More...

More.

Give me more!

The Have-Nots

Somebody! Help!

Come on, come on, come on!

Warriors? I-I'm saved...

We'll take it from here!

If you see one goblin,

there's a hundred more around!

Don't let a single one escape!

Yeah!

I'm starving...

I finally hit Level 6 after today's goblin hunt!

Well, there were a lot of them.

And we made off with quite a haul.

Let's cash out and then split the take.

Oh, yeah!

Goblin hunting, huh?

That'll never be me.

I'm useless, with a stomach that never stops growling, to boot.

All thanks to this worthless skill...

Guess I should be grateful to even have a job.

Oh, thanks for coming!

The holy knights are coming through...

It's that trio of Vlerick siblings.

I'm so terribly sorry, Sir Hado, let me just—

What do you think you're doing to my boots, you wretch?

I didn't mean to...

You're talking back? To me?

You must know what happens if you insult holy knights, right?

Your head comes off.

I'm so terribly sorry!

Hado, Memil, that's enough.

Don't let it happen again.

Y-yes, sir!

You got lucky.

Very lucky!

You all right?

That was awful.

Unbelievable. Hard to believe that Lady Roxy is a holy knight like that lot.

Shift's almost over. Just gotta make it through.

Hey, Fate.

Have you done a proper job filling in for us today?

Yes, Sir Rafale.

Is that right? In that case...

That's your pay.

Pick it up.

Yes, sir.

Sorry! You were so filthy, I didn't notice you.

Absolutely pathetic.

That noisy gut makes it seem like we don't keep you fed.

You trying to embarrass the Vlerick family?!

In this world, there are haves...

and there are have-nots.

You useless maggot!

What separates them...

Who do you owe your livelihood to, again?

Someone with a worthless skill like yours

is only earning money thanks to the grace of holy knights like us...

You should be so grateful!

...are the special powers bestowed by the gods: skills.

When you slack off, it reflects poorly on us, your employers.

On your feet.

Come on! Get up already.

I believe he needs to be taught a lesson.

Defiant dogs need strict discipline, after all.

Stop this!

Inflicting that kind of abuse on the citizens we're sworn to protect...

It is not the act of a holy knight.

Roxy Hart...

Watching the gate is an honorable duty for a holy knight.

A duty that should be your responsibility.

It is also the duty of holy knights to provide employment for the have-nots.

You claim kind of treatment is necessary?

This amounts to a difference in professional opinion, I'd say.

If you'll excuse us. Come along, Hado, Memil.

Fate... are you all right?

Yes.

Rafale...

Stay still, please. You're bleeding.

That's better.

Th-Thank you so much.

We're cohorts when it comes to watching the gate.

Besides, this is how a holy knight should conduct themselves.

Now, it's time for me to relieve you.

Oh, right! Thank you so much.

Fate...

If this kind of thing happens again, please, tell me.

It's okay.

But...

I'm used to it. If you'll excuse me.

Fate...

If this kind of thing happens again, please, tell me.

I know what Lady Roxy said,

but with how he is, there's no telling what he might do.

I can't risk getting her involved.

They knock you around again?

If this keeps up... you're gonna end up like the last guy.

Endless abuse, brutal labor...

There's only one outcome for that, and it's a nasty one.

Thanks for the meal, barkeep.

I'll be praying you don't end up like that.

Stupid useless Gluttony...

I wish I could've been born with something worthwhile, too.

I'm not asking to be a holy knight.

I'd take being a warrior, or even a merchant or a craftsman.

But... there's no changing how things are.

When you have nothing, you're trapped as a loser.

Thieves?!

I need to let Lady Roxy know!

You're certain?

Yeah! I saw them myself. There's no doubt.

I'll need to apprehend them.

Please, take over here for me.

Right. Good luck, Lady Roxy.

I'll take care of it.

Appearances aside, I'm quite confident in my skills.

Is it over...?

Lady Roxy trusted me with this.

If I run, it'll cause trouble for her!

I can't let him get away!

He's already injured...

Even I can handle this!

It's over...

What in the world was that?

Fate!

Fate, are you all right? Were you hurt?

He doesn't look well. It's worrying...

Is anything wrong?

That was just like... I could hear her inner voice.

Uh, no, I'm not hurt.

I see.

What a relief. I'm so glad.

Again?

I need to report this to my superiors.

Do you understand, Fate?

I can't hear it anymore.

Fate? Are you listening?

Oh, right! You can take credit for all of this, Lady Roxy.

But you slew one yourself, Fate.

If Sir Rafale finds out about it...

It would cause you problems, wouldn't it?

I can't make trouble for her.

