**[00:08] Morlock**
Can you really open it, Saitou?
**[00:12] Saitou**
Yes. Probably.
**[00:22] Raelza**
What are those?
**[00:23] Saitou**
Tools that open locks.
**[00:40] Raelza**
Will this really be all right?
**[00:41] Raelza**
If he fails and activates a trap...
**[00:44] Lafanpan**
Well, let's just try trusting him.
**[00:46] Lafanpan**
You said you wanted a skilled thief
as an ally, didn't you?
**[00:50] Raelza**
I did, but...
**[00:55] Saitou**
It's open.
**[00:57] Morlock**
Saitou, you're amazing!
**[00:59] Lafanpan**
You're pretty good!
**[01:03] Saitou**
It was much easier
than opening a cylinder lock.
**[01:14] Saitou**
Another one?
**[01:16] Lafanpan**
That room's really, really secure.
**[01:21] Saitou**
Huh? That's weird.
**[01:26] Morlock**
A magical seal has been cast on it, as well.
**[01:30] Morlock**
Saitou, open it after a, "Ready, and..."
**[01:33] Saitou**
All right.
**[01:35] Morlock; Saitou**
Ready, and...
**[01:36] Morlock; Saitou**
open!
**[01:48] Lafanpan**
Oh! There's a treasure inside!
**[01:49] Morlock**
That worked well!
**[01:51] Lafanpan**
Saitou! Open the treasure chest!
**[01:54] Saitou**
Yes, of course!
***SIGN*** Saitou feels fulfilled
**[02:11] (Flashback) Saitou**
It's open.
**[02:12] (Flashback) woman**
My, that was fast!
**[02:14] (Flashback) woman**
I was in such a bind
because I'd lost my key!
**[02:16] (Flashback) Saitou**
Combined, the travel and work
fees come to 7,000 yen.
**[02:20] (Flashback) woman**
What?
**[02:21] (Flashback) woman**
When it didn't even take a minute?
**[02:23] (Flashback) woman**
Are you overcharging me?
**[02:24] (Flashback) Saitou**
No, that's the normal rate.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Saitou**
It's written in the ads, too.
**[02:28] (Flashback) woman**
Give me a discount.
**[02:30] (Flashback) woman**
Charging so much for only
thirty seconds of work...
**[02:32] (Flashback) woman**
Don't you think that's a terrible thing to do?
**[02:39] Saitou**
There! It's open!
***SIGN*** Saitou feels fulfilled
***SIGN*** More than in his previous world
**[02:50] Saitou**
It's a mimic?!
**[03:08] Raelza**
Are you all right, Saitou?
**[03:10] Saitou**
Thank you, Raelza.

***SIGN*** Armored Warrior
Raelza
**[03:22] Saitou**
Raelza, your helmet is a little loose.
**[03:24] Raelza**
What?
**[03:25] Saitou**
We should fix it.
**[03:26] Saitou**
It would be dangerous if
it slipped while you were fighting.
**[03:31] Raelza**
Must I take it off?
**[03:32] Saitou**
Oh. Yes, you do.
**[03:46] Raelza**
Please make it quick.
**[03:48] Saitou**
It will only take a moment.
**[03:57] Raelza**
You really can do anything.
**[03:59] Saitou**
Well, I am a handyman.
**[04:02] Raelza**
A handyman? Not a locksmith?
**[04:05] Saitou**
That's right. I don't just open locks...
**[04:08] Saitou**
I fix bags, collect trash,
look for lost dogs...
**[04:13] Raelza**
Dogs?
**[04:14] Raelza**
Do you like dogs, too?
**[04:16] Saitou**
Well, yes, there's that,
**[04:18] Saitou**
but it's because my client was at a loss.
**[04:20] Saitou**
Shibamaru had disappeared.
**[04:22] Raelza**
Shibamaru? What a strange name.
**[04:31] Raelza**
But you really are amazing.

