Original subtitles

Now I get it.

This is that big-mouthed monster's natural habitat.

The death knell it let out was a lure

to draw a huge horde here.

The pandemonium is enough to terrify even what lives in this monstrous land.

Sir Tooka...

We still have some time before they arrive.

There's... There's an outrageous number of them.

Knowing that is enough.

Everyone, listen to me.

I'll act as bait and draw the monsters to me.

Use the time I buy to get to the witch.

I'll create an opportunity for you all to escape, no matter what.

Big Sis!

Lis.

My own carelessness brought this on us.

I must be the one to take action.

As you know, my senses are quite sharp.

I'm also an expert at maneuvering in terrain like this.

Big Sis...

Lis, make sure you listen to Tooka and Seras until I return.

All right.

If you're that insistent, I'll let you lure them away.

But on one condition.

You have to promise us

that you'll make it back alive.

Yes, you have my word.

Did you think I'd agree just like that?

Tooka?

To the Limit, and Beyond

Eve, your odds of survival are too low.

But I...

First of all, you don't need to feel responsible.

The monster you cut down

kept hidden until it was within extremely close range,

then broke concealment without warning.

It would have been a challenge for you to sense it ahead of time.

Still!

Had I been the one standing where you were,

I would have done the same thing.

I should've used my status ailment skill immediately.

So this is on me, too.

No reason for you to take all the blame.

But Tooka—

Listen.

Eve Speed, you're indispensable in getting us to the witch.

She bestowed your kind with that map.

Bringing someone she's entrusted it to

will make our negotiations much easier.

My voice projection gem...

It isn't fully hardened yet, but it is solid now.

I just hope it functions.

I'm the one with the best chance at survival given the situation.

Or, to be more accurate, me, Piggymaru, and Slei.

This team has the best shot at ensuring we all make it out alive.

Besides, at present,

my status ailment skill is the only thing guaranteed to deliver lethal damage

to the human-faced beasts.

Responsibility is important,

but I decide where that responsibility falls within our war band.

So if I say not to worry about it, then don't.

That's an order.

Forgive me.

I can't say I don't like your strong sense of duty.

Sir Tooka, thank you so much.

It's still too early for thanks.

Save it for after we've all reached our destination safely.

Yes!

Sir Tooka...

Good luck.

If I don't return, I leave the rest in your hands.

Yes!

I'd like to ask you not to say such ominous things,

but for now, I shall simply accept it.

I'm glad you're an understanding vice captain.

Everyone, run!

Don't get caught in it!

Everyone, hurry up and move!

Suou-san, please lead them!

Okay, got it!

Everyone! This way!

Kanae-san! Everyone, wait!

What's all the uproar about?

What is wrong with these things?!

We're nothing...

but an obstacle to them?

I don't want to die! I don't want to die!

Kanae-san!

Thanks, little pigeon!

It's all right... No one's died yet...

Not a single person...

That's not true.

They're close.

It's almost time, huh?

I ordered Seras and the others to hide in a cave we found along the way.

That just leaves...

Here we go!

This spot should be good.

You'll be the one to signal the start of battle, Piggymaru.

Go for it.

Glad you've all got such good hearing.

Taking the bait like damned honest fools...

From here on, it's going to be a high-speed chase.

No telling if I'll survive this.

Depending on the strength of those human-faced beasts,

I could be done for.

Still, I can't afford to let my worry show.

Sorry, you two.

Will you put your lives in my hands?

Hmm?

Yeah, you're right.

Let me rephrase.

Will you put your lives in my hands for their sake?

Assault Accel!

Inflict Paralysis, Paralyze

Inflict Poison, Poison

Inflict Sleep, Sleep

Inflict Frozen, Freeze

Inflict Darkness, Dark

Inflict Rage, Berserk

Now...

Let's wage this all-out war!

It can't be...

Yasu-kun.

Oh, it's you, Ayaka?

