Makoto.

Look, you can see it right there ahead.

So that's Makalan?

I've got a valuable leather jacket!

Vegetables, picked fresh this morning!

I recommend the tomatoes today!

Hello!

How about a mug of beer?

Hurry, quantities are limited!

I've got fresh, cold beer right here!

My life as an adventurer is finally beginning.

Crossing an entire other world "with a goddess no one believes in...

"Makoto Takatsuki takes on a challenge."

...Exc-excuse me.

How can I help you?

I'd like to register as an adventurer.

Good evening!

So this is your first time with us.

Do you have your soul book with you?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

I'll check it right now.

I'm weak, and my stats are average.

I already know that.

It seems you need more training first.

Perhaps next time.

What?

There's no problem here.

Each adventurer is assigned a specific rank.

You'll start at the Stone rank.

Alright.

That's fine.

We'll issue you a guild card.

It'll take a few hours to prepare. Is that all right with you?

So please come back to us again.

It'll be ready by this evening.

I look forward to working with you!

I'm so glad it didn't get caught on anything.

Looks like this is the place.

Welcome!

Are you an adventurer, sir?

We have a lot of great goods. Let me show them to you.

Excuse me, is the shop owner, Mr. Fujiwara, here?

Wait, are you a merchant?

No, no. I'm a friend of his.

I can note down the details of your business proposal.

My name is Makoto Takatsuki.

There's a man named Takatsuki asking to see you!

What did you say?

Boss!

Please wait a moment!

Thanks for the meal.

Fujiyan! It's been ages!

Yes! It's Taki-dono!

I'm glad you liked it.

It was delicious.

This place, the Cat Girl Bar, is one I highly recommend.

Besides, that clerk at your shop was cute, and she had bunny ears too.

Isn't the reason just that you love catgirls?

I didn't choose her because of her looks.

You mean Nina-dono?

You're achieving tremendous success in life.

Really?

You have your own shop.

I'm serious!

It's truly amazing.

When I raised my proficiency in the Visual Novel Player skill,

I gained the ability to read other people's thoughts.

And this skill has proven enormously useful in negotiations and business deals.

Really? Does that mean you can read minds?

I've become a follower of one of the goddesses.

Could you check it and evaluate it for me?

Really?

Of course! Leave it to me.

And she gave me this.

...Alright, let me see.

A simple design, but beautifully ornate.

The blade looks like it's made of mithril, but it's a metal I've never seen before.

W-wait!

What?

...Okay.

What? What?

It's been enchanted to block any appraisal or evaluation.

It's no use, it's no use!

I've honed my appraisal skill to the absolute maximum!

What?

Even so, this is exceptional quality. I've never seen anything like it.

What?

T-this knife is amazing!

This material, saturated with magical energy, is the legendary metal, adamantite!

It has durability rivaling that of the gods!

No!

Rivaling the gods?

The goddess also used her power to imbue it with various abilities.

Many of them I've never even heard of!

This is without a doubt the strongest weapon I've ever seen in my life!

Incredible.

She gave me something this amazing?

I'll give you this instead.

...But this one

But I won't forgive you if you lose it!

is called the "Evil Goddess Dagger Nua."

An evil goddess?

Damn it!

What does this world even mean by "evil god" in the first place?

What...? Wait.

...As far as I recall, the legends say

...About that.

That evil gods are ancient gods who once ruled the divine realm.

And in the War of the Giants, a war fought among the gods, the holy gods managed to defeat them.

They gave them the name evil gods.

And I thought I'd finally gotten my first special advantage since coming to this world.

They're still sealed away somewhere, locked up.

What a shame.

I'll probably have to ask her about this evil gods business.

By the way, there are rumors going around.

That six of the seven priestesses of the gods

have been receiving visions that the Great Demon King will return to life in a few years.

Try not to do anything reckless.

Some even claim we were summoned to this world

Oh no.

That's a very common scenario in games, isn't it?

to prepare for the battle against him.

Isn't it?

By the way, Takki-dono, what are your plans after this?

I plan to keep training as an adventurer for a while.

How about forming a party with me to explore one of the dungeons?

I appreciate your offer,

I understand.

but I'd like to work on my own for a while.

