"Ryoma Takebayashi"
**[00:10] ---**
Wow, time flies.
**[00:13] ---**
--Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil,
I hope you are well.
**[00:14] ---**
--Whoa, what a line!
--Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil,
I hope you are well.
**[00:16] ---**
--Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil,
I hope you are well.
**[00:18] ---**
--Welcome.
--Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil,
I hope you are well.
**[00:19] ---**
--Well hello there, Manager.
--Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil,
I hope you are well.
**[00:19] ---**
--Well hello there, Manager.
--It has been a short while since
I've left the care of your family
**[00:21] ---**
--I'm sorry we're keeping you waiting.
--It has been a short while since
I've left the care of your family
**[00:23] ---**
--It's fine.
--to live by myself
in the town of Gimul.
**[00:24] ---**
--Good morning, Manager.
--to live by myself
in the town of Gimul.
**[00:25] ---**
"Li Ling, Bamboo Forest Clerk & Bodyguard"
**[00:28] ---**
"Fei, Bamboo Forest Clerk & Bodyguard"
**[00:28] ---**
--Morning, Manager.
--Life out here is going well.
**[00:31] ---**
Good morning. I'm sorry I'm late.
**[00:34] ---**
That's rare!
**[00:36] ---**
I was studying slimes
and lost track of time...
**[00:46] ---**
"Jane, Bamboo Forest Clerk"
**[00:46] ---**
Yes, we will take care of your laundry.
**[00:50] ---**
"Fina, Bamboo Forest Clerk"
**[00:50] ---**
Next customer.
**[00:53] ---**
Wow, it's so clean!
**[00:56] ---**
That's right!
**[00:57] ---**
"Maria, Bamboo Forest Clerk"
**[00:57] ---**
There's no dirt that
Bamboo Forest can't clean!
**[01:00] ---**
Manager, good morning.
**[01:03] ---**
Good morning. Is everything all right?
**[01:05] ---**
Yes.
**[01:06] ---**
You can count on us!
**[01:08] ---**
Thank you!
**[01:12] ---**
Good morning!
**[01:14] ---**
Oh, good morning, Manager!
**[01:17] ---**
"Selma, Bamboo Forest Head Cook"
**[01:18] ---**
Looking forward to another
productive day with you!
**[01:26] ---**
--Everyone is working very hard.
**[01:27] ---**
--Good morning, Miss Carla, Mr. Callum.
--Everyone is working very hard.
**[01:29] ---**
--As manager, I must provide
a proper work environment
**[01:30] ---**
"Carla, Bamboo Forest Assistant Manager"
**[01:30] ---**
--Good morning, Manager!
--As manager, I must provide
a proper work environment
**[01:32] ---**
--that is worthy of all their hard work.
**[01:33] ---**
"Callum, Bamboo Forest Assistant Manager"
**[01:33] ---**
--Pleased to work with you today, as always.
--that is worthy of all their hard work.
**[01:36] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[01:39] ---**
Let's do our best today, as always!
**[01:41] ---**
Yes!
**[03:12] ---**
"Episode 1"
"Ryoma and the New Plan"
**[03:20] ---**
Huh?
**[03:21] ---**
I said, I would like for you to come to work
around this time every day.
**[03:28] ---**
But why? We're always
so busy in the morning.
**[03:33] ---**
Manager, when you come to work
before we open,
**[03:35] ---**
you do all the preparation yourself.
**[03:40] ---**
You're taking work away from
those who work under you.
**[03:43] ---**
It's a good opportunity
to train the new workers.
**[03:46] ---**
Additionally, it's a good
opportunity for you to learn
**[03:49] ---**
how to delegate and rely on others
to handle the work for you.
**[03:53] ---**
I was taking work away from them...
**[03:56] ---**
I understand. I'll do that, then.
**[04:00] ---**
Also, I have a suggestion.
**[04:03] ---**
Sure.
**[04:04] ---**
About the second shop...
**[04:12] ---**
What's going on?
