[00:01] Ruckner
    Seven airships,
[00:03] Ruckner
    as well as the shipyard
    that serves as a base for them,
[00:06] Ruckner
    and the two extra-large
    magic stones used to power it.
[00:10] Ruckner
    A dragon golem,
[00:11] Ruckner
    cavalry golems,
[00:13] Ruckner
    soldier golems,
[00:15] Ruckner
    and the mythril and metals composing them.
[00:19] Ruckner
    A new artificial intelligence,
[00:21] Ruckner
    magic collection panels,
[00:23] Ruckner
    and Count Ichelberg's research documents...
[00:26] Ruckner
    All of the above shall be
    purchased by the crown,
[00:29] Ruckner
    while the magic-absorbing
    forced-teleportation magic circle
[00:32] ---
    will be purchased by the magic guild.
[00:34] Ruckner
    Since this was a mandatory quest from
    the king, the reward is increased,
[00:37] Ruckner
    as is the reward from the adventurers' guild.
[00:40] Ruckner
    As a result, the reward for each person is...
[00:45] Ruckner
    Ahem!
[00:47] King
    How much is it, Lord Commissioner Ruckner?
[00:50] Ruckner
    Two million gold coins!
[00:53] Well
    Two million?
[00:56] Well
    So... per person...
[00:58] Well
    That's a lot!
[00:59] Ruckner
    The reward will be paid in
    installments over 20 years,
[01:02] Ruckner
    and the kingdom shall administer
    all of those payments.
[01:08] Armstrong
    What? You're leaving the capital?
[01:11] Well
    I've given it a lot of thought,
[01:14] Well
    and I've decided to base our
    adventures out of Breichburg.
[01:18] Armstrong
    I see. It'll be lonely here without you.
[01:24] Armstrong
    But that, too, is part of life!
[01:26] Armstrong
    In that case,
[01:27] ---
    I shall pour all my energy
    into uncovering the culprit
[01:31] ---
    spreading false claims of death so you may
    travel without worry, Baron Baumeister!
[01:39] Well
    False claims of death? Whose death?
[01:43] Armstrong
    Yours, Baron Baumeister!
[01:46] Well
    People thought I was dead?
[01:50] Armstrong
    Yes. The people were fainting
    when they saw you return alive!
[01:56] Well
    How did such rumors start?
[01:58] Armstrong
    The successful will incur jealousy
    and envy without knowing it,
[02:01] Armstrong
    and find themselves despised
    by people they don't know.
[02:05] Er
    Yeah, all of us are still facing some
    harassment just for sticking with Well.
[02:11] Louise
    On top of that, we're getting
    two million gold now.
[02:14] Louise
    We'll never be able to
    shake off all that envy.
[02:18] Iina
    Speaking of that,
SIGN    Adventurer's Manual
[02:19] ---
    the adventurers' guild has a system for formally
     disputing the division of a reward, right?
[02:24] Iina
    Shouldn't we just use that?
[02:28] Armstrong
    But that system is typically
    used when a party member's
[02:31] ---
    division of the reward is too small, isn't it?
SIGN    Adventurer's Manual
[02:34] Iina
    You can use it when you have other
    disputes regarding the division, too.
[02:39] Iina
    So if we object and say our share
    for this quest is too great...
[02:43] Louise
    That's right!
[02:45] Louise
    Then we won't have to deal with that
    harassingly large sum of money!
[02:51] Er
    We're already receiving
    plenty from Well as it is.
[02:55] Armstrong
    But where would the money
    you free up be redistributed?
[03:03] Well
    What?!
[03:04] Well
    Wait, wait! I don't want that much, either!
[03:07] Iina
    By the way, what are you going to do, Elise?
[03:11] Elise
    All of my assets belong to Wendelin.
[03:17] Louise
    So congratulations on receiving
    ten million gold coins!
[03:22] Well
    They keep piling on reasons to hate me...
[03:24] Well
    I'm not a bowl of ramen!

[04:57] Behrens
    Tsk! I can't believe that brat survived.
[05:01] Dran
    Are you not frustrated, Sir Ruckner?
[05:04] Dran
    Wasn't this your chance to come out
    ahead of the Lord Commissioner?
[05:08] Rukner2
    Well, it worked out fine.
[05:10] Rukner2
    After all, many who don't think
    fondly of Baron Baumeister
[05:14] ---
    and those flocking to him have
    now come together right here.
[05:20] Behrens
    Was that your real goal from the beginning?
[05:24] Dran
    True, with this many brought together,
[05:27] ---
    making an annoyance disappear
    would be a simple matter.
