**[00:03] ---**
I opened the slime-assisted
laundry service, Bamboo Forest.
**[00:08] ---**
Thanks to everyone's support,
the first day was already a huge success...
**[00:11] ---**
And so was the second day.
**[00:15] ---**
I can't thank everyone enough for showing up.
**[00:35] ---**
Here you are. Please check to see if
your items are thoroughly cleaned.
**[00:44] ---**
Wow, so great, it really is clean.
**[00:48] ---**
Oh, that one stain I gave up on is all clean!
**[00:51] ---**
And it just kind of... feels good!
**[00:54] ---**
Thank you! I'll be back again!
**[00:58] ---**
Yes, thank you for your support!
**[01:00] ---**
She seems to like the results. I'm glad.
**[01:04] ---**
Ms. Carla, Mr. Callum, I'll head out
to the Merchant's Guild.
**[01:08] ---**
Have a safe trip, Manager.
**[02:42] ---**
"Episode 9"
"The New Coworkers, with the Slimes"
**[02:47] ---**
I gathered some candidates that can do math.
**[02:51] ---**
Any one of them should be able to start today.
**[02:54] ---**
Thank you so much for
organizing this on such short notice.
**[02:57] ---**
Horses for courses, as they say.
**[03:00] ---**
Let the experts handle expert tasks.
**[03:04] ---**
For adventures, you go to
the Adventurer's Guild.
**[03:07] ---**
For business, talk to the Merchant's Guild.
**[03:10] ---**
For laundry, find a laundry service. Right?
**[03:13] ---**
Yes.
**[03:17] ---**
Who's that kid?
**[03:18] ---**
The guild master brought him,
is he her grandson?
**[03:21] ---**
I don't recall her having a grandson like that.
**[03:28] ---**
Nice to meet all of you. I am the owner
of the Bamboo Forest Laundry Service,
**[03:33] ---**
Ryoma Takebayashi.
**[03:37] ---**
Owner?
**[03:38] ---**
Seriously?
**[03:46] ---**
Thank you all for taking time
out of your busy schedules.
**[03:52] ---**
A child, running a business?
Is that really okay?
**[03:56] ---**
I guess it's only natural...
**[03:59] ---**
In our shop, we are looking for staff
who can speak to customers and carry items.
**[04:04] ---**
The items to carry are just clothing,
so it's not very heavy.
**[04:09] ---**
Ladies should be able to
handle that without a problem.
**[04:11] ---**
However, I am a tamer,
and the shop contains my slimes.
**[04:17] ---**
The slimes work, too, so I would
need you to treat them as colleagues.
**[04:24] ---**
Colleagues?
**[04:25] ---**
But they're slimes...
**[04:28] ---**
So if you dislike or are afraid of slimes,
this might not be the job for you.
**[04:34] ---**
If this applies to you,
please feel free to leave now.
**[04:37] ---**
Also, the same goes for if you don't like
the idea of working under me.
**[04:47] ---**
Slimes are monsters, too...
**[04:50] ---**
Taking orders from a kid? Nah...
**[04:52] ---**
Sorry, Guild Master.
**[04:55] ---**
Let me know if you find anything else.
**[05:02] ---**
May I assume that the two of you
don't have a problem working with me?
**[05:09] ---**
The cane, and that hair ornament...
**[05:13] ---**
Can you tell me your names?
**[05:16] ---**
Also, if you have any conditions for
your employment, please let me know.
**[05:20] ---**
My name is Fei. This is my daughter, Li Ling.
**[05:24] ---**
It would be great if you could
hire both of us, yes.
**[05:27] ---**
Ah, you're father and daughter.
**[05:28] ---**
She gets her looks from her mother,
that's why we don't look alike.
**[05:31] ---**
Also, there's one thing you should know.
**[05:35] ---**
Which is?
**[05:38] ---**
Would this leg be a problem for work?
**[05:41] ---**
It's broken.
**[05:42] ---**
A broken leg... I guess
the healing slimes can fix it.
**[05:46] ---**
No, it won't be a problem at all.
