[00:01] HOLY SISTER
    Skills are the various special abilities
    granted by the ancestral fruit
[00:06] HOLY SISTER
    in ancient times that bring
    happiness to humankind.
[00:11] HOLY SISTER
    We must walk alongside skills
    towards a future full of light.
[00:19] LENA
    Light, what kind of skill do you want?
[00:23] LIGHT
    Dual Wield or Swift would be awesome.
[00:26] LIGHT
    Perfect Aim is nice, too.
[00:28] LIGHT
    In any case, I want a combat-type skill.
[00:31] LIGHT
    After all, I plan to become an adventurer.
[00:35] LENA
    That's been your dream since you were a kid.
SIGN    Lena
    Light's Childhood Friend
    No Skill
SIGN    Light
    Aspiring Adventurer
    No Skill
[00:38] LIGHT
    Yeah. It's exciting to think that
    dream will finally come true today.
[00:44] LIGHT/ID
    The day I receive a skill and begin
    my second life has finally arrived.
[00:49] LIGHT
    Lena, what kind of skill do you want?
[00:53] LENA
    I hope I get one that lets me
    go into the same job as you.
[00:58] LIGHT
    Then let's become adventurers together.
[01:01] LENA
    Yeah.
[01:03] LENA
    But nobody knows what skill they'll
    get until they eat a fruit, right?
[01:09] LENA
    I'm nervous.
[01:11] LIGHT
    Don't worry. I know we can do it.
[01:18] LIGHT
    We'll become the greatest adventurers ever
[01:21] LIGHT
    and make our mark on history!

    The Only Ingredient
[02:55] LIGHT
    And now, my brilliant
    adventuring life begins!
[03:00] LIGHT
    At least, it was supposed to...
[03:02] LIGHT
    Look at this size.
[03:06] LIGHT
    It's got a good balance of
    sweetness and sourness, too.
[03:08] LIGHT
    These are the best berries
    I've ever harvested.
[03:11] LIGHT
    All right!
[03:12] LIGHT
    This is my calling!
[03:15] LIGHT
    Yeah, right!
[03:22] LIGHT/ID
    Far from my dream of becoming an adventurer,
[03:26] LIGHT/ID
    I currently work as a fruit farmer,
[03:28] LIGHT/ID
    all because I received this skill.
[03:32] LIGHT/ID
    It all started three months ago,
[03:35] LIGHT/ID
    on that day I ate a skill fruit...
[03:39] HOLY SISTER
    The skill fruits you're about to receive are
SIGN    Holy Sister
     Skill <??>>
[03:42] HOLY SISTER
    special fruits that grant
    skills to those who eat them.
[03:46] HOLY SISTER
    Once you acquire a skill,
[03:48] HOLY SISTER
    you will be able to pursue
    professions suited to your skills.
[03:52] HOLY SISTER
    You will choose and eat one of these fruits.
[03:55] HOLY SISTER
    However, there is one
    ironclad rule you must obey.
[04:00] HOLY SISTER
    You may only eat one skill fruit
    throughout your whole life.
[04:05] HOLY SISTER
    Eating a second will poison you
    and result in certain death.
[04:09] LENA
    I-It's fatal?
[04:11] HOLY SISTER
    Several fools have eaten a second because
[04:15] HOLY SISTER
    they disliked the skill they
    received and wanted to try again.
[04:19] HOLY SISTER
    Naturally, they all died.
[04:22] LENA
    Light, did you know that?
[04:24] LIGHT
    Yeah.
[04:25] LIGHT
    Everyone who wants to become
    an adventurer knows that.
[04:29] LIGHT
    You can't even stand on the starting
    line without a combat-type skill.
SIGN    <<Fist King>>
[04:35] LIGHT/ID
    Every currently famous adventurer
    possesses an incredibly powerful skill.
SIGN    <<Iron Wall>>
SIGN    <<Magic Eye>>
[04:41] LIGHT/ID
    I want to be like them, too.
[04:43] HOLY SISTER
    That said, there is no problem as
    long as you don't eat a second fruit.
[04:48] HOLY SISTER
    Acquiring a skill is a wonderful thing.
[04:51] HOLY SISTER
    It's time to begin your new lives.
[04:58] LIGHT
    Just believe and eat your
    fruit, and you'll be okay.
[05:00] LENA
    O-Okay...
