**[00:04] ---**
Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil.
**[00:07] ---**
How are you?
**[00:10] ---**
I departed Gimul and am on my way
to Lenaf on my own.
**[00:18] ---**
I'm going to open up the second
Bamboo Forest shop there!
**[00:22] ---**
Wow, a second shop already?!
**[00:25] ---**
That's impressive, Mr. Ryoma!
**[00:36] ---**
I wonder what kind of people
I'll meet in the new town.
**[00:42] ---**
Elia, I can't wait!
**[02:22] ---**
"Episode 3"
"Ryoma and the Poster Girl"
**[02:44] ---**
So this is Lenaf...
**[02:46] ---**
It's not as big as Gimul,
but it's so full of activity.
**[02:51] ---**
Right, then.
**[02:56] ---**
Mr. Pioro Saionji...
**[02:59] ---**
Master Glissela told me to get help
from this person while in Lenaf.
**[03:03] ---**
Let's go find him!
**[03:13] ---**
So this is Mr. Pioro's shop.
**[03:17] ---**
Saionji Trading Company... It's huge.
**[03:21] ---**
Welcome.
**[03:25] ---**
They seem really busy. I probably
shouldn't bother them right now.
**[03:32] ---**
Should I come back later?
**[03:34] ---**
Well, hmm...
**[03:36] ---**
Welcome.
**[03:37] ---**
Huh?
**[03:39] ---**
Are you looking for something?
**[03:42] ---**
Oh, sorry. I'm not here for shopping.
**[03:46] ---**
I need to meet with Mr. Pioro Saionji.
**[03:49] ---**
Oh, you here to see my dad?
**[03:51] ---**
Dad?
**[03:54] ---**
Excuse me. Are you here to meet my father?
**[03:57] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[03:59] ---**
What's up?
**[04:01] ---**
Hey, Dad.
**[04:03] ---**
This is Mr. Pioro?
**[04:05] ---**
What's this, Miyabi? Is he hitting on you?
**[04:08] ---**
No way! What are you talking about?!
**[04:11] ---**
He isn't? Too bad.
**[04:14] ---**
Why is that a bad thing?!
**[04:16] ---**
Anyway, this boy wants to talk to you.
**[04:19] ---**
To me?
**[04:22] ---**
Nice to meet you. I'm Ryoma Takebayashi
from the town of Gimul.
**[04:28] ---**
I was sent here by Master Glissela.
**[04:31] ---**
Oh, so you're Ryoma!
Nice to meet you. I'm Pioro!
**[04:36] ---**
Glissela told me about you,
**[04:40] ---**
that there's a kid who does an interesting
business--a laundry service using slimes.
**[04:45] ---**
You want to start a branch here, right?
**[04:48] ---**
In that case, you have to go to the guild
to do a lot of paperwork.
**[04:54] ---**
But don't worry, I've got you covered
from head to toe.
**[04:58] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:00] ---**
Huh?
**[05:01] ---**
What's wrong, Miyabi?
**[05:03] ---**
I mean, a branch of a business?
**[05:08] ---**
This kid? For real?
**[05:10] ---**
He doesn't seem that much older than me.
**[05:14] ---**
In fact, he's only 11,
so he's one year younger than you.
**[05:19] ---**
Eleven?!
**[05:22] ---**
Don't be so surprised,
you're making Ryoma uncomfortable.
**[05:25] ---**
Oh, my apologies!
**[05:29] ---**
My name is Miyabi Saionji. My father and I
are honored to make your acquaintance.
**[05:35] ---**
Thank you, it's a pleasure
to meet you as well.
**[05:38] ---**
By the way, "Miyabi" was the name of
the daughter of the founder of our business.
**[05:44] ---**
I thought it'd bring
a share of the good luck.
**[05:46] ---**
Um, right.
**[05:48] ---**
Where'd that come from?!
**[05:50] ---**
Um, did that person
achieve something great?
**[05:55] ---**
Nope, she was a regular poster girl,
and had a regular and happy life.
**[06:01] ---**
I see, so you want your daughter
to be happy like her...
**[06:06] ---**
No, I thought naming my daughter after the
founder's daughter would bring me good luck.
**[06:12] ---**
You want the good luck for yourself?!
**[06:14] ---**
S-Sorry, I couldn't help it...
**[06:16] ---**
No, that was a good jab. Right, Miyabi?
**[06:20] ---**
Indeed. Wait, no! You have business
at the guild, right?
**[06:26] ---**
Go take him there already!
**[06:28] ---**
Right!
**[06:31] ---**
And so we're off, but there's not actually
a lot to do at the guild.
**[06:37] ---**
Huh?
**[06:38] ---**
Glissela asked me to
take care of everything,
**[06:42] ---**
so I've already talked to them about
the real estate, the various paperwork,
**[06:46] ---**
and all the other bothersome stuff.
