[00:00] ZENOS
    When you're from the slums,
    you can't get a license,
[00:04] ZENOS
    and it's difficult to register officially.
[00:06] ZENOS
    That being the base, I guess I'll work in
    the shadows as an underground healer.
[00:12] ZENOS
    I actually just got kicked out
    of my adventuring party.

    I wanted to work as an underground healer
    without drawing attention to myself.

    I expect appropriate compensation for my labor.

[00:15] Lily
    Good morning, Zenos.
[00:18] Lily
    Time to get up.
[00:38] Zenos
    Good morning, Lily.
[00:40] Lily
    I made some black tea.
[00:42] Zenos
    Thanks.
[00:48] Lily
    "A healer is third-rate if
    they just heal injuries,
[00:51] Lily
    second-rate if they can
    wholly heal a person,
[00:53] Lily
    and first-rate if they can
    make the world a better place."
[00:57] Lily
    This is the Kingdom of Herzeth, a nation
    whose history is intertwined with healers.
[01:03] Lily
    The contributions of
    healers helped it expand
[01:06] Lily
    and gained it a position of real importance.
[01:10] Lily
    The royal hospital is
    where many healers gather
[01:14] Lily
    to learn more sophisticated healing magic
[01:17] Lily
    and earn their license before
    beginning their journeys as healers.
[01:22] Lily
    But in a corner of the kingdom, there's
    someone who didn't receive a formal education
[01:26] Lily
    and doesn't have a license
    to practice healing.
[01:30] Zonde
    Thanks again, man.
[01:35] Zonde
    Here's some cash.
[01:37] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
[01:39] Zenos
    I'm always willing to heal if
    you're willing to pay the price.
[01:43] Zonde
    Thanks again!
[01:45] Lily
    That was great, Zenos.
[01:48] Lily
    You've got a house call today, right?
[01:50] Zenos
    Yeah. I'll be back before nightfall.
[01:53] Lily
    Okay! I'll be ready and
    waiting with dinner by then.
[01:56] Lily
    Have a safe trip!
[01:59] Zenos
    I'm heading out.
[02:16] Liily
    Oh, Carmilla! Dinner isn't ready yet.
[02:20] Carmilla
    Let's have a look...
[02:22] Carmilla
    Stew, eh? I always look forward
    to your cooking, Lily!
[02:28] Lily
    Leave it to me! 'Cuz I'm gonna
    be Zenos's wife someday!
[02:32] Lily
    I can always cook something tasty!
[02:37] Carmilla
    Such a hard worker.
[02:39] Carmilla
    I believe I'll rest in my room for now, though.
[02:45] Zophia
    Doc?
[02:48] Zophia
    I'm here to visit.
[02:49] Zophia
    Huh? Is he not in?
[02:52] Lily
    Zophia, Zenos is off on a house call.
[02:56] Zophia
    Seriously?
[02:57] Zophia
    I guess I'll wait until he gets back, then.
[03:04] Zophia
    I was hoping to have him to
    myself by showing up early...
[03:09] Zophia
    I figured you'd show.
[03:11] Lynga
    Sir Zenos! Lynga has come to see you.
[03:16] Lynga
    No one's around...
[03:18] Lily
    Zenos is on a house call.
[03:21] Zophia
    Hey.
[03:23] Lynga
    Lynga was going to lick Sir Zenos
    all over while he fluffed my tail...
[03:29] Zophia
    I'm already waiting for Doc to get
    back, so how about you run on home?
[03:33] Lynga
    Lynga will be the one waiting.
[03:38] Lily
    I actually live here!
[03:42] Zophia
    Guess you're right!
[03:45] Lynga
    She's here, too.
[03:49] Loewe
    Zenos! I've come for amusement.
[03:52] Loewe
    Where are you?
[03:54] Lily
    Loewe, Zenos is on a house call.
[03:57] Lily
    The others are inside.
[03:59] Lily
    You can join us, but only after fixing the door.
[04:02] Loewe
    The whole gang's here, I see.
[04:05] Lynga
    You all copy Lynga.
[04:07] Loewe
    Let me guess: you both found the promise
    of Lily's cooking irresistible?
[04:10] Zophie
    No, that's just you.
[04:17] Lily
    And now the secret ingredient...
[04:22] Lily
    We'll be eating when Zenos gets back.
    Are you all going to join us?
[04:26] Loewe
    That was my intention.
[04:28] Zophia
    Since I'm here, I might as well.
[04:31] Lynga
    Of course, Lynga will eat, too!
[04:37] Lily
    I'm looking forward to a group meal.
[04:40] Lily
    But I'd better put the laundry away.
[04:43] Lily
    Watch the pot, okay?
[04:49] Zophia
    Whatever it is, it smells good.
[04:52] Lynga
    I can't wait until dinner!
[04:54] Loewe
    I was thinking the same thing.
[04:57] Loewe
    Let's have a quick taste while it's still hot.
[05:03] Loewe
    This is amazing!
[05:05] Lynga
    Lynga, too!
[05:06] Lynga
    This isn't sneaking a bite. Just a taste test!
[05:12] Loewe
    I can't stop.
[05:13] Zophia
    Unbelievable... Lily is gonna
    be pissed at you two.
[05:19] Lynga
    That was Lynga's!
[05:24] Zophia
    Maybe just a sample, so I can learn
    how the doc likes his food seasoned...
[05:44] Lily
    I hope Zenos gets back early.
[05:53] Zophia
    Well, this is a real mess
    we've gotten ourselves into.
[05:57] Lynga
    Lynga agrees.
[05:59] Loewe
    My stomach can attest to that.
[06:02] Lynga
    You two ate it all!
[06:05] Loewe
    Exactly! You two are unbelievable.
[06:08] Zophia
    Do you girls have amnesia or something?
[06:11] Lynga
    Oh, good idea! Lynga remembers nothing!
[06:15] Loewe
    I get it! We can just make more!
[06:18] Zophia
    So that's your plan, eh?
[06:21] Zophia
    I guess I'm in, then.
[06:23] Zophia
    Let's fill this pot up with ingredients.
[06:33] Lily
    Would any of you care to
    explain what happened?
[06:36] Lily
    Zophia. Lynga. Loewe.
[06:42] Zophia
    It's actually a complicated story...
[06:45] Lynga
    Lynga doesn't know.
[06:47] Loewe
    I'm not sure myself.
[06:50] Lily
    I'm not sure I heard that right.
[06:53] Lily
    One more time: please explain what happened.
[06:59] Zophia
    It smelled so good, I wanted to taste it...
[07:02] Lynga
    Lynga's hands moved on their own.
[07:06] Loewe
    It was very good!
[07:10] Zophia
    Great, now she's upset because of you two.
[07:13] Lynga
    Loewe eats too much!
[07:15] Loewe
    It was so good, I couldn't stop!
[07:17] Zophia
    Don't blame the food.
[07:19] Loewe
    I nearly ate the whole pot...
[07:21] Lynga
    That can't be good for digestion.
[07:23] Loewe
    I could always have Zenos
    check me out after.
[07:26] Zophia
    Don't waste Doc's time with
    that kind of nonsense.
[07:29] Lynga
    The fur on Lynga's tail is feeling rough,
[07:32] Lynga
    so I need Zenos to rub it like usual.
[07:35] Zophia
    Quit sharing your delusions with us.
[07:38] Lynga
    Zophia, jealousy is not becoming.
[07:40] Loewe
    Maybe instead of Lynga, you should be
    envious of this honed body of steel?
[07:46] Lynga
    Sir Zenos wouldn't like a bulgy mess!
[07:50] Lynga
    He likes Lynga's double serving of
    athletic slenderness and fluffy goodness!
[07:54] Zophia
    You two are getting way off track.
[07:57] Lynga
    Loser lizard is chirping again.
[07:59] Zophia
    You got something to say, pup?
[08:01] Loewe
    Don't leave me out.
[08:03] Zophia
    Stay out of it.
[08:04] Lily
    Everyone...
[08:06] Lily
    If you start fighting, Zenos will be mad.
[08:11] Lily
    I was really hoping we
    could all eat together.
[08:16] Zophia
    I'm sorry, Lily.
[08:18] Lynga
    Sorry! Lynga will help make dinner!
[08:22] Loewe
    You'll have my aid, too.
[08:23] Loewe
    I can handle heavier tasks!
[08:26] Lily
    We only had enough ingredients
    to make that one batch...
[08:31] Lily
    Nothing else.
[08:32] Carmilla
    Excuse me?
[08:36] Lynga
    So sorry!
[08:39] Carmilla
    I was so looking forward to eating the
    stew Lily made... and you ate it all?
[08:47] Carmilla
    Whatever should I do about that?
[08:50] Carmilla
    Maybe I'll see what a soul that's
    been flavored with stew tastes like?
[08:55] Lynga
    You two, apologize!
[08:56] Three
    We're so sorry!
[08:59] Lily
    Ingredients...
[09:01] Lily
    I need you all to bring me more ingredients.
[09:06] Lynga
    Lynga will get what you need!
[09:08] Zophia
    Consider it done!
[09:10] Zophia
    I'll get you the real good stuff!
[09:14] Loewe
    I can get as much as you need!
[09:23] Lily
    That was the last of the herbs, too...
[09:26] Carmilla
    Shouldn't you have been angrier with them?
[09:29] Lily
    I'm not that mad.
[09:33] Carmilla
    You're certainly forgiving, Lily.
[09:36] Carmilla
    If they had gotten into my
    liquor as well as the food,
[09:39] Carmilla
    they'd have all been cursed.
[09:42] Lily
    It's because I'm a grown-up!
[09:46] Lily
    Plus, I like it when we're all together.
[09:51] Lily
    I wonder if I'll be able to finish
    dinner by the time Zenos gets back...
[10:10] Forbes?
    Unbelievable. Just what are you doing?
[10:15] Forbes?
    What am I going to do with you?
[10:18] Forbes?
    Where have you been?
[10:21] Til
    M-My stomach hurt, so I went to a hospital,
[10:26] Til
    but I didn't have any money,
    so they wouldn't see me...
[10:30] Forbes
    Do you really think a stomachache is enough
    to get you a reprieve? You, a slave?
[10:35] Forbes
    Ridiculous. Back to work with you.
[10:39] Til
    I-I'm so sorry!
[10:56] Forbes
    A grimy grave like this is perfectly
    suited to a grimy demihuman.
[11:05] Forbes
    This is pathetic. On your feet already!
[11:09] Forbes
    For you to give me all this trouble...
[11:12] Forbes
    Do you want to be in one of these graves?!
[11:20] Forbes
    That's enough loafing around.
[11:23] Forbes
    Hurry and find anything of value.
[11:28] Forbes
    You can't even talk anymore?
[11:31] Forbes
    Absolutely worthless.
[11:34] Forbes
    I'll be heading back now.
[11:37] Forbes
    You will be fed today... if you earn it.
[11:50] Forbes
    Blood?
[11:53] Forbes
    What are you doing?!
[11:59] Forbes
    Damn it. What is going on here?
[12:07] Forbes
    You there!
[12:14] Forbes
    My slave has gone mad and
    started attacking me!
[12:17] Forbes
    Can you do something?!
[12:19] Zenos
    What are you talking about?
[12:21] Zenos
    Kind of self-absorbed, aren't you?
[12:24] Forbes
    She's caught up with me! That's her!
[12:32] Zenos
    What were you doing?
[12:34] Forbes
    Just our usual work.
[12:38] Zenos
    What work is that?
[12:40] Forbes
    A bit of farming, that's all.
[12:43] Forbes
    Now, look at these wounds!
[12:46] Forbes
    I need to get to a hospital
    as soon as possible!
[12:49] Forbes
    If you can do something
    about her, I'll pay you!
[12:56] Zenos
    What's wrong?
[12:58] Zenos
    That was rather violent.
[12:59] Zenos
    You feeling all right?
[13:04] Forbes
    Quite impressive...
[13:07] Forbes
    Now do away with her!
[13:09] Zenos
    That's not happening.
[13:10] Forbes
    Why?
[13:12] Zenos
    My job isn't killing people.
[13:15] Forbes
    If you insist on that kind of nonsense,
[13:18] Forbes
    you could get me—an aristocrat—killed!
[13:21] Forbes
    She's just a slave! I can
    always buy a new one!
[13:28] Zenos
    Sorry, but I try to save any lives I can.
[13:35] Forbes
    And who do you think you are?
[13:38] Zenos
    A healer.
[13:50] Forbes
    What kind of healer can do that?!
[13:55] Zenos
    She's fast. Faster than your
    average demihuman should be.
[14:22] Zenos
    I'll get you up in a second.
    Just calm down for me.
[14:26] Til
    No, no, no...
[14:30] Til
    It hurts...
[14:33] Til
    I can't... anymore...
[14:37] Zenos
    That explains it.
[14:43] Zenos
    I've heard of dinner and conversation,
[14:46] Zenos
    but dinner and possession is new.
[14:48] Zenos
    I'll take care of you now. Heal.
[14:58] Zenos
    I wonder what kind of "farming"
    gets you possessed by ghosts.
[15:02] Zenos
    This takes care of today's work, though.
[15:10] Forbes
    Her broken leg was healed in an instant.
[15:14] Forbes
    He's incredibly powerful!
[15:20] Forbes
    Y-You there... You're actually a healer.
[15:26] Zenos
    Yeah, I am.
[15:28] Forbes
    Th-Then save me!
[15:31] Zenos
    I'm off the clock for today, actually.
[15:33] Zenos
    Can you hold out until tomorrow?
[15:35] Forbes
    Tomorrow? I'll die by then!
[15:39] Forbes
    Heal me right now!
[15:41] Zenos
    Right now, huh?
[15:43] Zenos
    It'll cost you a bit extra. Is that all right?
[15:49] Forbes
    That should more than suffice.
[15:52] Zenos
    Whoa.
[15:53] Zenos
    That's nowhere near enough.
[15:55] Forbes
    Th-That's not enough?!
[15:58] Forbes
    But it's already more than the market price!
[16:01] Forbes
    Do you really think a healer can fleece
    someone with such extravagant costs?!
[16:08] Zenos
    Well, I'm an underground healer
    without a license, so...
[16:13] Forbes
    Underground healer? Such a thing exists?
[16:18] Zenos
    It's an underworld gig.
    Kind of like grave-robbing.
[16:21] Forbes
    Grave-robbing? Whatever do you mean?
[16:25] Zenos
    Oh, right, "farming."
[16:29] Zenos
    In that case...
[16:31] Zenos
    I'll take her to make up the difference.
[16:35] Forbes
    Her? The slave?
[16:40] Forbes
    Do what you will with her!
[16:43] Zenos
    All right, you've got a deal.
[16:49] Zenos
    That's your payment taken care of.
[16:53] Forbes
    Bloody job's not worth the trouble...
[17:06] Zenos
    You awake?
[17:08] Til
    Ow...
[17:10] Til
    Who are you?
[17:12] Zenos
    I'm Zenos.
[17:13] Zenos
    I bought you.
[17:16] Zenos
    How's your name pronounced?
[17:18] Til
    I'm Til.
[17:21] Til
    You... bought me?
[17:24] Zenos
    Yeah. Now strip, Til.
[17:29] Zenos
    You cost a lot.
[17:31] Zenos
    I've gotta make sure
    you're in good condition.
[17:42] Til
    Right...
[17:59] Zenos
    I knew it.
[18:01] Zenos
    There's a gallstone blocking your
    bile duct, causing inflammation.
[18:04] Zenos
    You were hunched over as
    if you had abdominal pain.
[18:06] Zenos
    That and the jaundice caught
    my interest, so I followed you.
[18:09] Zenos
    I'll fix you right up.
[18:17] Til
    What just happened?
[18:19] Zenos
    What do you mean?
[18:21] Zenos
    I opened you up, took the stone
    out, and closed you back up.
[18:24] Til
    No incantation, no magic circle...
[18:28] Til
    No trace of an opening, either!
[18:31] Zenos
    Any healer could pull that off.
[18:34] Til
    You can do all that, Master?!
[18:37] Zenos
    It's just normal.
[18:39] Til
    No, it's not!
[18:44] Til
    Thank you for curing me.
[18:47] Til
    I don't know how to thank you...
[18:49] Zenos
    You really think thanks are enough?
[18:52] Zenos
    What I want is an equal price.
[18:54] Zenos
    That means it's time for you to get to work.
[18:57] Til
    Wh-Whatever you want!
[18:59] Til
    I'll pay you back as your slave!
[19:05] Til
    Ask... whatever you want.
[19:10] Zenos
    Could you show me where to find this?
[19:13] Zenos
    Or not?
[19:15] Til
    I-I can.
[19:19] Til
    Right this way, please.
[19:28] Til
    Is this right?
[19:32] Zenos
    It sure is.
[19:34] Zenos
    Thanks, Til.
[19:37] Til
    Thanks aren't necessary.
[19:39] Til
    But is this really all you need?
[19:42] Til
    I was anticipating... a lot more.
[19:47] Til
    And I'm willing to...
[19:49] Zenos
    Nah, you did your job.
[19:52] Til
    What do you mean?
[19:54] Zenos
    Just what I said.
[19:56] Til
    But, Master, I'm indebted to you!
[20:00] Zenos
    And like I said, you paid me back.
[20:02] Zenos
    I always demand a fair
    price for the labor I do,
[20:05] Zenos
    and I always pay a fair price
    for what I expect others to do.
[20:07] Til
    I haven't done anything yet.
[20:11] Zenos
    You found the leaves.
[20:14] Zenos
    Leaves I couldn't have found on my own.
[20:17] Til
    B-But those are just...
[20:20] Zenos
    Point is, their value is equal
    to what I did for you.
[20:26] Zenos
    All debts are settled.
[20:28] Zenos
    Your life's your own now.
[20:32] Til
    My life is... my own?
[20:36] Til
    What... I would like to do now is...
[20:43] Til
    I don't really know.
[20:46] Til
    But now that I'm not a slave,
    I'm going to live to find out!
[20:50] Til
    And when I do find out,
    I'll come and tell you!
[20:54] Til
    Is that all right, Zenos?
[20:58] Zenos
    Sure.
[21:00] Zenos
    See you around, Til.
[21:02] Zenos
    If you get hurt, come and see me.
[21:04] Zenos
    I can take care of you
    as an underground healer.
[21:06] Zenos
    But not for free, of course.
[21:14] Zenos
    I'm back.
[21:17] Lily
    Welcome back, Zenos.
[21:19] Lily
    D-Dinner's not ready yet...
[21:24] Loewe
    Zenos!
[21:24] Lynga
    Sir Zenos!
[21:24] Zophia
    Doc!
[21:25] Zenos
    What are you three doing here?
[21:27] Zophia
    Maybe don't ask, okay?
[21:30] Lynga
    Lynga didn't do anything wrong.
[21:32] Zoewe
    I assure you, I did not sneak any food!
[21:35] Lily
    Vegetables, fish, and lots of meat!
[21:39] Lily
    I gotta make the most of all this!
[21:44] Carmilla
    You seem to have had some fun.
[21:47] Zenos
    Didn't see you up there.
[21:51] Carmilla
    Well, well, is that a new
    girl I sense you've met?
[21:56] Zenos
    Quit poking fun.
[22:01] Lily
    Since everyone brought so much,
[22:04] Lily
    I can make a whole bunch of food!
[22:06] Zenos
    Yeah? Sounds good.
[22:09] Lily
    Just you wait!
[22:16] Lily
    I'll make some black tea first,
[22:18] Lily
    and we can drink it together!
[22:22] Zenos
    Sure.