[05:12] LENA
    My body feels hot...
[05:16] HOLY SISTER
    This is...
[05:19] HOLY SISTER
    The Sword Saint Skill!
SIGN    Sword Saint
[05:27] HOLY SISTER
    I never thought I'd see one born here.
[05:30] LENA
    Sword Saint?
[05:32] HOLY SISTER
    You are one of the chosen.
[05:34] HOLY SISTER
    I've been waiting for an adventurer like you.
[05:37] FOLLOWER 1
    The Sword Saint skill?
[05:39] FOLLOWER 2
    Notify the guilds immediately!
[05:41] LIGHT
    That's amazing, Lena.
[05:43] LENA
    I hope you get a combat-type skill, too.
[05:46] LIGHT
    Yeah. I'm next.
[05:54] LIGHT/ID
    Awaken, my skill!
[06:00] LIGHT/ID
    I'll leave my mark on history!
[06:10] HOLY SISTER
    Your skill is...
[06:13] HOLY SISTER
    Fruitmaster.
SIGN    <<Fruitmaster>>
[06:16] LIGHT
    What?
[06:17] HOLY SISTER
    It's a fruit-related skill.
[06:20] HOLY SISTER
    You can harvest more at once
    and shorten cultivation times.
[06:25] HOLY SISTER
    You'd be hard-pressed to find
    a skill less suited to combat.
[06:29] LIGHT
    But...
[06:32] LIGHT
    I want to become an adventurer!
[06:34] LIGHT
    Can't I try again?
[06:35] HOLY SISTER
    No. Do you want to die?
[06:39] LIGHT/ID
    I have no future...
[06:43] LENA
    Don't worry, Light.
[06:45] LENA
    I'll grow fruit, too.
[06:48] LENA
    We'll build a massive plantation together.
[06:51] HOLY SISTER
    Don't be absurd!
[06:54] LENA
    Holy Sister?
[06:57] HOLY SISTER
    Sword Saints like you are
    only seen once a decade.
[07:01] HOLY SISTER
    You must become an adventurer
    for this nation's sake.
[07:05] HOLY SISTER
    You will move to the holy city right away.
[07:09] HOLY SISTER
    Understood?
[07:10] LENA
    Y-Yes...
[07:12] LENA
    Light!
[07:14] LENA
    I'll wait for you!
[07:17] LIGHT
    Train hard on my behalf, too.
[07:22] LIGHT/ID
    It's been three months since then.
[07:26] LIGHT/ID
    I've been harvesting
    fruit for food ever since
[07:29] LIGHT/ID
    and selling it for money.
[07:31] LIGHT
    Grow nice and big.
[07:37] LIGHT/ID
    I'm suited to this job!
[07:40] LIGHT/ID
    No, wait! That's not right!
[07:41] LIGHT
    I'm done harvesting. Time to sell.
[07:46] LIGHT
    Thanks again.
[07:49] LIGHT
    I'd make more money if I could use
    my skill on other vegetables, too.
[07:53] LIGHT
    It's a pretty crap skill since
    it only works on fruits.
[08:03] LIGHT
    She's been promoted to rank S
    in record time, huh?
[08:09] BOY
    When I grow up, I'm gonna be an adventurer.
[08:13] GIRL
    Me, too. I'm gonna be like Lena.
[08:16] LIGHT/ID
    We keep growing further apart.
[08:20] LIGHT/ID
    Someday I want to become Lena's
    equal as an adventurer.
[08:24] LIGHT/ID
    Even without a combat-type
    skill, I'll find a way.
[08:29] LIGHT
    If I can cut this stump in half,
[08:32] LIGHT
    then I can become an adventurer.
[08:39] LIGHT
    Ow!
[08:42] LIGHT
    It's impossible.
[08:44] LIGHT
    I bet Lena's forgotten
    my face and name by now.
[08:49] LENA
    Who are you?
[08:51] AYLA
    M-Mister Light.
[08:55] LIGHT
    Ayla.
[08:56] AYLA
    Good afternoon.
[08:58] AYLA
    I brought water.
SIGN    Ayla
     Girl Who Lives With Light
     No Skill
[09:00] LIGHT/ID
    This is Ayla.
[09:02] LIGHT/ID
    For reasons, I recently took her in.
[09:05] LIGHT/ID
    The village chief forced her on me,
    and we've been living together.
