Ufu♪
I feel great!

<Itami> {Name tag}

How many centuries have passed since I last enjoyed being with a man?

Itami Youji.
A man from another world.
He may be bland, but there is something captivating about him.


Page 3:
The few remaining decades until I ascend to godhood...

If it’s with Youji-

Rory... Hey, Rory.
Wake up, it’s closing time.
Nnn...

I guess it can’t be helped.


Page 4:
Ah-
Nng...

Ready?.
Please,
Be gentle...

Aaahn!

Please
Don't be so rough....


Page 5:
What? Just go to sle-
Ah!?

Youji,
let’s talk until morning...


Page 6:
...At least, that was how it should have been.

I was getting him drunk at a good pace.

But you...
You had to...

Treat me, Rory Mercury...
like a brat!

What’s she thinking!?

Calling Rory the Reaper a brat.

It’s going to rain blood!

She must be a newcomer. She'll probably be dead before she realizes she picked a fight with a

demigod apostle.


Page 7:
Nearly 300-year old dark elf woman,

Showing off that voluptuous body that men must love...

Who are you?

Why have you come to Alnus?

I’m Yao Haa Dushi.

Daughter of Dehan, of the Dushi clan of Schwarz Forest.

I came here with a request for the “People in Green”.


Page 8:
sfx:smirk

Please save me!

That man keeps making me drink!
He keeps on saying “Are my drinks not good enough for you!?”

...Eh?
Eeeh!?

Me!?


Page 9:
I knew it.
You were planning to take advantage of this girl after she'd passed out.

Yes, he was planning to make me his plaything,
And use me until I was broken...

It's alright now, you don't have to be afraid any more.

I will not forgive a scoundrel like you!


Page 10:
I shall administer
your punishment right here!

Young girl, be at ease.

I shall take care of this cowardly-


Page 11:
See you around, old man!
Put it on my tab!

Sure!
A~s expected of master Itami, he sure knows how to run.

...Good.
Evil has been banished.

You can rest in peace -huh?

That kid should learn some manners.
Judging from her outfit, she might have been a trainee acolyte of Emroy...


Page 12:
Hey, you! Did you come to just bother our customers?
Or are you going to order something?

Yes.

That was my intention.

<Whoa>{small text to the left}

That man was wearing the same clothes as them...

What would you like?

Ah! Something grilled and some kind of alcoholic beverage, please.

Delilah, get the lady a beer.

<What is that?>
Yo, newcomer.


Page 13:
So you came looking for the People in Green?

Feel like telling us why?

S-sure.

I have come to borrow the People in Green's power.

You wouldn’t happen to know where I can find them?

So that’s why Rory acted like that.

As payback for treating her like a brat.

My condolences.

You just pointed a sword at those people in green- at Master Itami, you know!


Page 14:
...I'm not sure
if that's possible.

That’s right, nyaa.

Why not? I have heard that the People in Green are of a noble disposition.

If that’s the case, then they wouldn’t refuse a person in need-

Here’s your food!

Anyway,
You can continue after you've had something to eat.

Yes... This is beer?

Nm, delicious!

Of course,

I don’t expect them to do it for free.

Page 15:
This is an uncut diamond!

If that isn’t enough, I’m ready to offer my body!

I have already said farewell to all my relatives!

{Ignore small font, just pronunciation notes for Japanese readers}

A diamond the size of a person’s head!? You could buy yourself a noble title with a landed fief

with that!

Pick me!

An amulet of Hardy, skillfully crafted by the dark elves, on it's own is worth a fortune! And your

body on top of that! {This was the spelling used in the subway chapter.}

How about me?

I’m sorry, but your powers are insufficient.

What are you going ask them for?

To slay a wounded flame dragon.

Page 16:
Several months ago
In Schwarz Forest-

We fled our village when a flame dragon suddenly attacked, and took refuge in the mountains and

canyons nearby.

But the flame dragon sniffed out our hiding places, and continued to eat our brethren.

The lands which had been our hunting grounds became the hunting ground of the flame dragon-


Page 17:
Amidst endless days of starving and cursing,

There were some who fought back with swords of magic and mithril arrows

All they accomplished was adding another sword
To the field of swords in the flame dragon’s nest.

