In a different world, in a different era,

a legendary story is unraveling within a parallel universe.

Our adventurers have gathered from their various stations in life

to embark on a brand new journey within this fantasy zone.

A similar party once set off to slay a dragon

and free a princess in distress.

A different party boarded a ship to find great treasure resting in the sea.

And yet another party

ventured to win eternal glory by solving a mystery set forth by a god.

Now, I would love to tell you the tale of one such party.

But as of this moment, they lack a mission.

The Happy-go-lucky Adventurers

Live eviL Fansubs Presents

I can't believe I put you in charge of our finances.

Can't you do basic math?

Hear me out, Trapp!

They gave us breakfast even after I declined.

Who wouldn't think it was on the house?

Back me up here, Clay!

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Too easy! You're too easy on her!

What sort of inn would hand out breakfast for free?

If you weren't such a pushover of a leader,

we wouldn't have had to borrow money!

Wait, it's not Clay's fault.

The loan is my responsibility.

I KNOW that, Pastel!

You don't need to point out every little obvious thing!

You sure have a lousy sense of direction for a Mapper.

You could at least make up for it with some proper financial sense.

Hey! If it isn't an adventurer!

Have I got the scenario for you!

It's got action that'll knock your socks off!

You can't call yourself a man if you pass it up!

What a bum.

I've got a great scenario here! You should buy it!

Oh, it's you.

Hey, you're in charge of our finances. Figure something out.

All right.

Oshi, I came here to ask you a favor.

Oh, Pastel. You shoulda told me you're here to buy a scenario.

Let's see… For your party, I would recommend…

U-Umm…

Here's the one!

“Search for the Giant Ruby.”

Priced at 1980 gold.

It's defended by water horses…

It's a good deal.

Actually, Oshi, the truth is…

What is it now?

You don't have the money? Geez, this is a really good deal.

Well then, on the cheaper side, I've got…

This!

“Crystal Slime Hunting in Zulmakaran Desert.”

A perfect mission for a confident adventurer.

And you can have it for the low, low price of 500 gold!

That's not it, Oshi…

There's no scenario cheaper than that!

The truth is we went completely bust.

Oh man.

We're in the red. We took a loan.

Took a loan!

Please, Oshi? We'll pay you for the scenario when we return!

I only accept cold, hard cash.

But we have history!

I never trust the words of adventurers.

Oshi!

I got this.

Weren't you called Oshi the Gambler back in Silverleave?

Care to make a wager?

Wager?

You normally never see a penny from the riches

that people find during your scenarios, right?

So here's the deal.

If you give us the scenario for free,

we'll give you ten percent of any treasure we find.

Sounds good.

Yes!

However, ten percent is an insult.

I'll do it for fifty percent.

Drats.

You got some nerve trying to take half our riches when you aren't the one

who's risking his neck!

Fine, then the deal's off.

All right. I'll give in. Twenty-five percent.

What a waste. I thought we were getting somewhere.

One third!

Hit the road already.

Fine! Forty percent!

You're twisting my arm here!

I submit to your superior will.

Ah! I'm too kind!

Kind, my ass.

This is a scenario for an adventure that no one's ever undertaken before.

Thank you, Oshi!

But before I hand it to you…

You guys borrowed money, right?

It's not wise to go on an adventure while you're in debt.

Well, have I got the perfect job for you all.

What?!

Job?

Why do adventurers like us have to go all the way to Heelnint

to bring back water from the hot spring?!

Damn that Oshi!

Well, Oshi does have a point.

We'll be able to be 100% devoted to the new adventure

if we have our debt paid off.

I'm fine just not paying it back at all.

And that's why you're an irresponsible person.

Uh—

You're the irresponsible one!

You calculate our finances when you have no idea what you're doing!

You couldn't even get a scenario from Oshi!

Not to mention, you're our Mapper, when you have no sense of direction.

Geez…

Trapp!

It's because the rest of you guys let her get away with it!

Why, I oughta—

You guys are adventurers, right?

We are.

What's your average level?

Who are you anyway? It's rude to just start asking questions!

Me?

This is who I am.

“You lead the adventure!!” Vice Director of Pultonican Life, Eplin Branch: Hyu Oshi

“You lead the adventure.”

“Hyu Oshi”?

Maybe that means he's related to Oshi the scenario salesman?

You got it!

I don't know what your party's deal is, but you are adventurers, right?

What does “adventure” mean?

To help others while improving oneself.

An adventure is an all-or-nothing gamble.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you… die.

die.

Die?! I thought we just get injured.

Bingo. That's it.

Have a gander at this.

During adventures, 99.7% of the time someone gets injured.

That's more or less 100%, right?

And that's where we come in!

People called out for our help when they were beaten to a pulp.

So that's how we came up with the Pultonican Special Series.

Yes, all insurance providers give you money when the policy matures.

But only a tiny amount, after you've long forgotten about it.

However! This is where the Pultonican Special stands out from the pack!

When you're injured and low in spirits…

Pow! We send you tons of cash!

Pow! Pow!

So how 'bout it?

My gramps said if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

You look pretty smart. Wanna try it out?

It does sound enticing…

Kitton…

Hey, I'm sorry about this, but we can't get insurance.

Oh, honey, no one would ever set off on an adventure without any money.

Actually, we're not setting off on an adventure right now.

We're actually on a job! We have a debt to repay.

Bah. Well that was a waste of fifteen minutes.

What was that all about?

Who knows.

Shall we take a break?

Pastel, is there a suitable place to rest around here?

There should be a fountain up ahead…

Huh? Where is it?

So you have no sense of direction and you can't read a map.

Keep your comments to yourself!

It just mixes me up even more.

Mixes me up!

Help!

Help us!

Let's retreat.

Huh?

Hey! Wait for me!

So this is what it means to be “surrounded.”

Kitton! Don't act so pleased!

Deep within the woods...

On plains stretching as far as the eye can see...

In a brutal desert underneath a burning sun...

Locus asks you to drive the speed limit, for safety.

No matter the scene, have fun being in full control.
