Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:13] ---     Why am I on the floor? [00:48] ---     "Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided     to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside" [02:05] ---     "Let's Start Our Quiet Life Together" [02:07] ---     Morning. [02:08] ---     Morning. Sleep well? [02:11] ---     Not really.     Maybe I'm not used to that bed. [02:15] ---     I got it for next to nothing,     so I'm not surprised. [02:19] ---     But that's not really why     I had trouble sleeping. [02:26] ---     This looks so good! [02:31] ---     It is good! [02:33] ---     Eat up. [02:35] ---     We have a busy day ahead. [02:37] ---     Okay! [02:40] ---     First, I'll go buy a bed, [02:42] ---     then go home and get some paintings     that'll look good in the shop. [02:46] ---     Paintings? [02:48] ---     The impact of artwork     is nothing to sneeze at. [02:51] ---     Placing the right piece of art     is sure to boost sales. [02:55] ---     Really? I never heard of that. [02:58] ---     We also have to go ask the Zoltan Council     to approve your new pain killer. [03:03] ---     It'll probably take some negotiating. [03:06] ---     Leave the negotiating to me. [03:08] ---     About my salary... [03:11] ---     How about 1.5, which comes out     to 30 perills a month? [03:16] ---     That's a reasonable salary     for live-in help. [03:20] ---     For Rit, though, it seems low. [03:23] ---     But what if she says     she doesn't need a salary? [03:26] ---     I'd probably insist on a higher amount     more suited to what she offers. [03:31] ---     Okay, let's go with that. [03:33] ---     Great! [03:37] ---     Wait a second. [03:39] ---     Did she say she wanted to live here     so I wouldn't worry about her salary? [03:44] ---     Don't tell me she had it all planned out? [03:48] ---     Thanks, Rit. [03:49] ---     Huh? [03:51] ---     Oh, sure, my pleasure? [03:58] ---     Zoltan is far removed from the     threat of the Demon Lord's army [04:02] ---     and doesn't send troops to the front. [04:05] ---     It's a land with no need for the Hero. [04:09] ---     A land with no need for the Hero? [04:12] ---     Sometimes I feel like something's missing. [04:15] ---     You do? [04:16] ---     But I didn't join Ruti     and the rest of you. [04:21] ---     I could've found a life adventuring     with you and your party satisfying, but... [04:29] ---     Being here is the right answer for me. [04:32] ---     We have left the blood-soaked     path of the Hero. [04:37] ---     We now walk the land of Zoltan     simply as Red and Rit. [04:46] ---     Stormy, you there? [04:47] ---     If it isn't, Lady Rit! Thank you     for choosing to shop at my-- [04:53] ---     What's Red doing here? [04:55] ---     Well, it's a long story. [04:57] ---     I decided to move in with Red. [05:00] ---     So I'm here to buy a bed. [05:06] ---     Congratulations! [05:08] ---     Red, you lucky dog, you! [05:11] ---     Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. [05:13] ---     Wait. I think you've got the wrong idea. [05:17] ---     Hey, Storm. You weren't nearly     this nice to me when I shopped here. [05:21] ---     Customers who haggle 30 minutes     over a cheapo bed [05:25] ---     don't get treated like those who     pay full price for a quality product! [05:28] ---     Good point. [05:31] ---     This walnut wood double bed is perfect! [05:34] ---     Make it a single! [05:36] ---     "Tsk!" [05:36] ---     Wimp. [05:38] ---     "Wanna piece of me?" [05:38] ---     Say that again! [05:42] ---     Wimp. [05:50] ---     The bed won't fit in my item box,     so please deliver it to the shop. [05:55] ---     Okay, you got it. [05:57] ---     Thanks for your business! [06:02] ---     There's lots of good stuff     at Stormy's shop. [06:05] ---     Stormthunder has the Craftsman Blessing,     and he's leveled it way up. [06:09] ---     Wow, Red. You can tell     how high a Blessing's level is! [06:12] ---     I found out after helping him hunt     monsters in lieu of paying for a purchase. [06:17] ---     I see. [06:19] ---     The Almighty Demis grants     a Divine Blessing [06:23] ---     to all living things at birth. [06:25] ---     Lineage and education have no     impact on the Blessing granted. [06:30] ---     "Strategist" [06:30] ---     Orphans from the slums have been granted     the Strategist and General Blessings. [06:35] ---     "General"     "Thief" [06:35] ---     And those of royal birth have been     granted the Thief Blessing. [06:40] ---     Their success depends on whether     they can level up their Blessing. [06:46] ---     So then the