[00:01] ---
    Separate from us?! But why?!
[00:07] ---
    If I continue to rely on you for everything,
[00:10] ---
    I'm afraid I'll become a terrible person.
[00:12] ---
    That's...
[00:13] ---
    You let me go along with you on the trip.
[00:15] ---
    The baptism...
[00:16] ---
    Registering at the guild...
[00:18] ---
    I was able to become a proper
    adventurer thanks to you.
[00:22] ---
    And...
[00:25] ---
    But...
[00:26] ---
    I feel I am getting spoiled.
[00:30] ---
    That's why I'd like to take a step back.
[00:40] ---
    What are you doing?
[00:43] ---
    Shh!
[02:15] ---
    "Episode 7"
    "Starting the Business, with the Slimes"
[02:20] ---
    You're not going to leave us forever, are you?
[02:25] ---
    Huh? Of course not!
    I love you all so very much...
[02:31] ---
    I just want to retrain myself, and once I'm
    comfortable with myself, then...
[02:35] ---
    Yes, we will welcome you back with open arms.
[02:38] ---
    Mother?! Aren't you going to
    stop him from leaving?!
[02:41] ---
    Just like you are going to
    the school in the royal capital,
[02:44] ---
    Ryoma wants a chance to grow.
[02:47] ---
    To be honest... I don't think that's necessary.
[02:52] ---
    I mean...
[02:53] ---
    Ryoma, you're only 11 years old.
    You deserve to be spoiled more.
[02:57] ---
    Come on, Elise. We discussed this already.
[03:01] ---
    I know.
[03:03] ---
    You discussed this?
[03:04] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:06] ---
    We anticipated that you would one day
    tell us you'd want to live by yourself.
[03:11] ---
    Huh?!
[03:12] ---
    We've seen many children like you.
[03:16] ---
    Immediately after arriving
    in this unfamiliar city,
[03:19] ---
    you registered yourself in the guilds,
    found jobs, and worked diligently,
[03:25] ---
    as if doing so is completely natural.
[03:28] ---
    That is why we expected you would
    bring up this subject at some point.
[03:33] ---
    I see... I didn't know at all...
[03:37] ---
    That said, it came up
    much sooner than we expected.
[03:41] ---
    We won't stop you. But make sure
    you don't push yourself too hard.
[03:47] ---
    Sometimes, excess effort can
    lead to waste, not results.
[03:50] ---
    Yes...
[03:52] ---
    Good. So, you may leave us,
    but we'd like to set a few conditions.
[03:59] ---
    First, please update us
    on a regular basis with a letter!
[04:03] ---
    Right.
[04:04] ---
    Come visit us to show that
    you're doing well, occasionally!
[04:07] ---
    Right.
[04:08] ---
    And finally! If anything comes up,
    don't hesitate to ask us for help!
[04:13] ---
    This is important!
[04:15] ---
    I understand.
[04:16] ---
    Mr. Ryoma.
[04:21] ---
    I am truly sad to let you go,
    but if that is your decision, I respect that.
[04:27] ---
    But!
[04:28] ---
    I must insist on one additional condition!
[04:33] ---
    We will meet again three years from now,
    and six years from now!
[04:37] ---
    Huh...?
[04:38] ---
    I will graduate from school in six years.
[04:42] ---
    However, after the first three years,
    students take a long vacation.
[04:46] ---
    We shall meet then!
[04:49] ---
    I will concentrate on my studies
    and my training in magic!
[04:54] ---
    I understand. I'll try to grow on my own
    as well during that time.
[04:59] ---
    Do you understand?
[05:01] ---
    If you forget because you got too excited
    about something, I will be very angry!
[05:05] ---
    I... I'll do my best to remember.
[05:08] ---
    Come on! Just say you definitely won't forget!
[05:14] ---
    Oh, and there's one more thing.
[05:17] ---
    Huh? More?
[05:19] ---
    While we're in town, you will stay in this inn.
[05:23] ---
    What? But... That's...
[05:25] ---
    This has already been decided.
[05:27] ---
    But... then I'm still relying on you and...
[05:30] ---
    No you won't be.
[05:32] ---
    No, you won't.
