[00:02] ---
    This is Gimul, the mining town.
[00:07] ---
    After three years in the forest, I was invited
    to leave with the Jamil ducal family.
[00:12] ---
    This is the first town I've visited
    since arriving in this world, Seilfall.
[00:23] ---
    Even though it's called a "mining town,"
[00:25] ---
    the productivity of the mines
    has been falling for a few years.
[00:33] ---
    One of the goals of Mr. Reinhart's trip here
[00:37] ---
    is to assess which mines to keep working on,
    and which mines to close down.
[02:18] ---
    "Episode 3"
    "First Time in Town, with the Slimes"
[02:23] ---
    I went to the church
    with Reinhart and the others.
[02:27] ---
    I needed to go there to get issued
    an item called a status board.
[02:31] ---
    The status board, as the name suggests,
    displays a person's stats.
[02:35] ---
    It also functions as a form of ID.
[02:39] ---
    Here for a status board?
    This way please, to the baptism room.
[02:47] ---
    This is the status board.
[02:50] ---
    Place it on that pedestal, and touch
    the crystal to complete the baptism.
[02:56] ---
    I understand.
[03:16] ---
    Ryoma!
[03:17] ---
    Long time no see.
[03:19] ---
    It's so great to see you again!
[03:21] ---
    Gain, Kufo, Lulutia...
[03:25] ---
    Did I die again?
[03:27] ---
    What?!
[03:30] ---
    I see, so I'm not dead. What a relief.
[03:36] ---
    We just pulled your mind
    over to our side momentarily.
[03:40] ---
    You'll be back where you were without a problem.
[03:42] ---
    But why was I able to
    see you again? I thought...
[03:47] ---
    When you make it to town, go to the church.
[03:51] ---
    With the oracle skill, you can talk to us,
    though just for a short time.
[03:57] ---
    Isn't that what you said?
    I never trained the oracle skill...
[04:02] ---
    You led what can be considered
    a monastic life for three years,
[04:07] ---
    and you prayed to us every day.
[04:10] ---
    That's why we're able to give you
    the oracle skill, so that we can meet.
[04:15] ---
    Yeah! It'll be brief, but we should be able to
    communicate with you from now on.
[04:21] ---
    I see. I'm glad to see you again.
[04:23] ---
    Likewise! Thanks for coming
    to the church, as promised.
[04:28] ---
    That house in the forest was awesome!
[04:31] ---
    Especially the toilet.
[04:32] ---
    I don't think this world has ever seen
    a toilet so clean and odorless.
[04:36] ---
    Well, that was thanks to the slimes...
[04:40] ---
    Actually, no. The cleaner and scavenger slimes
[04:45] ---
    are new species, invented by you.
[04:48] ---
    What?!
[04:49] ---
    No wonder Reinhart and the others
    never heard of them...
[04:53] ---
    Slimes were originally created by me.
[04:56] ---
    Really?
[04:57] ---
    But all I did was give them the ability
    to adapt to the environment and reproduce.
[05:02] ---
    Their evolutionary possibilities were infinite.
[05:06] ---
    But after a few species emerged,
[05:09] ---
    the types of slimes suitable to
    a specific environment got locked in,
[05:13] ---
    making it difficult for
    a brand new species to emerge.
[05:17] ---
    You were the one that unlocked
    the potential of the slimes
[05:21] ---
    that even I, their creator, forgot about!
[05:24] ---
    I see... It was surprising to get
    showered with praise from the ducal family,
[05:30] ---
    but praise from a god is a whole other level...
[05:33] ---
    Actually, even gods have
    strengths and weaknesses.
[05:38] ---
    But who would have thought
    you'd meet with that ducal family?
[05:43] ---
    "That" ducal family?
[05:45] ---
    Well... One of the previous
    transferred people from Earth
[05:50] ---
    got married to an ancestor of the Jamil family.
[05:55] ---
    Yes, I remember fondly.
    She was a person we sent in as well.
[05:59] ---
    Yeah, she was really a nice girl.
[06:02] ---
    Her dream was to become an animal trainer,
[06:05] ---
    and her wish when she transferred
    was to gain a skill that tames animals.
[06:09] ---
    Tames animals? So is that person...
[06:13] ---
    Exactly! She is the one that researched
    and created the taming school of magic.
[06:18] ---
    She then achieved great things
    and was given the title of a noble.
[06:22] ---
    Then the Jamil ancestor fell in love
    with her, and they married.
[06:27] ---
    And from then on, we've been individually
    giving our blessings to the Jamil family,
[06:31] ---
    as a family of tamers. Also...
[06:35] ---
    Eliaria seems to have inherited
    the blood of her ancestor very strongly.
