Oh!

I can see it now!

That's the capital of the Holy Country of Millis: Millishion!

Oh!

Well then,

this is where I say goodbye.

Huh? In a place like this?

Stay until we get inside--

Don't let it get to you, boss. I'll see you again.

Geese! Next time I see you, teach me to cook!

You never quit. Why do you want to learn so badly?

W-Well...

What's this, Eris? What are you trying to say?

Come on. Spell it out for me.

Well, stay safe, big man.

You, too. Don't do too much mischief.

I know, I know.

Oh, I almost forgot, boss: Remember to visit the adventurers' guild.

A-All right.

See you!

Now then,

I hereby begin this Team Dead End strategy meeting.

Everyone clap.

Now, it's been a year and a half since we were teleported to the Demon Continent,

but we've finally, finally made it back to human territory.

We'll keep straight on to Asura!

Or so I'd like to say, but I'd prefer to stay here for a while and earn money.

Why?

I've heard that jobs in Millis pay well.

It will be more efficient to earn all our funds here.

Besides, we don't know how much the next boat will cost.

What? Do we have to take another boat?

Besides, I've come up with a good plan,

so I'd like to work on improving the Superd's reputation at the same time.

After we help someone, we'll reveal Ruijerd's identity to them.

Then, we'll give them one of these as a charm.

You know, "If you have this, even a Superd will relax in no time."

"In a few minutes, they'll be like a soul brother you've known for a century."

You've been making these?

I know! Let's make tomorrow a day off!

Is something wrong?

I'd like to mass-produce this Ruijerd figure

and write a letter while I'm at it.

A letter?

Yes. A letter to let everyone know we're safe.

Things have been so hectic that I forgot, but my family must be worried.

I should get in touch.

They can't complain in this situation.

What will the two of you do?

I'm going to go goblin slaying!

I hear they show up around here!

Goblin slaying?

Rudeus. It's fine. Let her give it a try.

Huh? But...

I see. Well, If Ruijerd is fine with it--

I can handle goblins on my own!

Those just sound like famous last words.

W-Well, in that case, let's each take some free time tomorrow.

Very well!

Fine.

I'm counting on you to keep Eris safe, Ruijerd!

Come to think of it, this is the first time I've written to Paul.

I wonder if he'll believe that I made friends with a Superd

and got a demon eye from the Great Emperor of the Demon World.

Move it!

Oh, no. Another kidnapping.

This world really is full of kidnappers.

To be honest, I'd rather stay out of this.

I got locked up on false charges just the other day.

Good grief.

Rule No. 1 of Dead End: Never abandon a child.

Rule No. 2: Absolutely never abandon a child.

Dead End stands for justice.

That's how we'll clear the Superds' name little by little.

We're not being followed, are we?

No.

Are you okay?

Y-Yeah.

Hey, call the leader.

Got it.

So, there are more of them.

Now, how should I save that kid?

I don't know how strong they are.

Jumping out and starting a fight would be risky.

I guess I'll hide and wait for a while.

I'm begging you, hold off on the violence.

Still, what is this place? A church?

It doesn't look like it's in use as one.

Hmm... Cloth.

It's a bit small for clothing.

Still, touching it is strangely soothing.

I recognize this texture. This shape.

Yeah. There are two holes in it here and...

Wait, these are panties!

Who's there?!

O-Oh no!

Inside the crate?!

Show yourself!

Damn! What cowards would lay a trap like this?!

It's an intruder! Call for backup!

I've got no choice.

You who snatch the young from their guardians

and make them prey to your twisted lusts!

Be ashamed of yourselves!

People call what you do...

...kidnapping!

What the hell are you wearing?

Wh-Who are you?!

I am Ruijerd of Dead End!

What?! Dead End?!

I'm so sorry, Ruijerd! But I am going to save the kid!

--Hey, brat. Go play hero somewhere else.

--Sunrise Attack! --Hey, brat. Go play hero somewhere else.

--Sunrise Attack! --We're--

Are you hurt, boy?!

Huh? This kid seems familiar.

Whoa! What happened?!

Watch out.

He's young, but he's good.

Those are my...!

I'm sorry, Ruijerd! I'm really sorry!

Slurp, slurp.

Enemy of all women!

Get him!

O-Oh, no! I can't look away!

--I call a refreshing, burbling stream here and now. Water Ball!

--Right, left... Oh, they're incredible! --I call a refreshing, burbling stream here and now. Water Ball!

I can almost see!

That was close.

Stop scurrying around like a cockroach, you deviant!

Is the leader here yet?!

Hey. Sorry I kept you waiting.

What? He's just some drunk.

You're really running wild, you bastard.

I hope you're ready for what you've got coming.

Huh?

I feel like I know this guy from somewhere, too.

Something about him is familiar.

This jackass fights like he does.

What is he, a dog?!

This guy...

...is on another level from the other punks.

Oh, no!

Rudy?

Huh?

There's only one man who calls me that nickname.

Yes, only one man.

And in this world, he's my one and only...

Father?

Ru...

Rudy?

Father. It's been such a long time.

Well, I guess...

Rudy,

I'm amazed you survived.

Yes, well...

So, what brings you here, Father?

What do you mean? You must've seen my message.

What message?

