In a world packed with adventurers fighting with demons—Alvin, a warrior whose wits are sharper than his sword, finds himself needing the help of Carl…
...Alvin (male lead/armored warrior) is trying to make it as an adventurer in a land ravaged by monsters and other such baddies when he ends up getting the bad end of a fight with a bear-like creature only to be saved by the dark elf healer girl Carla (female lead/dark elf) who happens to be passing by except her personality being what it is things turn into an argument which confuses the bear creature even more and then something not in the original manga happens where they get taken back to the bear's house and some of the manga fans are like "Huh?" but see this is based on a manga that was published online before the comic was serialized called "What Story Is This?" that was set in the same world so the anime staff and manga creators asked to use this space to explain what's going on also there's no codes or hidden messages in this just so you know and that's the deal with episode 1
...Alvin resumes his original quest to gather antidote herbs, but on the way he ends up getting attacked in a graveyard by ghosts which they manage to escape unexpectedly, but then he falls into a trap set by goblins and basically the first half of the episode is filled with great suffering but Carla's curse is still in effect so he can't get away from her and there's even more suffering in store nevertheless and anyway these titles are really long and kind of serve double-duty as next episode previews and we're pretty curious about how many people actually listen to the whole thing and that's the deal with episode 2
...during his travels with Carla the healer for two episodes Alvin tries to keep up his job as a monster-hunting adventurer which I guess shows some pretty impressive resolve except when he runs into a mushroom monster he challenges to a fight and it turns out to be tougher than expected and by the way this won't get mentioned in the series proper but its species is called matango and you mig...
...beginners which is very nice and so even Alvin seems to be flying through it but of course as a veteran rookie he isn't without his struggles and he once again reveals his aptitude(?) for falling into holes and even causes their mushroom monster companion to worry and come to think of it the mushroom guy who showed up last episode has a name (it's Altargaia) and there aren't many chances to call him that but we would like you to remember it and by the way if you're having trouble reading these titles to the end we just wanted to remind you that you can pause the video or maybe check the show's homepage and that's the deal with episode 4.
...Carla accidentally forces him to reveal a surprising true form and then an old lady they happen to meet on the road also reveals an unexpected side and this confirms once again that there are monsters in this world that disguise themselves as humans but by the way the name of the inn is "Stay! Burin" and some of you might not know where that name comes from but it's from a pretty famous show so if you know it you're definitely wallowing in nostalgia right now and that's the deal with episode 5."
...on their travels like being attacked by a thief and running into a golem until a certain series of events leads Alvin to take massive damage and it's so extreme that he even has to take off his armor to recuperate and that becomes an opportunity for them to get in a fight and reevaluate their relationship a little and even though their fights are an important part of the show the times bei...