question is,     how does one level up? [06:51] ---     There's but one way. [06:53] ---     You must battle and slay someone     who has a Blessing. [06:58] ---     It's the same with all Blessings,     whether they're battle-related or not. [07:02] ---     People kill each other to     level up their Blessings. [07:08] ---     This world is ripe with violence. [07:15] ---     Tanta! [07:19] ---     You okay? [07:22] ---     You son of a...! [07:27] ---     Is that a skill? [07:28] ---     Hey, stop it! [07:29] ---     That's enough! [07:32] ---     Butt out! [07:38] ---     At your level, you should be     fighting monsters with the adults. [07:43] ---     You talk tough, but all you got     is that crappy bronze sword! [07:51] ---     Tanta, you okay? [07:53] ---     Y-Yeah. [07:59] ---     You okay, too? [08:00] ---     Y-Yeah, but... [08:02] ---     His name's Red. [08:04] ---     He's my friend. He's also     an apothecary and adventurer. [08:07] ---     Wow, really? [08:08] ---     That's why he's so strong. [08:10] ---     This is my friend, Al. [08:11] ---     Al, it looks like your knee's hurt. [08:13] ---     Huh? [08:15] ---     We gotta patch you up. [08:18] ---     Miss Rit. [08:19] ---     Wait, what are you doing with Red? [08:23] ---     Because we're good friends. [08:25] ---     I moved in with him yesterday. [08:27] ---     What?! I didn't know     you had it in you, Red! [08:30] ---     Good grief. [08:35] ---     That should do it. [08:37] ---     It'll feel better in a few days. [08:39] ---     Thank you. [08:41] ---     Why were you fighting? [08:43] ---     It was the other guy's fault. [08:44] ---     We were playing, but he told us     to scram 'cause we were in his way. [08:48] ---     He's already developing his Blessing. [08:51] ---     That was a pretty good attack for a kid. [08:54] ---     Ademi wasn't always so violent. [08:59] ---     But he's been a real hothead lately. [09:01] ---     He must've discovered his Blessing. [09:03] ---     That's what happens? [09:06] ---     Divine Blessings also affect     a person's personality. [09:11] ---     What do you mean? [09:13] ---     For example, with the Craftsman Blessing,     you'll start to like making things. [09:17] ---     And with the Mage Blessing,     your thirst for knowledge will grow. [09:21] ---     So what's Ademi's Blessing? [09:23] ---     He probably has the Bar Brawler Blessing. [09:26] ---     Bar Brawler? [09:28] ---     It's a Blessing focused on fighting     with whatever's at hand. [09:32] ---     They'll use anything they have as     a weapon, like rocks or booze jugs. [09:36] ---     They have skills for knocking people     over or through the air and so on. [09:40] ---     The problem is, Ademi has a really     high affinity for his Blessing. [09:44] ---     An affinity? [09:45] ---     Skills grow stronger when your nature     gives you an affinity for your Blessing. [09:51] ---     So Ademi is a natural-born brawler. [09:53] ---     A natural-born brawler? [09:55] ---     What a crappy Blessing. [09:57] ---     Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. [10:00] ---     It would be great if all Blessings     were socially acceptable. [10:04] ---     But some aren't, and they     can steer people toward evil. [10:10] ---     Ademi's Blessing makes him resort to     violence when encountering obstacles. [10:17] ---     I see. [10:19] ---     You needn't worry about it. [10:20] ---     His Blessing had a powerful-- [10:22] ---     I don't want a Blessing. [10:25] ---     Don't say that! [10:26] ---     The Church elders     won't like it if they hear you! [10:30] ---     Have you discovered     what your Blessing is yet? [10:33] ---     Yes. I have the Weapon Master Blessing. [10:36] ---     Wow, I'm impressed! [10:38] ---     That's a fighter-type Blessing which     enables you to master a weapon. [10:42] ---     But if it means I'm gonna be like Ademi... [10:50] ---     Al, I know exactly how you feel. [10:52] ---     Coming to terms with     your Blessing can be scary. [10:55] ---     After all, it can determine     the life you lead. [10:59] ---     Rit has the Spirit Scout Blessing. [11:03] ---     That means she is a scout     for forest dwellers. [11:06] ---     "Spirit Scout"     Maybe Rit couldn't live     quietly in the castle [11:09] ---     "Spirit Scout"     because her Blessing craves freedom. [11:14] ---     But no matter what Blessing you have,     you'll always be who you are. [11:19] ---     Really? [11:20] ---     Blessings are but a part of you. [11:22] ---     For example, a normally gentle mother may     sometimes raise holy hell when angry. [11:28] ---     I see. [11:29] ---     You're a sum of the parts     that make you who you are, [11:32] ---     including your Blessing. [11:33] ---     You're not a slave to your Blessing.     