Kikuru!
Kikuru!
Save me, boss!
Help me, Master!
Don’t look, senpai!
Don't look at me, sir!
A little help, master.
Uh... Master!
Kikkun...
Kikuru...
Is this really how I should be spending my youth...
Is this really the youth I want?
You want to quit?
You want to quit your job?
Where’s this coming from?
Why so sudden?
If something’s bothering you, we can talk about it.
You can talk to me
One of my classmates sent me this New Years greeting card.
if there's something troubling you...
He got married.
I learned of a classmate's marriage
Oh my, what lovely news!
in a New Year's greeting card
Is that why you want to quit?
I received at the beginning of the year...
I’m still only 20, so I thought marriage was still a long ways off.
Oh, that's certainly worth celebrating!
It just hit me all of a sudden.
But is that the reason?
To be honest...
I'm only twenty,
I’ve never even had a girlfriend...
and I know marriage is still a long way off for me,
From my early childhood through to my 18th birthday,
but then I realised this...
I spent all my time training so that I could defeat the monsters I would hunt.
That I've never...
After that, I started working as a hunter and all my time went towards actually hunting monsters.
...had a relationship with someone in the first place.
In other words,
All I'd been doing since I was a kid in order to obtain the skills to defeat monster...
my teenage years completely lacked any interactions with the fairer sex!
...was always training and training until I reached eighteen.
I heard that the guys who join the hunter’s club in college spend all their time hunting girls.
Since I got the job as a hunter, I've been constantly killing monsters for practice...
I don’t think that’s who you should be comparing yourself to!
My teenage years were anything but glamorous!
Wait a minute, you’ve only been working here for 2 years.
I've heard that the guys who joined the Hunter Club at my university...
If you quit now, you won’t be able to collect your retirement payout.
...are hunting for females day and night for some reason.
You’ve put so much work in, so why not give it some more time...
I don't think that's where you should compare yourself to them!
Actually, I’ve already thought about my finances...
But you've only been with us for two years, so you can't get severance pay, you know?
I’ve been working non-stop to the point that I haven’t had time to spend any of my money.
You've worked hard so far, so just try to...
I know this makes me sound like an asshole,
I mean, I've worked my butt to earn so much cash, yet I never had the time to use it.
but I’ve got more money than the guys my age in the hunter’s club.
This may put you off a bit,
What an asshole.
This may put you off a bit, but I've got more cash other than for hunting party search.
That reminds me, a really cute girl just started working for us.
but I've got more cash other than for hunting party search.
What do you think?
It is putting me off...
Talking like you’re running a hostess club isn’t going to convince me to stay.
Anyway, we've got a pretty cute new recruit coming to the guild! What do you think?
Laya-san, Leya-san, good afternoon!
You're saying it as if you're attracting people to a cabaret...
Good afternoon, Enome-san!
Hello, Laia and Leia!
Right on cue!
Hello, Miss Enome!
Good afternoon, Hitamuki-chan.
Speak of the devil.
Is this the new girl you were talking about?
Hello, Hitamuki!
So she's the new recruit?
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you!
My name is Hitamu Kyan, I’m a martial artist!
I'm Hitamu Kyan, a martial artist!
Please call me Hitamuki!
Please call me Hitamuki!
I’m Kikuru.
Name's Kikuru.
A martial artist, huh?
A martial artist... I've heard of that job, but this is the first time I've seen one in person.
I’ve heard about you guys but this is the first time I’ve met one at work.
Right, so today will be Hitamuki's first sortie.
I have an idea.
How about completing a quest together with her, Kikuru?
Today is Hitamuki-chan’s first quest, so how about you go with her, Kikuru-kun?
Together?
Go together...
Right... If you say so, then...
Okay, I guess so.
I'll do my best with dedication!
If Enome-san thinks it’s a good idea...
He's staring at the girl so intensely...
I’ll do my best!
Could she be his type?
Look at how Kikuru-kun’s staring at her. Maybe she’s his type?
Depending on her ability, I wouldn't mind letting her take over my place.
Depending on her skill level,
Kikuru?!
I might be able to leave everything here to her in good conscience.
Mister Kikuru...
Kikuru-kun?!
Drop the formalities. Calling me Mister would be too long and affect the battle.
Hey, Kikuru-san...
But I can't just...
Just call me Kikuru.
