A Wild Last Boss Appeared! (野生のラスボスが現れた!)

Mistress Lufas?

Are you all right?

Yes, we were just having a bit of a dream.

Riding in Tanaka is comfortable, and we dozed off.

What kind of dream?

We feel like it was an oddly important dream,

but we can't remember.

I see.

Are we still a long way off from Vanaheim?

Yes. It's still quite a distance from here.

One of the Twelve Heavenly Stars, Parthenos the Maiden.

I'll have to retrieve her once we find her.

That reminds me, where did the heaven-winged go after Parthenos drove them out of Vanaheim?

The heaven-winged are currently living in Gjallarhorn.

It was founded by one of the Seven Heroes, Merak, the Sky King.

Oh, the royal capital of Gjallarhorn is coming into view now.

A nation of heaven-winged?

I feel like it would definitely be bad for me to go there.

But if Merak's there, then that's a different story.

One of the surviving Seven Heroes who once enjoyed the game with me...

It wasn't true for Megrez,

but perhaps Merak is another player like me.

Hmm...

Yes.

Recovering Parthenos is important,

but meeting the surviving Seven Heroes is another goal of my journey.

Tanaka, we'll be stopping in Gjallarhorn.

Yes, Boss.

GJALLARHORN

EPISODE 7 / I WAS... A SAVIOR! - So this is Gjallarhorn?

EPISODE 7 / I WAS... A SAVIOR! - What an odd city.

The buildings are constructed along the cliff-side.

It looks incredibly difficult to walk around.

And why is it so plainly segregated into black and white?

It would seem this nation is suffering a bit of civil turmoil

- after splitting into two factions. - Factions?

Yes. The long-standing White-Wing Supremacists take pride in their pure white wings

and refuse to acknowledge any others.

The Mixed-Wing Proponents oppose them.

Civil turmoil?

What is Merak doing?

Merak is maintaining neutrality and trying to stop both sides from fighting,

but he hasn't been able to control them.

So he's incompetent.

Libra, you shouldn't say things like that.

The heaven-winged are a race that values pure-white wings,

so there was always a tendency for the white-winged to persecute the colored-winged.

But during Lady Lufas's reign,

such persecution and discrimination was prohibited, right?

That's correct, Sir Aries!

Really? I don't recall issuing any orders like that.

Once Lady Lufas was gone,

the white-winged insisted, "We were the superior ones all along!"

and the mixed-winged who opposed them demanded equal rights.

They've been fighting for the last two centuries!

You mean persecution against the mixed-winged grew stronger

because someone dangerous like me came from them?!

We must do something about this.

The average lifespan of a heaven-winged is fifteen hundred years.

So, naturally, many of them would still remember Lufas.

It's a bit simplistic, but this should disguise me somewhat.

So, Lady Lufas,

whom shall we go to?

Let's go to the black side.

Master prefers black. Saving that.

From now on, I shall select black underwear.

What on earth are you talking about?

I'm referring to the color of your clothing, Master.

- Or would you prefer I wear it? - No, forget it.

I see, you prefer white. Quite conservative.

No, that's not what this is about.

Then you believe in going without underwear!

Her thoughts are all mixed up.

Is she still broken?

Right, these are the stairs

that lead to the city.

This is real inconvenient for those of us who can't fly.

Please rest assured, I shall carry everyone.

Program Selection.

Activating Skill: Sky Jet.

Hey! Wait!

Libra, stop! Stop!

Cut it out!

Stop!

Honestly, so noisy.

- I wonder what they're up to? - Who's that?

- That was an incredible noise. - Who's that?

That was bad, Libra.

You can't make such noise this late at night.

We've safely arrived in the city.

I concluded there would be no issues.

Your conclusions are incorrect!

We're sorry for disturbing you so late at night!

We're free traders.

I'm sorry for waking you all with our minor blunder.

Uhh, same here, I'm Aries.

Sfalu.

We're sorry for the nuisance we caused.

I'm the golem guarding these three.

My name is Copernicus the 4th.

I wish we had a straight man who could handle her!

Oh, you're all merchants?

That was a novel way to enter the city.

You don't have to force yourself to praise us, old man!

You must be tired from your long journey.

My family runs an inn.

If you'd like, please swing on by.

What should we do...?

Thank you very much!

Again with you?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I know I've warned you many times not to injure the neighborhood kids!

But Father!

They were the ones who struck first!

They threw stones at me, so I just—

Silence! You filthy, useless brat!

Our clan is suffering because you were born!

Fa—

Don't ever leave this place again.

All hail Alovenus, the Goddess of Love!

Dammit!

Mother!

You should be resting in bed!

Coming here will get you scolded too!

Lufas.

Eat this.

Thank you!

I'm sorry.

That you have to face this.

Mother!

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm all right!

Thank you, Lufas.

Yes!

Hey!

Why did you let her out?!

I-I'm sorr—

Leave her and get over here!

Stop.

Don't hurt Mother!

Mother!

Your mother is ill because of you!

- Come! - Lufas!

Lufas!

Lufas!

Why do I have to be treated like this?

Is it just because my wings are a different color?

Why is this world so unfair?!

Why do we have to suffer so much?!

Some grand Goddess of Creation!

Some Goddess of Love!

If she actually exists,

then why is this world full of such inequality?!

There is no goddess.

No one is going to save me!

So I'll...

just have to...

save myself!

I want to get stronger.

I'm still weak and inexperienced...

but one day...

I'll take Mother away

and escape from this miserable life.

So!

I have to get strong enough

to mow down

all the unfairness and inequality

in this world!

Master Lufas?

Are you all right?

We just had a dream of the past.

Of the past?

Yes.

You needn't worry.

I don't recall creating that kind of backstory for her in the game.