[00:04] Zenos
    What's this?
[00:05] Aston
    I figured you'd never seen one before.
[00:09] Aston
    It's a gold coin,
[00:11] Aston
    the kind of reward a poor joker like you
    would normally never see in his whole life.
[00:16] Zenos
    Aston, what is this all abou—
[00:18] Aston
    Zenos.
[00:19] Aston
    You haven't done a damn thing lately.
[00:22] Aston
    Frankly, we don't need you anymore.
[00:24] Zenos
    I've been doing plenty,
[00:26] Zenos
    and I thought you said we were friends.
[00:33] Aston
    You're as dumb as you
    were when you were a kid!
[00:36] Aston
    Anybody would've been fine,
    as long as they were disposable.
[00:41] Aston
    Saves a whole lot of heartache if they
    end up dying as human shields, y'know?
[00:45] Aston
    And you poor are basically livestock, anyway.
[00:48] Aston
    Imagine that, a beast of burden thinking
    he's part of the gang just because we fed him.
[00:52] Aston
    Talk about hilarious.
[00:54] Aston
    We've gotten strong!
[00:57] Aston
    We're one of the most famous parties around!
[00:59] Zenos
    Because I was there to—
[01:01] Aston
    Don't try to take credit for it with
    your shady, self-taught healing magic.
[01:07] Aston
    We've gotta make our party look good to
    the aristocracy and royalty from now on.
[01:12] Aston
    You can guess how they'd react with
    some pissant from the slums in our crew.
[01:20] Aston
    Consider that your severance pay.
[01:21] Aston
    It should be enough to get
    you wherever you wanna go.
[01:24] Aston
    And you'd better keep your
    impoverished mouth shut
[01:27] Aston
    about ever having been a
    member of the Golden Phoenix.
[01:31] Zenos
    It's hush money, then.
[01:35] Zenos
    Fine.
[01:45] Lily
    No! Let go!
[01:47] Lily
    Don't! Stop it!
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[03:21] Lily
    No! Stop it!
[03:24] Woman
    You know how rare elves are.
    Make sure to hold her tight.
[03:27] Man
    Better not think you can get
    away, little elf girlie.
[03:42] Man
    Damn it!
[03:55] Man
    Let me go, you little runt!
[04:02] Zenos
    What am I gonna do now?
[04:04] Man
    Stupid brat!
[04:08] Woman
    What are you doing stabbing
    our merchandise, you idiot?
[04:10] Man
    I'm sorry, but she...
[04:16] Zenos
    Whoa, did you just stab a kid?
[04:18] Woman
    Excuse me? She belongs to us.
[04:21] Woman
    This is none of your business.
[04:24] Zenos
    I'll buy her from you, then.
[04:28] Woman
    Sounds like a deal. She's yours.
[04:32] Woman
    Let's get moving.
[04:35] Woman
    If she's dying anyway, better 
    that we get paid something.
[04:38] Man
    Oh, yeah! Nice one, boss!
[04:41] Zenos
    Hey. You still there?
[04:43] Lily
    Am I... gonna die?
[04:47] Zenos
    Don't worry. I can fix this kind of damage.
[04:54] Lily
    It's too late... I can't even
    feel the pain anymore...
[04:57] Zenos
    I already healed you,
    so you can talk normally now.
[05:01] Lily
    Huh? It doesn't hurt, and the wound's gone.
[05:05] Lily
    I thought for sure I'd die!
[05:08] Lily
    Why am I back to normal?
[05:10] Zenos
    Well, I'm a healer.
[05:12] Zenos
    All I had to do was take the arrow out,
    fix the damage, and seal up the wounds.
[05:17] Lily
    Thank you... Thank you, mister!
[05:22] Zenos
    Um, so... What's your name?
[05:25] Lily
    Lily.
[05:26] Lily
    Um, about your money...
[05:29] Zenos
    You mean the gold coin I paid them?
[05:32] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
[05:33] Zenos
    I wasn't thrilled about holding on to
    my severance pay from Aston, anyway.
[05:37] Lily
    So, who are you? A famous healer?
[05:42] Zenos
    My name's Zenos.
[05:43] Zenos
    I don't have a healing
    license, and I'm self-taught.
[05:47] Zenos
    Anyway, where do you live?
[05:49] Lily
    I don't... have a home.
[05:55] Zenos
    I guess we'll start by getting you some
    clothes and something to eat, Lily.
[05:59] Lily
    O-Okay.
[06:06] Lily
    So good!
[06:11] Lily
    Aren't you gonna eat, Zenos?
[06:13] Zenos
    I'm... full already.
[06:16] Lily
    Okay!
[06:19] Zenos
    The truth is, I'm broke.
[06:21] Zenos
    But I'll deal with that later.
[06:24] Zenos
    What do I do with her?
[06:25] Zenos
    Maybe an orphanage in the slums...
[06:27] Zenos
    No. Just thinking about the way she'd
    be treated is enough to depress me.
[06:32] Lily
    Where do you work out of, Zenos?
[06:35] Zenos
    I was actually just kicked out
    of my old adventuring party.
[06:39] Zenos
    So I've got nowhere to go.
[06:40] Lily
    Just like me, then.
[06:44] Zenos
    For now, I guess I'd better look for a job.
[06:49] Zonde
    Sorry, but... c-can I get some water?
[06:54] Zenos
    That arm...
[06:56] Zenos
    A bullet hole and a large burn.
    You were shot with a magic gun.
[06:59] Zonde
    Yeah, I got careless, and
    they made me pay for it.
[07:04] Zonde
    I just wish it didn't hurt so bad...
[07:07] Zenos
    You're overreacting.
[07:08] Zenos
    It's worse than a scratch,
    but it should heal in no time.
[07:11] Zonde
    Buddy, what the hell are you on?
[07:15] Zenos
    That said, it is pretty deep.
[07:18] Zenos
    Including an incantation
    will probably be safer.
[07:22] Zenos
    Heal.
[07:27] Zonde
    What did you just do?
[07:29] Zonde
    Who the hell are you?
[07:31] Lily
    Zenos is an amazing healer!
[07:35] Zonde
    Zenos... I've never heard
    of such an awesome healer.
[07:42] Zonde
    I appreciate it, man.
[07:45] Zonde
    See ya around! I'm gonna remember you!
[07:51] Lily
    Why are you so quiet, Zenos?
[07:54] Zenos
    You pay a restaurant for
    the food you get from it...
[07:58] Zenos
    So does that mean healers can
    be paid for their services, too?
[08:02] Lily
    That sounds normal to me.
[08:05] Zenos
    Right... Of course.
[08:08] (Flashback) Lily
    Thank you!
[08:11] Zenos
    Remember how you said "thank you"
    when I healed you, Lily?
[08:15] Lily
    I think thanking someone when
    they help you is normal, too.
[08:21] Zenos
    That settles it, then. I'm going
    to open up a healing clinic.
[08:25] Lily
    A clinic?
[08:27] Zenos
    What you said really made me happy.
[08:29] Zenos
    I'd never been thanked like that before.
[08:33] Zenos
    But since I'm from the slums,
    I can't get a license,
[08:37] Zenos
    and running a legit business
    will probably be tough...
[08:40] Zenos
    In that case, I'd have to
    work in the shadows...
[08:42] Zenos
    I'd be an underground healer.
[08:45] Lily
    An underground healer! That's cool!
[08:47] Lily
    You're so cool, Zenos!
[08:49] Lily
    I wanna help with your clinic!
[08:52] Zenos
    Running a clinic without a
    license would be illegal.
[08:55] Zenos
    Should I drag an innocent
    kid into something like that?
[08:58] Lily
    You already bought me, Zenos!
[09:00] Lily
    That makes you my master!
[09:02] Lily
    So I'm going to follow you!
[09:04] Zenos
    I was just trying to help you...
[09:06] Lily
    So you paid for me when you were
    gonna just throw me out after?
[09:10] Lily
    I don't mean anything to you, huh?
[09:12] Zenos
    Don't say stuff that could be misinterpreted.
[09:15] Zenos
    Fine, but only until we find somewhere
    safe for you to live, okay?
[09:19] Lily
    Really?! That's great!
[09:22] Lily
    I'm going to take such
    good care of you, Master!
[09:25] Zenos
    Seriously, mind the phrasing.
[09:31] Lily
    You really want to run your clinic here?
[09:34] Lily
    I don't see any sign of people.
[09:36] Zenos
    That's because this part
    of town is abandoned.
[09:38] Lily
    Why pick it, then?
[09:40] Zenos
    If I'm running an underground operation,
    I can't exactly do it openly, can I?
[09:44] Lily
    That makes sense! You're smart, Zenos!
[09:46] Zenos
    And there are a lot of
    intact houses around here.
[09:51] Zenos
    This one seems in decent condition.
[09:56] Zenos
    Let's take a look inside, then.
[09:58] Lily
    S-Sure...
[10:00] Zenos
    What's wrong? You scared?
[10:02] Lily
    It's just... I know about how monsters
    tend to be born in scary places like this.
[10:08] Lily
    What if we run into a
    wraith? We'll be done for!
[10:11] Zenos
    A wraith?
[10:12] Lily
    They're the strongest undead monsters!
[10:15] Lily
    They look just like people, but they
    can kill you and turn you into a ghost
[10:19] Lily
    that has to obey them, just by touching you!
[10:27] Lily
    Zenos, hang on.
[10:30] Lily
    Holy lamplight that brightens the night,
[10:32] Lily
    become a dazzling shine that
    chases away the darkness,
[10:34] Lily
    and show me the way! Illuminate!
[10:38] Zenos
    You can use magic?
[10:40] Lily
    Yep. Just simple stuff, though.
[10:45] Lily
    Wow, this place...
[10:49] Zenos
    Yeah, it's not bad.
[10:51] Lily
    You really think so?
[10:53] Zenos
    Yeah. I mean, it's got a roof.
[10:55] Lily
    Well, yeah, it does, but...
[10:57] Zenos
    When I was in a party, I spent
    most of my nights outdoors alone.
[11:02] Zenos
    The support beams are in great shape.
[11:04] Zenos
    It just needs a bit of work to be livable.
[11:06] Lily
    You're really optimistic, Zenos.
[11:08] Zenos
    I've already lost everything I had.
[11:10] Zenos
    No sense in being negative now.
[11:23] Carmilla
    The aroma of life.
[11:25] Carmilla
    Give it to me.
[11:27] Carmilla
    Give it to me.
[11:28] Lily
    Zenos, it's a wraith!
    We actually ran into one!
[11:32] Zenos
    I guess this place was occupied.
[11:34] Zenos
    This is probably the best
    property around here, after all.
[11:37] Lily
    Zenos, how are you so calm?
[11:44] Zenos
    Heal.
[11:48] Zenos
    I get it. So these are wraiths.
[11:51] Zenos
    I've taken down a hundred or so of them.
[11:54] Aston
    When something was bugging Aston,
[11:56] Aston
    he'd send me into an underground
    labyrinth to cheer himself up,
[11:59] Aston
    and I ran into a lot of them there.
[12:02] Aston
    Which is how I know undead monsters
    are weak to healing magic.
[12:06] Lily
    I've heard even encountering
    a wraith means you die,
[12:10] Lily
    yet you fought a hundred?
[12:11] Zenos
    Sorry, but this building really does
    look like the only option around here.
[12:15] Zenos
    We'll stay out of your way,
    so do you mind if we move in?
[12:18] Carmilla
    What are you saying, you wretch?
[12:21] Carmilla
    Hurry up and surrender...
[12:24] Carmilla
    your life!
[12:25] Zenos
    Heal.
[12:27] Zenos
    Oh, sorry. You were trying to attack me, so...
[12:30] Zenos
    I didn't mean anything by it.
[12:32] Carmilla
    Unacceptable.
[12:34] Carmilla
    No mortal has ever enraged Carmilla,
    queen of the specters, like this before.
[12:38] Carmilla
    Gather before me, my servants!
[12:40] Carmilla
    Slaughter these ignorant humans!
[12:44] Lily
    Zenos!
[12:47] Zenos
    I was hoping to do this
    the peaceful way, but...
[12:50] Zenos
    High Heal.
[12:54] Carmilla
    Wh-What is this?!
[12:56] Carmilla
    What in the world are you?!
[12:58] Zenos
    Nobody important. Just an underground healer.
[13:01] Zenos
    And I really am sorry.
[13:03] Zenos
    We're okay with just a room to
    do our healing and one bedroom.
[13:07] Carmilla
    U-Use the first floor as you'd like!
[13:09] Carmilla
    But the second floor belongs to me!
[13:12] Zenos
    You've got it. I really appreciate it.
[13:14] Zenos
    We've got our clinic, Lily.
[13:16] Lily
    I really don't know if I should
    be happy or sad right now.
[13:26] Lily
    So bored...
[13:28] Zenos
    Nothing wrong with that.
[13:29] Zenos
    It gives us plenty of time to clean.
[13:32] Zenos
    This place is actually starting
    to look like a real clinic now.
[13:34] Zenos
    Even if we are sharing the
    building with a wraith...
[13:37] Lily
    I know, but...
[13:39] Lily
    Maybe I should go outside
    and advertise a little?
[13:43] Lily
    We went to the trouble of making
    this nurse outfit, after all.
[13:48] Zenos
    But if we make ourselves too visible,
[13:50] Zenos
    the royal hospital could find out about us.
[13:53] Lily
    But we won't get any patients at this rate.
[13:56] Zenos
    Don't worry. They should
    be showing up any time now.
[13:59] Lily
    Really?
[14:01] Zonde
    Is this Zenos's clinic?
[14:03] Lily
    Wow, he was right.
[14:06] Lily
    Good afternoon!
[14:07] Lily
    Wait... Huh? I've seen him before.
[14:12] Zenos
    I figured you'd show.
[14:13] Zonde
    You knew I'd come?
[14:16] Zenos
    Someone with a magic gunshot
    burn isn't your average guy.
[14:20] Zenos
    And people like that tend to have reasons
    for not wanting to visit a normal hospital.
[14:25] Zonde
    My name's Zonde.
[14:27] Zonde
    I was hoping you'd take a
    look at my sister today.
[14:30] Zophia
    I hear you're supposed to be
    a real impressive healer, Doc.
[14:33] Zophia
    You up for it?
[14:35] Zenos
    I don't know about "real impressive,"
[14:36] Zenos
    but I can examine you, sure.
[14:39] Zophia
    My arm's been acting funny
    ever since I got shot.
[14:43] Zenos
    It must've been a magic gun
    with a special poison effect.
[14:46] Zenos
    The bullet's still in your arm and
    causing the flesh around it to decay.
[14:49] Zophia
    You got all that just from looking at it?
[14:51] Zenos
    I was almost made into a
    test subject for one once.
[14:55] Zophia
    There must be some real psychos out there...
[14:57] Zenos
    Definitely. Now that I think about it, I'm
    gonna need to get some payback one day.
[15:01] Zophia
    So, can you fix me up?
[15:03] Zenos
    Your arm is almost fully dead.
[15:05] Zenos
    It'd be better to amputate
    before the poison can spread.
[15:09] Zophia
    It is what it is, I guess.
[15:11] Zophia
    How much do I owe you?
[15:12] Zenos
    It'll be a million wen.
[15:14] Zonde
    Say what?! You want a million
    wen for lopping an arm off?!
[15:17] Zophia
    Easy there, Zonde.
[15:19] Zophia
    Gotta say, you really play hardball, Doc.
[15:23] Zophia
    You giving me that price knowing
    I'm Zophia the Tornado?
[15:28] Zenos
    You're Zophia the Tornado?
[15:30] Zenos
    I had no idea my first
    patient was such a big deal.
[15:33] Zenos
    One of the three bosses who run the
    slums, leader of the lizardmen...
[15:37] Zenos
    Hero to the downtrodden,
[15:39] Zenos
    who steals from crooked merchants and
    returns a portion of it to the poor.
[15:43] Zophia
    Asking a million wen for chopping an arm off.
[15:46] Zophia
    How're you gonna justify that to me?
[15:49] Zophia
    Because if you can't...
[15:50] Zenos
    First of all, who said cutting
    off your arm was all I'd do?
[15:54] Zenos
    No point in doing that if
    I don't generate a new one.
[15:56] Zenos
    And regeneration is exhausting.
[15:58] Zenos
    I'm never working for free again, understand?
[16:01] Zenos
    I don't care if you're a big
    shot in the slums or a king.
[16:05] Zenos
    I want fair pay for my labor from now on.
[16:07] Zophia
    What are you saying?
[16:09] Zophia
    I've never heard of a healer
    who can grow an arm back.
[16:12] Zenos
    Other healers can't do that?
[16:14] Zenos
    Are you serious?
[16:15] Zenos
    I never had proper training,
    so I don't know what the standards are.
[16:19] Zenos
    Do you mind if we get started?
[16:21] Zophia
    Sure... If you can actually do it.
[16:25] Zenos
    Scalpel.
[16:27] Zophia
    Wh-What is that?
[16:29] Zenos
    It's a blade made from mana. Very sharp.
[16:32] Zenos
    It's also sterile, and I can
    summon it or dispel it at will.
[16:35] Zophia
    I've never heard of a healer who
    uses something like that, either!
[16:38] Zenos
    Really? Then how do they make incisions?
[16:42] Zenos
    Cast a spell that heals over time on the
    affected area to numb the pain, and then...
[16:48] Zenos
    Okay, now comes the hard part.
[16:52] Zenos
    Defensive magic to control the bleeding
    while casting multiple healing spells...
[16:56] Zenos
    Amplify the regeneration of the
    wounded area many times over.
[16:59] Zenos
    First, the bones.
[17:03] Zenos
    Then the nerves.
[17:06] Zenos
    Blood vessels, muscles, and then skin...
[17:11] Zenos
    There, all done.
[17:12] Zenos
    I'm exhausted.
[17:15] Zenos
    A rush job would've been easier,
[17:17] Zenos
    but a perfect restoration
    really takes it out of me.
[17:21] Lily
    Great job, Zenos!
[17:23] Zophia
    You've blown my mind.
[17:25] Zophia
    I've never seen a healer like you before!
[17:28] Zonde
    What's that?
[17:29] Zenos
    That's our housemate. She's a wraith.
[17:31] Zonde
    You live with a wraith?!
[17:34] Carmilla
    I was hoping you'd fail and she'd die.
[17:37] Carmilla
    I am ever so starved for life.
[17:38] Zonde
    She seems kinda bloodthirsty, man!
[17:40] Zenos
    Don't mind her. Deep down, she's a real softie.
[17:43] Zonde
    Pretty sure she's not!
[17:47] Zophia
    You're amazing, Doc. And hilarious!
[17:51] Zophia
    I like you. Hope you don't mind
    me sending my people your way.
[17:55] Zophia
    And, of course, they'll be paying.
[18:02] Lily
    Zenos, I made some tea!
[18:04] Zenos
    Thanks. You're pretty considerate, Lily.
[18:08] Lily
    Praise me more!
[18:13] Zenos
    I'm curious why you made three, though.
[18:16] Lily
    For me, you, and Carmilla!
[18:18] Zenos
    You think she'll drink any?
[18:20] Carmilla
    Indeed I will.
[18:21] Zenos
    Okay, guess so.
[18:22] Lily
    Careful not to burn yourself.
[18:25] Carmilla
    That is a good idea.
[18:28] Zenos
    A wraith worried about burning herself
    on tea doesn't seem very scary.
[18:30] Carmilla
    I heard that. Would you
    like me to chase you off?
[18:33] Lily
    Ever since Zophia came by, we've
    been getting a lot of patients, huh?
[18:37] Zenos
    We sure have.
[18:39] Carmilla
    And none of them have died,
    which is quite tiresome for me.
[18:41] Carmilla
    Hot! Hot, hot, hot!
[18:45] Lily
    So, Zenos, why are the
    lizardmen always injured?
[18:50] Zenos
    Probably a beef with one
    of the other factions.
[18:53] Zenos
    There's a three-way demihuman
    standoff in the slums,
[18:56] Zenos
    and the fighting is ongoing.
[18:58] Zenos
    The lizardmen, the orcs, and...
[19:01] Lily
    What was that sound?!
[19:02] Zenos
    I think we're about to meet the third group.
[19:12] Lynga
    You must be Zenos, the underground healer.
[19:15] Lynga
    I'm Lynga, the boss of the slum's werewolves!
[19:18] Zenos
    She's said to run all the illegal
    gambling in the underground.
[19:21] Zenos
    Lynga the tyrant.
[19:23] Zenos
    I keep running into these
    underworld big shots...
[19:26] Zenos
    We're technically closed,
    but if it's bad enough,
[19:29] Zenos
    I can provide emergency service.
[19:31] Lynga
    The emergency here is you, Zenos.
[19:35] Lynga
    No matter how bad we beat Zophia's
    lizards, they keep popping back up.
[19:40] Lynga
    I thought it was weird,
    and then I learned about you.
[19:42] Lynga
    Zenos, you seem to be quite the healer!
[19:47] Zenos
    I'm just an unremarkable underground healer.
[19:49] Zenos
    I don't even have a license.
[19:50] Lynga
    I think I'm gonna kill you!
[19:53] Zenos
    Are you listening?
[19:54] Lynga
    Then no one can heal Zophia's men!
[19:57] Zenos
    Hello?
[19:59] Lynga
    Then I can beat Zophia!
[20:04] Lynga
    Why didn't your head come off?!
[20:06] Zenos
    You're not listening at all.
[20:09] Zenos
    Lily, this is gonna get rough,
    so wait in the back room.
[20:12] Lily
    R-Right!
[20:14] Zenos
    My defense magic is self-taught, too...
    but seems effective enough.
[20:17] Lynga
    Impossible! Not even a scratch from my axe?!
[20:21] Lynga
    Get 'im!
[20:22] Werewolves
    Yes, boss!
[20:27] Zenos
    Hey. Can we stop now?
[20:29] Lynga
    N-No, we can't!
[20:30] Lynga
    Fine, then! All of you,
    take the building down!
[20:34] Werewolves
    Yes, boss!
[20:35] Zenos
    Uh, I really wouldn't if I were you.
[20:39] Lynga
    If we can't kill you, we'll take your clinic away!
[20:43] Zenos
    She seriously doesn't listen at all.
[20:46] Zenos
    Whatever. I tried to warn you.
[20:51] Werewolves
    A wraith!
[20:52] Werewolves
    It's a wraith!
[20:53] Werewolves
    A wraith!
[20:54] Carmilla
    You dare damage my home?
[20:56] Carmilla
    Now, suffer!
[20:57] Werewolves
    We're doomed!
[20:58] Werewolves
    Mommy!
[21:00] Zenos
    Hang on, Carmilla.
[21:02] Zenos
    I understand how you feel.
[21:03] Zenos
    I'm pretty pissed about the clinic being
    messed up after I finally had it looking nice.
[21:08] Carmilla
    I don't see the issue, then!
[21:09] Carmilla
    Let me take their lives!
[21:11] Zenos
    The second floor is yours.
[21:13] Zenos
    If they make their way up there, have at it.
[21:15] Zenos
    But the first floor is the clinic,
    and that's for saving lives,
[21:18] Zenos
    not taking them.
[21:20] Carmilla
    I realize that! You are so irritating.
[21:23] Zenos
    I appreciate you getting mad, though.
[21:26] Carmilla
    I-It wasn't for your sake!
[21:28] Carmilla
    This is my house.
[21:29] Carmilla
    And it's become more
    comfortable as of late...
[21:35] Lynga
    The wraith... listened to him?
[21:38] Lynga
    Sir Zenos! F-Forgive us!
[21:41] Lynga
    We didn't know you commanded a wraith!
[21:45] Zenos
    I don't, actually.
[21:47] Lynga
    We werewolves are nocturnal by nature!
[21:50] Lynga
    We're instinctively afraid of higher
    existences, like wraiths and vampires!
[21:55] Lynga
    You command one, and we were so rude to you!
[21:58] Zenos
    I don't really command her, though.
[22:00] Lynga
    All of you, bow down!
[22:02] Lynga
    Show Sir Zenos how sincere we are!
[22:04] Werewolves
    Yes, boss!
[22:06] Zenos
    I guess I forgot that she just doesn't listen.
[22:15] Orc
    You're Zenos the underground healer, right?
[22:17] Orc
    The head of the orcs,
    Lady Loewe, would like a word.
[22:21] Lily
    Is she a new patient?

[00:02] Zenos
    I figured this was coming...
[00:04] Lily
    What do you mean?
[00:06] Zenos
    After dealing with the lizardmen and
    the werewolves, here come the orcs.
[00:10] Zenos
    Their leader is a big deal, and made a
    fortune on the excavation of mana stones.
[00:14] Zenos
    It's been a month since I opened the clinic,
[00:17] Zenos
    and after this, I'll have dealt with the
    leaders of all the factions in the slums.
[00:22] Zenos
    Out of curiosity, would you say
    your boss can be reasoned with?
[00:26] Orc
    Lady Loewe is as wise as she is dignified.
[00:31] Zenos
    I sure hope so.
[00:33] Zenos
    Zophia's been dropping off
    extravagant gifts every day...
[00:36] Zenos
    And Lynga's been building a massive "palace"
    next door to make up for the mess she made.
[00:41] Zenos
    But if the head of the orcs is reasonable,
[00:43] Zenos
    I shouldn't need to worry
    about that kind of thing.
[00:45] Zenos
    So why didn't she come in person?
[00:48] Orc
    There have been lizardmen and werewolves
    coming and going from this place.
[00:52] Orc
    Do you really think I'd bring Lady
    Loewe to a place in enemy territory?
[00:59] Zenos
    How serious is it?
[01:00] Orc
    She can't be moved.
[01:05] Zenos
    You should've led with that.
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[02:41] Orc
    In here.
[02:47] Orc
    Lady Loewe, I've brought Zenos,
    the underground healer.
[02:51] Loewe
    Good of you to come.
[02:53] Loewe
    I am Loewe.
[02:55] Zenos
    So you're Loewe.
[02:56] Zenos
    How'd you hear about me?
[02:58] Loewe
    How could I not have?
[02:59] Loewe
    You're a celebrity to those who dwell
    in the underworld of the slums.
[03:03] Zenos
    Wow, really?
[03:04] Loewe
    The lizardmen and werewolves were raving,
[03:06] Loewe
    "There's this awesome healer! But I can't
    tell you about him or he'll attract trouble!"
[03:11] Loewe
    So I looked into you myself.
[03:14] Zenos
    Damn it, what part of
    "underground operation"
[03:17] Zenos
    made them want to spread
    my name around like that?!
[03:19] Loewe
    I'm told that you can provide any kind of
    healing as long as the price paid is equal.
[03:25] Zenos
    I've gotten tired of
    working for free, you see.
[03:27] Loewe
    Well, I find myself unable to move from
    here at the moment. Can you tell why?
[03:32] Zenos
    Is this a test? I guess I'll have to check.
[03:38] Zenos
    Scan.
[03:40] Loewe
    What are you doing?
[03:41] Zenos
    I don't see any external injuries,
    so I'm looking inside you.
[03:45] Loewe
    I've never heard of a
    healer who can do that.
[03:48] Zenos
    I'm curious how they heal anyone if they
    don't check what's going on inside.
[03:54] Zenos
    There's a lump in your abdomen.
[03:56] Zenos
    And I can sense mana...
[03:58] Zenos
    Is it a mana stone?
[04:00] Loewe
    Correct you are.
[04:01] Loewe
    Enchanted for Explosion at a
    particularly high potency, at that.
[04:05] Zenos
    Wait, did someone slip this in your food?
[04:07] Loewe
    Not at all! I mistook it for a
    rice ball and ate it, is all.
[04:10] Zenos
    So you're an idiot.
[04:11] Loewe
    Despite appearances,
    I have quite the appetite!
[04:14] Zenos
    I don't care!
[04:15] Zenos
    This is ridiculous. You'll expel it
    sooner or later without any help.
[04:19] Loewe
    I'm afraid not.
[04:21] Loewe
    I partially chewed it apart, so there's
    not much time until it detonates.
[04:25] Loewe
    Not to mention, if I move carelessly,
    that could also set it off.
[04:28] Zenos
    So that's why you can't move.
[04:30] Loewe
    The real problem is that my
    men refuse to leave my side.
[04:34] Orcs
    Chief!
[04:35] Orcs
    When we die, we die together!
[04:37] Orcs
    We'll be at your side!
[04:39] Zenos
    And what do you expect me to do?
[04:41] Loewe
    I'm looking to donate our wealth to you.
[04:44] Loewe
    Should this stone detonate, it will spell
    the end for the orcs in the slums.
[04:48] Loewe
    I'd rather give our accumulated
    wealth to someone
[04:51] Loewe
    who'd make good use of it
    than let it be plundered.
[04:53] Loewe
    I've heard that, while you demand
    high prices for your healing,
[04:57] Loewe
    you're willing to see children for free.
[04:59] Loewe
    I'm fond of children myself.
[05:06] Zenos
    And you ingested this mana stone recently?
[05:09] Loewe
    Yes.
[05:10] Zenos
    Scalpel.
[05:13] Orcs
    Hey...
[05:15] Zenos
    Don't move, now.
[05:16] Orcs
    Bastard!
[05:16] Orcs
    What do you think you're doing?!
[05:20] Loewe
    Wh-What did you just do?
[05:24] Zenos
    I opened your stomach to
    extract the mana stone.
[05:26] Zenos
    And then I healed it shut.
[05:29] Zenos
    Without a license, this is
    about all I can manage.
[05:32] Loewe
    The fact that you can do
    it at all is incredible...
[05:36] Loewe
    If you're not careful, it could detonate!
[05:38] Zenos
    Oh, right.
[05:48] Loewe
    N-Not so much as a scratch?!
[05:50] Zenos
    I protected my hands with defensive magic.
[05:52] Zenos
    It still hurt, though, so I had to heal them.
[05:55] Zenos
    We're done here.
[05:57] Zenos
    You can have the key back.
[06:00] Loewe
    Incredible. If you had stayed quiet, our
    entire fortune would have been yours.
[06:06] Zenos
    I only demand a price equal to
    the amount of work I need to do.
[06:08] Zenos
    That would've been too much in this case.
[06:13] Loewe
    I like you, Zenos the underground healer!
[06:16] Loewe
    You've earned a great debt
    from the orcish race today!
[06:18] Loewe
    Should you need our help,
    just call, and you'll have it!
[06:22] Zenos
    I'd really prefer you kept your distance.
[06:24] Loewe
    No need for modesty!
[06:25] Loewe
    We can provide around-the-clock
    security for your clinic, if you'd like!
[06:30] Zenos
    Seriously, don't!
[06:33] Loewe
    Anyway, the moment I relaxed,
    my appetite came back.
[06:35] Loewe
    Care to join me for some rice balls, Zenos?
[06:38] Zenos
    Maybe you could eat something else?
[06:45] Zenos
    What's got you making that sullen face?
[06:47] Lily
    Just thinking that Zophia, Lynga,
    and Loewe have been visiting a lot lately.
[06:53] Zenos
    Now that you mention it, I guess they have.
[06:56] Zenos
    Zophia on the day of the moon.
[06:58] Zenos
    Lynga on the day of water.
[07:00] Zenos
    Loewe on the day of gold.
[07:02] Zenos
    And they're never injured.
    Why do they bother?
[07:05] Lily
    Do you really have no idea at all, Zenos?
[07:09] Zenos
    They must really be bored.
[07:10] Lily
    I don't think that's it...
[07:13] Carmilla
    It sounds like love.
[07:15] Zenos
    How long have you been there?
[07:18] Carmilla
    These women are infatuated with you.
[07:21] Zenos
    What? Don't be ridiculous. There's no way.
[07:24] Zenos
    I'm a totally unremarkable underground
    healer who doesn't even have a license.
[07:27] Carmilla
    There's no fooling my eyes.
[07:29] Carmilla
    Whenever I watch from the ceiling,
[07:32] Carmilla
    their eyes betray their lovesickness.
[07:34] Carmilla
    You learn how to tell these
    things after living 300 years.
[07:36] Zenos
    Uh, you're not "living," though.
[07:38] Lily
    I'm kind of worried.
[07:41] Lily
    They're all so pretty...
[07:43] Zenos
    And they're all huge weirdos.
[07:46] Carmilla
    It's only a matter of time before the three
[07:49] Carmilla
    demihuman factions wage
    a war over Zenos, I'd say.
[07:53] Zenos
    That's absurd.
[07:54] Carmilla
    Lily, try and do your best
    to amuse me, like them.
[07:59] Lily
    B-But I'm only a kid.
[08:02] Lily
    I'm not sexy like them...
[08:07] Carmilla
    All maidens in love are beautiful.
[08:10] Lily
    Th-Thank you, Carmilla!
[08:13] Zenos
    The three demihuman leaders
    fighting over me?
[08:16] Zenos
    That's so ridiculous I can't even laugh.
[08:21] Zophia
    Doc, I'm thinking of declaring
    war on the others.
[08:24] Zophia
    Would you be willing to
    side with the lizardmen?
[08:27] Zenos
    Say what?
[08:28] Lily
    A war over Zenos...
[08:33] Lynga
    Sir Zenos! The time has come to
    settle things with the others.
[08:37] Lynga
    I want you to side with the werewolves!
[08:39] Zenos
    Uh, hang on...
[08:40] Loewe
    Zenos, the time has come to wipe out the—
[08:43] Zenos
    Okay, hold up!
[08:47] Zenos
    The fighting's supposed to begin at
    noon on the next day of ground...
[08:52] Carmilla
    All-out war between all three factions.
[08:55] Carmilla
    So many will die because
    of your womanizing ways.
[08:59] Zenos
    I really don't appreciate
    the way you put that.
[09:03] Zenos
    And what are you pouting about, Lily?
[09:15] Zophia
    You actually had the guts
    to show up only to die.
[09:18] Zophia
    Today we're gonna settle who
    deserves to be on top around here.
[09:22] Lynga
    That's so funny!
[09:23] Lynga
    Because you're about to find out how much
    Lynga has been taking it easy on you two.
[09:28] Loewe
    Such foolishness.
[09:30] Loewe
    Do you really think you'll be able to
    stand against orcs in mortal combat?
[09:32] Loewe
    You will both be dying today.
[09:36] Zeons
    Hold it right there!
[09:39] Loewe
    Zenos?
[09:39] Zophia
    Doc?
[09:39] Lynga
    Sir Zenos?
[09:41] Zenos
    Now, I'm not here to stop this fight.
[09:45] Zenos
    I know you three have long-standing
    grudges after years of conflict.
[09:49] Zenos
    So I want you to have it out
    until you're all satisfied.
[09:52] Zenos
    That's all I wanted to say.
[09:56] Zophia
    Looks like we've got Doc's approval.
[09:59] Zophia
    So let's go all-out.
[10:02] Zophia
    And whoever survives can
    claim him. What do you say?
[10:05] Lynga
    You're on! He's already
    Lynga's, in that case.
[10:08] Loewe
    Zenos's chastity will be mine!
[10:11] Lily
    Is that true, Zenos?
[10:14] Zenos
    That wasn't part of the deal, no.
[11:08] Lizardman
    What is it? They just won't stay down!
[11:11] Orc
    Doesn't matter how bad we beat
    them, they just keep getting up!
[11:15] Werewolf
    Pretty sure we've cut at
    least 30 of them down...
[11:19] Zophia
    What the...
[11:21] Zophia
    My wounds just healed.
[11:23] Zenos
    Like I said, I'm not here to stop your fight.
[11:27] Zenos
    You're free to keep going.
[11:28] Zenos
    But you're also my patients.
[11:32] Zenos
    So when you're hurt, I'm gonna heal you.
[11:34] Zenos
    I am an underground healer, after all.
[11:37] Zophia
    That explains it.
[11:39] Zophia
    Well, I sure feel like a fool after all that.
[11:43] Zophia
    I guess you've been working this
    entire time, haven't you, Doc?
[11:48] Lynga
    But I've never heard of a healer who
    could heal so many people instantly
[11:52] Lynga
    over such a long time!
[11:53] Loewe
    He told us to have at it, but I never
    thought he could heal us all...
[11:58] Loewe
    But at this rate, the fighting will never end.
[12:00] Zenos
    Exactly. There'll be no end to it.
[12:03] Zenos
    "He hit me, so I'll get revenge."
[12:06] Zenos
    "He kicked me, so I'll get revenge."
[12:09] Zenos
    It never ends.
[12:11] Zenos
    So do you want to keep going?
[12:13] Zenos
    Because if you do, I'm going to be right here.
[12:15] Zenos
    And rest assured, I will be
    getting paid for all this.
[12:23] Zophia
    He's got a point.
[12:24] Zophia
    There'll be no end to this.
[12:26] Zophia
    What are we even doing?
[12:29] Lynga
    It seems silly now.
[12:31] Lynga
    All we're doing is making ourselves tired.
[12:34] Loewe
    I honestly feel satisfied
    after all that fighting.
[12:41] Zophia
    It is what it is.
[12:42] Zophia
    And given what Doc just said,
    we might as well wrap this up for today.
[12:45] Lynga
    No objections from the werewolves!
[12:47] Loewe
    "Forgiveness is strength."
[12:49] Loewe
    An old orcish proverb.
[12:51] Zophia
    Sounds like we've only got one
    reason to fight going forward.
[12:55] Lynga
    Lynga has the advantage with that one!
[12:57] Loewe
    And that's the one battle I won't yield on.
[13:00] Zenos
    What do you think they're talking about?
[13:04] Lily
    You really are popular, Zenos...
[13:07] Lily
    Why'd you do this, though?
[13:11] Zenos
    There's something my mentor told me once.
[13:14] Zenos
    "A healer is third-rate if
    they just heal injuries,
[13:16] Zenos
    second-rate if they can
    wholly heal a person,
[13:18] Zenos
    and first-rate if they can
    make the world a better place."
[13:21] Lily
    What was your mentor like?
[13:24] Zenos
    A weirdo. But really impressive.
[13:28] Zenos
    Which is why, third-rate as I might be,
[13:30] Zenos
    I want to try to improve things in the slums.
[13:34] Lily
    That's so cool, Zenos!
[13:36] Zenos
    Or at least, that's what I'll say.
[13:38] Lily
    It's just talk?
[13:40] Zenos
    Think about it. They're all regular
    patients at our run-down clinic.
[13:44] Zenos
    We can't risk losing them over this nonsense.
[13:48] Lily
    You liar.
[13:49] Lily
    He knows that if everyone gets along,
[13:52] Lily
    there'll be fewer injuries,
    and fewer patients.
[13:59] Lily
    Hey, Zenos.
[14:00] Zenos
    What's up?
[14:02] Lily
    I like you, Zenos.
[14:05] Zenos
    I like you, too, Lily.
[14:09] Lily
    That's not what I mean when I say, "I like you"!
[14:11] Zenos
    Then what exactly do you mean?
[14:13] Lily
    N-Never mind!
[14:19] Zenos
    Well, time to get paid and go home.
[14:22] Lily
    You're still gonna charge them?
[14:24] Zenos
    Of course. Do you know how much work
    it is to heal this many people?
[14:29] Zenos
    That means I need to collect my fee.
[14:32] Lily
    You think Carmilla will be sad nobody died?
[14:35] Zenos
    Maybe. It'd serve her right, though.
[14:39] Lily
    I think... she'll actually be happy, though.
[14:50] Krishna
    You called for me, Division Commander?
[14:53] Commander
    I was waiting, Vice Commander Krishna.
[14:56] Krishna
    I wasn't expecting the summons.
    Has something happened?
[14:58] Krishna
    Yes. I've heard some
    concerning rumors lately.
[15:03] Krishna
    What rumors?
[15:04] Commander
    Apparently, the turf war between the
    demihumans of the slums has calmed down.
[15:09] Krishna
    But the lizardmen, werewolves, and orcs have
    been feuding over territory for years now.
[15:17] Krishna
    I have a hard time believing
    that it'd suddenly cool off.
[15:22] Commander
    But on the off-chance that it
    might be true, we can't ignore it.
[15:26] Commander
    The Kingdom of Herzeth has prospered
[15:29] Commander
    under its strict hierarchical system,
     with the royals at the top.
[15:33] Commander
    The citizens take out their
    frustrations on the poor.
[15:35] Commander
    And the poor take out their frustrations by
[15:37] Commander
    squabbling among themselves,
    specifically among different races.
[15:40] Commander
    That's how we maintain equilibrium.
[15:42] Commander
    But suppose the poor
    presented a united front...
[15:47] Krishna
    You believe they'd pose a threat to
    the citizens, the aristocracy...
[15:50] Krishna
    maybe even the ruling class?
[15:52] Commander
    Exactly.
[15:53] Commander
    The king is like the sun to our people,
[15:55] Commander
    and it is the duty of the royal order of knights
    to defend the capital where our ruler dwells.
[15:59] Krishna
    But Commander, the three demihuman
    races have been feuding for so long.
[16:05] Krishna
    There's no way such deep-seated
    grudges could be forgiven so easily.
[16:08] Commander
    The rumors say that a third
    party mediated between them.
[16:12] Krishna
    That seems even more implausible.
[16:15] Krishna
    Zophia the Tornado, Lynga the
    Tyrant, and Loewe the Mighty...
[16:19] Krishna
    They're dangerous, major
    figures in the underworld.
[16:22] Krishna
    I can't imagine an individual
    capable of corralling them.
[16:26] Commander
    I feel the same way.
[16:28] Commander
    But we can't ignore even the possibility
    that the rumors might be true.
[16:33] Krishna
    And that's why you called for me?
[16:36] Commander
    This is an issue that could
    threaten the state of our nation.
[16:40] Commander
    I can't leave that to the rank and file.
[16:42] Commander
    I want you, my vice commander, to handle this.
[16:45] Krishna
    I'll see to it, sir.
[16:47] Commander
    I'm counting on you, Iron Rose.
[16:50] Krishna
    If such an individual does exist,
    I will apprehend him.
[16:58] Lily
    Zenos—
[16:58] Lynga
    Sir Zenos! Is it a cold?
[17:00] Lynga
    Lynga can warm you up with her tail!
[17:02] Loewe
    That should be my job.
[17:05] Loewe
    My muscles are warmer than you'd think,
    plus there's my bosom to consider.
[17:09] Lily
    I... don't have a tail.
[17:14] Lily
    Or muscles...
[17:16] Lily
    Or... bosom.
[17:20] Lily
    I'm gonna put some tea on!
[17:22] Zenos
    You're all way too protective!
[17:24] Zenos
    It was just a sneeze.
[17:26] Zenos
    I'm trying to heal someone, so quiet down.
[17:31] Zophia
    Your healing will never
    cease to amaze me, Doc.
[17:35] Lily
    Come to think of it, you haven't needed
    healing in a while, huh, Zophia?
[17:39] Zophia
    Oh, come on, Lily!
[17:41] Zophia
    That makes it sounds like I'm always
    here when I'm not a patient!
[17:45] Zenos
    That is literally the case.
[17:47] Zophia
    Just so you know, I got this
    injury while I was working.
[17:52] Zenos
    Oh, right. You're a thief, aren't you?
[17:56] Zophia
    I'm pretty selective about
    my targets, but yeah...
[17:58] Zophia
    And the royal order of knights
    has their eye on us now.
[18:01] Zophia
    Had a bit of a scrap with them
    yesterday, which is how I got hurt.
[18:05] Zenos
    Come to think of it, you had
    both injured your arms before.
[18:09] Zenos
    Did the royal knights do that?
[18:11] Zophia
    Yeah, they did.
[18:13] Zophia
    One of 'em got me when we were
    sneaking into an aristocrat's manor.
[18:16] Zonde
    They got my arm, too, Sis.
[18:18] Zonde
    The crazy woman blasted me with
    that flame magic gun out of nowhere.
[18:22] Zenos
    A crazy woman?
[18:22] Zophia
    I think she's their vice commander?
[18:25] Zophia
    Some crazy chick they call the Iron Rose.
[18:29] Zophia
    She unleashes real hell, all with
    a blank expression on her face.
[18:32] Zenos
    The Iron Rose...
[18:36] Carmilla
    Imagine the trouble that getting
    her attention would cause,
[18:39] Carmilla
    especially with the surplus of
    dangerous women we already have.
[18:43] Lily
    I'm... the normal one, right?
[18:47] Zenos
    I doubt I have to worry.
[18:49] Zenos
    Why would the high and mighty royal knights
    care about some nobody underground healer?
[18:55] Carmilla
    My wraith's instinct is
    usually pretty accurate...
[18:58] Zenos
    No point in worrying about it.
[19:00] Zenos
    Lily, are you ready for lunch?
[19:03] Lily
    Yeah!
[19:04] Lily
    What do you want to eat, Zenos?
[19:06] Zophia
    I'd be down for a salad!
[19:08] Lynga
    Lynga wants fish!
[19:10] Loewe
    Are the two of you insane?
[19:11] Loewe
    Clearly, we're going to be having meat.
[19:15] Zenos
    For the record, I wasn't asking you three.
[19:17] Zenos
    And are you serious about eating here?
[19:35] Carmilla
    Well, I suppose I'll go upstairs and rest.
[19:39] Carmilla
    But keep in mind that you're likely
    the only one in all of the royal capital
[19:44] Carmilla
    capable of getting the slum's leaders in line.
[19:47] Zenos
    I feel like some kind of
    dangerous animal wrangler.
[19:50] Zenos
    I really hope we don't end up
    with any more troublesome guests.
[19:53] Carmilla
    "And with those words, Zenos the underground
    healer had sealed his own fate."
[19:58] Zenos
    Don't just drop ominous lines
    like that before floating off!
[20:11] Krishna
    Am I really in the slums?
[20:16] Krishna
    You there. Can I ask you something?
[20:18] Lizardman A
    Sure. What's up?
[20:20] Krishna
    I haven't been in the slums in a while,
[20:24] Krishna
    and things seem to have changed quite a bit.
[20:26] Krishna
    You're getting along awfully well
    with the werewolves and orcs.
[20:30] Lizardman A
    Well, it turns out they're not
    so bad once you get to know 'em.
[20:34] Krishna
    But there was so much bad
    blood before. What happened?
[20:38] Lizardman A
    Well, y'know...
[20:40] Lizardman A
    Look, I don't know who you are,
[20:43] Lizardman A
    so I can't really tell you about it.
[20:45] Lizardman A
    He's trying to keep a low profile, after all.
[20:48] Krishna
    A low profile?
[20:49] Lizardman A
    See ya.
[20:51] Krishna
    Hold it. You're going to talk.
[20:54] Krishna
    And no nonsense. Only answer
    the questions I ask you.
[20:57] Krishna
    Who's the mediator?
[20:59] Lizardman A
    I'm not telling you.
[21:01] Lizardman A
    We all owe him a lot.
[21:04] Lizardman A
    You can shoot me, but—
[21:05] Krishna
    This mediator has earned
    quite a bit of loyalty, then.
[21:08] Krishna
    So, who is he?
[21:08] Zonde
    Talk about amazing.
[21:11] Zophia
    Yeah, seriously.
[21:11] Lizardman A
    Boss!
[21:14] Krishna
    Starting trouble in enemy
    territory would be a bad idea.
[21:17] Krishna
    Their arms should've been injured
    beyond any hope of healing,
[21:21] Krishna
    but from that glimpse I got,
    they've fully recovered.
[21:26] Krishna
    How is that possible?
[21:29] Krishna
    And now, what do I do next?
[21:32] Krishna
    There are too many things I don't know.
[21:35] Krishna
    Like where I am.
[21:39] Zenos
    I'm getting chills for some reason.
[21:42] Krishna
    Pardon me. I could use some directions.
[21:45] Krishna
    I was in the slums, but before I knew it,
    I was in an abandoned part of the city.
[21:50] Zenos
    Yeah? That's rough.
[21:52] Krishna
    Yes, I'm afraid a bad sense of
    direction is my only real fault.
[21:56] Zenos
    Is that right?
[21:58] Krishna
    I noticed someone was in this house,
    so I decided to ask for help.
[22:01] Krishna
    Can you show me how to get back into town?
[22:04] Zenos
    Okay, in that case—
[22:05] Lily
    Zenos, do we have a patient?
[22:07] Zenos
    No, just someone who got lost.
[22:12] Krishna
    It seems I owe you thanks,
    albeit coincidentally.
[22:17] Lily
    The tea! Wait, no, Zenos!
[22:20] Lily
    Zenos!