[05:34] ---
    Nah.
[05:36] ---
    No.
[05:37] ---
    But...
[05:41] ---
    Do you understand?
[05:42] ---
    But...
[05:43] ---
    You do understand. Yes you do!
[05:46] ---
    I... Thank you.
[05:49] ---
    Yes! Good!
[05:51] ---
    I'm so pleased.
[05:54] ---
    So how long are you staying in town?
[05:58] ---
    Didn't we say?
[06:00] ---
    Until the time of the grell frog outbreak.
[06:03] ---
    Grell frogs? That's...
[06:06] ---
    ...the monster whose hide
    is used for armor, right?
[06:10] ---
    In addition to that, their organs
    can be used to make medicine.
[06:14] ---
    I see.
[06:15] ---
    Every year, there is a massive outbreak
    of them at a nearby lake.
[06:19] ---
    So you want to use them for combat training?
[06:22] ---
    No, actually, the real targets are
    the limour birds that arrive at the same time.
[06:31] ---
    Limour birds...?
[06:33] ---
    This one.
[06:35] ---
    The feathers are very pretty.
[06:37] ---
    Their songs are also very beautiful.
[06:40] ---
    They're highly sought after
    since they can fly very fast.
[06:43] ---
    But capturing them is difficult,
    so not many tamers can tame them.
[06:47] ---
    They're quite rare.
[06:51] ---
    But during this specific period,
    they almost cover the whole lake.
[06:55] ---
    What would that look like...?
[06:58] ---
    Ryoma, you should see for yourself,
    it's a good opportunity.
[07:01] ---
    Yes, you should come with us.
[07:04] ---
    Yes, I would love to accompany you.
[07:07] ---
    Of course! We have to go, for sure!
[07:11] ---
    Y-Yes, my lady.
[07:13] ---
    So, Ryoma, what exactly do you mean
    by living on your own?
[07:18] ---
    Well, first off, I'd like to live
    as an adventurer in this town.
[07:22] ---
    I will establish relationships
    with people and train myself.
[07:26] ---
    I'd also like to start a business.
[07:29] ---
    A business?
[07:30] ---
    Yes.
[07:31] ---
    I was thinking of starting a laundry service.
[07:33] ---
    Using the cleaner slimes, if I advertise
    that I can clean goblin grime,
[07:39] ---
    I think I can make enough money
    to pay for necessities.
[07:42] ---
    You will make money.
[07:43] ---
    Huh?!
[07:44] ---
    What is this, eavesdropping?
[07:46] ---
    No, we didn't intend to, but Camil here...
[07:50] ---
    Hey, don't put this on me!
[07:53] ---
    Mr. Ryoma's laundry service will be successful.
[07:56] ---
    R-Really?
[07:58] ---
    Many adventurers throw away their gear
    because the grime or smell won't come off.
[08:06] ---
    If you can clean it off...
[08:08] ---
    You will make money, I'm sure of it.
[08:11] ---
    I agree.
[08:13] ---
    I see...
[08:14] ---
    You should discuss this with Serge
    at the Morgan Trading Company.
[08:19] ---
    He will surely be able to help.
[08:21] ---
    Yes.
[08:22] ---
    Oh, by the way, if you're going to
    stay in this town, can you do a job for us?
[08:27] ---
    What is it?
[08:28] ---
    Just when you have time between your
    Adventurer's Guild jobs and your business,
[08:32] ---
    can you manage the abandoned mines?
[08:35] ---
    We just need you to periodically take a look
    to make sure no monsters settle there.
[08:39] ---
    Yes, that won't be any trouble at all.
[08:42] ---
    Even as I'm going independent,
    I'm still getting help from them... But...
[08:49] ---
    Everyone, thank you so very much!
[08:52] ---
    Having someone care for me so much
    is definitely a good thing.
[09:00] ---
    The next day, the lady and I
    went to Morgan Trading Company
[09:03] ---
    to discuss things with Mr. Serge.
[09:09] ---
    Wonderful!
[09:10] ---
    Goblin grime, so wonderfully cleaned!
[09:16] ---
    Cleaner slime... Who would have
    thought such a slime existed...
[09:22] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, your ideas are wonderful as always.