Hirooka-kun and Sakuma-kun

were part of your group, right?

Weren't you with them?

We should be prioritizing the safety of higher-ranking heroes like me.

We can't afford to have our best talent taking unnecessary damage here.

So it goes without saying that this was their fault for being slow to flee.

I-It goes without saying...?

You didn't do anything when the stampede of monsters appeared?!

What are you trying to say, Ayaka?

Y-You're A-Class!

Yes, and?

Don't you feel a duty to protect the classmates in your group?!

The students under you are relying on you.

So you need to protect them!

Yasu-kun, you were the only one there who could have...

Sh-Sh-Sh...

Shut up!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

Shut your mouth, Ayaka!

Huh?

Wh-What is your problem?!

Why are you still acting like you're so much better than me?!

Why're you so condescending?!

Where's your sense of hierarchy?!

Face facts already!

Wh-What are you talking about?

There, there, there! That's it, yes!

That's how you always are, Sogou Ayaka!

You aren't even consciously aware of it most of the time!

You just naturally look down on others!

Hold on!

I was saying you should have protected them—

Not my problem!

I survived because I was strong!

They died because they were weak!

It's as simple as that!

The strong have a responsibility to shield those without—

There, see?!

Ayaka, you so naturally speak like you're one of the strong!

That's what I'm talking about!

This noblesse oblige crap!

You always act like a saint while looking down on others!

Constantly flaunting the difference between us without intending to be mean!

For starters, both Hirooka and Sakuma deserved to die anyway!

When shitty, weak, little Mimori got sent to hell,

they were the first to dog on him!

They constantly made fun of me behind my back too!

You reap what you sow!

Or what?

Does Miss Class President who's been blessed from birth

think I should feel sorry for them too?!

You're such a nobody.

Kirihara!

Yasu, do you know what they say about the measure of a man?

Everyone has an inborn caliber,

and it's only after you make it that people know if you truly measure up.

If you don't, then your success will only be temporary.

Are you following me?

What are you trying to say?

You even react like a nobody, Yasu.

Take a hint.

What could I possibly mean other than that you're drastically beneath me?

You proved you were a nobody

when you forgot your flimsy act and lost it in front of Sogou.

There's no excuse for a nobody like you.

Holding power beyond your lowly station

will have you disgracing yourself before you know it.

Tremendous power should be wielded by none other than those with royal caliber, like me.

Though I pity you a little for getting the wrong idea

after being deemed A-Class.

Screw you, Kirihara!

Laevateinn!

Yasu-kun!

Huh?

Why're you blowing your lid and snapping on us?

So you're truly an irredeemable nobody, Yasu Tomohiro?

Don't get it twisted just because you're S-Class.

You're the one who needs to take a hint, Kirihara Takuto!

There's still a hero who hasn't learned a unique skill despite being S-Class,

even when all the other S-Class heroes have theirs already.

See? Ayaka herself is proof.

And then there's Asagi, who's learned a unique skill

Huh?!

that surpasses Oyamada's at A-Class, despite the fact that she's B-Class!

You understand what I'm trying to say, right?

In other words, our hero rank isn't everything.

So assuming you're above us just because you're S-Class...

is what a nobody getting the wrong idea really looks like!

Eventually I'll show you which of us

is truly of royal caliber, you dumb bastard.

Why, you...

Stop it, Shougo.

Why?!

You're not gonna tell me you're scared of him, are you?

Huh?

Oh, er, um... My bad.

Hmph. You're the nobodies.

I may be forced to admit there's someone dragging down

the rest of us S-Class heroes.

You need to understand the position you're in already, Sogou.

I guess I need to demonstrate my caliber

I guess I need to demonstrate my caliber

I guess I need to demonstrate my caliber

so that even you dense fools can grasp it......

so that even you dense fools can grasp it.

I'm...

Asagi, I don't see the little pigeon.

What, really?

Well, she'll find her way back.

Yeah.

She's missing? Kashima-san's gone?

