Nothin' more than a standard clause.
Says you're liable for any damage.
Move it, quit dragging your feet!
Thanks for all your help.
Of course, Banaza.
This all the cargo you need packed?
That was the initial plan but there could be another load
if negotiations work out.
Lemme buy you guys dinner while you wait.
I'm sorry to hold you up.
Hey, is that guy giving money
to a demihuman?
Talk about a disgrace.
I appreciate the offer, you're too kind,
but you don't have to pay us demihumans.
That may be, but I still want to.
The least I can do is buy you guys some grub.
I'm the one making you wait, after all.
It's pointless trying to argue with him on this one.
Hey, Quinn.
Only thing to do is go on and have a nice meal together.
Well, if you're sure.
Thank you, we accept.
Hey, we're goin' to dinner!
Make sure ya thank Banaza, then follow me!
Thank you for treating us
to dinner, Banaza!
We really appreciate it!
Thanks for always being so good to us!
Of course, enjoy!
Friggin' traitor.
What does it matter if you're human or demihuman?
Wouldn't everyone be so much happier
if we could all just get along with each other?
It's a nice thought, but sadly there aren't
very many people in the capital who feel that way.
Huh?
Wha?
What's happening? Everything okay?
Banaza?
I have no idea why I was chosen.
It's still a mystery to me.
All I know, I'm here now
and there's nothin' I can do about it.
The invocation has successfully summoned
the one hundred ninety-eighth hero candidate.
Where am I?
Welcome to the Kingdom of Klyrode,
noble hero candidate.
We're honored by your presence.
What?
Uh sorry, but what's happening here?
Did you call me "hero candidate"?
This is some kind of misunderstanding.
My name's Banaza, I'm just an ordinary merchant.
Our world is mired by endless battle
against the forces of evil.
We seek salvation through an ancient tradition.
That of magically summoning potential heroes
from other worlds.
Guardians who might vanquish the Dark Army for us.
Hold on, Dark Army?
And now we shall assess your abilities.
Please place your hands
beside the orb.
Uh?
Here.
The summoning spell reverts all candidates
to level one status.
To offset this, our gods bestow the most-worthy
with divine blessings.
These sacred powers are so immense,
no amount of training or study
could imbue them into an ordinary person.
This is known as the Divine Revelation.
Is that the written language of this world?
But, I can clearly read what it says.
Oh, no!
There were no divine blessings, none at all!
These are the meager stats of an entirely average
and ordinary man!
Well, yeah.
Is anyone here even listening to me?
I just told you I'm a simple merchant.
How can there be no Divine Revelation?
Is this the fault of our spell?
Yet another miserable failure!
Well, sorry I'm such a disappointment.
But y'know, as long as I'm no help,
you can send me back to my...
Oh, it's a miracle!
The Divine Revelation has seen fit to endow
this candidate with the powers of the legendary hero!
Amazing!
Hang on!
Huh?
My, my.
Well, it's evident I've been chosen as the mighty hero
to save this world and that guy was not.
Precisely, you're our only hope, Great Hero!
Please save us from the dark army!
Report this news to the king at once!
Yes!
Uh, hey, excuse me!
I'm still here... hello!
Can you send me home?
We thank you for selflessly leaving your world behind
to save ours!
I hereby proclaim this magnanimous,
golden haired knight our hero!
They forgot about me quickly enough.
The Magical Kingdom of Klyrode, huh?
I've never heard of it before.
Am I really in a different world?
Oh, well.
It'll make for a good story when they send me back home.
Get in.
Whoa... hey!
That hurt.
Why is all of this happening to me?
I'm sorry to tell you,
but the gate through which you were summoned
is already sealed shut.
And once it's closed, it cannot be opened again.
Wait, you're saying you can't.
But my home, how do I...
We see how our kingdom's inability
to return you to your native world
is an inconvenient circumstance for you.
To make up for it, we generously offer you
special residence in the Delaveza Forest
to the north,
where you may quietly live out the rest of your days.
However, this offer comes with the proviso
that you never speak of this mishap to anyone.
Hey, uh, got a question.
Sorry, can't help you.
I'm under strict orders not to talk to the cargo.
I get it, but please don't say that.
I'm very far from home
and I don't know anything about this country.
I was just hoping you could tell me a little about it.
Are you in a slave contract
to provide labor for the king?
A slave contract?
It was common in my world.
In some parts, demihumans were legally obligated
to serve under a slave contract.
Well then you must come from a pretty messed-up place.
Oh.
Sure, my wages don't add up to much more than dirt,
but nobody's forced into slavery here.
In this country, nobody gives half a crap
if you're human or demihuman.
Of course, sorry, neither do I!
Anyway, so about this Delaveza Forest we're headed for.
Yeah, conversations over.
We're the only ones here, no one will know.
Couldn't you just...
Guess not, then.
They kept going on and on about a "dark army"
but maybe this world isn't so bad after all.
We're here.
Delaveza Forest is straight ahead.
Oh!
Some charity from the king.
I know these, it's a Bottomless Bag, right?
That it is.
Should have enough money and food stashed away in it
to keep you alive for a while.
Rumor has it the Dark Army's taken up camp around here.
What?
You want my advice?
If you don't wanna die, go live somewhere else.
Got it?
Thanks so much for the ride!
Great conversation!
But dropping me off and telling me to run?
It's not like I have a single clue
where else I could go.
Oh, that's great.
Doesn't look like it operates any differently
from the Bottomless Bags I'm used to.
Okay, what do I need most right now?
Boop.
Looks nice, but it's cheaply made junk.