**[04:14] ---**
One moment, I'm almost done tying them up!
**[04:19] ---**
Who are these people?
**[04:21] ---**
They're some thugs who came to complain
that we failed to clean their clothes.
**[04:25] ---**
Huh? But what was all that laughter about?
**[04:29] ---**
Well...
**[04:31] ---**
Hey, this is still so dirty!
**[04:35] ---**
Look at all this dirt...
**[04:38] ---**
--Huh...?
--Clean...
**[04:40] ---**
I told you to make it so dirty
it'll never come off!
**[04:44] ---**
I did!
**[04:48] ---**
What a bunch of idiots.
**[04:49] ---**
What did you say?!
**[04:50] ---**
Who're you calling idiot?!
**[04:55] ---**
--I'll go turn them in to the guards.
**[04:57] ---**
--Damn it...
--I'll go turn them in to the guards.
**[04:57] ---**
--Damn it...
--And that's what happened.
**[04:58] ---**
--I'll remember this!
--And that's what happened.
**[05:00] ---**
Huh...
**[05:01] ---**
What a nuisance.
**[05:03] ---**
I did say, there's no dirt that
Bamboo Forest can't clean.
**[05:08] ---**
Maybe I should give some more thought
to security around here.
**[05:12] ---**
Glass...
**[05:16] ---**
Miss Carla!
**[05:17] ---**
Yes?
**[05:19] ---**
There's something I want to try.
I'm heading back to the mines!
**[05:30] ---**
First, have the sticky slimes
make some hardening solution.
**[05:40] ---**
Use the separation circle
to remove moisture.
**[05:47] ---**
Add more hardening solution.
**[05:51] ---**
Then mix with the mixture circle...
**[06:00] ---**
And remove moisture again.
**[06:05] ---**
Repeat the process to condense
the hardening solution.
**[06:15] ---**
Good. Now shape this into a sheet...
**[06:28] ---**
It won't break even when I hit it with
enhancement magic, and it's clear, too.
**[06:32] ---**
It should work fine as
a replacement for window glass.
**[06:35] ---**
It's hard enough to use
for security purposes.
**[06:38] ---**
I should be able to protect
the workers and customers with this.
**[06:42] ---**
Everyone, I want to make
lots of these. Can you do that?
**[06:54] ---**
That should be enough.
**[07:03] ---**
I guess I should sleep now...
**[07:07] ---**
I've never seen this slime before.
**[07:11] ---**
Appraisal.
**[07:16] ---**
Medicine slime...
I don't remember contracting that.
**[07:21] ---**
Did it evolve from something?
**[07:24] ---**
It has spear mastery as a skill.
**[07:26] ---**
It must have been a poison slime before.
**[07:30] ---**
But why did the poison slime
become a medicine slime...?
**[07:38] ---**
I dropped a bottle of antidote yesterday.
**[07:45] ---**
Oh, no! Dust cloth! Dust cloth!
**[07:56] ---**
Huh?
**[07:59] ---**
I thought the cleaner slimes
cleaned it up, but maybe...
**[08:07] ---**
Oh, they do indeed drink antidote.
**[08:10] ---**
I guess poison slimes do indeed
evolve into medicine slimes.
**[08:18] ---**
Meanwhile...
**[08:22] ---**
Can you show me what kind of
medicines you can make?
**[08:32] ---**
Quite a few, apparently.
**[08:34] ---**
Appraisal.
**[08:37] ---**
Ointment, hemostat, antidote...
**[08:42] ---**
Fast poison, slow poison,
**[08:46] ---**
fast paralysis poison, slow paralysis poison,
**[08:51] ---**
antibacterial medicine...
**[08:53] ---**
Wow, how vast! I guess both medicines
and poisons count as drug synthesis.
**[09:00] ---**
What is this "antibacterial medicine"?
**[09:06] ---**
"A fluid with strong
antibacterial properties.
**[09:09] ---**
Kills off germs and viruses.
Harmless to humans."
**[09:14] ---**
Ah, a disinfectant!
