I'm Standing on a Million Lives (2020) s01e02 Episode Script
This City I Hate So Much
1
What?
Yotsuya, you haven't turned in
your preference form, have you?
Well
Our teacher preached at you, didn't he?
What about you, Shindo?
I haven't decided on a career.
As for high school, I wrote down
Morokoshi Science Vocational High School.
So did Kusue.
I see.
Kusue has everything planned, right?
I want to study in the department
of pharmacy in university.
In the future,
I want to do pharmaceutical research.
This is so embarrassing.
Not at all.
You can do it, Kusue.
Can I?
Yes. Just go for it!
I'M STANDING ON A MILLION LIVES
The strange routine in front of me
Stepping out of common sense
Cutting off the comforting link
to look for the true light
My back is against the wall,
I can't give in
(Be tough, don't cry, keep going)
The reality is a matter of life or death
The enthusiasm within my heart
(surviving in despair)
Entering the spiritual world
(fearless, striving)
We were born with loneliness
Walk side by side,
and be vulnerable no more
Even in the face of life's uncertainty
The fire of life will never die
With courage in my hand, I stand strong
Fight for tomorrow
Okay, let's go find a goblin.
Please eliminate it and save the village!
At my current level
Run! You're no match of it.
At my current level,
I not only can't eliminate it
but I'll also be devoured like Shindo.
I must defeat some minor monsters
to get upgraded.
Log dot.
Say,
if next week, the newbie is a boy,
who would you want it to be, Kusue?
Yamada.
Oh, the one who competed in
the national Judo competition.
That's not what I meant.
I meant the boy that you like.
I hate boys.
Why?
They're all childish and violent.
And they tell dirty jokes.
I don't like that.
Such a baby.
You're also just a kid.
As for me
I'd say Yotsuya.
No, wait.
Right, there are two Yotsuya
in the same grade.
Which one?
Well
That one.
I didn't hear it!
Which one was it?
Anyway, it's one or the other.
Moreover, it's two girls
and one boy at the moment.
They might profess their love to me.
Great!
I have to do my best.
A forest with a view of the village.
How nostalgic.
Speaking of the devil.
HEADQUARTERS
Whenever I think of it,
my mind darkens with rage.
I'm Yotsuya Yusuke from Kumamoto.
I missed one! Darn it!
Calm down. I got too worked up.
Level nine.
YOTSUYA YUSUKE, FARMER LEVEL 9
KNOWLEDGE OF EDIBLE PLANTS
I'm almost level ten now.
I would have been upgraded
if I hadn't missed that one.
By the way, is there a feature
to change my occupation?
Will I have to stay like this?
No way.
There were so many occupations.
There must be something else.
Anyway, I'd like to have a knife, a knife!
The only person that can use the sword
is Hakozaki. That's completely pointless.
HAKOZAKI KUSUE, WARRIOR (SWORD) LEVEL 1
Doesn't she hate boys?
I wish I could be a warrior.
HAKOZAKI KUSUE
DEAD, TIME UNTIL REVIVAL
Hakozaki died?
What did she do?
Isn't she in the village?
I remember the quest was
COMPLETE VILLAGE CHIEF'S TASK
Did we fail the quest?
What happens if we fail?
Are we going to die?
Anyway, I must rush to the village.
TIME UNTIL REVIVAL
She didn't revive.
No way! Hakozaki was also devoured?
In other words,
if I die, we die for real.
Where are the villagers?
Hello?
A log dot.
Please, give me some information.
Why are you working so hard
to swing the sword?
I'm so sickly in the real world
that I can't do exercise too hard.
So, I'm swinging something
this heavy for the first time.
The real world?
To avoid relapse, I have to
take very expensive drugs every month.
My parents had wanted to
have another child.
Here in this world,
I won't have to worry about getting ill.
I might even grow stronger.
However, I've been a burden.
I've been nothing but a burden to others
since I was born.
And that was the only way
I could survive.
So, while I'm healthy,
I want to help everyone.
What was I saying? Sorry.
I suddenly said such nonsense.
Anyway, I'll do my best.
If anything happens,
I'll protect everyone!
I
Haven't I only cared about myself
since I arrived in this world?
The Troll!
Run! I'll buy us some time!
No, it's not just that.
It isn't since I arrived in this world.
I've been always like this.
Please leave the village!
Wait!
"Shield."
Save me
Save me
Yotsuya.
I
What do I do now? Fight
No, I must run.
I can't die yet!
I'm going to die!
RULES OF REVIVAL
REVIVAL OCCURS AFTER A SPECIFIC DURATION
ALL DAMAGES WILL BE UNDONE
WITHIN HALF OF THE DURATION
IF REVIVAL IS FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE DEATH,
BEING IN THE SEA, REVIVAL COUNTDOWN STOPS
After we graduate from high school,
we'll come here again
to dig out the time capsule.
Sure!
We must come back here.
Yes. We're all looking forward to it.
After graduating from high school
In the future,
I want to do pharmaceutical research.
I wasn't interested at all.
I didn't pay any attention.
I've been nothing but a burden to others
since I was born.
That was the only way
that I could survive so
Up until that moment
What?
The dream of a sickly child
who's caused her parents so much trouble
is to do pharmaceutical research.
How stereotypical! How heart-warming.
Damn it.
Are you even better than me?
How can I let this person
die in the Other World?
Okay, I'll do everything I can!
I'll never let anyone better than me die.
Not then
Not ever!
It only hops like a frog at full speed?
If so, I can duck by changing
my direction when it hops.
I can shake it off if I keep going!
As long as I keep going!
If I just keep running away,
it's just as pointless!
I have to launch an attack somehow.
Oh no!
Upgrade!
