**[00:00] Selma**
It's finished!
**[00:09] Selma**
Here are the menu items
that should sell well at a stall
**[00:12] Selma**
during the Foundation Festival.
**[00:14] Maria**
So impressive! So many!
**[00:18] Fina**
I've never seen a dumpling
made of semesa before!
**[00:21] Jane**
How do you make these, Miss Selma?
**[00:23] Selma**
It's easy. I'll teach you later.
**[00:26] Jane**
Yay!
**[00:30] Dolce**
You want to sell all of those?
**[00:31] Ryoma**
I just asked her to make anything
she could think of that might sell.
**[00:35] Callum**
The Semroid Troupe will be
arriving tonight at the earliest.
**[00:39] Callum**
When they try the food at
the welcoming party tomorrow,
**[00:42] Callum**
we can use their reaction
to narrow down our selections.
**[00:50] Ryoma**
All right, everyone! Let's look forward
to the party tomorrow!
**[00:55] All**
Yes!
**[00:58] Ryoma**
Great. I'm glad everyone
seems to be enjoying this.
**[01:02] Callum**
Yes, but...
**[01:04] Ryoma**
Is something wrong?
**[01:06] Callum**
Even if we do narrow down the menu,
I'm afraid we'll still be short-staffed.
**[01:12] Ryoma**
You're right...
**[01:13] Ryoma**
Cooking, serving,
sometimes directing traffic, even.
**[01:18] Callum**
Yes. Perhaps we should consider
hiring some temporary staff.
**[01:27] Serge**
I'm sorry to disturb you
so late at night, Mr. Ryoma.
**[01:30] Serge**
I brought you the leader
of the Semroid Troupe.
**[01:33] Ryoma**
Oh, right! Come in!
**[01:39] Prenance**
A pleasure to make
your acquaintance, great sage.
***SIGN*** "Episode 8" "Ryoma and the Traveling Entertainer"
**[03:20] Prenance**
My name is Prenance Semroid.
**[03:23] Prenance**
I may appear young, but I am the leader
of a troupe of traveling entertainers.
**[03:27] Prenance**
It is truly an honor to meet you.
**[03:30] Ryoma**
The honor is mine.
**[03:33] Ryoma**
Also, please call me by my name.
**[03:36] Ryoma**
"Sage" is way too much.
**[03:39] Prenance**
Oh! How humble!
**[03:44] Prenance**
The music box.
**[03:45] Prenance**
You are the inventor of that exquisite
little box which plays delicate music.
**[03:49] Prenance**
What word other than "sage"
can capture your great wisdom?
**[03:56] Prenance**
However,
**[03:58] Prenance**
if that is your desire, great sage,
**[04:00] Prenance**
from now on,
I shall address you as "Mr. Ryoma."
**[04:04] Ryoma**
Th-Thank you.
**[04:06] Prenance**
No, it is I who must thank you.
**[04:11] Prenance**
The music box will allow me to
distribute my music far and wide.
**[04:17] Prenance**
Also, thank you so much for
providing us with a greenroom.
**[04:23] Prenance**
Our entire troupe should have
come here to express our gratitude.
**[04:26] Prenance**
I apologize for coming alone.
**[04:30] Ryoma**
Oh, no. You must be tired from your trip.
**[04:34] Ryoma**
It's also very late.
Please get some rest.
**[04:37] Prenance**
I appreciate your understanding.
**[04:40] Prenance**
We were on the highest alert
during the entire trip to Gimul.
**[04:44] Callum**
Did something happen?
**[04:46] Prenance**
Yes. We traveled across
the southern plains,
**[04:50] Prenance**
and we were told that tunnel ants
were seen along the highway.
**[04:53] Serge/Callum**
Ahh.
**[04:54] Ryoma**
Tunnel ants? Are those dangerous monsters?
**[04:58] Serge**
No, not particularly.
**[05:00] Serge**
However, they specialize
in digging the ground.
**[05:04] Serge**
They build vast colonies underground.
**[05:07] Callum**
Carriages that travel over these colonies
could cause a collapse, trapping them.