[06:41] ---
    Strong blood...? So the lady has tamer talents?
[06:47] ---
    I'm going to become a tamer.
    I can't rely on others.
[06:53] ---
    It's good to hear that. She works so hard.
[06:57] ---
    Actually, it's her mother's side
    that she inherits strongly from.
[07:03] ---
    Mother's side? There's another Earth
    transferee on that side of the family, too?
[07:07] ---
    We always bring at least one person over
    whenever we take magic from Earth.
[07:14] ---
    Would I ever meet one?
[07:16] ---
    There's usually at least 200 years of
    local time separation between transfers.
[07:19] ---
    Having multiple transferees in one era
    would be close to impossible, I think.
[07:24] ---
    This transferee on the mother's side
    was a stereotypical otaku.
[07:31] ---
    Otaku?
[07:33] ---
    He wished for strong magical powers,
    and used them to become unstoppable in combat.
[07:37] ---
    The power and rate of fire
    of his attacks were astounding.
[07:41] ---
    Thankfully, he was too timid
    to go out of his way to do bad deeds.
[07:48] ---
    We were the ones that gave him those powers,
[07:51] ---
    but we were really worried
    until the day he died.
[07:56] ---
    How troublesome was that transferee...?
[07:59] ---
    Compared to him, you're quite a bit calmer.
[08:03] ---
    I-I see.
[08:05] ---
    You make your own decisions calmly
    and follow the right rules,
[08:11] ---
    but you're willing to try different things
    within those boundaries.
[08:13] ---
    Seilfall couldn't wish for a better transferee!
[08:16] ---
    Why are you talking me up all of a sudden?
[08:19] ---
    Well, I am a god after all. I should
    do things like praising my followers.
[08:25] ---
    Thanks.
[08:27] ---
    No, thank you.
    You give us endless entertainment.
[08:31] ---
    It's time.
[08:33] ---
    Already?
[08:34] ---
    We're always watching over you.
[08:37] ---
    Oh, by the way, the other gods
    have noticed you, too.
[08:41] ---
    Other gods? Who are they?
[08:43] ---
    The god of war and the
    god of magic took note of you.
[08:47] ---
    They generally dislike transferees,
    so it's rather rare.
[08:51] ---
    Huh...
[08:52] ---
    And the god of crafts and artisans
    gave you his blessing.
[08:57] ---
    Um, okay.
[09:00] ---
    So this is goodbye. It's been
    so long since the last time...
[09:03] ---
    If you visit the church again,
    we should be able to meet like this.
[09:08] ---
    Okay. In that case, see you soon.
[09:11] ---
    Yes, see you!
[09:13] ---
    You really are remarkable.
[09:15] ---
    We will watch over you,
    looking forward to the next meeting!
[09:24] ---
    Please check your status board now.
[09:27] ---
    Oh, yes...
[09:30] ---
    It's customary to hide what's
    written on your status board,
[09:33] ---
    except for your name, age, and race.
[09:37] ---
    It's private information, after all.
[09:39] ---
    I understand.
[09:40] ---
    I will leave you now.
[09:45] ---
    Everyday skills... Combat skills...
[09:48] ---
    Magic, crafting, special...
[09:54] ---
    Hmm, a title?
[09:56] ---
    Title "Overcame an Unhappy Life,"
    "Beloved Child of the Gods"...?
[10:10] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[10:11] ---
    Welcome back, Mr. Ryoma.
[10:13] ---
    I'm glad it went without issue.
[10:16] ---
    Ryoma, I'd like to take this opportunity
    to give you some advice, as an elder.
[10:22] ---
    Yes?
[10:24] ---
    Your abilities are extremely high
    compared to other children of your age.
[10:28] ---
    We can expect many unscrupulous
    individuals to approach you
[10:31] ---
    to use you for their own ends.
[10:34] ---
    Right.
[10:35] ---
    One way to avoid this is to hide your strengths,
[10:39] ---
    but given how prominent yours are,
    that would be difficult to pull off.
[10:44] ---
    Instead, my suggestion would be
    to register early at a guild,
[10:48] ---
    and raise your rank to increase your standing.
[10:51] ---
    My standing?
[10:53] ---
    Your abilities are so much higher
    than what's normal for your age,
[10:57] ---
    it's obvious that you have
    the blessings of the gods.
[11:01] ---
    Depending on the blessing, people will
    seriously come after you, so watch out.
[11:05] ---
    I see... That's common sense in this world.
[11:08] ---
    I should control myself, and refrain from
    using too much magic in front of people.
[11:13] ---
    I understand. I'll be careful.
[11:17] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:18] ---
    Huh?!
