W-Wait up, I say!

What did you do that for?!

Huh?

A smokescreen, huh? That's another good decision.

Hey, we're withdrawing for now.

Hurry and create a portal leading to that Divine Realm place.

A-All right!

There!

You're not getting away!

Hell's Fire!

Tch

That's okay.

That's okay. I'll see to it that we meet again soon enough.

Th...

Th-That was a close call.

Seiya?

Hey! What was that for?!

You're disrupting my training. Get out.

M-More working out?

I have to, or I can't beat her. From what I could see,

she was many times stronger than that slime.

Well, yeah. She's one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

I'm not leaving here until I've achieved results I'm satisfied with.

When I'm ready, I'll let you know with the buzzer.

Until then, stay out of here.

When you're ready?

"Two days later"

I can't stand just hanging around waiting!

I'll use the crystal ball I borrowed from Aria...

Crystal ball, which can see all the 3,000 worlds,

if there is any imminent danger, then show it to me here, right now!

So, are you watching?

Are you watching me, I wonder,

goddess and hero?

If you two aren't going to appear,

then I'm going to destroy this town.

D-Don't do this, please!

I'm going to start chopping off the head of one resident every ten minutes.

Ah, the red fountains humans make are so pretty.

So very pretty.

I thought I told you not to come in here until I rang the buzzer.

This is an emergency!

Chaos Machina is executing the people in town!

She's going to keep killing them until we show up! We have to hurry back!

We can't. I'm not ready yet.

While we're up here doing this, the people in town are getting killed!

Take it easy.

Didn't you say that the time flows more slowly here in the Divine Realm?

That's true, but it's not as though time is completely standing still, either.

What's the exact ratio to the time down there?

About 100-to-1.

Ten minutes on Gaeabrande is roughly 16 hours here.

Then I don't see a problem. We still have plenty of time left.

That may be true, but don't heroes usually dash right off to the rescue?

Well now, who will be the next one to die?

I think I'll do this man next.

Oh, no!

Papa! No!

Stop!

Th-This is just too cruel.

Doorway to the other world, open!

I told you, I'm not ready yet.

What are you talking about? Nina's papa is about to be killed!

H-Hey, did you hear what I said?

Yes I did. But not yet.

Seiya, I understand that you're scared.

But with your stats, your chances of winning are greater than zero.

I'll be there backing you up with recovery magic, too. So...?

It's not that I'm afraid of her.

Remember, if you die, you'll just be sent back to your original world.

But if those people get killed, there's no coming back for them!

Please! Please don't kill Papa!

Don't worry.

You won't miss him, you won't miss him. After all, right after him,

I'm going to cut your head off!

Can you watch this and still not care?!

This girl gave you her pressed flower! She said it was her good-luck charm!

Now that you mention it, you're right.

I may have been right about this being a cursed item.

Perhaps we encountered that enemy because of this thing.

I blew it. I blew it. I should never have summoned you.

You're really just scared, right?

That's why you're so cautious about wanting to get ready.

Did you hear me? Well?

You're such a coward!

I don't care how high your abilities are, you're an awful, horrible hero.

If I die... the town will perish,

and before long, that whole world will perish, too.

That's why I can't afford to get killed.

That's why I've been preparing myself so conscientiously.

Wh-What are you doing?

Isn't that obvious?

Y-You mean...?

"Seiya Ryuuguuin"

H-He finished all this in that short a time?

Enough to prevail against Chaos Machina!

"Attack: 932; Defense: 990; Speed: 993; Magic: 666" "Special Moves: Atomic Split Smash, Hell's Fire" Enough to prevail against Chaos Machina!

"Resistances: Fire, Ice, Wind, Water, Earth, Poison, Paralysis, Sleep, Curse, Sudden Death" Enough to prevail against Chaos Machina!

"Special Skills: Fire Magic (Lv:18), EXP Boost (Lv:6), Scan (Lv:8)" Enough to prevail against Chaos Machina!

I'm perfectly prepared.

I am fully and completely ready for this.

G-Good! Well then,

I'll open a gateway right to the center of town, so we can rescue them quickly.

Doorway to the other world, open--

Ow! What was that for?!

Are you dense? Make it somewhere farther away from there.

She'll kill that man the moment she sees me show up.

O-Oh, right. But still, would you mind not hitting goddesses on their heads?

Oh, yeah... I'll be more careful from now on.

I may have picked up some strange germs.

You did not! I wash my hair and everything!

Please, stop! Don't do anything mean to Papa--

Ten minutes is a pretty long time, huh?

Never mind, never mind. Let's make it five minutes. I'm going to kill this man.

No!

You can blame your hero!

Wind Blade!

Huh? Did he have that move before?

Ha-ha, I knew you would come.

Though I have to ask, what was that? A little short on chivalry, aren't we?

You're the last person who gets to say anything!

You're just a coward who takes hostages!

What about you? It's a shame; that's the only sneak attack you'll get.

I never meant to hit you in the first place.

Papa! Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

Y-You saved me! Thank you so much!

So that's how it is. I see, I see. And I fell for it entirely.

