Humans!
If you wish not for annihilation, take heed!
I bear a message from the depths!
You will surrender the surface to us, the Clan of the Seafolk!
Thereafter you shall become our nourishment, human scum—
Nice head! Are you related to an octopus by any chance?
I heard it was that same guy again.

I forget, but he's super-strong.

THE DEEP SEA KING
Help! Somebody!
We, the Clan of the Seafolk, now rule the surface!
Resistance is futile!
You'll pay for that, human!
The A-class hero Stinger, rising in popularity and currently 11th in the rankings, is here to help.
At your service, everyone!
It's Stinger!
We're saved!
Go for it!
Well now…
Anyone who needs a new blowhole drilled into their torso, step right up!

Master…
You have moved up to rank 2 in Class C.
You are on the verge of entering Class B!
Class B, huh?
That means I won't have any more weekly hero quotas, right?
Correct.
Oh, excuse me…
Hello?
City J? It is a bit far.
Are there no competent heroes nearby?
Busy guy…
Master!
The monster you defeated on your way home the other day
called itself one of the "Seafolk," right?
I forget.
Several monsters calling themselves the "Clan of the Seafolk"
have appeared in City J and are attacking anyone in sight.
An A-class hero is fighting them all alone and is on the brink of defeat.
His extreme fatigue and pain are apparent.
A prompt response from the Hero Association is desperately needed.
Hang on!
The threat level is Tiger.
All citizens are asked to stay out of the area.
You've got spunk, you slimy bastards.
My beloved Bamboo Shoot here is happy to be battling enemies with some grit for a change.
But it's time to end this.
You can quit your boasting, human!
Your foolish fan club has run off.
But your death will not be easy.
For the taking of our brothers' lives, long will we cause you to suffer.
Four fish to go!
It's a lot easier without an audience!
Sing, Bamboo Shoot!
Gigantic Drill Stinger Quadruple Thrust!
I did it…
I did it!
These monsters were probably a God-level threat and I defeated them all by my—
You know, when something's so annoying,
it is a pleasure to watch it die.
How much farther is City J?
We are almost there.
But I am getting no readings.
I will scout ahead.
Once I have confirmed their location, I will let you know.
Oh… Hey!
This is an announcement from the Hero Association.
The threat level is Tiger.
All citizens, please stay clear of the area.
CITY A - HERO ASSOCIATION HQ
Was the warning issued?
The request just went out.
We'll need to update it and re-issue.
What do you mean?
Stinger is down.
Licenseless Rider here. I'm heading in.
Give me the location.
All lines are busy at this time—
Where are they?
Hey, best forget it!
C-class heroes can't handle this one.
Huh?
The word just came down.
Emergency evacuation warning.
The threat level has been raised from Tiger to Demon.
All residents of City J, please evacuate immediately.
See what I mean?
Hey!
I repeat. All residents of City J, please evacuate immediately.
Evacuate?
How foolish.
As if I'd allow even one of these apes to escape.
So that's the one that got Stinger…
But he's the last of 'em.
Should I wait for backup?
If it's one-on-one, maybe I can—
That smarts.
Why would you do this?
Dammit, how'd he get behind me?
I was so surprised my voice went all funky.
