Berserk of Gluttony (暴食のベルセルク)

- -

- -

- More. -

More.

Give me more!

- -

- -

Huh.

- -Help!

-Somebody, help me please! -

- -

- -

- -Warriors? It's my lucky day!

We can take it from here!

If there's one goblin in sight,

then a hundred more lie in wait!

- -

- -

- -

Don't let any of these pests get away!

- Aye! - Aye!

Ah, nothing like a successful raid!

Could really use some food.

I scored enough points to boost me to Level 6

thanks to today's goblin hunt!

It did seem they brought the entire horde to play.

Giant hordes mean giant hauls.

Let's cash out and split the take.

Lead the way!

They went on a goblin hunt?

Put that on a list of things I'll never do.

Hm. I'm useless.

With a stomach that growls constantly.

And it's all thanks to this pathetic skill.

Guess I should be grateful I have a job.

- -Thank you for stopping by!

The Holy Knights are coming.

Huh.

Leave it to the Vlerick siblings

to ruin a good day.

- - Hm.

Hm?

I am so terribly sorry, Sir Hado!

What are you doing to my boots, clumsy wretch?

I didn't mean to.

Now, you're talking back to me?

In case you weren't aware of what happens

to anyone brazen enough to insult the Holy Knights,

let me fill you in.

Hmm. They lose their heads.

I meant you no disrespect!

- -Stop.

Come on, you've had your fun.

Learn from this mistake.

Yes, M'Lord!

Thank your lucky stars.

You truly are blessed today.

Are you all right?

That was awful.

Tsk. Despicable scum.

Unlike Lady Roxy, they drag

the Holy Knights' name through the dirt.

Will you please just let me finish this shift

without acting up anymore?

- Hello, Fate. -Huh?

- Huh. -I see you've kept

a proper watch on the gate for us.

-It's still in one piece. -Yes, Sir Rafale.

As such, here.

- Hm. - Pick up your pay.

Go right ahead.

Yes, sir.

- -Hm.

- -

Is that your filthy hand I'm crushing,

'cause I could've sworn it was trash!

- -

What a pitiful sight.

As if being weak wasn't bad enough,

that noisy gut makes it seem like we don't keep you fed.

I wonder why.

Trying to disgrace the Vlerick family?

- -

In this world there are haves...

- -

...and there are have-nots.

Miserable cur!

- -

As designed by the Gods.

I can practically hear you

cursing our names in your thoughts.

Someone with such a worthless skill

should already be on his knees,

thanking us Holy Knights

for so graciously securing his livelihood.

What separates them

are their preordained powers, skills.

I pray you realize that slacking off reflects poorly

on those who employ you, and we can't have that.

On your feet.

- Go on! -

Why aren't you up yet?

If he's going to act this way, so be it.

This defiant dog will have to learn

an obedience lesson or two, won't he?

Stop this!

Hm.

You're sworn to protect that citizen under your boot.

It's unbecoming of a Holy Knight

to do such a thing!

-Please. -Nobody asked you.

It's also unbecoming to pass the honor of guarding the gate

to someone else.

That is solely our duty, so take pride in it.

Providing job opportunities to the hapless have-nots

is our honorable duty, too.

Hm.

You would validate this treatment?

I'd say it's just a difference in professional opinion.

Hado, Memil, let's go.

They're gone. Are you all right, Fate?

Hm. Yes.

Rafale.

They hit hard enough to draw blood.

-Try to sit still. -Huh.

Looks much better now.

Uh, you're too kind, Lady Roxy.

We're gatekeepers-in-arms, so think nothing of it.

Quite frankly, all Holy Knights

should conduct themselves this way.

Now, I believe I'm your relief.

Oh, right! There you are, ma'am!

Before you go,

I would like you to promise that you'll inform me

if you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, Fate.

I, uh...can't do that.

-But... -I'm used to that treatment,

so if you'll excuse me.

- -Huh.

Before you go,

I would like you to promise that you'll inform me

if you ever find yourself in a similar predicament, Fate.

I appreciate Lady Roxy's concern.

But Rafale is too unpredictable

to risk getting her involved.

She shouldn't stray from her path to pick up trash.

They knock you around again?

Hm.

You've gotta put a stop to it.

Or else you'll wind up like the last guy.

Nonstop abuse on top of hard manual labor,

will only lead to one brutal outcome.

- -

Well, thanks for the meal.

Hm.

We don't all get a happy ending,

but I hope yours is at least close.

Gluttony's the stupidest skill.

If I could have any wish,

I'd ask the Gods to bless me with something helpful, too.

Doesn't have to be worthy of a Holy Knight.

I'd take being a warrior,

or even a merchant or a craftsman.

But wishful thinking is all it'll ever be.

I have nothing to lose, yet I'm still such a loser.

Huh!

Thieves?

No way she'll see them from where she is!

You're certain what you saw were intruders?

Yes, not a doubt in my mind,

and they were scaling the east wall!

I shall have to apprehend them.

-Huh? -I request you guard the gate in my stead.

Of course! Best of luck to you, Milady.

All will be well.

Though I look like a rose, I cut like a thorn.

Oh, wow. She wrapped that up quick.

Lady Roxy entrusted this gate to me.

I can't run.
