[00:10] (Flashback) Allen
    Lloyd, I'm kicking you out of this party.
[00:16] (Flashback) Allen
    Listen, Lloyd.
[00:18] (Flashback) Allen
    You're always just bungling
     around in the back, you know?
[00:21] (Flashback) Allen
    You're supposed to be a white mage,
    yet you leave all the healing to Sheena.
[00:25] (Flashback) Allen
    You're useless. Not to mention an eyesore.
[00:29] (Flashback) Lloyd
    Are you saying I'm lacking in power?
[00:33] (Flashback) Lloyd
    That's true...
[00:34] (Flashback) Lloyd
    Maybe I am.
[00:37] (Flashback) Allen
    So you're aware, hmm?
[00:39] (Flashback) Allen
    Well, then you must get it.
[00:42] (Flashback) Allen
    Hurry up and get lost, Lloyd.
[00:48] (Flashback) Sheena
    We're finally rid of that nuisance!
[00:51] (Flashback) Miiya
    No jumping ahead of us!
[00:52] (Flashback) Lulu
    You're the best, Allen!
[00:55] (Flashback) Allen
    Aren't I?
[01:01] Lloyd
    They even have a statue of Master here too.
[01:04] Lloyd
    She really is incredible.
[01:10] (Flashback) Merlin
    You're still inexperienced.
[01:14] Lloyd
    It seems I still am, even now, Master...
SIGN    Episode 2
SIGN    Lloyd Is Recruited.
[02:58] Bandit
    He was terrified!
[02:59] Daggas
    They're our current quest target.
[03:02] Daggas
    The bandit group called Dirt Clods.
[03:03] Cross
    Well, we should manage
    if we stick to the plan.
[03:06] Silica
    This is still an A-rank quest.
[03:08] Silica
    Let's stay on our guard.
[03:10] Yui
    We'll be fine!
[03:11] Yui
    We can do this.
[03:17] Silica
    Fireball!
[03:25] Bandit
    Get her between chants!
[03:27] Bandit
    She's wide open!
[03:29] Bandit
    Now!
[03:34] Cross
    I never miss my mark!
[03:48] Daggas
    Too weak.
[03:51] Klum
    Physical Enhancement!
[03:53] Bandit
    I'll show you weak!
[04:07] Boss
    H-How can they be so strong?
[04:10] Boss
    I-I need to run.
[04:11] Yui
    You're the boss, right?
[04:14] Yui
    Surrender and come along quietly.
[04:16] Boss
    Who are you people?!
[04:20] Boss
    That plate means...!
[04:22] Yui
    Yup, we're S-rank adventurers.
[04:28] Boss
    You might be S-rank adventurers,
[04:31] Boss
    but can you defeat this?!
[04:39] Daggas
    Everyone, get back!
[04:43] Klum
    A golem.
[04:44] Daggas
    It's rather large.
[04:46] Silica
    On top of that, its stone body
[04:48] Silica
    makes magic less effective against it.
[04:51] Cross
    Same for bows and arrows.
[04:55] Boss
    Get 'em, golem!
[04:58] Yui
    Just leave this to me!
[05:13] Klum
    Yui!
[05:14] Yui
    Klum! I need some enhancement magic!
[05:19] Yui
    Klum!
[05:22] Klum
    Physical Enhancement!
[05:42] Klum
    I'm sorry.
[05:43] Klum
    Losing your focus in battle is the
    worst mistake an adventurer can make.
[05:47] Yui
    Don't worry about it.
[05:49] Yui
    We all know you have a lot going on right now.
[05:53] Yui
    Your little sister...
[05:54] Yui
    How is Silvie doing?
[05:57] Klum
    About that...
[06:01] Adventurer
    You want to join our party?
[06:04] Adventurer
    Sorry, but we've already got a white mage.
[06:07] Lloyd
    I see.
[06:11] Lloyd
    This makes three days in
    a row without any luck.
[06:13] Yui
    But please!
[06:15] Yui
    You have to do something!
[06:17] Yui
    I'm begging you!