[00:02] Krishna
    I never would've expected to run into
    another target in a place like this.
[00:06] Lily
    Zenos! Zenos?!
[00:10] Krishna
    While I'm working on a
    different, bigger case,
[00:13] Krishna
    I've also been investigating a string
    of children who've been kidnapped.
[00:17] Lily
    Zenos didn't...
[00:19] Krishna
    You're an elf child.
[00:21] Krishna
    But he is a human.
[00:23] Krishna
    That means you're not family.
[00:25] Krishna
    So I've finally found him.
[00:27] Krishna
    Clever trick, setting up shop in a desolate
    place like this where no one is around.
[00:31] Lily
    Y-You've got it all wrong!
[00:32] Lily
    Zenos took me in!
[00:34] Krishna
    Humanoid trafficking is illegal unless
    conducted through proper channels.
[00:37] Lily
    That's not what I meant!
[00:39] Lily
    Zenos saved me!
[00:42] Krishna
    What? Did I jump to conclusions?
[00:44] Lily
    You really did!
[00:46] Krishna
    Forgive me, then. That was a
    round for apprehending suspects.
[00:50] Krishna
    It shouldn't be lethal, but he
    won't be waking up for a while.
[00:53] Krishna
    I'm a perfectionist with my work,
[00:55] Krishna
    but my short temper is my only real fault.
[00:58] Zenos
    I thought you said your only real fault
    was having a bad sense of direction?

SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[02:38] Krishna
    What in the world?
[02:41] Krishna
    My sincere apologies.
[02:42] Krishna
    I seem to have jumped to conclusions.
[02:45] Krishna
    I'm relieved you're all right, but... how?
[02:47] Zenos
    I just used some defensive magic.
[02:49] Krishna
    You must be kidding.
[02:50] Krishna
    Defensive magic isn't capable
    of stopping my magic guns.
[02:54] Zenos
    I mean, as far as I know,
    it was ordinary defensive magic.
[02:57] Krishna
    Are you being serious?
[03:04] Krishna
    You're definitely unhurt.
[03:06] Krishna
    How is this possible?
[03:08] Krishna
    So many things today have
    been utterly inexplicable...
[03:10] Zenos
    Getting shot by someone I've never met
    before falls in that category for me.
[03:16] Krishna
    Are you some sort of
    renowned grand sorcerer?
[03:18] Krishna
    Devoting your heart and soul to
    defensive magic from an early age,
[03:22] Krishna
    mastering your field of study,
    earning you the name...
[03:24] Krishna
    "He Who Worked Hard at Defensive Magic."
[03:26] Zenos
    First, wrong. Second, your
    naming sense is terrible.
[03:29] Krishna
    My lack of naming talent is my only fault.
[03:33] Zenos
    That's another one, isn't it?
[03:34] Krishna
    That's the only explanation
    that makes sense, though.
[03:37] Krishna
    Though others may not be able to tell,
[03:39] Krishna
    there's no deceiving the eyes of Vice Commander
    Krishna of the Royal Order of Knights.
[03:44] Lily/Zenos
    Vice Commander... of the
    Royal Order of Knights?
[03:47] Krishna
    Indeed. I believe you are Mr. Zenos, yes?
[03:50] Krishna
    I'd appreciate it if you would
    cooperate with my investigation.
[03:55] Zenos
    I put up a signal for everyone to stay
    away, given the nature of the situation,
[03:59] Zenos
    so I don't think they'll
    waltz in here, but...
[04:02] Krishna
    I've actually come to the
    slums on a secret mission.
[04:06] Zenos
    Is that the kind of thing
    you should be sharing?
[04:09] Krishna
    My secret mission is to locate a certain
    individual and take them into custody.
[04:13] Zenos
    You're just laying it all out there, huh?
[04:15] Krishna
    I doubt I can gain your cooperation
    without sharing some degree of specifics.
[04:19] Zenos
    I never said anything about cooperating...
[04:22] Krishna
    It's the duty of every citizen to
    cooperate with the Order of Knights!
[04:25] Zenos
    I guess she doesn't listen, either.
[04:28] Zenos
    So, who are you looking for?
[04:31] Krishna
    The mediator.
[04:33] Krishna
    Whoever ended the feud between
    the factions in the slums.
[04:37] Krishna
    What's wrong?
[04:38] Zenos
    Oh, uh, it's nothing.
[04:41] Zenos
    You little...
[04:43] Krishna
    As a defender of order,
[04:44] Krishna
    I can't ignore the appearance of
    someone who wields that kind of power.
[04:49] Krishna
    But I was unable to get anything out of the
    demihumans, even after shaking them down.
[04:53] Krishna
    Whoever this person is, they're
    well-versed in how to control people...
[04:56] Krishna
    Such deeds no doubt mark him
    as a servant of the devil!
[04:59] Zenos
    A servant of the devil?
[05:01] Zenos
    The guy might just want
    to avoid the spotlight.
[05:05] Zenos
    Y'know, maybe he doesn't want attention?
[05:07] Zenos
    Maybe leaving him be and not looking
    too hard for him would be best.
[05:10] Krishna
    Do you know the mediator?!
[05:12] Zenos
    Nah, that's just my instinct talking!
[05:18] Krishna
    Someone with the power to unify
    the rival factions in the slums
[05:21] Krishna
    could pose a threat to the
    nation itself in time.
[05:26] Lily
    I don't think they're thinking
    of anything that big.
[05:31] Lily
    They might be kind of a stickler
    about money, but deep down,
[05:34] Lily
    I bet they just don't like
    seeing people get hurt.
[05:39] Zenos
    Lily...
[05:41] Krishna
    Do you know who the mediator is, elf girl?
[05:43] Lily
    N-N-Nope! I don't know a thing!
[05:49] Krishna
    No matter.
[05:51] Krishna
    I anticipated having trouble
    even finding his trail.
[05:54] Zenos
    Maybe it's time for you to go.
    I'll show you the way back to town.
[05:58] Krishna
    You seem to want me gone.
[06:00] Zenos
    W-Well, it's just... you've got
    an important mission, right?
[06:04] Krishna
    You have a point.
[06:06] Krishna
    I should be on my way.
[06:13] Krishna
    Why is there a bed down here?
[06:16] Zenos
    It's, uh, an extra bed. I brought
    it out here to throw it away.
[06:20] Krishna
    In that case... I'd appreciate
    you letting me use it.
[06:26] Krishna
    I've actually had trouble
    finding a base of operations.
[06:28] Krishna
    Here, I'll be close to the slums
    without attracting attention.
[06:31] Krishna
    It's ideal for my investigation.
[06:33] Krishna
    Of course, I will pay for my stay.
[06:35] Krishna
    I need to find the root of this new evil,
    the mediator, and capture him myself.
[06:40] Zenos
    From servant of the devil
    to the root of evil...
[06:43] Carmilla
    "And so, as had become
    so common at this point,
[06:46] Carmilla

[06:52] Lily
    It's nothing fancy, but...
[06:53] Krishna
    I appreciate it.
[06:56] Krishna
    Hot!
[06:58] Krishna
    Pardon me.
[06:59] Krishna
    My sensitivity to hot foods
    and drinks is my one fault.
[07:03] Zenos
    You have a lot of faults, huh?
[07:04] Krishna
    What are you saying?
    I only have one fault.
[07:08] Zenos
    I see...
[07:11] Zenos
    What's wrong, Lily?
[07:13] Lily
    Zenos, lap.
[07:20] Lily
    Zenos, my usual.
[07:22] Zenos
    Your usual?
[07:23] Lily
    My! Usual!
[07:35] Carmilla
    It's jealousy.
[07:36] Zenos
    Don't scare me like that!
[07:37] Krishna
    Something wrong?
[07:39] Zenos
    Uh, n-no, nothing.
[07:41] Krishna
    I see.
[07:42] Carmilla
    I've gone invisible and
    am whispering in your ear.
[07:46] Zenos
    Well, I wish you wouldn't.
    It's bad for my heart.
[07:48] Zenos
    So, why would Lily be jealous?
[07:51] Carmilla
    She's trying to demonstrate her advantage
    to this random new challenger!
[07:54] Carmilla
    "I'm much closer to Zenos than you are!"
[07:59] Carmilla
    She has no intention of accepting
    this oddly haughty woman
[08:02] Carmilla
    who blasted you at random with a magic gun!
[08:04] Carmilla
    To say nothing of the contrast between
    the dour attitude and the sensitive tongue!
[08:09] Carmilla
    But what can she do? What's her next move?
[08:12] Carmilla
    The bell is rung for this
    battle between women!
[08:14] Zenos
    Pipe down.
[08:16] Lily
    Zenos, your tea's still hot,
[08:19] Lily
    so I'll blow on it for you.
[08:21] Lily
    Zenos, your hair's sticking up.
[08:23] Lily
    I'll fix it for you.
[08:26] Lily
    Zenos, here's an apple.
[08:27] Lily
    I'll feed it to you!
[08:34] Lily
    I'll just have to use the secret
    weapon Carmilla taught me!
[08:40] Lily
    Zenos... T-Tonight,
[08:43] Lily
    I'm not going to let you sleep...
[08:49] Krishna
    She's sound asleep.
[08:51] Zenos
    Yeah.
[08:54] Lily
    I win...
[08:59] Zenos
    What is it?
[09:00] Krishna
    You said that elf girl had
    been caught by slave traders.
[09:04] Krishna
    Do you know who they are?
[09:06] Zenos
    No, I don't.
[09:08] Krishna
    I see.
[09:09] Krishna
    It seems like there's a hotbed for
    child trafficking around here.
[09:13] Zenos
    And that's why you shot me?
[09:16] Krishna
    I'm sorry about that.
[09:18] Krishna
    Having a short temper is my one fault.
[09:21] Zenos
    It really does sound like you have a
    lot of faults. Not that it matters.
[09:25] Krishna
    I am meant to be a perfect member of the
    royal guard, as well as a hero to the people.
[09:29] Krishna
    I am allowed to have, at most, one fault.
[09:33] Krishna
    I have a question.
[09:35] Krishna
    You're a master mage who has
    perfected defense magic, yes?
[09:38] Zenos
    Not at all.
[09:40] Krishna
    If someone was able to master healing
    magic the way you've mastered defense,
[09:44] Krishna
    would they be able to
    fully regenerate an arm?
[09:48] Zenos
    Uh, do other healers—
[09:48] Krishna
    No, it can't be possible.
[09:50] Krishna
    Not for anyone other than a Saint or a
    handful of the highest-level top-secret healers.
[09:55] Zenos
    What's it matter?
[09:56] Krishna
    In a fight with Zophia the Tornado,
[09:59] Krishna
    I did a fair amount of damage to her arm.
[10:02] Krishna
    Yet when I saw her and
    her minion in the slums,
[10:04] Krishna
    their arms were completely back to normal.
[10:06] Krishna
    If there's someone who can
    heal those kinds of wounds,
[10:10] Krishna
    their words might have real gravity.
[10:14] Krishna
    Well, I can begin my investigation
    in earnest tomorrow.
[10:18] Krishna
    I will arrest this agitator of the slums,
    and the original evil, the mediator.
[10:24] Zenos
    The original evil?
    These allegations keep leveling up...
[10:28] Zenos
    What makes you feel so
    threatened by the slums, anyway?
[10:31] Krishna
    It's not much of a story.
[10:34] Krishna
    My mother was killed by
    someone who lived there.
[10:39] Krishna
    She was a profoundly kind woman.
[10:42] Krishna
    She visited the slums
    daily to feed the hungry.
[10:48] Krishna
    And one day, she returned as a corpse.
[10:52] Krishna
    I was told it was a crime done
    to steal her wedding ring.
[10:56] Krishna
    She had saved so many from hunger,
[11:00] Krishna
    but no one was there to save her.
[11:03] Krishna
    That is why I decided that I would become
[11:05] Krishna
    an invincible hero
    capable of delivering justice
[11:09] Krishna
    to the criminals of the slums,
[11:11] Krishna
    so what happened to her would
    never happen to anyone else.
[11:13] Krishna
    I achieved distinction early on
[11:15] Krishna
    and became the youngest vice commander
    in the history of the Royal Knights.
[11:19] Krishna
    My unbendable will regarding my duties
    eventually earned me the nickname "Iron Rose."
[11:26] Krishna
    Some people seem to use it to suggest
    I'm unreasonable and don't listen,
[11:30] Krishna
    but I know the other thing
    attributed to that name.
[11:35] Krishna
    My face is like an iron
    mask, wouldn't you say?
[11:40] Krishna
    Ever since that day,
    I've had trouble smiling.
[11:50] Krishna
    I'll be back tonight, then.
[11:54] Carmilla
    Don't pay it any mind, Zenos.
[11:56] Carmilla
    Her story isn't that unusual.
[11:58] Carmilla
    When you live 300 years,
[12:00] Carmilla
    you witness all the ways a
    person's life can turn out.
[12:04] Zenos
    You came down just to say that?
[12:07] Zenos
    I appreciate it, Carmilla.
[12:10] Carmilla
    I'm just not fond of all
    this sentimental morbidity!
[12:13] Carmilla
    What about the flag?
[12:15] Zenos
    Well, I guess I'll take it down for now.
[12:19] Zenos
    Try to be more careful, okay?
[12:21] Zophia
    Sorry, Doc.
[12:23] Zophia
    By the way, one of my boys mentioned
    that the knight I told you about—
[12:26] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, I'm sorry, but I got lost and...
[12:31] Zophia
    Iron Rose! What are you doing here?!
[12:31] Zophia
    Zophia the Tornado, what are you doing here?!
[12:35] Zenos
    I-It's not what you think!
[12:37] Carmilla
    You sound like a husband caught cheating.
[12:39] Lily
    This lady says... sh-she got lost, too!
[12:43] Krishna
    She got lost and ended up here?
[12:45] Krishna
    She must be quite directionless.
[12:46] Zenos
    Yeah, you are.
[12:48] Zophia
    You heard the girl. There a problem?
[12:49] Zophia
    I just got lost and was
    asking for directions.
[12:53] Krishna
    What happened to your
    arm, Zophia the Tornado?
[12:57] Krishna
    I believe that it was the
    mediator who healed it.
[13:01] Krishna
    The person gathering up
    the criminal elements
[13:03] Krishna
    of the slums to threaten
    its innocent residents.
[13:07] Zophia
    Threaten the residents of the slums?
[13:10] Zophia
    I'm a two-bit rogue, so I probably
    don't have a leg to stand on here,
[13:13] Zophia
    but you can find crooks
    on all rungs of society.
[13:16] Krishna
    What are you getting at?
[13:17] Zophia
    I hear the Royal Knights are investigating
    the child trafficking ring,
[13:22] Zophia
    but did you know that their
    boss was an aristocrat?
[13:25] Krishna
    The child trafficking ring
    is centered in the slums.
[13:28] Zophia
    That's just where the rank and file
    operate to throw off the scent.
[13:31] Krishna
    I find that hard to believe.
[13:33] Zophia
    I bet.
[13:34] Zophia
    It's not like you'd ever
    listen to us, anyway.
[13:37] Krishna
    Who do you claim it is, then?
[13:39] Zophia
    Calendor.
[13:41] Krishna
    Even more ridiculous.
[13:43] Krishna
    He's a philanthropist who's
    passionate about educating orphans.
[13:46] Zophia
    The way you only look at the surface
    is what makes you easy to trick.
[13:50] Zophia
    Not the mediator, though.
[13:52] Zophia
    They never judged any of
    us because of our status
[13:55] Zophia
    or the way we look.
[13:56] Zophia
    All they ever did was save
    the people who needed it.
[14:00] Zophia
    Hell, as much as I hate to admit it,
[14:03] Zophia
    he'd probably save your life,
    too, if you were hurt.
[14:05] Zophia
    Just not for free.
[14:07] Zophia
    Nothing like you, who's convinced
    that all evil comes from the slums.
[14:11] Zophia
    Your idea of justice is a joke.
[14:14] Krishna
    How dare you?
[14:18] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, stand aside.
[14:20] Zenos
    Sorry, but that's not happening.
[14:22] Zenos
    Zophia is one of my patients.
[14:24] Krishna
    Patients?
[14:26] Krishna
    I'm sorry for not telling
    you sooner, Krishna.
[14:29] Krishna
    I'm the mediator.
[14:30] Krishna
    You're the mediator?
[14:33] Zenos
    Yeah.
[14:34] Krishna
    Inconceivable. The mediator
    is a master of healing magic.
[14:38] Krishna
    But your specialty is defensive magic.
[14:41] Krishna
    It'd be impossible to wield two
    schools of magic at such a high level.
[14:44] Zenos
    I'm not exactly a master, and both
    defense and healing are about
[14:47] Zenos
    amplifying the body's natural functions,
    so they're basically the same.
[14:51] Krishna
    I've never heard that kind of
    logic in any of my magic lessons.
[14:55] Krishna
    But one thing that's clear is that you've
    sided with the demihumans and the mediator.
[15:02] Krishna
    I'll find a different place to work from.
[15:04] Zenos
    Krishna...
[15:06] Krishna
    The people need a perfect hero.
[15:09] Krishna
    And I am no joke.
[15:16] Lily
    She's headed in the opposite
    direction from the slums...
[15:20] Zenos
    She could get lost on a one-way street.
[15:24] Zenos
    Wait, is she...
[15:29] Calendor
    A sudden visit from the Vice Commander of the
    Royal Order of the Knights is quite a surprise.
[15:35] Krishna
    Lord Calendor, are you aware that there have
    been thieves operating in this area as of late?
[15:40] Calendor
    I did hear something about
    a band of lizardman thieves.
[15:44] Krishna
    Yes. It is our intention to
    increase local security.
[15:48] Krishna
    We'd appreciate it if you and your
    fellow nobles would be more careful.
[15:55] Krishna
    As part of that, I'd like to do a
    security assessment of your manor.
[15:59] Calendor
    A splendid idea!
[16:02] Calendor
    That said, if you had told me beforehand,
    I could've been better prepared.
[16:06] Krishna
    Our intent is to get the best
    grasp of the usual level of security.
[16:09] Krishna
    I beg your pardon, but a surprise
    inspection would be more effective.
[16:14] Calendor
    Very well, then!
[16:17] Krishna
    Zophia the Tornado claimed Lord
    Calendor was the ringleader,
[16:21] Krishna
    but I'm wasting my time here.
[16:24] Calendor
    What do you say, Lady Krishna?
[16:26] Krishna
    Your security is quite thorough.
[16:28] Krishna
    If I had to point anything
    out, it'd be the distri—
[16:32] Calendor
    Is something wrong?
[16:34] Krishna
    No, not a thing.
[16:36] Krishna
    Would it be all right if I used your
    washroom before I take my leave?
[16:39] Calendor
    By all means.
[16:41] Krishna
    Lord Calendor sits somewhere in the
    upper-mid echelon of the aristocracy.
[16:45] Krishna
    GIven that, it's odd how much security he has.
[16:47] Krishna
    And then there's the distribution of it.
[16:49] Krishna
    The rear entrance seems to have
    a lot more guards than the front.
[16:54] Krishna
    It couldn't be...
[17:08] Krishna
    Oh, no.
[17:14] Girl
    Who's there? S-Someone scary?
[17:16] Krishna
    It's all right. I'm not here to hurt you.
[17:20] Girl
    Who are you?
[17:22] Krishna
    Me? I'm a hero, here to save you.
[17:31] Calendor
    The magic guns you royal knights
    use are quite powerful!
[17:36] Calendor
    This will be perfect for
    threatening the children, too.
[17:42] Calendor
    I can't say I appreciate a mere knight like
    you sniffing about the business of a noble.
[17:47] Calendor
    Your job is to stay quiet
    and keep the rabble in line!
[17:53] Calendor
    The flawless Iron Rose,
    reduced to a wounded heap!
[17:57] Krishna
    I'm sorry, children.
[18:01] Krishna
    Mother...
[18:02] Krishna
    I... wasn't able to be a real hero.
[18:07] Zophia
    Aw, damn, she's still alive?
[18:09] Zophia
    We should've taken a bit longer to get here.
[18:12] Krishna
    Zophia the Tornado?
[18:15] Krishna
    W-Why?
[18:16] Zenos
    This was a crazy move.
[18:18] Zenos
    You don't disappoint, and that's
    not meant as a compliment.
[18:22] Zenos
    I went out of my way for this house call.
[18:24] Zenos
    It's going to cost a lot, so brace yourself.
[18:27] Calendor
    Who are you people?!
[18:29] Zenos
    Don't worry about me.
[18:30] Zenos
    I'm just an unremarkable healer.
[18:31] Zophia
    And I just showed him the way.
[18:34] Calendor
    E-Enough comedy!
[18:35] Calendor
    You're a lizardman, right?
[18:38] Calendor
    No one will complain if I kill
    some thief from the slums.
[18:42] Calendor
    Now, stand down!
[18:51] Calendor
    Fool!
[18:52] Zenos
    That actually kinda hurt.
[18:54] Calendor
    What?!
[18:56] Calendor
    You... Wh-Why?! Why isn't it working?!
[19:00] Calendor
    Why?! Why?! Why?!
[19:11] Calendor
    What is this? What in the world are you?!
[19:17] Calendor
    A low-born dog like you dares to
    point that gun at an aristocrat?!
[19:21] Zenos
    I hear you shouldn't shoot at people
    unless you're prepared to be shot.
[19:24] Calendor
    W-Wait! I-I'll do whatever you
    want! Just lower the gun!
[19:29] Zenos
    Well, to be honest, we've just met,
[19:32] Zenos
    and it's not like I have some
    old grudge against you.
[19:35] Zenos
    The only thing I have against you is that
    you were blasting at me a second ago.
[19:38] Calendor
    F-Forgive me!
[19:41] Calendor
    And that's an apology from someone of
    my standing! Now, please, show mercy.
[19:45] Zenos
    Nope.
[19:46] Calendor
    Wh-Why?!
[19:48] Calendor
    I-I know! I just need to apologize
    to the woman, too, right?
[19:53] Calendor
    I was wrong.
[19:55] Calendor
    I got carried away when I fired
    on you. Please, forgive me.
[20:01] Zenos
    That was a pretty poor
    excuse for an apology,
[20:03] Zenos
    but I see someone else that you
    really ought to be apologizing to.
[20:07] Calendor
    A-And who would that be?!
[20:10] Zenos
    Since you can't seem to figure
    it out, you get punished.
[20:13] Zenos
    What did you think you were
    doing with my future patients?!
[20:21] Krishna
    Did you... kill him?
[20:24] Zenos
    The limiter was on, so he shouldn't be dead.
[20:26] Zenos
    It's not my duty to judge him anyway, right?
[20:30] Krishna
    It's... too late for me...
[20:34] Krishna
    Report what's happened...
    to the Royal Knights...
[20:36] Zenos
    Nah, that sounds like a lot of work.
[20:39] Zenos
    I'll let you take care of it.
[20:41] Zenos
    Your left arm, along with a chunk of
    your torso, and the organs to match.
[20:46] Zenos
    Such a defeated look after
    a little hit like this?
[20:49] Zenos
    So much for the Iron Rose.
[20:52] Zenos
    Don't be shocked when
    you get my invoice, okay?
[20:54] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos... Just who are you?
[20:58] Zenos
    Quiet. I'm trying to concentrate.
[21:01] Krishna
    You're a hero...
[21:02] Zenos
    Nothing that extravagant.
[21:04] Zenos
    I'm just an underground healer
    working out of a run-down clinic.
[21:10] Krishna
    Unbelievable.
[21:11] Krishna
    This kind of incredible healing...
[21:14] Krishna
    You really must be the mediator, Mr. Zenos.
[21:16] Zenos
    I literally told you that.
[21:18] Krishna
    I was no hero at all.
[21:21] Krishna
    I know now that a perfect
    hero is someone like you.
[21:25] Zenos
    There's no such thing as
    a perfect hero, anyway.
[21:28] Zenos
    People who fight for the sake of something
    are gonna get hurt, one way or another.
[21:32] Zenos
    That's why they need healers like me.
[21:34] Zenos
    Or so I was taught, anyway.
[21:37] Zenos
    I think, to them, you're the hero here.
[21:40] Krishna
    Them?
[21:42] Girl
    Wh-What happened?
    Is the hero lady still there?
[21:47] Zenos
    You were the first one to take action.
[21:49] Zenos
    That makes you the hero in this case.
[21:51] Krishna
    I'm... I...
[21:56] Krishna
    K-Kids! It's all right! I'm still okay!
    I'll get you out of there soon!
[22:02] Kids
    Thank you, hero!
[22:05] Krishna
    All this time, I thought my
    mother was a pitiable victim.
[22:08] Krishna
    But... her eyes were always shining.
[22:12] Krishna
    She would feed the children of the slums
    with food that she made herself.
[22:16] Zenos
    Yeah. Just like you're a hero to these kids,
[22:20] Zenos
    I bet she was someone's hero, too.
[22:23] Krishna
    My mother was... awkward, panicky,
    short-tempered, forgetful,
[22:30] Krishna
    and full of faults, really...
[22:33] Krishna
    But still... in spite of it all,
    I know for a fact that she was my hero.
[22:48] Zophia
    Doc, the royal knights are gonna
    catch on to the fuss any time now.
[22:52] Zenos
    Yeah. It's time for us to
    slink back into the shadows.
[22:55] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos!
[23:00] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos, why did you save me?
[23:04] Zenos
    Unpaid bills.
[23:07] Zenos
    You said you were gonna pay for
    using the clinic's bed, remember?
[23:10] Zenos
    If you got yourself killed,
    I wouldn't be able to collect.
[23:13] Zenos
    I'm adding the fee for healing you to the
    cost. Make sure you pay it all back at once.
[23:17] Krishna
    The money I owed you...
[23:28] Zenos
    Looks like you can smile after all.
[23:31] Krishna
    I see. I'm smiling now, huh?
[23:36] Zenos
    Still looks pretty awkward, though.
[23:38] Zophia
    Hell, I think it makes
    you look even creepier.
[23:42] Krishna
    Wh-What do you want?
[23:43] Krishna
    It's been a long time since I've smiled.
[23:46] Krishna
    Not being good at it is my only...
[23:49] Krishna
    No...
[23:51] Krishna
    Just one of my many faults!