**[05:48] ---**
Really?
**[05:49] ---**
Yes, really. Do you have
any requests regarding pay?
**[05:53] ---**
No. As long as we can live,
we have no issue, yes.
**[05:58] ---**
Understood. Then...
**[06:00] ---**
Miss Li Ling, right? Do you have any wishes?
**[06:04] ---**
If possible, can we live at the workplace,
or do you know of a cheap inn?
**[06:09] ---**
To be honest, we don't have much money.
Any cheap lodging will do for us.
**[06:16] ---**
That shouldn't be a problem.
We have dormitories for our employees.
**[06:20] ---**
Really?! I'm glad I brought it up!
**[06:23] ---**
Yes.
**[06:24] ---**
One last question from me.
**[06:27] ---**
Ask away, yes.
**[06:28] ---**
Right. You both seem to be very strong.
**[06:34] ---**
What are those weapons you have with you?
**[06:43] ---**
Manager, what kind of expert are you?
As you suspect, we are former assassins.
**[06:49] ---**
Assassins...
**[06:51] ---**
Former! We quit!
**[06:52] ---**
We don't do that anymore!
**[06:54] ---**
I see.
**[06:55] ---**
Master Glissela can read people
better than anyone.
**[06:59] ---**
Obviously, you knew, too, right?
**[07:01] ---**
Of course.
**[07:03] ---**
I always check anyone I introduce
to a job with my own eyes.
**[07:10] ---**
Yes, like you did for me, too.
**[07:13] ---**
That's right, and doubly true for
those who come from another country.
**[07:19] ---**
Another country?
**[07:20] ---**
The master we served lost in a war,
so we lost our homeland, our job,
**[07:25] ---**
and our reason to remain assassins.
**[07:27] ---**
That's what brought us here.
**[07:29] ---**
So we worked in the mines to make some money.
**[07:34] ---**
But I got caught in a collapse,
and that's how I broke this leg, yes.
**[07:38] ---**
I'm impressed that you noticed.
**[07:43] ---**
I thought we did a pretty good job
pretending to be normal...
**[07:47] ---**
Only the guild master and you
were able to see through us.
**[07:51] ---**
You must be quite special to be able to notice.
**[07:55] ---**
Are you one of us?
No... There is a different feeling.
**[08:02] ---**
You are similar to us,
but not the same. Quite strange.
**[08:06] ---**
I can't explain how I transferred from Earth...
**[08:11] ---**
So when can the two of you start?
**[08:14] ---**
Even though we're former assassins...
**[08:16] ---**
You'll still hire us?!
**[08:18] ---**
Yes, if the guild master
approves of you, I have no worries.
**[08:21] ---**
Really?! We thought we wouldn't
get the job if you found out.
**[08:26] ---**
We had plans for escape and everything.
**[08:27] ---**
Please, don't escape. I need all the help
I can get. Please work with us.
**[08:34] ---**
I will indeed work very hard!
And we can start right now!
**[08:38] ---**
Oh, by the way, in case something happens,
can you be our bodyguards, too?
**[08:43] ---**
Bodyguard, understood!
**[08:45] ---**
It'd be easy!
**[08:47] ---**
All right, Mr. Fei, Ms. Li Ling,
I would like to officially hire you.
**[08:52] ---**
Looking forward to working with you.
**[08:54] ---**
Thank you, Manager.
**[08:57] ---**
It's my pleasure, Manager.
**[08:59] ---**
Work hard, you two.
This business has a great future.
**[09:03] ---**
Understood.
**[09:05] ---**
And stop taking your weapons everywhere!
**[09:08] ---**
It's uncomfortable to be without one.
**[09:11] ---**
They're a part of our bodies now.
**[09:14] ---**
When will you grow out of your assassin habits?!
**[09:20] ---**
They have their issues,
but they're fine people. Treat them well.
**[09:25] ---**
Understood. That said, it would have been
great if you told me beforehand.
**[09:31] ---**
I just wanted to see how good your eyes are.