**[05:14] Prenance**
Fortunately, we've been able to
avoid such a disaster, but...
**[05:22] Serge**
I hope that doesn't affect the preparation
or turnout of the Foundation Festival.
**[05:27] Ryoma**
The Adventurer's Guild
must be working on it.
**[05:31] Ryoma**
Mr. Callum, I'll head over there tomorrow.
**[05:34] Callum**
Understood. I'll handle the shop
and preparations for the party.
**[05:38] Prenance**
Oh! You excel not only in wisdom,
but valor, as well!
**[05:43] Prenance**
The gods must truly love you, Mr. Ryoma!
**[05:51] Paena**
Oh, hello, Mr. Ryoma.
**[05:53] Ryoma**
Hello, Miss Paena.
**[05:55] Paena**
Yes, how can I help you today?
**[05:58] Ryoma**
I heard tunnel ants were spotted
in the southern plains.
**[06:02] Paena**
Oh, you already know. One moment.
**[06:05] Paena**
Tunnel ant related jobs...
**[06:08] Paena**
Here it is!
**[06:10] Ryoma**
Thank you.
**[06:12] Ryoma**
Hunting, colony locating,
and digging up the colony.
**[06:19] Ryoma**
Which one needs the most help?
**[06:22] Paena**
Well... That would be
the colony locating part.
**[06:26] Paena**
It's a time-consuming job,
so it's not popular.
**[06:29] Ryoma**
I see. I'll join in on that part, then.
**[06:34] Paena**
Thank you!
**[06:45] Ryoma**
I want to find tunnel ant colonies.
I'm counting on you all!
**[06:54] Ryoma**
All right, Share Sensation.
**[07:01] Ryoma**
According to Miss Paena...
**[07:03] Paena**
Tunnel ants pile the soil they dig up
around their colonies.
**[07:08] Paena**
So, to find the colonies, please look for
ground that appears to have been dug up!
**[07:12] Paena**
The colony should be nearby.
**[07:17] Ryoma**
Ground that's been dug up...
**[07:23] Ryoma**
Found it! Hmm?
**[07:33] Ryoma**
Is that...
**[07:37] Ryoma**
Hey!
**[07:38] Beck**
Hmm?
**[07:41] Beck**
Hey, it's Ryoma.
**[07:42] Ryoma**
Hi. I guess you guys took the job, too.
**[07:46] Wist**
Yes. We collect herbs
and stuff around here, too.
**[07:50] Wist**
We wanted to help settle things down.
**[07:52] Ryoma**
I see, so that's why.
**[07:57] Finia**
Hey...
**[07:59] Beck**
Hmm? Oh, right.
**[08:01] Beck**
This is Ryoma. You remember,
I told you about him.
**[08:04] Rumille**
Oh! The super strong slime guy!
**[08:07] Ryoma**
I guess that's one way
to remember a person...
**[08:10] Ryoma**
Nice to meet you. I'm Ryoma Takebayashi.
**[08:15] Finia**
I'm Finia. Hello.
**[08:20] Ruth**
I'm Ruth, and this is...
**[08:22] Rumille**
Rumille, his little sister.
**[08:25] Beck**
We all live in the slums,
and we grouped up.
**[08:29] Ryoma**
I see. Seeing how you're
carrying the ant carcass,
**[08:32] Ryoma**
I guess you took up
the hunting part of the job?
**[08:35] Finia**
Yes. We want to collect their carapaces.
**[08:39] Ryoma**
The carapace?
**[08:41] Ruth**
Yeah. We have a big bro in the slums
who's apprenticing as an armorer.
**[08:45] Rumille**
If we bring him materials, he can make
armor and shields and stuff for cheap!
**[08:50] Beck**
I thought this would be a good opportunity
to get everyone some decent armor.
**[08:54] Beck**
But... Yeah, this is all we got.
**[08:58] Wist**
We couldn't find the ants at all.
**[09:03] Ryoma**
In that case, shall I take you
to the colonies?