After all, the essence of a player's life lies in solo play.

Still, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you run into any trouble.

You're now registered with our guild.

Yes, thank you.

I'll take on my first quest tomorrow.

I hope you do your best.

Understood!

I'll do it.

What are you doing, goddess?

No, Nua?

So, you're an evil goddess?

Yes.

That's your name, right?

It's annoying to talk to you when you're begging like this.

For now, please lift your head.

So, you'll stay with me as my follower, then?

That sounds like fraud.

I just didn't mention it.

What's with the silence?!

I didn't mean to deceive you!

I'm sorry!

I'm still a goddess!

It's not fraud!

But you're one of the ancient gods who lost the war, aren't you?

Calling me ancient is a bit rude.

I was one of the youngest giants.

I'm weak, and I've been labeled an evil goddess.

Please, find another follower.

Don't make it sound so simple!

So it took a thousand years just to get a single follower!

I can't! I can't! I can't!

Yes, but you were so careless that you let this dagger reveal that you're an evil goddess.

You're wrong!

It shouldn't have shown up when using an ordinary appraisal skill!

I-I...

So you really were trying to deceive me.

What? No...

Either way, I'm still a goddess.

Only the holy gods would call me an evil goddess.

I'm still your follower.

Nua.

Makoto, you're my very, very dear follower!

What? R-really?

Yes.

You seem very calm.

You're starting to seem suspicious with all this exaggeration.

Goodness, that skill of yours is really annoying.

By the way, do you have any new instructions for me?

Why did you want a holy message so badly?

Just meeting a goddess and getting a dagger is a bit disappointing.

Like defeating the Demon King.

In most cases, they ask for something unreasonable.

...Alright.

That's a common trope in RPGs.

What if I asked you to come rescue me?

That's a classic event scenario!

That's exactly what I was hoping for!

So, where are you?

in a maze.

...Well, I'm

The Seabed Temple, said to be at the deepest depths of this world's oceans.

It's a tough, fortified dungeon that no human has reached yet.

Hearing that it's a challenge just makes me more excited!

So do you want to back out?

I'll come to you.

Right, you never give up, do you?

I'll rescue you as a thank-you for the dagger.

As for the dagger, it was my way of thanking you for becoming one of my followers.

As I said before, make sure you never forget your daily prayers.

But that's fine.

You'll get rewards for still believing in me.

I promise good things will happen.

That sounds like a login bonus in those pay-to-win phone games.

Something like that. Alright, I'll wait patiently for you.

If you free me,

I'll do anything you ask!

Crossing an entire other world with a goddess no one believes in.

Does that goddess think she can just say anything she likes to get to me?

She's really getting carried away.

Alright, if you're looking for your first quest, it's over there...

"Hunt three horned rabbits."

"Deliver goods to Great Keith by cart."

"Deliver goods to Highland by cart."

Excuse me... are there any quests that involve defeating monsters?

What?

...And also...

Then I think these quests are the most suitable for you to start with.

You're working alone, aren't you?

Got it.

Then I'll pick the Horned Rabbit hunting quest.

All right, I'll register your name for this quest.

By the way, if you come across any goblins or orcs,

There's an open quest to take them down,

please report them.

Really?

so you'll get a reward if someone defeats them.

All right, good luck.

No, that's fine.

Do you have any questions?

They're monsters even common folk can defeat.

The horned rabbits I hunt are Rank 0.

There's one!

Water Magic: Ice Arrow!

I knew it.

My magic is so weak I can't even finish it off.

I'm sorry!

I've caught three now.

I think I'll keep hunting for a bit longer.

I've successfully completed my first quest.

What?

Are those goblins?

There are a lot of them.

I've defeated goblins before.

...If I take out the one that's working alone,

"Will you fight the goblins?" "Yes" "No"

I'll give it a try.

What? You're going to do that?

Sneak!

Freeze!

Great! I can do this!

What?

Yes.

Oh my god, don't be so reckless.

You defeated five goblins?

All by yourself?

...Right.

You could have gotten hurt.

No, on my own.

What? Ten of them?

That's impossible, right?

No novice mage could do that alone!

Did you team up with other adventurers to take them down?

No way!

