That girl will bring misfortune to this village.

Those with no stars should not be allowed to exist in this world.

On a Journey Alone

All right.

All they found was the hiding place closest to the village.

What?

You're asking if it's difficult?

Not after everything else. I gave up on happiness long ago.

I'm an unwanted child.

I was cast aside.

Which is why I...

I'm casting the village aside, too!

If only I had skills like everyone else does.

Like running or escaping or hiding!

Oh, but if I'd had skills, none of this would have happened in the first place, right?

What? "If I complain about the way I was born, nothing will ever start for me"?

Did I experience something like this in a past life, too?

Oh, it's a dumping ground!

Is there anything good in here?

Anything good...

Oh! Clothing!

This is...

a map! That might make my journey a little easier.

This color. It's probably a blue potion.

The color has changed quite a bit, but it might still be usable.

I need all of these clothes.

I'm an unwanted child.

An unwanted child living on trash no one wants anymore.

Oh, the irony.

This is perfect. It's about time to feed the slimes.

That person's a tamer.

Huh? You're asking if I think the slimes are cute?

Why would my past life want to think of monsters as cute?

She's got a child's legs. She can't have gotten very far.

The problem is figuring out which way she ran,

but it's very likely that she went to the nearest village, Latoff.

Then she should be around here somewhere,

this Femicia girl.

And the head of Latomi Village is making too much of this.

Putting a bounty on a little girl?

And he said dead or alive makes no difference.

The village head... intends to kill me.

Slimes?

No!

They are not cute. I hate this!

"The forest is dangerous because of all the monsters"? I know that!

I'm saved.

It's old, so one isn't enough.

"They're not just not cute, they're scary"? Well, they are monsters.

I don't know. Is my past life talking about some other kind of slimes?

It healed.

They probably won't chase me anymore, right?

Oh, how beautiful.

It feels so good!

I've never done anything like this before.

I've lived my whole life in hiding, so I've always...

I won't hesitate. I'll be bold and resolute.

That's right. It's what I always intended to do.

And the fortune teller said so, too.

She said to disguise myself as a boy when I travel because it'll be less dangerous.

"A girl traveling alone is just a sitting duck." What does that mean?

I'll have to change my name, too.

The name my father gave me, Femicia...

I'll cast it aside.

What name should I choose?

Ivy?

What's that?

"The name of a plant that thrives even if you step on it"?

Ivy...

This is who I am from now on. Ivy.

I wonder what will happen to me.

"There's no point in worrying about the future."

But everyone else has more of a purpose than I do.

The person I am now has nothing.

Yes, having nothing is easier.

How cute!

This isn't it either. Maybe it isn't in the monster compendium?

There!

A rare slime with no name.

So, you don't have a name, little one?

It's called "the weakest slime," or "the disintegrating slime."

I see.

So you're the weakest of your kind, just like me!

But I don't want to call you "the weakest."

Maybe I'll call you the disintegrating slime.

My, you really are weak, aren't you?

Could it be that you can't get back up?

"This slime is so weak that it can disappear with just a poke."

"If the wind blows too hard, it will disappear."

What? It's that weak?

What should I do? Is it all right to touch it?

If I set it upright, will it be all right?

It's right side up!

I'm so glad!

Let's see. This slime...

"Because the slime is so weak, lifespans under a day have been confirmed."

You're going to disappear within a day?

"As they are rarely encountered, and because their lives are so short,"

"they've hardly been studied at all and most everything about them remains unknown."

But that's just...

Oh no!

It's safe.

Someone needs to protect you.

Don't you think?

Or do you not want that?

I don't understand.

I don't understand, but I'll be a windbreak for you.

If you're destined to disappear within a day,

then let's stay together until that happens.

The gods don't play fair, do they?

They create people who are happy, but they make people like us, too.

You see, the humans here in Ordoguz,

they all receive skills when they turn five years old.

My father has two-star carpentry and processing skills.

My mother has a two-star needlework skill and a one-star mending skill.