[11:19] ---
    Well, it seemed like you
    wanted to ask me something.
[11:23] ---
    Um... I was wondering what
    your total magic capacity was.
[11:28] ---
    My magic capacity? I think it was 198,000.
[11:36] ---
    You have so much capacity,
    but you're able to use so much magic...
[11:43] ---
    Well, the higher the capacity,
    the more magic I can use, right?
[11:47] ---
    Huh? No, I mean, you can use the magic properly.
[11:53] ---
    Properly?
[11:54] ---
    Yes...?
[11:57] ---
    Perhaps Mr. Ryoma is not aware of
    the side effects of having a high capacity.
[12:02] ---
    Huh...?
[12:04] ---
    There are side effects?
[12:06] ---
    Yes. Generally, people with
    extremely high magic capacities
[12:09] ---
    have a hard time controlling
    their powers and learning new magic.
[12:13] ---
    Most of the time, these people need to
    train to limit or control their magic.
[12:19] ---
    I see.
[12:21] ---
    Another common sense thing.
[12:23] ---
    I didn't realize since I had no one
    to compare with until now.
[12:29] ---
    It's actually quite impressive
    how you're able to use magic so easily.
[12:33] ---
    I am the same age as you,
    and I can't use magic very well.
[12:38] ---
    You, too?
[12:40] ---
    To be honest, my magic capacity
    is around 200,000.
[12:44] ---
    200,000!
[12:45] ---
    That's more than me!
[12:48] ---
    It must come from that rampaging mage ancestor.
[12:53] ---
    I think I understand now.
[12:55] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, how did you become so great at magic?
[12:59] ---
    Well... If you spend your
    free time playing with magic,
[13:05] ---
    you should be able to teach yourself.
[13:07] ---
    "Play" with magic?
[13:10] ---
    You should try various things
    with some basic magics.
[13:14] ---
    I see. "Playing" with magic--
    I've never thought of that.
[13:20] ---
    It might be worth a try!
[13:22] ---
    Elia should have plenty of magic
    left over for training,
[13:26] ---
    even if you spend some of it playing.
[13:29] ---
    I can teach you any time.
[13:30] ---
    Okay!
[13:35] ---
    It's a promise! Please do teach me!
[13:38] ---
    It really shouldn't be such a big deal,
[13:41] ---
    but it feels really good to be appreciated.
[13:45] ---
    Wobble, wobble. Wobble, wobble, wobble!
[13:52] ---
    This can support one hundred people easily!
[13:56] ---
    After leaving the church,
    we headed for the Tamer's Guild.
[14:00] ---
    The Tamer's Guild is the guild for tamers
    and summoners who control monsters.
[14:07] ---
    Its main task is to provide job offers
    and information to its members.
[14:13] ---
    At the Tamer's Guild,
    Lady Eliaria and I registered as tamers.
[14:19] ---
    But...
[14:21] ---
    Hmm... Who would have thought
    it would be so tough to raise his rank...
[14:25] ---
    It truly was unexpected...
[14:27] ---
    Apparently, the recent trend
    in the Tamer's Guild
[14:30] ---
    is to determine how good a tamer is
    by the strength of the monsters they control.
[14:35] ---
    I found out that, as a slime specialist,
    it is very tough for me to raise my rank.
[14:41] ---
    If he can't raise his rank...
[14:48] ---
    I know. Let's head to the Adventurer's Guild.
[14:51] ---
    Adventurer's Guild?
[14:53] ---
    You said you took down some bandits
    in the forest, did you not?
[14:58] ---
    The Adventurer's Guild values
    survival skills and combat abilities.
[15:03] ---
    It's a great fit for you, Ryoma.
[15:04] ---
    Let's go right away!
[15:06] ---
    Um, okay...
[15:09] ---
    I heard my combat abilities need to be
    tested to register with the guild.
[15:14] ---
    Should I go all out?
[15:16] ---
    Yes, that would be wise.
[15:19] ---
    Good luck, Mr. Ryoma!
[15:22] ---
    Thanks.
[15:23] ---
    Are you today's applicant?
[15:27] ---
    Yes, my name is Ryoma Takebayashi.
[15:31] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[15:38] ---
    Let's begin. For starters...
[15:41] ---
    Shoot those five targets. You get five arrows.
    Don't waste a single shot.
[15:46] ---
    Yes.
[15:49] ---
    I have to do well and live up to
    everyone's expectations...
[16:14] ---
    Dead center, all of them. Impressive.
[16:18] ---
    Maybe all the hunting I did
    in the forest helped...
[16:25] ---
    Incredible!
[16:28] ---
    That was incredible, right?!
[16:29] ---
    Y-Yes...