[06:18] Yui
    We really need a free white mage!
[06:21] Yui
    And by tomorrow!
[06:22] Receptionist
    I hear you, but...
[06:25] Receptionist
    Given what you're asking, it's just...
[06:27] Yui
    Too difficult?
[06:29] Receptionist
    Quite so.
[06:30] Yui
    Don't say that!
[06:32] Yui
    Isn't there somebody?!
[06:33] Yui
    Any free white mage?!
[06:35] Yui
    Please? Come on!
[06:39] Receptionist
    Erm, that man there is actually...
[06:42] Yui
    Huh?
[06:45] Lloyd
    Huh?
[06:47] Yui
    Are you a white mage?!
[06:49] Lloyd
    Y-Yeah.
[06:50] Yui
    Who are you with?!
[06:52] Lloyd
    I-I'm free right now...
[06:54] Lloyd
    Unemployed, actually.
[06:56] Yui
    Come with me for a bit!
[06:58] Lloyd
    Huh?!
[06:59] Lloyd
    What?! Wh-Whoa!
[07:03] Yui
    I'm back!
[07:04] Silica
    That was fast, Yui.
[07:06] Cross
    There weren't any free white mages, right?
[07:08] Yui
    I found one!
[07:10] Daggas
    Of course you wouldn't find—
[07:13] Daggas
    Huh?
[07:14] Yui
    Let me introduce you, uh...
[07:18] Lloyd
    It's Lloyd.
[07:19] Yui
    Got it.
[07:20] Yui
    And here we have...
[07:21] Yui
    Daggas, our shield-bearer.
[07:23] Yui
    Cross, our archer.
[07:24] Yui
    Silica, our mage.
[07:26] Yui
    Lastly...
[07:28] Yui
    I'm Yui, our swordsman and leader!
[07:31] Yui
    Welcome to our party, Lloyd.
[07:33] Lloyd
    Wait, I haven't said anything
    about joining up with you yet.
[07:37] Yui
    Huh?
[07:38] Silica
    I figured it would be something like this.
[07:40] Daggas
    I bet you dragged him here
    without a proper explanation.
[07:44] Yui
    Urgh...
[07:45] Cross
    Let's turn down the quest after all.
[07:47] Cross
    It's impossible for us without Klum.
[07:50] Daggas
    I agree.
[07:51] Daggas
    I doubt this man could replace her.
[07:55] Silica
    Yui...
[07:56] Silica
    I know how you feel,
     but let's abandon this quest.
[08:02] Yui
    But...
[08:03] Yui
    What happens to our client if we do that?
[08:06] Yui
    Someone's asking us for help.
[08:11] Lloyd
    Can't you let another party take the quest?
[08:14] Silica
    Actually...
[08:15] Silica
    we can't.
[08:17] Silica
    It's an A-rank quest,
[08:19] Silica
    so only parties of A-rank
    or higher can accept it.
[08:24] Daggas
    All the other A-rank and higher
     parties are out on jobs right now.
[08:29] Daggas
    Since we're S-rank,
    we're the only ones who can do it.
[08:33] Lloyd
    S?! That's the highest rank
    adventurers can be!
[08:37] Cross
    Adventurers can only work
    with their registered comrades,
[08:41] Cross
    so we can't just borrow
    someone from another party.
[08:45] Lloyd
    I'd love to help them out, but...
[08:48] (Flashback) Allen
    You're useless. Not to mention an eyesore.
[08:53] Yui
    But all that really means...
[08:55] Yui
    is we're set so long as Lloyd's
     an incredible white mage, yeah?
[08:59] Lloyd
    Huh?
[09:17] Lloyd
    How did it come to this?
[09:19] Yui
    Come on, Lloyd.
[09:21] Yui
    Show us what you can do with support magic.
[09:24] Lloyd
    They have high hopes for me.
[09:26] Lloyd
    I feel sorry for them.
[09:29] Lloyd
    I'm just going to disappoint them.
[09:32] Daggas
    You're putting him on the spot,
    asking him to show his stuff like that.
