(CLEVATESS)

You finally woke up, Alicia.

C… Clen!

It looks like we've been captured.

So why are you still so calm?

Don't worry, Luna is fine.

Though he was crying until just now.

Excuse me, let me through.

Clen, what's going on?

Why did you fall after taking that hit?

Have you not only changed in appearance but also in strength?

Of course not.

It's just that this thin skin and small frame

are more fragile than I imagined.

Why didn't you escape?

Don't forget, I'm a human now.

I plan to keep my true identity hidden

until Luna becomes king as a human.

Besides,

I also want to see this side of the human world.

It seems like the people here

were all beaten and dragged onto the vehicle.

Explain the situation.

Those who attacked us were despicable bandits.

Seeing how they capture us alive and transport us by vehicle,

they probably intend to sell us to slave traders.

How strong are the bandits?

Among humans?

I suppose they're not too weak.

But the problem is,

they will use all sorts of seedy tricks.

Frankly, they're the worst of humans.

Please don't judge 'humans' just based on them.

(Act 2: The Captive Demon King)

Alright, we've arrived.

Get out, move.

Men and the old ones, go over there.

Women and children, to the other side.

No, I don't want to!

What an idiot.

We are the 'Crows.'

Anyone who dares to resist or escape

won't be left alive, understood?

If you do, get moving.

That's the kind of people they are.

Blonde woman,

come over here.

Move.

You stopped moving, little brat.

Come here.

What the heck, with a baby?

Hey, Neru…

I'm coming…

What are you doing? You're so useless.

It won't happen again, Sis Carme.

Geez, there's a baby that needs nursing.

Taking care of babies is your job, right?

We're going in.

I've brought her here, Broco.

I told you, don't call me 'Broco.'

Call me Boss.

Jazhak is no longer around.

Now I'm the boss of the 'Crows.'

You decided that on your own.

If anyone's unhappy, I'll make them accept it.

It won't be me doing the convincing,

but my cutest, sweetest Betty.

Don't get so excited, Betty.

That's a Western demon, a troll.

Did that guy tame it?

What's up, you want a man?

Alright, pick one of them to play with you.

Are you joking?

Heck, you're worse than Jazhak.

Well,

I heard you brought this over from the Mount Moon.

That's the base of one of the Four Demon Kings,

Clevatess.

I heard the Haiden King bestowed a 'treasure' upon 13 heroes

and sent them to conquer Clevatess.

Although they failed.

I also heard one of them was a woman.

A magic ore with such high purity

cannot be obtained near the village.

Is this a coincidence?

You have a sturdy physique

and incredible courage.

The proof is that you saw Betty and didn't wet yourself.

You're a hero, aren't you?

Did you know?

Hydlart was attacked by Clevatess,

and the royal city fell.

But for us 'Crows,'

it plays perfectly to our advantage.

A reddish blade.

Is it…

That's right.

Only the Haiden royalty knows the method for this kind of steel.

Mana Hydlart.

The more vivid the red, the higher the purity.

It is said that weapons made with this

can enhance the user's abilities.

However, this is of course a fake.

We sell not only slaves,

but also counterfeit magic swords.

Those fools can't see the difference.

I heard that all the royalty in the city are dead.

If the method of producing 'Mana Hydlart' is lost,

how much do you think this is worth?

It will keep surging.

By reducing the quantity, the price of a single weapon will rise.

I'm a genius for thinking of an easy way to make big money.

Moreover,

the high-purity "treasure" forged by all the kings

will soar in value in a way no one can imagine.

That's right, we are also collecting 'treasures.'

There are only two ways to obtain them:

becoming a hero recognized by the king,

or snatching it from the hero.

The simplest way is to steal it from a dead hero.

But most heroes die

while battling demons in their territory.

Let alone getting close,

it's hard enough finding out where it is.

So, female hero,

where is your 'treasure'?

You probably were desperately fleeing from Clevatess

and dropped the treasure there.

Where did you drop it?

Where are the other 12 'treasures'?

Dagarn, Satch,

tomorrow morning, take this woman to the location of 'treasures'.

We can, but…

If she is a hero,

wouldn't it be better to take her to get 'that' first?

Are you an idiot?

She has information on the 13 'treasures.'

What do we do if she kicks the bucket first?

That's the slaves' work.

Be quiet and take her away.

You can exhaust her strength

so she has no energy to resist.

What, Broco?

So you know what fun is.

Alright, come on.

We'll take good care of you.

Are you coming to my place tonight?

Let me think, should I?

Come on, just come.

Tastes good?

Have more.

This is all I can do.

Hey, Neru, there's no more wine.

I'll be right there.

Good kid, wait for me here.

Hurry up, you cow.

I'm sorry.

Right away.

Hey, brat.

Bring the meat over.

You, kid, have potential.

Here too, bring it over.

I want some too.

Get me some meat too.

Bring the meat over here.

He is strong and obedient.

We've found a good one.

It'll be a pity to sell him.

But he makes me feel uncomfortable.

He has horns, must have the bloodline of Orgg.

But his skin is too pale for an Orgg.

