Gremlins

Gremelins, also called ri-komo for a time by Team Haruhiro and the Tokkis, are strange bats-like who look somewhat like a mix between a Goblin and a Bat.

They were first identified by Lala and Nono who kept their existence a secret until Team Haruhiro and the Tokkies discovered them in the Wonder Hole and made it public, at which point they dropped the pretense and even managed to make their name the "official" one instead of the name chosen by Kikkawa: "ri-komo".

They're regularly found near passage to other worlds.

## Biology

Gremlins have a build similar to goblins, at least close enough for Haruhiro to first think they were goblins. but in fact mostly look like bats, their body and head especially. Despite looking like Bats, they laid eggs and, according to Lala, reproduce fairly fast.

Gremlins are surprisingly weak creatures considering they can be found in dangerous places like the Wonder Hole, as such they can't really fight back and usually won't attack either. Probably for that reason they seem to always live in large groups, living together in a nest and stocking all their eggs in one of the chambers.

It unclear if Gremlins are sentients as they live like animals but while it doesn't seem anyone successfully communicated with them, the way the first one Team Haruhiro encounter acted makes it seem like it could be possible.

Finally, and most remarkably, Gremlins are regularly found near passages to other worlds, a fact that leads Lala to theorize that:

1. Gremlins could have the power to cross between worlds.
2. A way to sense seams between worlds.
3. Or just have a tendency to find and live near such passages.

## Location

Gremlins seem to only live near passages between worlds, Lala theorizing that they may have a way to found or create them which they use to flee from predators.

As such Gremlins have been found near most known passages between worlds:

* In the Wonder Hole, near the passage to both the Dusk Realm and the Dark Realm
* In a passage between the Dusk Realm and Darunggar

However, for some unknown reasons, they weren't found in the passage between Darunggar and Grimgar near the Fire Dragon's Volcano.

Neither are they found near any of the passages link to Parano, likely because all of those are either unstable (the white fog) or artificial (the 2 doors). Moreover, Parano strange and dangerous nature makes it a poor choice of place to flee into.

## Trivia

* The name "Ri-komo" is an inversion of "Koumori" (蝙蝠) which means bat in Japanese.

## Story Synopsis

***Awaken...***

This is the only thing the youth of Hai to Gensō no Grimgar remember before awakening in an unknown building in a medieval landscape enshrouded in darkness. They don't remember anything besides their own names. What's stranger is that sometimes they catch themselves saying words that they don't understand, even though they seem so familiar.

The group of strangers is told that in order to make a living, they would have to join the Reserve Army forces to keep the town safe from nearby monsters. The stronger looking people form a team to join the Reserve Army and depart, leaving Manato, Haruhiro, Ranta, Yume, Moguzo, and Shihoru left to fend for themselves. But how will they get by if they can't even defeat the weakest of monsters?

Born from the ashes of their old memories, the ragtag team of six start a new life in the world of Grimgar.

Undead

The **Undead** (不死族, lit. *undying race*) are beings created from corpses given the black blood of the No-Life King.

Skeletons, zombies, and ghosts are not technically undead even if humans view them as such. The undead are creatures that have died but are not dead nor do they decompose. They have regenerative abilities that prevent them from being destroyed. Not even destroying the brain or burning them will stop them. It is thought that the No-Life King gave his black blood to dead bodies to turn them into the undead. With the No-Life King gone, the priests of the undead perform the "ritual of undeath" to undeathen corpses.

Those who become undead lose their previous memories and often pledge allegiance to the No-life king, however not all of them do and some even choose to work alongside humans (like Jimmy) or unaffiliated groups (like Arnold of Forgan).

Finally, the Five Princes are a group of special Undead who once were the No-Life King closest Vassal.
Thieves' Guild

A profession that focuses on speed and agility to back stab and assassinate opponents with melee attacks. They often carry light weaponry such as knives and daggers with little armor. Their modus operandi is self-responsibility, freedom, and lack of restrictions. All thieves are issued a trade name based on personal characteristics that they use.

The guild is unique in that it does not have a strict set of rules but a code of guidelines that include:

* Not operating in an area claimed by another Thief.
* Not stealing or conducting business on another Thief or fellow reserve members.
* Conditions that apply only to *Crimson Moon* soldiers are that one party is allowed only one Thief at a time.