[09:36] Daggas
    Why don't you at least
    tell him which spell to use?
[09:39] Yui
    You have a point.
[09:41] Yui
    For starters, cast enhancement
    magic on all of us.
[09:46] Lloyd
    Huh?
[09:46] Cross
    Hey, that's impossible for most white mages.
[09:50] Silica
    I really think we should call this off.
[09:55] Lloyd
    Um, just so I understand...
[09:57] Lloyd
    You're saying my test for joining your S-rank
    party is casting enhancement on everyone?
[10:03] Yui
    That's right.
[10:04] Yui
    Oh, but I do mean everyone at once.
[10:07] Yui
    Casting on us one at a time won't count.
[10:10] Lloyd
    What's going on here?
[10:13] Lloyd
    What are they looking for in me?
[10:15] Yui
    Does this mean you can't?
[10:17] Lloyd
    No, that's not the problem.
[10:19] Daggas
    No need to put up a front.
[10:22] Daggas
    Don't get Yui's hopes up any higher.
[10:24] Cross
    Yeah. If you can't do it, just say so.
[10:27] Silica
    I feel the same way.
[10:31] Lloyd
    No, allow me.
[10:39] Yui
    A staff?
[10:40] Yui
    From where?
[10:56] Yui
    H-Hey, Lloyd, where did that staff come from?
[11:00] Lloyd
    I just used storage magic.
[11:02] Silica
    Storage magic?
[11:05] Lloyd
    So, how is my enhancement magic?
[11:08] Yui
    Huh? You already cast it?
[11:11] Daggas
    When did you...?
[11:12] Daggas
    And without an incantation?
[11:15] Cross
    My body does feel lighter, though.
[11:21] Yui
    Hold on a second.
[11:40] Yui
    No way...
[11:42] Lloyd
    I tried casting five spells:
    Physical Enhancement, Defense Boost,
[11:46] Lloyd
    Magic Power Boost, Mana Consumption
    Reduction, and Status Ailment Resistance.
[11:55] Yui
    You cast five enhancement spells...
[11:57] Yui
    on all of us?
[11:58] Lloyd
    Y-Yeah.
[12:00] Lloyd
    Casting just one seemed far too simple to me,
[12:06] Lloyd
    so I thought you were
    expecting something more.
[12:12] Lloyd
    Guess I was wrong...
[12:17] Lloyd
    I'm sorry for such a poor showing.
[12:19] Lloyd
    I can see I wouldn't cut it
    as your party's white mage.
[12:23] Lloyd
    I'll be on my way.
[12:25] All
    What? Wait!
[12:27] Yui
    Hold it right there!
[12:30] Lloyd
    Huh?
[12:31] All
    Th-The hero's party?!
[12:36] Yui
    You mean the group led by one
    of only four heroes in this world?
[12:40] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[12:42] Lloyd
    Though they fired me for lacking power.
[12:45] Cross
    They called that lacking power?
[12:47] Silica
    I've never seen anyone cast so
    much enhancement magic before.
[12:52] Lloyd
    No, I'm sure there're plenty of more
    talented white mages out there.
[12:56] Cross
    What's up with your standards?
[12:59] Lloyd
    More importantly, you had a white mage
     in the party to begin with, right?
[13:04] Lloyd
    It'd be better to get them back
    than have me join.
[13:10] Yui
    Actually...
[13:12] Yui
    Our former white mage, Klum,
    has a little sister who's ill.
[13:18] Yui
    She was caring for her every
    day while still adventuring.
[13:23] Yui
    That exhaustion finally wore her down.
[13:28] Yui
    Lately, she's looked especially ragged.
[13:31] Silica
    And on a quest the other day,
    she blanked out.
[13:35] Silica
    So she asked to leave the party herself.
[13:39] Cross
    She said she doesn't want
    to be any more of a burden.
[13:43] Lloyd
    Which is why you're searching
    for a replacement white mage.
[13:47] Daggas
    It wouldn't be a problem on most quests,
[13:50] Daggas
    but taking A-rank jobs without
    a white mage is challenging.