Morlock
**[04:58] Saitou**
Is Morlock-san supposed
to be a really great wizard?
**[05:02] Lafanpan**
Well, he is over level 80.
**[05:05] Lafanpan**
There's a huge difference
in levels in our party.
**[05:10] Saitou**
I see.
**[05:12] Raelza**
The old geezer retired once already.
**[05:15] Raelza**
His level is high,
but he's extremely forgetful,
**[05:17] Raelza**
so he often can't remember his incantations.
**[05:19] Lafanpan**
There was one time when he even forgot
where we were supposed to regroup.
**[05:21] Raelza**
That was truly horrible.
**[05:24] Raelza**
We kept waiting and waiting,
but he didn't show up,
**[05:25] Raelza**
so we went into the dungeon ahead of him.
**[05:28] Raelza**
Apparently, the geezer used teleportation
magic to catch up to us later, but...
**[05:31] (Flashback) Morlock**
What?
**[05:33] (Flashback) Morlock**
Did I make some blunder
when calculating my coordinates?
**[05:43] Raelza**
He happened to fuse with a golem.
**[05:45] Saitou**
How did he manage to return to normal?
**[05:53] Raelza**
He came to us as he was.
**[05:56] (Flashback) Morlock**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Raelza**
You're *very* late!
**[05:58] (Flashback) Morlock**
I see.
**[06:00] Lafanpan**
That other time was awful, too, wasn't it?
**[06:02] Lafanpan**
You know, that floor with all those undead.
**[06:05] Raelza**
Yes.
**[06:06] Raelza**
I was wondering where he'd gone, and then...
**[06:10] (Flashback) Morlock**
Let's see.
**[06:12] (Flashback) Morlock**
Oh!
**[06:23] (Flashback) Morlock**
I forget my incantations a lot,
so I've been kicked out of my party.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Morlock**
Can I join yours?
**[06:32] (Flashback) Lafanpan**
Did he forget about us, too?
**[06:34] (Flashback) Raelza**
Whatever.
**[06:36] (Flashback) Raelza**
Let's just pretend he never existed.
***SIGN*** Occasionally forgets which party he's with right now
**[06:39] (Flashback) Morlock**
So, do you mind, or...
**[06:46] (Flashback) Lafanpan**
This is bad!
**[06:48] (Flashback) Raelza**
Undead?
**[06:52] (Flashback) Raelza**
We'll retreat for now.
**[07:05] (Flashback) Morlock**
What good-natured fellows.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Raelza**
You belong over here, you old geezer.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Lafanpan**
Begone, undead!
***SIGN*** Occasionally forgets that he's still alive
**[07:12] (Flashback) Morlock**
Take care of yourselves!
**[07:14] Lafanpan**
But he has his good points, too!
**[07:17] Lafanpan**
You know, like with Raelza's...
**[07:18] Raelza**
Yes.
**[07:19] Saitou**
Did something happen?
**[07:21] Raelza**
A long time ago, our whole party
was wiped out, leaving just the geezer.
**[07:24] Raelza**
I died, too.
**[07:28] Raelza**
The geezer's magic power had run out,
**[07:30] Raelza**
but he dragged all of our bodies
behind him and escaped to the surface.
**[07:34] Raelza**
To bring us all back to life,
**[07:36] Raelza**
he sold all of our equipment
and went to the church for us.
**[07:42] Raelza**
Hey!
**[07:42] Raelza**
Why was my bikini armor
the only thing you didn't sell?
**[07:47] Morlock**
I forget.
**[07:48] Saitou**
That seems like something
he'd remember, though.

Thank you.