The Thieves' basis trait of the art of thievery causes prejudicial disdain of the guild among the public view. Many of its members are volunteer soldiers and rarely steal as their daily activity.

## History

The Guild's origins go to the Kingdom of Arabakia where they were a secret society called **Black Widow**. When Arabakia started to expand into the frontier, Black Widow offered their assistance in return for the release of their imprisoned comrades. Those who went to the frontier as scouts later on formed the Thieves' Guild.

## Abilities

Thieves are adept at seizing opportunities. They are trained to use silent movements and can move in the shadows. From stealing objects to fighting opponents, the Thief's near nonexistent presence makes them unwary to people around them. This helps the Thief to silently prey and unexpectedly strike on their victims when an opportunity is open.
Their capability as covert fighters garner the guild to be excellent scouts and are often chosen for surveying enemy territory.

### Gleaming Line

A mysterious and secret Thief skill that seems to come and go to all Thieves. A line of light that seemingly predicts how an opponent will move, it creates a path for the thief to instantly kill the enemy in one strike. Barbara notes that it shouldn't be relied on as it occurs completely at random. It is an unusual skill as it rarely happens to any Thief, appearing only once or twice in their lifetime.

## Mentors:

Senior members who become instructors have the duty in giving their pupils their trade names.

* Barbara - Haruhiro's and Sakanami's mentor
* Choco's teacher

Episode 5: Crying Doesn't Mean You're Weak. Enduring Doesn't Mean You're Strong

## **Crying Doesn't Mean You're Weak. Enduring Doesn't Mean You're Strong**

**Crying Doesn't Mean You're Weak. Enduring Doesn't Mean You're Strong** is the 5th episode of *Hai to Gensō no Grimgar* anime adaptation. It first aired on February 08, 2016.

## Plot

The group is despondent after Manato's death and funeral. The boys decide that they cannot proceed without a priest in the party and, with Haruhiro acting as spokesman, recruit Mary.

She, however, proves to be a sullen, taciturn person who rubs everyone in the group the wrong way. How will they function if they cannot fully accept one another?

## Summary

Ranta tells the group he's leaving, and Yume yells at him that he's a jerk.

Haruhiro and Moguzo later finds him in the tavern, and Ranta gets 2 more drinks. they yell at each other for a bit, before calming down. Then a member from another party shows up and tells them that he can hear them from across the tavern. He asks them whats up with "Manny" and Ranta tells him Manato has died. He doesn't really sympathize with them and tells them that priests are targeted because they heal the others. He then hooks them up with a new priest called Mary.

The next day, they failed at introducing themselves and when they battled goblins, Mary disagreed with their battle-plan. She told them that the priest should never be a vanguard (which is a good point). She then refuses to heal Ranta when he is cut, telling them that he can suck it up till after the battle.

Ranta and the other boys are venting about her, when Renji shows up and tries to pay his respects by giving them a gold piece. Haruhiro quickly gives it back, telling his party that Manato wouldn't want them to spend money they didn't earn.

Haruhiro then goes to confront the girls. Yume walks out of the house, and sees him. Haruhiro asks her if she's mad at him and she replies that she isn't. She asks why he would think that and he replies that he recruited Mary without asking the girls. Yume breaks and shoves him against the wall, yelling at him that that wasn't it. She tells him that she thought they were all friends. Haruhiro apologizes for letting himself and the other guys seclude the girls. Haruhiro and Yume start crying about Manato.

When Haruhiro and Yume finish crying, Yume is cuddled with Haruhiro in the mud. She asks him if she can stay in his arms for awhile longer, because it made her feel warm. Shihoru then opens the bathhouse window and notices them there. She frantically says she's sorry, while Haruhiro figures out that she's misunderstanding the situation. He tries to tell her that she's not interrupting anything, but she quickly closes the window. Yume then randomly shrieks, telling Haruhiro that she just got why Shihoru was embarrassed.

## Lyrics

* English

Road of dust Beyond here

Out beyond that dirt road...

The black horses trample forth

Across the dry lands

Out beyond the distance

The soaring hawks peer out

Through to the gusty wind

And the harsh winds howl on

The desert wolves cry on too

And here, lies the bleak

And dry dusty crossroads

One path shows us what we must do

So take my hand and let's go on through

The barren desert lands of mothe Earth

Where the harshest heat scorches the skies

And so let's go

Please ride with me on

The dusty arid lands of mother Earth

Where the scorches of sun goes on...