No one knows what skills they'll receive,

and the number of stars the skill has is up to the gods, too.

Everyone's futures are decided by those skills and the number of stars.

When I turned five, I received a skill, too. A taming skill.

It's the ability to tame monsters and win them over.

But it's a starless skill.

That's right. I'm a starless tamer.

Forget about monsters, I can't even tame small animals.

When they found out I was starless, everyone's attitudes toward me changed.

Even my kind father and mother...

they stopped even looking at me.

My food and my home, all of it was gone.

The place I belonged was gone.

But I do have one thing that other people don't have.

Memories of my past life.

Apparently, I'm a human who reincarnated here from a different world.

They're hazy, but I have memories of that past life.

They pretty much never prove useful though.

They'll just suddenly whisper something that I can't understand.

Huh? "Sometimes the things I say are useful"?

And there was someone who was kind to me.

The fortune teller.

She gave me lots of different books and taught me lots of different things.

This magic bag was given to me by that fortune teller, too!

It's an older model, so it doesn't perform very well,

but it can hold lots of stuff and everything inside gets lighter, so it's really handy.

It helped me survive in the forest.

The fortune teller died recently.

I've really lost everyone.

There isn't anyone who will look at me now.

The people from the village are trying to kill me.

The village head, and my father... everyone.

Even though I didn't do anything.

Even though I can't do anything.

It's all because I was born starless.

It's because I can't do anything.

Is being starless really that bad?

Is it really something that should be hated so much?

Is this world saying that it doesn't want me?

And you, little one, were born with the fate of disappearing within a day.

This world isn't fair, is it?

Right?

It's not?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know, but I'm glad to have met you.

I don't know, but it's all right to feel this way, isn't it?

Yes. You're my very first friend!

So, let's stay together until the very end!

Where... Where are you?

Little one...

Where did you go?

It can't be...

If the world says it doesn't want you...

is there nothing you can do about it?

"Lonely"?

I suppose I am. I thought I was used to it, though.

That's right. I'm used to this.

I'm not lonely.

I was alone to begin with.

I'll do what the fortune teller told me to do and head for the royal capital.

I managed to get my hands on a map, after all.

It's you!

You're alive! You didn't disappear!

So, disappearing within a day was a lie, wasn't it?

If it's a lie, then...

There it is.

"When taming a monster,"

"first pass a little magical energy to the monster."

"If the monster accepts it, a glow will appear."

"Name the monster while it's in that state."

"If successful, a mark showing that it's tamed will appear on the monster."

I'm a starless tamer.

Can I really do this?

Can I do this?

When I'm alone, I can breathe

In a world with no one but me, I feel at ease

But I think the truth is

That I've been waiting for morning's light to break through

(Where could it be?)

Beyond the edges of a yet unknown map

Did I do it?

I have to give it a name.

That's where I'll find a place where I can live

(If it exists...)

It's a blue color, so... Ao? Or, Blue?

I'd like to go there

And with trembling legs, I take a step forward

Blue sky...

I'm on a journey without end

That's it!

I'll take everything I feel

Your name is Sora! It means sky!

And pack it into my once empty bag

I'll go as far as I need to

On this journey to find myself

And everything I'm given along the way

Will slowly fill my heart to the brim

It worked!

Your name is Sora.

Now, I'm not all alone anymore

My name is...

Because I've met new, dear friends

That's right. I'm not Femicia anymore.

(Maybe we can understand each other because we're alike. Isn't it strange?)

I cast aside that name along with that village.

The name of a plant that thrives even if it's stomped on.

Your bright laughter gives me courage

My name is Ivy!

(I feel like I'm wrapped up snugly by your warmth)

Sora, I'm looking forward to knowing you better!

From now on, let's stay together forever and ever

You are not alone

Open your eyes

That’s the way

You’ll be fine

All of us are here now

You’re something special

Please just relax, and move forward

Because you are here now

The world is so beautiful

This place is full of light

You had countless nights of tears

But you walked all the way here

If it’s dark we’ll be your light

You see the end of this road is crystal clear
