Suicide Squad Isekai (異世界スーサイド・スクワッド)

Where are you, Joker?

Show yourself, asshole! We know you're here!

- Dammit. - Be careful.

Where did he go?

Say, Harley, do you know the trick to hunting rats?

Huh? Oh, stop it, Puddin'.

I don't wanna hear anything about rats right now.

Not when we could be talking about something more erotic.

I get it, honey. Nobody enjoys the sight of filth.

- Hey! Get your ass out here! - But...

There are just too many dirty rats infesting this city.

Seriously, Joker? You hiding from us?

Hey, come check this out.

Like the gangs.

They just shoot places up, steal money, and kidnap people.

They're the gutter trash of society.

Found him?

No, only some footprints. Two sets of 'em.

Must belong to that jackass and Harley.

The best way to hunt them down is...

Mornin'! I slept like a baby!

So I'm guessing nothing's changed?

Yep.

Did you guys really get the job done?

Because the deal was they'd give us freedom if you got results...

Don't bitch at me about it!

We might've gone a little overboard, but we got rid of them, okay?

The job's done!

I'm more worried about our bombs right now.

Time left?

12 hours and eight seconds.

Shit.

Behaving ourselves and coming back here was a mistake.

Um...

I remember you sitting next to the Queen.

Might you be the princess of this land?

Yes, my name is Fione.

Princess Fione!

What a lovely name.

Where does it come from?

Some kind of flower? Or perhaps from the local folklore...

Screw that noise.

Hey, girlie.

When the hell are they letting us out?

Well...

I'm sorry, but I have no idea.

However, given the contributions you made to retaking our fort...

they should treat you well...

My apologies.

That doesn't sound very convincing, does it?

Not really.

What?

You've been checking me out since yesterday.

Don't think I haven't noticed.

You got something to say to me?

I...

C'mon, get out with it!

Relax. What's got you so bent out of shape?

Nothing!

The look of this little princess just rubs me the wrong way.

Okay, so you are bent out of shape.

I can't help it!

She's too damn timid to speak her mind

and freaked out about what other people think.

Just like a little wimp I used to know.

Princess!

You mustn't come here, especially without an escort!

It's about damn time.

Get out. The Queen has summoned you.

Nana!

Typically, guys like him get killed off at the start.

Fio!

Wow!

So high up! This is amazing!

Yeah, it's not my favorite spot for nothing.

But isn't your place even taller, Fio?

Quite, but I have never climbed it by my lonesome.

Hey, cut the fancy talk.

You're disguised as a commoner, right?

Oh, forgive... I mean, my bad.

How's your little brother, Knoll, doing?

Is he feeling all right now?

More or less.

But they hiked the prices up on bread again.

And there ain't no more chimneys to sweep.

Maybe I'll get 'em dirty myself.

Don't be silly.

Milady, where are you?

You need to go home soon.

- Or um... you'll be scolded! - Aw, time's up already.

- Milady! - Hey, Fio.

When's the war going to end?

I don't know.

They're still clashing with each other, huh?

Where is it this time?

Over there. Near the mountains.

To hell with 'em!

I hear that you've been taking trips into the city to play around.

It was the city guards who informed me. Not Cecil.

In fact, he tried to cover for you the whole time.

Shame on you.

You forced the future commander of the Royal Knights to lie.

Remember that we are members of royalty who have a higher status

and different duty from the peasants.

Go and clean yourself up.

Mother!

What is our duty? Can you tell me?

To bring an end to the war.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess!

Yes?

It's almost time to begin.

My apologies. The war council, right?

Yes. But there is no need for you to attend...

No, I'm going.

I would like to be there.

- So many of them! - I've never seen anything like it!

Report the situation.

Yes.

Currently...

the Imperial Army is marching towards the plains through this forest here.

Fortunately, they are moving at a slow pace.

However, the guards that we left posted at the reclaimed fortress

will not be enough to handle their numbers.

Unless we do something...

they will force their way across the bridge within a day or two.

Um, hello? Hey, folks!

Care to explain why we're still in shackles?

I thought we had a deal about being set free.

How dare you! Know your place when you speak!

This is a war council!

You have some nerve to say that

after destroying the very fort I sent you to reclaim.

Uh-oh, are we gonna get executed or somethin'?

You there, near the aisle.

Yes?

You said you had intelligence about the Empire's senior officers.

Who is the one leading this army?

And how do they keep such strict command of their troops?

Before we get to that...

could you please tell me the sequence of events leading up to this war?

I'd like to have a better understanding

of the enemy's situation.

Cecil.

Yes.

Our Kingdom has been waging war against the Imperial forces

for multiple decades now.

For a long time, they were mere skirmishes

but it has intensified drastically in these last six months.

Mostly due to the fact that the Elves and Beastmen

betrayed us to side with the Empire.

They betrayed you?

That's right.

The Beastmen who we fought at the fort the other day

were originally subjects of our kingdom.

Goddamn traitors, threatening the peace.

Oh yeah?

Perhaps they simply didn't care for your kingdom.

Guy's got a point.

I mean, just look at how you treat your war heroes.

I'm betting that it was Ratcatcher

who caused the Beastmen to betray you.

Ratcatcher?

The man who's leading this army.

He had the power to communicate with rats in our world.

So it's very likely he used his power to communicate

with the Beastmen here, too.

You sound pretty damn confident.

He never had that much power when I was with him in the joint.

Shut up!

We need to bluff our way out of this right now!

Then how do you suggest we stop their army?

Well...

A way to stop the rat bastard, huh?

More like how to hunt him.

- For disturbing the peace... - Rats...

I'm gonna kill that slimeball a million times over.

Here's a better question.

Why didn't you and your advance party

just blow his head off after he went rouge?

You planted a bomb in that rat bastard's neck, too, right?

I have no idea how, but the bombs got defused without me noticing.

Which is probably why Director Waller made sure

that yours included a countdown.

Well, shit.

Is that all you can offer?

- Then back to the prison with... - Hunting rats.

Huh?

The trick to hunting rats! How'd I forget!

You're a genius, Puddin'! Seriously, the best man alive!

Jeez, did you smuggle in some booze or what?

Mind letting me take a swig of it, too?

Excuse you!

I was just remembering something Puddin' told me once!

A good way to get rid of rats!

I see.

D-Do you have a good idea?

Sort of.

Anybody that's fought him before would come to the same conclusion.