**[09:07] Ryoma**
I took on the colony
locating part of the job.
**[09:10] Beck**
Are you sure?
**[09:11] Ryoma**
We should support each other in need.
**[09:17] Beck**
Then we'll gladly take your help, Ryoma!
**[09:19] Ryoma**
Yes!
**[09:24] Beck**
Where's the colony?
**[09:26] Ryoma**
One moment.
**[09:31] Ryoma**
You're up, everyone.
**[09:34] Ruth**
What are these?
**[09:35] Ryoma**
Metal and iron slimes.
**[09:38] Rumille**
So many...
**[09:40] Ryoma**
Please stand back. I'll find the colonies.
**[09:45] Ryoma**
Everyone, line up!
**[09:53] Ryoma**
Slowly move forward!
**[10:00] Beck**
Are you sure you can
locate the colony this way?
**[10:03] Ryoma**
Slimes are good at detecting danger. So...
**[10:29] Rumille**
Wow.
**[10:32] Ryoma**
Okay, your turn.
**[10:37] Ryoma**
Hunting the ants is your job, right?
**[10:39] Ryoma**
I'll help if you get in trouble,
so do your best.
**[10:42] Beck**
Y-Yeah! Let's go, guys!
**[10:49] Ryoma**
I shouldn't do all of their work for them.
**[11:13] Ruth**
Rumille!
**[11:15] Rumille**
I know!
**[11:20] Finia**
Fly away!
**[11:25] Ruth/Rumille**
Yay!
**[11:27] Ryoma**
They're doing great.
**[11:29] Ryoma**
Oops, I have to do my job, too.
**[11:35] Ryoma**
Earth Needle!
**[11:41] Ryoma**
Okay, let's go to the next one!
**[11:43] Beck**
Got it! Counting on you, Ryoma!
**[11:48] Elise**
Long time no see.
**[11:54] Elise**
Eyes!
**[12:00] Ryoma**
Good.
**[12:02] Beck**
Ryoma.
**[12:03] Ryoma**
Yes, what's up?
**[12:05] Beck**
It's getting late. Let's head back.
**[12:08] Ryoma**
Did you collect enough carapaces?
**[12:10] Beck**
Yeah. This is more than enough.
**[12:13] Beck**
Besides, we can't carry anymore.
**[12:23] Wist**
Thank you so much for today, Ryoma.
**[12:26] Wist**
This should be enough to have
armor made for all of us.
**[12:29] Finia**
You really helped us out.
**[12:32] Ryoma**
Don't mention it. You were the ones
that did the actual fighting.
**[12:36] Finia**
But you helped when we were in trouble.
**[12:41] Ruth**
Also, if you didn't find
the colonies first,
**[12:43] Ruth**
we wouldn't have been able to
hunt so many. Thank you.
**[12:47] Rumille**
I'm sure we'll get paid a lot
for getting so many!
**[12:51] Rumille**
Maybe we'll have money to enjoy
the Foundation Festival with!
**[12:54] Beck**
We won't have that much money left over.
We're getting five full sets of armor.
**[12:59] Rumille**
Then let's go again tomorrow!
We'll hunt as many as we did today!
**[13:04] Ruth**
Like I just said, we were only able to
hunt so many thanks to Ryoma.
**[13:08] Finia**
Without knowing where
the colonies are, we can't.
**[13:11] Rumille**
Ryoma can come with us, then!
**[13:13] Beck**
Rumille, stop being selfish!
**[13:15] Rumille**
Boo.
**[13:16] Beck**
Sorry, Ryoma. Don't worry about
what she said. You're busy, right?
**[13:21] Ryoma**
Yes, I'm sorry. I'm supposed to put up
a stall for the Foundation Festival.
**[13:26] Ryoma**
Oh, I know!
**[13:33] Callum**
The manager is late.
**[13:36] Ryoma**
Mr. Callum.
**[13:37] Callum**
Welcome back-- Hmm?
**[13:40] Callum**
Who are they...?
**[13:42] Ryoma**
I met them today while
doing my job for the guild.