[09:10] LIGHT/ID
    It's better for both of us
    if we don't look into it.
[09:14] LIGHT/ID
    So we've been living together,
    splitting the work and chores between us.
[09:20] AYLA
    Um, dinner is ready.
    You're welcome to have some.
[09:33] AYLA
    How was today's harvest?
[09:35] LIGHT
    Pretty good, especially the skill fruits.
[09:39] AYLA
    Skill fruits?
[09:41] LIGHT
    I've started focusing on
    growing them recently.
[09:44] LIGHT
    I thought I'd save up money
    to buy a proper sword.
[09:47] AYLA
    I see.
[09:49] LIGHT
    Oh, right.
[09:51] LIGHT
    I've separated out the skill
    fruits into those boxes.
[09:54] LIGHT
    Whatever you do, don't eat
    them without my permission.
[09:57] AYLA
    What?
[10:02] AYLA
    Um, I used a few of those
    fruits for the stew.
[10:06] AYLA
    Was that all right?
[10:09] LIGHT
    What?!
[10:10] LIGHT
    You put skill fruits in the food?!
[10:13] AYLA
    Y-Yes. They looked tasty.
[10:19] HOLY SISTER
    Eating a second will poison you
    and result in certain death.
[10:23] LIGHT/ID
    After that stern warning...
[10:27] LIGHT
    My body feels hot...
[10:30] LIGHT/ID
    I felt this same feeling three months ago.
[10:33] LIGHT/ID
    Am I going to die?
[10:38] AYLA
    M-Mister Light!
[10:41] LIGHT/ID
    Ayla, I'm sorry.
[10:43] LIGHT/ID
    It's my fault for not teaching
    you about skill fruits.
[10:48] LIGHT
    Ayla, you didn't do anything wrong...
[10:54] LIGHT
    Huh?
[10:55] AYLA
    Um, what's the matter?
[10:57] LIGHT
    Why aren't I dead?
[11:01] LIGHT/ID
    Is this...
[11:03] LIGHT/ID
    a new skill?
SIGN    Sword God
[11:06] HOLY SISTER
    What?! What is this?
[11:09] NOA
    What is it, Holy Sister?
[11:11] HOLY SISTER/ID
    I didn't think this could happen.
[11:20] LIGHT/ID
    Am I alone special somehow?
[11:22] LIGHT/ID
    In that case, why?
[11:26] AYLA
    Ow. Ouch...
[11:29] LIGHT
    What's wrong, Ayla?
[11:31] AYLA
    My body feels hot, and my head
    suddenly started hurting.
[11:35] LIGHT
    Oh, right. You ate the skill fruit, too.
[11:42] LIGHT
    Ayla, are you okay?
[11:44] AYLA
    "Your Fruitmaster skill makes you
    immune to the poison of all fruits."
[11:52] LIGHT
    Immune? How do you know that?
[11:55] AYLA
    Um, some letters saying that
    appeared when I looked at you.
[12:00] AYLA
    You have another skill, too.
[12:04] AYLA
    "Sword God."
[12:05] AYLA
    "Your attack power increases
    dramatically when wielding a sword."
[12:09] AYLA
    "Your magic resistance increases as well."
[12:11] AYLA
    That's what it says.
[12:13] LIGHT/ID
    Did Ayla acquire an appraisal-type skill?
[12:17] LIGHT/ID
    Then I want to confirm the
    identity of this heat.
[12:23] AYLA
    Mister Light!
[12:28] LIGHT/ID
    If that skill is real,
    I should be able to cut it.
[12:39] LIGHT/ID
    This is the Sword God skill.
[12:43] AYLA
    Mister Light.
[12:44] AYLA
    The tree...
[12:47] LIGHT/ID
    Looks like I've become the only person
    in the world to have two skills.
[13:01] SHOPKEEPER
    I've got tasty fresh-baked goods!
[13:04] AYLA
    Pizza! I've never seen one
    before, but it looks delicious.
[13:07] LIGHT
    Ayla, let's go.
[13:10] AYLA
    Huh? What? But...
[13:20] AYLA
    Everyone here is an adventurer?
[13:23] LIGHT
    It's pretty lively.
[13:25] AYLA
    Mister Light, you seem happy.
[13:28] LIGHT
    Yeah. I always dreamed of coming here.
