Quality Assurance in Another World (この世界は不完全すぎる)

Oh, Nikola!

Good morning!

Good weather we're having today!

I'll drop by the tavern later!

Okay!

Every day of my life was the same, and very peaceful.

Are you okay?

Oh, Nikola!

I'm fine! This is nothing!

And I was fine with that...

Until that day.

No way...

Dragons!

Wh-Why?

Hoimoidragons are only supposed to appear deep in the mountains!

What are they doing near our village?

Don't worry. I've heard they're peaceful monsters.

Run!

They're coming this way!

Run!

They'll crush you!

I can't move...

Am I going to die?

I don't want to die!

Don't move.

Everything's okay. Everything's fine.

This is a safe spot.

Don't move.

He's shaking, too.

What is this?

H-He's big... and dressed strangely.

U-Um...

Sorry, I feel sick.

I might throw up.

Big shaking's always been a problem for me.

So what were you doing there?

No, more importantly...

Who are you?

Sorry.

I held you really tight.

No, it's fine.

Thank you.

That was a close call.

Can I ask your name, please?

I'm Nikola. I work at the village inn.

I'm Haga.

Haga-san?

That's a strange name.

What were you doing there?

I wanted to observe the dragons up close.

You should head back to the village while you can.

And stay away from this place for a while.

O-Okay.

Don't tell me the dragons are back.

What's it doing?

It's stuck and can't go any further.

I've never seen one do that before.

I get it!

Your job is to investigate monsters' behavior!

Well, I investigate a lot. Not just monsters.

A lot?

Everything going on in this world.

Everything in the world?

Continent of Felnarc

Raging Gulf

Clayborne

Silver Islands

There's an island called Clayborne, which is the small island where we live.

Desert

Wilsword Empire

Kingdom of Liono

Bayle Wetlands

Federated Kingdoms of Stamao

Principality of Sai

It's a backwater place far to the south of the continent of Felnarc,

where there are five kingdoms all jammed together

that are constantly getting in small fights.

Royal Capital

Kingdom of Bayle

The tiny village where I, Nikola, live,

is located in the Kingdom of Bayle, the smallest and most peaceful of the kingdoms,

Luisa Village

in a place far away from anyone.

Nikola the Servant Girl

Wait!

This guy who saved Nikola...

You think he might be a King's Seeker?

King's Seeker

A Seeker?

You haven't heard of them?

There's a lot of weird stuff going on lately, right?

Like crown princes and heirs to the throne suddenly falling ill.

And monsters acting strange, like we saw today!

And so the King has dispatched a secret investigation force all across the kingdom.

They're supposed to be his most elite troops.

Well, he did seem to be investigating something.

But would they really come all the way out here?

He didn't seem very elite to me.

I hope he leaves soon.

Outsiders are scary, yeah.

You guys don't have anything better to do today than drink?!

Nikola, can you help in the kitchen?

Yes, ma'am!

Seekers, the chosen elite...

My heart's still racing.

I was scared after the dragon attacked us, but today wasn't like every other day!

It was a different kind of day!

Making his way in the world with a sword

Guided by fate

He will save this world

A song praising an adventurer, huh?

I wonder what's going on in the outside world.

This should be enough.

I'll make my report while I've got the time.

Day 1

Day 21

Day 31

Day 41

Day 51

I've observed Hoimoidragons ten times, and only once were they acting odd.

It doesn't seem like a critical problem, but I should report it just in case.

The following abnormal behaviors were seen with the Zakan Plateau Hoimoidragons...

Okay.

Send.

Is that light magic? Haga-san must be someone special.

I'm sorry!

Uh, I wanted to thank you for earlier today.

You scared me.

Sorry. You look so strong, but you don't act like it.

No, that's not true. I'm not strong.

Here, eat this.

Thank you.

Are you an adventurer, Haga-san?

Something like that.

Are you one of the King's Seekers, maybe?

Um, yes.

That's my job title.

I knew it!

Are you alone? Do you have anyone with you?

I'm alone right now.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked that.

This is good.

I'm glad!

Um, Haga-san, would you be willing to tell me stories about the outside world?

I haven't seen the outside world, and neither has anyone in the village.

This village is so peaceful.

Each day is so much like every other that it makes you laugh.

So, um... I almost died today, and it was really dangerous, but...

Thanks to you, Haga-san, it was so exciting!