**[09:35] ---**
Not bad, though not as good as mine!
**[09:46] ---**
Is this your shop, Manager?
**[09:48] ---**
Yes.
**[09:49] ---**
Such a pretty place! And so popular, too!
**[09:53] ---**
You opened just yesterday,
and already you're so popular.
**[09:57] ---**
Let us get to work right away.
I can carry laundry.
**[10:01] ---**
I will work, too!
**[10:03] ---**
Thank you! Please don't exert yourselves
too hard. Just do what you can for now.
**[10:09] ---**
Yes, received. Thank you.
**[10:13] ---**
Ms. Carla, Mr. Callum, I'll help!
**[10:15] ---**
Manager! Welcome back.
**[10:19] ---**
These are the two who are starting today...
**[10:21] ---**
I am Fei. Looking forward to working here.
**[10:24] ---**
I am Li Ling. Looking forward to working here.
**[10:26] ---**
My name is Callum Norad.
**[10:29] ---**
My name is Carla Norad.
**[10:31] ---**
We are looking forward to
working with you as well.
**[10:33] ---**
Mr. Fei, please help with the reception.
**[10:36] ---**
Ms. Li Ling, please carry
the bags of cleaned laundry.
**[10:40] ---**
Understood!
**[10:41] ---**
Understood, yes!
**[10:43] ---**
Next customer, over here please!
**[10:58] ---**
Wow, there really are slimes doing work!
**[11:02] ---**
So impressive...
**[11:04] ---**
Oh, hey all, I'm Li Ling.
I'll be working with you from today.
**[11:08] ---**
Pleased to meet you all!
**[11:13] ---**
Okay, let me help. Is this
the finished laundry? I will carry!
**[11:24] ---**
With Mr. Fei and Ms. Li Ling helping,
**[11:28] ---**
we were able to get through
the evening rush of customers.
**[11:33] ---**
Li Ling, you're good at singing, right?
**[11:38] ---**
Poke... Hey!
**[11:43] ---**
Great work, everyone!
**[11:45] ---**
Thanks, everyone.
**[11:47] ---**
I'm so relieved to see
so many customers come today.
**[11:50] ---**
Yes. Starting from the afternoon,
there were more people who heard about us
**[11:55] ---**
from someone who tried our service.
**[11:57] ---**
I expect this to go on
for at least a few more days.
**[12:01] ---**
I'm grateful. Let's make sure
this is not a temporary thing.
**[12:06] ---**
Yes.
**[12:08] ---**
Ms. Carla, Mr. Callum,
please calculate the sales total for today.
**[12:12] ---**
Certainly.
**[12:13] ---**
Mr. Fei, Ms. Li Ling, can you come with me?
**[12:22] ---**
What are you doing?
**[12:24] ---**
Here.
**[12:25] ---**
Oh, Dimension Home. I'm impressed
that you can use space magic, too, yes.
**[12:32] ---**
What is that slime? It's a different color
from the other ones.
**[12:37] ---**
This is a healing slime.
**[12:38] ---**
Healing slime?
**[12:40] ---**
As its name suggests, it can heal injuries.
**[12:44] ---**
Wait, so...
**[12:45] ---**
The broken leg?
**[12:46] ---**
Yes.
**[12:51] ---**
How is it?
**[12:53] ---**
Oh...
**[13:00] ---**
Oh! It's really healed! It doesn't hurt...
**[13:04] ---**
Look, here!
**[13:13] ---**
Thank you so much, it means so much
to have this leg fixed!
**[13:17] ---**
Don't worry, making sure
the employees work comfortably
**[13:21] ---**
is part of my duty as employer.
**[13:22] ---**
Getting help from a healing magic user
can cost a huge amount!
**[13:26] ---**
I had given up on healing this.
**[13:29] ---**
We used all of our money for bribes to
the border guard when we fled our country.
**[13:33] ---**
Ah, so that's why you had no money.
**[13:36] ---**
The border guards of
our country are very greedy.
**[13:40] ---**
It was our money or our lives.
**[13:43] ---**
I see...