[00:03] Lily
    Zenos, I'm looking forward
    to buying some new tea!
[00:06] Zenos
    Yeah? Well, I'm looking
    forward to you making it.
[00:32] (Flashback) Aston
    Hey. What are you doing?
[00:35] (Flashback) Zenos
    Nothing.
[00:37] (Flashback) Aston
    Well, if you're not doing anything,
    how about adventuring with us?
[00:42] (Flashback) Aston
    It's not like you've got
    anywhere else to be, right?
[00:45] (Flashback) Zenos
    I heard people from the slums
    couldn't become adventurers.
[00:48] (Flashback) Aston
    Normally, yeah.
[00:50] (Flashback) Aston
    But I think that if you're
    motivated and have the skills,
[00:53] (Flashback) Aston
    then your status doesn't matter.
[00:55] (Flashback) Aston
    Is there anything you can do?
[00:58] (Flashback) Zenos
    I know a bit of healing magic.
[01:01] (Flashback) Aston
    Healing magic?
[01:04] (Flashback) Aston
    Poor folks can't afford
    that kind of education.
[01:06] (Flashback) Aston
    There's no way.
[01:08] (Flashback) Aston
    Well, you can join our party.
[01:11] (Flashback) Aston
    I don't expect you to contribute much.
[01:14] (Flashback) Aston
    I just really want a slave.
[01:38] Aston
    These kinds of creatures are nothing to me.
[01:42] Aston
    But, man...
[01:44] Aston
    He really is useless. Like lugging
    a bunch of baggage around.
[01:50] Aston
    It's about time...
[01:54] (Flashback) Aston
    We don't need you anymore.
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[03:29] Aston
    Why's this damn place so far out of the way?
[03:32] Aston
    I know this is our chance to
    earn points with one of
[03:35] Aston
    the seven great nobles,
    but it feels like a waste of energy.
[03:39] Guile
    I'm still feeling the wine from last night...
[03:41] Yuma
    The sooner we wrap this up, the
    sooner we can get back to drinking.
[03:45] Andres
    Sounds good.
[03:46] Andres
    Did you see the way the bar maid's eyes lit up
    when we said we were the Golden Phoenix?
[03:51] Aston
    Looks like slaying multiple magic beasts
    without taking so much as a scratch
[03:55] Aston
    has made us big news,
    even all the way out in the sticks.
[04:00] Aston
    There they are.
[04:07] Aston
    Let's kill these things and get
    their hides to Lord Fennel!
[04:13] Aston
    Guile, just to be safe,
    whip up some defensive magic!
[04:16] Guile
    You got it!
[04:18] Guile
    Come forth, force!
[04:19] Guile
    Become an unyielding shield to repel all that
    would do harm, as the spirit of lofty aspiration!
[04:25] Guile
    Encase!
[04:29] Aston
    Your pitiful attacks aren't gonna...
[04:33] Aston
    It burns!
[04:35] Aston
    What the hell?!
[04:39] Aston
    Andres, hurry up with the attack magic!
[04:42] Andres
    I-I am! I hereby defy the laws of
    creation and shake the foundation of—
[04:46] Aston
    Useless fool! Maybe I oughta fire him, too!
[04:51] Aston
    Guile! Where's the damn defense magic?!
[04:54] Guile
    I-I'm casting it! But it doesn't
    seem to be working well...
[04:57] Aston
    Because you're hungover?!
    Are you kidding me?!
[05:01] Aston
    Damn it, they're all worthless!
[05:04] Aston
    No other choice. We're pulling out for now!
[05:11] Aston
    How the hell were you struggling
    against magic beasts rated only B+?!
[05:15] Andres
    You weren't doing much, either!
[05:19] Guile
    Look, I'm just throwing it out there,
[05:21] Guile
    but Zenos couldn't have actually been
    using healing magic on us, right?
[05:25] Aston
    There's no way in hell.
[05:27] Aston
    Still, maybe we should hire a healer...
[05:31] Aston
    The real deal, and not some
    worthless peasant like Zenos.
[05:41] Aston
    It took us ten days to get here.
[05:43] Aston
    You said your name was Umin, right?
    You'd better make yourself useful.
[05:47] Umin
    I wouldn't expect too much.
[05:49] Umin
    I normally heal in the capital.
[05:52] Umin
    I just happen to have an adventuring license.
[05:55] Umin
    I'm curious as to why the Golden Phoenix, who
    are famous for coming out of battle unscathed,
[06:00] Umin
    would need the support of a
    mid-ranked healer like myself.
[06:04] Aston
    A lot's happened, all right?
[06:07] Guile
    Hey, is Yuma gonna be okay?
[06:10] Umin
    Your archer friend?
[06:12] Umin
    He should survive, but I don't think
    he'll be adventuring ever again.
[06:17] Aston
    That just proves he wasn't
    Golden Phoenix material.
[06:22] Aston
    The loss of an archer
    won't make a difference.
[06:24] Aston
    Guile defends, I attack,
[06:27] Aston
    and Andres uses attack magic for the kill.
[06:30] Aston
    Lord Fennel wants a scarf made of firefox
    fur for his daughter's birthday present.
[06:37] Aston
    And I am not missing my chance to
    get in good with the upper crust!
[06:45] Aston
    I'll cut 'em in two with my
    treasured sword, Hunber!
[06:49] Aston
    What?!
[06:50] Aston
    An ambush?
[06:54] Aston
    Guile! Defenses!
[07:07] Umin
    Mr. Andres!
[07:09] Aston
    Defensive magic is no reason
    to get careless, damn it!
[07:13] Aston
    Why can't I hit them?! Why?!
[07:18] Aston
    My body feels sluggish. But why—
[07:20] Umin
    Hey!
[07:21] Umin
    Mr. Andres is going to be in real
    trouble without proper healing!
[07:25] Aston
    Why? Why?!
[07:25] Guile
    What's the call, Aston?!
[07:27] Umin
    You can't be serious about continuing this!
[07:28] Aston
    Why?! Why isn't it working?!
[07:33] Aston
    Are you even trying?!
[07:34] Umin
    The defensive magic was in effect!
[07:37] Umin
    If it wasn't, he would've died on impact.
[07:40] Aston
    Well, a fat lot of good it does
    if he still gets hurt so bad!
[07:42] Aston
    You're a healer, so heal him already!
[07:45] Umin
    I have to cast and enchant the spell
    based on the condition of injury!
[07:49] Umin
    I've done what I can for now,
[07:51] Umin
    but he needs to be taken to a hospital with
    specially prepared magic circles, and soon!
[07:55] Aston
    We don't have time for that.
     Fix him right now.
[07:58] Umin
    Do you even realize what you're asking?
[08:01] Umin
    Even the upper echelon of healers couldn't
    restore him in this environment.
[08:04] Umin
    The only ones capable of that are a select
    few elite healers, or maybe a Saint.
[08:11] Aston
    We've been taking damage
    ever since I kicked him out.
[08:15] Aston
    But it can't be that...
[08:16] Aston
    Hey, could there be someone
    capable of this elite healing magic,
[08:21] Aston
    but without a healing license?
[08:23] Umin
    It's hard to imagine, but... do you
    have reason to believe there is?
[08:27] Aston
    What am I even saying?
[08:29] Aston
    There's no way that peasant
    could've done all that.
[08:32] Aston
    I'm overthinking it.
[08:33] Aston
    He was just the party's slave.
[08:40] Fennel
    It seems I was a fool for
    placing my hopes in your group.
[08:43] Fennel
    Begone, and don't darken
    my doorstep ever again.
[08:47] Aston
    P-Please, just hang on!
[08:49] Aston
    Let me speak to Lord Fennel directly!
[08:51] Messenger
    I'm afraid milady's birthday
    has already passed.
[08:55] Messenger
    What could you possibly say at this point?
[08:58] Aston
    But—
[08:58] Messenger
    Sir Aston.
[09:00] Messenger
    Lord Fennel's disappointment is not rooted
    entirely in your failed hunting attempts.
[09:06] Messenger
    If you had judged the task impossible
    and reported it as such,
[09:09] Messenger
    he could've avoided the
    embarrassment of having nothing
[09:13] Messenger
    prepared for his daughter's birthday.
[09:15] Aston
    How am I supposed to say "no" when it's a
    chance to get in with a big-shot aristocrat?!
[09:20] Aston
    I-It's not like that! We had a traitor!
[09:23] Aston
    That bastard Zenos got in our way!
[09:24] Messenger
    Zenos?
[09:26] Aston
    That's right. I never gave Zenos's name
    to make sure no one found out
[09:31] Aston
    that someone from the
    slums was in the party!
[09:34] Aston
    I-It's nothing, sir.
[09:36] Aston
    Please, just give us another chance!
[09:40] Aston
    I can't believe I'm having to bow
    my head to a damned servant!
[09:44] Messenger
    And what, pray tell, can a party with only
    half its members intact do to make amends?
[09:49] Aston
    You don't have to worry about that!
[09:51] Aston
    We'll be recruiting members
    to make up for the losses soon.
[09:54] Aston
    Next time, we'll be sure to get the job done!
[10:01] Guile
    Hey, are you sure you
    should've said all that?
[10:04] Guile
    We don't have any leads yet.
[10:06] Aston
    Don't worry about it.
[10:07] Aston
    There was one other member
    of the party, remember?
[10:10] Aston
    Our slave.
[10:12] Guile
    You mean Zenos?
[10:13] Aston
    He'll be desperate to get back with us.
[10:15] Aston
    He'll be weeping with gratitude
    the moment I offer.
[10:18] Guile
    That's a great idea, Aston!
[10:20] Aston
    I don't believe Zenos was
    keeping this party going.
[10:23] Aston
    I refuse to believe it.
[10:25] Aston
    But the fact is, everything was
    going smoothly with him around.
[10:29] Aston
    I'll use him like I did when we started out
    and regain all the fame that we've lost.
[10:34] Aston
    The phoenix will rise again!
[10:38] Aston
    I'm coming to get you personally.
[10:41] Aston
    Be grateful, Zenos.
[10:46] BG Characters{unmarked ad}
    You doing anything?
[10:46] BG Characters{unmarked ad}
    Not a thing.
[10:47] BG Characters{unmarked ad}
    Come on, I'm not asking that much.
[10:53] Guile
    Hey, I'm starting to think Zenos might've
    already died in a ditch somewhere.
[10:57] Aston
    Nah, he might still be alive.
[10:59] Aston
    I did give him that gold
    coin as severance pay.
[11:03] Aston
    I could almost cry at the thought
    of how generous I was.
[11:06] Guile
    The slums aren't exactly small, though.
[11:09] Guile
    How do we find him?
[11:10] Aston
    I've got the perfect idea for that.
[11:12] Aston
    We hire the three demihuman
    bosses to help find him.
[11:17] Aston
    Crooks like that are always
[11:19] Aston
    on top of everything that
    goes on in the slums.
[11:21] Guile
    That makes sense! Good idea, Aston.
[11:26] Lizardman
    Boss, this human wants to hire us.
[11:30] Zophia
    A job?
[11:32] Zophia
    I'm kinda busy, y'know.
    I was about to go see the doc.
[11:37] Aston
    Damn, she's fine.
[11:39] Aston
    Wouldn't mind having her in my
    harem once I become an aristocrat.
[11:43] Aston
    I'm Aston, the leader of the Golden
    Phoenix, a gold-class adventuring party.
[11:49] Zophia
    That's an awful lot of qualifications.
[11:52] Zophia
    Sun's gonna set before you're
    done introducing yourself.
[11:54] Zophia
    Let's get down to business already.
[11:57] Aston
    I want you to find someone for me.
[11:59] Aston
    A man named Zenos.
[12:01] Aston
    He would've made his way into
    the slums about two months ago.
[12:08] Zophia
    Oh, I see what this is!
[12:10] Zophia
    You're the idiots who kicked
    the doc out of your party!
[12:14] Zophia
    You certainly look dumb enough.
[12:17] Aston
    Say what?!
[12:20] Zophia
    Run on home.
[12:22] Zophia
    The person you're looking for has better
    things to do than put up with your nonsense.
[12:27] Zophia
    And frankly, so do I.
[12:29] Aston
    Who do you think you're talking to?!
[12:33] Zophia
    And do you realize who you're talking to?
[12:37] Aston
    This is a waste of time!
[12:40] Guile
    What was that, Aston?!
[12:42] Aston
    How should I know?!
[12:45] Lynga
    Oh, so you're the party that was
    stupid enough to kick Sir Zenos out!
[12:50] Lynga
    Lynga thinks you'd be better off dying
    and reincarnating as toilet roaches.
[12:55] Aston
    You know Zenos, too?
[12:58] Lynga
    Sir Zenos has no business
    with toilet roaches.
[13:00] Lynga
    If you know what's good for
    you, you'll run on home.
[13:02] Aston
    Say what?!
[13:04] Lynga
    You wanna go?
[13:06] Lynga
    Lynga has no time for toilet roaches, either.
[13:08] Aston
    Damn it!
[13:10] Guile
    What is going on?!
[13:15] Loewe
    Oh? So you're the trash that kicked Zenos out?
[13:20] Loewe
    What business do you have
    with him after all this time?
[13:25] Guile
    Wh-Who do you think—
[13:26] Aston
    Stop talking, Guile.
[13:29] Loewe
    Hey. If I find out you've
    been harassing Zenos...
[13:32] Loewe
    We orcs won't take too kindly
    to that sort of thing.
[13:36] Guile
    Aston...
[13:37] Aston
    Not a word!
[13:38] Aston
    The three leaders of the demihuman
    gangs all love Zenos?
[13:42] Aston
    That can't be right! It must be someone else!
[13:46] Aston
    Some other guy named Zenos!
[13:48] Aston
    There's no way that peasant
    has this kind of sway!
[13:53] Guile
    H-Hey, Aston...
[13:58] Aston
    Zenos!
[14:00] Zenos
    This way, Lily.
[14:02] Lily
    Wait up, Zenos! I'm still having
    trouble learning the streets.
[14:07] Zenos
    The slums can be kind of
    complicated in terms of layout.
[14:09] Lily
    I'm surprised you know them so well.
[14:12] Lily
    Is it because you used to live here?
[14:14] Aston
    Hey! Zenos!
[14:18] Zenos
    Is that you, Aston? And Guile?
[14:21] Aston
    You're damn right it is.
[14:23] Aston
    Looks like you managed to
    survive somehow, Zenos.
[14:27] Zenos
    What brings you to the slums?
[14:29] Aston
    Good question. Care to guess?
[14:32] Zenos
    Not really, no.
[14:34] Zenos
    Well, I'm kind of busy, so...
[14:36] Aston
    G-Get back here!
[14:39] Aston
    I came for you, damn it!
[14:41] Zenos
    What?
[14:42] Aston
    I was looking for you!
[14:44] Zenos
    Why?
[14:45] Aston
    Congratulations! I'm going to let
    you rejoin the Golden Phoenix!
[14:49] Zenos
    No, thanks.
[14:49] Aston
    Don't go bawling in gratitude—
[14:52] Aston
    Wait, what?!
[14:53] Aston
    Did I hear that right?!
    Did you turn me down?!
[14:57] Zenos
    Yeah, I did.
[14:58] Aston
    Why?!
[14:59] Zenos
    You even have to ask?
[15:00] Zenos
    Unreasonable treatment and next to no pay.
    There's basically nothing in it for me.
[15:05] Zenos
    Wouldn't most people say "no"?
[15:06] Aston
    That's not what I mean! I'm offering
    you a chance to come back! Me!
[15:10] Zenos
    Look, if you're that desperate,
[15:12] Zenos
    I don't mind accompanying you on a
    quest when I have some free time.
[15:17] Zenos
    But you'll actually pay me this time, right?
[15:18] Aston
    Huh? What are you even—
[15:20] Zenos
    50,000 wen for every healing.
[15:23] Zenos
    A million for critical injuries.
[15:25] Zenos
    Triple that cost if you need
    defensive and buff magic.
[15:28] Zenos
    Don't expect a discount.
[15:30] Aston
    Who do you think you are?!
[15:31] Aston
    It's not like you have a
    place around here, either!
[15:35] Lizardman
    Dr. Zenos! How ya doing?
[15:38] Zenos
    Hey. How's your leg feeling?
[15:40] Lizardman
    Pretty great, thanks to you!
[15:42] Zenos
    Glad to hear it.
[15:44] Kid A
    Zenos, come play with us!
[15:46] Kid B
    Who are those strangers?
[15:49] Adult A
    Hey, Doc!
[15:50] Adult A
    Appreciate you always patching me up.
[15:53] Aston
    Hey!
[15:53] Lily
    Zenos, these old guys are pretty noisy, huh?
[15:57] Aston
    I am not old!
[15:59] Zenos
    Well, let's head on back.
[16:01] Aston
    Are you serious about not coming back?!
[16:04] Aston
    When it's me making the offer?!
[16:07] Aston
    I was the one who took you in!
    Gave you a place to belong!
[16:11] Aston
    It was all me!
[16:12] Zenos
    Sorry, Aston,
[16:14] Zenos
    but it's too late.
[16:20] Aston
    Don't you ignore me.
[16:22] Aston
    Get back here, Zeno—
[16:26] Krishna
    Bold of you to attack someone
    right in front of me.
[16:30] Krishna
    The royal knights can't overlook that.
[16:33] Zenos
    Huh? What brings you around, Krishna?
[16:36] Krishna
    I came to see you.
[16:38] Zenos
    But... I don't live around here.
[16:41] Krishna
    I got lost.
[16:42] Krishna
    That said, I managed to run into you, so my
    lack of direction has paid off this time.
[16:46] Zenos
    That's one way of looking at it.
[16:50] Aston
    She's supposed to be the youngest vice
    commander in the history of the royal knights...
[16:54] Aston
    So why is she so friendly with Zenos?
[16:57] Aston
    Just what are you?!
[17:01] Krishna
    Now, I'm taking you to the nearest
    station for attempted assault.
[17:06] Aston
    It's not like that! I didn't
    want to, but he forced me!
[17:12] Aston
    Don't you... Don't you ignore me,
[17:15] Aston
    Zenos!
[17:19] Zophia
    Come to think of it, the crew that kicked
    Doc out came calling on me the other day.
[17:24] Lynga
    They came to see Lynga, too.
[17:26] Lynga
    And they really did look stupid.
[17:28] Loewe
    I had an encounter with
    this trash party, as well.
[17:32] Zenos
    You three don't hold back, huh?
[17:35] Zophia
    I had a bad feeling, so I asked
    some of my boys to watch them,
[17:40] Zophia
    but they lost the trail.
[17:42] Lynga
    Same for Lynga. Even werewolves'
    noses have lost their scent.
[17:46] Loewe
    They've managed to stay out of
    the net cast by my orcs, as well.
[17:50] Lily
    Maybe they just went home?
[17:52] Zophia
    That'd be great, but if they went digging
    even deeper, we might be in for trouble.
[17:57] Lily
    Deeper?
[17:59] Carmilla
    She means the underground guild.
[18:00] Lily
    The underground guild?
[18:02] Zophia
    It's a guild that handles illegal tasks.
[18:05] Loewe
    The true bottom of the depths, which even
    our demihuman gangs don't trifle with.
[18:08] Lynga
    They'll do anything for the right price,
[18:12] Lynga
    which is why Lynga hates them.
[18:13] Zophia
    Drug deals, assassination,
    revenge by proxy...
[18:19] Lily
    Then if those loud old men go to the
    underground guild and ask for something bad...
[18:24] Zenos
    You need a lot of money to hire people
    through the underground guild.
[18:27] Carmilla
    Indeed. And if he bothered
    to seek you out, Zenos,
[18:31] Carmilla
    I'd wager this fellow's
    finances are rather depleted.
[18:35] Carmilla
    Which would mean he can't
    afford that kind of trouble.
[18:38] Lily
    Th-That's a relief.
[18:40] Lily
    Then we don't have to worry...
[18:43] Lily
    Zophia?
[18:44] Zophia
    Well, I was remembering how
    I've been hearing about someone
[18:48] Zophia
    who will take jobs under certain
    conditions, even without pay.
[18:52] Zophia
    I think they called themselves... the Guide.
[18:59] Lily
    Can't sleep?
[19:01] Zenos
    Lily? You're still awake?
[19:04] Lily
    I was asleep. But when I woke up,
    I saw the lights were on...
[19:09] Lily
    Want some tea? Or would that
    make it even harder to sleep?
[19:14] Zenos
    Actually, I would like some.
[19:25] Lily
    How is it?
[19:26] Zenos
    As good as always. I appreciate it.
[19:36] Zenos
    What?
[19:37] Lily
    When I can't sleep, you stroke my head.
    I'm returning the favor.
[19:42] Zenos
    Then I think I'll get a good
    night's sleep after all.
[20:01] Carmilla
    Unable to sleep, Zenos?
[20:04] Zenos
    You're up, too?
[20:05] Carmilla
    Well, there were three cups of tea prepared.
[20:08] Carmilla
    How could I refuse?
[20:10] Carmilla
    Has this run-in with your old
    party kept you from sleeping?
[20:15] Zenos
    What, you're worried about me?
[20:17] Zenos
    At the end of the day, you're
    actually pretty nice, Carmilla.
[20:20] Carmilla
    Enough mockery!
[20:21] Carmilla
    That's not the case, anyway!
[20:23] Carmilla
    There's little to do at night, so I figured
    I could go for a bit of conversation, that's all!
[20:28] Zenos
    Okay, sorry.
[20:29] Zenos
    This is too much tea for just me,
    so I'd appreciate you joining in.
[20:32] Carmilla
    In that case, I see no
    reason to turn you down.
[20:38] Zenos
    I'd honestly forgotten
    about Aston and the others.
[20:42] Zenos
    But after being reminded like that,
    I kind of regret not slugging them.
[20:47] Zenos
    That said, I was actually
    thinking a bit further back.
[20:51] Carmilla
    Zenos, you've said you learned healing
    magic while living in the slums.
[20:57] Carmilla
    How is that possible?
[20:59] Zenos
    I was trying to revive a corpse,
    and it came with the territory.
[21:04] Carmilla
    That's forbidden sorcery.
[21:05] Zenos
    Yeah. But when I was a kid, I didn't know
    anything about resurrection or the like.
[21:09] Zenos
    My teacher popped me on the head for it.
[21:13] Carmilla
    You know, it's not exactly the same thing,
[21:17] Carmilla
    but when I was among the living,
    there was such a thing as artificial life...
[21:20] Carmilla
    The sorcery to create golems.
[21:22] Zenos
    Three hundred years ago, huh?
[21:24] Zenos
    That would've been during the Man-Fiend War,
    back when the Demon Lord was still around.
[21:28] Carmilla
    It's a form of lost demon sorcery.
[21:32] Carmilla
    They use a special kind
    of magic stone as a core,
[21:33] Carmilla
    then add carbon and sulfur, among other
    ingredients, to create the golem.
[21:38] Zenos
    Huh.
[21:38] Carmilla
    The way they felt no pain or fear
[21:42] Carmilla
    and worked tirelessly on their
    tasks made them quite dreadful.
[21:47] Zenos
    What were you up to three
    hundred years ago, anyway?
[21:52] Carmila
    It was so long ago, I've forgotten.
[21:55] Zenos
    You really don't like to
    talk about yourself, huh?
[21:58] Zenos
    Well, I guess we should clean up...
[22:02] Zenos
    What was that?
[22:04] Carmilla
    It came from the slums.
[22:06] Carmilla
    Wait just a moment.
[22:17] Carmilla
    Unbelievable...
[22:19] Carmilla
    We were just talking about it,
[22:22] Carmilla
    and now a golem is rampaging in the slums?

