BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.

It's fun.

It's really great.

It's really awesome. Just try it.

Right now?

Of course.

You've got everything, right?

I've got it all here.

But Risa, you can't play yet, right?

My mom said I've got to focus on studying for the next exam.

So, Kaede, go ahead without me.

I'll catch up in no time.

Risa, the bath is ready!

Okay!

I've got to go.

Anyway, give it a go.

I'm sure it's going to be awesome!

RISA

Wait, Risa!

Come on...

I've barely played a game in my life...

I only bought this because of Risa.

How could I say no when I see those shining eyes?

Well, let's set this game up.

I have to choose a name first.

It doesn't seem right to use my real name.

What should I do?

Right!

My first name "Kaeda" means "maple."

So, I'll just use "Maple" as my user name.

MAPLE

That's it.

Next would be starting equipment...

There are great sword, two-handed sword, one-handed sword,

mace, staff...

I'm not good at running around.

Besides, I don't want to get hurt,

so I should avoid getting hit.

Maybe I should pick the staff and be a wizard?

GREAT SHIELD, SHORT SWORD

LACK OFFENSIVE, BEST DEFENSE

It is lacking in offense,

but the best in defense?

Does this mean if I raise my defense, I won't take any damage?

Okay, I'll take this.

Next, distributing status points...

I'll put everything on defense.

There! That should be fine.

Good.

TO THE STARTING POINT

This is what VRMMO like nowadays?

I'm so slow!

Why?

Right.

Vitality means defense, right?

Strength is power...

Agility is speed...

Right, my agility is zero, so I can't walk fast.

Jeez, did I mess it up?

What should I do?

Risa isn't here. Should I log out and start again?

AFTER 5 MINUTES

All right. I'm finally done with the settings.

Let's go and get some monsters!

Where should I go?

Excuse me...

Excuse me, I...

What is it?

Well, I'd like to fight some monsters.

But I don't know where to go.

You're a newbie?

If you're looking for monsters, head west to the forest.

It's a good spot to raise your level when you're just starting out.

Just stand there and the monsters will come to you.

Thank you. I'll check it out.

All the best.

Frederica, what are you doing?

Drag.

There's a newbie,

so I told her where to raise her level easily.

There are more and more players now.

Well then, let's get going.

Payne is already here.

He's always on time.

Everyone's so fast.

It seems like I need more agility.

That must be the forest.

Great. This spot should be fine.

Mr. Monster! Come get me!

You're so cute!

Stop!

Ouch! Wait, it doesn't hurt...

Amazing! It doesn't hurt at all.

Having 128 vitality sure does the trick.

How about that, Mr. Bunny? Have a taste of my abs.

It doesn't hurt at all.

Hey, what's wrong with you? Come on, bring it on!

Try harder.

Over here. Hey, over here. Come on!

1 HOUR LATER

Come on, try harder.

Hold on, Mr. Bunny.

ABSOLUTE DEFENSE IS ACQUIRED.

THIS SKILL WILL DOUBLE VIT, THRICE THE POINTS TO UPGRADE STR, AGI, INT

It will double the vitality?

Does that mean now I have 256 vitality points?

I was just playing with Mr. Bunny.

Okay, sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Bunny.

Mr. Bunny?

Mr. Bunny!

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE LEVELED UP TO LEVEL 2.

Bunny!

I didn't mean to defeat it.

I've got more status points to distribute.

Now it seems pointless to raise the stats other than defense.

Okay, I've decided. I'll add them to my defense stats.

It's because I don't want to get hurt.

What monsters are around here?

I don't want to fight against the cute ones again.

I hope the next one isn't cute.

Oh no!

It doesn't hurt.

That tickles.

That's hot.

I can't defend myself against poison.

Tactical retreat!

ANTI-POISON, LOW LEVEL IS ACQUIRED.

I see.

I gained resistance ability from being attacked.

Good.

I can't keep going...

ANTI-POISON, LOW LEVEL TO INTERMEDIATE LEVEL.

Yes!

By doing so, I'll get stronger to resist poison.

I'm dying!

It fell for my trick.

Got it!

It's a tough opponent, but I defeated it.

It was a really scary enemy.

But with my wisdom and courage,

the evil monster was defeated.

GIANT KILLING IS ACQUIRED.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE LEVELED UP TO LEVEL 8.

FOREST QUEEN BEE'S RING IS ACQUIRED.

SIX POINTS ADDED TO VITALITY RECOVERS IN 10 MINUTES

It's a rare item.

Six points added to vitality.

If I use it, I can recover my HP automatically.

Let me see.

I've attained 15 status points.

I'll also use them all on vitality.

"Giant Killing..."

Well...

This gets activated.

That means, with Absolute Defense,

it has multiplied by four times.

I feel so accomplished.

What is that?

MEDITATION IS ACQUIRED.

"You can recover 1 percent of HP within 10 seconds."

The effect lasts for 10 minutes.

To attain it, you must be attacked continuously."

"Be attacked continuously"?

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE LEVELED UP TO LEVEL 11.

PROVOCATION IS ACQUIRED.