**[08:19] Lafanpan**
There! All done. That's one gold coin!
**[08:21] Morlock**
You're so greedy, even though we're allies.
**[08:24] Lafanpan**
Thanks, as always!
**[08:25] Lafanpan**
Smooch.
**[08:28] Lafanpan**
Hup!
**[08:30] Saitou**
Shall I carry that for you?
**[08:31] Saitou**
It's still heavy even if you use
your magic to make it float, right?
**[08:34] Lafanpan**
You can't! They're gold coins.
**[08:36] Saitou**
Then I'll make a bag for them.
**[08:38] Lafanpan**
You can do that?
**[08:42] Saitou**
Locksmiths and your types
into shoe and bag repair
**[08:44] Saitou**
pretty much come as a set in
home improvement centers.
**[08:47] Lafanpan**
Home improvement centers?
**[08:54] Saitou**
If I made it like I would for a human,
then there'd be no space for her wings, so...
**[09:00] Saitou**
Like this!
**[09:01] Saitou**
Okay. Try it on!
**[09:05] Lafanpan**
It's pretty good!
**[09:06] Lafanpan**
How much?
**[09:07] Saitou**
Oh, there's no need for that.
**[09:09] Lafanpan**
No, you have to make sure
to be compensated for your labor.
**[09:12] Saitou**
Then...
**[09:13] Saitou**
Morlock-san is always
helping me with his magic,
**[09:16] Saitou**
so please make his back better!
**[09:18] Morlock**
What? Are you sure?
**[09:21] Lafanpan**
I really don't like that sort of thing.
**[09:24] Morlock**
If you would.
**[09:27] Lafanpan**
Pain relief and improved blood circulation!
**[09:31] Morlock**
It's working even better than usual!
**[09:36] Saitou**
* Since that day, she's spent*
* more time caring for his back.*
***SIGN*** The Origins
of Units
in Another World
**[09:44] Saitou**
Let's see. It's fifteen centimeters long...
**[09:48] Saitou**
and five millimeters wide, so...
**[09:51] Raelza**
Centimeters? Millimeters?
**[09:54] Saitou**
They're units of length in my world.
**[09:57] Saitou**
What do you use over here again?
**[09:59] Lafanpan**
Maderaka.
**[10:00] Raelza**
Lafanpan is about one maderaka in length.
**[10:03] Saitou**
About thirty centimeters, then.
**[10:06] Saitou**
I wonder what it was based on.
**[10:09] Morlock**
I shall answer that!
**[10:11] Saitou**
Morlock-san?
**[10:13] Morlock**
Long, long ago, and even
longer ago than that...
**[10:16] Morlock**
Maderaka I, founder
of this kingdom, was indeed...
**[10:21] Morlock**
a king with a very long weenie!
**[10:33] Morlock**
He made full use of that weenie
and had three hundred children!
**[10:38] Morlock**
The scholars of the time used
the great king's weenie as the basis,
**[10:42] Morlock**
and established the unit of one
maderaka based on its length!
**[10:49] Raelza**
Awful, right?
**[10:52] Saitou**
That's *long*.
**[10:57] Lafanpan**
Please don't look at me that way.

It's pretty much the demon realm.
**[12:25] Guivre**
From here on, attack magic
won't be as effective.
**[12:28] Guivre**
We'll cast strengthening magic
on our weapons and end up brawling.
**[12:32] Liliza**
I know.
**[12:34] Liliza**
Well, shall we go?
**[12:38] Liliza**
Stand back. It's dangerous.
**[12:45] Guivre**
Maybe we should head back after all.
**[12:46] Liliza**
No. We're going.

Maevena
**[13:05] Saitou**
Yes. I learned how when I was a child.
**[13:07] Saitou**
And this world uses
a base-ten system, too, so...
**[13:10] Maevena**
That's because humans have ten fingers.
**[13:17] Maevena**
Oh. Welcome!
**[13:34] Maevena**
Are you looking for anything in particular?
**[13:41] armored warrior (Raelza)**
Medicinal herbs.
**[13:42] Maevna**
Please have a look.
**[13:47] Saitou**
I didn't know you had
armor like that, Raelza.
**[13:53] armored warrior (Raelza)**
You're mistaking me
for someone else, Mister Saitou.
**[13:55] Saitou**
You just called me Saitou, didn't you?
**[13:57] armored warrior (Raelza)**
E-Excuse me!
**[14:07] Lafanpan**
Honestly...
**[14:08] Lafanpan**
If you were curious,
you should've just gone with him.
**[14:16] Lafanpan; internal**
*Saitou could tell who was inside that armor...*
**[14:18] Lafanpan; internal**
*He's pretty good.*
***SIGN*** A Few Days Later
**[14:22] Maevena**
Amazing! That was an iron sword!
**[14:26] adventurer**
This magic sword...
**[14:27] adventurer**
How much will you give me for it?
**[14:29] Maevena**
Fifteen gold coins!
**[14:30] adventurer**
Twenty coins.
**[14:31] Maevena**
E-Eighteen coins, then!
**[14:34] adventurer**
All right! Sold!
**[14:36] Maevena**
Thank you!
**[14:40] adventurer**
What a pushover!
**[14:42] adventurer**
Thanks to her, I've made a huge profit!
**[14:44] adventurer**
It's just a dull blade I found in the
dungeon that I cast attack increase magic on!
**[14:48] adventurer**
By now, it's probably gone back to normal.
**[14:51] adventurer**
That item shop girl must be
a complete amateur!
**[14:54] adventurer**
A perfect sitting duck!
**[14:57] Saitou**
The sword blade comes off, right?
**[15:00] Maevena**
I'd expect no less of you.
**[15:02] Saitou**
At first glance, it looks like a dull blade,
**[15:04] Saitou**
but the truth is that
the sword blade is a dummy.
**[15:06] Saitou**
Mithril silver?
**[15:08] Maevena**
Even at a low estimate,
it's worth 300 gold coins!
**[15:10] Maevna**
What a good purchase!

