I'm Standing on a Million Lives (2020) s01e05 Episode Script

What a Life Is Worth

1
Hoshi, shoot!
Rebound!
Out!
Why?
I hate PE classes.
It's the doctor's orders and besides,
my grades are always still the worst.
Due to my condition, I always
have the worst grades in my class.
That's why I must find
my self-identity elsewhere.
I want to develop a drug
to cure the illness that mom and I have.
Doctor of Pharmacy studies
last at least six years.
Besides, we can't afford
to pay for a private university.
There's a scholarship.
I'll work hard for it!
But you have to work even harder
than you already do to get in.
I know.
Go for it, Kusue.
Yes.
However
"Wind!"
However
Oh no!
Everyone has been taken out?
Don't go out!
They won't find us here.
There are more down here! Kill them!
But, one day
The warriors! We found the three warriors!
That's too violent.
Meaningless violence
has become my most important
survival skill.
Hey! Have you checked the shed over there?
Collect all the valuables
before burning them.
This looks good.
I'll take it.
We'll split everything evenly,
hand it over.
I feel as if my world is crumbling
under my feet.
Not to mention self-identity,
even the premises of survival
have changed.
The premises of peace and stability
I
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
It's about time to rest the horses.
Let's camp around here.
Okay. It's getting dark.
It's delicious.
Yes, it's really delicious.
Thank you.
You still don't have any appetite?
I took a bite.
That was a scary sight to behold.
Yes.
What happened back then
has been stuck in my head.
Don't worry about having no appetite.
We don't really get hungry in this world.
I
I want to protect everyone.
I want to protect my partners
and the people in this world.
But I can't even protect myself.
All I do is hold you back.
Kusue
Maybe I can't do it at all.
I still feel bad about letting a warrior
cook for us.
Don't. I'm pretty good at cooking.
I'm sure he's only after
the experience points.
Once I reached level 10, I could retrieve
woks and other cooking utensils.
Level?
Yotsuya doesn't seem to be troubled by it
at all.
True.
Anyway, if a strong person works hard
to level up from the beginning,
he could get everything.
Warrior.
Do you want a refill?
It's about time to start training.
Training
You said that she trained you, right?
Yes.
Even when she went easy on me,
I only won 3 out of 100 fights we had.
Once, she went all out
and she had to try really hard
to kick my ass without killing me.
It was like living hell.
"Try really hard without killing you"?
So, when you came to save us
Please let me teach you sword fighting.
Fighting with the warriors
means that I can swing my sword
without mercy.
Well
No, but if this is the only option,
so be it.
Great! This means I can
hack at flesh as I wish!
I'm going to tell my dad!
Seeing her so thrilled
I was really worried.
We'll start with you then.
Are you serious?
I'll start attacking in five seconds.
Okay.
What I love to do
is to tear apart living flesh!
What's wrong with this person?
She's beautiful but her personality
is quite the opposite.
Are you all right, Yuka?
It's terrible.
Even though the feeling of pain
is only 1/36 of that in the real world,
it still hurts a lot.
Well, next is
She can't even lift a long sword.
This will take some time.
The modern day Japan I grew up in
has been peaceful and stable.
What's wrong?
We were attacked by Goblins
when collecting firewood. Makua, he
I was too careless.
You got hurt by mere Goblins.
How are you fit to be my subordinate?
I'm extremely sorry.
Everything I know has collapsed
in this alternate world.
My wounds are healing.
You can also use healing magic now?
By accelerating the cells' metabolism,
the wounds will heal faster.
So, the healing won't surpass
a person's regenerating ability.
It's the same with cooking.
You can gain experience without fighting.
Isn't that cheating?
Go complain to the system
if you disagree with it.
The system
We can't escape the rules
that the system forced on us.
I want to protect everyone.
For that, I must acquire experience
and become stronger.
You're moving faster now.
But it'll still take some time
before you can swing the long sword.
I must obtain experience.
We have spotted a group of Goblins.
Should we make a detour?
No, it's faster to eliminate them.
No.
We'll take care of it.
We've been training,
but we've not gained experience so far.
It's true.
He's been earning experience by using
healing magic. So much for saying that.
And you, Kusue?
No pressure.
Okay. Let's get some experience points!
Long swords are not necessary
to fight monsters like Goblins.
But I'm still worried.
"Fire."
"Wind."
Warrior!
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry!
YOTSUYA YUSUKE
LEVEL FIVE TO SIX
I've been working so hard,
but I'm not upgraded by much.
It's because your level
is higher than all of us.
Kusue, I heard that you defeated a Goblin.
Yes, sort of.
You finally made it.
I can still feel it in my hands.
That feeling, so soft.
I'm so happy that the inner swordswoman
has awaken in her.
But
Yes?
It's a shame that I didn't get to cut into
the Goblins' flesh with my own hands.
Well
Why do you enjoy cutting into
live bodies so much?
Good question.
There are so many perks of live bodies.
First of all, the toughness of the muscle.
Muscles used in combat
are sliced up layer by layer
by the tip of a knife.
The feeling of a muscle
gradually turning into dead flesh
That is
what happens in a sheer moment
when you swing the sword.