Hmm? What's going on? It's like he's a different person than before.

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" Hmm? What's going on? It's like he's a different person than before.

His ability level is higher than mine.

Oh yeah? So you can use Scan, too.

Did you get a look at Seiya's stats?

If you want to admit defeat, now is your chance.

Well then, it looks like I'm going to have to go a bit more all-out.

Huh?

Release!

Did you think you had won? Well, too bad.

Expert fighters always have something hidden up their sleeves.

Ah! Is that...?

"Chaos Machina"

"Chaos Machina" Oh, no! All of her stats just jumped way up!

"Attack: 1128; Defense: 1199; Speed: 1060; Magic: 517" Oh, no! All of her stats just jumped way up!

"Attack: 1128; Defense: 1199; Speed: 1060; Magic: 517" And here I thought we'd finally caught up to her!

"Resistances: Wind, Water; Special skill: Magic Sword (Lv:18)" And here I thought we'd finally caught up to her!

Okay, show me a good time, hero!

I'm just going to keep coming!

She's fast. She's swinging that huge sword so easily.

Hmph, you can still keep up with my moves, huh?

You wouldn't happen to be one of those guys with sharp instincts, are you?

Y-Yeah! The person with the higher stats isn't necessarily guaranteed to win!

Sixth senses and gamesmanship also factor into a fight!

Mm, what a hassle, what a hassle.

But I think I'd better make doubly sure.

I'm about to show you my special technique, "Demonic Curse."

S-Seiya, be careful!

I'll let you in on something.

A real expert fighter always has something hidden further up their sleeve.

Wh-What a cautious enemy. Just what kind of technique is this?

What are you doing?!

Th-This is Demonic Curse...

It delivers certain death to heroes with overwhelming power!

What the...?

Th-This is Chaos Machina's true form...?

Y-Y-You're kidding, right?

"Greater Demon"

"Greater Demon" That's beyond the Demon Lord of a difficulty D-class world!

"Greater Demon" Even with Seiya's combat smarts, this is bad!

Even with Seiya's combat smarts, this is bad!

Do you understand now? The difference in our levels is obvious.

Hero, you have no chance of beating me now!

One blow! In one blow, I'll separate your head from your body!

I had no idea Gaeabrande would be such a terrible world!

I'm sorry, Seiya.

Huh?

Wh-What the...? That's impossible!

H-How?! With Seiya's stats, there's no way he could withstand that!

Did I misread his numbers?

No, I'll bet it's...

"Fake"

"Fake" ...the Fake Out skill!

"Fake" "(Disguised)" ...the Fake Out skill!

L-Let me Scan him again.

Protected?

He must be using Fake Out, right? What a sneaky trick!

"No looking"

"I said no looking" A-Again?! He's calling me out?! Why, you...!

"I said no looking" "Especially you, Rista. Absolutely no looking" A-Again?! He's calling me out?! Why, you...!

A-Again?! He's calling me out?! Why, you...!

And who are you calling degenerate?!

Okay, fine, now I'm making it a point to see! Roar! Megamic Power!

"No looking"

Whoa-ho! My eyes are about to pop out! But tough it out! Tough it out, Ristarte!

"No looking" "You degenerate goddess" Whoa-ho! My eyes are about to pop out! But tough it out! Tough it out, Ristarte!

"No looking" "You degenerate goddess" You're the kind of girl who can do things if you put your mind to it!

These are his real stats--

"Seiya Ryuuguuin"

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" Gah! What am I looking at?!

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" These figures are five--no, ten times

"Special Skills: Fire Magic (Lv:MAX), Explosive Magic (Lv:5), Magic Sword (Lv:7), EXP Boost (Lv:6), Scan (Lv:8), Fake Out (Lv:20), Flight (Lv:8)" what I saw in the Unified Divine Realm!

"Special Skills: Fire Magic (Lv:MAX), Explosive Magic (Lv:5), Magic Sword (Lv:7), EXP Boost (Lv:6), Scan (Lv:8), Fake Out (Lv:20), Flight (Lv:8)" He has more skills and techniques, too!

"Special Moves: Atomic Split Smash, Hell's Fire, Maximum Inferno, Wind Blade, Phoenix Drive" He has more skills and techniques, too!

Wait, that's impossible in such a short amount of time. Which means...

he's been using the Fake Out skill since he finished his first set of training?

He had higher stats than Chaos Machina even then.

But he was extra-careful and trained even more!

H-He's sick! He's completely unhinged!

Tch, you're better than I expected. In that case...

I'll use my move that lets me punch with all my magic in my fist,

"Demonic Delete,"

to turn you and this whole town into a pile of debris!

He's gone?

Wha--?!

What the hell?! The "Flight" skill?!

Chaos Machina, one of the Demon Lord's Four Heavenly Kings,

you are powerful.

Not just powerful, but careful. You would have bested any normal hero here.

However,

this time, you picked on the wrong opponent. I mean... I mean...

M-Magic Sword, too?!

You have that upper-tier skill...?

Take this!

Phoenix Drive!

Gah!

I mean, this hero...