[13:34] AYLA
    Wow, look at all these monster bounties.
[13:37] LIGHT
    Completing a bounty earns you a reward.
[13:41] LIGHT
    Then you can buy equipment and tasty food.
[13:44] AYLA
    Tasty food?
[13:46] LIGHT/ID
    But we didn't just come
    here to make money today.
[13:50] LIGHT/ID
    This unknown skill I acquired yesterday...
[13:53] LIGHT/ID
    How much will Sword God
    help me in actual battle?
[13:57] LIGHT/ID
    I need to find out so I know if I
    can join the adventurers' ranks.
[14:02] LIGHT/ID
    And if possible,
[14:04] LIGHT/ID
    I'd like to stand beside Lena again.
[14:10] LIGHT
    Ayla, could you sit there and wait for me?
[14:13] LIGHT
    You must be tired from the long walk.
[14:15] AYLA
    V-Very well.
[14:17] LIGHT
    Right now, I want to take
    a job as soon as possible.
[14:20] LIGHT
    I'm off to the reception desk.
[14:25] AYLA/ID
    The guild is full of
    powerful-looking people.
[14:28] AYLA/ID
    And...
[14:31] AYLA/ID
    Everyone has one skill.
[14:34] AYLA/ID
    But even though there are so many people,
[14:37] AYLA/ID
    only Mister Light has two skills.
[14:41] AYLA/ID
    I need to gather information using my
    Appraisal skill so I can be useful to Mr. Light.
[14:47] AYLA/ID
    There are Martial Arts, Enemy Detection,
    Fire Elemental, and Seduction skills.
[14:53] AYLA/ID
    Stampede. Hitting an enemy inflicts
    damage to the user as well.
[14:58] AYLA/ID
    Does that mean it's a bad skill?
[15:01] GENE
    Ow!
[15:02] GENE
    Watch where you're going.
[15:05] LIGHT
    You're the one who bumped into me.
[15:08] GENE
    What? An adventurer should
    be able to dodge that.
[15:12] GENE
    Hey, aren't you the guy who's always
    selling fruits at the market?
[15:16] GENE
    Fruitmaster, right?
[15:19] GENE
    What are you doing at the guild?
     You don't belong here.
[15:22] AYLA
    Mister Light...
[15:23] LIGHT
    Ayla, let's go.
[15:25] AYLA
    O-Okay.
[15:26] GENE
    Hey, don't ignore me!
[15:33] GENE
    What?!
[15:34] ADVENTURER 2
    H-He stopped Gene's attack!
[15:38] LIGHT/ID
    Holding a sword improves
    my reaction speed, too.
[15:43] GENE
    I went easy on you.
[15:45] ADVENTURER 3
    Gene, don't waste your time on this guy.
[15:49] ADVENTURER 2
    Yeah, let's get out of here and
    win our glorious first battle.
[15:53] GENE
    Whatever, fine.
[15:57] LIGHT
    Ayla, it's okay now.
[16:00] LIGHT
    I got a job, so let's leave, too.
[16:04] AYLA
    Okay.
[16:09] LIGHT
    So this area is our destination!
[16:11] LIGHT
    We'll finally see some monsters!
[16:13] LIGHT
    Ayla, this place is dangerous.
    Make sure you stay behind me.
[16:17] AYLA
    Okay.
[16:19] LIGHT
    Monsters...
[16:22] AYLA
    Mister Light, look.
[16:24] LIGHT
    There's one.
[16:25] LIGHT
    It's a slime.
[16:27] AYLA
    That slime has a higher defense than others.
[16:32] LIGHT
    You can see that, too?
[16:40] LIGHT/ID
    Did it notice us?
[16:46] LIGHT/ID
    The first one to strike wins.
[16:48] LIGHT/ID
    Don't let me down, Sword God.
[17:02] LIGHT
    My sword feels weightless.
[17:05] LIGHT
    The boost to my leg strength
    is incredible, too.
[17:08] LIGHT
    But...
[17:10] LIGHT
    I'll need to work on my power management.
[17:12] AYLA
    That was amazing, Mister Light!
[17:14] LIGHT
    If we take back part of the slime,
[17:16] LIGHT
    we can exchange it for money at the guild.
[17:19] AYLA
    I feel kind of bad about cutting
    it up and taking it back.
[17:23] LIGHT
    But we can buy ten pizzas with this.