**[09:16] ---**
This might be useful.
**[09:19] ---**
I'll do the things I can do,
one at a time.
**[09:24] ---**
I have to make sure I don't
worry the Jamil ducal family,
**[09:28] ---**
who offered to be with me.
**[09:32] ---**
Coming to think of it, I've been too busy
lately to catch up with the gods.
**[09:38] ---**
I'll go to the church tomorrow!
**[09:42] ---**
That kid is doing
interesting things again!
**[09:49] ---**
Pleased to be with you again!
**[09:54] ---**
You're always on my mind,
Mr. Ryoma, every day!
**[10:01] ---**
Welcome, what brings you here today?
**[10:04] ---**
Prayer.
**[10:05] ---**
I see. This way please.
**[10:09] ---**
Thank you.
**[10:21] ---**
Huh? I thought I'd get sent to
the gods' realm like always, but nothing.
**[10:27] ---**
I guess this is the actual normal outcome.
**[10:37] ---**
This is like it usually is.
What was that weird delay?
**[10:42] ---**
Sorry, I rarely use that power,
so I had to fumble around a bit.
**[10:50] ---**
I've never met him,
but since he's here, he must be a...
**[10:55] ---**
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
I've started living in this town alone,
**[11:01] ---**
so I wanted to come and pay my respects.
**[11:03] ---**
Yeah, I'm Tekun, god of technology
and craftsmanship.
**[11:08] ---**
And you don't have to
bother with that polite talk.
**[11:11] ---**
If I wanted to, I could read your mind.
**[11:15] ---**
There's no point in trying to talk smooth.
**[11:17] ---**
Besides, I don't like being formal.
Have a seat.
**[11:22] ---**
All right, in that case, nice to meet you,
I'm Ryoma Takebayashi.
**[11:28] ---**
Is that...
**[11:30] ---**
The one I made...
**[11:32] ---**
Yeah, I wanted to take a good look at it,
so I made a copy. Hope you don't mind.
**[11:38] ---**
Like a replica, I guess.
**[11:40] ---**
You're from Earth, right?
**[11:43] ---**
Yes.
**[11:46] ---**
I was working in
a typical exploitative workplace,
**[11:49] ---**
and I died, rather easily,
from a sneeze while I was asleep.
**[11:54] ---**
The gods picked me up and
reincarnated me into this world as a boy.
**[12:01] ---**
Yeah, I heard.
Well, I did hear your story, but...
**[12:07] ---**
Techniques from another world
are really fascinating.
**[12:10] ---**
Techniques? Even figurine making?
**[12:13] ---**
Items made by a foreign culture
using an unknown technique
**[12:17] ---**
are interesting to me, as god of
technology and craftsmanship.
**[12:20] ---**
Because I'm a god,
**[12:23] ---**
I know all there is to know about
techniques from this world.
**[12:27] ---**
So there are things you don't know
about techniques from other worlds,
**[12:31] ---**
which interests you.
**[12:32] ---**
Exactly!
**[12:34] ---**
Also, these figurines, it's obvious that
they were created with the utmost care.
**[12:40] ---**
Although it doesn't appear
to be your main craft,
**[12:42] ---**
you did spend a significant amount
of time honing this craft, correct?
**[12:46] ---**
Making things was a hobby of mine.
**[12:49] ---**
And to be blunt, sometimes I made good money
on these, through sales or commission.
**[12:55] ---**
Since I was getting paid,
I couldn't slack off.
**[12:58] ---**
Yeah, that's normal. But there are
many who don't think like that.
**[13:04] ---**
As god of craftsmanship, I like people
who care about doing a good job.
**[13:09] ---**
I see. By the way,
are you the only one here today?
**[13:13] ---**
Yeah, the others just do their own thing.
**[13:18] ---**
The God of Beasts, the God of Magic,
the God of the Earth...
**[13:22] ---**
This place must look like
just an empty white space to you,
**[13:25] ---**
but each god has their own spot
that feels good to be in.