**[13:45] ---**
No need for you to look glum, Manager!
**[13:48] ---**
Now we have work,
my leg is healed, and I'm very happy!
**[13:52] ---**
Gratitude and excitement all around!
**[14:01] ---**
Mr. Fei, please use this room.
Ms. Li Ling, the next room is for you.
**[14:08] ---**
Wow... Such a beautiful room...
**[14:11] ---**
Fully furnished, too!
**[14:14] ---**
When was the last time I slept in a bed?
**[14:20] ---**
Manager, these are the sales for today.
**[14:23] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:26] ---**
Even more than the first day.
**[14:28] ---**
If word gets around about this service,
it will only grow larger.
**[14:33] ---**
Larger?
**[14:34] ---**
Yes. As you know, this is a mining town.
**[14:38] ---**
Though it has shrunk over the last few years,
**[14:40] ---**
it is still home to many miners
and iron mill workers.
**[14:44] ---**
I-I see...
**[14:46] ---**
There should also be demand in other towns, too.
**[14:49] ---**
You should start considering
making branches in other towns.
**[14:53] ---**
Talking of branches, so early?
It has to be too early for that.
**[14:58] ---**
No, it's never too early to think about this!
**[15:01] ---**
If you can find a person you can trust,
you should put that into consideration!
**[15:05] ---**
A-All right, I will keep it
in the back of my mind.
**[15:09] ---**
Oh, right.
**[15:11] ---**
Mr. Fei and Ms. Li Ling are...
**[15:17] ---**
They have military experience,
so they will serve as our bodyguards as well.
**[15:22] ---**
Military experience. That is good to hear.
**[15:25] ---**
Please add that factor to their pay calculation.
**[15:28] ---**
Understood.
**[15:30] ---**
Manager!
**[15:31] ---**
You've helped us more than we could imagine...
I can't thank you enough!
**[15:37] ---**
And thus, day two of our business went well.
**[15:43] ---**
My lady, are you practicing magic again today?
**[15:46] ---**
Yes. I wanted to help your business, but...
**[15:50] ---**
I appreciate the thought. Fortunately,
I've been able to hire more help.
**[15:55] ---**
I see...
**[15:59] ---**
Good luck. I'll work hard, too!
**[16:02] ---**
Yes, thank you!
**[16:04] ---**
Have a good day.
**[16:09] ---**
I brought a whole stack today again!
**[16:12] ---**
Thankfully, many customers came by
today as well, starting from the morning.
**[16:17] ---**
Ms. Carla, Mr. Callum, Mr. Fei,
and Ms. Li Ling all worked very hard.
**[16:28] ---**
I thought the least I could do
was bake them a pizza.
**[16:41] ---**
They took breaks and had meals in shifts.
**[16:44] ---**
This is delicious, Manager.
**[16:46] ---**
Glad to hear that.
**[16:50] ---**
These guys are awesome!
**[16:52] ---**
Yes, the cleaning effects are astounding.
**[16:56] ---**
Who would have thought slimes could do this...
**[17:03] ---**
Not only does it make us clean
and smell nice, it just feels so good!
**[17:09] ---**
Please come back any time.
**[17:11] ---**
We were able to get through day three
by having the full staff work full time.
**[17:15] ---**
Thank you, everyone.
**[17:17] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:18] ---**
We had a lot of customers today as well.
**[17:22] ---**
How are our sales?
**[17:23] ---**
About 1.5 times that of yesterday.
**[17:26] ---**
Wow... That's great.
**[17:28] ---**
"Great"? You mean "wonderfully successful"!
**[17:31] ---**
All of the customers seemed happy!
**[17:34] ---**
Manager, this business will grow even bigger!
**[17:39] ---**
Do you both think so?
**[17:43] ---**
I guess I should hire more people, right?
**[17:46] ---**
Yes, I agree that would be prudent.
**[17:49] ---**
It would help us greatly if you could
speak with the guild again.
**[17:54] ---**
Understood. Also, I'd like to hire a cook.
