Episode 6: Her Circumstances

## **Her Circumstances**

**Her Circumstances** is the 6th episode of *Hai to Gensō no Grimgar* anime adaptation. It first aired February 15, 2016.

## Plot

Haruhiro and Yume discuss Merry's coldness and convince the rest of the group to try to make Merry welcome, leading to internal disagreement. Haruhiro's attempts to get Merry to open up are rebuffed and he asks a former comrade of hers about her attitude. It is revealed that her cold demeanor is due to the loss of her friends: she, like Manato before her, healed every little scrape that her party had suffered and so, when the others really needed healing, her magic was depleted and they died.

## Summary

Yume and Haruhiro try to explain to everyone what the misunderstanding was. They then try to get to know Merry.

Haruhiro realizes that Manato's wish was for Haruhiro to become the leader. Haruhiro didn't think he could take his place, but when he talks with Manato's spirit (could be imagination), he decides to give it a try.

In battle, Moguzo gets hit in the head, and Ranta gets cut in the arm. Mary refuses to heal them, and they kill the goblins. Merry apologizes to Moguzo and heals his head, determining that it was serious enough to use her magic on him. She refuses to heal Ranta's minor scratch, much to his annoyance. Haruhiro noticed that she only heals them at the end of battle.

In battle, he realizes that he never pays attention to anyone's fighting style, and realizes that Moguzo needed a helmet. After killing a goblin, he sneaks up behind Moguzo's enemy, and cut off the goblin's arm. Moguzo finished it off, and Haruhiro noticed Mary praying for the dead.

On their way back, Haruhiro tells Moguzo that he needed a helmet, and everyone decided to help chip in for one. Mary noticed this. In the next battle, Shihoru was in danger, and Mary defended her with her staff. Haruhiro noticed that even though Mary said her staff was just decoration, she had invested some skills into attack. On their way back he thanked her. She asked what for, but he didn't reply.

Haruhiro asks her to join them to eat, but she politely refuses. Haruhiro noticed it, and thinks she's starting to be friendlier. They all go to a guild guy's hall to ask him about Mary, because they saw him talking to her. He tells them that they should ask her formal party member. Hayashi tells them a story about how she was kind of like Manato, the way she healed everyone's wounds all the time. She was always happy. Until one day they fought a big monster, and Hayashi was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, 2 of his party members were dead, and the last one, Michiki, was holding off the monster. He yelled at Mary to heal Michiki. But she apologized saying she used all of her magic.

Merry blamed herself for the 3 lives lost, because she ran out of magic using it up on minor wounds.

Episode 9: How to Rest

## **How to Rest**

**How to Rest** is the 9th episode of *Hai to Gensō no Grimgar* anime adaptation. It first aired March 7, 2016.

## Plot

Haruhiro and the group take a day off. During dinner, Haruhiro suggests that they change hunting grounds to the Siren Caves, citing increased goblin activity at their present hunting area. Merry, surprised by this, excuses herself and leaves because it is in those mines that she lost her friends to a particularly large and savage kobold named Death Spot. Despite their misgivings and Merry's obvious emotional baggage, they are determined to try it. During a training session with Barbara, Haruhiro asks her about the streaks of light that he has seen while fighting, which seem to show him how and where to strike.

## Summary

For a day, the party agreed on having a break though Haruhiro seemed to find that it felt odd. Early in the morning, Ranta had gone fishing in a boat by a lake. Moguzo spent his time improving his cooking skills and fixing his armor and sword. Haruhiro had encountered Shihoru on the bridge, which she spent her time overlooking the scenery. He later went to the lodging that Merry stayed in, talking and enjoying a hot beverage with. By this time, Yume was still asleep though afterwards, Ranta caught her climbing a cliff.

As it got to evening, the party met at Shelly's Tavern and discussed the issue of their next mission. Although everyone agreed on going to the Cyrene Mine, Merry wasn't ready and left to catch some air. Haruhiro followed her out and talked with her, which got her to finally decide to overcome the grief of her former comrades. Preparing for the fight, Haruhiro went to learn a new skill from his mentor who teased and somewhat tortured him, asking about his interests in girls.

The next day, they set out for the Cyrene Mine.

Mages' Guild

The quintessential magic profession in Grimgar, they draw a magic diagram in mid-air that releases spells. A spell can be sped up or slowed down depending on a mage’s experience and skill. Preventing or distracting a Mage from finishing the diagram cancels the spell.

The Mage's Guild is located in East Town, which is a high end residential area, and is in an elegant mansion with white walls.

Mages have no close combat ability and thus they typically stay in the back of parties where it's much safer. An excessive casting of spells drains a Mage's stamina and energy.

While all Mages can cast very basic spells, more experienced Mages use the power of magical beings called elementals. The elements include *Arve*, the magic of fire; *Kanon* the magic of ice; *Falz* the magic of lightning; and *Darsh*, the magic of shadow. Mages can cast improved versions of the spells they know by adding *el* to the incantation as shown with ***Shadow Echo*** and ***Shadow Mist*** which are the improved versions of ***Shadow Beat*** and ***Sleepy Shade***. Elementals do not like metals, which is why Mages go unarmed and unarmored. There is a process called Elemental Coating that allows a Mage to use coated metal objects and still cast spells. It is very expensive.

