The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses (気絶勇者と暗殺姫)

That's it!

I remember everything!

Goa!

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses

From now on, you'll be living happily here with the children.

There's no telling what crap Goa is getting up to back in reality.

I gotta wake up and kick her ass, fast!

Miss Anemone, what are you doing out here?

The sun's almost down. It's dangerous out.

Mind your own business.

And tell me where that weird kid from this afternoon went.

We don't need a child like that.

More importantly... hurry back into the dream.

You need to come back...

Guess you wanna try to force me back to sleep, huh?

All right, then. After playing around with kids so much lately,

I've been itching to raise some hell!

Bring it on!

Ciel!

Hang on!

You shouldn't follow her, Princess Ciel.

Instead, you'll remain here, forever and ever.

I am sick and tired of these idiotic illusions!

Princess Ciel... Why are you trying to wake from such a perfect dream?

Do you really miss them all so much?

Miss them? Hardly.

All I want...

is to make my dream a reality, in reality, with my own power!

Please, wait!

Did you need something else, Sir Hero?

It's fine. You don't need to worry about our girl anymore.

No...

This girl is the real Goa.

Please give her back.

Hero Boy!

What are you saying, Sir Hero?

Goa is right here.

That's not true.

I finally understand.

This dream was fun... and wonderful, really, but...

That bite finally snapped me out of it.

We can't stay in here forever.

Let's go, Goa. We can continue this dream back in reality.

Yeah... Yeah!

You can't do that, Sir Hero.

We won't let you leave.

This eternal dream...

...is all you'll ever see!

Hang on tight, Goa!

Move!

You all right? Hurt at all?

Mone...

Come on, let's get the hell out of here. Hold on tight.

Stay close to me.

So how do we escape this dream?

Well...

If we keep defeating the people the dream sends after us,

we should get out sooner or later, but...

There!

We can leave through that door!

Well, that wasn't there before...

but I guess that's a dream world for you.

I appreciate how straightforward this is.

And what're you doing in here, anyway?

You're the one who trapped us in here in the first place, right?

And now you're helping me get out. What sense does that make?

I think... it might've been subconscious.

I must've created this version of myself without realizing it.

As the only way for you all to escape the dream.

Then you actually do want us to wake up?

You're such a pain in the ass.

If you want attention, you oughta just ask for it.

This is kind of a relief.

It turns out you're actually a fool and something of a baby, too.

I'm sorry, Hero Boy.

In reality, I must've... well... lit some funky incense.

Please don't hate me.

I'd never hate you. I love you!

That's great! Perfect, in fact!

Make sure to say it to the real me, too, okay?

Of course! I'll say it to all of you as many times as you need to hear it.

That's all of the dream guys.

You were struggling a bit, huh?

Bite me! It'd have been easier if I weren't also babysitting!

I bet Hero Boy could've beaten them with one punch.

I'm not even sure he realizes this is an illusion.

And Ciel can be pretty dense, too.

I'm certain that I'm the only one who defeated that boss.

I'd wager the hero and Anemone are both still sound asleep.

I bet Mone said something along those lines.

Looks like you can go through the door.

I'm so glad. Sorry for all the trouble.

And say hi to the other me, okay? Bye-bye!

What are you talking about?

You're coming, too, aren't you?

But why? I'm technically a part of this dream.

Yeah... I guess so.

But... well, y'know...

I might feel bad about leaving you behind, that's all.

I'd rather we head back together, understand?

It's just a dream, anyway. Don't fret over the details.

Come on.

Let's go back and join the others!

Yeah!

The sun's coming up soon.

Their personalities should all be erased by now.

Man, overnight jobs are rough!

Time to grab a coffee before I add the finishing touches.

Oh, you screwed up bad this time, Goa.

Any last words?

No way... How...

I take it you're satisfied with those last words?

Hold up. I don't want this to be over too soon. Let's take our time.

Oh, Sir Hero!

Good morning!

Even Hero Boy? How are you all awake?

Hero Boy... I-I...

Goa.

I love you! I have since we met, and I always will.

I love you! I love you! I love you!

Wh-What the heck?

We should be asking that!

Is he still dreaming or something? That seemed out of character.

Damn, talk about a buzzkill.

Seriously. How are you awake?

The illusion should have been perfect.

Do you seriously not get it?

We ran into a kid version of you in the dreams.

She helped us get out.

Outta respect for her, I'm gonna let you off,

but pull this crap again and you will die.

I honestly don't care. This hardly justifies a killing.

It simply proves that I am superior to her illusions.

My prank worked perfectly!

That little girl me? Also part of the illusion!

Or what? Did you two really believe whatever she told you?

I figured as much!

Gosh, you two must love me so much!

Or is it that you missed Hero Boy?

Die! Die right now!

Oh, this is so much fun!

I woke up because I realized it was an illusion!

I have no significant feelings for either you or the hero!

You're so cute when you play hard to get, Ciel!

She dies!

I love you! I love you!

That's right. They didn't wake up for my sake, or Hero Boy's.

But... I was the trigger to break out of the dream,

and now they're awake.

They believed in me...

I-I'm sorry. I won't kill you.

I've never seen an adult cry this hard before.

I love you guys, too, Mone! Ciel!

Let's keep having fun trying to kill each other!

You make no sense!

I'm scared! She's actually frightening me!

Did she fall asleep? Holy crap, listen to that snoring.

Her looking so happy is irritating me all over again.

The three of them really do get along so well.

Thank you all...

Nice and rested!

Clearly.

Even after the mess you caused last night...

Slept like you didn't feel a speck of guilt.

Well, I was comfy!

Anyway, where's Hero Boy?

Off to do his weight training.

He should be back anytime now.

I see.

Oh, speak of the devil.

I'm back.

Welcome back!

Oh, I see you're awake, Goa.

Breakfast is ready downstairs.

All right, time to fuel up before we take on that C-rank promotion quest!

Or so I would like to say,

but the fact is our funds are running low, so we should take another job first.

Things never go the way you would hope with this party.

Sir Hero, did you just sense something strange?

I'm hoping it's just my imagination, but...

Incoming, Hero Boy!

Right!

It's bigger than I thought.

And hostile-looking.

Another perfect one-punch kill.