[00:03] Guide
    They told you about me because you
    couldn't afford their fees, right?
[00:07] Guide
    Sure, it's fine. I'm not
    doing this just for money.
[00:13] Guide
    Oh, me?
[00:14] Guide
    You can just call me the Guide.
[00:18] Guide
    I see. So, simply put, you're looking
    to hire someone to get revenge for you.
[00:23] Guide
    And not just on one person,
    but also on his associates.
[00:27] Guide
    Could you tell me why?
[00:30] Guide
    Yes, I do need to know.
[00:33] Guide
    The folks at the Underground Guild aren't
    particular as long as they get paid,
[00:38] Guide
    but I put a lot of value on motivation.
[00:42] Guide
    If you don't want to discuss it,
    we'll just say the deal fell through.
[00:48] Guide
    You changed your mind, then?
[00:52] Guide
    Well, that's certainly selfish!
[00:55] Guide
    It's not even revenge. You're just
    taking your frustrations out on him!
[00:58] Guide
    You probably don't have any friends, do you?
[01:00] Guide
    But you know, I like that.
[01:04] Guide
    Very well. I'm willing to help.
[01:07] Guide
    I've been working on this lately, and you've
    provided the perfect chance to test it.
[01:12] Guide
    And I'll be able to fulfill
    your request at the same time.
[01:16] Guide
    Now, would you mind telling me your name?
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[03:11] Zenos
    That's a golem?
[03:13] Carmilla
    It's inexplicable.
[03:14] Zenos
    You scared me! I guess you came out, too?
[03:17] Carmilla
    My curiosity got the better of me.
[03:19] Carmilla
    How could an ancient relic
    have possibly ended up here?
[03:23] Zenos
    And Lily?
[03:24] Carmilla
    Still asleep.
[03:25] Carmilla
    If she saw that monstrosity,
    it'd give her nightmares.
[03:28] Carmilla
    It's for the best.
[03:30] Zophia
    Doc!
[03:31] Zenos
    Good to see you guys are all right.
[03:34] Zophia
    What a relief. We were on our way to get you.
[03:37] Zophia
    We're fine, but...
[03:40] Lynga
    Many of Lynga's werewolves are
    hurt so bad, they can't move.
[03:46] Loewe
    About half of the orcs are
    seriously injured, as well.
[03:49] Loewe
    What in the world is that creature?
[03:52] Loewe
    Even I can't eat all of that.
[03:55] Zenos
    Just calm down, you three.
[03:57] Zenos
    It seems to be some kind of artificial
    lifeform from a long time ago.
[04:00] Carmilla
    Sorcery that was thought to be lost.
[04:03] Zenos
    Do you know where it came from?
[04:05] Loewe
    I do not. One of my orcs said they saw
    it coming from deeper in the slums.
[04:10] Zenos
    Deeper in the slums?
[04:13] Zenos
    Could it be the Underground Guild?
[04:15] Zenos
    No, now's not the time to speculate.
[04:18] Zenos
    Zophia, Lynga, Loewe.
[04:21] Zenos
    I need you all to work together
    and gather the injured in one spot.
[04:26] Zenos
    Whoever's responsible for this is
    gonna pay a hefty price. Count on it.
[04:33] Guide
    As destructive as I had anticipated,
    but not quite as mobile.
[04:39] Guide
    Looks like there's room for improvement.
[04:42] Guide
    Still, it should be able
    to handle this request.
[04:46] Guide
    I wonder how Zenos will react when the
    people who admire him start dying one by one.
[04:53] Guide
    The curtain is rising on the first act.
[04:55] Guide
    Put on a good show for me.
[04:58] Zophia
    Carry them over here!
[05:00] Lynga
    Follow the scent of blood
    to track down the injured!
[05:03] Loewe
    It's only five people!
    You can carry that many at once!
[05:05] Loewe
    Show them what orc strength looks like!
[05:07] Zenos
    You'll want to get clear, Carmilla.
[05:13] Zenos
    High Heal!
[05:17] Zenos
    Once you're healed, evacuate immediately!
[05:23] Zenos
    Damn it all...
[05:24] Carmilla
    What are you so upset about?
[05:26] Zenos
    Imagine being dragged
    out in the dead of night
[05:28] Zenos
    and having to heal hundreds of people.
[05:31] Zenos
    There's no guarantee I'll get paid, and I'm
    worried about Lily. She's still at the house.
[05:35] Zenos
    I'm pissed at whoever's behind this!
[05:37] Carmilla
    There's no telling what the
    golem's master was after,
[05:40] Carmilla
    but I doubt they expected to have their
    aims thwarted under a cloud of griping.
[05:45] Guide
    Well, this was unexpected.
[05:48] Guide
    He's elite-class... maybe
    even better than that.
[05:51] Guide
    Very good, Zenos. I love it when
    people exceed my expectations.
[05:56] Guide
    That said, even if you heal the wounded,
[05:59] Guide
    until you stop the golem,
    it's not a real solution.
[06:03] Guide
    So what will you do?
[06:06] Guide
    I'll concede the first round to you.
[06:09] Guide
    But how will the second go?
[06:12] Zophia
    There are no more injured to be found.
[06:15] Lynga
    Lynga's men said the same thing.
[06:18] Loewe
    Likewise from the orcs.
[06:20] Zenos
    I see. Good work, everyone.
[06:23] Zophia
    Looks like no one died, thanks to you, Doc.
[06:27] Zenos
    That's a relief.
[06:29] Zenos
    But that thing is still making a mess...
[06:31] Zenos
    You don't suppose it'll get bored
    eventually and go home, do you?
[06:35] Carmilla
    Impossible.
[06:37] Carmilla
    Golems don't stop until they've
    fulfilled their orders.
[06:41] Carmilla
    And I'd wager its orders were
    something like "destroy the slums."
[06:46] Zenos
    Aw, man, isn't this enough already?
[06:50] Carmilla
    But it doesn't make sense.
[06:53] Carmilla
    The high-purity magic stone
    that forms the core of golems
[06:56] Carmilla
    is only found on the southernmost continent,
    where the Demon Lord's castle was.
[06:59] Carmilla
    And it should have been mostly
    used up during the Man-Fiend War...
[07:04] Carmilla
    The systems for black magic
    were thought lost for ages.
[07:07] Carmilla
    Even the other ingredients for
    that hulk would be hard to acquire.
[07:10] Carmilla
    Who could have done this?
[07:12] Zenos
    Well, we're looking right at the result,
    so what choice is there?
[07:15] Zenos
    This is a massive pain in the ass,
    but I guess I'd better go.
[07:18] Carmilla
    Go? Go where?
[07:21] Zenos
    Isn't it obvious?
[07:23] Zenos
    I need to take down that monster.
[07:26] Zophia
    We're with you, Doc.
[07:29] Zenos
    You sure? I can't guarantee emergency care.
[07:32] Zophia
    I'm not about to stand around
    after this thing wrecked my home.
[07:36] Lynga
    This is our town!
[07:38] Loewe
    I say we teach this creature
    how fearsome we can be.
[07:43] Zenos
    Carmilla, how do we take down the golem?
[07:46] Carmilla
    You must destroy the magic
    stone that makes up its core.
[07:50] Carmilla
    Until you do, it'll simply
    regenerate, time and time again.
[07:53] Zenos
    Destroy it, huh?
[07:55] Zenos
    If we destroy that magic stone,
    I doubt I'll be able to resell it.
[07:58] Zenos
    All right, guys, start by hitting
    it with everything you've got.
[08:02] Zenos
    Don't worry. I'll back you up.
[08:06] Zenos
    Agility Boost.
[08:10] Zophia
    What the...
[08:11] Zophia
    I'm suddenly feeling light on my feet!
[08:13] Lynga
    Sir Zenos must've done something!
[08:15] Loewe
    Good. Now we can put up a real fight.
[08:18] Zenos
    Strength Boost. Impact Increase.
[08:37] Zophia
    Lynga! You alive?
[08:39] Lynga
    Surprisingly, yes.
[08:42] Lynga
    I think I have Sir Zenos to thank.
[08:44] Zenos
    I haven't done battle in a while, but
    I'm starting to remember how it works.
[08:48] Zenos
    There are two things to watch out for.
[08:50] Zenos
    First, the farther away I am,
    the weaker the effects of magic become,
[08:53] Zenos
    so I need to maintain a certain distance.
[08:56] Zenos
    And the other... Healing,
    defense, and ability boosts
[08:59] Zenos
    might be similar,
    but their activation is distinct,
[09:02] Zenos
    so I can't functionally
    cast them all at once.
[09:05] Zenos
    I have to protect them until they go
    on the attack, then enhance that,
[09:09] Zenos
    and immediately heal any injuries they get.
[09:15] Zenos
    Okay. I think I know what to do.
[09:17] Zenos
    It takes a certain amount
    of time to regenerate.
[09:21] Zenos
    I need you all to shatter both its legs!
[09:24] Zophia
    Never saw the day I'd be
    fighting alongside you girls!
[09:29] Lynga
    And it's all thanks to Sir Zenos!
[09:31] Loewe
    Can't say I've ever fought
    with two more reliable allies!
[09:38] Zophia
    Trouble, Doc! There's a kid over there!
[09:39] Zenos
    What?!
[09:41] Zenos
    Did they not evacuate in time?
[09:43] Zenos
    Defense magic requires too much precision
    to cast on someone I can't see!
[09:46] Zenos
    Will I make it?!
[10:06] Guide
    My, my. You really are full of surprises, Zenos.
[10:11] Guide
    You've claimed victory in the second act, too.
[10:15] Guide
    And now it's time for the climax.
[10:18] Guide
    One last decision awaits you.
[10:21] Carmilla
    Inconceivable!
[10:22] Carmilla
    Golems only follow simple orders.
    They shouldn't be capable of this!
[10:26] Carmilla
    It's strange enough that it became
    fiercer once it started fighting you!
[10:32] Zenos
    Suppose someone was trying to create
    life from an imperfect magic stone.
[10:36] Zenos
    What options would they have?
[10:40] Carmilla
    Are you saying...
[10:41] Zenos
    I've finished scanning the golem.
[10:44] Zenos
    The magic stone is in its left breast.
[10:46] Zenos
    Is that you in there, Aston?
[10:52] (Flashback) Guide
    Would you mind telling me your name?
[10:57] (Flashback) Guide
    I see. Aston, then.
[11:03] Guide
    It looks like he's caught on.
[11:06] Guide
    I thought the best way to create life
[11:09] Guide
    from an imperfect magic stone would
    be to combine it with a living human.
[11:12] Guide
    The fusion of magic stone and
    man creates a new kind of core.
[11:17] Guide
    And humans are hard to control,
    with their complex emotions,
[11:20] Guide
    so a simpleton with intense negative
    feelings made the perfect choice.
[11:24] Guide
    Beyond that, I just made it clear that the
    magic stone was necessary for his revenge,
[11:29] Guide
    and once it was implanted,
    I created the golem.
[11:32] Guide
    He and the magic stone are one now.
[11:34] Guide
    So, how will you lower the
    curtain on this fight, Zenos?
[11:40] Guide
    After all the lives you've healed and saved,
[11:43] Guide
    you'll be killing the party member
[11:46] Guide
    who lifted you out of the slums in order to destroy the magic stone!
[11:51] Guide
    Could there be a more thrilling screenplay?!
[11:54] Guide
    And all it cost me was one worthless life.
[12:01] Zenos
    All right, sorry, but I need the
    three of you to get clear.
[12:04] Zophia
    Doc? If we leave now, the thing's
    just gonna regenerate again.
[12:07] Lynga
    Lynga can still fight!
[12:09] Loewe
    We can handle the front line.
[12:11] Zenos
    That'd probably be the smarter idea, but...
[12:15] Zenos
    "Healers shouldn't fight on the front lines."
[12:18] Zenos
    That was probably my teacher's
    seventh most repeated line.
[12:21] Zenos
    If you're focused on your own fight,
[12:23] Zenos
    you can't focus on supporting your allies.
[12:27] Zenos
    But...
[12:29] Zenos
    Given what I know now, I'm the only
    one who can settle this with him.
[12:39] Carmilla
    It's nearly dawn, and as I'm no fan
    of the sun, I'll be heading home.
[12:44] Zenos
    Okay. I should be home soon.
[12:46] Carmilla
    I wasn't concerned in the first place,
[12:48] Carmilla
    but I'll have some tea waiting for you.
[12:51] Zenos
    You make it sound like I'm gonna owe you,
[12:53] Zenos
    but I'm pretty sure it'll be Lily who makes it.
[13:00] Zenos
    Aston. It's just the two of us here now.
[13:04] Zenos
    When you called out to
    me here in the slums...
[13:07] Zenos
    That was where it all began, wasn't it?
[13:10] Zenos
    Someone as obnoxious and selfish as you,
    saving a kid? That's definitely odd.
[13:16] Zenos
    I heard Guile mention once that the reason
    you're obsessed with money and power is
[13:20] Zenos
    because your younger sister died when you
    couldn't afford the medicine she needed.
[13:25] Zenos
    Did that kid remind you of her?
[13:28] Zenos
    Is there still some part of
    your humanity in there?
[13:33] Zenos
    I guess the rage is still there, too.
[13:35] Zenos
    Angry because the pup you took in
    found a new home after you dumped him?
[13:38] Zenos
    Back then, I always thought it was strange
    how you knew I had no place to belong.
[13:44] Zenos
    But now I understand.
[13:46] Zenos
    It's because you didn't, either.
[13:54] Zenos
    Not that I really care at this point!
[14:16] Zenos
    Well, we meet again.
[14:19] Zenos
    Not that I'm thrilled about that...
[14:21] Zenos
    But today will be the last time
    I ever have to see your face.
[14:28] Zenos
    Now, it's time for our adventure
    to come to an end, Aston.
[14:34] Guide
    Well. So that's his move?
[14:37] Guide
    He kills with less hesitation
    than I expected.
[14:40] Guide
    Then again, given the abuse
    he's apparently suffered,
[14:43] Guide
    I suppose it's only natural.
[14:46] Guide
    I guess that's a wrap, then.
[14:49] Guide
    Kind of a disappointment,
    but it is what it is.
[14:55] Guide
    Wait, no...
[14:56] Guide
    Is he...
[15:10] Zenos
    This is exhausting enough.
    Settle down already!
[15:14] Guide
    Healing and destroying in tandem?
[15:16] Guide
    He cuts the parts that are
    fused with magic stone away,
[15:19] Guide
    then gradually heals the bits
    of physiology that are left.
[15:24] Guide
    Cut away too much and Aston dies.
[15:26] Guide
    Hesitate too much and the magic stone
    will fuse with the regenerated body.
[15:32] Guide
    And this is after healing hundreds,
[15:34] Guide
    and having supported the
    demihumans in combat...
[15:36] Guide
    Despite all that, he's maintaining all of his
    caution and focus to excise the magic stone?
[15:43] Guide
    There's someone capable of doing all that?
[15:47] Guide
    I can't believe what I'm seeing.
[15:50] Zenos
    To be honest, the world would
    probably be better off without you.
[15:55] Zenos
    I know I would be.
[15:57] Aston
    Why?
[16:01] Zenos
    Do you realize how much all
    this damage is gonna cost you?
[16:04] Zenos
    And you're too broke to pay it off, so it'll
    be collected from your collaborator, too.
[16:08] Zenos
    You don't get to die until you
    confess who put you up to this.
[16:12] Zenos
    That's the first reason.
[16:14] Zenos
    As for the second... You might
    be a worthless piece of crap,
[16:18] Zenos
    but you did do two good things for me.
[16:22] Zenos
    You took me out of the slums, and you gave
    me that bit of severance pay on a whim.
[16:28] Zenos
    That single gold coin let me save Lily,
    which led to me starting the clinic,
[16:33] Zenos
    and that changed my life.
[16:36] Zenos
    There's one other thing...
[16:37] Zenos
    And it's the biggest reason I'm not going
    to just kill you to get this over with.
[16:41] Zenos
    It's because I'm a healer.
[16:45] Zenos
    You get it now, you stupid idiot?!
[17:09] Aston
    It's now so clear to me how amazing
    you are that it makes me sick.
[17:14] Aston
    I've lost everything, but you
    still expect me to go on living.
[17:19] Aston
    Is this your revenge?
[17:23] Zenos
    Don't exaggerate. I didn't
    think it through that far.
[17:29] Aston
    Through my haze, I could see you
    backing up the demihumans.
[17:33] Aston
    You did the same thing with us, didn't you?
[17:36] Zenos
    You're creeping me out.
[17:38] Zenos
    What are you after now?
[17:40] Aston
    That's harsh... but I guess I can't
    blame you for feeling that way.
[17:45] Aston
    I spent my whole life using others,
    only to be used in the end.
[17:50] Aston
    What a joke.
[17:53] Aston
    I know nothing I say will make a
    difference, but I still need to say it.
[17:59] Aston
    I'm sorry.
[18:00] Aston
    I'm sorry, Zenos!
[18:04] Zenos
    That's enough. Chin up, Aston.
[18:07] Zenos
    How am I supposed to hit you otherwise?
[18:07] Aston
    No! I can't accept that—
[18:11] Zenos
    Now that you're back to normal, I don't
    need to hold back anymore, y'know?
[18:16] Zenos
    Ability Boost. Ten times arm strength.
[18:19] Zenos
    I left just enough mana to pull this off.
[18:20] Aston
    Whoa, hold on...
[18:23] Zenos
    The biggest reason I left you alive
[18:25] Zenos
    is because I wouldn't feel any better
    slugging you if you weren't conscious.
[18:25] Aston
    Now, let's not be hasty... Hang on!
[18:31] Zenos
    Do you realize how much trouble
    you caused, you piece of crap?!
[18:34] Zenos
    I'm not letting you get off with an apology!
[18:49] Krishna
    Wake up already.
[18:54] Krishna
    I came because there were
    reports of a monster attack,
[18:57] Krishna
    and this is the second
    time I've encountered you.
[19:00] Krishna
    It took some gall to flee
    the way you did last time.
[19:02] Aston
    Where's Zenos?
[19:04] Krishna
    I ran into him on the way
    here, and he filled me in.
[19:07] Krishna
    It's a miracle that a disaster of this
    scale happened without a single fatality.
[19:12] Krishna
    You'll owe Mr. Zenos for the rest of your life.
[19:15] Aston
    I guess you're right.
[19:19] Krishna
    Aston Boehringal.
[19:21] Krishna
    You're under arrest for attempted assault,
    fleeing arrest, false testimony,
[19:24] Krishna
    revenge-by-proxy,
    indiscriminate rampaging,
[19:27] Krishna
    damage of personal property,
    and many more charges.
[19:31] Krishna
    Brace yourself for a suitable punishment.
[19:36] Krishna
    I think I'll add public
    indecency to the list, too.
[19:43] Krishna
    Mr. Zenos had a message for you, as well.
[19:46] Krishna
    "I took your sword while
    you were unconscious."
[19:49] Krishna
    "It's a top-class item from an underground
    labyrinth, so it should sell for a decent price."
[19:54] Krishna
    "If nothing else, it should cover the
    cost of the damaged housewares."
[19:57] Krishna
    "And considering I was the one who found it,
[20:00] Krishna
    it's about time you gave it back,
    you thief," he concluded.
[20:05] Aston
    Now I...
[20:07] Aston
    I really have lost everything.
[20:10] Aston
    I don't have a single thing left.
[20:14] Krishna
    He mentioned one other thing.
[20:18] Krishna
    "That's your severance pay. I never want
    anything to do with you again," he said.
[20:24] Aston
    Zenos!
[20:39] Zenos
    I feel like I'm gonna
    collapse from exhaustion.
[20:41] Zophia
    Doc, are you all right?
[20:43] Lynga
    Sir Zenos, you don't look so good!
[20:46] Loewe
    You're walking less and less steadily...
[20:49] Loewe
    Let me help you.
[20:50] Zenos
    It's fine. You're all probably just as tired.
[20:57] Zenos
    H-Hey!
[20:58] Zophia
    Don't sweat it, Doc.
[21:00] Zophia
    You look after me all the time,
    so it's only fair that I pay you back.
[21:05] Lynga
    It's only natural! Lynga would
    honestly prefer to get even closer.
[21:10] Loewe
    I won't let you two get ahead of me!
    I'll be the one doing any clinging.
[21:15] Zophia
    I was carrying him first!
[21:16] Zenos
    Just this once, I'll indulge them.
[21:17] Loewe
    She who gets in, gets the win!
[21:18] Zophia
    Say what?!
[21:20] Guide
    I should go into hiding for a while.
[21:24] Guide
    I'm sure you'll get in my
    way again someday, Zenos.
[21:28] Guide
    When that happens, we'll play some more.
[21:31] Guide
    I'm not going to forget you.
[21:38] Carmilla
    Looks like you're alive. Resilient, aren't you?
[21:41] Zenos
    Sorry to disappoint you.
[21:43] Carmilla
    You ought to be.
[21:45] Carmilla
    I was looking forward to having
    peace and quiet again.
[21:49] Lily
    She says that, but Carmilla was so
    worried about you being out late,
[21:53] Lily
    she was floating all over the house!
[21:56] Carmilla
    Foolish Lily!
[21:57] Carmilla
    She's lying!
[21:59] Zenos
    Oh, yeah?
[22:00] Carmilla
    Wh-What is that face supposed to mean?!
[22:02] Lily
    I was worried when she
    told me what was going on,
[22:06] Lily
    but I knew you'd make it back.
[22:10] Lily
    Welcome home, Zenos!
[22:17] Zenos
    I'm back, everyone.
[22:21] Lily
    Let's drink tea together!

[00:04] Zenos
    This feels amazing...
[00:07] Zenos
    The plan was to work quietly and
    inconspicuously as an underground healer,
[00:10] Zenos
    but things sure got noisier than I expected.
[00:15] Zenos
    It's been a long time since I've
    had a chance to relax by myself.
[00:19] Zenos
    I'm glad I came here.
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[01:53] Krishna
    The investigation into the mastermind behind
    the golem attack hasn't revealed much.
[01:59] Krishna
    All I've been able to confirm is that it's an
    individual who calls himself "The Guide."
[02:05] Zenos
    I see.
[02:07] Zenos
    "The Guide"...
[02:08] Zenos
    I'm going to remember that name.
[02:11] Zenos
    And one day, I'm going to collect from him.
[02:14] Krishna
    There wasn't much of a
    trail to follow, either.
[02:17] Krishna
    The location where they met with that
    man, Aston, was already abandoned,
[02:21] Krishna
    with no trace left behind.
[02:24] Zophia
    I did some digging myself.
[02:26] Zophia
    The guy only started visiting
    the Underground Guild recently,
[02:29] Zophia
    and he tended to be alone.
[02:32] Lynga
    Lynga heard the same kind of story.
[02:36] Loewe
    In the underworld, the standard is to avoid
    prying into each other's backgrounds.
[02:40] Loewe
    I think there's a limit to what can
    be learned from questioning people.
[02:43] Krishna
    The Royal Knights will be pursuing
    him as a dangerous individual,
[02:47] Krishna
    but considering how thoroughly
    he erased his trail,
[02:50] Krishna
    it's likely he won't resurface for a while.
[02:53] Zenos
    I see.
[02:55] Zophia
    But he'll come back sooner or later.
[02:57] Zophia
    That's the impression I get.
[02:59] Lynga
    Yeah. I think this Guide
    still has some scheme going.
[03:04] Loewe
    He won't be simple to deal
    with, that's for sure.
[03:07] Loewe
    He may have ties even
    deeper in the underworld.
[03:10] Krishna
    I'd appreciate it if you demihumans
    didn't randomly speculate.
[03:14] Zophia
    Haven't you been mostly guessing yourself?
[03:17] Krishna
    I appreciate your help from
    the other day, but no.
[03:22] Krishna
    My guesses are not simply guesses,
[03:25] Krishna
    but speculation informed by my
    investigation and experience.
[03:28] Zenos
    Hang on a second.
[03:29] Zenos
    Could you all stop talking at each
    other from across the room?
[03:33] Zenos
    It's kind of awkward.
[03:34] Krishna
    Th-There's nothing that can be done.
[03:37] Krishna
    Given my position as a Royal Knight,
[03:39] Krishna
    I can hardly be seen sipping tea at the
    same table as a group of demihumans.
[03:42] Zophia
    Like we'd even want you at our table.
[03:45] Zenos
    Okay, settle down.
[03:46] Zenos
    No fighting in the clinic!
[03:49] Zenos
    Besides, I'm taking today
    off because I'm tired!
[03:51] Zenos
    So if you're not an
    emergency patient, get out!
[03:58] Lily
    Hey, Zenos...
[04:03] Lily
    I had an idea.
[04:06] Zenos
    You did?
[04:08] Lily
    Yeah. You've seemed really
    tired since the golem attack,
[04:12] Lily
    so I thought about what
    might make you feel better.
[04:15] Lily
    So maybe... for a change of pace...
    the two of us could... go...
[04:20] Zenos
    Go... where?
[04:24] Lily
    You and I could go to a hot—
[04:25] Zophia
    Doc!
[04:28] Zenos
    What's up? Forget something?
[04:30] Zophia
    Actually, I have a proposal.
[04:32] Zenos
    A proposal?
[04:34] Zophia
    Well, that golem mess was
    a real nightmare, right?
[04:37] Zophia
    How about we head to a hot spring?
[04:39] Zenos
    A hot spring?
[04:41] Zophia
    I was thinking it could
    help you recover a bit!
[04:44] Zenos
    I see...
[04:45] Zenos
    That might make for a nice change of pace.
[04:47] Zophia
    Awesome!
[04:49] Zophia
    It's a promise, Doc.
[04:54] Zenos
    What? You forget something?
[04:58] Lynga
    Nope!
[04:59] Lynga
    Lynga has a brilliant idea!
[05:02] Zenos
    Oh, you do?
[05:05] Lynga
    The golem attack was tough for all of us...
[05:08] Lynga
    So let's go to a hot spring!
[05:10] Zenos
    A hot spring?
[05:11] Zenos
    It doesn't sound bad, but—
[05:12] Lynga
    Great!
[05:13] Lynga
    It's a promise, Sir Zenos!
[05:19] Loewe
    Zenos! I think—
[05:20] Zenos
    A hot spring, right?! You didn't forget
    anything! You just wanna go to a hot spring!
[05:23] Zenos
    That's it, isn't it?!
[05:24] Loewe
    H-How did you know?
[05:26] Loewe
    We must truly be of one heart!
[05:28] Zenos
    You and the other girls, maybe!
[05:30] Zenos
    No wonder you get along!
[05:35] Krishna
    M-Mr. Zenos, I wanted to ask you...
[05:38] Zenos
    Hot springs, right?! You wanna
    go to a hot spring, too, don't you?!
[05:42] Zenos
    Sounds like fun!
[05:45] Zenos
    Why are they all so
    obsessed with hot springs?
[05:49] Zenos
    Anyway, what did you want to talk about, Lily?
[05:52] Lily
    Never mind! Just... never mind!
[05:57] Carmilla
    How amusing to see your effort to outdo your
    rivals undercut by all of them in the same fashion.
[06:04] Carmilla
    I never tire of watching the unseemly
    struggles of women in love.
[06:08] Zenos
    It's occurred to me
[06:10] Zenos
    that for the highest class of undead,
    your tastes are kind of vulgar.
[06:14] Carmilla
    And I certainly haven't been to
    a hot spring in a long time!
[06:17] Zenos
    Wait, you're coming, too?
[06:24] Zenos
    This is the men's bath.
[06:26] Zophia
    I know.
[06:27] Zophia
    It'll be fine. I put a sign up
    that says it's being cleaned.
[06:31] Zenos
    Wh-Whoa!
[06:34] Zophia
    My inclination is to get
    a little more aggressive,
[06:37] Zophia
    but I don't want to turn you against me.
[06:39] Zenos
    I see...
[06:41] Zophia
    Y'know, my brother and underlings
    have said I seem different lately.
[06:46] Zenos
    You do seem calmer.
[06:49] Zophia
    I never dreamed I'd get along
    with werewolves and orcs,
[06:53] Zophia
    much less chat with a Royal Knight.
[06:57] Zophia
    I think you might just change the world, Doc.
[07:02] Zenos
    You're exaggerating.
[07:03] Zenos
    I'm just an underground healer
    at a run-down clinic.
[07:07] Zenos
    Hey...
[07:08] Zophia
    What is it?
[07:09] Zenos
    Why are you getting closer and closer?
[07:12] Zophia
    You noticed, huh?
[07:13] Zophia
    I was hoping the conversation would
    get you to lower your guard.
[07:16] Zenos
    I was stupid for expecting
    this to go normally!
[07:20] Lynga
    Hold it right there!
[07:22] Lynga
    Zophia! No fair getting a head start!
[07:25] Zophia
    This is the men's bath!
[07:26] Zophia
    What's wrong with you?
[07:28] Zenos
    What's wrong with you?
[07:29] Lynga
    Lynga is simply dizzy from the heat!
[07:33] Zenos
    That's clearly a lie.
[07:35] Lynga
    All of the dizziness has Lynga falling over!
[07:40] Lynga
    Let go, Zophia! Lynga is on the
    verge of fainting into Zenos's arms!
[07:46] Zophia
    If you're about to faint,
    why are you still so strong?!
[07:49] Zenos
    Quit fussing, you two!
[07:51] Zenos
    Settle down, and more importantly, get out!
[07:53] Loewe
    Hold it!
[07:54] Loewe
    I won't have you forget about me!
[07:56] Zenos
    What were you even doing in there?!
[08:00] Loewe
    I was waiting in the water for you, Zenos!
[08:03] Loewe
    What do you think?
[08:04] Loewe
    Is my body not, as they say, bodacious?
[08:06] Zenos
    It's kinda too dark to tell.
[08:08] Zenos
    That wasn't an invitation
    to come closer, okay?
[08:11] Zophia
    You're not going anywhere!
[08:13] Lynga
    Lynga is even more bodacious!
[08:18] Krishna
    Enough!
[08:20] Krishna
    What do you demihumans think you're doing?!
[08:23] Krishna
    This is the men's bath!
[08:25] Krishna
    Have you no shame at all?!
[08:27] Zophia
    Then what are you doing in here?
[08:29] Loewe
    You're here to see Zenos, too, aren't you?
[08:33] Krishna
    N-No! I just got lost and mistook
    the men's bath for the women's!
[08:39] Zophia
    Great, more competition.
[08:41] Lynga
    Lynga will not lose!
[08:43] Loewe
    I will etch my sublime nudity into your eyes!
[08:46] Zenos
    All of you...
[08:49] Zenos
    Go to the women's bath!
[08:52] Umin
    What was that?
[08:54] Umin
    It'd be a shame if there was some
    weirdo who ruined my hot spring trip.
[09:00] Umin
    To be sent on a house call to
    Flamme, the city of hot springs...
[09:03] Umin
    I wonder if he noticed how tired I was.
[09:07] Krishna
    Unbelievable. The three
    of you are just shameless!
[09:10] Zophia
    I don't buy that, coming from you.
[09:13] Zophia
    Not that I didn't know it already,
    but the doc's no fun.
[09:16] Lynga
    Lynga thinks he's just embarrassed.
[09:18] Loewe
    I was hoping to display
    more of my grand nude form!
[09:22] Umin
    Kind of surprising to see a mixed group
    like that bathing together socially.
[09:28] Zophia
    You need something?
[09:31] Umin
    Oh, excuse me! It's nothing, sorry.
[09:34] Zophia
    If you say so.
[09:36] Loewe
    She was likely entranced by my proportions!
[09:39] Loewe
    To enchant even other women...
    How wicked must my body be?
[09:42] Lynga
    Lynga sometimes wonders where
    your confidence comes from.
[09:47] Lily
    I'm jealous.
[09:50] Umin
    She's adorable!
[09:53] Lily
    Maybe if I had a nicer body, I could've
    charged into the men's bath more confidently.
[10:00] Umin
    "Charged"?
[10:01] Lily
    Everyone else's chests are so big.
[10:04] Lily
    And mine... isn't!
[10:23] Carmilla
    There's no need to be pessimistic.
[10:25] Carmilla
    You're still growing, after all.
[10:28] Carmilla
    And there's no guarantee that
    bigger is the preferred size.
[10:32] Lily
    Is that true?! Even if they're
    small, he might still like them?
[10:38] Carmilla
    Indeed! There are depths to this world
    that children have trouble imagining.
[10:44] Lily
    The world of depths...
[10:47] Lily
    The world of small chests!
[10:50] Lily
    Huh? Carmilla, you seem more
    transparent than usual.
[10:54] Carmilla
    It's so pleasant, I may be
    on the verge of ascending.
[10:58] Carmilla
    Oh, I'm vanishing! I'm vanishing!
[11:00] Lily
    Oh, no! Don't go!
[11:02] Carmilla
    A joke, of course.
[11:04] Lily
    Don't scare me like that!
[11:06] Umin
    Is that... a wraith?!
[11:10] Umin
    Root of all life, by your blessing...
[11:12] Carmilla
    Oh, dear! It seems there are other guests here!
[11:17] Zenos
    Whoa, you scared me!
[11:19] Zenos
    You're in on this now, too, Carmilla?!
[11:21] Carmilla
    You seem upset. Shall I rinse you off?
[11:24] Zenos
    You want me to exorcise you?!
[11:26] Umin
    Did I... imagine that?
[11:29] Umin
    I must really be exhausted.
[11:34] Zophia
    Doc, here's to more than one job done well!
[11:37] Zophia
    Cheers!
[11:38] All
    Cheers!
[11:42] Lily
    It looks so good!
[11:46] Zenos
    Krishna, if you're gonna make
    that face, why not just join us?
[11:51] Lily
    That's right! Come join us!
[11:54] Krishna
    For a guardian of order to be
    put in this kind of situation...
[11:57] Krishna
    I only took a single day of leave and
    find myself here with all of you!
[12:04] Krishna
    The idea of toasting
    around the same table...
[12:07] Zenos
    Sounds like your whole thing is complicated.
[12:09] Zenos
    By the way, where's Carmilla?
[12:11] Lily
    "I will take my drink in my room,
    where I can relax," she said.
[12:21] Zenos
    I'm back.
[12:23] Zenos
    And I'm tired...
[12:25] Carmilla
    Was the meal not an enjoyable one?
[12:27] Zenos
    It was, at first.
[12:29] Zenos
    But then they started a drinking game where
    the winner was supposed to sit on my lap...
[12:40] Zenos
    Wasn't the whole point of all
    this to help with my exhaustion?
[12:44] Carmilla
    Oh, it's fine.
[12:46] Carmilla
    Enjoy the lively times while they last.
[12:50] Carmilla
    I'm sure you're going to be drawn into
    more complicated matters soon enough.
[12:54] Zenos
    Could you please stop jinxing me?
[12:57] Carmilla
    A wraith's intuition tends to be accurate.
[13:00] Zenos
    How did you get here, anyway?
[13:03] Zenos
    I thought you couldn't be
    out in the sun for long.
[13:06] Carmilla
    With that.
[13:08] Carmilla
    Since my body is ethereal, I can
    possess objects I'm attached to.
[13:13] Carmilla
    I inhabited that staff, which
    Lily carried during the day.
[13:17] Zenos
    If you're attached to it, did it
    belong to you when you were alive?
[13:21] Zenos
    What were you up to back then, anyway?
[13:24] Carmilla
    It was so long ago that I've forgotten.
[13:28] Carmilla
    Now, given your troubles,
    let me pour you a drink.
[13:33] Zenos
    You really don't like to talk
    about your past, do you?
[13:47] Umin
    What happened?!
[13:48] Innkeeper
    My husband said he was going
    to prepare breakfast,
[13:51] Innkeeper
    then he went to the kitchen,
    and there was this loud noise...
[13:54] Umin
    The fire magic stones may have exploded.
[13:57] Umin
    I'm a healer. I'll do what I can.
[14:01] Umin
    Root of all life, by your blessing,
[14:04] Umin
    grant your amelioration.
[14:06] Umin
    Heal!
[14:09] Umin
    First aid is the best I can do here.
[14:11] Umin
    This will take a while to properly heal.
[14:13] Umin
    And in the condition his arm is in, he
    may never be able to hold a knife again.
[14:17] Zenos
    What happened?
[14:19] Umin
    Who are you?
[14:20] Zenos
    A guest.
[14:22] Zenos
    I was wondering what that explosion was.
[14:25] Zenos
    He's burnt?
[14:26] Umin
    There's a Royal Hospital branch
    in the center of the city.
[14:30] Umin
    They would have more
    advanced healing magic circles.
[14:33] Umin
    Can you help me carry him?
[14:35] Zenos
    Never heard of that stuff
    before. Sounds interesting.
[14:38] Umin
    Interesting?
[14:40] Zenos
    But with these injuries, I doubt he'll need it.
[14:44] Lily
    Zenos! What happened?
[14:46] Zenos
    A bit of a kitchen fire.
[14:48] Zenos
    Our ride is leaving soon. Let's go.
[14:50] Umin
    W-Wait!
[14:52] Zenos
    The food here was good.
    I wouldn't mind eating it again.
[14:55] Zenos
    So this one's on the house.
[14:58] Umin
    Unbelievable. Abandoning
    someone who's injured...
[15:03] Man
    Huh? What happened to me?
[15:05] Hostess
    Honey!
[15:07] Umin
    How?
[15:07] Hostess
    Thank goodness! I'm so relieved!
[15:08] Umin
    Did my spell do that?
[15:12] Umin
    No, he was hurt too badly
    for that to be possible.
[15:15] Umin
    To treat that kind of burn instantly with
    no magical circle for reinforcement,
[15:19] Umin
    he must be highly ranked...
[15:20] Umin
    No, only a Saint or an
    elite healer could do that!
[15:28] Umin
    And that's the story.
[15:31] Becker
    An elite healer capable of restoring
    severe burns in an instant...
[15:36] Becker
    Those are valuable. There are less
    than ten of them in the country.
[15:40] Becker
    I'm sure the government would
    want him as a national asset.
[15:43] Umin
    He left while I was still in shock.
[15:47] Becker
    Do you remember what he was like?
[15:50] Umin
    He had black hair, but other than that...
[15:54] Umin
    I think I remember someone
    calling him "Zenos," though.
[15:59] Becker
    That could be an alias,
    so it's not much to go on.
[16:03] Becker
    Still, if he healed someone and then
    went on his way, he can't be a bad guy.
[16:07] Becker
    I'm sure there's no harm in letting him go.
[16:09] Becker
    If anything, running into him again
    would mean we'd have to dig deeper.
[16:13] Umin
    I see.
[16:16] Umin
    Actually, one other thing I remember
    is that he had a black overcoat.
[16:21] Becker
    An elite-grade healer
    with a black overcoat...
[16:26] Becker
    I've changed my mind.
[16:28] Becker
    Let's search for him after all.
[16:30] Umin
    Oh... Okay.
[16:32] Umin
    But how?
[16:34] Becker
    If he doesn't have official registration,
[16:37] Becker
    he may not be a legal citizen.
[16:40] Umin
    You think he's from the slums?
[16:41] Umin
    That doesn't narrow it down much, though.
[16:44] Becker
    Oh, I'm sure we'll manage...
[16:48] Umin
    I'm not sure why you're laughing.
[16:50] Umin
    Or why you suddenly changed your mind.
[16:53] Becker
    I'd just like to meet him.
[16:55] Becker
    As a fellow elite healer.
[17:00] Zonde
    Sorry about this, Doc!
[17:04] Zenos
    Is he sick?
[17:05] Zonde
    Don't know him, but he coughed up
    a ton of blood and then collapsed.
[17:09] Zenos
    It might be contagious,
    so you made the right call.
[17:13] Zenos
    Lay him down on the bed.
[17:21] Zenos
    His lungs are a mess...
[17:25] Zenos
    This is Red Lung!
[17:27] Lily
    Red Lung?
[17:29] Zenos
    Lily, Zonde, back away.
[17:32] Zenos
    There was a pandemic that killed
    a lot of people a while back.
[17:34] Zenos
    His case is similar.
[17:37] Zenos
    But Red Lung was supposed to have
    been wiped out thanks to a cure...
[17:41] Zenos
    So why would there be a new infection?
[17:42] Zenos
    Then again, maybe there's
    only a resemblance...
[17:46] Becker
    I must say, that was quite the diagnosis.
[17:52] Becker
    It's nice to meet you, underground
    healer from the abandoned district.
[17:56] Becker
    I'm an elite healer from the
    Royal Hospital, Ernardo Becker.
[18:01] Zenos
    You're an elite healer
    with the Royal Hospital?
[18:04] Becker
    Correct, although my case
    is a bit unique in that
[18:07] Becker
    I'm not particularly good with healing magic.
[18:10] Zenos
    Wait, then do you actually have Red Lung?
[18:13] Zenos
    It seemed a little different.
[18:14] Becker
    Oh, that...
[18:16] Umin
    Dr. Becker!
[18:20] Umin
    Oh, the healer from before!
[18:20] Zenos
    Hey, it's the girl from the inn.
[18:22] Becker
    Hello there, Umin!
[18:24] Umin
    Don't you "Hello there, Umin" me!
[18:26] Umin
    Do you realize how crazy it is
    to make yourself seriously sick
[18:29] Umin
    and then ask me to follow you
    when you're taken to this clinic?!
[18:31] Becker
    Well, how else were we supposed to find him?
[18:36] Becker
    You know, I thought I had
    weakened it enough,
[18:39] Becker
    but it's still quite painful.
[18:42] Zenos
    What's causing your symptoms?
[18:46] Becker
    I took a drug that would cause
    symptoms similar to Red Lung.
[18:51] Becker
    The locals are quite cautious,
[18:54] Becker
    but I thought they'd be willing
    to help someone seriously ill.
[18:58] Becker
    The effects wear off quickly, so I won't die.
[19:02] Becker
    I also took a dose of the antidote to
    be on the safe side, so I'll be fine.
[19:05] Zenos
    Where in the world did you
    find a drug like that?
[19:08] Becker
    I made it myself.
[19:11] Becker
    It became a necessity in my efforts
    to come up with a cure for Red Lung.
[19:15] Zenos
    The cure for Red Lung? Then you're—
[19:19] Umin
    That's right!
[19:21] Umin
    Red Lung, the Thousand-Day
    Cough, Crimson Poison!
[19:23] Umin
    Dr. Becker has come up with treatments
    for a number of diseases,
[19:26] Umin
    and was awarded the special rank of
    elite healer for his efforts! He's amazing!
[19:33] Becker
    It was really nothing special.
[19:36] Becker
    When I heard about an elite-class
    healer in a black overcoat,
[19:40] Becker
    I thought it might've been
    someone I used to know...
[19:43] Becker
    But it seems I was wrong.
[19:45] Becker
    That coat is yours, I assume?
[19:48] Zenos
    Yeah. But it originally
    belonged to my teacher.
[19:51] Becker
    What was your teacher's name?
[19:52] Zenos
    Don't know. Never actually told me.
[19:58] Becker
    Umin, why don't we bring him
    in on this case after all?
[20:03] Umin
    Are you sure?
[20:05] Zenos
    What case?
[20:07] Becker
    I know this is sudden, Zenos,
[20:10] Becker
    but would you like to work
    at the Royal Hospital?
[20:14] Becker
    We're dealing with a bit of a problem, you see.
[20:17] Zenos
    Why would you ask a total
    stranger like me for help?
[20:19] Becker
    It's a rather delicate issue,
[20:21] Becker
    the kind where an outsider would
    have an easier time taking action.
[20:25] Lily
    You guys!
[20:26] Zenos
    What are you all doing here?
[20:29] Zophia
    The red flag was up, so we rushed down here.
[20:32] Zenos
    The flag?
[20:34] Zenos
    Oh, red is for emergencies.
[20:36] Zenos
    Carmilla must've noticed something was up.
[20:39] Zophia
    I'd like to see you try and take Doc away!
[20:42] Lynga
    Sir Zenos forbids fighting in the clinic,
[20:45] Lynga
    so we won't hurt you in here.
[20:47] Loewe
    But take one step outside the building,
[20:50] Loewe
    and our men might take
    offense with your actions.
[20:55] Becker
    This display of unity as
    you all try to protect him!
[20:59] Becker
    I wonder if any healer has ever
    accomplished anything like it!
[21:02] Becker
    I think we might need to
    reconsider our approach.
[21:07] Becker
    Let's make this an official deal...
    or rather, a commission.
[21:13] Zenos
    Yeah, all right.
[21:15] Zophia
    Doc? You sure about this?
[21:17] Zenos
    Now that they know about my underground
    operation, I need them on my side.
[21:21] Zenos
    And I still remember how the central hospital
[21:24] Zenos
    distributed the cure for
    Red Lung freely in the slums
[21:27] Zenos
    back when it was spreading,
    saving a lot of lives.
[21:30] Umin
    That's right!
[21:31] Umin
    There was a lot of opposition, but Dr. Becker
    insisted that, to eradicate the disease,
[21:35] Umin
    the cure had to be distributed to everyone,
[21:37] Umin
    and he went as far as to pay for it himself!
[21:40] Becker
    I was only taking the appropriate
    scientific approach.
[21:46] Zophia
    That was a big help, yeah.
[21:49] Zenos
    More importantly, you seem to know my teacher.
[21:52] Becker
    If you agree to come to the Royal Hospital,
    I'll give you more details in time.
[21:58] Zenos
    You called it a commission,
    but now you're bargaining again.
[22:02] Zenos
    You're a crafty one, aren't you?
[22:04] Becker
    I've been called that.
[22:06] Becker
    I'm sure the same can be said of you.
[22:09] Zenos
    I'm just trying to live life the
    way I like it, which is quietly.
[22:13] Becker
    Once this matter is taken care of,
[22:15] Becker
    you'll have my assistance in that regard.
[22:17] Becker
    To make it official:
[22:19] Becker
    Welcome to the Royal Hospital,
    Zenos the underground healer.