Failure Frame

I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells

I'll go after Tooka.

Huh?

Please tell me your reasoning.

There were too many monsters.

Even with his stat adjustments, they're not everything.

More importantly, Tooka's not in peak condition.

Ever since we hit the Land of Monsters,

he's gotten the least sleep of all of us.

I'm guessing he's been periodically using "Sleep" on the rest of us,

all so we can slumber soundly here in the Land of Monsters.

Sir Tooka has been sacrificing his own rest since entering this land

in order to bolster our hope.

Thanks to that, we've managed to make it to the heartland.

I wasn't just talking a big game before we parted ways.

Hiding my presence and maneuvering in this kind of terrain is my forte.

I also have night vision when it gets dark,

so I don't need to worry about a light giving my position away.

I have sharp ears as ell.

I can tell those aren't baseless lies to make me feel better.

Moreover...

if Tooka or Slei are badly wounded,

I'm the only one who can carry them.

We cannot afford to lose that man here.

I understand you're not acting based on rash sentiments.

I thank you.

Forgive me.

Hmm?

With Sir Tooka absent,

I believe it's my duty to make decisions for the safety of our group.

So I'm sorry for testing you like that.

You truly are fond of that man, aren't you?

Yes.

I have devoted myself to him, after all.

Big Sis?

Be sure you listen to Seras, okay?

Please take care of Sir Tooka.

I'm sorry, Lis.

Please promise me this. Promise that you'll return alive.

Of course. I'm entrusting Lis to you, Seras.

I'll do whatever it takes to protect her.

Whatever it takes, huh?

Perhaps that's Tooka's influence showing as well.

Okay, I'm heading out.

Wherever I fire, I'm bound to hit one of them.

So my first move...

is to spread out.

Do it!

Berserk!

That only scrambled them for a moment?

They switch gears too damn fast.

Choosing to kill over being killed...

Choosing to fight for survival...

Paralyze!

My surprise attack only stalled them for a few seconds, buying me no time.

Also, the human-faced beasts in the front that are adapting to my tentacle attacks

are still alive and well.

The stampede of monsters lured you in too, huh?

Piggymaru, Slei!

Can you still keep going?

The rain's dampening sounds.

I can't follow them with just my ears now.

Can't say visibility's good either.

Status: Open.

Combining with Piggymaru is essential to this battle.

However, at the rate things are going,

I can only keep this up ten more minutes.

To stay in the game, I'll have to level up.

The human-faced beasts are worth a ton of EXP.

As long as I can keep killing them and keep leveling up...

No, that's definitely too reckless.

Plus, if I'm not within a certain range, then I don't get any EXP when they die.

That means I'll have to double back the way we came.

If I say I've got this, will you two follow me?

Truly...

I am truly blessed with allies.

Here we go!

I need to keep track of how far I can earn EXP in this quasi-localized war.

It's the only way for us to fight and survive.

Paralyze! Berserk!

I have plenty of MP.

Now we just try to kill each other.

Two huge-ass monsters are on my tail.

Sleep!

My status ailment skill

requires me to have them in my line of sight in order to affect them.

Kill and slaughter, kill and slaughter...

I can't...

I know.

I'm not like Sogou-san.

All I could do was hide and watch when they did that to Mimori-kun too.

Even so, I wanted to be useful.

I wanted to be able to care for others even in awful moments like Sogou-san...

But I'm scared!

I'm going to die!

What's a human doing in a place like this?

They're similar.

Lightning Shifter, Unlock One.

Unlock Stage One

Hey, you—

Unlock Two.

Unlock Stage Two

Not only did you react to Stage One, you withstood the damn blow...

But you can't escape my lightning now.

My throat... I can't speak...

Sorry.

On my sister's orders, I can't let you kill Kashima.

Itsuki-san...

I see. These girls are...

Tooka told me about them.

They're the ones summoned by the goddess to defeat the source of evil...

The heroes from another world!