[09:25] ---
    It's really not...
[09:27] ---
    No need to be modest.
[09:29] ---
    The idea is truly impressive.
[09:32] ---
    Yes! I can see the massive success
    in my mind already!
[09:38] ---
    Mr. Serge?
[09:40] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, I would suggest that
    you register with the Merchant's Guild.
[09:44] ---
    The Merchant's Guild?
[09:45] ---
    Yes. The Merchant's Guild won't go after
    businesses that barely make ends meet,
[09:50] ---
    but there is a possibility that Mr. Ryoma's
    laundry service will generate
[09:53] ---
    much larger sums of money than that.
[09:56] ---
    Huh... Do you really think
    it'd make that much money?
[09:59] ---
    Huge success guaranteed!
[10:01] ---
    I would suggest that you register now
    so that they don't cause trouble for you later.
[10:08] ---
    If you like, we can go register now.
[10:11] ---
    Yes, if it's not too much trouble for you.
[10:14] ---
    There is no trouble at all!
[10:19] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, your laundry service
    idea is truly wonderful!
[10:21] ---
    It has the potential to make huge revenues!
[10:26] ---
    I, Serge Morgan, would like to
    assist you in any way I can.
[10:33] ---
    Wow, he's starting to get dramatic now...
[10:38] ---
    Um, yes, thank you. I feel reassured...
[10:43] ---
    We must make money, too!
[10:44] ---
    How about debuting as a maid idol?
[10:46] ---
    Big money!
[10:49] ---
    What?!
[10:51] ---
    What?
[10:56] ---
    My name is Ryoma Takebayashi. I'd like to
    register with the Merchant's Guild today.
[11:02] ---
    I am honored to receive
    your guidance and encouragement.
[11:07] ---
    I'm Glissela, master of this guild.
[11:14] ---
    So, you're going to do a laundry service, eh?
[11:17] ---
    Yes.
[11:18] ---
    And you expect to make so much money
[11:21] ---
    that you'd get in trouble later
    for not registering?
[11:24] ---
    Yes, about that...
[11:30] ---
    Ryoma, I like the way you think!
[11:33] ---
    A new unknown breed of slime?
[11:37] ---
    This is good! Yes, it is!
[11:42] ---
    She seems to like it.
[11:44] ---
    Yes, I'm glad.
[11:46] ---
    In that case, let's get you registered already.
[11:51] ---
    Also, I'd like to determine
    where to put the store...
[11:54] ---
    You're really working this old hag hard, Serge.
[11:58] ---
    Hold your horses.
[12:04] ---
    Yeah, this is the one.
[12:06] ---
    Go here and take a look.
[12:08] ---
    It's got a few issues, but I'll make it cheap.
[12:16] ---
    It's quite large.
[12:19] ---
    There was a bar, an inn,
    and a warehouse here, but there was a fire,
[12:24] ---
    and it's been abandoned since then.
[12:27] ---
    The area is residential,
    and it's close to the Adventurer's Guild.
[12:31] ---
    It's also not far from the industrial area...
[12:35] ---
    This really is a great spot.
[12:37] ---
    What do you think, Mr. Ryoma?
[12:39] ---
    Well, the location is good.
[12:42] ---
    So if I can clean it up, then build a shop...
[12:47] ---
    Yes, this will work.
[12:49] ---
    I've made my decision. I will buy this place.
[12:52] ---
    Understood. I will handle the paperwork.
[12:56] ---
    Are you sure?
[12:57] ---
    Yes. I will be charging a commission, of course.
[13:03] ---
    Also, I'd like to loan you some of my employees.
[13:08] ---
    They are professional managers. You can
    leave the management duties up to them.
[13:14] ---
    But...
[13:15] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, it is quite normal to delegate
    day to day management duties.
[13:20] ---
    I guess with restaurant franchises,
    the manager is a hired employee, not the owner.
[13:25] ---
    Hmm?
[13:26] ---
    What is that?
[13:27] ---
    Oh, never mind!
[13:29] ---
    Also, if I may speak honestly...
[13:33] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, in your current state,
    you are not suited for management.
[13:37] ---
    Huh?