[00:02] Zenos
    Well, that sure is impressive...
[00:13] Becker
    I still get lost occasionally.
    It's just so vast.
[00:17] Becker
    Let's head to my study for now.
[00:20] Zenos
    The sheer scale of this place
    is making me dizzy.
[00:23] Zenos
    Are there no darker, danker rooms in here?
[00:26] Umin
    You're making yourself sound awfully shady.
[00:29] Zenos
    That'd be because I am legitimately shady.
[00:32] Umin
    Saying it with such confidence doesn't help.
[00:41] Zenos
    Now this is more my speed.
[00:44] Becker
    I'm not sure I appreciate my office
    being treated like some shady hideout.
[00:49] Becker
    Now, regarding what I hired you for, Zenos...
[00:53] Zenos
    Something about people
    who've been going missing?
[00:55] Becker
    Correct.
[00:56] Zenos
    Tracking isn't really my thing, y'know.
[00:58] Becker
    Don't worry. All I'm asking you to do is go
    around and collect what information you can.
[01:02] Becker
    Besides, unlike regular students,
    special research students are able to attend
[01:07] Becker
    all manner of programs in the
    Royal Hospital via recommendation.
[01:11] Becker
    I imagine being able to look in on a variety
    of programs will make it easier to gather intel.
[01:15] Zenos
    You're not worried about anyone
    finding out my identity?
[01:18] Becker
    You'll be operating as Zeno,
    who has recently returned from abroad.
[01:23] Zenos
    And you think that'll be enough?
[01:25] Becker
    When you have an elite
    healer vouching for you,
[01:28] Becker
    security suddenly becomes less of a concern.
[01:31] Zenos
    Which means if I do screw up somehow,
[01:33] Zenos
    it'll be your responsibility as
    the person who recommended me.
[01:36] Becker
    Our fates are tied together, aren't they?
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[03:15] Lily
    Welcome back, Zenos!
[03:17] Zenos
    What're you doing here, Lily?
[03:19] Umin
    Dr. Becker signed off on her presence.
[03:22] Umin
    Dorm regulations say that significant others
    and family are allowed to cohabitate.
[03:27] Lily
    And I'm your wife, Zenos!
[03:29] Umin
    No, on paper, you're his little sister.
[03:33] Umin
    I'm sure you'll feel more at
    ease with someone you know.
[03:36] Umin
    We tried to make this as
    comfortable as possible.
[03:39] Zenos
    I was worried about leaving her behind,
    so I'm actually pretty grateful.
[03:43] Umin
    I'm glad.
[03:46] Umin
    Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
[03:50] Lily
    Honey!
[03:52] Zenos
    "Honey"?
[03:54] Lily
    Do you want to have something
    to eat? Or have a bath?
[03:57] Lily
    Or...
[03:58] Lily
    have me?
[04:00] Zenos
    You heard about the "sister" thing, right?
[04:03] Zenos
    And who even taught you that?
[04:05] Carmilla
    That would be me.
[04:06] Zenos
    You're here, too, huh?
[04:08] Zenos
    Why, exactly?
[04:09] Carmilla
    To be a nuisance.
[04:11] Zenos
    Yeah, I figured!
[04:13] Zenos
    Did it even occur to you that,
    with all these healers around,
[04:16] Zenos
    you'll be exorcised if anyone finds you?
[04:20] Carmilla
    How can I make myself a nuisance
    if I fear that kind of thing?
[04:22] Zenos
    That's just who you are, huh?
[04:24] Carmilla
    It's not as if there are many capable of
    the kind of healing magic you possess.
[04:29] Zenos
    Did you say something?
[04:30] Carmilla
    Not a thing.
[04:32] Carmilla
    "And thus,
[04:33] Carmilla
    a minor request from the Royal Hospital
[04:36] Carmilla
    ultimately ended up turning
    into a major incident!"
[04:40] Zenos
    Do you have to make a scary-sounding
    prophecy the second you show up?
[04:47] Umin
    So, Zenos... or rather, Zeno.
[04:51] Umin
    How did orientation go?
[04:53] Zenos
    Looks like I'm going to be
    running all over the place,
[04:56] Zenos
    but I don't even know how to
    get a normal healer's license.
[05:02] Umin
    Well, let's see...
[05:03] Umin
    First, one applies to take the exam
    to attend a healer preparatory school,
[05:07] Umin
    and if you pass, you spend
    a few years learning there.
[05:10] Umin
    Afterward, if you pass the healer
    exam, you earn your license.
[05:15] Zenos
    That sounds like a ton of investment.
[05:17] Zenos
    Man, healers are kind of impressive.
[05:19] Umin
    Coming from you, that is...
    certainly a statement.
[05:25] Umin
    After that, you may be assigned
    to a branch of the Royal Hospital,
[05:28] Umin
    or earn an adventuring license
    to work in the field.
[05:31] Umin
    Some people also work directly for
    the aristocracy or join the military.
[05:35] Umin
    Of course, once you're working and
    have made a name for yourself,
[05:37] Umin
    you have the option of getting
    examined and going up in rank.
[05:41] Zenos
    An exam to go up in rank?
[05:44] Zenos
    And this place is where
    that stuff is handled, huh?
[05:47] Umin
    Correct. Most of the students
    are people here to either
[05:50] Umin
    do research or advance their education,
[05:52] Umin
    people interested in more advanced healing,
[05:54] Umin
    or staff and administration.
[05:58] Zenos
    I'm starting to get a headache.
[06:00] Zenos
    For now, why don't you tell me
    more about our missing people?
[06:04] Umin
    Sure.
[06:05] Umin
    His name is Afread, and he's
    an upperclassman of mine.
[06:08] Umin
    He's an advanced healer and the
    deputy head of the laboratory.
[06:13] Umin
    He's incredibly talented and kind,
    as well as considerate.
[06:17] Umin
    Dr. Becker even said that Afread was a major
    contributor in creating the cure for Red Lung.
[06:25] Zenos
    Sounds like someone
    who's worth finding, then.
[06:28] Zenos
    Do you have any leads?
[06:30] Umin
    There is one thing, but...
[06:35] Zenos
    Who's that?
[06:36] Umin
    Professor Goldran.
[06:38] Umin
    He's the vice director
    of the Royal Hospital,
[06:40] Umin
    and a class seven advanced healer.
[06:43] Zenos
    Class seven?
[06:45] Umin
    Yes.
[06:46] Umin
    Each healing level—beginner,
    intermediate, and advanced—
[06:49] Umin
    is further split into seven classes.
[06:52] Umin
    A class seven advanced healer is as high as
    one gets without becoming an elite healer.
[06:57] Zenos
    Huh...
[06:59] Zenos
    Well, he's got a huge entourage.
     Must be a big deal.
[07:02] Umin
    He's in the running to be the
    next director, after all.
[07:06] Umin
    The current director takes a lot of
    time off due to his advanced age,
[07:09] Umin
    so it's fair to say that the vice director
    has the most authority at the moment.
[07:13] Umin
    And the Royal Hospital has changed
    a bit since he became vice director.
[07:19] Umin
    While the wealthy receive enthusiastic care,
[07:22] Umin
    there's been increasingly less attention
    paid to the other patients.
[07:26] Umin
    Professor Goldran seems more interested
    in advancing his political agenda
[07:29] Umin
    than improving his healing abilities.
[07:32] Umin
    There are even rumors that
    his class seven promotion
[07:35] Umin
    came from making good use of support
    he's received from some major nobles.
[07:40] Zenos
    Better to stay clear of him, then.
[07:42] Umin
    I'm afraid that's not an
    option for you, Zeno.
[07:48] Umin
    There's a chance he might be
    involved in Afread's disappearance.
[07:53] Umin
    Being so ambitious, Professor
    Goldran seems to want to
[07:55] Umin
    gather as many talented individuals
    beneath him as possible.
[07:59] Umin
    He had called on Afread, on the
    pretext of a loan from our lab.
[08:02] Zenos
    And Becker was fine with that?
[08:04] Umin
    The professor had contributed financially
    to the manufacturing of the Red Lung cure,
[08:09] Umin
    so the doctor felt indebted.
[08:12] Umin
    Plus, Afread himself thought it wouldn't
    be bad to expand his horizons.
[08:17] Umin
    But a month later, he went missing.
[08:22] Zenos
    What did Goldran have to say?
[08:23] Umin
    He insists that he has no idea what happened
    and is actually inconvenienced by it.
[08:27] Zenos
    I get what you're trying to tell me.
[08:30] Zenos
    But how do I approach him?
[08:32] Umin
    That won't be a problem.
[08:33] Umin
    As you distinguish yourself in the assorted
    programs, he'll probably contact you.
[08:37] Zenos
    You make that sound so easy.
[08:39] Zenos
    I have a hard time imagining a
    healer from a run-down clinic
[08:42] Zenos
    distinguishing himself in the Royal Hospital.
[08:44] Umin
    Wait... Zeno, do you not realize—
[08:47] Cresson
    Hey, Umin!
[08:49] Cresson
    What're you doing, sitting
    off to the side like this?
[08:52] Umin
    Cresson...
[08:53] Umin
    I'm allowed to eat wherever I want, aren't I?
[08:56] Cresson
    Whoa, simmer down, now.
[08:58] Cresson
    We of the Goldran faction appreciate
    you making plenty of room for us.
[09:08] Cresson
    You're the special research student, right?
[09:11] Cresson
    Do your best not to embarrass
    your sponsor, you hear?
[09:17] Zenos
    What's his deal?
[09:18] Umin
    Don't worry about him.
[09:20] Umin
    We're classmates, but ever since he was scouted
    by Goldran's group, he's gotten a big head.
[09:25] Zenos
    Uh-huh...
[09:26] Zenos
    Well, for now, I'm heading to class.
[09:32] Zenos
    The structure of the epidermis...
[09:33] Zenos
    The distribution of muscle...
[09:35] Zenos
    The layout of blood vessels and nerves...
[09:37] Zenos
    The positioning of organs...
[09:40] Zenos
    Today's the day I pull this off.
[09:45] (Flashback) Zenos
    What's the big deal, old timer?!
[09:47] (Flashback) Master
    Don't use that power on the dead.
[09:49] (Flashback) Master
    It should be saved for the living.
[10:01] (Flashback) Master
    You've both improved a
    lot over this past year.
[10:03] (Flashback) Master
    Looks like I was right about you.
[10:06] (Flashback) Zenos
    I'm the one who brought Veritra in, though.
[10:09] (Flashback) Master
    And I don't want you two getting cocky
    just because you can fix a few wounds.
[10:14] (Flashback) Master
    Being able to heal wounds only
    makes a healer third-rate.
[10:17] (Flashback) Veritra
    Right, Master.
[10:19] (Flashback) Veritra
    A healer is second-rate if they
    can wholly heal a person...
[10:21] (Flashback) Veritra
    And only first-rate if they can
    make the world a better place.
[10:24] (Flashback) Veritra
    Trust me, I remember. I've heard it so many
    times, people have said it to me in my dreams.
[10:28] (Flashback) Master
    Really?
[10:30] (Flashback) Master
    Well, as long as you get it.
[10:35] Teacher A
    We'll now begin the lecture.
[10:38] Teacher A
    I specialize in adventurer-adjacent healing.
[10:41] Teacher A
    Today's topic is the undead.
[10:43] Teacher A
    I'll introduce you to the latest findings on
    these monsters that roam the world after death.
[10:48] Zenos
    Huh...
[10:50] Zenos
    Pretty interesting.
[10:52] Zenos
    A lot of it I know from
    when I was adventuring,
[10:55] Zenos
    but the systematic way it's
    organized makes it easy to absorb.
[10:59] Teacher A
    Does anyone have any questions?
[11:02] Extra
    Are we going to discuss wraiths at all?
[11:04] Teacher A
    A good question,
[11:06] Teacher A
    but we don't know that much about the
    highest-ranked among undead monsters.
[11:11] Teacher A
    And that's for two reasons.
[11:13] Teacher A
    One is that there aren't
    many eyewitness reports.
[11:16] Teacher A
    The other is that most parties who
    have challenged them were wiped out.
[11:20] Teacher A
    The most pertinent thing is that if you
    encounter a wraith, the best thing to do is run.
[11:25] Teacher A
    The ones that can speak are
    particularly dangerous.
[11:28] Teacher A
    In general, if a monster is verbal,
    you know it's incredibly powerful.
[11:32] Teacher A
    And when a wraith is verbal,
    it's more than just about anyone can handle.
[11:35] Zenos
    Wait, seriously?
[11:37] Zenos
    I've got a talking wraith kicking
    back in my room right now...
[11:40] Zenos
    I probably shouldn't mention that.
[11:44] Teacher A
    As we wrap up, have any among
    you fought the undead before?
[11:48] Teacher A
    If you have, I'd like you to share
    your experience with the others.
[11:54] Cresson
    My name is Cresson Wembley, and I'm
    a member of the Goldran Laboratory.
[11:58] Cresson
    I was an adventurer for a few years,
    and have taken down around 30 ghosts.
[12:08] Cresson
    How about you, special research student?
[12:12] Zenos
    Huh?
[12:15] Zenos
    I need to make a name for myself,
[12:18] Zenos
    but standing out too much is a bad idea.
[12:20] Zenos
    I can probably take out 50 at once, but...
[12:22] Zenos
    Might be smarter to just match his story.
[12:25] Zenos
    Uh, I'm at around 30, too.
[12:29] Cresson
    Don't lie, man.
[12:30] Zenos
    I'm not. Really, 30 is about
    the most I can beat at once.
[12:34] Cresson
    Seriously, you don't need to... Wait, "at once"?
[12:39] Zenos
    Wait, you didn't mean 30 at once?
[12:42] Teacher A
    You're Zeno, the special
    research student, correct?
[12:45] Teacher A
    Could you explain what you mean?
[12:48] Zenos
    There's not much to explain.
[12:50] Zenos
    If you go to the underground labyrinth,
    that place is crawling with ghosts,
[12:53] Zenos
    and the best way to deal with them is to
    cast Heal on as many as you can at once.
[12:57] Teacher A
    The underground labyrinth...
    of Garminton, you mean?!
[13:01] Zenos
    I think that's what the name was, yeah.
[13:04] Teacher A
    Zeno. Even gold-class parties
    hesitate to set foot in that place.
[13:13] Cresson
    What the hell is his deal?
[13:15] Cresson
    There's no way that was true.
[13:17] Cresson
    I don't like him.
[13:25] Cresson
    You said your name was Zeno, right?
[13:27] Cresson
    Don't just spout nonsense
    because you want to stand out.
[13:30] Zenos
    I'm actually trying to avoid
    standing out, to be honest.
[13:33] Fasso
    We'll now begin our lecture
    on healing magic circles.
[13:37] Zenos
    If I'm being honest, I don't
    understand magic circles.
[13:41] Zenos
    If I have time to spend
    drawing that kind of thing,
[13:43] Zenos
    I figure it's faster to just heal my patient.
[13:48] Fasso
    Now, if one of you would come up here
    and draw your best magic circle.
[13:54] Cresson
    Allow me, sir.
[14:01] Fasso
    It looks pretty good.
[14:02] Fasso
    I don't suppose you'd like
    to join my laboratory?
[14:06] Cresson
    Oh, no, I already work for Professor Goldran.
[14:11] Cresson
    Professor, I believe the special research
    student would like to show what he can do.
[14:18] Zenos
    My teacher showed me one
    magic circle a long time ago.
[14:22] Zenos
    That's the only one I know,
    so I guess that's what I'm drawing.
[14:27] Cresson
    I've never seen a magic
    circle that looks like that.
[14:30] Cresson
    Looks like the gold plating's come off the
    big-talking special research student already!
[14:34] Fasso
    Th-This magic circle...
[14:36] Fasso
    This goes beyond simple healing magic.
[14:38] Fasso
    The cardinal directions are
    marked by infinite spirals...
[14:42] Fasso
    Is this for regeneration?
[14:44] Fasso
    But something's still different...
[14:46] Zenos
    Oh, that's actually it,
    but it's a real weird one.
[14:50] Zenos
    Like, if the patient's lost multiple fingers,
    it'll randomly grow one back.
[14:55] Fasso
    S-Say what?!
[14:56] Fasso
    Conditional branching and random sampling?
[14:59] Fasso
    I had no idea you could cram that
    much into a single magic circle!
[15:02] Fasso
    But this would require a
    massive amount of mana.
[15:04] Fasso
    Surely no human could activate it.
[15:06] Zenos
    I can, though.
[15:10] Zenos
    It's honestly not that useful.
[15:12] Zenos
    Regenerating a finger
    with magic is way faster.
[15:15] Fasso
    I have no idea what you're
    saying, and I don't care.
[15:18] Fasso
    More than anything, I want
    you to join my laboratory!
[15:22] Zenos
    Uh, no, I kinda have stuff to take care of...
[15:25] Cresson
    What is this? What the hell is he?!
[15:31] 2nd Secretary
    There's something I think
    you should know, Professor.
[15:34] Goldran
    What is it?
[15:36] 2nd Secretary
    There are rumors of an interesting
    individual in the school.
[15:39] 2nd Secretary
    A healer capable of defeating
    30 ghosts at once.
[15:43] 2nd Secretary
    His name is Zeno, and he's this
    year's special research student.
[15:46] Goldran
    A special research student?
[15:49] Goldran
    Do you believe our faction is so
    insignificant that some random
[15:53] Goldran
    special research student
    should be allowed to join?
[15:55] 2nd Secretary
    My apologies, sir!
[15:57] 3rd Secretary
    Pardon me, Professor.
[15:58] 3rd Secretary
    I have a report. There are multiple
    reports of undead at the Suula graveyard.
[16:03] Goldran
    Assign someone to deal with the matter.
[16:06] Goldran
    In fact, send the special research student
    who can take out 30 ghosts in one blow.
[16:11] Goldran
    If he proves to live up to his claims,
[16:13] Goldran
    we may just have a spot for him.
[16:16] 3rd Secretary
    Very good, sir.
[16:20] Lily
    You're going to fight some undead, Zenos?
[16:22] Zenos
    Yeah.
[16:24] Carmilla
    Exorcising the undead, eh?
[16:26] Carmilla
    That certainly means trouble.
[16:27] Zenos
    Tell me about it.
[16:28] Carmilla
    I meant for the undead.
[16:31] Lily
    If a bunch have shown up... Undead really
    do tend to gather at graveyards, huh?
[16:36] Zenos
    Since the church oversees this one,
    this kind of thing is rare, apparently.
[16:41] Zenos
    They're not sure what caused it.
[16:44] Carmilla
    Go on, enjoy your meal.
[16:46] Zenos
    You weren't the one who made it. It was Lily.
[16:48] Lily
    Are you going to eat, Carmilla?
[16:50] Carmilla
    I'll take extra chicken, if you don't mind.
[16:52] Carmilla
    And if you give me any carrots,
    I'll curse you and your descendants.
[16:55] Zenos
    You have no trouble eating solid matter?
[16:58] Carmilla
    All things are possible with enough spirit!
[17:01] Zenos
    I get the feeling if I just wrote
    down my observations on you,
[17:04] Zenos
    it'd be enough to earn me a degree.
[17:12] Cresson
    Ch-Charge!
[17:14] Cresson
    Follow me!
[17:16] Extras
    Root of all life, by your
    blessing, grant amelioration.
[17:19] Extras
    Heal!
[17:23] Zenos
    They're being pretty thorough,
    only taking out one or two at a time.
[17:26] Zenos
    It seems kinda inefficient, though.
[17:28] Umin
    I can only imagine it'd
    seem that way to you.
[17:31] Cresson
    Damn it! We can't keep up with these numbers!
[17:34] Cresson
    It's no good!
[17:37] Zenos
    High Heal.
[17:43] Zenos
    That was great.
[17:44] Zenos
    They were all gathered in one spot.
    That made it easier to deal with them.
[17:47] Umin
    I didn't quite expect... this.
[17:51] Cresson
    Did you see that?! This is what Cresson
    of the Goldran faction is capable of!
[17:56] Extras
    Was that you, Cresson?
[17:57] Extras
    That was some amazing healing magic.
[17:59] Umin
    No, Zeno was the one who...
[18:01] Cresson
    Huh? As if a special research student
    could be capable of something like that!
[18:06] Cresson
    Go on, report our success and my
    contribution to your teachers!
[18:10] Cresson
    You're dismissed!
[18:11] Umin
    Cresson, wait!
[18:14] Cresson
    Listen up! There's no way I accept you!
[18:17] Zenos
    Okay.
[18:19] Cresson
    What the hell is your deal?!
[18:21] Cresson
    Why'd they make me observe this special research
    student freak who showed up out of nowhere?
[18:26] Zenos
    Observe?
[18:27] Cresson
    Forget it! I'm done!
[18:33] Zenos
    The undead aren't dealt with yet, though.
[18:36] Umin
    What do you mean?
[18:40] Zenos
    It's coming.
[18:50] Extra A
    A zombie... king?
[18:52] Extra B
    Why is such a dangerous
    monster suddenly popping up?!
[18:55] Extra A
    Cresson! You're our only hope!
[18:58] Extra A
    Use some incredible healing
    magic to slow it down!
[19:00] Cresson
    S-Sure...
[19:02] Umin
    They seem to have high expectations for you,
[19:05] Umin
    Cresson of the Goldran faction.
[19:08] Cresson
    Umin, you jerk! We're classmates,
    and you're not gonna help?!
[19:11] Umin
    What? You need help from the likes of me?
[19:14] Umin
    You, Cresson of the Goldran faction?
[19:18] Zenos
    Yeah, I know.
[19:20] Zenos
    You don't want me interfering, right?
[19:23] Cresson
    Oh... well... glad you get it.
[19:26] Cresson
    Hurry up and call for reinforcements!
[19:28] Cresson
    I'll hold it off until then...
[19:33] Cresson
    H-Here I come! Say your prayers!
[19:37] Zenos
    Pretty bold of him,
    but why's his voice cracking?
[19:40] Umin
    It's almost a textbook example
    of getting what you deserve.
[19:43] Cresson
    Light of life that dwells deep within, hear my
    prayers, and let your blessing shine forth here!
[19:51] Cresson
    High Heal!
[19:58] Cresson
    That was my best magic, and it...
[20:09] Cresson
    You see that, peanut gallery?!
[20:11] Cresson
    We're evenly matched...
[20:12] Cresson
    No, I managed to strike
    first, so I have the edge!
[20:15] Cresson
    It didn't lay a finger on me!
[20:19] Umin
    I suppose this explains why
    so many have been appearing.
[20:22] Umin
    Undead are drawn to more powerful undead.
[20:25] Umin
    This zombie king must be the root of all this.
[20:28] Zenos
    The zombie king...
[20:30] Zenos
    Something seems off about that.
[20:32] Zenos
    I also wonder why he's not
    using healing magic anymore.
[20:37] Umin
    Well, he was lying before.
[20:39] Zenos
    Wait, he was?
[20:40] Umin
    Yes.
[20:41] Umin
    But I'd rather you didn't help him.
[20:44] Umin
    He's earned a bit of pain
    for his shenanigans.
[20:47] Zenos
    You say that, but I can tell
    you're worried about him.
[20:50] Umin
    Wh-What makes you say that?!
[20:53] Zenos
    The fact that you stuck
    around kinda suggests it.
[20:56] Umin
    W-Well, someone should collect his remains...
[21:00] Umin
    W-We are classmates, after all.
[21:04] Umin
    But he's just been rolling around
    instead of fighting, hasn't he?
[21:11] Cresson
    Root of all life, by your
    blessing, grant amelioration...
[21:16] Cresson
    Heal.
[21:24] Cresson
    L-Let me go!
[21:26] Umin
    Cresson!
[21:29] Cresson
    H-Help!
[21:39] Zenos
    Mega Heal!
[21:54] Cresson
    Wh-Who asked you to help me?
[21:56] Umin
    Well, you did. Quite loudly.
[21:58] Umin
    You were bawling, going, "Help!"
[22:01] Cresson
    Kn-Knock it off! I was not!
[22:02] Umin
    No, I heard it quite clearly.
[22:04] Zenos
    Drawn to more powerful undead...
[22:06] Cresson
    I would've done just fine without your help!
[22:08] Zenos
    Look, uh... Sorry.
[22:08] Umin
    If you hadn't gotten so full of yourself—
[22:13] Lily
    Are you okay, Carmilla? Are you sick?
[22:18] Carmilla
    Quite the jest, suggesting that the greatest
    of the undead such as myself could get sick.

