I know you want to get serious, but…

You're actually an idiot.

Don't you ever wonder why no one wears armor like that?

No one in "Beast's Fangs" uses that kind of thing either, right?

I thought those guys,

or Lily and Margaret,

just hadn't gotten your hands on it yet.

I thought if I wore this, I'd get to see you

stomping your feet in frustration.

How annoying.

I thought I could look down on you and laugh at you!

You have a terrible personality too!

Actually,

I didn't choose to be an Enchanter instead of an adventurer

for any particular reason.

Pull yourself together, okay?

But I think

I must have subconsciously

chosen the path that didn't carry heavy responsibilities.

If you're an adventurer,

your every move could get someone else hurt.

So he does have a serious side.

I guess so.

I'm scared right now.

I'm scared of losing you two.

The Radiant Dragon Ruins

near the Eastern Capital, Gadressa,

must be very dangerous.

If I were worried about danger,

someone like me shouldn't go on adventures anymore.

Even so, I'm going to the Radiant Dragon Ruins.

I have to go.

If Lily's going, then I'm going too.

I have to find out why my sister died.

But…

If you die on the way, you won't be able to achieve your goals?

That's true…

Once you're in the ruins, you might lose sight of what's around you.

It's hard to say if you'll be able to retreat in time in danger.

So I have a request.

I want you to let me be the leader for this adventure.

You, the most inexperienced of us?

You still can't stop joking around.

Of course, I'll still need your experience and advice.

But I think I can stay calmer than either of you.

So I want you to give me the final say.

If you decide to retreat, we have to listen to you.

Is that what you mean?

If we retreat, we'll definitely come back to try again.

That should be fine, right?

Well…

I'll leave the decision to you two.

I understand, Rein.

You'll be our leader.

Good.

Now, put your gear on the table.

I'm going to apply enchantment to them.

There's no need for that.

How many times must I say it?

I told you I don't need it.

That won't do!

It doesn't matter if your weapons are enhanced,

but your armor must be.

I must ensure everyone comes back alive.

That is my decision as leader.

So this was your goal

when you volunteered to be leader?

Yes.

Then I'll leave it to you,

Leader.

Lily.

I've added 300 bonus points to this armor.

With my current ability, this is all I can apply to someone else's armor.

3… 300?

Even high-level Enchanters can only add three or five points at most.

Such a massive number…

That's absurd.

Margaret.

Come on, let me see your armor.

I've always managed on my own without owing anyone favors,

and I don't intend to start with you.

This has nothing to do with owing favors.

We're going on an adventure together.

I'm just doing what I can.

Because we're companions.

Companions?

My sister…

She always trusted her companions,

yet she lost her life on an adventure.

It means even companions you'd trust with your life

might still abandon you in the end.

That's why I don't need any.

But-- - That's enough.

Please leave.

I'll see you when it's time to depart.

Just go!

Margaret.

Why don't you come over and have some hot pot with us?

Half of the adventurers who were there are no longer alive.

I heard that woman made a stupid mistake.

Even her "companions" died because of her.

It might be more fun to go on adventures with companions.

We might be able to look out for each other.

But…

companions are like a sweet temptation laced with poison.

No matter the situation,

I've always overcome danger with my own skills.

Okay, let's go for a walk--

Wh-What are you doing, Rein?

I was waiting for you.

While naked and being bitten by a dog?

My clothes have been enchanted.

They'd even shatter the hands of anyone who tried to punch me.

To prevent the dog's teeth from breaking when it bites me,

I had to strip for the dog's sake.

You stripped for a dog?

Are you okay?

I'm totally fine. - Seriously.

How many times have I told you not to eat strange things?

Oh, she's talking to the dog, not me. - Please be careful.

And she's so polite to it. - It's full of germs and parasites.

She even uses honorifics with a dog. - So you must cook it before eating.

She really doesn't open up to anyone. - Cooking it until it's charred is best.

If I don't enhance the armor,

I can't let your master come with us.

So until she agrees to let me enhance it,

I'll wait right here.

It's done. I've added 300 points.

There's not even a scratch on it.

What do you think, Margaret?

Amazing, right?

Oh no. He might have really added 300.

If Lily's armor is also that strong,

I won't be able to kill her with this sword.

Rein.

Could you please enhance this sword too?

Rein, take this as well.

This is my spare armor.

I'm giving it to you as a thank-you gift.

I'm not anyone's companion.

Now we're even.

I'm heading out, Margaret.

With this,

I can kill her once her stamina is drained.

Rein, what's wrong?

Did you forget to--

Cornelius from Beast's Fangs.

And…

Who might you be?

Join us in kidnapping Rein.

Have you forgotten that you were driven back last time?

Besides, even if I teamed up with the weak--

We're coming in.

Hey, wait!

Please don't just barge in…

I see.

With you, we might actually be able to kidnap him as he is now.

The Beast's Fangs Assistant Guild Master,

Glenda.

The Beast's Fangs has a new policy.

We'll kidnap Rein and imprison him, forcing him to use his enhancement daily.

With that level of enhancement,

we can immediately replace the men we've lost.

So you're the ones looking for Rein…

Cornelius.

I told you to find an assassin.

Is this brat supposed to be the one?

An assassin?

Can a kid like that really take out Lily?

What a useless fellow.

Shut up, you old hag.

I'll kill you.