**[13:28] ---**
They build what humans would call
a house there, and live there.
**[13:33] ---**
I see. I didn't know that.
So this is your house?
**[13:40] ---**
No, I don't have a house. I'm the god
of technology and craftsmanship.
**[13:45] ---**
Technologies and crafts
exist all over the place.
**[13:50] ---**
I just travel about, as I please.
**[13:53] ---**
This place and the world
you live in are connected.
**[13:57] ---**
Ask someone else for a better explanation,
I can't explain this well.
**[14:04] ---**
I think Fernobelia would be
able to explain this better.
**[14:08] ---**
Fernobelia? That's a name
I haven't heard yet.
**[14:12] ---**
Oh, you don't know. He's the God of Magic.
**[14:17] ---**
Fernobelia, God of Magic and Academics.
**[14:20] ---**
He closes himself off in his realm.
I don't know what he does in there.
**[14:26] ---**
But when it comes to knowledge,
he's the best, and he explains things well, too.
**[14:30] ---**
He rarely speaks to anyone, though,
not even a fellow god like me.
**[14:36] ---**
I don't know if you'll ever get to
meet him during your lifetime.
**[14:40] ---**
So there are lots of types of gods.
**[14:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:45] ---**
Oh, it's time.
**[14:47] ---**
I wanted to talk to you some more.
**[14:50] ---**
I'll come again.
**[14:51] ---**
Yeah, looking forward to it!
**[15:02] ---**
Thank you.
**[15:04] ---**
Thank you for your generous donation!
**[15:08] ---**
You're welcome. I'll come again.
**[15:10] ---**
I guess it's all right to go to work now.
**[15:17] ---**
I came in a little later than usual.
Is everything all right, though?
**[15:22] ---**
Perfectly fine!
**[15:24] ---**
The new workers have
learned their jobs pretty well.
**[15:28] ---**
I see, that's good.
**[15:30] ---**
So, Manager, I heard you
wanted to talk to us.
**[15:36] ---**
Yes. It's about the windows in this shop.
**[15:40] ---**
If someone wanted to
break in through there,
**[15:43] ---**
it would be pretty easy, right?
**[15:45] ---**
Yes, if they brought a hammer or axe,
it would be easy.
**[15:50] ---**
We plan our security detail
with that in mind.
**[15:52] ---**
Thank you for that.
**[15:55] ---**
So I was thinking,
**[15:57] ---**
if we made the windows harder to break,
it would be easier to protect this place.
**[16:04] ---**
This is something I'm thinking of using
as a replacement to glass windowpanes.
**[16:08] ---**
It's very tough.
**[16:15] ---**
Manager, can I give that a try?
**[16:19] ---**
Of course, here. I have spares,
so it's all right if you break it.
**[16:24] ---**
I'll hold it.
**[16:32] ---**
Here I go!
**[16:36] ---**
Impressive.
**[16:37] ---**
It won't budge.
**[16:39] ---**
Did you make this, Manager?
**[16:41] ---**
Yes.
**[16:42] ---**
This could be a very successful product.
**[16:47] ---**
I'm sorry, but I don't intend to
sell these. It's hard to mass-produce.
**[16:54] ---**
I see.
**[16:55] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:57] ---**
Li Ling, try the enhancement magic.
**[17:01] ---**
Right!
**[17:11] ---**
This is indeed tough. If we use these
on the first floor windows,
**[17:15] ---**
it will certainly make it hard
for attackers to break in!
**[17:19] ---**
But, if we're cornered,
**[17:22] ---**
we won't be able to break out
of a window to escape.
**[17:26] ---**
I see, that is a drawback.
I didn't think of that.
**[17:31] ---**
But it's very useful
for stopping intruders.
**[17:35] ---**
We can replace some of
the windows with these
**[17:38] ---**
to decrease the number of
possible break-in points.
**[17:41] ---**
If we know where they'll try to come in,
we can plan around it.
**[17:44] ---**
I see. So is it all right if I replace
the store windows with these?