[00:07] Carmilla
    Very humorous, suggesting that

[00:10] Carmilla
    could get sick.
[00:13] Lily
    Well, if you're sure.
[00:15] Carmilla

[00:20] Lily
    You must be popular!
[00:24] Carmilla

[00:26] Carmilla

[02:09] Carmilla
    I see.
[02:10] Carmilla
    Undead being drawn to stronger undead, eh?
[02:16] Zenos
    You knew about that?
[02:17] Carmilla
    I did not, but it's no surprise.
[02:19] Carmilla
    I suppose my overwhelmingly charismatic
    aura must have also overflowed!
[02:24] Carmilla
    Kneel down, human fools!
[02:30] Carmilla
    What now? Will you kick me out?
[02:33] Zenos
    Nah.
[02:34] Zenos
    Given how you affect your surroundings,
    it's probably safer to keep you by my side.
[02:40] Lily
    I... I want him to say that about me, too!
[02:45] Lily
    "Lily. Stay by my side."
[02:52] Zenos
    Carmilla? Something wrong?
[02:52] Lily
    It's 'cuz I'm Zenos's ideal wife!
[02:54] Carmilla
    It's nothing.
[02:57] Carmilla
    Asking a wraith, an entity despised
    by all, to stay by your side...
[03:00] Carmilla
    You are as odd as they come.
[03:04] Carmilla
    Very well. I will dedicate all my
    energy to being a nuisance, then.
[03:07] Zenos
    Did you actually think that sounded cool?
[03:13] 2nd Secretary
    Cresson, you seem to have performed quite
    wonderfully during the undead extermination.
[03:18] Cresson
    W-Well, sure!
[03:20] 2nd Secretary
    The other students who joined you
    have been singing your praises.
[03:24] 2nd Secretary
    It's impressive.
[03:28] 2nd Secretary
    That said, the fact that
    you did such an amazing job
[03:31] 2nd Secretary
    means that the special research student,
    Zeno, failed to live up to expectations.
[03:36] 2nd Secretary
    Continue to dedicate yourself
    to the professor's cause.
[03:39] 2nd Secretary
    You're free to go, Cresson.
[03:42] Cresson
    Right...
[03:45] Cresson
    Actually...
[03:46] Cresson
    I was awesome,
[03:48] Cresson
    but he—the special research student—
    was actually really impressive.
[03:52] Cresson
    The hordes of undead and zombie king...
    He's the one who defeated them.
[03:57] 2nd Secretary
    What are you saying?
[04:00] Cresson
    The truth, sir. I saw it happen.
[04:05] Cresson
    If you'll excuse me.
[04:10] Cresson
    Damn it!
[04:12] Cresson
    We're even now, special research student.
[04:18] Becker
    Zenos! The Goldran Research
    Lab is calling for you.
[04:22] Becker
    Looks like you'll be invited to his faction.
[04:24] Umi
    That's amazing!
[04:25] Zenos
    Really?
[04:27] Becker
    I have to say, I'm impressed.
[04:29] Becker
    I guess your undead extermination
    must've caught their eye.
[04:32] Zenos
    Huh...
[04:34] Becker
    Are you surprised?
[04:36] Zenos
    I kinda thought the story was
    that Cresson took care of that.
[04:40] Becker
    I'm not clear on the specifics, but...
[04:43] Zenos
    Guess this means we've cleared
    the first big obstacle.
[04:45] Becker
    I'd think of it more as
    reaching the starting line.
[04:48] Becker
    You still have to be
    interviewed by the professor.
[04:51] Zenos
    What? There's still more?
[04:54] Zenos
    I was hoping this'd be more casual.
[04:56] Becker
    Professor Goldran is a major mover
[04:59] Becker
    who commands the majority of
    support in the Royal Hospital.
[05:02] Becker
    He doesn't meet with just anyone.
[05:04] Zenos
    The more organized they are,
    the more of a pain they are, huh?
[05:07] Zenos
    I don't think I'm cut out for this stuff.
[05:09] Becker
    And Professor Goldran is exceptionally
    particular when it comes to authority and honors.
[05:14] Zenos
    But isn't he an advanced healer?
[05:17] Zenos
    Doesn't that make you, an
    elite healer, more important?
[05:20] Becker
    Unfortunately, political power
    and titles don't equate.
[05:24] Becker
    Especially in my case, given that
    I earned my title via developing drugs.
[05:30] Zenos
    Well, for now, I should probably
    go answer their call.
[05:34] Becker
    I'll be praying for your success.
[05:36] Umin
    You've got this, Zenos!
[05:42] 2nd Secertary
    Welcome, Zeno.
[05:43] 2nd Secertary
    I am the professor's second secretary.
[05:47] Goldran
    You're the special research student?
[05:50] Goldran
    What can you do?
[05:52] Zenos
    Healing's about the only thing I can do.
[05:54] Goldran
    How small...
[05:56] Goldran
    Any healer can do that.
[06:00] Goldran
    If you have power, then
    you should aim higher.
[06:03] Goldran
    You should know that healers hold
    special sway in our country.
[06:08] Zenos
    Wait, they do?
[06:10] Goldran
    You could even say this country's
    history is the history of healers...
[06:14] Goldran
    Yet, at the moment, the ruling class
    reaps the majority of the benefits.
[06:17] Goldran
    I intend to join them in the near future.
[06:21] Goldran
    This will ensure that our faction
    earns proportionate gains.
[06:25] Goldran
    Everyone deserves treatment equal
    to what they are capable of.
[06:29] Goldran
    That includes healers.
[06:31] Goldran
    Not all life is equal in value.
[06:33] Goldran
    It stands to reason that the wealthy
[06:35] Goldran
    and the impoverished would
    receive differing quality of care.
[06:39] Goldran
    Could you reproduce the magic circle
    you drew in your class right now?
[06:43] Goldran
    I'd like to see for myself whether
    or not you'll be of any use.
[06:48] Goldran
    And if you prove valuable,
[06:50] Goldran
    I'm prepared to welcome you.
[07:01] Zenos
    What exactly does this prove, though?
[07:03] Goldran
    The depth of your healing magic knowledge.
[07:06] Goldran
    And whether or not said knowledge
    has questionable roots.
[07:13] Goldran
    There are several different schools
    of magic circle conception,
[07:16] Goldran
    and with healing magic, there are certain
    principles that need to be minded.
[07:20] Goldran
    Any signs that they are not is an indicator
    that you did not receive an official education.
[07:26] Goldran
    Those who work for me must prove to
    be as legitimate as they are capable.
[07:33] 2nd Sec
    What do you think, Professor?
[07:35] Goldran
    A fascinating magic circle.
[07:38] Goldran
    I've never seen these
    particular applications.
[07:41] Goldran
    And it does a fine job of minding
    the fundamentals, as well.
[07:47] Goldran
    You may join the lab starting tomorrow.
[08:04] Zenos
    What is all this?
[08:06] Cresson
    Look sharp, man!
[08:07] Cresson
    Hurry and line up!
[08:10] Zenos
    It's you...
[08:11] Cresson
    I'm Cresson, your senior in this group!
[08:13] Cresson
    Looks like you're a member of
    the Goldran Lab starting today.
[08:17] Cresson
    Which means you're gonna
    have to follow the rules!
[08:19] Zenos
    Sure, all right.
[08:21] Cresson
    I hope you realize the only reason you're a
    part of this is because I recommended you!
[08:27] Cresson
    You basically owe me your life!
[08:29] Zenos
    Really?
[08:30] Zenos
    Well, I am grateful. Why'd you do it, though?
[08:35] Cresson
    Isn't it obvious?
[08:36] Cresson
    I can use you to make my
    way up in the faction!
[08:40] Zenos
    You're an honest guy, huh?
[08:42] Zenos
    What's with the procession, anyway?
[08:45] Cresson
    It's for Professor Goldran's general rounds.
[08:47] Cresson
    He goes around visiting the patients
[08:50] Cresson
    with an entourage that he's at the head of.
[08:54] Zenos
    So... until I showed up, you
    were at the back of the line?
[08:57] Cresson
    Sh-Shut up!
[08:59] Cresson
    Just watch! I'm going to claw my way up!
[09:03] Zenos
    Okay. Good luck with that.
[09:05] Cresson
    Don't give me that pitying look!
[09:12] Zenos
    Does he really need all these people?
[09:14] Cresson
    It's all about creating an impression.
[09:16] Cresson
    Besides, the professor only visits
    people from the upper-upper crust.
[09:21] Zenos
    I wanna get a better look.
[09:22] Cresson
    Whoa! Where are you going?!
[09:25] Zenos
    I need to know more about Goldran
[09:27] Zenos
    if I intend to find anything
    out about the disappearances.
[09:31] Patient
    Dr. Goldran, the pain has been so bad since
    I twisted my ankle on the side of the bed...
[09:38] Goldran
    It's a sprain.
[09:41] Goldran
    Three should be sufficient for this.
[09:44] Zenos
    What is that?
[09:46] Goldran
    Woven into a single ray of light,
[09:49] Goldran
    let the lost embers of life be your guidance,
[09:52] Goldran
    so that they may find their way home.
[09:55] Goldran
    Give Heal.
[10:01] Patient
    The pain's gone!
[10:03] Patient
    Thank you so much!
[10:06] Cresson
    Dude, don't just wander off!
[10:10] Zenos
    Sorry. But what was that magic
    where he used multiple healers?
[10:15] Cresson
    You don't even know that?
[10:17] Cresson
    The professor's specialty
    is health transfer magic.
[10:20] Zenos
    Health transfer magic?
[10:23] Cresson
    It's basically magic that transfers
    life force between people to heal.
[10:26] Cresson
    Pretty revolutionary, right?
[10:28] Cresson
    It can provide major results even if
    the caster isn't particularly powerful.
[10:33] Cresson
    Say you've got someone who's injured.
[10:35] Cresson
    You transfer someone else's
    life force into them
[10:38] Cresson
    in order to boost their recovery.
    That's health transfer magic.
[10:42] Cresson
    The worse the injury, the
    more life force it requires,
[10:45] Cresson
    so you need to prepare a larger number of
[10:47] Cresson
    healthy people to transfer the necessary
    bit of health to the patient.
[10:50] Cresson
    That way the patient is healed,
[10:52] Cresson
    and the burden on the donors is minimal.
[10:55] Cresson
    They only have to deal
    with a bit of exhaustion.
[10:58] Zenos
    That is interesting.
[11:01] Zenos
    It explains why he wants so
    many people for his faction.
[11:04] Cresson
    That's a part of it, yeah, but the biggest
    reason is probably the election for director.
[11:07] Cresson
    There are rumors that the current director,
    Shalbard, is going to retire soon.
[11:11] Cresson
    So he's trying to secure votes in
    preparation for the next election.
[11:16] Cresson
    At this rate, Professor Goldran's
    basically guaranteed to win.
[11:20] Cresson
    And if I ride the coattails of a winner,
    it'll mean a path straight to the top.
[11:24] Zenos
    I appreciate you filling me in like this.
[11:26] Zenos
    You're nicer than I figured.
[11:28] Cresson
    D-Don't be stupid!
    I'm just trying to use you!
[11:32] Zenos
    Since you're feeling so generous with info,
[11:34] Zenos
    I don't suppose you know
    someone named Afread, do you?
[11:36] Cresson
    Afread?
[11:38] Cresson
    The idiot who went missing despite the
    professor's hopes for him. Not a fan.
[11:43] Zenos
    Did anything seem off before he went missing?
[11:45] Cresson
    Hell if I know.
[11:46] Cresson
    He was invited to dinner and
    vanished right afterward.
[11:50] Zenos
    Dinner?
[11:51] Cresson
    The professor occasionally has dinner parties, and he invites all his favorites to them.
[11:55] Cresson
    Getting the invite basically guarantees
    you're one of his people in the future.
[11:59] Cresson
    Damn it! So jealous!
[12:04] Becker
    This has all been very enlightening.
[12:06] Zenos
    Well, that about does it for me, right?
[12:09] Becker
    Oh, hardly!
[12:11] Becker
    This is a good hint, but still
    far from the evidence we need.
[12:15] Becker
    The best thing to do would be to have you
    become one of Professor Goldran's favorites
[12:19] Becker
    so that you could infiltrate
    one of these dinner parties.
[12:22] Becker
    Pull that off and I'll pay you extra.
[12:25] Becker
    In addition to making sure,
[12:27] Becker
    as we originally agreed, that your
    underground operations aren't interrupted.
[12:31] Zenos
    I was kind of hoping to go home soon...
[12:34] Zenos
    However this plays out, once I'm done,
[12:36] Zenos
    I want you to tell me about my teacher.
[12:39] Becker
    Of course. Everything I know.
[12:46] Becker
    Zenos, I have a question for you.
[12:48] Becker
    You see these coins scattered
    on the floor, yes?
[12:53] Becker
    Now, I'd like to pick them up,
[12:56] Becker
    but unfortunately, between
    research and meetings,
[12:58] Becker
    I don't have the necessary time.
[13:00] Becker
    So, if it was you, which
    would you pick up first?
[13:06] Becker
    Do you believe that lives
    should be valued equally?
[13:11] Umin
    Are you in, Dr. Becker?
[13:13] Umin
    Oh, Zenos is here, too.
[13:16] Umin
    Am I interrupting?
[13:18] Becker
    Not at all. Just chatting a bit.
[13:21] Becker
    I've got a meeting, right?
[13:23] Becker
    Where was it again?
[13:24] Umin
    Ugh... I'll show you the way.
[13:27] Becker
    I'm always in your debt.
[13:30] Becker
    I'm counting on you.
[13:36] Zenos
    I'll do what I can.
[13:47] Lynga
    Lynga might be a genius!
[13:52] Lynga
    Now I can sneak into Sir Zenos's bed on
    my own and sniff it as much as I want!
[13:59] Lynga
    Zophia?!
[13:59] Zophia
    Lynga?!
[14:01] Lynga
    What are you doing here?!
[14:03] Zophia
    I was gonna ask you the same thing.
[14:06] Zophia
    Oh, I see.
[14:07] Zophia
    You came to clean up, too?
[14:09] Lynga
    You, too?
[14:12] Loewe
    I'm a genius! Who else would think of
    cleaning the clinic while Zenos was out?!
[14:18] Zophia
    I kinda saw this coming, y'know.
[14:21] Lynga
    And a broken door means even more work...
[14:25] Loewe
    I guess the two of you showed up ahead of me.
[14:39] Zophia
    This is looking good! I did a fine job!
[14:42] Lynga
    Lynga did over half the work!
[14:45] Loewe
    And I have perfectly repaired the door!
[14:47] Both
    You're the one who broke it!
[14:58] Cresson
    I'm providing you the opportunity
    to help my glorious self!
[15:02] Cresson
    That means looking after the
    professor's beloved pup!
[15:05] Cresson
    You just have to watch her.
[15:09] Zenos
    Uh... you do more stuff for
    the lab than this, right?
[15:13] Cresson
    Of course I do!
[15:15] Cresson
    Other than walks, I also provide
    Madam Milk with her meals!
[15:18] Cresson
    In addition to washing
    and grooming... and more!
[15:22] Zenos
    Not exactly the answer I was expecting.
[15:24] Cresson
    The professor's meeting with the seven
    major nobles that he's currying favor with.
[15:29] Cresson
    Man, that's so cool!
[15:31] Cresson
    Then again, if I climb my way
    up the faction's ladder,
[15:34] Cresson
    I could be in the same position soon enough!
[15:38] Zenos
    You're hoping for a promotion, then?
[15:41] Cresson
    Of course I am!
[15:42] Cresson
    Once I become a big deal
    and join the upper crust,
[15:45] Cresson
    I'll have good food, good women,
    and peons to push around!
[15:50] Cresson
    That's why I'm working hard to be a healer!
[15:53] Zenos
    I thought being a healer was
    about, y'know, healing people.
[15:57] Cresson
    Ideally, maybe.
[15:59] Cresson
    I mean, sure, even I had a time when
[16:01] Cresson
    I dreamed about saving a bunch of
    lives or curing a terrible disease,
[16:05] Cresson
    but healing magic isn't all-powerful.
[16:08] Cresson
    There are things it just can't do.
[16:10] Cresson
    Y'know what's more reliable? Money and power!
[16:15] Cresson
    What?
[16:16] Bons
    Hey, Cresson!
[16:18] Bons
    Looking after Goldran's
    high and mighty mutt again?
[16:21] Cresson
    Mr. Bons!
[16:23] Cresson
    I'm doing what I can, yes.
[16:25] Bons
    Damn it all...
[16:27] Bons
    That is one smug-looking mutt.
[16:30] Bons
    Ticks me off.
[16:31] Cresson
    Don't let the professor
    hear you say that, sir!
[16:35] Bons
    Takes more than sucking up
    to get anywhere in life, boy.
[16:39] Zenos
    Who was that?
[16:40] Cresson
    Professor Goldran's first secretary.
[16:43] Zenos
    That guy?
[16:44] Cresson
    Unbelievable, right?
[16:45] Cresson
    They're apparently old friends,
    but he barely does any work,
[16:49] Cresson
    and he's usually drunk all day long.
[16:51] Cresson
    Can't believe he gets the spot of first
    secretary, even if they do go way back.
[16:57] Bons
    Hey, Cresson!
[16:58] Cresson
    Y-Yes?! You called for me?
[17:01] Bons
    You can have this booze!
[17:06] Cresson
    Oh, no! Madam Milk!
[17:14] Cresson
    Milk! Milk!
[17:30] Cresson
    Light of life that dwells deep within,
[17:32] Cresson
    hear my prayers, and let your
    blessing shine forth here!
[17:35] Cresson
    High Heal!
[17:38] Cresson
    It... It's not enough.
[17:41] Zenos
    She should be fine once the
    bleeding's stopped, right?
[17:44] Cresson
    That's not enough!
[17:46] Cresson
    There'll be scars!
[17:49] Cresson
    The professor loves Madam
    Milk's beautiful fur!
[17:53] Cresson
    I'm done for...
[17:55] Cresson
    I'm sorry for making a mess
    of you, too, Madam Milk...
[18:00] Zenos
    Heal.
[18:01] Cresson
    What do you think you're doing?!
[18:03] Zenos
    What's it look like? Casting healing magic.
[18:06] Cresson
    It's pointless! Maybe you have enough
    magic output to take out a zombie king,
[18:10] Cresson
    but the kind of finesse needed
    to regenerate skin is...
[18:14] Cresson
    She's fixed?!
[18:15] Cresson
    There's no trace of a scar!
[18:18] Zenos
    Isn't that the kind of magic Heal is?
[18:20] Zenos
    I fixed the ribs that had been cracked,
    too, so you can continue the walk,
[18:24] Zenos
    but I'd recommend letting
    her rest for today.
[18:29] Cresson
    That's not the kind of magic Heal is, man.
[18:32] Cresson
    Making yourself sound like an elite-grade...
[18:37] Cresson
    Stop right there, special research student!
    Looking after Madam Milk is my job!
[18:50] Umin
    Hello, Zenos... er, Zeno.
[18:53] Zenos
    What's up?
[18:55] Umin
    Well... if you don't mind,
    would you join me for a walk?
[19:01] Zenos
    A walk?
[19:12] Zenos
    Is there something you need to tell me?
[19:14] Umin
    Well... it's...
[19:18] Umin
    I... wanted to apologize.
[19:21] Umin
    It's just...
[19:24] Umin
    If I were more capable,
[19:26] Umin
    I would've been able to get
    Professor Goldran's attention.
[19:30] Umin
    Then you wouldn't have
    been dragged into this...
[19:34] Umin
    I feel guilty.
[19:37] Zenos
    And you asked me out for
    a walk to tell me that?
[19:39] Umin
    Yes. I'm sure an apology from me
    doesn't amount to much, but...
[19:45] Zenos
    I'll be taking payment for my efforts
    from Becker, so it's all good.
[19:49] Zenos
    Don't let it bother you.
[19:50] Umin
    Be that as it may...
[19:52] Zenos
    Besides, without opportunities like these,
[19:55] Zenos
    I never would've set foot
    inside the Royal Hospital.
[19:58] Zenos
    I never would've had a chance
    to learn more about my teacher.
[20:01] Zenos
    There's plenty for me to gain.
[20:03] Zenos
    So you honestly don't need to worry.
[20:06] Umin
    Still, if there's anything
    I can do, just ask.
[20:10] Umin
    Come to think of it, what kind
    of person was your teacher?
[20:15] Zenos
    I honestly don't have much of a clue.
[20:17] Zenos
    He seemed kinda shady, but he taught me how to
    read and write, and about the outside world,
[20:22] Zenos
    to say nothing about diseases, injuries,
    and magic. Taught me a whole bunch.
[20:27] Zenos
    I basically owe him my life.
[20:29] Umin
    That sounds a bit like Dr. Becker and myself.
[20:33] Zenos
    You owe him your life?
[20:35] Umin
    Certainly!
[20:36] Umin
    When I decided to become a
    healer, he mentored me closely.
[20:42] Umin
    Granted, his dedication to research
    caused his girlfriend to leave him,
[20:45] Umin
    so I'm basically looking after him...
[20:48] Zenos
    How do you even know him?
[20:50] Umin
    Did I not mention it?
[20:51] Umin
    He's my mother's little brother.
[20:54] Umin
    My uncle, in other words.
[20:56] Umin
    But I didn't amount to much,
    either in magic or in research.
[21:00] Zenos
    What kind of research are you doing, anyway?
[21:03] Umin
    To put it simply, the storage of medication.
[21:07] Umin
    At what temperature, what humidity, and
    other factors for how they should be stored.
[21:12] Umin
    It's pretty boring.
[21:14] Zenos
    It is.
[21:17] Zenos
    But the most important things in
    life tend to be the boring ones.
[21:21] Umin
    Zenos...
[21:23] Zenos
    That's just something my teacher told me.
[21:26] Umin
    I was trying to apologize, and
    you ended up cheering me up.
[21:31] Zenos
    Sometimes it's best to rely on other people.
[21:35] Zenos
    I get plenty of help in my daily life, too.
[21:38] Zenos
    I can barely even get out of
    bed on my own in the morning.
[21:41] Umin
    You're an interesting person, Zenos.
[21:45] Carmilla
    Another prospective wife, eh?
[21:47] Umin
    What was that?
[21:49] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
    I think we were followed.
[21:51] Umin
    By who?
[21:53] Carmilla
    And yet, not as exciting
    as I had hoped. One star.
[21:57] Zenos
    Quit scoring people.
[22:10] Cresson
    Please! You've gotta help me!
[22:13] Zenos
    Uh...
[22:15] Cresson
    I'm in a real bind here!
[22:16] Cresson
    Please help me!
[22:18] Carmilla
    Now, this looks interesting! Three stars.
[22:22] Zenos
    Seriously, no more scores, okay?