Faith in Hardy, lord of the underworld, changed to obsession.
The smile of despair and futility spread through our people...

During those times-
Don’t give up! That arrow was stuck in the flame dragon’s eye!
It’s a proof that there was a miraculous elf who hurt it!

Look at the arm it lost! Someone had to do that!

According to the rumors, "People in Green" blew it away with a magic wand called the "Rod of Steel"

and saved a human village...

People in Green!?

Page 18:
The People in Green are our last hope-

Yao Haa Dushi.

Your skill with the blade and in manipulating the spirits, your sharp wits...
And most especially, the sincerety you hold, are the reasons why we entrust this task to you.

Request the help of the "People in Green" to save us from certain destruction.

Gladly!
-Butm why would you ask this of a woman like me?
Thodolm is stronger than I am.

It is- Because you are a woman.

Page 19:
Do you understand what I mean?
Are you prepared?

Of course.

Really? Are you sure?

Yes.

They might be really ugly.

Um... Isn't it fine if I'm the messenger?

If the flame dragon can be slain through the sacrifice of my body, then so be it.

...But, isn't Yao's bad luck with men rather infamous?
Her boyfriend was stolen by her best friend, {I really want to keep NTR in there...}
The next man died a night before their wedding, and another man who tried to court her died in an

accident...

Don't talk about it.
She’s the only one we can trust to do this...

Page 20:
Slaying a flame dragon...

Do you think you could do it?

Impossible! Even trying would be suicide!

Only a god or apostle would stand a chance.

Y-you should take this to the People in Green...


Page 21:
But...
What are they talking about?

Who knows. I can only understand bits of what they're saying.

You sure have terrible luck...
<It’s my first time tasting this, but it’s delicious!>


Page 22:
There aren't any US Air Force or civilian planes here!

The sky is all ours, Kurihama!

Just make sure that we don’t get lost.

Who do you think I am, Kamikoda?

Alnus tower, 680, 320, clear for take-off.

You're free to fly around as long as you don’t hit the ground or birds.

680, copy.

320, copy.

Page 23:
This is-

Ah.... I had to camp outdoors because the inns were full.
It seems like there might be other elves around here. It’s a nice forest, and the spirits of wind

are-


Page 26:
Take that!

Can you keep up with me, Nishimoto!?

They're behind us!

Break to right!

Son of a bitch!

Heyy! I got your ass!

I’m not done yet! Mizuhara, keep your eyes on them!


Page 27:
Silver swords flying through the sky...
-No.

People!
There are people riding it!

The rumours were true-

I'm sure they could easily defeat the flame dragon!


Page 28:
Several kinds of traditional handicrafts and modern tools... Hey, you have sake in there too!
<High grade mid-winter plum?>

No one'll know if one bottle goes missing.

Don’t even joke about it, Yanagida-san. These are weapons for us diplomats.

You sure you aren’t drinking it by yourself?

These coins are your operating funds?

Yeah.

They're the ones we asked you to buy from the living community. {Would Village be a better TL?}

Women, food and drinks.
We can get those unhappy with the current ruling body on our side with the power of money.

That's the fundamental of diplomacy.

I’m sure that works well with the officials of a developing country.


Page 29:
I think that bribes and intimidation are the basics of diplomacy.
China is a typical example of this. They threatened us with military deployments over the Chunxiao

gas field and the Senkaku Islands.

<Hot->
Just once, I'd like to tell them "Do it if you can."

Why don’t you do that here?

I can’t do that.

We're living in the 21st century. This isn’t the 19th Century's Age of Imperialism.

There is a possibility that we can maintain the current governance of the Special Area. We don’t

want to create any ill-will.

Our biggest priority now is to increase the size of the anti-war faction.


Page 30:
Itami, I'm leaving them in your hands!

Leave it to me!


Page 31:
We'll stop at Italica to refuel, and disembark in the mountains near the Imperial City.
After that, it'll be half-day journey on foot.

I hope none of you are wearing leather shoes.

No need to worry, Itami-san.
Most of us have already gained some experience in Africa and the Middle East.

With everything I've seen,

There probably isn't anything those "People in Green" can't do.