Due to Shihoru using *Darsh* spells, the majority of magic currently known focuses on that branch. The majority of *Darsh* spells confuse or stun enemies rather than directly damage them. It’s main purpose is to support parties in fights. *Darsh* spells seem to have a reduced effect on undead opponents.

According to Gohho, there is a limited number of spells that the Mage's Guild will or can teach. After that, a mage must study and experiment to discover new spells and ways to use them.

### Mentors

Senior members that become instructors in the Mages' Guild carry the title of *Wizard*.

* Wizard Yoruka - Shihoru's mentor. A female mage who looks 25 but is over 40. She wears a blackish outfit with a black hat.
* Wizard Sarai - a senior mage who teaches new mages the basics such as Magic Missile. Also known as the great elder mage of the Mage's Guild. Is over 100 years old and was a volunteer trainee soldier. His back is hunched over and his face is hidden in a large, white, bushy beard and eyebrows. According to him he is going senile and can't see well.

Runes (Alphabet)

Some written information is present in this anime starting with episode 1. Runes are similar to letters. Decoding is based on the inscription on the gravestone of Manato (ep.5 0min:12s). There is the same number of letters and letter “A” is used twice. It presumes English (Latin) alphabet is used and letters are directly encoded by some runes.

Most informative episodes for alphabet decoding are views of the job request board in episode 1 (12min:21s), episode 9 (10min:25s). Inscriptions on the posters help to decode most of Latin alphabet because English language is used. Some letters are represented by more than one rune. For example letters A D L N are codded with symbols and mirrored symbols.

A lot of the runes are rotated or partially cut-off ordinary Latin letters, which simplifies the decoding.

Here is screenshot of the poster board and its translation:

English words which can be found:

MANATO, RED, MOON, REWARD, GOLD, WANTED, LYCANTHROPE, UNDEAD, DEADSPOT, GARUDA, VAMPYRE, DULLAHAN, GOLEM, GARGOYL.

Latin (English) to runes:

However some letters cannot be found in English words. Letters “I”, “K” and "B"can be decoded from handwriting of Manato (ep.3 18min:33s). But some letters (F J V X Z) cannot be found easily and there is still no complete match for the Latin alphabet and the runes of the anime. Punctuation marks are also not known.

There are a few important “messages”. One is words “Red Moon” on coins and badges. We can expect the Sky and the Moon in particular have some extraordinary meaning for the physical world of the anime. The second is the text in (presumably) a diary written by Manato before his death (ep.3 18min:33s). However this text is at least partially in Japanese.

The following is an attempt to decipher the screenshot to the right, using and improving on the character table above.

GURIMUGARU DE NO\_NO\_AME

KyOU HA NAO\_ HAJIMETE NO KARI NI DE-

TA

IMA NERATTE! DORO GOBURIN

SOITtSU HA NIN'GEN NO KOROMO K[e-]

DARURU WO KABUTTA

GHUJU GHUJU HAE'RU KAMI N[o ke]

Approximate meaning:

"?? in Grimgar

As of today, we went out on our first hunt.

Current target: the Mud Goblin.

It wears sloppy human clothes, its hair is all messed up..."

Future insight: some prediction regarding the future plot of the anime can possibly be made by comparing quest board content in episode 1 (12min:21s), and episode 12 (17min:58s) where the poster for the Deadspot monster is removed. The poster for Lycanthrope (werewolf) is also gone. The second season could possibly be linked to the remaining monsters: Dullahan (headless knight), Golem (clay made monster), Gargoyle, Garuda (bird-like creature), Undead, Vampyre. It is possible that instead of following the plot of the light novel, the anime will concentrate on (or at least include) fighting these monsters.
Kisaragi

Kisaragi is the main character of the Spin-off series, What’s Wrong with a Great Hero Being Jobless, and a side character in the main series. He is the boss of the K&K pirate company and technically still a volunteer soldier recruit as he left Alterna before buying his badge.

Kisaragi is a strange case among volunteer soldier for many reasons: his generation was small, he rapidly left Alterna, traveled to the Red Continent, found a pirate company, had one of his arm replaced, and is, as far as we know, one of (if not the only) person to have established friendly contact with the Zwiba.

## Appearance

Kisaragi is a rather short and thin man, with black hair and eyes. Despite his carefree attitude, Kisaragi has gone through quite a lot and his left hand had to be replaced by a prosthetic and he also most likely also lost his right eye has it's said that the black eyepatch he wears over it isn't just for show. However, what is *just for show* is his grand mustache, which is completely fake, Kisaragi having opt to wear it since people from the Red Continent tended to view him as a child otherwise.

According to Yume he is a rather unimpressive man and she notes that his grandiloquent clothing is wearing him rather than the other way around.

## Personality

Most of the time, Kisaragi is a laid back, flamboyant man but when the situation call for it he can be deathly serious and isn't afraid to put himself in harm way for what matter.