Anyway, I see you're a veteran in hunting monster, right, Key?
Taking too long to call out someone’s name is a hinderance in battle.
Key...?
I can’t do that...
I've only landed this gig for two years.
So Kikkun, I heard you’re a veteran monster exterminator.
Are you a high school graduate?
Kikkun?
Yep! I'm eighteen!
I’m still a newbie. I’ve only been working here for 2 years.
You're still in your youthful days, aren't you?
Have you finished high school, Hitamuki?
Don't you feel empty doing bloody work...
Yup! I’m 18 years old.
...like this?!
You’re in the prime of your youth.
Th-This is bad... I'm about to be defeated by myself even before an actual battle...
Don’t you feel empty spending all your
I don't feel empty at all!
time doing this gross, bloody work?
And you shouldn't too, considering you've been of help to so many people so far!
Th-this is bad.
Also, I feel happy and proud that I'm about to continue your job as well!
I’ve almost defeated myself and we haven’t even started fighting yet...
You're too bright...
The work you do shouldn’t make you feel empty!
There's a monster over there!
Just think about how many people you’ve helped over the years!
We're pretty far away, but she can detect them already?
And I feel that it’s an honor and a pleasure to have the opportunity to work alongside you!
So this is a human beast's ability, huh?
She’s shining so bright.
Where'd she go?!
There are monsters over there!
Heya! Nice to meet you!
I’m surprised she could detect enemies from that far away.
What are you doing, miss?!
So that’s the power of a beastkin.
Martial arts begin and end with a bow!
She’s gone...
Stop indulging youself and look ahead!
Yo!
I told you!
Let’s have a good fight!
Owwie...
What the hell are you doing?!
It's so squishy, my fists won't do a thing...
To be a martial artist,
You... can't...
you must understand the importance of respect in all endeavors-
If you... touch me there...
Now’s not the time for that! Look in front of you!
Noooo!!
Told you!
What the hell...
Oww...
Hitamuki, slimes are the lowest of the lowest tier of monsters, you know?
It’s all squishy. My punches aren’t worki-
Uhh... I'd love to get rid of those slimes for you,
S-stop it...
but I'll have to touch your body for that.
G-get your slimy hands off of me...
So you're not going to sue me for sexual harassment, right?
NOOOOO!
I'm not! I won't even think about it!
What the hell is this?
Also, no one would seriously believe in a stumpy person like me...
Hitamuki, slimes are the weakest of the weak.
...even if I caused a commotion...
Believe me when I say that I want to help get those off of you...
I believe in you. You're underestimating your potential too much.
But if I do, I’m going to end up touching you there.
Here I go...
You won’t sue me for sexual harassment, will you?
P-Please do...
Of course not!
M-My bad! It wasn't on purpose!
The thought never even crossed my mind!
It feels so elastic and chilly like a slime...
Besides...
And it also fits like a slime... Is this...
If someone as short and stumpy as me tried complaining about that...
Um... You're touching a slime, for your information...
Well, no one would believe me.
I can't even tell!
They absolutely would.
Sorry... for troubling you...
You’re really underestimating your own potential here.
A slime's body is hard to penetrate with blunt attacks,
Okay, I’m going to remove them.
but its core is fragile and can be destroyed for an easy kill.
Th-thank you for your aid.
So you can finish it off with a piercing attack.
I-I’m sorry! I’m not doing it on purpose.
You're not carrying any weapons with you?
It’s got the elasticity of a slime. It’s got the feeling of a slime.
No!
And it even fits into my hand just like a slime! This is...
A martial artist's whole body is their weapon,
Um, Kikkun, right now you’re actually grabbing...
so I shall protect everything with my own body!
A slime.
You can't even protect yourself with your own body...
I couldn’t tell them apart!
There's a monster up ahead!
I-I’m sorry to have caused you... so much trouble...
Only her recon ability is excellent, huh...
Blunt attacks don’t work very well against slimes.
You've defeated a lot of monsters, but you're still so careful, huh?
But their cores are weak, and if you break them they die.
I can defeat a lot of monsters because I'm careful.
That’s why you should always try to take them out with a single piercing strike.
It would be reckless to confront a large monster head-on, let alone a small fry.
Don’t you have any weapons with you?
I've only ever done head-to-head sparring in the dojo...
Nope!
You should unlearn that fighting style real quick.