**[13:46] Ryoma**
I was hoping they could
help us with the stall.
**[13:49] Callum**
Hmm...
**[13:54] Dolce**
Beck?
**[13:57] Beck**
Mr. Dolce!
**[13:59] Callum**
Mr. Dolce, do you know them?
**[14:01] Dolce**
Yes. I take care of them
sometimes at the slums.
**[14:04] Callum**
I see.
**[14:06] Callum**
Well, if the manager recommends them and
Mr. Dolce knows them, I don't see an issue.
**[14:12] Callum**
I am Callum,
assistant manager of this shop.
**[14:15] Callum**
Nice to meet you all.
**[14:19] Children**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[14:22] Ryoma**
Mr. Callum, would it be all right
to have them join the party tonight?
**[14:29] Callum**
Yes, that's fine.
**[14:31] Beck**
What? Are you sure?
**[14:33] Wist**
We came in so suddenly.
**[14:35] Callum**
It's fine, we prepared extra food.
**[14:39] Ryoma**
This event is for everyone to get to
know each other before the festival.
**[14:44] Ryoma**
Please enjoy.
**[14:49] Ryoma**
I'll discuss your pay later.
**[14:52] Ryoma**
Mr. Dolce, can I ask you
to take care of them?
**[14:56] Dolce**
Understood. I will introduce them
to the others.
**[14:59] Ryoma**
Thank you.
**[15:01] Ryoma**
Well, Mr. Callum.
**[15:02] Callum**
Yes, Manager. Please greet everyone.
**[15:07] Ryoma**
Everyone, my name is Ryoma Takebayashi,
manager of Bamboo Forest.
**[15:13] Ryoma**
Please allow me to say
a few words to greet you all.
**[15:16] Ryoma**
Thank you for gathering today.
**[15:19] Ryoma**
Let's all work together to make this
a great Founding Festival!
**[15:24] Ryoma**
Cheers!
**[15:24] All**
Cheers!
**[15:28] Selma**
Here's the food!
**[15:30] Selma**
Everyone, please enjoy!
**[15:33] Maria/Jane/Fina**
Yes, please!
**[15:42] Fina**
It's delicious.
**[15:44] Prenance**
This is a great party, Mr. Ryoma!
**[15:47] Ryoma**
Mr. Prenance, how do you like the food?
**[15:50] Prenance**
It exceeded my expectations.
**[15:52] Prenance**
The members of my troupe are
also enjoying it, as you can see!
**[15:57] Maiya**
So good!
**[16:04] Sordio**
I apologize for my gluttonous niece.
I am Sordio.
**[16:08] Sordio**
My niece Maiya and I are sword dancers.
**[16:11] Ryoma**
Sword dancers?
**[16:13] Prenance**
They are masters in the art of slicing things
with their swords while dancing.
**[16:17] Prenance**
Also, every festival has its fights.
**[16:20] Prenance**
If something happens, please call on them.
**[16:23] Ryoma**
Thank you.
**[16:25] Ryoma**
It's reassuring to have
someone like that around.
**[16:29] Sordio**
If you need anything,
feel free to ask either Maiya or me.
**[16:33] Maiya**
Ask me for what, Uncle?
**[16:35] Sordio**
We will help provide security
at this establishment.
**[16:38] Maiya**
Oh, right. Nice to know you, bossman.
**[16:44] Maiya**
The food is great!
**[16:47] Sordio**
Either introduce yourself
or offer a review, not both!
**[16:51] Ryoma**
I'm glad you like it.
**[16:53] Ryoma**
You should leave some room
for dessert, though.
**[16:58] Maiya**
What?! Seriously?!
**[17:01] Sordio**
Why would you then start eating more...?
**[17:03] Maiya**
I thought I should finish everything up
before dessert arrives.
**[17:09] Beck**
What's this?
**[17:11] Jane**
It's a dumpling made of semesa.
It's delicious.
**[17:18] Beck**
It's awesome!
**[17:21] Ruth**
It really is delicious.
**[17:24] Rumille**
It's so good...