[13:54] Yui
    I hope Klum's okay.
[13:57] Cross
    I'm worried about her.
[13:58] Silica
    Yeah.
[14:01] Lloyd
    She's important to you all, isn't she?
[14:04] Yui
    Of course she is!
[14:05] Yui
    Even if she's left our party,
    Klum's still our friend!
[14:11] Lloyd
    I'm jealous.
[14:12] Yui
    Huh?
[14:14] Lloyd
    Oh, it's nothing.
[14:16] Lloyd
    More importantly, may I ask
    about her little sister's illness?
[14:20] Yui
    Uh, I don't know too much about it,
[14:24] Yui
    but apparently it turns the body to magistone.
[14:29] Lloyd
    The body turns to magistone?
[14:31] (Flashback) Lloyd
    A magistone?
[14:32] (Flashback) Merlin
    It's a crystallization of mana.
[14:34] (Flashback) Merlin
    Its power tends to turn things
    around it into magistone as well.
[14:40] (Flashback) Lloyd
    Is it possible to restore them?
[14:45] Lloyd
    Yui.
[14:47] Lloyd
    Could you show me to Klum's place?
[14:54] Yui
    It's this house.
[15:00] Klum
    If it isn't Yui!
[15:05] Lloyd
    I'm sorry to be so direct,
[15:07] Lloyd
    but could you tell me
    about your sister's condition?
[15:13] Klum
    I used to adventure together
    with my little sister, Silvie,
[15:18] Klum
    but she was injured while we were on a quest.
[15:23] Yui
    By a monster?
[15:25] Klum
    I'm not actually sure.
[15:27] Klum
    By the time I reached her,
    she was already unconscious.
[15:32] Lloyd
    What are her symptoms?
[15:34] Klum
    It'll be faster for you to see her.
[15:48] Lloyd
    This unpleasant mana...
[15:56] Klum
    This is the state Silvie's in.
[16:01] Klum
    She's turning to magistone.
[16:03] Klum
    Her mana's gone berserk,
[16:05] Klum
    and her body's transforming bit by bit.
[16:08] Klum
    It's only a matter of time
    before she's entirely magistone.
[16:12] Yui
    Klum...
[16:16] Lloyd
    Would you let me step in?
[16:18] Klum
    Huh?
[16:20] Lloyd
    If my hypothesis is correct,
[16:22] Lloyd
    I might be able to cure Silvie.
[16:25] Klum
    C-Cure her?!
[16:26] Klum
    Even the advanced healing magic users
    who've seen her said that was impossible!
[16:30] Klum
    What can an ordinary white
    mage do at this point?
[16:34] Lloyd
    I think this is likely the result of being
    pierced with high-purity magistone.
[16:39] Lloyd
    Was Silvie injured in a cave with
    high mana density or something like that?
[16:44] Klum
    I-It was exactly that.
[16:46] Klum
    She was injured on a quest
     to extract magistone from a cave.
[16:51] Lloyd
    Where was the wound?
[16:55] Lloyd
    I knew it.
[16:57] Lloyd
    The mana entered through there,
[16:59] Lloyd
    then moved through her body,
    and that's what's turning her to magistone.
[17:02] Klum
    H-How could you know something like that?
[17:05] Lloyd
    My master taught me.
[17:07] Klum
    Your master?
[17:09] Yui
    Klum, could you trust in Lloyd?
[17:19] Lloyd
    Let's begin.
[17:31] Yui
    Lloyd!
[17:32] Klum
    Wh-What was that just now?
[17:34] Lloyd
    I cast an inverted Mana Transfer spell
[17:37] Lloyd
    to absorb the mana from Silvie.
[17:40] Klum
    Inverted?
[17:41] Klum
    You mean you reconfigured a spell?!
[17:44] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[17:45] Lloyd
    The magistone transformation
[17:47] Lloyd
    was progressing because
    of the berserk mana inside her.
[17:49] Lloyd
    So I needed to reduce her mana
    to as close to nothing as possible.
