Someone, help!

Anyone!

Please, save us!

All right, boys, well done.

Sorry, but these orcs all work for me!

No one is coming to help you!

Some of you are pretty fine...

Time to sample the goods before selling you off...

Hello again. It's me, Arc.

I had intended to live a

low-profile life of adventure after coming to this fantasy world...

Who the hell are—

Armor Lariat!

Armor Lariat!!

For whatever reason, it's not working out.

And that, my friends, was all too easy!

What do you think you're doing, Arc?!

We've finally found you, Sir Arc.

Oh, Lady Ariane, Lady Chiyome, and Ponta.

Fire, I implore you. Light this sword ablaze!

Body to water, Liquid Wolf Fang!

They're both so talented. I had better join in!

The lightning element area of effect spell...

Lightning Damper!

Lightning Damper

Wh-Whoa, careful, Arc!

Lightning Defense Charm

And that, my friends, was all too easy!

It wasn't easy!

How is this your idea of avoiding attention?!

The silver dark knight and...

...the dark elf terror?

What in the world is this?!

Ahh, I can feel it in my bones, Ponta.

We're here to put an end to your crimes!

Drop your weapons and surrender!

There's no escaping!

Give it up!

We're so grateful that you saved the girls.

It's not much, but we want to thank you.

Go on, don't be shy. Enjoy yourselves.

Well, that's quite gracious of you. If you don't mind...

Wait, Arc!

Come now, it's fine. They already went to the trouble of preparing a feast.

It does look delicious.

It's our local specialty; we take armored mountain crab, and fry it up.

You're sure about this? You want to eat in front of everyone?

Oh, no! This incredible spread made me careless!

We've also got a bathhouse, if you'd like to use it.

And it's a hot spring?

Correct. The local inns all share it.

We're probably the only place in the region with a bathhouse.

It's the pride of our town.

I see.

In that case, I believe I'll bathe first.

Could you bring my food to my room?

Sir Knight, may I wash your back?

N-No, that's all right!

I advise no one approaching the baths until I'm out!

I mean it!

Now... uh, where are they?

I'll show you the way.

I wonder if something is bothering Sir Knight...

He's just easily embarrassed.

That's right.

This is yummy, too.

Here, try this.

Thank you.

Eat lots, okay?

Um... are we not unusual to you?

Well, there aren't many elves or beastmen in these parts, so I suppose you are.

Oh, right! But it seems like you're not so different from the rest of us.

I suppose there are all types.

Ahh, I can feel it in my bones, Ponta.

I guess Arc is still in there.

He does enjoy his bath time.

Looks like the ladies are here, now.

Hey, Lady Ariane!

What? And stop yelling.

Nooo—

W-Wait!

What is wrong with you? How could you mistake the men's and women's baths?!

Honestly.

I-I have no excuse...

Besides, I thought you were after the spring that could break the curse,

so you'd look human again.

Do you really have time for a hot springs trip?

We're actually headed in the opposite direction of

the Wind Dragon Mountains, where the spring is supposed to be.

It's because Arc insists on all these detours...

What would you have me do? I can't just ignore people in need.

Which includes walking old women all the way home,

wiping out bandits who steal treasure,

saving children who are captured by traffickers...

And somehow, it's led us to this town.

Granted, that's part of what's so nice about Sir Arc.

I'm sorry we're dragging you all over the place, Chiyome.

That's right, the spring is supposed to be

near a lost Jinshin Clan location, right?

Yes. It's said to be a legendary place

where the clan's founder, the original Hanzo, lived.

Let's not forget that finding it is Chiyome's mission.

All of these side trips are causing her trouble.

Right you are. And I am sorry.

I must say, Lady Ariane, you have such long, pretty legs.

And smooth skin.

Whoa, Chiyome, what are you doing?!

Fine, payback time!

I suppose taking the direct path, with no detours, is in order.

Right, Ponta?

Yeah. That'll make keeping the fields watered so much easier!

What do you suppose is wrong?

This village has definitely been strange since we arrived.

It's almost as if they're avoiding us.

Hurry! Get over here!

What's wrong? You all right there, lad?

Please, spare my son!

What's the meaning of this?

Oh, he's bleeding.

Let's see...

Heal

Heal.

That should do it.

It doesn't hurt! Thank you!

Oh, no thanks are necessary.

U-Um, then you people aren't the silver dark knight and the dark elf terror?

The silver dark knight and...

...the dark elf terror?

What in the world is this?!

This knight and elf have been on a kidnapping spree, lately.

Do you suppose they're trying to impersonate you two?

Impostors? And after I've tried to be so inconspicuous...

it seems fame has found me anyway.

Stop being impressed!

I'm not letting someone get away with impersonating me.

The plan was to head straight for the spring,

but I'm afraid that's not an option anymore, eh, Ponta?

So, where can we find them?

Isn't it great that Princess Yuriarna freed everyone, Miss Ariane?

That stern look of yours will alert our quarry.

Try to act natural.

G-Good point.

You're so right! Princess Yuriarna of the Rhoden Kingdom

liberating and providing refuge to the elves

means those of us who were captured are finally free!