For martial artists, our body is our weapon!
You should fight like me, luring the monsters into a trap,
And using just our bodies, we protect everyone!
stabbing them from the back, and shooting them from a distance.
But you couldn’t even protect yourself with your body.
An ambush?!
There’s a monster over there!
I can't do such an unfair thing...
At least she’s good at finding monsters.
Feels like emotional damage alone is already enough to knock me out today...
You’ve defeated a lot of monsters but you’re still very careful, huh?
A bearlion?
It’s only because I’m so careful that I’ve been able to successfully hunt this many monsters.
I'll go for the first strike. You'll be the diversion in case I miss.
Small fry are one thing,
Yes! I'll do my best with dedication!
but it’s completely reckless to try to take a large monster head on.
It spotted me!
At my dojo,
My party member is the worst enemy!
we only ever trained by fighting our opponents head on...
I'll take responsibility and hold it off! Get out of here, Key!
You should reconsider how you challenge your foes.
Idiot! Don't!
Fight like I do.
Don't worry! My Beast Karate won't lose to that monster!
Lay traps for monsters, strike from behind, then shoot from their blind spot.
What are you charging in for?! That was so baseless!
A sneak attack?!
I... wanted to be of help to you...
I could never fight with such cowardly tactics.
My body moved on my own before I could think...
I think I might get knocked out from just psychological damage today.
Even though... I was actually so scared...
It’s a walrabear...
I’ll attack first.
If I don’t take it down, I need you to draw its attention.
Yeah! I’ll do my best!
Ah! It found us!
My partner is my greatest foe!
I-it’s my fault that it found us! My partner is my greatest foe!
I-it’s my fault that it found us!
Let me handle it while you escape!
Stop, you idiot!
Don’t worry about me, my beastkin karate is unbeatable!
What could have possibly made you think that was going to work?!
I-I just... I wanted to be useful and help you...
My body started moving before I could think about anything.
I was actually really scared...
This girl...
This girl...
Is my complete polar opposite!
She's so different from me fundamentally!
Mr. Bear... stop it... no... not there...
Mister Bear...
You should be dead by now! Mr. Bear... stop it... no... not there...
Did you just let out a pheromone that could make monster go in heat?!
Mr. Bear... stop it... no... not there...
Normally, you'd be chopped meat!
Are you emitting pheromones Mr. Bear... stop it... no... not there...
Well, you've proved yourself a nice bait for that thing, though...
that send monsters into heat? Mr. Bear... stop it... no... not there...
Doing this gig alone...
Well, I guess you made a nice distraction.
...would've been much easier...
That would’ve been much easier by myself.
...would've been much easier...
You got 2 slimes and a walrabear on your first quest?
You've eliminated two slimes and one bearlion on your first quest!
That’s great, Hitamuki-chan!
Way to go, Hitamuki!
All in all, it wasn’t bad for a first quest.
Yeah, I'd say she did a fair job for her first gig.
Come on. Cheer up, Hitamuki.
Come on, you should look happier, Hitamuki.
I’m sorry...
I'm sorry...
What happened out there?
What happened?
Enome-san, I really had decided
Miss Enome.
I was going to quit working here so I could go enjoy the college experience.
Actually,
Your mind’s already made up...
I have decided to quit my current job and set my course for an unknown campus life.
However...
You've already thought that far...?
If I don’t find a real successor to take over before I leave...
But...
I let them all out!
Unless I could find a proper successor first...
I understand that this town will be destroyed.
I let them outside!
Hitamuki, are all fighers like you?
The city would possibly perish if I quit.
My master always said that for better or worse, I was a pure soul.
Hitamuki.
I can now see that I’m not the first person who’s had a hard time looking out for you.
Are all martial artists like you?
Hey, Kikuru-kun.
My mentor always said I was "pure, for better or worse."
Hitamuki-chan’s still a newbie so would you mind keeping an eye on her for a while?
I see I'm not the only one having trouble with you.
Easier said than done.
Hey, Kikuru.
I just remembered! I have some good news for you!
Hitamuki's still a novice,
so please take the long view of her.
Even if you say so...
Oh, right! I have good news for you!
Good news?
Good news?
You’ll never believe it! Another girl joined!
Surprise! Looks like another new recruit girl is joining your party!
I feel like you’re really misreading my intentions here.
