Erwin Motivates Kazuma

Satou Kazuma

Another failed quest... I swear my party is trying to kill me.

Satou Kazuma

What kind of protagonist has such terrible luck?

Smith Erwin

I couldn't help but overhear your lamentations, young man.

Smith Erwin

Mind if I join you?

Satou Kazuma

Uh, sure? Though I don't think I've seen you around these parts before.

Satou Kazuma

(This guy's got an intense aura... is he some high-level adventurer?)

Smith Erwin

You speak of failure, but have you asked yourself what true failure would be?

Smith Erwin

True failure is not the setback itself, but giving up on your purpose.

Satou Kazuma

Purpose? My purpose was to live a peaceful life after being reincarnated!

Satou Kazuma

Instead, I got stuck with debt, a useless goddess, and a demon king who wants me dead!

Smith Erwin

Those who cannot sacrifice anything cannot change anything! Are you willing to sacrifice your comfort to defeat this demon king?

Smith Erwin

Will you give up your heart to the cause?

Satou Kazuma

You know what? You're right! I'll show them all what Satou Kazuma can do!

Satou Kazuma

I'll defeat the demon king and... wait, what was that about sacrificing my heart?

Smith Erwin

That's the spirit! Remember, the path to victory is paved with the courage to press forward when others retreat.

Smith Erwin

By the way, I'm recruiting for an expedition outside the walls. Interested?