Didn't I tell you not to be reckless?

Twenty?

Wow, well done!

So you're the rookie everyone's been talking about?

You took down thirty of them in one go, Makoto!

Do your best out there.

Yeah, I think so.

I knew you were a capable kid, Makoto!

I knew it!

Hey, man, exactly how much do you love hunting goblins?

Hey there, goblin cleaner!

Stop, don't call him nasty names like that.

Don't mind what they say.

I wish I had a slightly cooler title.

Boss! Here are the horned rabbits you asked for.

Alright, thanks for your constant help!

This one's on the house, in appreciation for all your big help to us.

What will you order today?

Then I'll have the grilled platter and an apple soda.

By the way, what level are you now?

I think it's level 14.

Coming right up.

Mr. Lucas.

Excuse me!

Since you've reached level 14, you're now a fully capable adventurer.

I was out hunting sand dragons,

The reward was good, but the job was disgusting.

Sounds like it was a rough stretch.

and I haven't had a single drop of liquor for the past three days.

You're right.

Isn't it about time you took on Dimas's bronze-rank challenge?

Newcomers need to put in more effort, and be more consistent about it.

Well, I plan to do that as soon as I reach level 20.

You all seem to be having a good time.

Come on, you're gold rank, say something to him.

...Fine.

Alright, cheers to you all!

Right away.

Bring me a beer, and some fresh vegetables.

One more!

Slow down on the drinking.

Nothing beats a good drink after work!

Makoto, you've achieved a lot today,

I'm the man who resisted a goddess's temptation.

so drink until you're satisfied!

Clear-headed!

Come on, come on!

Mary, you're getting too close.

This is nothing for me.

Drink, drink some more!

I'm not embarrassed.

Damn that bastard!

You're really cute.

Stupid goblin cleaner.

What are you embarrassed about?

I defeated thirty more goblins today!

Great job! Great job!

Please, stop!

What's this, Jan?

Goblin hunting isn't anything special.

You too, Lucas?

Makoto is a good kid, so don't pick a fight with him.

You two need to get along as junior colleagues.

but once you reach bronze, I treat you like grown men.

Why haven't you offered to train me anymore?

I look after everyone while they're at stone rank,

Next up, we're going on a monster hunt!

Did you hear that, Lucas?

Really?

Got it.

What's the target?

Good luck!

A stray ghoul.

That's a necessary step to advance to iron rank.

Yes! You can count on us!

Don't worry about him.

I'm fine, he didn't bother me at all.

I'll keep going at my own slow pace.

I don't think killing a group of goblins every day counts as a slow pace.

But for me, that's a very easy job.

That's twenty goblins for today.

Now I'll catch some horned rabbits to bring back to the boss's tavern.

Is this... a stray ghoul?

Retreating would be the best option.

It's close!

What?

Is there another monster nearby?

What?!

Windcutter!

That ghoul is enormous!

What is that thing?

Let's get out of here!

It's very dangerous!

Quickly!

"Will you save the girl?" "Yes" "No"

Thanks for the advice.

This is bad!

You can leave her.

No!

No!

Lucy!

I can't possibly leave her.

...But

Water Magic: Ice Arrow!

This is your chance! Run!

O-okay!

Hey! Why are you trying to play the hero?

I'm at the age where I want to show off a little.

I won't forgive you if you die, understand?

I knew ghouls could regenerate their bodies,

but I never imagined the process would be this fast.

See?! What are you going to do now?

Hey, I'm right here!

What?!

It's fast!

Dodge!

Move!

Water Magic: Walk on Water!

Good!

Listen! I'm here!

The river gets very deep past that point.

I'm sorry.

Now!

Water Magic: Torrent!

It worked.

You!

Are you all right?

Yes!

I just defeated it.

Really?!

I want to take the ghoul's head with me. Can you help me with that?

...Listen.

You're welcome!

Our new and promising member, Makoto...

has defeated a huge ogre!

Hold on!

Everyone, listen up!

Yes!

From now on, I won't let you keep calling him Goblin Cleaner.

Right!

That means we need a new title for him.

How about Ghoul Slayer?

I don't think I need any more titles.

I'm just glad things turned out all right.

Hey, do you mind if I join you?