Aren't you getting the wrong idea about me?!
And guess what else?
Also,
She’s as cute as Hitamuki-chan.
she's as cute as Hitamuki!
Would you stop treating me like a scumbag who’s just here to meet girls?!
Stop treating me like one of those "uncontrollable date seekers"!
P-people think I’m cute? I’m shocked to hear that.
I-I can't be cute...
Stop blushing over everything we say.
You're exaggerating...
Maidena-chan, you can come in now.
Stop blushing every time, will you?
She’s here?!
Come in, Maidena!
I can’t talk to her after she overheard that conversation, it’s too embarrassing!
She's here already?!
Nice to meet you. I’m Maidena, a white mage.
It's kind of awkward meeting her face-to-face after she's heard about this exchange!
What can I say now to make this less awkward?
Hello, I'm a white sorceress,
Wait a minute, she’s smaller than Hitamuki.
Maidena.
Can she even fight?
What do I do with this atmosphere...?
Look how cute she is!
She's smaller than Hitamuki, too. Can she even fight?
Maidena-chan is a newbie too, so I want you to keep an eye on her.
You're so cute!
You want me to watch another one?
Maidena's still a novice too, so please look after her.
I’m Hitamuki.
Me again?!
N-nice to meet you...
Name's Hitamuki!
Of course! We have to rely on our ace hunter.
H-Hello...
Okay... I guess training my successor is the fast road to retirement, right?
You're our reliable ace, after all!
I’m a devout member of the Church of Phoenizax.
Raising a successor...
And as such,
Would that be the shortest path to retiring...?
I could never work with such a lustful man who’s only here to meet women.
I am a devout Phoenizaskan.
I refuse to do it!
So, I can't work with a lustful guy who only wants a "date with a girl" like you.
Hold on.
And I don't want to!
I know what you just heard, but it’s not like that.
Wait! You're getting the wrong idea about earlier.
I promise there’s nothing to worry about.
Also, calm down.
You look like a child. I’m not attracted to you at all.
You look like a kid, so I don't feel anything about you.
You jerk!
You're the worst!
Wh-why?
B-But why...
Kikuru-kun, it might be a good idea for you to learn how deal with girls.
I think you should start from getting used to handling girls first...
Immoral Guild!
Immoral Guild!
School fesitvals.
A youthful event for students,
An important event during any student’s youth.
the cultural festival.
An event where couples,
While the lovers, or those who were in a similar relationship,
or people on the road to becoming couples,
were amiably enjoying the entertainment...
can spend time together enjoying various student productions.
I was guarding the premises all day long.
I worked security the entire time.
You don't need a Mage Masher...
No one needs a mage masher at a school festival.
...in a cultural festival, do you?
I wanted to shut up all those stupid happy couples!
I wanted to silence those idiot couples flirting with each other!
You’re the best!
Thank you so much!
Having you work security really saves us a lot of mo-
With you being here,
It really makes us all feel safe!
we can cut down the security cost—
I pretty much heard all of your honest thoughts.
It's so reassuring!
I wasted my only shot at youth working my ass off helping other people.
I can mostly hear your true opinion, sir.
It’s not too late...
I've wasted my one and only youth on things that were always about helping others...
If I can find a successor and train them,
But I can still make it, as long as I can raise a successor and retire...
I can retire and still have time to prepare for college entrance exams for next year...
To prepare for next year's college entrance examinations...
You know, if we found someone who already knew
Well, if I call in a handful of skilled people, I can save myself the trouble of training them.
what they were doing I wouldn’t have to waste time training anyone.
Sorry if I'm a handful novice.
Well excuse me for being a newbie you need to spend time training.
Key! Looking forward to another good hunting today!
Kikkun, thanks for agreeing to train me again.
Yeah...
Sure...
You have quite a festive party now, eh!
Kikuru-kun, you’re so lucky to be surrounded by such lovely ladies.
I mean, they're just kids...
Actually, I see them more as being childr-
Yeah, you're right. I find them charming.
Yes, you’re right.
You pervert!
They’re both very charming ladies.
I can't really dig her.
Pervert!
You're about to clear a quest now, but will you be okay?
Working with her is going to suck.
I'll do my best to bring them closer to each other!
Will you two be okay going on a quest together?
Anxiety!
I’ll do my best to make sure that the two of them learn to get along!