It's a part of you that you can control. [11:38] ---     Do that, and your Blessing     will prove quite useful. [11:42] ---     Really? [11:43] ---     Yeah. The Weapon Master Blessing     gives you lots of skills for overcoming [11:48] ---     fear and chaos as long you     have your mastered weapon. [11:51] ---     Um, I'm kinda afraid of the dark.     Will it help me get over that? [11:56] ---     Sure! You won't be afraid,     no matter how dark it is. [11:59] ---     That's a relief! Thanks, Mr. Red! [12:02] ---     Al, let's get going. [12:04] ---     All right. [12:06] ---     Come by our shop any time you're     feeling anxious about something. [12:10] ---     That's if you don't mind advice     from a B-rank adventurer. [12:14] ---     Thanks! [12:17] ---     Can I come over to play...     even if I don't need advice? [12:22] ---     Sure. I'll even make you something to eat. [12:25] ---     Hurray! [12:28] ---     Bye-bye! [12:30] ---     Well, we should get going, too. [12:33] ---     We gotta go get Red and Rit's Apothecary's     future hit product approved! [12:37] ---     You sure about this? [12:40] ---     Once we change the shop's name, [12:42] ---     I won't let you off so easy     if you want to quit. [12:44] ---     Are you saying you want me     to stay here forever? [12:59] ---     I said no! No, no! [13:02] ---     B-But... [13:04] ---     My concoction is less addictive than-- [13:07] ---     I'm a busy man. Now get that     out of my face and scram! [13:13] ---     We've no choice but to go over his head! [13:16] ---     It's worth a shot. [13:17] ---     Aye-aye, Captain! [13:18] ---     Miss Rit, I never expected you to team up     with someone. You always worked solo. [13:23] ---     This should be interesting. [13:25] ---     So, what can I do for you? [13:26] ---     Well... [13:29] ---     I see. [13:31] ---     I must apologize for that, but your     timing couldn't have been worse. [13:35] ---     Has something happened? [13:37] ---     We discovered that a remedy     we approved about a month ago [13:41] ---     is being misused as an illegal narcotic. [13:45] ---     It's spreading on the black market     to everyone from townsfolk to nobles. [13:49] ---     It was only approved a month ago? [13:53] ---     The new remedy was     mass-produced outside of town, [13:58] ---     and once it was approved,     it flooded the market. [14:02] ---     Its maker was clearly targeting     illicit use from the start. [14:06] ---     This fiasco has done great harm     to our reputation. [14:11] ---     Dan, who is in charge of the new remedy, [14:14] ---     has been dealing with     angry townsfolk non-stop. [14:17] ---     I see. [14:19] ---     But since this request is from you,     Miss Rit, I'll personally approve it. [14:25] ---     You'd really do that? [14:27] ---     Thank you! [14:32] ---     Sorry for making you     do all the heavy lifting. [14:35] ---     No need to apologize. [14:37] ---     Yeah, but I did say, [14:38] ---     "Leave the negotiating to me,"     like an idiot. [14:44] ---     I'm just happy that I can help you. [14:47] ---     And I wanna keep doing so. [14:50] ---     I'd do anything for you! [14:54] ---     Thank you, Rit. I, um... [15:00] ---     We'll make a great team. [15:02] ---     I know! [15:08] ---     My new concoction was approved. [15:10] ---     But it will take a while before     its efficacy is widely known. [15:15] ---     Yeah, the shop needs a hit remedy that     is fast-acting in the sales department. [15:22] ---     A hit remedy? [15:24] ---     Any revolutionary ideas for something     customers will want to buy at all costs? [15:29] ---     Let's eat while we think it over. [15:31] ---     Great idea! [15:34] ---     You really are a good cook, Red! [15:36] ---     How about serving food     along with your concoctions? [15:39] ---     Don't be silly.     