**[17:49] ---**
Yes, please!
**[17:52] ---**
I'll start right away, then.
**[17:54] ---**
Manager, didn't you have an appointment with
Mr. Serge from the Morgan Trading Company?
**[18:00] ---**
Oh, right!
**[18:02] ---**
We'll take care of this.
**[18:04] ---**
Yes!
**[18:05] ---**
Thank you, please do.
**[18:07] ---**
Oh, Manager, I wanted to talk to you
about this yesterday.
**[18:11] ---**
Yes?
**[18:12] ---**
It's about starting a second shop
in a different town.
**[18:15] ---**
Ah... Yes, I think it's
still too soon for that.
**[18:19] ---**
Is it?
**[18:21] ---**
Since we have more manpower,
could you reconsider?
**[18:27] ---**
Understood, I'll think about it.
**[18:32] ---**
I just started living by myself
here in the town of Gimul.
**[18:36] ---**
It feels too early for me to
set up shop in a different town...
**[18:42] ---**
For now, I want to prioritize
the relationships I'm building
**[18:46] ---**
with the people I've met in this town.
**[18:47] ---**
Welcome, Mr. Ryoma.
**[18:51] ---**
Hello, Mr. Serge. I've come to do
some personal shopping today.
**[18:56] ---**
I see. What do you need?
**[18:59] ---**
I want to purchase a large number
of bottles to store medicine.
**[19:03] ---**
A large number, you say?
**[19:05] ---**
Yes. I have some free time now,
so I wanted to make some medicine.
**[19:10] ---**
Adventuring is prone to injury.
I want to be prepared for that.
**[19:16] ---**
I see. But if you really want
a large number of bottles,
**[19:21] ---**
perhaps it would be best for you to register
as a chemist at the Merchant's Guild.
**[19:25] ---**
Then, you can purchase them at a discount
from the wholesaler, through the Guild.
**[19:32] ---**
I see, you came here
to buy medicine bottles.
**[19:38] ---**
Yes, Mr. Serge suggested that I come here.
**[19:42] ---**
So how good are you?
**[19:46] ---**
Oh, of course.
**[19:50] ---**
This is an antidote,
and this is a disinfectant.
**[19:53] ---**
I see.
**[19:57] ---**
You're pretty good.
**[20:00] ---**
If you can make medicines such as these,
maybe you can live as a chemist, too.
**[20:05] ---**
I don't plan to, at least not currently.
**[20:08] ---**
Yes, right now your priority should be
starting up your second shop.
**[20:14] ---**
--Huh?
--What is it?
**[20:15] ---**
Oh, um, it's just that Miss Carla, one of
the people who work for me, said the same thing.
**[20:21] ---**
I think it's too soon, but...
**[20:23] ---**
I'm pretty sure you'd do fine
with a second shop.
**[20:28] ---**
Really?
**[20:30] ---**
Oh, if you don't have the funds
to start your second shop,
**[20:34] ---**
perhaps you could make
these drugs as a side business.
**[20:38] ---**
I'll buy them all from you, if you'd like.
**[20:41] ---**
What? All?
**[20:43] ---**
I have high hopes for you.
**[20:53] ---**
I still think it's too soon
to start a second shop.
**[20:59] ---**
Limour bird! It's a letter from Elia!
**[21:07] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, thank you for your letter!
**[21:11] ---**
I have just finished my long journey home
and have finally settled down.
**[21:18] ---**
My family is doing very well.
**[21:21] ---**
The slimes we borrowed from you
are also doing well.
**[21:30] ---**
Hearing about the hard work you're doing,
I feel as though I must do my best as well.
**[21:40] ---**
I wonder what I should do.
**[21:44] ---**
It's about starting a second shop
in a different town.
**[21:48] ---**
I'm pretty sure you'd do fine
with a second shop.
**[21:56] ---**
A second shop...!
**[22:01] ---**
Elia, I think I'm going to get busy, too!
**[22:06] ---**
**[22:08] ---**