Huh? Where's Kikuru?
That wasn’t reassuring!
Gone already?
Huh, where’d Kikuru go? Did he leave already?
Looks like you're a tad too late.
You just missed him.
I see. That's a bummer.
Oh well. Too bad.
I'm off too, then!
I’m heading out, too!
Safe trip, Esyne!
Have a good day, Esyne-chan.
I'm sure you know about this,
I’m sure you both know this already...
but we hunters, martial artists, knights, and sorcerers,
But hunters, martial artists, warriors and mages
are all called "guards".
like us who work fighting monsters are called “Guards”.
And our job is to protect the city and its people from monsters.
It’s our job to protect the town and its people from monsters.
We mainly go on a patrol like we did today and hunt the assigned monsters.
Most of our work is going on patrol like we are now, or hunting a specific monster.
And then...
On top of that-
We also transport and escort VIPs, right?
We also make deliveries and escort important clients, right?
You know a lot, don't you, Maide?
You’re really smart, Maide-chan.
It's common sense. You learn that at school.
I learned all that stuff in class. It’s common sense.
Wait, did you just call me Maide?
And when did you start calling me Maide-chan?
I did!
Yup!
School, huh? Even though she looks small, she's still a college student, after all.
Class, huh?
She looks like a kid but I guess she’s in college.
Hitamuki, I want to avoid danger as much as possible today.
Hitamuki, I want to avoid danger as much as possible today.
If it’s possible, I’d like to just hunt slimes.
I also want to hunt some slimes, but do you remember how they smell?
Do you still remember their scent?
Yes, I do!
Yup, I sure do!
Uhh...
There’s no way I’d be able to forget it after all those horrible things they did to me...
They did such hideous things to me...
Sorry for bringing it up.
Of course I can't forget...
I know you want to forget their scent and those memories.
My bad, of course you want to forget anything about them, even their smell.
H-horrible things? What are you talking about?
Wh-What do you mean hideous things?! What are you going to do to me?!
What are you going to do to me?!
You've got it wrong.
It’s not like that.
Even though it's mostly as you'd imagine, you're getting the wrong idea.
It’s pretty much exactly what you’re imagining it is, but it’s not like that.
That's barely convincing!
That’s not even a little bit convincing!
This will be your revenge match, Hitamuki.
It’s time for Hitamuki to even the score.
Sure! I'll do—
Yeah! I’ll do my-
I'll do my best with dedication.
I’ll do my best.
Maidena, you wait here with me.
Maidena, you and I are on standby.
Aren't you being too cautious over a mere slime?
Aren’t you being too careful? It’s just a slime.
Sure, a slime is a small fry.
Slimes may be weak...
But there are some guys that will go toe-to-toe with the small fry.
But, there are people out there who turn fights with weak monsters into big ordeals.
Heya!
Yo!
Nice to meet you!
Let’s have a good fig-
- It attacked me when I was greeting again!
Why do they keep attacking me
- Why would she even greet it?! - It attacked me when I was greeting again!
Why did she greet her opponent?! while I’m greeting them?!
We need to save her!
We need to help her.
The back line shouldn't reveal themselves so easily.
It’s still too early for the rear guard to enter the fight.
It's also necessary to "calmly" assess whether the front line can recover.
We need to be able to wait calmly and see if the vanguard can handle this alone.
Besides, today is also a training exercise for my level-headedness.
Plus I’m here to train myself to stay cool under pressure today.
Because yesterday I was very distraught by the unexpected actions of my party member.
I was far too shaken by my party’s childish actions on our quest yesterday.
So your party member was troubling you instead of the enemy?
So you suffered because of your party, not your enemies...
The enemy is still predictable.
The enemy is still behaving like I expect them to.
She went head-to-head again and blew her chance to make the first move today...
And once again,
But I must keep my cool now...
she’s thrown away her chance for a
Key told me to strike your core with a piercing attack!
pre-emptive strike and challenged them head on.
Piercing attack...
But today... I won’t get angry. I’ll stay calm.
That means...
Kikkun told me I need to break your core with a piercing attack.
A spear hand!
A piercing attack...
Owww!
That means... Spearhand Strike!
Need to keep my cool, even if her...
OWW!
...stupidity makes me want to look away...
I need to fight the base urge to avert my eyes and replace it with calmness.
Aren't you doing that now?