I understand, but without you, I would've failed in my duty.

Please, let me show my gratitude.

Oh, that's not necessary.

Let me think...

She's not listening.

I know!

Would you like to work for the Hart family?

Or do you intend to serve the Vlericks until it kills you?

Lady Roxy...

You needn't worry about them.

Your future is yours to decide, Fate.

A future where I'm treated like trash by them...

Or a bright one where I can work for Lady Roxy...

Still, if I quit, then whoever replaces me would...

I told you. Defending the gate is the duty of a holy knight.

Whatever happens, it won't be your responsibility.

If Lady Roxy thinks so, then it's probably true.

It'd be my honor, Lady Roxy.

Wonderful!

What's this?

My stats are in the triple digits now...

How'd that happen?

And what's "Identify"? And "Telepathy"?

He doesn't look well. It's worrying.

Wait, was that Telepathy?

Gluttony has activated.

It actually activated... and what's going on with my body?

But with stats like this, I might be able to beat monsters.

Looking for a sword, sir?

Oh, yes.

What kind of budget are you thinking?

Uh, well...

Great, you're poor.

What a waste of hospitality...

You can't buy a weapon with that kind of chump change.

It's been five years since I came to the royal capital.

These two silver coins are everything I've been able to save up by working...

All you'll be able to afford are those trash weapons in the barrel.

I was curious about this...

Oh, sir!

Well, I guess it's better than nothing.

Identify.

Zero for both durability and strength, huh?

Identify.

This one, too.

And this...

Filthy, and treated like trash.

A lot like me.

Hey, you.

It talked?!

I'm pretty sure this sword just talked.

"Greed. One-handed sword."

I'll make it worth your while, so buy me, Gluttony.

How'd you know about that?

We have a lot in common, you and I.

We do?

This one looks good, too.

You have an eye for quality, sir!

Did you hear the rumors, Rafale?

Roxy is apparently trying to hire Fate for the Hart household

without even asking us!

Let's teach her what happens when you defy the Vlerick family!

There's no shortage of replacements for Fate.

It's not worth the trouble, Memil.

She was complaining about our handling of guard duty, too!

The Harts and the Vlericks are part of the five great families that support the kingdom.

There's no point in complicating that right now.

It's time I head to the military district, anyway.

Again?

What part of your studies has you so enthusiastic?

The study of how to become immortal.

Immortality...?

Oh, Rafale, you don't have to tease me!

"Fate Graphite."

What?

Fate Graphite...

Congratulations, I've learned your name.

Like that's some kind of favor...?

Here they come, Fate.

Gluttony skill has activated. Increasing stats.

Get a load of that.

I guess they were right about "When you see one goblin, there's a hundred more around."

A-A hundred?!

They're coming!

You're probably filled up now, right?

Now that you mention it... my stomach hasn't growled even once today.

That's never happened before.

But I thought you were born with the only skills you'd ever have.

You can thank the Gluttony skill for that.

Normally, your stats increase from battles,

and based on your experience, your level goes up.

But the Gluttony skill steals stats and skills,

at the cost of not benefiting from experience.

That's why I'm still level one, then.

How do you know all this?

Because we're in the same boat.

We are?

Your Gluttony skill isn't the kind of thing you want other people finding out about.

It's one of the skills that defy divine law.

So, I'd better do my fighting alone.

You've got me, don't you?

Now that you're wielding me,

you're not alone anymore, Fate.

So, you accept me as your master?

Whoa, there, let's not get cocky.

But it's the truth, isn't it?

Pipe down!

Well, I guess I'll head back for today.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Collect those goblin ears.

You need to get paid.

Maybe I shouldn't have killed all of them...

Thirty eight goblins earns me three silver and eighty bronze coins.

That's enough for meat with dinner!

Hold it. My maintenance comes first.

Do a proper job and treat me like the gem I am.

For a sword, you've got a real high opinion of yourself.

I didn't get the name Greed on accident!

Yeah, yeah. Meat comes first.

It's been five years since—

Watch where you're going, you dumbass.

Sorry about that.

Help!

Let's go.

What are his skills...?

Vitality

Strength

Agility

Spirit

Magic

The Conceal skill, huh?

That keeps his skills from being visible, even against Identify.

So there's no telling what he could do?

Yeah.

What's your call, Fate?

What do you mean?

I can't just ignore this!

You should be happy!

There's a place even worthless trash like you can serve some purpose.

You're gonna be a toy for the holy knights!

Ain't that great?

Huh?! Huh?!

Hold on. This guy's pretty tough.

This is your last chance to turn back.

I've finally got some kind of power...

You scared?

If someone's suffering in front of me, I want to help them!