[17:54] Lloyd
    Unless we got that mana out,
[17:56] Lloyd
    any healing would be pointless.
[17:59] Lloyd
    Now I'll start healing her
    while keeping that up.
[18:03] Lloyd
    Heal.
[18:08] Klum
    Lloyd, what kind of Heal is this?
[18:10] Klum
    It's not like your typical Heal spell.
[18:13] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[18:14] Lloyd
    It's a defective version with incredibly
    poor mana consumption efficiency.
[18:19] Lloyd
    It's allowing me to burn
    a lot of the mana I've absorbed
[18:22] Lloyd
    as I heal Silvie.
[18:28] Yui
    Hey, is that something impressive?
[18:31] Klum
    This goes well beyond impressive.
[18:34] Klum
    He's using self-made spells
[18:35] Klum
    and casting two types at once.
[18:39] Klum
    And more than that,
[18:41] Klum
    he's demonstrating stamina and willpower
    to withstand the use of so much mana.
[18:48] Klum
    No ordinary person could pull this off.
[18:52] Yui
    Look!
[18:53] Yui
    The limbs that were turning to magistone!
[18:57] Yui
    Just a little more!
[18:59] Klum
    Silvie!
[19:07] Yui
    You're amazing, Lloyd!
[19:09] Yui
    You really cured her!
[19:15] Sylvie
    Big Sis...?
[19:20] Klum
    Silvie!
[19:33] Klum
    Thank you so much.
[19:35] Klum
    Once Silvie's fully recovered,
[19:37] Klum
    I'm going to adventure with her again.
[19:40] Yui
    Yeah, that makes sense.
[19:43] Yui
    You should.
[19:44] Klum
    Our next meal's on me.
[19:47] Yui
    Take care!
[19:49] Klum
    Oh, Lloyd.
[19:52] Klum
    I'm leaving the party in your hands
     with peace of mind.
[19:55] Klum
    Please take care of them.
[19:57] Lloyd
    I'm not an official party member.
[20:01] Lloyd
    I'm still lacking in power.
[20:05] Klum
    I don't really follow,
[20:07] Klum
    but what does your heart say?
[20:12] Cross
    So Silvie's illness was cured?
[20:15] Silica
    I'm so glad.
[20:17] Daggas
    Great job, Lloyd!
[20:19] Lloyd
    I didn't do much.
[20:21] Yui
    There you go again, being modest!
[20:23] Lloyd
    No, I mean it.
[20:25] Yui
    You're still at it!
[20:27] Lloyd
    I couldn't be happier that Silvie's better,
[20:32] Lloyd
    but it's unfortunate that Klum
    won't be returning to the party.
[20:35] Silica
    True, we'll have to think about our future.
[20:39] Cross
    The happiness wins out for me.
[20:41] Daggas
    Our friend has a new lease on life.
[20:43] Daggas
    No reason not to celebrate that.
[20:46] Yui
    Thank you so much for saving Silvie, Lloyd.
[20:54] Daggas
    What would you want to be if you were reborn?
[20:56] Silica
    I'd want to be a wife.
[20:58] Yui
    Me too!
[20:59] Cross
    So girly.
[21:00] Yui
    But I really want to aim for
    becoming a hero with you guys.
[21:04] Lloyd
    Um...
[21:07] Lloyd
    W-Would you please let me join your party?!
[21:15] Lloyd
    W-Well, assuming you're okay with having me.
[21:18] Yui
    Really?!
[21:21] Daggas
    I thought you were against the idea!
[21:23] Cross
    In that case, we're happy to have you!
[21:25] Silica
    It will be most reassuring
     to have you with us!
[21:32] Yui
    Thanks for joining up, Lloyd.
[21:34] Lloyd
    Yeah, likewise.
[21:38] Lloyd
    Thanks for having me!
[21:40] Yui
    Now it's time to have a welcome bash!
[21:43] Lloyd
    No, that's not necessary.
[21:45] Yui
    Stop right there!
[21:47] Yui
    A celebration is an absolute necessity!
[21:49] Lloyd