It stopped.
Congratulations! You've reached level ten.
Awesome! I made it!
Game master, why is your voice different?
It's time to change occupations.
Spin the occupation roulette.
That's too fast!
At least let me savor the moment!
Never mind.
Anyway, I want a knife. Warrior.
Give me knives!
A cook.
UPGRADE BONUS ADDED UP SEQUENTIALLY
BY THE PARAMETER (ORIGINAL SKILL -100)÷2
KNOWLEDGE OF MONSTERS' (LEVEL C AND BELOW)
ANATOMY AND CULINARY METHODS
KNOWLEDGE EDIBLE PLANTS
In total, you have these skills.
So lame.
No, hold on.
FRUIT KNIFE, CHEF'S KNIFE
I have a knife!
What's this?
KNOWLEDGE OF MONSTERS' (LEVEL C AND BELOW)
ANATOMY AND CULINARY METHODS
It's the cook's skills?
Well, the game will now resume.
Bye.
Your stomach, it should be here!
It's too hard!
I must cut through to the stomach!
How's that?
Yes, it works.
I did it!
Thank goodness.
Even if we revive,
we'd die immediately in the stomach.
It was a dead end.
Yotsuya, you saved us.
Yes.
Sort of.
By the way, Yotsuya, your outfit changed?
My occupation is now a cook.
A cook?
Whatever. I now know its attack pattern.
Come here!
That's it!
We can dodge it by changing the direction
as soon as it hops.
No, that's too energy-consuming.
Even if we can dodge it,
I doubt we can do it more than twice.
No, not necessarily.
The monster is exhausted.
Is it because of the bleeding?
That thing has been jumping around
for almost 20 meters now.
Let's do this, Kusue.
Yes.
That's so tough, its muscle is tough.
Even if we figured that out
Okay!
Attacking with enough force
to break down the troll's defense
Revived!
It was impossible.
We're not dying that often now.
It's because we got used to its movement.
Even so, if we don't defeat it,
sooner or later, we'll
Wind magic can only manipulate the air.
At my level, this is all I can do.
Shindo.
I'll enter from its wound
and attack from inside.
Shindo, you'll
Okay. Understood.
The main attacking range is
between the elbow and the finger tips.
Well then, with all my determination,
jump right in there!
Here I go!
I can immobilize it.
Shindo, you'll
Inside that troll's body
"Wind"
Blow in air.
We did it!
Iu, that's impressive!
Congratulations!
You scared me!
You have cleared the stage.
Oh, have we?
By the way,
why do you always appear from behind?
Amazing, we're upgraded.
HAKOZAKI KUSUE, LEVEL ONE TO FOUR
SHINDO IU, LEVEL THREE TO FIVE
The magician is barely upgraded.
The farmer and cook upgrade so fast.
YOTSUYA YUSUKE, LEVEL ONE TO FIVE
It's true.
Well, the cook, Yotsuya Yusuke,
as the reward of clearing the stage,
you may ask a question.
I told you, everything happens too fast.
Let me savor the moment.
Let me think what should I ask?
The first week, I asked "Why me?"
Someone we know picked us.
The second week, I asked "Who are you?"
This dude is from the future.
And so is the commissioner?
What's his purpose?
What do these folks from
the future want from us?
In ten weeks,
or after we've cleared ten stages,
what are we going to do?
What?
Very well, please watch a recording
of what's happening in our world.
Is this our city?
Okay! Next is the last summoned monster!
Split up!
Go get it!
What was that?
What was that?
We we're back.
We
Are we going to fight against
that monster?
Whatever. I'm going to my club.
Look at the time.
The time has stopped the moment we left.
No, at such a time
There should be a few weeks of time
before the fourth week starts.
I'll be alive for the grand event.
The efforts I've made in
the past two years won't be in vain.
Thank you so much!
True, now that she's in the third year,
she'll have to retire soon.
I'm off.
Yotsuya, don't forget to walk Kusue home.
My heart is still beating so fast.
We were in that world for more than a day
but here, the time hasn't changed at all.
What's more, we need to
clear seven more stages.
Otherwise, we'll die.
Well Thank you.
We would have been dead
if it weren't for Yotsuya.
To be honest, I don't think I've ever
walked home with a girl alone before.
After all, we're in this together.
Isn't it rare to hear people say
"I'll protect you" these days?
I don't know.
I don't like that.
I'm rebellious.
I don't like the mainstream.
Gosh, I sound redundant.
Anyway, if we get more people to survive
in that world,
it will do us all some good.
I think it suits me well.
I see.
What a load of nonsense.
Suddenly, I realize that
if I give up on the quests,
the city that I hate the most,
might be destroyed.
EPISODE 2, THE CITY THAT I HATE THE MOS
In the shiny world
Embracing the moment
In the shiny world
Now, now, now
How can I become stronger
The reason why I always feel lost
Now, now, now
Memories sparkle
If I could become you or somebody else
Flying birds
Now, now, now
Must share the same wishes
Even though all the "ifs" come true
I won't be me again
Write down your dream and my name
On the beach with an hour hand
It'll disappear soon
Even so, I want to be me for once
Unpredictable future
Moving forward with you
In the shiny world
Embracing the moment

SIDE QUEST TWO EXPLORING THE REAL YOTSUYA
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOTSUYA?
Yotsuya?
He's quite cute.
I think he's a trustworthy person.
He's a nice guy.
People like him would be the protagonist.
PEOPLE LIKE HIM WOULD BE THE PROTAGONIST.
Yotsuya? Do you mean?
CUTE, GOOD GUY, TRUSTWORTHY YOTSUYA.
Oh, that one.
I don't know,
I've never really talked to him.
What?