[05:55] Well
    Hey, so I was thinking of having
    someone watch over this mansion
[06:01] ---
    after we move to Breichburg.
[06:04] Er
    Yeah, you're currently despised enough
    that someone would proclaim you dead,
[06:10] Er
    so we wouldn't want anyone
    trying anything bad.
[06:12] Iina
    Then we would need someone who's strong,
[06:15] Iina
    capable of maintaining a mansion,
[06:17] Iina
    and loyal to Well.
[06:20] Louise
    You'll never find someone
    who fits the bill that perfectly...
[06:25] Iina
    The strong man who won the spearmanship
    division of the martial arts tournament!
[06:30] Er
    He grew up in a merchant family,
[06:32] Er
    so financial affairs are
    a piece of cake for him.
[06:34] Louise
    And even though Well's been ignoring
    him these past three years...
[06:38] Elise
    He is not deterred from
    making his heartfelt appeal.
[06:41] Four
    Roderich!
[06:44] Well
    Oh...
[06:46] Well
    What?!
[06:51] Well
    Um, I really feel bad asking
    you after all this time...
[06:56] Well
    But if you're still interested
    in working for me...
[07:05] Roderich
    I'm so happy!
[07:07] Well
    R-Really?
[07:09] Louise
    Are we sure we want this guy?
[07:12] Iina
    Well, better him than some weirdo.
[07:16] Iina
    Though he's questionable in his own way...
[07:18] Roderich
    You'll be leaving me in charge
    of your mansion in the capital!
[07:21] Roderich
    Leaving me!
[07:25] Roderich
    To think you'd have such faith in me!
[07:42] Louise
    Someone's there!
[07:44] Er
    Get down!
[07:48] Louise
    I know there was someone there.
[07:51] Roderich
    It may be the one spreading
    word of Sir Baumeister's...
[07:54] Roderich
    No, of my lord's death!
[08:00] Roderich
    Reprehensible fiend!
[08:03] Roderich
    I, Roderich, promise to discover them!
[08:08] Well
    Even the palace said they couldn't pinpoint
    where the rumors originated, though.
[08:14] Well
    Finding them on your own won't be easy.
[08:17] Roderich
    I'll be fine.
[08:20] Roderich
    More importantly, my lord,
    the capital is dangerous for you.
[08:24] Roderich
    It would be wise to leave
    the city as soon as possible.
[08:28] Well
    Actually, there's something
    I still want to do here.
[08:51] Delia
    This way, please.
[08:54] Delia
    This research lab was constructed with the
    ancient magic civilization as its motif.
[09:00] Well
    Wow.
[09:04] Beckenbauer
    It's Baron Baumeister, the man who sold
    us the magic circle from the ruins!
[09:09] Beckenbauer
    I'm the Head Researcher,
    Lucas Götz Beckenbauer.
[09:12] Beckenbauer
    Nice to meet you.
[09:14] Well
    Um, I heard you have a magic circle capable
    of summoning anything the user images?
[09:20] Beckenbauer
    Yes, this is it.
[09:23] Beckenbauer
    It's still a prototype,
[09:25] Beckenbauer
    so depending on the conditions, it may
    require a great deal of magic power,
[09:29] Beckenbauer
    but in theory, it should be able
    to summon anything to you.
[09:32] Er
    Wow, a panty thief would love this.
[09:39] Elise
    Please let us make use of it, then.
[09:42] Beckenbauer
    Sure, go ahead.
[09:47] Beckenbauer
    The most important thing
    here is your imagination.
[09:50] Beckenbauer
    Clearly visualize what you want.
[09:53] Well
    Visualize... Got it.
[09:56] Well
    Okay...
[09:58] Well
    Form a clear picture of what I want...
[10:02] Well
    Imagine it...
[10:11] Louise
    Wow! It really worked!
[10:14] Iina
    Huh? But that's...
[10:23] Well
    Panties?
[10:25] Well
    That's a punch, not panties!
[10:28] Beckenbauer
    Oh? You summoned the very
    panties she was wearing?
[10:31] Beckenbauer
    That's the Dragon Slayer for you!
[10:36] Well
    Hold on, hold on, hold on! That's not it!
[10:38] Well
    My imagination just slipped off course
[10:41] ---
    because a panty thief was mentioned!
[10:44] Well
    Hey, listen, she—
[10:45] Er
    I get it.
[10:47] Er
    You can blame me for your perversion,
[10:50] Er
    so let's just hurry up and
    get what we came here for.
