Ep. 5: Hiro Faces Continued Persecution and a Rescue by Mizarisa
City Guard Captain Tesla declares Martin’s death an accident, freeing Hiro despite Alicia’s desire for revenge and villagers’ belief in his guilt. Needing funds for supplies, Hiro requests a loan from Ginji. After Ginji refuses, Hiro loses his temper, prompting Martin’s ghost to warn him about past rage. Ginji’s childhood friends appear to him, leading Reona to convince Ginji the conflict was a duel, resulting in Ginji giving up his gold and Hiro’s title changing. Seeking smoke bombs to defend against Alicia, Hiro visits Melissa’s shop but faces inflated prices. He tries to retrieve his starting sword but encounters Alicia. Attempting to use a smoke bomb, Hiro forgets to light the fuse due to realism rules. Alicia attacks, but Mizarisa intervenes, refusing to let Alicia kill her favorite victim.
