HOTEL
Hey.
How long have you been watching? I locked the door!
It's high time you give back my jacket.
You gave it to me, so it's mine. I don't intend to give it back, ever.
What a greedy little rat. You leave me no choice.
Regsuuld stagga.
Don't move.
What--
I can't believe I have to pry it off of you.
Damn it. My magic is in the way.
Why not release me for a second?
Great idea.
Released.
You are so easy to trick! You brainless idiot, you trusting fool--
-Isn't she horrible? -Yeah.
Why won't he let her have the jacket?
And she's a thief too.
Her greed is bottomless.
She kept my jacket, but she gave me this in exchange.
But what am I supposed to do with such a skimpy outfit?
Well, do you know any woman who'd like it?
Why do I have to wear such a revealing dress?
It looks great on you.
Does it?
Elf wore many dresses in this style. Sure reminds me of her.
I can't believe I'm actually missing the other world.
It looks like it costs a fortune.
Does it?
-Then I want to try it on. -Why?
UNCLE: YOU'RE FINE THE WAY YOU ARE
GET HOME
SOLD CHEAPER THAN A SCOURING PAD
After thorough consideration,
the translation ability I acquired after arriving in Another World
will hereby be known as
Wild Talker!
ALMIGHTY TALKER
Thank you for the suggestion, Takafumi.
-Yay. -Nice going.
MULTILINGUAL
At least, we were able to veto his idea.
For some reason, I detest his idea.
But what triggers Wild Talker?
This isn't good.
Sorry, I have a few things to do on campus today.
You have a lecture on a Saturday?
It's more of an errand.
See you.
Look closely. Approach the enemy like so.
See that?
Lure the monster into the pit, and it dies quickly.
Right.
By the way, Uncle. What's this?
Don't you know SEGA GENESIS?
I bought it with the ad revenue we've made.
Really.
These are the games that saved me in Another World.
Icuras elran.
A village was about to get pillaged by a goblin horde.
I joined another group of adventurers
to deal justice to the vile creatures.
How is this a team up?
Hold on, let me fast-forward it.
Don't come near me.
Damn you, mutated goblin!
Alicia, run!
-I'm not a goblin. -What?
I'm not an orc.
I remember you from the overwinter thanksgiving festival.
Right, you surrounded me as soon as I entered the village.
-I'm not an orc. -Were you there then?
-Yes, though we lost pretty badly. -But your face…
SWORDSMAN, EDGAR - HOLY MAGE, ALICIA - FIGHTER, RAIGA
Team up with him? Hell no, he obviously sides with the goblins.
Right. He may not be an orc, but he's closer to a monster than a man.
Excuse us.
We were assigned a mission to save Dordo Village from a horde of goblins.
Can you lend us a hand? We'll reward you--
-I accept. -What?
-What?
Oh, so you will!
Shouldn't we hurry?
Yes!
There's an army of them.
This isn't what we signed up for.
Don't worry. I've won fights like this many times.
I have an idea. Leave this to me.
Hey, come at me!
Come on! Bring it!
Uncle.
Keep watching. My plan to push them off the cliff failed for some reason…
For some reason?
In Golden Axe, there's a powerful move called the Death Stab which can be dealt
by a dash, jump and attack combo.
It's a hard move to land.
-What a leap! -Is that wind magic?
You missed every single time.
Like I said, it's a hard move to land.
By using a move inspired from Golden Axe,
I eliminated an entire horde of goblins.
That's nonsense!
Golden Axe had nothing to do with your victory.
If anything, it screwed up the battle.
Takafumi, as you can see,
SEGA games are very helpful in life!
Stop dragging SEGA into this, you'll cause them problems!
After we won, we headed to the village to collect our reward.
You aren't half bad!
Are you sure you only want a fourth of the prize money?
Yes. I'd hate to get ambushed again for being greedy.
Edgar laughed!
Uncle, you made friends!
Sorry to bring this up.
But you restructured the barrier protecting the Sealed City Luvaldram.
So you saw me.
Have you told anyone?
No one would believe me even if I did.
I won't lie that your appearance strikes fear,
-but you are like the legendary hero-- -Icuras cuora.
What? Why?
-We trusted you! -Icuras cuora.
Was this the last you saw of them?
No, I ran into them again.