But aren’t you looking away now?
Owww... Gotta endure...
I need to... fight the pain...
Another one?!
There’s another one?!
So its friends spotted me because I screamed a lot?!
I was yelling so loud that its friend found me. It’s the failure of a lifetime!
What a grand blunder!
Are you even trying to fight back?
Does she even want to recover?!
It’s times like this... that I need to stay calm.
Even if I want to say that, need to keep my cool...
Stop saying “calm”! It’s just a sound that has no meaning at this point!
The word doesn't even have substance anymore! It has become "hot"!
I can’t get it off.
I can't get it off me!
Oh no, they’re doing it again...
You're attacking there again?!
Stop it...
Why?!
Once again... I have been defeated...
I'm losing again...?
I’m sorry, Maidena.
Sorry, Maidena.
Those horrible things you were imagining before are all happening now.
The hideous thing you imagined has happened.
Wait a minute! I didn’t imagine any of this!
Wait, I never imagined this!
These past few seconds feel like I stepped into a new world!
I never even knew about the world I've just witnessed these past few seconds!
Stop moaning like that!
Nooooo!!
The only experience we gained from this fight was me learning how to stay calm.
Stop moaning!
Not even close. You were freaking out the whole time.
In the end, all we've got was only my great degree of level-headness, huh?
And why the hell are you blushing, you pervert?
Liar. You were in a panic.
Perve-
Also, what are you blushing for, you pervert?
Hitamuki, show me the fingers you hurt.
Per—
Here. It really hurts.
Hitamuki, show me your injured fingers.
Wow, they’re really swollen. You might have broken some bones.
Okay... They really hurt...
Cural.
Wow... They're very swollen.
That’s amazing! You healed them just like that!
They might be broken.
I’ve worked with some white mages before,
Cure!
but I’ve never seen healing magic that works that fast.
Wowzer! The injury's gone in a flash!
It’s only natural.
I've worked with many white sorcerers a few times before,
After all I am known as a prodigy the likes of which we’ve only seen a few of throughout history.
but this is the first time I've seen one of them heal this fast.
Maide-chan, you’re awesome! Thank you so much!
It's only a given! For they say I'm one of the greatest geniuses of all time!
I might be able to retire earlier than I thought.
You're so amazing, Maide! Thank you!
I’ll send the bill to your house at the end of the month.
Surprisingly, my retirement might just come earlier, huh.
Don’t forget to pay it, okay?
The invoice for your treatment will be sent to your house by the end of the month.
Don't forget to pay up, okay?
Sure!
Sure!
You charge money to use healing spells?
Huh?
Of course we do.
You're charging people for healing magic?!
If we didn’t,
Well, duh! If I cured you for free, hospitals and drug companies would be out of business.
all the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies would go bankrupt.
Now that you mentioned it...
I see. That makes sense...
The cost of treatment varies from sorcerer to sorcerer,
We charge based on our abilities,
but compared to high-end remedies, my magic...
so my magic usually costs more than the most expensive medicine...
If I break my fingers again, please don't charge me money...
If I re-break my fingers, can we forget about the whole billing thing?
You'll have insurance, so calm down.
Calm down. Your insurance will cover it.
Fighting is so beyond me, so be sure to protect me, okay?
Fighting monsters is outside of my field of expertise, so make sure you protect me, okay?
W-Woof!
Y-Yeah!
I'm here too, mind you.
I’m here too, you know.
You...
Yeah, and you’re...
You're a pervert!
A pervert!
Do you hate me enough now to turn to Hitamuki after that tragedy?
Do you really hate me so much that you’d still rather rely
Another slime!
on Hitamuki after having witnessed what just happened?
It's so big!
It’s another sli-
It's a Megaslime!
I-it’s huge!
Megaslime!
That’s a massivlime.
Careful. With its large size, it'll be difficult to strike its core.
A massivlime?!
I see. It's my turn to shine now, then!
Be careful.
That might be the case, I think!
Its size makes it much harder for attacks to reach its core.
What...
Got it. If that’s the case then I guess... It’s my time to shine.
How...
What?
Why...
How could you possibly...!
...do you even think it's your turn to shine now?!
In any way think...!
Just like white sorcerers with their white magic,
That this is a chance for you to shine?!
us martial artists have "artes"!
White mages have their white magic, and us martial artists have our battle techniques!