...is impossibly overcautious!

Seiya!

What are you doing? Are you trying to squeeze me to death?

No! I'm happy! After all, I thought we were done for!

Oh, man! Man-oh-man! He smells so good! Sniff, sniff--

Get off of me. I'll catch some weird disease from you.

No! I'm not stopping! Let me make you sick! Not that I'm sick, I mean.

You know what, Seiya?

I'm a little upset at you. How long have you been hiding your Fake Out skill?

If you're on my side, and you can see all my stats,

it follows that the enemies can find them out, too.

So I acquired that one before any others.

So it was right from the start.

I can understand that you don't want the enemies to find out.

But you could have at least told me, right? I mean, I'm your partner.

Even supposing you don't say anything, if there was some monster...

who opened your brain and read your mind, we'd be screwed.

Do such monsters exist?!

I'd be terrified if there are! If that ever happens, Seiya, protect me!

You're a goddess, so you can't die, right? No need to protect you.

Oh, come on! Protect me!

Stop messing around, or I'll carve you up.

I don't mind if you do! In fact, do it!

Hey.

Ah, Mr. Hero!

You saved our town!

I can't believe you defeated that devil!

Thank you so much!

What a distinguished face he has!

He's tall, too! What a handsome man!

My name's Jamie, and I run the fruit stand!

Please take these if you'd like!

Oh, thank you.

I'm the mayor of this town.

I would definitely like to throw you a banquet to welcome you!

Please join me at my manor!

A welcoming party! What do you say, Seiya? Should we go?

No. I still have things I need to take care of.

He's planning on going to the next town right away, isn't he?

How stoic! I am really falling for him now!

Huh? Wh-What are you doing?

Just to be safe.

Are those the Greater Demon's charred remains?

He wouldn't...

Hell's Fire!

He would!

Hell's Fire! Hell's Fire!

Hell's Fire! Hell's Fire! Hell's Fire! Hell's Fire!

Hey, what kind of festival is this?!

She's a Heavenly King. If even one cell remains, she might regenerate.

I have to reduce her to nothing!

You're losing the crowd! That's enough, already!

Hell's Fi--

There.

Now for the finisher.

Huh?

Hidden skill: Maximum Inferno!

What are you doing?! Using your hidden skill on cinders?!

You have to stop! The shops are on fire!

Hey, look over there!

Jamie the fruit vendor is on fire!

Stop already! Jamie is on fire!

Ow! Ow! Hot!

In the name of the healing goddess Ristarte,

let this man's wounds be healed!

Maximum Inferno!

Hey, you! How long are you gonna do that?!

Please...

I'm begging you, please leave town!

How did things end up like this?!

That was more like Demon-Lord behavior than heroic!

I just had a kid hit me with a rock!

This despite saving them from Chaos Machina. They're heartless.

No, you are. Jamie burned up!

That's not on me.

You really are the worst.

Excuse me!

I'm so sorry. You saved the town, and then things turned out like that.

Oh, no, what's done is done. After all, we burned down the shops...

as well as some people, so...

This isn't much, but it's from the heart.

Ho, money?

E-Easy there, Seiya! You're a hero, so show a little restraint!

Hmm, it's less than I expected. Don't you have more? Give me everything!

Now you're being a common mugger!

All I have left is this.

I know you're sick, mister, but you're actually a good person.

Nina...

You're half right and half wrong.

He's just sick; he's not a good person.

Hey, I'm standing right here. How can you say that?

Because you set fire to the town and are making off with their money!

Aw, enough of this! Let's head off to the next town! Here, bow your head!

Thank you, miss! Thank you, sick man!

Hey, Nina! You shouldn't say that!

Listen, Seiya, can't you act a little more heroic?

Huh? Seiya, you still have that pressed flower?

Didn't you say it was a cursed item that invites enemies?

Well, on second thought, that actually works better for me.

Having them come to attack me makes things easier to manage.

Hmm...

What?

Oh, nothing.

I just don't get this man. Then again, so what?

In any event, our adventure is just getting started.

Let's hurry to the next town.

No. We're going back to the Divine Realm.

You're kidding, right? More working out?!

When they learn that a Heavenly King has been defeated,

the enemy is going to send even stronger foes our way.

B-B-But if we don't go to the next town,

we won't be able to get any good weapons or armor.

True, I would like more weapons and armor. Can't you make any?

You created a bed and stuff for me before.

I can only use the power of creation in the Divine Realm.

It's forbidden to take anything we create out of there.

Any excessive help to humans goes against divine law.

Useless woman.

What do you mean?! I healed Jamie's burns!

Medicinal herbs would have sufficed.

In other words, your value to society is on the same level as a medicinal herb.

"Value to society" In other words, your value to society is on the same level as a medicinal herb.

Whose identity is that of a medicinal herb?!

In any case, I'm training in the divine realm.

Hurry and open a portal, medicine-herb woman.

Oh, all right!

Wait a minute, what did you just call me?!

Good. Let's go.

It's like we've started on a journey, but now we're going back.

And this is the second time, too!

Is this hero really going to work out?
