Mission 05: Epic Angel Descends
Reia-san.
Seika? Are you...
She transformed?
Not only Seiji-san, but now Seika-san too?
I don't want you in pain anymore.
D-Don't get any closer!
You wanna get killed?
Reia-san.
You don't really want to do something like this, right?
You don't want to kill people.
No, I don't wanna.
But the Special Notes I wrote myself ruined my sanity!
"I'll never forgive pretty girls."
"I'll gouge their guts out and kill them."
Poor woman.
But you can't edit your Special Notes.
I'm sure... there's a way.
I don't know what it is,
but I'll think about it with you. So...
I told you not to get any closer!
Please... I don't want you in pain anymore.
My arm...
It's a miracle.
Even the power of the Almighty God can't heal what's missing.
I wrote a wish in my Special Notes.
If a friend is deeply hurt,
I want to become an angel and heal them.
Recover what's missing from them.
Friend...
Before I was reincarnated, I had a huge scar on my face, and I was missing an eye.
The pain of not having what you should...
I want to take that away, if nothing else.
Seika-san.
The damage was not just to your limbs.
Fixing your arm won't heal the scar in your heart,
but we'll find a way to solve this.
So don't give up, Reia-san.
Don't get closer, uggo!
Uggo. That's right, uggo.
It's so simple.
Reia-san—
You're not my friend!
Your crying face is ugly!
That means you're not my target.
Reeze, you're on.
Whoa.
It must have been scary.
You did great, Seika-san.
What, are you here to kill me?
That sounds awful.
Reeze told me where you were, so I just came to check on you.
Were you trying to blind yourself?
Yeah. Was there any other way?
I get the idea, but I can't commend self-harming.
Seika-san will be sad too.
Hmph.
I messed up. I should've been quick about it.
Listen, you wanna make a deal with me?
Huh?
I could offer you what you want.
A deal?
What's on the table is a way to lose just your eyesight.
Huh?
That's too good to be true...
Wh-What is that?
The highest skill of the darkness type, Sealing Hell with Five Fingers.
A terrifying skill to seal away one of your five senses into darkness.
That's the sales item I can offer you.
I can seal your eyesight with this.
Instead, you live your own life as you should.
Just who exactly are you?
I'm just a salesperson.
Unfortunately, I'm out of my business cards.
So sketchy!
You sound like you could be selling expensive copy machines.
She's sharp.
Seika-san told you this.
"I don't want you in pain anymore."
And this is what we have in store for you!
A skill that seals your eyesight without harming your eyes.
Is this an infomercial?
Her retort is pretty solid too.
A salesperson turns everything into business talk.
Now, this skill is effective until it's canceled by a skill of light.
What do you say?
I'm confident of its quality.
Can I ask you one thing?
Why would you go that far to try to protect her?
Is it because she's pretty?
The thing is, I also messed up my Special Notes.
Initially, I was going to leave this party since I couldn't trust them.
But Seika-san couldn't care less and innocently extended a helping hand.
I'm currently repaying that debt to her,
so I can't have something back happening to her.
You're awfully righteous.
And handsome. Just your voice, though.
Shut up.
I'm jealous of Seika.
If only I had a party like yours.
She finally smiled.
You want to come with our party?
Seiji-san would—
I don't think so.
My hands are too dirty now.
I've got to find my own path.
Come on, use your skill to seal my eyesight.
Okay.
It's a deal.
Are you awake?
I did such a thing?
It's the power born of your wish.
I had no idea I had a power like that.
Shigeru-san, I want to help as many people as possible with this power.
Seika-san.
Yes?
Let's keep this power between us.
What? Why?
Because your power is valuable.
I shouldn't use it even though it's valuable?
I'll give you an example.
In stories, what do thieves steal?
Treasures!
Then, why do they steal treasures?
Yes, because they're valuable.
There are bad guys and dangerous guys in the world.
I'm telling you this because you're 17 and are old enough to know this.
Okay?
Yes.
You are beautiful.
Who... me?
Reia targeted your life.
That's the proof.
You're a "treasure" who's not only beautiful, but also has a great power.
Bad guys won't overlook that.
You don't want the villains to abuse your precious power, do you?
But then, what should I do?
I'm not saying that you should doubt everyone.
I want you to see through them.
Can you trust them?
Are they "sheep" or "wolf"?
I understand!
I'll make sure to see if they have sharp fangs!
But if...
one in a million, you feel in danger, no matter how careful you are...
Then, call my name loudly.
I'll come running anywhere, anytime.
So a little of bit of mistake won't be a problem.
Shigeru-san.
Okay, thank you very much!
You shake hands at a time like this, right?
Because of the excruciating pain, I can't even feel the warmth of her hand.
All I could do was not squish a trembling small hand.
Then Reia-san is...
Right, she left last night.
And she left these words for Seika-san.
"Thank you for healing the scar on my heart.
Thanks, Seika
When we can meet again someday, you can count on my help."
Reia-san.
I wish we could at least say goodbye.
Sorry, that was my fault!
She'll be fine.
Her face was bright as she departed, so I'm sure she'll be all right.
She mentioned finding her own path.
Right, Seika-san?
What does that mean?
It's a secret between girls!
I wonder what kind of place the Principality of Valleria is.
I'm sure it's a beautiful city!
I think so. I'm looking forward to it.
We must try not to get overly excited.