Moreover, that feeling in your hands
It's amazing!
Anyway, there might still be
some Goblins wandering around.
I'll go make a round.
Bimzberg, Makua!
Yes.
It's great if
I get to cut into some flesh!
According to Ms. Kahabell's father,
when he was teaching sword fighting
to her brother,
she heard him say "fighting a living being
is the best way to gain experience."
Yet she interpreted it
completely differently.
I guess, that's misthinking.
Something kids do.
"Misthinking?"
It's like mishearing,
but the brain version.
What does that mean?
I'm sorry.
But I
I want to protect everyone.
I have to stay alive.
I want to realize my dream.
Therefore, I must
Be brave and take lives.
THREAT LEVEL: COOK'S KNOWLEDGE OF
THE MONSTERS' THREAT LEVELS (G TO S)
THE THREAT LEVELS ARE SET ACCORDING TO
A REGULAR SOLDIER'S ABILITY
A SOLDIER IN TRAINING IS LEVEL F,
11 TO 50 SOLDIERS EQUALS A LEVEL C MONSTER
LEVEL S MONSTERS CAN'T BE DEFEATED EVEN BY
AN INFINITE NUMBER OF SOLDIERS
What's wrong?
Calm down.
Gosh!
Did we miss something?
It's completely stuck.
We almost broke it.
Is everyone all right?
Yes.
That was scary.
Bimzberg.
I'll handle this.
I'll help.
Let's go!
One, two, three!
It's coming up a bit.
Steady.
Okay.
Warrior, just a bit more.
Great, we got it out!
That was fun.
True.
All right, let's get going.
Understood.
EXPLORE 5% OF THE MAP (NOW 1.76 %)
DELIVER THE CARGO TO RADORPO
Time remaining: 5 hours and 15 days.
It's really tight.
Ms. Kahabell,
there seems to be something in front.
An army is attacked by monsters.
Whose army is it?
There are also some civilians
and children.
We must save them!
Are you serious?
I don't know if we have enough time.
It's better not to take a detour.
Let me out,
I'll go by myself.
Wait, Kusue. Calm down.
Don't you want to return alive?
The goal is to clear the stage, and you
I'm sorry.
But I've said this.
What?
Humans are not saved
simply by being kept alive.
In my opinion,
if we don't even save children,
nothing else matters.
So,
I can't do that.
What?
Is she trying to say "life is meaningless
if you turn your back on kids in need"?
Is she trying to be a hero?
On the other hand, she's right.
This might be an interesting event.
Event?
Is it a trial from the game master?
For instance, that group
might also be heading to Radorpo.
Very well, let's split up into two groups.
Hakozaki and I will go to save them.
The others, please carry on
with the journey.
We're splitting up?
We'll be quick
and return as soon as possible.
Will this do?
Yes.
But, they are almost wiped out!
What?
They have turned around!
Is it because of
the warrior's characteristics?
Mary Cobalt, Cobalt family.
Threat level, E minus, it's more powerful
than a regular soldier.
That means,
it's more powerful
than the both of us combined.
Are they
Warriors?
We'll stall them,
please attack from behind.
Understood!
KITE SHIELD, SHORT SWORD
No way
We're weaker and outnumbered.
They also attack in packs.
Look behind you!
It's not working!
Is it because of the language barrier?
It's not over yet!
It's over
Back-stab!
Why am I here?
It's meaningless if I can't fight.
It's meaningless
if I need to be protected.
LONG SWORD
Summoning the long sword
when the enemies let their guards down.
Since it's all in a split second,
the long sword isn't held up for long.
That's killing two birds with one stone.
Hakozaki, her personality has changed.
Whatever, anyway
There's one left.
Okay.
Hey! Over here!
Warrior!
Such a great slab of meat.
What's going on?
They must be shy with strangers?
Soldiers and civilians combined,
there is a total of
3, 4, 5, 6 survivors.
They are also wounded.
Will they be all right?
Yes, I think so.
I just absorbed some magic
from the monster's blood to refill my MP.
Is that possible?
I heard that a bandit
turned into a Berserker
by ingesting too much monsters' meat.
So I thought,
we should be able to absorb magic.
You could have told us sooner.
No, this is also the first time
I've tried it.
Warriors.
Thank you very much.
We're very grateful.
You're welcome.
Who are you?
Where are you going?
We're soldiers from the Deock Empire.
We have an order from the King
to transfer the pagans to Radorpo.
QUES
EXPLORE 5% OF THE MAP
DELIVER THE CARGO TO RADORPO
They have violated the ban
on the Altros religion.
So they must be executed
on the hills of Radorpo,
where most of
the Altros followers are hidden.
Radorpo, it's happening!
The cargo is unknown.
Is it human beings? Death row prisoners?
Pagan, children, what's this?
The cargo is those people?
But, if we deliver them there,
these people and that child
will all be killed.
Attacks against humans detected,
rank down.
Will it be fine if our actions
result in the death of humans?
Is this event part of the quest,
or is it a trap that will eliminate us?
Which one
is it?
EPISODE 5, THE VALUE OF LIFE
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
