Hey, what are you doing?

What? Uh, n-nothing.

Hmm? Well, well, if
it ain't little Karol!

What the hell are
you thinking, coming
back here?

H-hey!
Wh-what's with you?!

Yeah, I don't see Nan.
She already ditch you?
Ah hah hah hah!

N-no way! She wouldn't
stop nagging so I took off!

This would explain why
Karol wasn't too eager
to go to Dahngrest.

So are you the latest guild
to take him in? You could do
a lot better than that loser!

All this kid can brag about is the
number of guilds he's joined!
Oh, right, that's a bad thing.

Are these your friends,
Karol? You could do a lot
better than these losers.

Wh-what did you say?!

Such undignified men!

Shut up!

You sure have a way
of saying things.
I mean, you're right, but...

Yeah, you just keep talking...

What's that sound?

Damn it... They're back again...

Come on!

The alarm...
Monsters are here.

Monsters?
...Wait, is this shaking the
monsters' footsteps...?

If so, they've brought
quite an army.

Yeah, but don't worry.
Even if there have been a lot
of monsters around here lately...

Our barrier here is
strong, and it's never
been broken before.

And the guilds take
care of the monsters
outside the barrier...

...Huh?
Oh crap!!

The barrier...disappeared...?

What the hell is going
on?! The monsters are
gonna get inside!

Damn it, why do things
like this always happen to
me, no matter where I go?

You gotta be cursed.

...Maybe.

Yuri, we have to go
stop the monsters!