As the sun dies down, the lands sleeps

(The moon sits high above the sky)

They sleep (it shines bright)

Until the break of dawn

As earth's servants sleep

Under desert stars

(The stars look down on the land)

They sleep (it shines bright)

Until the sun rises up

Out beyond that desert

Where that rusty station once stood

Is now nothing

And the harsh heat scorches on

The dry dusty eart burns too

And here, lies the bleak and dry arid crossroads

That path shows us what we must do

So take my hand and let's ride on through

The barren desert lands of mother Earth

Where the harshest heat scorches the skies

And so let's go

Please ride with me on

The dusty arid lands of mother Earth

Where the scorches of the sun goes on and on...

Is this where we stand right here now?

On this road...

Shall we ride out this path now?

And shall we go

Please ride with me on

The dusty arid lands of mother Earth

Where the horses run on around wild

Now take my hand and let's fight on through

The barren desert lands of mother Earth

Where our headlights shine out on the road

Now we must go

Please trust me now on

The dusty arid lands of mother Earth

Out to the horizon out on that path we ride

Dusty roads Beyond here

## Lyrics

* English

As I walk through the shadow of the valley of death

I fear no evil, cuz I've got you by my side

The sword of justice cuts through to spread

A life, a future, a day for us to shine

Gotta go it's time, here I come to make it right

Slowly I walk into the silent, gutsy, winding path

All my life I've been lost and searching

Hey comrades take a stance

It's time to take a shot

I don't care if you're lost

I dont care if you're off

I don't care if it hurt

Go ahead and get some blood

You know where we are now

There's no one you can trust

Just keep on slaying on

You'll need that courage on

I don't care if you're lost

I don't care if you're off

I don't care if you're hurt

Show your thing and throw some mud

I know where you are now

Those are the days of lust

Just keep it going on

And keep that blazing on

Wonder where I'll go from here, in this battlefield

But I know that...

I will shout till all is burnt and swept

I'll bring the fire in and drain

I wanna hear you screaming for my name

(C'mon show what you got)

Singin in the fame

Even when the future's gray

I'll shine my sword to show and lead the way

(Fightin' till I win, time's tickin', better start runnin' for your life,

I don't care about a war crime)

Dust and ashes are the same

The savage wars will never end

The blood I shed will turn to soil and blend

Nothing's gonna stop my blade from slaying them

I'll keep my faith

Dread Knights

## Dread Knights' Guild

A Dread Knight is similar to the Warrior in combat style however the class favors more medium-range combat. The sword skills a Dread Knight uses is known as the Dark Arts of Battle. A Dread Knight prefers to suddenly close in only to attack enemies while staying just outside striking range at all other times.

Dread Knights worship the Dark God and Ruler of Death **Skullhell** (スカルヘル, *Sukaruheru*). The profession involves summoning and being possessed by a personal demon that grows in power along with the Dread Knight’s skill. Dread Knights are forbidden to worship any other god and unlike other guilds, once you join the Dread Knights you are not allowed to leave. Due to this restriction, not many volunteer soldiers become Dread Knights. Less than 1 out of 20 volunteer soldiers become Dread Knights.

The Dread Knight's Guild is located in the slums of West Town, an area in Alterna. It is underground and has been described as dank and jail-like.

There appears to be some form of hierarchy within the guild as an unknown number hold the position of lord. Their faces are always disguised and they never show kindness of any kind to others.

Dark Magic from Skulheill does not work in the Dusk Realm.

1. ↑ Demons can only be used after sunset, when the God of Light, *Lumiaris*’ power waned and Lord Skulheill’s born enemy. As a demon grows in power they can be summoned at sunset and sunrise, and at the highest level can be summoned during the day.
2. ↑ Demons are ranked by Vices. Zero to ten Vices is rank one and a demon is capable of give a warning when enemies are near. Eleven to forty is rank two and the demon is now capable of distracting enemies by whispering things in their ears. Rank three is after a Dread Knight has collected forty-one or more Vices, and the demon can now trip up enemies or otherwise obstruct their movement.
3. ↑ A demon is not a pet and must be negotiated with or appeased. Ranta’s demon, who he named **Zodiac**, is as lazy and prideful as he is, causing it to only help him when it feels like it. Ranta claims demons can also curse people.