[10:53] Well
    I'm not a pervert. I keep it to myself.
[10:57] Well
    Focus.
[10:59] ---
    Form a clear picture...
[11:02] Well
    Imagine it.
[11:03] ---
    Panties...
[11:04] ---
    To himself...
[11:07] Well
    Now, come to me!
[11:17] Well
    Here it comes!
[11:27] Er
    Ugh, it stinks!
[11:28] Er
    It smells like entrails.
[11:30] Louise
    Oh, Iina, there's blood on your clothes!
[11:33] Iina
    Huh?! Oh, no!
[11:38] Wilma
    It can't be!
[11:40] Well
    We'll need to bathe when we get home.
[11:53] Wilma
    I knew it.
[11:54] Wilma
    What's he up to?
[12:45] Louise
    Wow, even Duke Bleichröder is here.
[12:49] Iina
    Apparently, Well invited him,
    since we'll be in his care in Breichburg.
[12:54] Iina
    So he used his teleportation.
[12:57] Brantag
    He wants to thank those
    who have helped him, huh?
[13:01] Armstrong
    A social ploy befitting Baron Baumeister.
[13:05] Brantag
    The faces here are giving
    me a sour stomach, though.
[13:12] Armstrong
    Everyone here loves Baron Baumeister,
     for many reasons.
[13:19] Well
    Everyone!
[13:22] Well
    Recently, I used the magic guild's magic circle
[13:25] ---
    to catch these from the northern sea.
[13:27] Well
    It's tuna!
[13:33] Paul
    But how are we supposed to eat this?
[13:36] Helmut
    Huh? We don't eat it as-is?
[13:39] Well
    Um, if you'd like, use this.
[13:41] Well
    It took three years to develop,
    but I finally completed this soy sauce!
[14:00] Armstrong
    Tuna with soy sauce is delicious!
[14:07] Well
    Now, please eat up!
[14:09] Well
    We have one more to spare!
[14:21] Roderich
    The one who spread rumors of your
    death was Head Auditor Ruckner.
[14:26] Well
    Isn't Ruckner...
[14:28] Roderich
    Yes.
[14:28] Roderich
    He's Lord Commissioner
    Ruckner's younger brother.
[14:32] Well
    But I don't think I've ever met him.
[14:36] Roderich
    He was just using you, my lord.
[14:40] Roderich
    You have strong ties with his brother,
[14:43] Roderich
    so he was using you to unseat the
    Lord Commissioner from his position.
[14:47] Well
    They're not on good terms, then.
[14:49] Roderich
    He also dispatched a messenger to your home,
[14:55] ---
    in case you had actually died.
[14:59] Well
    Huh?
[15:00] Roderich
    Apparently, he was hoping to make your
    eldest brother Kurt indebted to him
[15:04] ---
    by having his sons inherit after you,
    so that he could gain more influence.
[15:11] Well
    I can't believe he got my family involved.
[15:14] Roderich
    The messenger only left a few days ago,
[15:18] Roderich
    so it will be a while longer
    before he reaches your family.
[15:24] Well
    What a bothersome sibling quarrel.
[15:27] Roderich
    But he should be quiet for a while now.
[15:32] Roderich
    I've already taken measures for you.
[15:35] Behrens
    Sir Ruckner, the town is talking about you!
[15:40] Ruckner2
    Talking about me?
[15:42] Behrens
    They say that you conspired to see
    Baron Baumeister die in the underground ruins!
[15:48] Ruckner2
    Who's spreading such lies?!
[15:52] Wife
    D-Dear, you have a
    messenger from the palace.
[15:57] Rucker2
    The palace?
[15:58] Wife
    Yes, His Majesty has summoned you.
[16:01] Ruckner2
    Tsk!
[16:04] Well
    You spread a false rumor?
[16:06] Roderich
    Yes.
[16:07] Roderich
    I figured the best way to
    fight a rumor was with rumors.
[16:10] Well
    But won't we be in trouble if they find out?
[16:14] Roderich
    We can just pretend we know nothing about it.
[16:18] Well
    It's ultimately just a rumor, huh?
[16:21] Well
    Which means they can also...
[16:23] Roderich
    Yes. He'll face some degree of investigation,
[16:27] Roderich
    but he probably won't be punished for it.
[16:29] Well
    Still, you did a good job
    learning who the culprit was.
[16:33] Roderich
    I had my suspicions from the start.
[16:36] Roderich
    That's just the kind of man
    Head Auditor Ruckner is.
[16:42] Well
    You know him?