## Plot

Like other volunteer soldier, Kisaragi one day woke inside the Forbidden Tower, however his generation was smaller than most and only 2 people woke up alongside him: Momohina and Ichika.

## Abilities

### Prosthetic arm

Has Kisaragi lost his left arm in a fight in Dai eiyuu volume 3, it had to replaced by a metal one. The prosthetic is very well made, Yume commenting that his metal hand moves as smoothly as the really one, however it's unknown if it has any fighting capability and if it's a relic. Regardless, the arm has already proven itself to be tremendously useful as, according to Kisaragi, it was the reason the Zwiba didn't eat him, giving him time to befriend them.

## Relationships

### Momohina

She is really closed to him, calling him using strange pet names (like *Kisaragicchon*). They're part of the same generation and she is one of the 2 girls he woke up alongside, as such they were part of the same party for a long time. However, when Kisaragi chose to go explore the Red Continent she decided to stay behind as a representative of the K&K pirate company. They were later reunited when he came back to Grimgar.

### Anjolina Kreiztal

Anjolina is the president of the K&K pirate company and her name makes up one of the K in the company's name. She was a pirate from the start and the captain of the Bachrose-go, however she chose to follow Kisaragi to the Red Continent leaving her brother in charge of the company.

Riley O'Connor

### Aliases

Banshee / Clover / Red Stag / Silverfish / Halloween / Alice Kyteler / Grace O'Malley

### Relatives

Unknown Mother / Unknown Deceased Father / Unnamed Brother

## Physical description

### Eye color

Light Blue

**Riley O'Connor** is a 22 year old Irish mercenary from the great state of Ireland, known for her combat efficiency to eliminate targets with ease as well as her proficiency with firearms that aid in these eliminations.

## History

Riley was born the oldest daughter in a small abode within the region of Northern Ireland, accompanied by her single mother and brother. Left without her father at a very young age and the oldest of his children, she took it upon herself to be her family's provider and caretaker. As a growing teen, she began to take mercenary jobs to not only support her mother and brother, but also as an outlet for her energetic and roguish behavior.

However, on what seemed like another routine contract in the city of London, she was confronted by a member of her rival group who revealed to her that the O'Connor family name was made up of little more than a collection of cheats, crooks and criminals who broke the law day in and day out. Enraged at the sudden realization and the accusing words of the target, she shot him multiple times in the chest in blind rage, continuing to pull the trigger even well after she ran out of ammunition. She immediately fled the scene in shame and hatred and gave her goodbyes to her mother and brother, fleeing Ireland with the fear that if she stayed longer, her family would be in more danger then it was now.

Her first instinct was to stay in the Eastern Continent, but due to the apparent surfacing of her criminal record filled with overwhelming charges ranging from arson to assault, she fled across the Atlantic to the Americas. She was, however, left in the dark and she began to weigh her options and realized that if she had to undertake the merc jobs that her family name was known for, she'd at least bring fear and pride to the O'Connor name once more. As her popularity in the Underworld grew, she began to run her identity under multiple aliases to stack against the staggering number of requests she began to carry out. Despite this, most of the money and rewards she earns is sent in secrecy back to her family in Ireland under the guise of an accounting firm check; simply so that her family can continue to live in solace and peace.

## Lyrics

* English

Out on our own

Uncertainty and worries would haunt us

With fear and despair,

And so let us Unite as one

Fight with courage!

I saw in your eyes the fire

That burns with passion

You walk the world with certainty

And strength and courage

What you have taught me here

The strength as one

Out in my own

Just my mere courage alone

Is not enough to triumph at all

And so, my friend taught me to be brave and strong

Out on our own

As the wind howls loud and the rain cries fiercely

I know we mustn't give up

So, let's Unite together

Come on and fight!

I saw in your eyes the fire

That burns with passion

You walk the world with certainty

And the strength and courage

What you have taught me here

The strength as one

Out in my own

Just my mere courage alone

Is not enough to triumph at all

And so, you friend taught me to be brave and strong

Out on our own

As the wind howls loud and rain cries fiercely

I know we mustn't give up

So, let's Unite together

Confront and fight!

Jord Horn

**Jord Horn** (ジョルド・ホーン, *Jorudo Hōn*) is one of the 3 Brigadier General of the Frontier Army. He died fighting when the Southern expedition took Alterna.

## Plot

### Level. 15 A Fleeting New Game Plus

It's mentioned that he and fellow Brigadier General Ian Ratty are said to have died fighting during the Southern expedition's assault on Alterna. As they're not found after the Expeditionary force retakes the city it seems pretty certain that they're indeed dead.

## Abilities

Nothing is really known about his abilities but Anthony Justeen held him in high esteem and he was a close associate of the renowned General Rasentra. As such he was likely a skilled leader and most likely, at least, a decent fighter.

## Relationships

### Graham Lasentora

As one of the Brigadier General, Jord was under General Rasentra order, the 2 were close associate and it was thought that if the General did end up leaving the Frontier for the mainland he would take Jord with him.
