Before the Tutorial Starts: A Few Things I Can Do to Keep the Bosses Alive, Vol. 4

by Kotatsu Takahashi, Kakao Lanthanum (Artist), Phil Charbonneau (Translator)

While Kyouichirou's party grows ever stronger, he's still a long way from saving his sister's life. For starters, he doesn’t even have a healer! It's time to recruit a new member, and Kyouichirou sets his sights on the Black Knight, a legendary mercenary who brings certain victory to his clients but charges exorbitant fees and insists on working alone. To get this big fish to the negotiating table, Kyouichirou will need to show what he and his team are made of in front of the world (and earn some more money)—and what better way to do both than crushing the competition in a massive battle royale tournament?!