**[15:27] Morlock**
What magics I possess,
become a wall of enduring strength...
**[15:31] Morlock**
Become a wall...
**[15:32] Morlock**
Wait, was it a wall?
**[15:35] Saitou**
You forgot your incantation again?!
**[15:35] Morlock**
A fence? A stone wall?
**[15:37] Morlock**
A cornerstone...
**[15:38] Morlock**
No, it wasn't a cornerstone.
**[15:41] Morlock**
Um...
**[15:47] Raelza**
Are you all right, Saitou?
**[15:49] Lafanpan; internal**
*Ooh, she's worried about Saitou!*
**[15:52] Saitou**
Sorry.
**[15:53] Raelza**
Hey, geezer...
**[15:54] Raelza**
Lately you've been particularly
bad about forgetting things.
**[15:56] Raelza**
Maybe you *should* retire.
**[15:58] Morlock**
Without me, you'd have
a rough time, wouldn't you?
**[16:00] Morlock**
After all, Lafa can only use defense magic.
**[16:02] Lafanpan**
How rude! That's not all I can do!
**[16:04] Morlock; background**
Lafa, you have the very
important role of healing my back.
**[16:05] Saitou; internal**
*I'm just a burden to them.*
**[16:08] Lafanpan; background**
What?! I don't do that for free, you know?
**[16:10] Morlock; background**
I know that.
**[16:11] Saitou; internal**
* I may have come from a world*
* with a more advanced civilization,*
**[16:12] Lafanpan; background**
You need to try harder!
**[16:14] Saitou; internal**
* but opening locks and making repairs*
* is just about all I can do.*
**[16:14] Morlock; background**
I do try, but...
**[16:17] Saitou; internal**
* Am I valuable enough*
* to ask everyone to protect me?*
**[16:18] Lafanpan; background**
Well, it doesn't show!
Are you really trying?
**[16:21] Morlock; background**
I've told you... Wait, what was it again?
**[16:24] Saitou**
Morlock-san!
**[16:25] Saitou**
Please teach me magic!
**[16:39] Raelza**
There's no end to them.
**[16:41] Saitou**
They go all the way back.
**[16:46] Morlock**
Could we have taken the wrong path?
**[17:07] Morlock**
Raelza, stand back!
**[17:09] Morlock**
I'll scythe them down with flames.
**[17:11] Morlock**
A Fiery Heat Blast!
**[17:15] Morlock**
Scorching heat...
**[17:19] Morlock**
gather now!
**[17:25] Morlock**
Cage ablaze, fill now with spirit and will!
**[17:31] Morlock**
Um...
**[17:33] Morlock**
What was it again?
**[17:35] Morlock**
After "fill now with spirit and will" is...
**[17:42] Raelza**
I knew it would turn out this way.
**[17:44] Saitou**
Morlock-san!
**[17:45] Saitou**
It's "prisoner of flames,
I release your binding chains"!
**[17:49] Morlock**
Oh, that's right!
**[17:52] Morlock**
Prisoner of flames!
**[17:55] Morlock**
I release your binding chains!
**[18:10] Morlock**
Nice work, Saitou!
**[18:18] Morlock**
My back!
**[18:19] Lafanpan**
Right! That'll be one gold coin!
**[18:23] Morlock**
Put it on my tab.
**[18:24] Lafanpan**
Again?!
**[18:25] Lafanpan**
Well, I guess I have no choice.
**[18:26] Raelza**
The geezer's incantations...
**[18:28] Raelza**
You memorized them all?
**[18:30] Saitou**
Yes. Well, not all of them.
**[18:32] Saitou**
I don't have any magic power,
so I can't do magic.
**[18:35] Saitou**
I thought that if I could
at least memorize the incantations...
**[18:38] Raelza**
And it helps out the old geezer, too.
**[18:39] Saitou**
I'm good at memorization.
**[18:41] Saitou**
It's because I did it back at the center.
**[18:43] Raelza**
The center?
**[18:45] Morlock**
Oh, that's really working!
**[18:49] Morlock**
That's the spot!

