Skeleton Knight in Another World (骸骨騎士様、只今異世界へお出掛け中)

Shia! The view up here is amazing, as usual!

Brother! Don't be rude to the customers! You're supposed to talk to them!

As you can see, I have successfully scaled the clock tower!

What a sight.

It's amazing!

Here you go, miss.

That was a good show.

Well, that was impressive.

I could never let my son do something like that.

What is this?

"Alcoholic hybrid cuisine, where just eating it can can get you drunk"?

Ponta?!

Hello there. It's me, Arc.

This lively little burg is called Hoban.

We've come here at the request of Sir Danka.

Some force in the Hoban territory of the Rhoden Kingdom

has been kidnapping humans, elves, and beastmen. They have no regard for race.

I'd like you to head to deal with it, immediately.

Hoban is strategically valuable in that it's the one town that trades with elves,

along with being an important hub between the royal capital of Olav and Limbult.

It seems elves really do get to walk about unharassed in this human town.

What a sight.

I guess Princess Yuriarna's made it easier for us to be out in the open.

As it should be.

If only it could become commonplace.

I have to say, there's more people and cargo wagons than I imagined.

And among them may be the rogues who have been kidnapping elves,

beastmen, and humans alike.

You're right.

But for today,

I think we're best off recovering from the journey.

Indeed. And such a thriving town is certain to have delicious food to eat.

Don't you think, Ponta?

Quite the delicacy...

The downside is that a town with this many people

is going to make gathering intel difficult.

I'm sure it'll work out.

You know that villains can't resist being found out.

That kind of thinking is exactly how we

keep getting wrapped up in other people's trouble.

And we're starting with basically no information.

Let's start asking questions tomorrow.

Very well.

This is good.

Those ears... Oh, no...

Hey, hey. The seasoning on this meat is kind of unusual, right?

I think I could get used to it!

It shouldn't be! I believe I ordered the assorted turkey—

Alcoholic Turkey

Alcoholic turkey?!

Ponta?!

What is this? "Alcoholic hybrid cuisine,

where just eating it can can get you drunk."

"Popular with diners on a tight schedule?!"

N-Not good! This is very bad!

What? You got some kinda problem?!

She's already hammered!

In that case, you eat more, Arc!

This meat is really good!

I've got to do something!

If Lady Ariane gets any more drunk, it's asking for trouble.

In that case—

There you go! Scarf it! Scarf it! Scarf it!

Scarf it! Scarf it! Scarf it!

And for some reason she's having a great time!

Aw, come on, don't hog it all yourself.

Let me eat some too!

You mustn't!

I will be having all the turkey!

What?! That's my turkey! Give it back!

No! I shall not!

What?! Are you trying to eat it all yourself?! Gimme!

I cannot! Lady Ariane!

Yeah? Okay, then.

I call upon the flames...

Lady Ariane! That incantation—

to rain down upon our foes!

Nothing on my end.

Forgive me. I was unable to discover anything either.

I wonder where this headache's coming from. I didn't even drink.

You certainly did not. You did eat, though.

I don't remember a thing about last night, either.

You were caught up in that disaster too, weren't you, Ponta?

Now, step right up!

With my bare hands and feet,

I intend to scale this clock tower that pierces the very heavens!

Failure means I become a pancake! Success means glory!

A titanic challenge for anyone!

Let's see if I'm up to it!

An acrobat, eh?

Is he alone today?

When I saw before, I remember his sister was playing the flute for him.

It was kind of cute.

I'm halfway there, folks. But can I make the rest of the climb?

He's certainly agile. Let's get a better look...

He's pointing at me?

A dark elf?!

Don't make a fuss.

Come along quietly.

So, that's how it works.

What?

Lady Ariane!

Let's get out of here!

They're the kidnappers!

Grab that boy!

He signaled the rest of them!

I'll go after the others!

Understood!

Wha—

They got away...

What are you doing here, Sir Knight?!

Huh, you've got better manners than I would've imagined.

Shut up, dumbass!

I take it all back.

Come and get me! Or you can kiss it!

Fooled you, didn't I?

Episode 3

The Fall of Villains and the Dance of Sibling Love

Talk about cheap. That move was straight up cheating.

It's not cheating. It's magic.

Well, ain't you fancy, Sir Knight?

Be honest. You're working for them, aren't you?

How did a kid like you end up helping a bunch of scum?

The quiet act, eh?

How many people have they kidnapped like that?

They're not just after elves, but humans and beastmen too, right?