[17:26] AYLA
    Let's get cutting.
[17:29] AYLA
    Sorry.
[17:31] LIGHT
    What do you want to eat?
    You can have anything.
[17:33] AYLA
    A-Anything? Uh, um...
[17:37] GENE
    You jerk!
[17:39] LIGHT
    What was that?
[17:41] GENE
    Damn it. Why?
[17:43] GENE
    Our first battle was
    supposed to go perfectly.
[17:46] GENE
    So what's an ogre doing here?!
[17:51] GENE
    We ran into some weird guy at the guild, too.
[17:54] GENE
    This sucks.
[17:56] ADVENTURER 2
    Gene, this is no time for talk.
[18:05] ADVENTURER 2
    We don't stand a chance against it.
[18:07] ADVENTURER 3
    It's over.
[18:09] LIGHT
    Hey!
[18:11] LIGHT
    Hey!
[18:13] LIGHT
    Are you okay?
[18:16] ADVENTURER 2
    It's him.
[18:23] LIGHT
    A monster?
[18:25] AYLA
    That's an ogre.
[18:27] AYLA
    Those aren't normally found around here.
[18:30] GENE
    Idiot! I'll lead it right to you!
[18:32] LIGHT
    What?
[18:44] AYLA
    The ogre has set its sights on you.
[18:47] LIGHT
    Then I'll have to fight it.
[18:52] LIGHT/ID
    In fact, defeating this monster would be
    the ideal start to my adventuring career!
[19:04] AYLA
    Be careful!
[19:06] AYLA
    Sword God doesn't increase
    your physical defense.
[19:10] AYLA
    If you don't dodge its attacks...
[19:12] LIGHT
    I could die instantly.
[19:18] LIGHT/ID
    I'm going to become the
    greatest adventurer ever
[19:21] LIGHT/ID
    and leave my mark on history, right?
[19:23] LIGHT/ID
    In that case...
[19:28] LIGHT/ID
    I should be able to easily clear this trial.
[19:34] LIGHT/ID
    I know how strong my legs are now.
[19:36] LIGHT/ID
    Maximum power.
[19:38] LIGHT/ID
    I've got this in the bag!
[19:42] LIGHT/ID
    I'm gonna do it.
[19:44] LIGHT/ID
    I'll catch up to her.
[19:51] LIGHT
    Sword God Style...
[19:55] LIGHT
    Demon Slash!
SIGN    Demon Slash
[20:06] LIGHT
    I... I did it!
[20:10] AYLA
    Mister Light, are you all right?
[20:13] LIGHT
    Yeah.
[20:14] LIGHT
    Fruitmaster and Sword God
    are both real skills.
[20:19] AYLA
    That's amazing, Mr. Light.
[20:21] GENE
    Wh-Who is that guy?
[20:26] RECEPTIONIST
    What? You defeated not only
    a slime, but an ogre, too?
[20:31] LIGHT
    Yeah. As proof, here's the ogre's horn.
[20:34] LIGHT
    Can I exchange this for money?
[20:36] ADVENTURER 2
    We were watching. We can confirm it's true.
[20:39] ADVENTURER 3
    This guy saved our lives. Right, Gene?
[20:45] RECEPTIONIST
    O-One moment, please.
[20:49] ADVENTURER 2
    Anyway, I can't believe a rookie
    like you defeated an ogre.
[20:52] ADVENTURER 3
    You're awesome.
[20:55] LIGHT/ID
    Now I'm an adventurer, too.
[21:02] LIGHT
    Did something happen?
[21:04] GENE
    Yeah.
[21:05] GENE
    The rank S party is back.
[21:12] GENE
    So that's the star of the
    rank S party Sacred, Lena.
[21:20] LIGHT
    Excuse me. Let me through.
[21:22] LIGHT
    Lena!
[21:26] LIGHT
    Lena.
[21:28] LIGHT
    It's good to see you again.
[21:34] LENA
    You've mistaken me for someone else.
[21:36] LIGHT
    What?
[23:11] NOA
    What did you see?
[23:13] HOLY SISTER
    The future.
[23:14] NOA
    The future?
[23:16] HOLY SISTER
    I've had a revelation.
[23:18] NOA
    What?
[23:19] HOLY SISTER
    A tremendous threat that will
    shake the world has been born.
[23:25] LIGHT
