Sands of Destruction (ワールド・デストラクション ～世界撲滅の六人～)

There are two kinds of heroes...

Those who save the world...

and those who save single individuals.

Word on the street is those cretins from

the World Destruction Committee are

hiding somewhere here in town...

So instead of sitting here and drinking the day away

like some two-bit bum, why don't you try

and save the world by rounding those dirt-bags up?

I'm not that kind of hero.

I leave saving the world to others...

Know what I mean, kuma?

Hmph.

World Destruction Committee?

They're the one's who destroy

everything in their path, right?

Hey come on wake up, new kid...!

Go Serve that plate before the food gets cold.

Eh, right!

Hey, what the heck is this?

I ask for the sand shark eggs and this is what you give me?!

That's all the sand shark we got 'cause they

haven't been catching much lately.

Now stop complaining and eat!

You'd think the world's coming to an end...

The world could end tomorrow for all I care.

It's not like it has anything to do with me.

Here you are, ma'am. Stewed sand jellyfish.

You need anything else?

What's this?

It's the stewed sand jellyfish, just like you ordered...

I ordered the whale.

This isn't what I ordered.

I wanted whale, not jellyfish.

Ugh...

That a problem?

No... I'll fix it right away!

You don't see pretty girls like yourself

in dives like this these days.

I take it you aren't from around these parts,

are ya, missy? So where're you from?

Tell me, what brings you to our fair town?

I'm sure you're not thinking of

getting aboard the Jifnil right?

Because if you are you better not get your hopes up...

With all the rumors going around about

the World Destruction Committee being in town,

the Jifnil isn't even gonna coming to port.

It's not worth the risk for them.

Okay, here's your sand whale.

Sorry about the wait ma'am.

Well, anyway, now that you're in town,

maybe you and I should go get...

I don't think so.

I'd like to eat my food now.

And I would prefer to do it alone.

Everyone freeze! Don't move!

We're with the World Salvation Committee...

All we ask for is your full cooperation.

Hey you...! What part of don't move

did you not understand...? Get back here! Now!

You are so annoying...

I wish you people would just let things go.

Especially since I spent all my money on this food!

It's... it's you!

I knew it! She's with the World Destruction Committee!

Careful now...! If you take one more step...

the beastman'll get it right in the throat!

Come with me.

Hey, don't be so rough! You're gonna cut me!

Uh...

Fire!

Hey...! Wait for me!

Hmm. Sounds like those rumors about

the World Destruction Committee were true after all.

What do you want...?

Look, I don't let humans in here

and besides this really isn't any kinda place

for someone your age, kid.

My name's Cain.

I just came over from the Cat Master's Manor.

And I heard that there's a Hero's Guild detective

in town who is willing to work for anyone,

as long as they've got money he'll work for

beastmen or humans.

Hmmm.

Please sir, help me...!

I beg you! Save my sister!

If no one helps her she'll be sacrificed to

the God of the Sand Sea!

Sire, we just received word that

the World Destruction Committee has been spotted

somewhere in the town below.

They somehow found a way to evade the

World Salvation Committee forces and have escaped.

So you mean to tell me that they're still on the run?!

You don't suppose they're on their way here

to take down the castle, do you?!

There's no need to worry, sire.

Our castle's defenses are impenetrable.

I knew it! Fortune has forsaken our land!

Fishing in the Sand Sea has never been worse,

and now the World Salvation Committee is here...!

It must be punishment from the God of the Sand Sea

for neglecting him for so long!

Alright... there's no time to waste.

The only way out of this predicament is to

offer a sacrifice to the God of the Sand Sea

as soon as possible!

Meow, sir!

So what's your story anyway?

Why in the world would a human work at a beastmen's café...?

Not to mention you almost turning us into swiss cheese.

You're blaming me for that?

Look, I needed work so I fooled the beastmen

and got a nice job that included room and board.

So you infiltrated the café to carry out

some sort of clandestine mission?

I just needed a job...

You may find this hard to believe but most of

us real people need to work to make a living...

Plus beastmen places are known to pay a heck of lot more.

What?! Just for work...?

Do you have any idea what they would

do to you if they found out you were human?

Oh yeah, thanks. You took care of that one for me...

Morte.

How do you know my name? Tell me.

It was written there on the wanted poster in the café.

Fugitive wanted for crimes, Morte Urshela, age seventeen--

I'm sixteen! There's a big difference between

sixteen and seventeen, you dope!

What the heck's she so bent out of shape for?

I'd be more worried they know my name than messing up my age.

You should know better than to believe everything

the World Salvation Committee tells you.

You're so naïve.

Anyway, you were...

Kyrie!

My name is Kyrie Illnis.

Actually I wasn't asking for your name but whatever.

So what is the World Destruction Committee anyway?

How should I know...?

Those jerks just stuck that label on me

and have been chasing me around ever since.

By those jerks you mean

the World Salvation Committee?

Right... But to be honest, at this point

I'm glad they gave me such a cool title.

It really packs a punch, don'tcha think...?

The World Destruction Committee.

Oh, hi!

Who are you guys? Humans?

Uh... Um, we are... we're...

We're just wanderers. Yeah.

Just passing through.

You didn't happen to see a young boy

named Cain, did you?

You see, he's my little brother.

Sorry, we haven't seen anyone.

Linan.

What are you doing here, Linan?

Oh, hi Elder...

I can't find Cain anywhere, so I went looking for him.

Who are these two?

I've never seen them around the village.

They said they're wanderers.

You're traveling somewhere?

That's right. Uh, but we're friendly though.

Nothing to be suspicious of.

The sun will be down soon.

You two are more than welcome

to spend the night in our village.

That was good.

I'm starting to feel kinda sleepy

now that my belly's all full.

So, uh... you gonna finish that?

In that case I'll take that sand jellyfish stew

off your hands.

So... you got any plans for the foreseeable future?

No, not really... The café's in complete shambles

and I've now been outed as a human so...

now I have no place to go.

Are You gonna eat that soy-glazed jellyfish?

I can't stand sand jellyfish.

Oh great!

I know what I can do...

I should ask that Village Elder if I can stay here with them...

They seem like nice enough people...

You know, you should consider doing the same thing.

As soon as I'm rested I'm getting out of here.

But where do you plan on going?

Somewhere I can destroy the world.

You are kidding, right?

No, I'm not.

But if you destroy the world,

the beastmen wouldn't be the only one's to die.

Humans would too.

Beastmen, humans, they're all the same to me...

The only thing I'm interested in is smashing this