[16:31] ---
    I didn't know bows are shot so quickly!
[16:35] ---
    N-No, my lady, that was Mr. Ryoma's
    exceptional skills on display.
[16:40] ---
    Really?! So Mr. Ryoma is really incredible!
[16:44] ---
    Yes... We all knew he was good, but...
[16:47] ---
    It seems like we were still
    underestimating his true abilities.
[16:55] ---
    Next is with moving targets.
[16:58] ---
    Targets will come flying out of there.
[17:01] ---
    Like clay target shooting,
    but with a bow, I guess.
[17:04] ---
    This was designed a long time ago
    by an adventurer named Kengo,
[17:09] ---
    who was famous for his unique
    magic weapon, called "Shotgun."
[17:13] ---
    "Shotgun"...? Definitely a transferee.
    He brought a gun to a world of magic...?
[17:20] ---
    Fifty targets, fifty arrows. Good luck.
[17:41] ---
    His concentration is incredible...
[17:44] ---
    Last one!
[17:46] ---
    Four at once?!
[17:52] ---
    What?!
[18:02] ---
    Earth Needle.
[18:05] ---
    Stop!
[18:07] ---
    My bad! My bad! The test is over.
[18:14] ---
    I'm sorry, I was startled
    and reacted without thinking.
[18:17] ---
    It's me who's sorry. That knife throw
    is just a thing I do to warn archers,
[18:22] ---
    as a little cautionary experience.
[18:25] ---
    I see, it's completely dull.
    So that's how that test works.
[18:29] ---
    Some have dodged the knife,
    but you're the first one who struck back.
[18:36] ---
    I'm Worgan, the master of the Gimul branch
    of the Adventurer's Guild.
[18:41] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[18:42] ---
    The master runs the tests?
[18:44] ---
    Huh?
[18:46] ---
    I mean, come on.
[18:49] ---
    I don't know why, but the duke
    brought his whole family to watch.
[18:53] ---
    I can't just let someone else handle the test.
[18:56] ---
    Fair point.
[18:58] ---
    He passes the test with flying colors.
[19:04] ---
    Congratulations, Mr. Ryoma!
[19:07] ---
    M-My lady...
[19:11] ---
    Now your registration at
    the Adventurer's Guild is complete.
[19:15] ---
    Here's your guild card.
[19:18] ---
    Thank you.
[19:20] ---
    Rank G...
[19:22] ---
    Given your skills, I could let you
    start at around rank E...
[19:27] ---
    But I'm also worried that others would
    push back if I start you off too high.
[19:32] ---
    Start at G and work your way up,
    and show everyone what you're capable of.
[19:36] ---
    If you keep at it, I'm sure
    you'll go up in rank in no time.
[19:39] ---
    Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
[19:41] ---
    Come on, don't be so super-polite with me.
    It's a waste of breath.
[19:47] ---
    Since you've registered, why don't you
    take a look to see what jobs there are?
[19:53] ---
    I will.
[19:56] ---
    Generally speaking, you can only take on jobs
    that are at the same rank as you.
[20:01] ---
    However, if you can gather
    a party to go with you,
[20:04] ---
    or for jobs where the guild
    is recruiting adventurers,
[20:07] ---
    there are cases where you can
    take on jobs at higher ranks than yours.
[20:09] ---
    I understand.
[20:11] ---
    The message board for rank G jobs is over there.
[20:14] ---
    Thank you.
[20:20] ---
    Cleaning the communal toilet...
[20:23] ---
    House cleaning, with trash
    including food waste and timber...
[20:30] ---
    If I have the scavenger slimes eat them,
    and the cleaner slimes clean...
[20:36] ---
    Right! Let's try taking on this job!
[20:39] ---
    And the next day...
[20:43] ---
    Everyone, gather around!
[20:46] ---
    This is our first job at the guild.
[20:53] ---
    Have a nice day, Mr. Ryoma!
[20:55] ---
    Thanks! You, too!
[20:59] ---
    This must be the place. My very first job.
[21:10] ---
    Hmm, are they not here?
[21:12] ---
    Excuse me! I'm from the Adventurer's Guild,
    for the cleaning job!
[21:24] ---
    Is it true?! Are you here to clean?!
[21:28] ---
    A cat beastkin! I've never seen one before!
[21:33] ---
    The stench of food waste
    is coming from inside...
[21:38] ---
    M-My name is Ryoma Takebayashi,
    I've been sent from the Adventurer's Guild.
[21:44] ---
    You're really here!
[21:48] ---
    I almost gave up!
[21:51] ---
    I'm Miya! Thank mew so much for coming!
[22:00] ---
    I'm starting to worry if I can
    really finish this first job of mine...