Yes, I'll be careful!
The burger we had was the best.
I love burgers too.
Let us regain our strength.
Yes!
Right now, I feel like I could eat countless burgers.
Reia said that?
Yeah, at least she won't attack Seika-san anymore, at least.
But it was a surprise
to see Seika-san transform into such a brilliant form.
But I thought you could read other people's Windows.
Yes, but Seika-san's Special Notes didn't have a specific description of the transformation.
"Seika-san's"?
Does that mean Seiji-san's Special Notes had...
Oh yes,
a very thorough, detailed transformation process.
You have that much disdain?
What kind of full-throttle cringe text was it?
If I may, I'd like to read the whole thing.
Don't show such clear despair.
I want to understand his weakness.
His weakness?
Yes, the weakness hidden in his Special Notes.
The benefit you gain from your Special Notes is great,
but on the other hand, its downside is huge too.
Very well.
I will try and write it down.
Pray for me,
so I can finish writing it all down.
Your eyes are dead.
Well, it doesn't have to happen right now.
Around the time when Seiji-san decides on the goal of the journey is fine.
The goal?
Seiji-san mentioned it before.
I want to get to a metropolitan area to collect information and increase our options.
Finding our goals will come after that.
So, I came to my own conclusion after some thoughts.
Seiji-san should be the king someday.
Kyoshiro talked about how his peer became the king from a mercenary.
Which means, in this world,
a reincarnated person could have a chance to reach the throne.
Seiji-san and Seika-san, they're both so pure.
Seika-san's innocent ignorance.
Seiji-san's pureness of the light that continues to shine,
knowing the society's darkness like the sea of crude oil.
In a nation governed by a king like Seiji-san,
people like Seika-san can live safely.
That's how I feel.
Why can't you be the king?
Me? I'm not the type.
With my earnings of 1/10,000, the country will go broke.
Oh.
Seiji-san is someone who can nurture people and lead them.
He can trust people and let them be.
Whereas I would go ahead and do everything myself.
That's why I want Seiji-san to be the king.
Shigeru-san.
Sei-chan... No, please take care of my brother.
Yes.
We'll work together.
And that's how we secretly set our own goal.
First, I need them to raise their levels.
With my support, it should be easy.
The city should be within view soon.
After we pass through here...
A big group of customers!
This should help them gain experience—
We'll break through where their guard is weak!
Run!
Okay!
Oh no!
My shoes' untied!
Please go on ahead!
You mean your shoes with no shoelaces?!
Understood!
I'd rather you didn't!
Wind Wall.
Seika-san, you shouldn't go alone.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Wind Wall can last for a while, but what about Seiji-san?
He's in the middle of transforming?!
Was your shoelaces bit necessary?!
Crap!
If he transforms, his new outfit will be torn!
Are you sure?
Wasn't it expensive?
Oh, he realized it.
That's right, fold them neatly—
Wait, is now the time for it?!
And you're gonna start it from the beginning?!
This might take a while.
Maybe I'll take care of things on my own here.
I want Seika-san to level up too.
The monsters are climbing up!
What do we do?
Let's poke them from above and let them fall.
I'll give them the blessing of the Almighty God.
Accuracy raised, Attack raised, Attack Success Rate raised.
Wow, I did it!
This should take care of Seika-san and Reeze.
Now to scatter the monsters...
If I jump in myself, I'll mow them down.
Let's use mud balls.
Now it's a melee.
Wait, where's Seiji-san?
He's still doing it?!
To transform, he has to get mad.
And you aren't the type to get pissed off so easily.
Who just stepped on me?!
How long ago was that?!
The indomitable hero, Aldean!
It didn't tear?
What kind of an undershirt is that?!
You're running?!
Your form is perfect, but what's the point of your wings?
Are you all right?
I don't think so.
Excuse me... Who are you?
I'm just a traveler.
Wandering Hero, Aldean!
When did you wander around?
Leave the rest to me!
Monsters who threaten humans!
Begone now!
This light of my right hand will pierce any evil!
So you choose to fight.
Incredible!
This is actually my first time seeing him fight.
Aldean!
And this is Seika-san's first time seeing Aldean himself.
One more!
Golem.
Fighting them normally is a pain, but with Aldean...
You've no chance against this right hand!
Take this! Red Cutter!
Aw.
You bastard! Trying to seal my right hand?!
You did that to yourself.
That won't be enough to take me down!
Because I swore to myself!
So you can fly?!
I will never let my friends down!
That's the indomitable hero, Aldean!
And then the swarm of the monsters was squashed to the ground.
Happily ever after.
Wandering Hero, Aldean!
That's what he called himself, and he left.
He was very strong and passionate!
Wow, I wish I could meet him too.
What a bald-faced lie...
And where were you?
I seem to have been hit, and I passed out.
How pathetic.
Are you okay?
Should I cast a healing spell for you?
I'm okay, thank you!
Didn't you break your fingers with Red Cutter though?
I'm glad you're okay!
Ah well, I guess I'll secretly cast Heal later.
I wish I could thank him properly for saving everyone.
Seika-san, I'm sure he knows.
You bet.
And what was his name again, Reeze?
What kind of harassment is this called?
His name is Wandering Hero, Aldean!
That's right, Hero Aldean!
The plan of making Seiji-san a king...
Maybe I should reconsider?
Aldean. Hero Aldean...