**[20:30] Saitou; internal**
*No one can use magic in this area.*
**[20:32] Saitou; internal**
*Morlock-san's incantations won't work,*
**[20:35] Saitou; internal**
* and since Lafa uses magic to fly,*
* she won't be able to reach me.*
**[20:38] Saitou; internal**
*We don't have a rope long enough to reach me either.*
**[20:43] Saitou; internal**
* All I am is a hired hand whose*
* lock-picking skills they valued.*

*In the end, this world's just like my old one.*

If you don't like it, then quit!
**[20:55] (Flashback) company president**
There are plenty of people
to take your place.
**[20:57] (Flashback) company president**
Oh, hello! Thank you for your business!
**[21:02] Saitou; internal**
*Is it really, though?*
**[21:15] Saitou**
No!
**[21:17] Saitou**
I...
**[21:18] Raelza**
He's here!
**[21:23] Raelza**
Saitou!
**[21:26] Saitou**
Everyone...
**[21:27] Raelza**
We followed the waterway.
**[21:29] Raelza**
Since we can't use magic,
**[21:30] Raelza**
both the old geezer and
Lafanpan only slowed me down!
**[21:33] Lafanpan**
That's mean!
**[21:35] Morlock**
This shining tube that Saitou
gave me was very useful.
**[21:41] Raelza**
Are you all right, Saitou?
**[21:42] Saitou**
Yeah. Other than the broken bits.
**[21:50] Saitou**
If I'm honest, I didn't think you'd come.
**[21:53] Lafanpan**
You moron.
**[21:54] Morlock**
You know we'd never abandon you, right?
**[21:58] Raelza**
After all, no one could
ever take your place, Saitou.
**[22:03] Saitou**
Thank you.
**[22:04] Raelza**
Let's go.
**[22:06] Lafanpan**
Grandpa, she said we're heading back.
**[22:08] Morlock**
Oh. Yes, yes.

*That world I had always envisioned*
***SIGN*** Saitou feels fulfilled
**[22:15] OP**
*Could I have found it?*
**[22:27] OP**
*I lived my days at someone
else's convenience*
**[22:32] OP**
*Gaining nothing but compromises and regrets*
**[22:37] OP**
*Because I always felt that*
**[22:39] OP**
*Even if it wasn't me standing here*
**[22:43] OP**
*The world would still keep moving forward*
**[22:47] OP**
*Even after I lost it*
**[22:50] OP**
*And its colors faded*
**[22:53] OP**
*The dream from that hazily remembered day*
**[22:57] OP**
*Still remained*
**[22:59] OP**
*The thing that only I can do*
**[23:01] OP**
*And the scenery that I left behind*
**[23:04] OP**
*I was just looking for an answer
from some other time*
**[23:13] OP**
*Those things that don't change*
**[23:18] OP**
*And those words I protected so carefully*
**[23:23] OP**
*Even if they're all just
unattractive junk to others*
**[23:28] OP**
*They're all treasures
that I will never give up*