**[06:49] ---**
All that's left is for you to look through
some documents and sign them.
**[06:55] ---**
You took care of that much already...?
**[07:00] ---**
If I hadn't, Glissela would
bite my head off.
**[07:05] ---**
Here we are. Let's get this over with.
**[07:09] ---**
Right!
**[07:11] ---**
Huh? That building is
the Merchant's Guild?
**[07:30] ---**
The interior is impressive, too.
**[07:32] ---**
You like what you see, Ryoma?
It used to be a fortress.
**[07:38] ---**
A fortress?
**[07:39] ---**
The Merchant's Guild uses a fortress?
**[07:43] ---**
No, not just the Merchant's Guild.
**[07:46] ---**
The Adventurer's Guild, Craftsman's Guild,
and the Dragoon's Guild.
**[07:51] ---**
There are four guilds in this place.
**[07:55] ---**
The Dragoon's Guild?
**[07:57] ---**
Oh, right. You wouldn't know.
Take a look outside.
**[08:04] ---**
Wow...
**[08:06] ---**
That's impressive, I've never seen
so many large monsters.
**[08:12] ---**
All of those monsters
work for the Dragoon's Guild.
**[08:16] ---**
They've been gathered
to carry people and goods.
**[08:20] ---**
All of them?!
**[08:24] ---**
By using flying monsters,
they can carry many goods quickly.
**[08:29] ---**
But doing so requires a lot of facilities
to tend to the monsters.
**[08:34] ---**
They use the fortress for that.
**[08:38] ---**
I see. But then,
what about the other guilds?
**[08:43] ---**
That's what makes Lenaf special.
**[08:46] ---**
The Adventurer's Guild
gathers raw material,
**[08:49] ---**
the Craftsman's Guild
turns them into goods.
**[08:52] ---**
The Merchant's Guild sells those goods,
and the Dragoon's Guild transports them.
**[08:58] ---**
That's how this town got bigger.
**[09:02] ---**
I see...
**[09:04] ---**
And to top it off, the person who
came up with that whole setup
**[09:10] ---**
is my ancestor!
**[09:12] ---**
He even came up with
the cool name, "Airport."
**[09:16] ---**
Pretty good, don't you think?
**[09:19] ---**
R-Right...
**[09:21] ---**
Yes!
**[09:23] ---**
Airport? That's a direct word from Earth.
**[09:29] ---**
When I heard the name "Saionji,"
I thought about the possibility,
**[09:33] ---**
but now I know for sure,
Mr. Pioro's ancestor was a transfer as well.
**[09:37] ---**
So this is another way
a transfer can leave their mark.
**[09:41] ---**
Thank you for waiting.
**[09:42] ---**
Oh, here he is. Ryoma.
**[09:44] ---**
Coming!
**[09:50] ---**
Thank you so much for
setting all this up for me, Mr. Pioro.
**[09:55] ---**
I should have no trouble
working on opening my shop now.
**[09:58] ---**
That was no big deal,
don't worry about it.
**[10:00] ---**
After all, you're a bright newcomer
that Glissela has high hopes for.
**[10:05] ---**
In other words, it's in my best interest
to get gratitude from you.
**[10:10] ---**
Return the favor somehow
in the future, all right?
**[10:12] ---**
Yes, certainly.
**[10:14] ---**
Nice response. I'm looking forward to it.
**[10:18] ---**
Let's go take a look at the shop now.
**[10:20] ---**
Yes.
**[10:23] ---**
So this is the place...
**[10:25] ---**
Looks good, huh? Also...
**[10:29] ---**
It's across the street from my place.
**[10:31] ---**
If you need anything,
don't hesitate to ask.
**[10:34] ---**
Wow, thank you so much
for all of your support.
**[10:41] ---**
Like I said, don't worry about it.
I'm a businessman.
**[10:45] ---**
I just make sure I don't miss any opportunity,
including hunting for gratitude.
**[10:50] ---**
Enough about me,
and enough standing around.
**[10:56] ---**
Let's go inside!
**[10:59] ---**
Whoa, Mr. Pioro!
**[11:02] ---**
The first floor is the shop area.
**[11:04] ---**
The second floor has
meeting rooms and such.
**[11:07] ---**
The previous owner's house
is on the premises, as well,
**[11:11] ---**
so you can use that as
the employees' dormitory, I guess.
**[11:15] ---**
Yes. I think this place will be ready
as soon as I build the furniture.
**[11:22] ---**
I'll contact Gimul immediately
and get them to send people.
**[11:26] ---**
Drei!
**[11:30] ---**
Oh, it's a limour bird!
**[11:32] ---**
Yes, I tamed them recently.