[13:38] ---
    Your emotions are visible
    through your facial expressions.
[13:41] ---
    I-Is it really so clear?
[13:45] ---
    Given your age, I suppose you
    hide it better than your peers.
[13:50] ---
    But it won't work against
    crafty seasoned merchants.
[13:53] ---
    I see...
[13:55] ---
    I was kind of proud of
    my poker face in my previous life...
[14:00] ---
    I understand. I will borrow your employees.
[14:03] ---
    Also, I will buy all the supplies
    I need from you.
[14:09] ---
    Thank you!
[14:11] ---
    I feel there is much success
    ahead of us in this venture.
[14:14] ---
    Yes!
[14:16] ---
    And thus, things went along very smoothly.
[14:19] ---
    The laundry business was on track to
    open sooner than I thought possible.
[14:25] ---
    First I had the scavenger slimes
    eat the overgrown weeds...
[14:29] ---
    ...and I let the acid slimes
    melt away the abandoned building.
[14:33] ---
    The shop will be two stories high,
    and have one basement level below.
[14:39] ---
    I also plan to build a dormitory
    for the employees to live in.
[14:44] ---
    Create Block.
[14:51] ---
    Pavement!
[14:57] ---
    Okay, the foundations are done.
[15:12] ---
    I'm sorry to make you help me...
[15:16] ---
    Don't mention it. I hope you're not thinking,
    "Oh, I'm relying on them again"!
[15:22] ---
    Err...
[15:24] ---
    There's nothing weird about helping a friend.
[15:29] ---
    A friend...
[15:30] ---
    That's right, Ryoma.
    It's not overreliance or dependence.
[15:35] ---
    People help each other. That's all.
[15:39] ---
    Thank you!
[15:41] ---
    I said there's no need for that stuff.
[15:44] ---
    Oh...
[15:45] ---
    Come on, man.
[15:48] ---
    Cilia, hand me the apron.
[15:49] ---
    Here.
[15:50] ---
    What, there's only white paint?
[15:53] ---
    White walls fur a laundry service, a great fit!
[15:57] ---
    Yes. I wanted the building itself
    to have a clean look.
[16:01] ---
    Yes, yes. The laundry will be
    as clean as these walls!
[16:05] ---
    Ryoma, I heard you got promoted
    to rank E for that monster hunt job.
[16:10] ---
    Yes, and it's all thanks to you.
[16:12] ---
    Ryo-mya did so much
    for the team, it's only natural!
[16:16] ---
    But really, a laundry service,
    what a great idea!
[16:20] ---
    It's actually all thanks to you, Ms. Miya.
[16:22] ---
    Mreow?
[16:24] ---
    I'd want to get my laundry done
    right away, if I could.
[16:27] ---
    I have so much piled up.
[16:29] ---
    You, too, right, Leipin?
[16:31] ---
    Yes.
[16:32] ---
    Anyone who knows about Ryoma's slimes'
    abilities would come right away.
[16:37] ---
    This business is guaranteed to succeed!
[16:41] ---
    I do hope so.
[16:42] ---
    Don't you worry, we all will be here
    all the time for your service!
[16:48] ---
    Thank you.
[16:49] ---
    But seriously, declining the ducal family's help
    to become independent?
[16:54] ---
    That was quite a decision.
[16:56] ---
    What a waste. It's not something
    you see every day.
[17:00] ---
    But I respect your way of thinking.
    I am impressed!
[17:05] ---
    Um, everyone, perhaps we should
    work more and talk less.
[17:11] ---
    Indeed!
SIGN    "Laundry Service" "Bamboo Forest" "Even goblin grime cleaned off for an affordable price"
[17:17] ---
    "Bamboo Forest Laundry Service"?
[17:21] ---
    What does that mean?
[17:22] ---
    It's based on my last name "Takebayashi."
[17:26] ---
    In the town I grew up in, "take" means bamboo,
    and "bayashi" means forest.
[17:31] ---
    Huh, okay. Not sure what that means,
    but it's a good name.
[17:36] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, don't you think the area
    around the shop looks too bland?
[17:40] ---
    Is it?
[17:41] ---
    How about planting a lawn and some flowers?
