"You single-handedly took down a Danger Beast!" "Of course!" "That thing was no match for me." "It was child's play!" "By the way, I'm Tatsumi." "One day, everyone in the imperial capital's gonna know my name, so you'd better remember it." "You're saying you want to make it big in the capital?" "Yeah!" "Every country boy dreams of winning success and fame in the big city!" "The imperial capital isn't the place of hopes and dreams that you think it is." "It's definitely lively, but it's home to monsters even worse than that earth dragon." "What?" "You mean there are Danger Beasts in the city, too?" "I mean the people." "They may be humans, but their hearts are monstrous." "The capital's crawling with them." "I appreciate your advice, but I can't turn back now." "I..." "No, we..." "We're gonna make it in the imperial capital and save our village!" "Just as humans eventually rot away, nations also decay and collapse." "Even the imperial capital, which has prospered for a thousand years, is now a living hell of corruption."