**[17:58] ---**
Can the Merchant's Guild help us with that, too?
**[18:00] ---**
Yes.
**[18:03] ---**
But why a cook?
**[18:06] ---**
You all have your hands full with work.
**[18:09] ---**
Usually an employee handles that.
**[18:12] ---**
Well, we all have to eat,
but isn't it better if it tastes good?
**[18:16] ---**
Just another element of employee welfare.
**[18:18] ---**
Welfare?
**[18:20] ---**
I don't know that word.
**[18:22] ---**
Oh, um...
**[18:24] ---**
It's a system, or way of thinking,
to help employees work comfortably.
**[18:30] ---**
Mr. Ryoma, you put a lot of thought into
how you treat your employees.
**[18:35] ---**
Live-in work, lots of pay...
**[18:37] ---**
I can't think of many other places
that treat its workers so well.
**[18:40] ---**
Neither my father nor I
can work anywhere else after this!
**[18:43] ---**
It's great to hear that.
**[18:46] ---**
Okay, I will go to the Merchant's Guild,
then head home.
**[18:50] ---**
Please take care of the rest.
**[18:51] ---**
Yes, have a safe trip.
**[18:55] ---**
Good work out there. Here to make another hire?
**[18:59] ---**
The business is doing better than
I thought, so we have the funds.
**[19:04] ---**
I see. How many are you looking for?
**[19:08] ---**
Three employees, and one cook
for the employees' meals.
**[19:15] ---**
A cook? That's an interesting choice.
**[19:20] ---**
Is it rare?
**[19:22] ---**
Usually one of the workers
just takes care of that.
**[19:26] ---**
That's what Mr. Callum said, but like you said,
**[19:29] ---**
horses for courses, right?
**[19:32] ---**
Of course, experts would make food taste better.
**[19:37] ---**
I'll see if I can find candidates.
**[19:39] ---**
In that case, this time...
**[19:41] ---**
I know.
**[19:42] ---**
I'll make sure to find those that
don't mind working for you with slimes.
**[19:51] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:53] ---**
The next day...
**[19:56] ---**
Nice to meet you, my name is Fina.
**[19:59] ---**
I'm Maria.
**[20:01] ---**
Jane here!
**[20:02] ---**
R-Ryoma Takebayashi, manager of Bamboo Forest.
**[20:07] ---**
So young!
**[20:08] ---**
So impressive!
**[20:10] ---**
So wonderful!
**[20:11] ---**
These three came from the same village
to Gimul to find work.
**[20:16] ---**
I see.
**[20:17] ---**
And next.
**[20:18] ---**
I am Selma, a cook. I used to work at an inn.
**[20:23] ---**
All right, Ms. Selma.
**[20:25] ---**
They all agreed to work at your place
and live in your dormitory.
**[20:30] ---**
Now all we need is your approval.
**[20:33] ---**
Yes, I agree.
**[20:35] ---**
I look forward to working with you.
**[20:37] ---**
Yes, thank you!
**[20:39] ---**
By the way, Ryoma.
**[20:41] ---**
Yes?
**[20:42] ---**
If business continues to be good,
**[20:44] ---**
you should think about making
a new branch in a different town.
**[20:49] ---**
If that time comes, come talk to me.
**[20:52] ---**
It might be too early...
**[20:57] ---**
What are you talking about?
I can start today if you want.
**[21:03] ---**
One week passed since our opening.
**[21:11] ---**
The customers seem happy,
**[21:14] ---**
everyone is working hard...
**[21:22] ---**
...and Ms. Selma's cooking...
**[21:29] ---**
...is delicious.
**[21:36] ---**
I was able to take some time out to
wash the walls and take care of the flowers.
**[21:46] ---**
I guess I don't have to be here
all the time anymore.
**[21:50] ---**
Maybe I can take on some
Adventurer's Guild jobs, too...
**[21:56] ---**
I knew he would do well,
but this is beyond my expectations.
**[22:01] ---**
Living by himself in this town...
**[22:04] ---**
Yes, I'm sure he can.