[17:45] ---
    Flowers... Sounds good!
[17:52] ---
    I've never planted grass before...
[17:59] ---
    Mr. Ryoma, aren't you tired?
    You've been working nonstop.
[18:03] ---
    I'm fine. It's nothing compared to
    my previous workplace.
[18:08] ---
    Have you ever felt that your work is too hard?
[18:12] ---
    It felt tough at times.
[18:14] ---
    But when I completed a task,
    the sense of accomplishment was great.
[18:18] ---
    When a client complimented my work,
    I was really happy.
[18:24] ---
    By the way, what was your previous workplace?
[18:28] ---
    Oh, um...
[18:30] ---
    I can't say "system engineer" or "programmer"...
[18:34] ---
    Several things. Like carrying things,
    or making some simple dolls.
[18:40] ---
    Dolls?
[18:42] ---
    Would you like me to make you one someday?
[18:44] ---
    Really?! I would love it,
    if you can find the time!
[18:47] ---
    Oh, but...
[18:49] ---
    The ones I worked on were for boys...
[18:53] ---
    It's inappropriate in many ways.
[18:56] ---
    Oh, um, uh...
[18:59] ---
    I'll look forward to it!
[19:03] ---
    Please don't expect too much...
[19:09] ---
    A presentation?
[19:11] ---
    The shop is almost complete,
    so before the official opening,
[19:15] ---
    I wanted to invite everyone
    to come and take a look.
[19:18] ---
    I'll prepare some simple food and drink as well.
[19:21] ---
    Sort of like a light party.
[19:23] ---
    Yes, also as a token of
    my gratitude for your help.
[19:31] ---
    Ryoma?
[19:32] ---
    I'm sorry, I would like to
    stop by the church, so...
[19:36] ---
    All right, I'll walk the lady home.
[19:39] ---
    See you later, Mr. Ryoma.
[19:41] ---
    See you.
[19:58] ---
    Long time no see, Ryoma.
[20:00] ---
    Or rather, I guess not that long.
[20:02] ---
    Kufo.
[20:04] ---
    Hmm? Where are Gain and Lulutia?
[20:06] ---
    They're not here.
[20:08] ---
    Oh... Well, they're actually
    in your old world...
[20:13] ---
    On Earth? Are you inviting someone else?
[20:16] ---
    No, no, not like that. It's just, uh...
[20:20] ---
    Sightseeing.
[20:22] ---
    It's so wonderful, I don't know what to do!
[20:23] ---
    Lulutia is on a sweets tour.
[20:27] ---
    Gain fell in love with an idol group in Japan...
[20:29] ---
    Thank you so much for being born in this world!
[20:34] ---
    What the...
[20:35] ---
    You know how this world
    lacks entertainment, right?
[20:39] ---
    I actually went to visit rare sites on Earth
    just the other day.
[20:45] ---
    The Amazon...
[20:46] ---
    The Sahara Desert...
[20:48] ---
    The deep seas...
[20:50] ---
    Atlantis...
[20:52] ---
    Boy, it was fun!
[20:54] ---
    Did I just hear some weird names?
[21:00] ---
    What, already?
[21:01] ---
    Time's up? That was fast.
[21:03] ---
    I guess it could be because
    Gain and Lulutia aren't here.
[21:06] ---
    Ryoma, you should know, your younger body
    is affecting your mind.
[21:11] ---
    You're experiencing infantile regression.
[21:13] ---
    Huh?
[21:14] ---
    Training yourself is good, but don't overdo it.
[21:18] ---
    Hey, wait...
[21:23] ---
    My mind is being affected
    by my body? Infantile regression?
[21:32] ---
    Your emotions are visible
    through your facial expressions.
[21:35] ---
    It kind of makes sense.
[21:38] ---
    I feel more emotions than before,
[21:41] ---
    and it explains my inability
    to pull off a poker face.
[21:49] ---
    Thanks for your advice, Kufo. I'll be back.
[21:54] ---
    It's late.
[21:56] ---
    I should get home quickly.
    I don't want to worry the lady.
[22:01] ---
    And thus, my busy yet rewarding days went on,
[22:05] ---
    and the laundry business
    was on track to open soon.