That was too long, too stilted, and too expository.

Wh-What do you want from me?! I've never acted before...

Pretend not to have noticed.

We beastmen were able to get away in the commotion, too.

But it's so far to my village! How am I supposed to get home?

Chiyome? Weren't we going to take them down?

There are other captives. Let's have them take us to their lair.

Help! Save us!

They might not match the real deal, but they're better than I figured.

P-Please, have mercy! Spare our lives! Don't kill us!

You are a really good actress, Chiyome.

Well, I'm a shinobi.

You should say something too, Lady Ariane.

Have mercy! Don't kill us!

An elf and a beastman? Looks like we hit the jackpot.

Only two of them, though?

Well, we've raised a lot of hell around these parts.

People are being careful and avoiding the spots we target.

Let's get a move on. The boss is waiting.

Get a load of the elf's tits.

Fantastic!

She's got such a naughty little outfit on, too.

Is she asking for it?

Restrain yourself.

Man, I love me the smell of some females!

The boss is gonna let you have it if you fool around with the merchandise.

Restraint.

Man, these things seriously make me sweat.

Come on, man, keep your face covered up.

Going by just your legs, you make for a decent woman.

That's on account of the lack of leg hair.

I might have finer legs than a real chick!

R-Restraint! Please!

Episode 1

Duel to the Death? Silver Knight VS Silver Knight!

The Grand Duchy of Limbult

Yuriarna, are you certain about going to see Sekt?

I am, Seriarna.

Will you be all right? Isn't he dangerous?

I have the backing of the elves' High Elder, Fangas.

I'm sure our brother won't try anything.

It'll be a chance to discover his plans.

Sit!

So, this is today's haul?

Yessir.

The messenger should be showing up soon.

This should be more than enough merch for him.

We caught some fine ones, today. A beastman and an elf.

A beastman and an elf, huh?

Y-You two?!

It's that pervert lord's idiot son!

Wh-Who are you two?!

A silver knight and a lady elf?!

No way!

The real ones?!

Lady Ariane!

You're late!

Well, I'd say this counts as a successful infiltration of the slaver's lair.

And... is that supposed to be the one who's impersonating me?

Ponta, do you see any resemblance?

And wasn't there supposed to be someone impersonating Lady Ariane?

Don't ask about it!

Wh-What are you doing?!

Get them! Now!

Right!

Lady Chiyome! Lady Ariane!

Right!

Let's show them who they're dealing with!

You bitch!

What a waste. If you had behaved, I could've taken real good care of you.

What?!

Fire, I implore you. Light this sword ablaze, and pierce through my foe!

You were talking about how your legs looked compared to mine?

Not bad at all.

Still don't see the resemblance, though.

Allow me to demonstrate the original's power.

Wyvern Slash!

Wyvern Slash

Hold it right there!

Chiyome, look after the captives.

Understood!

Arc! We're going after him!

Indeed!

You're going to be all right.

Come, let's get out of here!

There he is!

You haven't learned your lesson, have you, rich boy?

Rich boy...?

Oh, I was wondering where I recognized him from!

I'm not the same man I was before.

I lured you two here so that I could deal with you!

What?

What's wrong, Ponta?

Come forth, my army of monsters!

Wait! Are those...?

Goblins!

They really are goblins!

And there's a goblin lord among them!

Now that's fantastical!

Goblin

Goblins. They live in groups, in forests and caves,

with a strong reproductive instinct,

often kidnapping human women and having them bear their children.

Not particularly strong on an individual level, but violent!

And dangerous when attacking in numbers.

You have a very specific kind of knowledge, don't you?

Today's the day I avenge my Papa!

Get them! Kill them both!

I suppose this is no time to fascinated.

There're so many! How is this stupid rich boy able to control goblins?!

Like I said, I'm not the same man I was before!

Not with the power I have now!

Take this!

I'm sorry!

There's no end to them!

This must be the leader of the pack.

There!

Here is a mid-level area of effect spell...

Rock Fang!

Rock Fang

W-Wait, if you use terrain magic inside a place like this—

O-Oh dear!

Holy Blessing

We made it.

And that, my friends, was all too easy.

It wasn't easy at all!

Go on, march!

From what I could get out of him, there are foreign merchants

who've been buying humans, elves, and beastmen at a higher price than usual.

Where could they be from?

He didn't know.

And how was he able to control goblins like that?

It shouldn't be possible for a normal person to have sway over monsters.

It seems this foreign merchant provided the goblins, too.

The rich boy didn't control them with magic, but they listened to his orders.

Come to think of it, the man who was attacking those girls, at the inn town,

was controlling some orcs.

There may be a connection there.

Now, be on your way.

Get to work... in the name of God.

I'll head back to my village and see if I can learn anything.

Please do, Chiyome.

Well, that was another detour,

so I suppose we'll resume our trip to the Wind Dragon Mountains,

for the spring said to break curses.

Say, Arc...

Since we're already this far out of the way...

there's somewhere I'd like to make a stop.

There is?