Wait, what's he talking about?

I don't remember seeing any message.

So, Rudy, what have you been doing all this time?

What have I been doing? Well, it hasn't been easy.

The disaster in Roa was a year and a half ago.

I had so much to tell him.

Part 1: my meeting with my kindred spirit, Ruijerd,

and the mayhem in the city of Rikarisu.

Part 2: the great mage, Rudeus, with his sidekicks, Eris and Ruijerd,

crosses the Demon Continent, righting wrongs.

Part 3: captured in a cowardly trap by beast people,

I become a prisoner in desperate straits.

That was the gist of my 100% nonfiction spectacular.

I'll leave out the Man-God.

He is a pretty shady character.

Still, in retrospect, it was a pretty fun trip.

Then, when we arrived in Wind Port, what met our eyes was--

That's enough.

Huh?

You've made it clear that you've been

goofing off for the past year and change.

I had a hard time, too, you know?

The way you tell it sure doesn't make it sound that way.

That's just because of how I told the story.

I realize I may have gotten a little carried away, but...

Tell me, while you were on the Demon Continent,

why didn't you try to learn about other victims of the disaster?

Why didn't I?

I've got no answer to that question.

The only explanation I can give is...

I... didn't think of it.

I mean, I had a lot on my plate.

You had time to help some demon you'd never met before,

but you had none to worry about the other people who got teleported?

You can accuse me of getting my priorities wrong, and maybe I did,

but at the time, it really did just slip my mind.

I couldn't help it.

You didn't look for anyone. You didn't write.

You went adventuring with a cute rich girl like you were on vacation.

You even had a powerful bodyguard on hand.

And then what?

The first thing you do in Millishion is put panties on your head and play hero?

I had no idea where I was or what I was doing,

but I thought I had to at least keep Eris safe.

So what if I couldn't think of everything?

I'm not blaming you.

Then why are you being so hostile?!

Eris is Philip's girl, right?

Yes, of course she is.

She must be a good-looking young lady.

Did you not write because

you were worried extra guards would get in the way of your little love affair?

I told you! I didn't write because I just didn't think of it!

Leader! Don't you think that's enough?

He is still a child.

This is a family problem. Stay out of it.

But--

You have no right to lecture me about women, Father.

What?

Who is that woman?

Do Mother and Lilia know you're hanging around with pretty women like her?

No, they don't.

How could they?

Then you can be as unfaithful as you like.

I see you've got her quite provocatively dressed.

I bet I can expect a new little brother or sister any day--

Stop spouting bullshit, Rudy!

You made it here, so you must have been through Zant Port!

What does that matter?!

Then you have to know!

I'm telling you I don't!

--What?

--Was that magic?! --What?

You little--

I've been doing everything I can, too!

I got teleported to a strange place!

I didn't know anyone there!

And somehow, I still managed to make it here!

Why do you have to blame me for it?!

I know that you could have done better!

I can't!

Damn it! What's that look for?!

You never used to look at me like that.

Damn it. Damn it!

Stop it!

That's enough!

Norn?

D-Do you remember me? I'm your--

Don't bully my dad!

Bullying? I'm bullying him?

But, I mean...

What's that supposed to mean?

Forget it.

I'm leaving.

I didn't see anything,

and I didn't do anything.

I'll go back to the inn and wait for Eris and Ruijerd.

Then, we'll leave right away. Tomorrow or the day after.

You're not the only one who got teleported.

Everyone in Buena Village got caught in the disaster.

What did you just say?

I left a message at the adventurers' guild in Zant Port.

You're an adventurer now, right?

Why didn't you read it?!

A lot of people died while you were taking it easy on the road!

The teleportation disaster. Why didn't I think of that?

Why was I so sure that Buena Village was fine?

I see. Everyone went missing.

Does that mean Sylphie is missing, too?!

Are you more worried about your girlfriend than your own mother?

M-Mother hasn't been found either?!

No. I haven't found a trace of her! Or of Lilia! Or Aisha!

We formed this search and rescue squad

to look for everyone who got teleported.

Wh-Why would a search and rescue squad kidnap people?

Some of them have been enslaved.

Enslaved?

People got teleported without warning and had no idea where they were.

Then, they got tricked and enslaved!

That happened to a lot of people!

Of course!

That was one of the kids who used to bully Sylphie!

I was sure you'd have realized and started doing something ages ago.

But you were adventuring without a care in the world.

Okay.

We'll talk again tomorrow.

I mean, it's not like this is our first fight.

We can talk it out.

I'll get Paul to calm down, then we can plan our next moves.

Yeah. The first step is to see Paul and...

To see Paul...

I'm back, Rudeus!

Listen to this!

Once I was done slaying goblins...

Who was it?! Who did this to you?!

It's nothing.

It can't be nothing!

What happened?

My father is in this city.

Huh?

Did he say something you didn't like?

Why?! You haven't seen each other in so long!

Well...

I'll murder him!

Let go of me!

Stay out of family squabbles.

Rudeus has been working so hard, and now he's so miserable!

His father should be ashamed!

If he's miserable, then you should comfort him.

Wha--?!

It's all right.

I'm... here for you.

I'm sorry, Rudeus.

I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

I don't mind.

Thank you, Eris.