[16:44] Roderich
    He's my father.
[16:48] Roderich
    Though he's never once
    recognized me as his son.
[16:53] Roderich
    My mother was a humble merchant's daughter,
[16:55] Roderich
    so she could never become a concubine,
    let alone his official wife.
[17:00] Well
    I see.
[17:02] Roderich
    There's nothing less trustworthy
    than blood ties, in my opinion.
[17:09] Well
    Blood ties, huh?
[17:11] Elise
    Are you all finished discussing your work?
[17:14] Well
    Oh, yeah.
[17:17] Elise
    Roderich, have some if you'd like.
[17:20] Roderich
    What's this?
[17:21] Elise
    It's the fatty tuna that Wendelin
    taught me how to prepare.
[17:26] Elise
    It's quite delicious.
[17:30] Wilma
    I can't take it anymore.
[17:59] Er
    Hold it!
[18:04] Er
    No way!
[18:14] Wilma
    It's so good.
[18:18] Edgar
    Hey, sorry I'm late.
[18:21] Edgar
    Oh, Wilma.
[18:24] ---
    Did you already introduce yourself?
[18:26] Well
    What? You know her, Lord Marshall Edgar?
[18:30] Edgar
    This is Wilma Etol von Asgahan.
[18:32] Edgar
    My daughter.
[18:34] Edgar
    I wanted to introduce her to you.
[18:36] Edgar
    What do you think of Baron Baumeister, Wilma?
[18:39] Wilma
    I've been investigating you...
[18:41] Wilma
    To see if you're someone
    who can properly feed me.
[18:59] Wilma
    You pass.
[19:00] Well
    Um, I'm glad I passed, but...
[19:03] Wilma
    Fatty tuna, fatty tuna, fatty tuna, fatty tuna!
[19:08] Elise
    You want more?
[19:10] Elise
    Please wait a moment.
[19:12] Wilma
    Fatty tuna, fatty tuna...
[19:14] ---
    Fatty tuna, fatty tuna,
    fatty tuna, fatty tuna...
[19:14] Edgar
    Sorry about this. Food is more
    important than anything to Wilma.
[19:20] Brantag
    I see. Hero syndrome, huh?
[19:24] Well
    Hero syndrome?
[19:27] Brantag
    It refers to those who constantly have
    magic running through all their muscles,
[19:31] Brantag
    enhancing their body all the time.
[19:36] Brantag
    Which means...
[19:37] Wilma
    Fatty tuna!
[19:38] ---
    Fatty...
[19:40] Wilma
    Fatty tuna!
[19:44] Brantag
    They have monstrous strength.
[19:46] Edgar
    But it also means they're burning
    magic around the clock.
[19:50] Edgar
    So they have to eat a lot
    to replenish that energy.
[19:55] Edgar
    Which means feeding them costs, well...
[19:59] Edgar
    But that shouldn't be a concern
    for you, Baron Baumeister.
[20:07] Iina
    She's a glutton, but she looks so young!
[20:11] Louise
    What do I do?
[20:12] Louise
    I think I'm feeling maternal instincts!
[20:16] Iina
    Wilma, you leave everything to us!
[20:19] Louise
    We'll fill you up with fatty tuna!
[20:23] Wilma
    Fatty tuna!
[20:27] Edgar
    So there you have it.
[20:29] Edgar
    How about taking her on as a bodyguard?
[20:32] Well
    Um, I'm...
[20:34] Edgar
    You could marry her too, if you'd like!
[20:37] Well
    Please listen to me!
[20:39] Well
    Once we return to Breichburg,
[20:41] Well
    we plan to take on hunts
    like normal adventurers.
[20:44] Well
    So I won't be needing a
    monstrously strong bodyguard.
[20:52] Edgar
    Hunts?
[20:53] Edgar
    What are you talking about?
[20:54] Edgar
    You're going to exterminate
    monsters, aren't you?
[20:57] Well
    Huh?
[20:58] Edgar
    Huh?
[20:59] Edgar
    I'm right, aren't I, Duke Bleichröder?
[21:05] Bleichröder
    Where did you hear about that?
[21:07] Edgar
    I have plenty of information sources.
[21:10] Well
    Um, what is he talking about?
[21:12] Bleichröder
    The truth is, I have a request for you.
[21:21] Amalie
    This says that Wendelin passed away
     while exploring the ancient ruins.
[21:27] Kurt
    Wendelin is dead?
[21:33] Amalie
    It also says that our children should inherit
[21:38] ---
    Baron Baumeister's title and
    estate after his passing.
