king, shall awaken another me that slumbers inside, opening my third eye. My passion shall materialize as the rays of light, etching the crest of the sacred champion on my chest, displaying its majestic silhouette. The pure white wings born out of my wish stretch out from my shoulders and soar through the sky, with shining, golden mane. I will never let my friends down.
"I will never let my friends down.
If this oath is broken, I will pay its price."
With all the bonus points I received in exchange for this oath,
I gained this power!
I mean, Seiji-san...
You put everything in a bonus special skill?!
Couldn't you balance it out?
This special skill is triggered by anger.
When my anger reaches its peak, it shines in bright red!
Put away your weapons and leave, please.
All we've gotta do is make it so you can't use your right hand.
It might leave a scar or two, though.
So you insist on fighting.
You leave me no choice.
He totally ignored defense.
It's reckless, no matter how you look.
But I don't hate that.
Get lost, pig!
Shigeru-san, please step back!
We're outnumbered.
Use me as a shield.
Wh-Why would you go that far?
I...
In real life, being nice means you get the short end of the stick.
So at least in another world, being nice should be rewarded.
I just don't want to run away anymore.
Show us how it's done, leader!
Shine in red, my fist.
Transformation?
Who exactly is he?!
That's Seiji-san.
The indomitable hero...
Aldean!
Why?