**[17:30] Maria**
There's plenty more.
**[17:32] Callum**
How are these made?
**[17:35] Beck**
Ryoma, you really are awesome.
**[17:39] Ryoma**
It's not just me. I received help
from the people around me.
**[17:45] Rumille**
That's still awesome, though!
**[17:47] Finia**
And you're strong, too.
**[17:50] Ruth**
Yeah, the tunnel ant went down instantly.
**[17:53] Wist**
Say, Ryoma, how is it you're so strong?
**[17:59] Ryoma**
What brought that about?
**[18:01] Wist**
Well, um...
**[18:03] Wist**
Don't you ever feel scared while fighting?
**[18:08] Ryoma**
Oh, I remember.
**[18:15] Ryoma**
I see.
**[18:17] Beck**
You're being weak again.
**[18:19] Wist**
I'm sorry...
**[18:21] Wist**
So, do you?
**[18:24] Ryoma**
Hmm. When I'm fighting,
I'm concentrating on that,
**[18:28] Ryoma**
so I don't really feel scared.
**[18:32] Wist**
I see.
**[18:33] Ryoma**
It's all right. You'll learn through
training and experience.
**[18:39] Ryoma**
Don't rush yourself, work hard!
**[18:41] Ryoma**
Wist, you have some
great friends around you.
**[18:45] Beck**
Ryoma's right. You can rely on us.
**[18:49] Beck**
We're relying on you, too.
**[18:53] Wist**
Yeah.
**[19:01] Ryoma**
I'm sorry I brought them so suddenly.
**[19:05] Callum**
No, I was the one who suggested
we needed more help.
**[19:09] Callum**
Thank you for taking care
of that so quickly.
**[19:13] Callum**
But anyway...
**[19:16] Callum**
We've become quite a large group.
**[19:20] Callum**
When I first came to this town,
**[19:22] Callum**
I didn't imagine I'd be
working with so many people.
**[19:28] Ryoma**
Yes.
**[19:30] Ryoma**
Yes, indeed.
**[19:34] Ryoma**
Dear Lady Eliaria Jamil.
**[19:37] Ryoma**
We held a party today to get everyone
to know each other for the festival.
**[19:42] Ryoma**
There was a huge turnout,
**[19:44] Ryoma**
and it really made me realize that
I have so many people in my life now
**[19:47] Ryoma**
that I can call friends.
**[19:50] Ryoma**
I'm sure you have worries about
going to the academy in the capital,
**[19:54] Ryoma**
but I'm sure you'll be able to
make friends there quickly.
**[20:02] Ryoma**
Good luck, Elia!
**[20:08] Eliaria**
All right, I'll be taking off now.
**[20:11] Reinhart**
Listen, Elia. If anything happens,
send me a letter.
**[20:15] Reinhart**
In fact, send letters regardless!
Every day if you want!
**[20:19] Elise**
My dear, you're worrying her.
**[20:22] Reinbach**
Indeed. You're the one
that needs to grow up.
**[20:27] Reinhart**
F-Father...
**[20:32] Sebas**
Oh, you're finally smiling.
**[20:36] Elise**
Oh, you're right. Good job, my dear.
Was this your plan all along?
**[20:42] Reinhart**
Um, yes, actually.
**[20:45] Reinbach**
Really?
**[20:49] Reinhart**
Have a safe trip, Elia.
Enjoy your life at school.
**[20:53] Elise**
Yes. This is a good opportunity
for you to try many things.
**[20:57] Reinbach**
Yes. I'm sure being the daughter of the duke
would attract some unwanted attention,
**[21:03] Reinbach**
but you should be able to handle it.
**[21:05] Sebas**
Yes. My lady, your judgment
of character is impeccable.
**[21:10] Sebas**
There is nothing for us
to worry about, is there?
**[21:22] Elise**
You should get going.
**[21:23] Eliaria**
Yes! I'll really be taking off now!
**[21:33] Reinhart**
Hughes, Camil, we're counting on you!
**[22:00] Eliaria**
Mr. Ryoma, I'll do my best!