Looking back on it, on our third encounter,
I was suddenly able to communicate with a beast.
Really, with a beast?
It could be that something activated Wild Talker.
Divine power, aid my friends!
They aren't beasts!
Don't hold back!
Damn, his shield is too powerful!
-Didn't we just see this? -Not there. Fast forwarding.
I remember you.
The entire village surrounded you during the thanksgiving festival,
but we were defeated.
That's right. I'm not an orc.
Is this deja vu?
It's the same conversation because their memories were erased.
I'm Raiga.
-And I'm Alicia. -Edgar here.
I am Tenma Kuroki.
Good to meet you all.
-Another cringey pseudonym? -Kuroki?
So what are you doing here?
A beast has built a nest inside the ancient shrine.
We're on a quest to slay it, but it's too ferocious.
What kind of beast is it?
It's a deadly quilled beast. Have you heard of hedgehogs?
It's a human-sized version of that.
That sounds awfully like Sonic--
It curls up into a spiky ball, and we can't kill it.
Don't kill it!
What?
Why does it fight in the first place?
Find out why it's aggressive,
and you may even be able to avoid the fight!
Find out why?
Dimwit. It already wreaked havoc, we don't have any other choice.
There it is!
Sonic!
What are you?
As you can see, hedgehogs in Another World look nothing like ours.
They aren't blue, and they are slow.
What?
HEDGEHOG
I'm not sure about that.
And then I began speaking with it.
Beast, why do you prey on humans?
Did they drive you out of your habitat?
Or did they trespass on your territory?
Perhaps you only want to protect your young.
Did humans kill your family?
Tell me!
I, I don't want to kill you!
-I can understand it. -What?
I can understand its language!
HUMAN MEAT IS DISGUSTING.
Then why kill them?
I ENJOY INFLICTING PAIN WITH MY NEEDLES.
Right.
THEIR DYING SCREAMS ARE MUSIC TO MY EARS.
I TOYED WITH THEM AS THEY DIED.
Baraibhut folg bastohl.
There you have it, we communicated.
Perhaps Wild Talker activates
when I am genuinely interested in understanding someone.
Right.
Uncle is ruthless when he's forced to engage.
Wow, this is unbelievable.
So what was the beast saying?
Enough about that. I heard there's a hero near here.
Have you heard anything?
A hero?
Elf mentioned something about a hero the other day too.
MIFUYU FUJIMIYA - CELL PHONE
Fujimiya forgot her phone. I'll go find her.
Can't it wait till tomorrow?
Going out without a phone is like playing video games without a controller.
That's terrible! Let's go!
Flying feels nice, Uncle!
It sure does.
But the wind stings in the winter. We'll take the train then.
Let's see. She should be around here.
There she is.
PHOENIX FIRE ANNIHILATION
Takafumi, I'm just going to watch. You go deal with it.
I know.
I'll go see if he's all right. She's my friend, after all.
A friend, huh?
-Let me down where no one can see. -Wait.
Let's ask the spirits for a little help.
Hello, spirits! Thanks for all of your help!
I'm Shibazaki. I run the YouTube channel, Uncle from Another World.
Now, you'll be able to cast the same spells that I can.
At least for the next hour.
Wow! Thanks, Uncle!
Takafumi, what if that man is a decent fellow?
If he is, then I'll leave things to her.
-I see. -If he's scum, I'll obliterate him.
-What? -His memory, I mean.
Oh, sure.
Let's go spend a night at the beach!
No, thanks.
Why not? Remember the trip to the hot springs last year?
I'm busy.
-You kept me up all night on that trip. -Fujimiya.
Why are you here?
Who's this guy?
You forgot your phone.
Oh, thanks.
-What's your problem? -Chiaki?
-Who-- -It's me, Takafumi. Don't you remember me?
Ta…
Takafumi, is that you, bro?
-Yeah. -How long has it been?
You've grown a ton. I didn't recognize you at all!
I hit a growth spurt in high school. You've grown too, Chiaki.
-Are you in fourth grade now? -Yep!
I'm here to shoot a YouTube video with my sister!
-Hi, Uncle. -You have a YouTube channel?
-Holy crap. Is he your younger brother? -Yeah! I even hit 50 views!
I hear kids nowadays hit puberty early, but he's as tall as any adult.