Cor… Cornelius!

Wh-What are you doing?

I don't care about the Beast's Fangs.

What matters is killing Rein and Lily.

Otherwise, I'll be looked down upon

in this industry forever.

Mirabelle.

Now I've seen what you're capable of.

I'm officially hiring you to assassinate Rein and Lily.

Here is your fee.

Sorry, Margaret.

You can leave the bodies to us.

Nonsense. I'll kill Lily myself.

As long as you promise not to get in my way.

Rein and Lily's departure date, destination, and gear…

I can tell you everything.

I've heard about the grudge between you and Lily.

I won't interfere.

Even if you tell me to stop,

I'm still going to kill Rein.

The Royal Capital, Gadressa.

It's about a two-hour carriage ride from the capital.

We're finally here.

That's the most difficult dungeon to conquer…

The Radiant Dragon Ruins.

The Radiant Dragon Ruins…

It's said that a certain sword sleeps within these ruins.

A sword that emits phosphorescence and contains the power of dragons.

The Radiant Blade of the Dragon Emperor.

In the ruins on the outskirts of Gadressa, the capital of the Kingdom of Dragons,

it is guarded by a high dragon.

What a massive temple.

Lily.

Could you tell us about its features and what we should watch out for?

I'm sorry, Margaret.

I have no memory of these ruins.

I only remember the feeling of helplessness and despair back then.

I see. Let's head inside, then.

This is ridiculous.

Claiming you don't remember anything…

How is that even possible?

It's magnificent.

So this is the dungeon?

It's dangerous to look around aimlessly.

I…

I still believe Lily abandoned everyone and ran away.

What do you think, Rein?

I don't think so.

That's why I want to use this opportunity to find out the truth,

so that you two can reconcile.

What?

Your sister and Lily were once companions, right?

I'm sure she would want the two of you to make up.

I've been tracking Lily's whereabouts.

I also heard you were no longer able to fight.

But since you're here,

that must have been a false rumor too.

You can actually still fight, can't you?

Lily still trembles at the thought of fighting and can't even hold a sword.

She can't do anything.

But she's willing to share her knowledge and experience with a novice like me.

That's why I'm with her now.

I've had enough.

Margaret.

So you came here even though you can't fight?

Are you kidding me?

Are you two idiots?

In the end, I'm the only one taking this seriously.

They say it's hard to conquer,

but there are goblins here too.

Come on, you pieces of trash!

Lily, the reason I'm here now

is because I'm worried you'll hide evidence of the past.

But right now, you're just a coward.

Now that I've come this far,

I have to keep going, even if I'm alone!

This is bad. They are pouncing at us all together.

Even though they could end up stabbing their own kind!

That's why it's called impregnable!

Lily?

Don't move. Don't get up!

Margaret,

I was worried that my armor wouldn't withstand their attacks.

I was scared to death.

You can move just fine, can't you?

Didn't you say you'd tremble helplessly at the thought of fighting?

I hope you'll pick up a sword next time.

Exactly.

I'll stick with you two from now on.

That's great.

Rein?

I think I heard something.

I'm more curious about the abnormal power of Rein's sword--

It's collapsing! Run!

You always go overboard with your attacks!

Just how many bonus points did you add?

No, this is…

What's going on?

Rein, behind you!

Don't come over here!

I don't care if he lives or dies!

You don't need to look so closely!

I'm… I'm saved.

But we're completely lost.

Rein.

Why has your sword broken again?

How many swords did you bring?

I have over 20 more.

Once an enhanced cheap sword breaks,

I recover the points

and transfer them to a new sword.

I usually carry two enhanced swords with me.

For now, this is the best approach.

So you do use your brain a little.

I'll transfer the points now.

Wait for me a moment.

You can make small talk while you wait.

The weather is nice today.

Yes, it is.

Since entering these ruins,

have you remembered anything?

No, nothing at all.

This place…

We passed through here the last time I was here.

Together with everyone…

If we keep moving forward,

I'm sure I'll remember more.

That last monster…

If it's still standing after a lucky hit like that,

then this sword really isn't enough.

I can't protect them like this.

I have to get my hands on the Radiant Blade of the Dragon Emperor.

It's an ancient gold coin!

This is the first treasure I've ever found on an adventure.

I'm a real adventurer now.

Rein.

What did you just pick up?

Is it treasure? Hand it over.

By custom, loot must be split among all members.

Keeping it for yourself usually leads to a fight.

What? No way.

Please don't fight!

Hand it over.

What's with this guy? He's annoying.

This is a nice gold coin.

It really is.

Is it okay, Margaret?

Sure. You did save my life earlier.

Rein.

You can keep this coin as a souvenir.

But just this once.

Lily, Margaret…

Thank you!

Are you done enchanting?

Let's keep moving.

Let's go.

There's something else on the ground.

What is it this time?

We're splitting whatever it is from now on.

Can't I even have this?

Is that paper? What's written on it?

Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us.

"We were killed by Lily Flambert."

What does it say?

Let me see, Rein.

Uh, this is…

Please let me see it.

Why are you hiding it, Rein?

Now, now, calm down.

I'm putting this in my shirt for now.

My armor has been heavily enhanced.

It won't budge no matter how you pull.

Give it to me!

My clothes aren't enhanced!

Just behave and let me see it!

Take it out, now!

Stop it!

If you pull that hard…