It's called Counter!
This one’s called counter!
I can see through my opponent's attack,
We see through our opponent’s attack and
and strike a powerful blow!
realiate against it with a devistating blow!
A both offensive and defensive ultimate!
It’s a special move that uses one’s
Why didn't you use it from the start?
whole body for both offense and defense.
This arte has one weakness.
Why didn’t you use this before?
The range of counterattacks is very limited,
This technique only has one weakness.
and in addition, I can't drop my stance while it is in effect!
In addition to not being able to move after entering the counter stance,
That's two, not one.
the range of the counterattack is very small.
Hence, if the enemy ignores me, I won't be able to do anything!
You just listed two different weaknesses.
Huh?
That means if the enemy ignores me, I’ll be completely useless during a battle.
Noooo!!
M-Maide-chan!
M-Maide!
Do you feel a physical need to turn every action you take into a joke?!
Do you really have to fail in every move you make?!
Are you hurt?
Are you hurt?
Okay.
I see.
I am absolutely not cut out for this.
Deep inside, I don't think I'm cut out for this.
Everything I’ve accomplished during my career has been done while working solo.
I've always fought solo in the first place,
Of course I’d be a complete amateur when it comes to leading a party.
but I'm an amateur at leading a group.
I’ve got a useless vanguard.
- And with a non-functioning front line...
I’m so sorry! I’ve got a useless vanguard.
- I'm sorry! - And with a non-functioning front line...
And a stubborn healer.
And a stubborn healer...
This is a lot to deal with.
This is too much for me.
So... are we going after the massivlime?
Umm... Should we go after the Megaslime?
It’s going to be a long time before I can reitre, isn’t it?
I guess my retirement...
No. Let’s stop here today.
...is still a long road ahead.
All you got today were two slimes?
Let's call it a day.
Did you not run into many monsters today?
Let's call it a day.
I had two newbies with me so I wanted to play it safe.
So you've defeated two slimes, but didn't encounter any other monsters?
That’s the explanation we’re going with.
I had two novices with me, so we couldn't risk it.
I’m sorry...
Would that be okay with you?
What happened out there?
I'm sorry...
Um, listen...
What happened?!
Thanks for saving me back there, Kikuru.
Umm... I...
How nice!
I want to say thank you for saving me earlier.
It looks like you two are getting along now.
Kikuru.
Kikkun saved Maide-chan when she was in a pinch!
Oh, looks like you two are getting along now!
And now we’re all friends. Yay!
Key and Maide have saved us from danger!
I-I’m the reason she was in that pinch in the first place...
We're all buddy-buddy now!
Well, the two of you are getting along now and that was one of the goals for today, right?
Nooo!
So Maidena-chan, how was it going on a quest with them?
I-I was the one causing the danger...
L-let’s see...
In a sense, you've done what you said you would do in bringing them together.
There was a lot of danger out there,
How was your quest with Kikuru and Hitamura, Maidena?
but I guess that’s why they need a white mage’s healing magic.
Uh... Well...
I wouldn’t mind helping them out on days I don’t have school.
We had a lot of dangerous moments,
Where do you go to college?
but that just made me realise how important a healer is...
I thought I'd help them again when there's no school...
Which college are you attending, Maidena?
College?
College?
I’m in my first year of high school. Didn’t you know I was 15?
My friend, I'm still a first-year high school girl.
You’re 15?!
Which makes me fifteen.
But you’re not supposed to work as a Guard until you’re 18.
Fifteen?
They made an exception for me! I told you I was a prodigy!
Wait, I thought you had to be eighteen to get a job as a guard?
15 years old... First year of high school...
Mine's a special case! Told you already that I'm a genius, didn't I?
That means she was a middle schooler until just recently...
Fifteen... First-year...
E-Enome-san...
She was just a middle school student a few days ago...
From now on, promise me that you’ll only let people join if they’re at least 18 years old.
M-Miss Enome...
Why’d you just come up with that age rating system?!
Please make it the requirement for future members to be "eighteen years old or older".
“Hitamuki: The Movie” is not fit for eyes of developing children.
What's with that sudden rating system?!
What happened on that quest?!
"Hitamuki the Movie" would bad for cultivation of aesthetic sensibility...
Something I’m not comfortable saying out loud.
What happened out there...?!
I can't disclose the details myself...