**[11:35] ---**
Glissela told me you're a tamer,
**[11:39] ---**
but I didn't know you were so good at that,
on top of being a good businessman.
**[11:47] ---**
I'm counting on you, Drei!
**[11:49] ---**
All right, now we just wait
for people to arrive.
**[11:53] ---**
By the way, did you already
book an inn for the night?
**[11:56] ---**
Oh!
**[11:58] ---**
Looks like you forgot. Good, then.
**[12:02] ---**
You should stay at our place
while you're here.
**[12:05] ---**
Are you sure?
**[12:06] ---**
Of course. And look forward
to dinner, too.
**[12:10] ---**
Dinner?
**[12:11] ---**
You haven't eaten anything decent
after you left Gimul, have you?
**[12:17] ---**
I didn't realize
travel food was so gross...
**[12:25] ---**
Food for newbie adventurers is supposed to
be cheap and durable, not taste good.
**[12:33] ---**
Don't worry, though!
**[12:35] ---**
Tonight, you'll eat something
so delicious and rare,
**[12:39] ---**
you'll forget about all of that!
**[12:42] ---**
Delicious and rare?
**[12:46] ---**
Not that I'd know. No way.
**[12:51] ---**
Yeah, I do realize
I should work hard, too. Really.
**[12:57] ---**
Miso soup, cooked fish, and rice?!
**[13:04] ---**
Ryoma, you know about these?
I wanted to surprise you.
**[13:09] ---**
I'm totally surprised!
**[13:12] ---**
Mr. Pioro, can you get miso around here?!
**[13:15] ---**
Yep. Not just miso,
but mirin, vinegar, and soy sauce, too.
**[13:21] ---**
Soy sauce, too?!
**[13:22] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, please calm down.
**[13:24] ---**
Oh... S-Sorry.
**[13:27] ---**
If you're that interested,
I'll pack you some later.
**[13:31] ---**
Are you sure?!
**[13:34] ---**
Enough chit-chat.
**[13:38] ---**
Eat your food before it gets cold.
**[13:41] ---**
Talk later.
**[13:43] ---**
All right, Mr. Ryoma?
**[13:45] ---**
Yes!
**[14:06] ---**
Delicious!
**[14:11] ---**
So many memories...
**[14:13] ---**
Memories? Did you live in
a Dragonewt village or something?
**[14:20] ---**
Oh, no, my grandmother used to make these.
**[14:27] ---**
Don't be so uptight, what's important
is that you like this food.
**[14:32] ---**
Besides, I'm a bit relieved.
**[14:35] ---**
Huh?
**[14:36] ---**
You have a cute side, too,
that's more befitting of your age.
**[14:40] ---**
I was impressed by how you had a business
and a second branch at age 11.
**[14:45] ---**
Thank you, but I was just lucky.
**[14:49] ---**
I was fortunate enough to meet
some great people and get their help.
**[14:54] ---**
If you can honestly say that at your age,
that's already quite impressive.
**[15:00] ---**
Compared to that, Miyabi here...
**[15:03] ---**
You got a problem with me, Dad?
**[15:05] ---**
See? I wish you spoke
more politely, like Ryoma.
**[15:11] ---**
Can you really make it in the academy
at the royal capital? I'm worried.
**[15:18] ---**
Miss Miyabi, are you going to the academy?
**[15:21] ---**
Yeah, to make connections
as a future businessperson.
**[15:26] ---**
It sounds like a lot of rigid human
relations type stuff would come up,
**[15:30] ---**
so I really don't want to go...
**[15:36] ---**
You're that opposed?
**[15:43] ---**
By the way, what are your plans
from tomorrow, Ryoma?
**[15:46] ---**
It'll take some time for my staff
to arrive from Gimul,
**[15:50] ---**
so I'll prepare the shop and also
find some work as an adventurer.
**[15:54] ---**
What? Mr. Ryoma,
you're an adventurer, too?
**[15:58] ---**
Yes, but I'm only a rank E.
**[16:02] ---**
Rank E...
**[16:05] ---**
At your age, E is quite high, but...
**[16:09] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[16:11] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, there aren't many
E-ranked jobs in town right now.
**[16:16] ---**
Huh?
**[16:17] ---**
There's a strong monster
prowling the outskirts of town.
**[16:21] ---**
It's preventing people from
assigning quick jobs outside of town.
**[16:27] ---**
The monster's even showing its face
on the highways. It's affecting business.
**[16:33] ---**
What kind of monster is it?
**[16:35] ---**
A Smash boar, rank D.
**[16:39] ---**
Smash boar...
**[16:41] ---**
Where did I hear that name before?
**[16:46] ---**
Right! It was before I reincarnated.
**[16:48] ---**
Gain and the other gods told me about it.
**[16:51] ---**
There are several people whose names I've
borrowed to establish an identity in this world.