And that look in his eyes…

Hey, Neru wasted bottles of wine again.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry…

I'm sorry.

I need to punish you.

Come here.

It hurts, please let me go.

Their quirks are unique.

What's so good about her?

Let's stop here for today.

Don't spill the wine again.

I need to go back to the baby.

That woman is no different from a cow.

Exactly.

Am I drunk? I suddenly feel dizzy.

Me… Me too.

You have an excellent chest.

Let's have a chat.

So,

your name is Neru, right?

Are you a member of the bandits?

That's right.

Explain in detail.

I want to know what kind of being you are.

You can talk while feeding, go ahead.

E… ever since I was born,

I've been in 'Crows'.

I don't know who my father is.

My mother was here before,

but I always looked at her back.

I don't quite remember what she looks like.

Come…

I think she must have been a slave.

I always hid in the dark to watch.

Come and have fun.

My mother disappeared after I turned 12.

I don't know if she ran away or died.

I only know…

From that day on, they began to abuse me.

I was beaten and kicked; I almost lost all my teeth.

Now only one of my ears can hear.

I only realized afterwards

that my mother was protecting me all along.

Later, I lived like livestock.

It was after Sis Carme came

that my life slightly improved.

Men are simple creatures.

If you're nice to them,

they'll get lost on their own once they're satisfied.

Come.

I'll teach you how to deal with men.

I can't become like Sis Carme,

but at least it's much better than before.

Now I even have work to do.

I can produce a lot of milk,

so I can feed the baby.

I heard that only mothers who have given birth have breast milk.

Where is your child?

I don't have a child; the baby was stillborn at birth.

The baby was moving around in my belly,

but after being born, it wouldn't cry.

It's all my fault.

I could feel my body getting cold.

The world turned dark.

I was pulled into the depths of the earth.

At that time, I thought I could just die.

At least, I could meet my child in another world.

But…

Then I felt something warm.

So I woke up.

I opened my eyes and saw a little baby suckling my milk.

It was a baby about six months old,

a child I didn't know at all.

He was trying so hard

to suck my milk.

Seeing him striving to live,

I thought, I could live a little longer for this child.

Then another day, other children came.

I don't know where they come from, or where they've gone.

My second and third attempts at having children also failed,

but the reason I have lived until now

is these children wanting to drink milk.

I want to make them feel happy,

on behalf of my deceased children.

This is my everything.

Thank you for telling me, that's enough.

Come with me, Neru.

I want to hire you as Luna's wet nurse.

What?

Though I do not trust humans,

I can't think of a reason not to hire you.

Most importantly,

Luna is quite fond of you.

Answer me, Neru.

Will you become Luna's wet nurse

and leave here with me,

or stay here all your life

being used as a tool for these scums to vent?

Make a choice.

What should I say?

This invitation makes me very happy,

but it's impossible.

You are a slave.

I also have to take care of the babies that come here.

So, I'm very sorry.

Cross the bridge, female hero.

Why stop? Move on.

Don't even think about jumping from here.

Below is a large basin-shaped hole.

Before falling into the lake,

you'll first hit the rocks.

Anyone who jumps down will meet only death.

This is a relic of a magic ore mine,

so this place is…

What?

We've got another reckless challenger.

What a fool.

You should have heard of it too,

the story of the hero Khord.

I'm right.

This is the last place Khord visited.

'Elbe Shaft'.

You must keep your promise.

Yes, we keep our word.

Good luck, dear.

Okay, I'm going up.

That's reckless.

This mine has been completely flooded.

If the legend is true, then there are…

Right.

Those things are here.

The ones who ended Khord's legend.

Dear?

You…

No!

Dear…

As expected, he failed.

What a cruel thing to do…

The aquatic monster, Arvensis.

300 years ago, these monsters emerged with the flood,

causing this mine to be abandoned.

Even the then strongest hero, Khord, couldn't conquer them.

Even though there was still ground left for him to fight on at that time.

The treasure held by Khord, 'Zanbaku',

was named for slashing open a waterfall in front of the king.

You want to get it, right?

I didn't even know that sword had a name.

Does your sword have a name too?

I'm not obligated to tell you.

You agreed to set the slave free but didn't tie the rope properly.

You never planned to let him return alive, did you?

That is something scum would do.

So what?

You still don't understand your place.

You have cuffs on your hands and metal balls tied to your feet.

And you're standing on a suspension bridge.

Look.

The guys who want to make you squeal like a sow

are all waiting for you.

I'm going to make you scream.

Hey.

Don't mess around, Pito.

My eyes can't see anyway.

I don't care how high it is here.

However…

I know everything by smell and sound.

I know the movements of your muscles,

the scent of a woman and the pleasant sound of a heartbeat.

You're nervous. I love it.

I'll cut off your clothes first

and let everyone see you naked.

Geez…

I never thought I would thank him for cursing me.

She broke her own shoulder bone…

What?

Ouch…

-Not afraid of heights, are you? -It's broken…

The rope…

Since you said I would not die,

I will believe you, Clen.

That female hero…

How is she?