My Cooking skill is really low. [15:44] ---     I can't compete with a professional chef. [15:47] ---     Plus, I've never heard of     an apothecary that serves... [15:52] ---     An apothecary that serves food? [15:54] ---     What is it? [15:55] ---     Let's give it a try. [16:00] ---     What's that? [16:01] ---     A nutritional supplement. [16:04] ---     It's good for colds and exhaustion,     and for preventing illness. [16:09] ---     But it's difficult to take     because it's so bitter. [16:13] ---     Apple jam? [16:15] ---     I'm using my Cooking skill     to make the bitterness [16:18] ---     accentuate the jam's sweetness. [16:27] ---     And my Prep skill lets me bake     without destroying nutritional value. [16:34] ---     I get it. It's medicine in cookie form. [16:38] ---     Now for the final test. [16:40] ---     Yummy! [16:42] ---     This just might work! [16:43] ---     Definitely! [16:48] ---     Get your free samples from Red     and Rit's Apothecary right here! [16:53] ---     It can help prevent colds! [16:55] ---     Medicine without the bitterness! [16:57] ---     Would you like to try one? [16:59] ---     They're also good     for post-battle exhaustion. [17:01] ---     Get your free samples here! [17:06] ---     Would you like to try one? [17:09] ---     Cookies? [17:11] ---     No thanks. [17:14] ---     Welcome. [17:16] ---     Our daughter caught a cold     and now has a fever. [17:19] ---     I heard you sell medicinal cookies. [17:22] ---     We sure do. Would you like to try one? [17:26] ---     They contain that     bitter medicine, don't they? [17:31] ---     It's delicious! My daughter     won't mind eating this! [17:34] ---     I'd like one, too! [17:36] ---     My pleasure! [17:49] ---     We sold 'em all. [17:51] ---     Yeah. [17:55] ---     Yay! [17:58] ---     It's all thanks to you, Rit! [18:00] ---     Y-You really think so? [18:02] ---     You just made my day. [18:04] ---     Without you, [18:06] ---     I'd probably still be twiddling my thumbs     without a customer in sight. [18:11] ---     Rit! Thank you for being there for me! [18:15] ---     S-Sure. [18:16] ---     I'm so happy I can be here with you, Red. [18:19] ---     I'll never forget each and     every word you just said! [18:31] ---     I'm sick of this! [18:37] ---     Do you even realize how much time     we've wasted in this desert?! [18:40] ---     The desert dwellers are useless, [18:42] ---     and we haven't a single lead     for the weapon we're after. [18:46] ---     And now you want to go back     to resupply again?! [18:48] ---     It can't be helped, now can it? [18:51] ---     The previous Demon Lord's weapon     isn't going to be easy to find. [18:56] ---     I did my best trying to negotiate     with the desert dwellers, [19:00] ---     but they are a lowly people who     won't even obey the king of this land. [19:05] ---     The state of supplies and negotiations     was never this bad when Gideon was here. [19:10] ---     Are you saying I'm less useful than him? [19:12] ---     I'm a Sage, so I have no need     for his common skills. [19:15] ---     Whatever! I'm gonna go find Gideon! [19:19] ---     You can't do that. [19:21] ---     Please, wait! [19:23] ---     I only joined this party     because it seemed like [19:26] ---     a shortcut to defeating the Demon Lord. [19:29] ---     But there's nothing for me here     if that's no longer true! [19:39] ---     Banishing Gideon from the party     was a fatal mistake, Ares. [19:45] ---     He left of his own free will. [19:51] ---     Danan, you're going     to look for my brother? [19:54] ---     M-Milady! [19:57] ---     We need Gideon in our party.     Surely even you... [20:02] ---     Even what? [20:04] ---     What I mean is... [20:09] ---     I'll allow it. Now go. [20:13] ---     Danan. [20:15] ---     Find my brother. [20:19] ---     We will continue our journey. [20:24] ---     Ruti... [20:32] ---     So, what now? [20:36] ---     I've no choice but to go. [20:38] ---     You don't think Ares would've killed     Gideon because he was in his way, do you? [20:46] ---     Yarandrala suspected he might have. [21:00] ---     She was in tears. [21:04] ---     She likely recognized     Sir Gideon's abilities. [21:08] ---     He was a skilled fighter. [21:11] ---     I was impressed how he could fight     that well with only common skills. [21:17] ---     He was a tactician worthy of respect. [21:20] ---     Yet you never failed to criticize     his combat blunders. [21:24] ---     Th-That's just the kind of man I am. [21:27] ---     Mistakes are bound to repeat     unless they're called out. [21:31] ---     But I swear on my Blessing, [21:34] ---     I never once thought Gideon     was a liability to our party. [21:38] ---     Then I suppose you'll tell     him so when you see him. [21:45] ---     We both know Sir Gideon     is a worthy fighter. [21:47] ---     That means a lot coming from you,     the greatest martial artist of our times, [21:51] ---     and me, acting master of the Temple     Knight's style of spear fighting. [21:55] ---     No matter how skilled a mage Ares is,     he'd be hard-pressed to slay a knight [22:01] ---     revered by two skilled     combatants such as us. [22:04] ---     Good point. Gideon yet lives. [22:09] ---     I'm off to find him!