I know. Chiaki!
He's the YouTuber I told you about.
No way!
Hello, kid! I'm Uncle from Another World's Uncle!
Never heard of your channel.
Do you live-stream games?
Well, yes.
I've streamed Guardian Heroes on SEGA SATURN the other day.
What? Never heard of it.
Is that a popular game YouTubers stream?
Actually, yes.
Plenty of YouTubers play it.
-You looked tense at first. -Another channel's mentioned mine too.
I didn't recognize Chiaki from afar.
I thought maybe he was your boyfriend.
What? I don't have a boyfriend!
It'd be no surprise if you did. You are very pretty.
You were gearing up for a fight as if he was flirting.
I thought he was toying with you.
I lost my temper.
Yeah, as if.
What would you have done if he was scum?
Well, you know--
Spirit of light--
No, let's try something different.
Optic camouflage.
Wow, I'm invisible!
Project illusions.
Are these holograms?
Casting instant teleport.
I swear, look it up.
Uncle let me borrow his spells.
I wasn't too worried about fighting.
I didn't know magic could be lent out like this.
-You got the hang of it fast. -Yeah.
I've thought through how I'd fight enemies with magic in our world.
Magic's biggest weakness is it takes too long to recite spells.
It's no good if you get shot before you finish casting a spell.
I thought it'd be possible to use simple spells
without saying "spirit of wind" or "spirit of water"
if I spoke a short phrase instead.
Looks like I was on the right track.
I couldn't care less.
Don't get used to magic.
It can bite you in the ass one day.
We don't live in a storybook.
Didn't something like this happen when we were in grade school?
Yeah?
You intervened when I was getting picked on by older kids.
I remember now.
You got shoved.
No, that didn't happen.
Did I get it wrong?
Let's just watch it.
Memory playback.
This is the sixth graders' area.
Why don't you act your age then?
With all your whining, you sound like the brat here.
Shut your trap, ugly!
Ouch! That really hurt!
Moriyan, are you okay?
Did you get an owie? Next hit.
Are you hurt, Sumika?
Takafumi.
You guys are so mean! Don't push a girl!
They pushed you, right?
Are you in pain?
No, I'm okay.
Your face is red.
I'm fine, really.
I can carry you.
Was I the perpetrator?
I had completely misunderstood the situation.
Guess so.
But…
you really made me smile.
You always come to my aid, then and now.
Fujimii!
Sawa!
What? Who is he?
Good to meet you.
I'm her longtime friend, Takafumi Takaoka.
Takafumi, good to meet you.
I'm Sawae. We've been friends since high school.
I go by Sawa though.
Wow.
You know,
Fujimii's grown much cuter in the last six months.
A lot of guys want to get with her.
Who are they? I know, just give me their numbers.
Tell me all their names. Don't be shy.
That's quite sudden.
Stop it! What are you going to do with their numbers?
I won't do a thing.
After all, if they can't remember, it's not like I'm hurting them.
You're on a real power trip, aren't you?
Well, male college students are less like people,
and more like insects that need to be crushed.
They'll try to take Fujimiya home after the freshmen welcoming party.
-Then they'll take videos and leak them-- -Don't get unhinged
with your twisted Internet ideas!
CHIAKI
Oh, no. I left Chiaki.
Sorry, Sawa. I have to take my brother home!
Sure. See you later.
What's with him?
I hope Fujimii's safe with him.
I took Chiaki home.
Did you two figure out what triggers Wild Talker?
Apparently, it's direct communication while under immense pressure.
Up till now, the skill has only been activated when Uncle was desperate.
What about when you spoke with a spirit when you first woke up from your coma?
Oh, that.
Takafumi held the welfare paperwork, and I felt my life was over.
I was desperate. I thought if I didn't impress him with magic, he'd leave me.
You were ready to jump ship too.
Anyway, about the hero. Right, Uncle?
That's right. We were in the middle of the playback.
What? Did you find the hero?
Not yet, but she's close by.
Icuras elran.
Alicia and her friends know about the hero.
This is their third encounter, but Uncle erased their memories from last time.
Enough about that. I heard there's a hero near here.
Have you heard anything?
About that.
Edgar, lend me your sword.
Why?
Just let me have it.
I am the destined hero, the…
Alicia Edelcia, a divine hero.