**[16:58] ---**
They wanted me to find
and use their heirlooms
**[17:01] ---**
that they've hidden in their hometown.
**[17:06] ---**
That hometown,
the Great Forest of Schluss,
**[17:09] ---**
is one of the most dangerous places
in this world, home to many fierce monsters.
**[17:14] ---**
The gods suggested that I fight some monsters
that are similar to those in the Great Forest
**[17:18] ---**
to prepare, before I went.
**[17:21] ---**
--Smash boar... That was one of
the monsters they mentioned!
**[17:24] ---**
--Ryoma?
--Smash boar... That was one of
the monsters they mentioned!
**[17:26] ---**
Mr. Ryoma?
**[17:28] ---**
What's wrong? You seemed lost in thought.
**[17:31] ---**
Oh, um... The smash boar happens to be
a monster I always wanted to try and take down.
**[17:39] ---**
Oh, what a great coincidence, then!
**[17:42] ---**
In that case, why don't you go out
and take care of it for us!
**[17:46] ---**
Then if you brought it back to me,
its meat sells quite well...
**[17:50] ---**
Dad?
**[17:54] ---**
What are you talking about?
Mr. Ryoma is a rank E.
**[17:58] ---**
What are you going to do
if he winds up hurt or something?
**[18:00] ---**
I know, I know, I'm just joking,
don't get so upset.
**[18:07] ---**
There are some things
one should *never* joke about!
**[18:10] ---**
On top of that,
the "joke" wasn't even funny!
**[18:13] ---**
Dad, you're the worst.
**[18:16] ---**
Ryoma, help me...
**[18:19] ---**
Umm...
**[18:23] ---**
Sorry, Ryoma,
I have to stay at work today.
**[18:28] ---**
I'll have Miyabi accompany you today.
**[18:30] ---**
I'm counting on you here, Miyabi.
**[18:32] ---**
Gotcha!
**[18:33] ---**
Good, see ya.
**[18:36] ---**
So, Mr. Ryoma, what'll it be today?
**[18:39] ---**
Let's see...
**[18:41] ---**
I'd like to go buy some lumber
to make furniture for the shop.
**[18:45] ---**
Lumber, got it!
**[18:55] ---**
Oh, sounds like he's working hard.
**[18:59] ---**
Ryoma! How's it going?
I found some spare time so I came by to--
**[19:05] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:12] ---**
What's going on?
**[19:16] ---**
Miyabi, what is this?
**[19:19] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[19:22] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, what are these?
**[19:25] ---**
Slimes, of course.
**[19:27] ---**
No, no, no!
**[19:29] ---**
What do you mean, "Slimes, of course"?!
**[19:31] ---**
Yeah! How are these slimes
able to use tools?!
**[19:35] ---**
I taught them, and they learned.
**[19:36] ---**
What?!
**[19:41] ---**
Well, I'll wrap up work on this for today.
**[19:45] ---**
I'll head off to
the Adventurer's Guild now.
**[19:47] ---**
Um, right.
**[19:49] ---**
Safe trip...
**[19:50] ---**
Yes!
**[19:53] ---**
Hey, Mr. Ryoma!
**[19:55] ---**
Watch out for the Smash Boar!
Run away if you see it!
**[20:00] ---**
That said...
**[20:03] ---**
Now that I'm outside of town,
**[20:05] ---**
I can't help it if it attacks me, right?
**[20:12] ---**
Miss Miyabi was right.
**[20:16] ---**
There were so few rank E jobs.
**[20:20] ---**
Hunting for herbs was
the best I could find.
**[20:27] ---**
Right. No point in being down!
**[20:31] ---**
Okay, let's begin.
It's time to get to work, Slimes.
**[20:39] ---**
Yes, this stash should be enough...
**[20:44] ---**
Or maybe too much.
**[20:50] ---**
Elia! She wrote back already!
**[20:54] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, thank you for your letter!
**[20:59] ---**
Congratulations on
starting your second shop!
**[21:02] ---**
I was so elated that I went and
told my family all about it!
**[21:08] ---**
They were all so happy to hear
your business was going well!
**[21:14] ---**
It's quite impressive that you're
able to start a new shop already.
**[21:19] ---**
Please start many branches like this.
**[21:24] ---**
Then, perhaps...
**[21:29] ---**
If possible, maybe one in
the royal capital, as well.
**[21:33] ---**
I thought perhaps then,
I will be able to see you again sooner.
**[21:41] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, with your business growing,
I'm sure you'll have a lot more work to do.
**[21:46] ---**
Please don't overwork yourself
and take care of your health.
**[21:52] ---**
Yes, I'll be careful. Thank you, Elia.
**[22:01] ---**
Smash boar!
**[22:02] ---**
**[22:04] ---**