[00:06] 2nd Sec
    Welcome back, Professor.
[00:09] 2nd Sec
    How did your lunch meeting
    with Lord Fennel go?
[00:16] 2nd Sec
    You look upset. Was there a problem?
[00:19] Goldran
    Do you really think I'd cause a problem
    during a lunch with Lord Fennel?
[00:25] 2nd Sec
    No, sir. I apologize.
[00:31] (Flashback) Fennel
    I'd like you to examine
    my daughter, Professor.
[00:34] (Flashback) Fennel
    A week ago, she developed
    a rash on her face.
[00:37] (Flashback) Fennel
    I assumed it would get better on its own,
[00:39] (Flashback) Fennel
    but it seems to be getting bigger over time.
[00:43] (Flashback) Goldran
    That may be a case of Odd Face.
[00:47] (Flashback) Fennel
    Odd Face?
[00:49] (Flashback) Fennel
    Professor, is there
    anything that can be done?
[00:52] (Flashback) Fennel
    I owe you so much already!
[00:54] (Flashback) Fennel
    I'm sure you can manage this.
[00:57] Goldran
    It's not life-threatening,
[00:59] Goldran
    but if the growth is at
    the point that it's visible,
[01:02] Goldran
    that means it's taken root deep already.
[01:04] Goldran
    Considering the amount of cutting that will
    be necessary, it's likely to leave a scar.
[01:11] Goldran
    With enough donors and
    health transfer magic,
[01:14] Goldran
    the skin can be regenerated
    without trouble...
[01:18] Goldran
    but Lord Fennel said his daughter
    would absolutely refuse
[01:21] Goldran
    to let too many people see her face.
[01:24] Goldran
    I can count on one assistant,
    maybe two at most.
[01:32] Goldran
    At times like this,
[01:33] Goldran
    it's best to soothe my nerves
    by gazing at my dear Milk.
[01:43] Bons
    I heard your darling pup
    got run over by a carriage.
[01:46] Goldran
    What?!
[01:48] Goldran
    Are you behind this?!
[01:51] Goldran
    It's about time you learned your place!
[01:53] Bons
    It wasn't me. And I don't
    appreciate the insinuation.
[01:56] Bons
    Besides, I heard the dog-sitter healed
    her and she's all better, anyway.
[02:08] Goldran
    I confirmed with my secretary on the way,
[02:10] Goldran
    and it seems she really was in an accident.
[02:17] Goldran
    Someone capable of healing an injury
    completely, with no trace of scarring...
[02:26] Goldran
    Good girl, good girl!
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[04:02] Cresson
    I'm in a real bind here!
[04:04] Cresson
    Please help me!
[04:10] Cresson
    I was asked to heal the daughter
    of one of the seven major nobles.
[04:13] Cresson
    You know about Odd Face, right?
[04:15] Cresson
    She's come down with that.
[04:17] Cresson
    Don't tell anyone!
[04:18] Zenos
    You just told us...
[04:19] Zenos
    Why the panic? If it's a benign growth,
    she could leave it and be perfectly fine.
[04:23] Cresson
    Even I know that!
[04:25] Cresson
    But she won't attend any of her social
    functions with that thing on her face!
[04:28] Zenos
    Then why not cut it out?
[04:30] Cresson
    It's rooted too deep.
    The excision would cover a huge area!
[04:33] Cresson
    Even textbooks say the scarring is so bad
[04:36] Cresson
    that Odd Face is better left untreated!
[04:38] Cresson
    If I mess up the face of one of
    the seven nobles, I'm done for!
[04:43] Zenos
    Why don't you just make
    sure there's no scar, then?
[04:47] Cresson
    Talking to you always makes
    me question my sanity...
[04:50] Cresson
    It's not that easy for
    normal people, you know!
[04:53] Umin
    I'm curious as to why such a lofty 
    request was made of you, Cresson.
[04:59] Cresson
    Because Professor Goldran has finally
    realized how brilliant I am!
[05:06] Cresson
    That's a lie! Don't give
    me that frosty look!
[05:09] Cresson
    Aren't we classmates?!
[05:11] Cresson
    The professor asked for me after
    what happened with Madam Milk!
[05:15] Umin
    So, just like with the zombie king,
[05:16] Umin
    you stole the credit for something?
[05:19] Cresson
    It's not like that.
[05:20] Cresson
    I told the second secretary that the
    special research student handled it.
[05:25] Umin
    You could always just tell him
    that was the case again,
[05:27] Umin
    and admit that you were totally useless.
[05:29] Cresson
    You're weirdly harsh on me,
    considering we're classmates!
[05:32] Cresson
    Besides, if I tell them it wasn't me again,
[05:35] Cresson
    the second secretary is gonna
    notice and write me off.
[05:38] Cresson
    So, that being the case,
    I need your help, bro!
[05:42] Zenos
    I'm not your bro.
[05:47] Lily
    I made some tea.
[05:48] Cresson
    Who's this?
[05:50] Umin
    Zeno's little sister.
[05:52] Lily
    Thank you for always
    looking after my brother.
[05:55] Cresson
    Wouldn't have expected you
    to have such a cute sister...
[05:58] Lily
    Cute?
[06:01] Lily
    I'm so sorry,
[06:03] Lily
    but I belong to my big brother.
[06:05] Lily
    So no matter how much you compliment
    me, I'll never be yours, Cresson.
[06:08] Cresson
    Not even a "Mister" Cresson?!
[06:10] Cresson
    And you two are that kind of siblings, huh?
[06:13] Zenos
    No, we're not.
[06:15] Cresson
    Still, if you're my bro's sister,
    you're basically mine, too.
[06:19] Cresson
    Nice to meet you, little sis!
[06:21] Zenos
    That's also wrong.
[06:24] Lily
    I don't want a big brother like him!
[06:34] Fennel
    Professor, we've been waiting for you.
[06:37] Goldran
    Lord Fennel, why the sudden summons?
[06:41] Fennel
    Well... the situation's
    become a bit complicated.
[06:48] Fennel
    It seems that Charlotte
    is refusing the surgery.
[06:52] Fennel
    She's locked herself in
    her room, saying that
[06:54] Fennel
    any kind of scar on her
    face is unacceptable.
[06:57] Goldran
    I see.
[06:59] Fennel
    But I have faith that you can treat
    her without leaving a scar, Professor!
[07:04] Goldran
    Yes, of course.
[07:06] Fennel
    So would you please convince my daughter?
[07:11] Goldran
    Understood.
[07:21] Fennel
    Charlotte, the professor is here.
[07:26] Fennel
    It's me, Papa.
[07:28] Fennel
    You should let the professor
    handle your treatment.
[07:30] Fennel
    It'll be fine. Have I ever lied to you?
[07:40] Charlotte
    Papa, you promised me that that
    fire fox pelt scarf for my birthday,
[07:45] Charlotte
    but you didn't get it for me!
[07:50] Goldran
    Miss, my name is Goldran.
    I'm with the royal hospital.
[07:54] Goldran
    Would you be willing to trust
    me to treat your condition?
[07:57] Charlotte
    No!
[07:58] Goldran
    But without surgery,
    your condition can't be fixed.
[08:02] Charlotte
    I absolutely refuse to allow
    a blade near my face!
[08:05] Charlotte
    I bet you were ordered by someone to
    mutilate my beautiful face, weren't you?!
[08:09] Goldran
    Of course not!
[08:10] Goldran
    I bet it's the Geese family's girl.
[08:12] Goldran
    She's always been jealous of me.
    She probably arranged this whole thing.
[08:17] Goldran
    I guess being too pretty
    brings its own problems.
[08:20] Cresson
    Hey, bro.
[08:21] Zenos
    I'm not your bro, but what?
[08:23] Cresson
    I just had an awesome idea.
[08:26] Cresson
    Something even simpler
    than getting promoted.
[08:29] Cresson
    Say I convince her to go under the knife,
    we heal her perfectly, and she falls for me...
[08:33] Cresson
    Then we get married.
[08:36] Cresson
    All of a sudden, I'm a member of
    the aristocracy! It's a perfect plan.
[08:40] Zenos
    Yeah? Hope that works for you.
[08:43] Cresson
    Let me speak to her, please!
[08:47] Cresson
    Excuse me, Miss Charlotte?
[08:50] Charlotte
    And who are you?
[08:51] Cresson
    My name is Cresson.
    I'm the professor's assistant.
[08:55] Charlotte
    What?
[08:56] Charlotte
    Where does some assistant
    get off talking to me?
[08:59] Charlotte
    You're noise pollution!
[09:01] Cresson
    S-Sorry!
[09:03] Cresson
    Bro! I'm gonna work my
    way to the top after all!
[09:07] Cresson
    You can't trust chicks.
[09:09] Zenos
    You sure know how to adapt, huh?
[09:14] Zenos
    Guess it's my turn.
[09:19] Zenos
    Uh, can you hear me?
[09:22] Charlotte
    Another one?
[09:24] Charlotte
    Who are you?
[09:25] Charlotte
    You certainly seem to be lacking in manners.
[09:28] Zenos
    I'm the other assistant.
[09:29] Charlotte
    Again?! Where does some assistant get off—
[09:31] Zenos
    About the surgery. If you don't
    want to do it, that's fine.
[09:37] Zenos
    Anyone would be scared to have
    their face cut open with a knife.
[09:40] Zenos
    And that growth won't kill you,
[09:42] Zenos
    so there's no need to force
    it if you don't want to.
[09:44] Zenos
    It's your call to make.
[09:46] Zenos
    Left alone, the worst you'll have is a
    mark that looks like an old lady's face.
[09:50] Zenos
    Some people even get
    attached to how they look.
[09:52] Zenos
    They even give the growths
    names and everything.
[09:56] Zenos
    Well, that does it for me.
[09:58] Goldran
    What do you think you're doing?!
[10:04] Charlotte
    W-Wait.
[10:07] Charlotte
    Just wait...
[10:13] Cresson
    Oh, wow! Pictures that were
    produced with a magic projector!
[10:17] Cresson
    Do you know how expensive
    it is to get these in color?!
[10:19] Cresson
    These folks really are rich!
[10:22] Charlotte
    So, is that true?
[10:24] Charlotte
    If nothing is done, the growth will
    look like an old woman's face?
[10:28] Cresson
    Yes, that's right! It's—
[10:30] Charlotte
    Keep your mouth shut.
[10:32] Charlotte
    I don't want your breath
    stinking up my lovely room.
[10:39] Goldran
    Yes, it is true, milady.
[10:42] Goldran
    It's called Odd Face, and after about a month,
[10:46] Goldran
    the growth takes the shape
    of an old woman's face.
[10:49] Charlotte
    So, what do I do?!
[10:51] Goldran
    The only way to remove it is via surgery.
[10:54] Charlotte
    I refuse to be cut!
[10:55] Goldran
    But—
[10:56] Charlotte
    I won't be cut! I don't want pain!
[10:59] Charlotte
    And I don't want the growth to stay!
[11:01] Charlotte
    I don't want any of this!
[11:03] Cresson
    This chick is spoiled like crazy.
[11:05] Fennel
    Charlotte, if we don't do something,
    the growth will only get bigger.
[11:10] Fennel
    Why not trust the professor
    to take care of it?
[11:12] Charlotte
    You don't care if my face
    is all scarred up, Papa?
[11:15] Fennel
    It won't be! The professor
    can heal the scars.
[11:19] Charlotte
    Can you guarantee that?!
[11:20] Fennel
    Guarantee...
[11:24] Charlotte
    I refuse unless you can guarantee
    me there will be no scars!
[11:29] Fennel
    Charlotte...
[11:45] Zenos
    You like birds, huh?
[11:47] Charlotte
    Why is another assistant talking to me?
[11:51] Charlotte
    You're fouling the air of
    my room with your breath.
[11:54] Zenos
    We're on the veranda,
    so I'm pretty sure I'm not.
[11:58] Charlotte
    You think you're so clever.
[12:00] Zenos
    One of them is hurt.
[12:07] Charlotte
    I found it in the garden yesterday.
[12:09] Charlotte
    It won't be able to fly again...
[12:12] Charlotte
    just like me.
[12:15] Charlotte
    No more dresses for me. Or dancing at balls.
[12:19] Charlotte
    It won't be long before people
    ignore me altogether.
[12:22] Zenos
    Do you want to get better?
[12:25] Charlotte
    Just stop talking to me.
[12:28] Zenos
    I'll ask again. Do you want
    your illness to get better?
[12:31] Charlotte
    Of course I do! But I don't want any scars!
[12:35] Charlotte
    So stop talking to me!
[12:37] Charlotte
    Who do you think I am?!
[12:39] Zenos
    A patient.
[12:43] Zenos
    If you're in trouble and request
    treatment, you're a patient.
[12:48] Zenos
    I don't care if you're royalty,
    nobility, a civilian, or a peasant.
[12:53] Zenos
    Healing patients is my job.
[13:01] Zenos
    You want to dance again, right?
[13:05] Zenos
    Well, he flew.
[13:08] Charlotte
    I...
[13:10] Charlotte
    Can I fly again?
[13:13] Zenos
    If you want to, yeah.
[13:23] Fennel
    Please, take good care of her, Professor.
[13:29] Zenos
    Did Becker make this sleeping drug, too?
[13:33] Goldran
    All right, time for you two to go to work.
[13:36] Goldran
    This absolutely has to be a success.
[13:39] Goldran
    I'm sure you realize what'll
    happen if you fail.
[13:43] Cresson
    R-Right! Leave it to me!
[13:48] Zenos
    I'll handle the surgery.
[13:50] Cresson
    Bro, have you done this before?
[13:52] Zenos
    When I was a kid, yeah.
[13:53] Cresson
    Huh?
[13:54] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
[13:56] Zenos
    Point is, I have some experience,
    so I should be able to manage.
[13:59] Cresson
    I really picked the right guy for my big bro!
[14:02] Zenos
    I never agreed to that, you know.
[14:05] Goldran
    What are you doing?
[14:07] Goldran
    Dog-sitter, you were the one
    who treated Milk, right?
[14:11] Goldran
    You'll be the surgeon.
[14:13] Cresson
    Uh, but...
[14:16] Goldran
    What is it?
[14:18] Cresson
    Nothing, sir.
[14:20] Goldran
    Then get started already!
[14:22] Cresson
    Yes, sir.
[14:27] Zenos
    So that's what most people
    use for the incisions?
[14:30] Cresson
    What else would you use?
[14:32] Zenos
    Come on, if you keep shaking like that,
    it's only gonna leave a bigger scar.
[14:36] Zenos
    Don't worry. It's not a
    complicated procedure.
[14:39] Cresson
    The textbook says it's A+ difficulty!
[14:42] Goldran
    Hey!
[14:44] Goldran
    What are you babbling about?
[14:45] Cresson
    R-Right.
[14:48] Cresson
    The roots of Odd Face growths are said
    to take hold at 3, 7, and 10 o'clock...
[14:53] Zenos
    One sec.
[14:54] Zenos
    Scan.
[14:57] Cresson
    What was that?
[14:58] Zenos
    I ran an internal check.
[15:00] Zenos
    The directions of the roots can vary,
[15:02] Zenos
    so you shouldn't assume
    common knowledge is correct.
[15:04] Zenos
    In this case, 2, 6, 9, and 10 o'clock.
[15:09] Cresson
    You can tell all that?
[15:11] Zenos
    Can't operate unless you can.
[15:13] Zenos
    I'll whisper the specifics
    to you, so just do as I say.
[15:16] Cresson
    Bro!
[15:35] Goldran
    I'm impressed, dog-sitter.
[15:38] Cresson
    Oh, no...
[15:39] Goldran
    What is it?
[15:41] Cresson
    Well... the roots... are
    tangled with her nerves.
[15:44] Cresson
    To cut them, I'd have to cut the nerves, too—
[15:46] Goldran
    Hold on!
[15:47] Goldran
    Doing that will alter her appearance.
[15:50] Goldran
    Nerves are a lot harder
    to repair than epidermis.
[15:53] Cresson
    B-But if we leave any roots uncut,
    the growth will come back!
[15:56] Cresson
    Maybe we should close her up and try to
[15:58] Cresson
    convince her to undergo a second
    surgery at the royal hospital?
[16:01] Goldran
    It's too late for that!
[16:03] Goldran
    If we don't deal with the growth now, it'll
    likely grow back even stronger than before!
[16:11] Goldran
    We've no choice.
[16:13] Goldran
    Cut it out.
[16:14] Cresson
    Y-You're sure?
[16:16] Goldran
    Leaving a root behind and the resulting
    recurrence will reflect badly on my reputation.
[16:21] Goldran
    Our priority is completely
    removing the growth.
[16:24] Cresson
    But it'll change her appearance!
[16:27] Goldran
    This is bound to affect
    the director's election,
[16:29] Goldran
    but leaving the root will
    end up disfiguring her.
[16:32] Goldran
    The best choice here is
    to minimize the damage.
[16:37] Goldran
    Damn it! I can't believe
    I got stuck with this mess.
[16:46] Goldran
    You imbecile!
[16:50] Goldran
    How could you do this?!
[16:52] Fennel
    Is something wrong, Professor?
[16:54] Goldran
    My idiot assistant ignored
    my orders and cut her nerves!
[16:59] Goldran
    I said that was the one thing not to do!
[17:05] Fennel
    Is that a problem?
[17:07] Goldran
    A major one!
[17:09] Goldran
    And it's your fault, dog-sitter!
[17:11] Goldran
    Since we have no other choice, we'll
    take her to the royal hospital tomorrow,
[17:15] Goldran
    and I'll reconnect the nerves
    with my health transfer magic.
[17:19] Goldran
    It won't restore her completely,
[17:22] Goldran
    but it should be better
    than her current state.
[17:25] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
[17:28] Zenos
    The nerves just had to be cut because the
    roots of the growth were running too deep.
[17:32] Zenos
    You just need to reconnect what was cut.
[17:35] Fennel
    I don't need to worry?
[17:37] Fennel
    My daughter will be fine, then?
[17:39] Zenos
    Yeah, she will be.
[17:41] Zenos
    An injury like this is
    nothing to worry about.
[17:44] Zenos
    And definitely nothing worth
    going to the royal hospital for.
[17:48] Zenos
    Wouldn't you agree, Professor?
[17:50] Goldran
    What?
[17:52] Zenos
    This girl said she wanted to dance again.
[17:54] Zenos
    She was scared, but willing to trust us.
[17:57] Zenos
    As a healer, I need to answer that.
[18:02] Zenos
    All right, I'm getting a little
    tired of standing around.
[18:05] Zenos
    It's time to wrap this up.
[18:18] Zenos
    You did great.
[18:20] Zenos
    The surgery was a success.
[18:30] Fennel
    Charlotte!
[18:31] Charlotte
    Wait, Papa.
[18:33] Charlotte
    A mirror...
[18:36] Charlotte
    Papa... The growth is gone?
[18:40] Fennel
    Yes. They were able to completely remove it!
[18:44] Charlotte
    Thank goodness...
[18:47] Charlotte
    I'm so glad.
[18:49] Fennel
    It really is a relief!
[18:51] Fennel
    Professor Goldran did a perfect job.
[18:54] Charlotte
    Yes...
[18:56] Charlotte
    Where is he?
[18:57] Fennel
    He seems to be busy with the upcoming
    election for hospital director,
[19:02] Fennel
    and I didn't want to keep
    him, so I let him go.
[19:06] Charlotte
    I see...
[19:07] Fennel
    I do, of course, intend to offer him
    my full support in the election.
[19:11] Fennel
    After all, he saved me once,
[19:13] Fennel
    and now he's saved you, as well.
[19:15] Charlotte
    R-Right.
[19:18] Zenos
    You did great.
[19:21] Charlotte
    Say, Papa... What was his name?
[19:25] Fennel
    Whose?
[19:26] Charlotte
    The one with bad manners!
[19:28] Fennel
    Oh, the professor's second
    assistant? What of him?
[19:34] Charlotte
    Wh-What difference does it make?
[19:37] Butler
    Miss, I believe his name was Zeno.
[19:50] Charlotte
    Zeno...
[19:58] Umin
    I appreciate you helping me out.
[20:01] Zenos
    It's fine, but this is a lot of bottles.
[20:03] Zenos
    What's in them?
[20:05] Umin
    These are experimental
    concoctions of Dr. Becker's.
[20:07] Umin
    We're moving them into storage.
[20:11] Zenos
    What kind of drug is it?
[20:12] Umin
    That's a good question.
[20:14] Zenos
    You don't know?
[20:17] Umin
    I'm not sure Dr. Becker knows, either.
[20:20] Zenos
    Shouldn't he, though?
[20:23] Umin
    Well, he always says
    repeated experimentation
[20:25] Umin
    holds the promise of new breakthroughs.
[20:29] Umin
    I just wish he'd consider I feel as the one
    who has to find a way to store the results.
[20:34] Becker
    I am grateful, though.
[20:36] Umin
    Dr. Becker.
[20:38] Becker
    You didn't have to carry them all at once.
[20:41] Umin
    I wanted to make sure they were stored
    in the best condition possible.
[20:46] Becker
    I appreciate that.
[20:47] Becker
    These concoctions are going to be
    particularly valuable this time.
[20:51] Umin
    You say that every time.
[20:54] Becker
    Do I?
[20:56] Becker
    How did your noble surgery go?
[20:59] Zenos
    Well enough.
[21:00] Becker
    I suppose I didn't need to ask.
[21:02] Becker
    Maybe now Professor Goldran
    will think highly of you.
[21:06] Cresson
    Bro!
[21:08] Cresson
    You and I were invited to one of
    Professor Goldran's dinner parties!
[21:15] Umin
    Zeno, that's amazing!
[21:17] Becker
    Congratulations, Zeno.
[21:21] Umin
    Normally, you'd get a big head
    and make snide remarks.
[21:25] Umin
    What's going on?
[21:26] Umin
    Aren't you glad?
[21:28] Cresson
    I mean, I am, but...
[21:31] Umin
    You could be selected to be an officer!
[21:33] Umin
    This is the opportunity for a promotion
    that you've been waiting for!
[21:36] Cresson
    Yeah... That's right!
[21:41] Cresson
    Once I become a big shot,
    I'll push you around!
[21:46] Umin
    Now there's the friendless
    Cresson I remember!
[21:49] Cresson
    Don't call me friendless!
[21:51] Cresson
    I'm pretty self-conscious about that!
[21:54] Cresson
    Let's get a move on, bro!
[21:56] Cresson
    The dinner party is this evening,
[21:58] Cresson
    so I'll see you in the lobby tonight!
[22:01] Umin
    He's taken a real liking to you.
[22:04] Zenos
    I'm not thrilled about it.
[22:07] Becker
    Whatever the case, congratulations.
[22:10] Becker
    I don't think anyone has
    ever been invited to one of
[22:13] Becker
    Professor Goldran's dinner
    parties in such a short time.
[22:16] Becker
    The risk I took in bringing you into
    this matter is really paying off.
[22:20] Becker
    Your job is almost done.

[00:00] 2nd Sec
    Does everyone have their glasses?
[00:03] 2nd Sec
    Professor, if you would please begin.
[00:07] Goldran
    First, as the rumors have suggested,
[00:10] Goldran
    the hospital's current
    director, Lord Shalbard,
[00:12] Goldran
    will be retiring at the end of next month.
[00:15] Goldran
    The election for the vacant
    position will be held soon.
[00:19] Goldran
    Our faction is the largest in the hospital.
[00:23] Goldran
    We have more than enough votes.
[00:25] Goldran
    In addition, one of the seven
    great aristocrats, Lord Fennel,
[00:28] Goldran
    has promised to spare no
    expense in his support.
[00:32] Cresson
    Bro, this is crazy!
[00:34] Cresson
    Things are getting totally crazy!
[00:37] Zenos
    I'm not your brother, though.
[00:39] Cresson
    Aw, don't be like that! Right, little sis?
[00:42] Lily
    I wouldn't want a big
    brother like you, Cresson.
[00:45] Cresson
    Ice cold...
[00:47] Lily
    I'm my brother's guest, but you
    don't have one, huh, Cresson?
[00:53] Cresson
    I just have too many potential
    girlfriends to narrow it down, is all.
[00:56] Lily
    They all said no, huh?
[00:58] Lily
    Poor Cresson.
[01:00] Cresson
    Don't just throw it in my face!
[01:02] Lily
    Did you ask Umin?
[01:04] Cresson
    Huh?
[01:05] Cresson
    Why would I invite her of all people?
[01:09] Lily
    Because you bug her all the time.
[01:12] Lily
    And Carmilla told me that boys always
    bug the girls they like the most!
[01:17] Cresson
    Who the heck is Carmilla?
[01:21] Cresson
    It's fine! I've got my bro, Zeno.
[01:24] Cresson
    I'm gonna stick to him like glue!
[01:27] Zenos
    No, I'd rather you didn't.
[01:30] Goldran
    Those of you gathered here today
[01:33] Goldran
    are the chosen amongst
    all those in our group.
[01:36] Goldran
    Take pride in that!
[01:38] Goldran
    Cheers!
[01:39] Crowd
    Cheers!
[01:41] Cresson
    All right! Time to go suck up to the big shots!
[01:47] Zenos
    We'd better get to work, too.
[01:49] Lily
    Yeah!
[01:52] Zenos
    Afread went missing after being invited
    to a dinner party like this one.
[01:56] Zenos
    There was one thing I heard
    that caught my attention...
[02:00] Zenos
    At the time, Afread had been looking
    after Bons, who was drunk at that party.
[02:06] Zenos
    You're Mr. Bons, right?
[02:09] Bons
    Who the hell are you?
[02:11] Zenos
    I wanted to talk to you about something.
[02:15] Zenos
    At the last dinner party, there
    was a guy named Afread, right?
[02:18] Bons
    Oh, the kid from the other research lab.
[02:22] Bons
    I remember he brought me some
    water after I got hammered...
[02:27] Zenos
    Did you notice anything strange?
[02:28] Bons
    Not that I remember!
[02:30] Bons
    Next thing I knew, the sun was up.
[02:33] Zenos
    I see.
[02:35] Bons
    He was a good kid, though.
[02:38] Bons
    Most of these uppity types
    don't pay me any mind at all.
[02:42] Bons
    Goldran tells 'em I'm a liar
    and to steer clear of me.
[02:50] Zenos
    Why would he do that to the person he
    gave the position of first secretary to?
[02:53] Bons
    Not that I care.
[02:55] Bons
    I owe the man my carefree
    lifestyle, after all.
[02:59] Bons
    Let's hear it for our next hospital director!
[03:03] Lily
    Why'd you become his secretary?
[03:05] Bons
    We just go way back.
[03:07] Lily
    How'd you meet?
[03:08] Bons
    Well...
[03:11] Bons
    What's it matter? Leave me alone.
[03:15] Zenos
    He's totally hammered.
[03:17] Zenos
    He doesn't seem to remember anything.
[03:20] Lily
    But I think he does know something.
[03:29] Lily
    Let's see if we can get him
    a little bit more drunk.
SIGN    The Brilliant Healer's
    New Life in the Shadows
[05:05] Lily
    Uh-huh, uh-huh. Go on.
[05:07] Bons
    It's like I said!
[05:08] Bons
    When I was younger, I wanted
    to be a photographer!
[05:12] Lily
    Wow.
[05:13] Bons
    I know, ain't I amazing?!
[05:16] Lily
    You really are.
[05:18] Bons
    Y'know, back when I was younger...
[05:19] Zenos
    Lily, what is this?
[05:22] Lily
    If a man is drinking, and a girl
    tells him how impressive he is,
[05:26] Lily
    he'll get full of himself
    and just keep talking!
[05:29] Zenos
    And who taught you this?
[05:32] Lily
    Carmilla.
[05:33] Zenos
    That stupid specter...
[05:35] Zenos
    Say, Mr. Bons, what happened that
    time Afread brought you water?
[05:41] Bons
    If I remember right, we went
    outside to get some fresh air.
[05:45] Zenos
    Great idea. Let's see if
    that'll sober you up some.
[05:53] Lily
    What're you gonna do, Zenos?
[05:55] Zenos
    I had an idea.
[05:57] Zenos
    What if we re-create the same
    situation as with Afread?
[06:10] Bons
    Hey, Goldran, look!
    Just like back in the day.
[06:14] Zenos
    Does he think I'm Goldran?
[06:18] Bons
    You're gonna be nobility once you're
    director of the Royal Hospital, right?
[06:23] Bons
    Looks like you've got an in
    with Lord Fennel again, huh?
[06:27] Zenos
    "Again"?
[06:28] Bons
    Come on, don't play dumb!
[06:31] Bons
    That day thirteen years ago is
    why you are who you are now!
[06:37] Zenos
    What day thirteen years ago?
[06:39] Bons
    Come on, don't tell me you forgot!
[06:41] Zenos
    Uh... no, I haven't.
[06:44] Zenos
    Man, it's been thirteen years already, huh?
[06:47] Bons
    The day your life changed, after getting
    nowhere with your research for so long!
[06:53] Bons
    The day of the explosion!
[06:56] Zenos
    Right...
[06:58] Bons
    Lord Fennel's backing got you a spot
    as a professor at the Royal Hospital!
[07:02] Bons
    And this time, you're gonna be director!
[07:05] Bons
    You are a slick one!
[07:14] Lily
    What now, Zenos?
[07:16] Zenos
    I feel like we're on the verge
    of something important,
[07:20] Zenos
    but he's not waking up,
    so I guess we're done.
[07:22] Zenos
    We'll leave him with one of
    the staff and take a break.
[07:30] Lily
    Are you done gathering info?
[07:34] Zenos
    I feel like I missed something...
[07:36] Carmilla
    I see!
[07:38] Zenos
    You scared me...
[07:38] Carmilla
    Allow me to reveal this mystery to you.
[07:42] Zenos
    What are you doing here?
[07:43] Zenos
    This mansion is crawling with healers.
[07:45] Carmilla
    Being a nuisance.
[07:46] Carmilla
    And being a nuisance is the most
    entertaining when it's the most dangerous!
[07:50] Zenos
    That doesn't even make sense.
    Why look so smug about it?
[07:53] Lily
    Can you figure out what happened, Carmilla?
[07:56] Carmilla
    Indeed.
[07:57] Carmilla
    That drunk's rambling gave me
    the gist of what's going on.
[08:01] Carmilla
    I'll have you know, despite appearances,
    I was a world-famous sage.
[08:05] Carmilla
    No mystery remains concealed
    from my unparalleled intellect!
[08:10] Zenos
    Wow, really?
[08:11] Carmilla
    Not at all.
[08:12] Zenos
    Why would you lie about that?
[08:19] Zophia
    Is Doc gonna be back anytime soon?
[08:22] Lynga
    Lynga thinks he will.
[08:24] Loewe
    I feel like I'm going to
    turn to stone from waiting.
[08:27] Zophia
    What are you two even doing here every day?
[08:31] Zophia
    Don't you have people to look
    after instead of loafing around?
[08:35] Lynga
    Lynga knows you're only saying that
[08:37] Lynga
    so you can sniff Sir Zenos's pillow in
    secret once you're the only one here.
[08:42] Loewe
    What?! You've been doing
    that, Zophia?! I'm jealous!
[08:46] Zophia
    I am not like the two of you!
[08:48] Zophia
    All right, enough of that.
[08:51] Zophia
    No point in facing off with you
    two when he's not even here.
[08:54] Lynga
    Agreed.
[08:55] Loewe
    He'd be upset with us if we got
    injured in the process, anyway.
[09:01] Lizardman
    Boss! Zonde got hurt real bad in an accident!
[09:04] Zophia
    What happened?
[09:05] Lizardman
    While we were working, a pillar
    broke, and it went through his gut!
[09:08] Zophia
    When will Doc be back?
[09:11] Lynga
    Lynga thinks if we wait for
    Sir Zenos, it'll be too late.
[09:14] Loewe
    I agree. We need to take him
    to Zenos as soon as we can.
[09:18] Zophia
    We can't.
[09:20] Zophia
    The doc's undercover with a fake identity.
[09:23] Zophia
    We'd ruin the whole thing.
[09:25] Lynga
    Lynga understands how you feel,
[09:27] Lynga
    but this is an emergency.
[09:29] Loewe
    Can you picture Zenos getting upset about it?
[09:35] Zophia
    Let's get ready to go!
[09:36] Zophia
    And we're going to pay him
    double his usual rate!
[09:40] Carmilla
    The day of an explosion, thirteen years ago...
[09:43] Carmilla
    It was the day a man, who had been an
    unremarkable researcher before then,
[09:47] Carmilla
    found his life had changed
    after saving a noble's life.
[09:50] Carmilla
    When you hear of someone owing
    a healer, what do you picture?
[09:53] Zenos
    The normal thing is to assume
    the healer healed them.
[09:57] Zenos
    So some kind of explosion happened
    where Lord Fennel got hurt...
[10:01] Zenos
    And Goldran healed him, I assume?
[10:04] Carmilla
    If it were that simple, it'd be a sweet story.
[10:06] Carmilla
    But consider how this story is kept secret.
[10:10] Zenos
    Why isn't it better known?
[10:12] Carmilla
    Circumstances best kept secret, I'd wager.
[10:14] Lily
    What circumstances?
[10:15] Carmilla
    If there was an explosion,
[10:17] Carmilla
    we can assume the noble
    had been hurt fairly badly.
[10:20] Carmilla
    Yet, Zenos, the person you met
    seemed to be right as rain.
[10:25] Carmilla
    Is that kind of complete healing possible?
[10:29] Zenos
    I mean, as long as the heart's intact,
    you could probably manage.
[10:32] Carmilla
    I wasn't asking about
    your extraordinary case.
[10:34] Carmilla
    Could this Goldran have managed it?
[10:39] Lily
    I think I get it!
[10:41] Lily
    Thirteen years ago, there was an explosion,
[10:44] Lily
    and the aristocrat got hurt...
[10:46] Lily
    But the person who healed him
    didn't take credit for it,
[10:50] Lily
    and when that person wandered off,
    Mr. Goldran happened to show up.
[10:55] Lily
    He made it seem to the aristocrat that
    he was the one who did the healing.
[10:58] Lily
    Mr. Bons saw it all happen
[11:00] Lily
    and used it to blackmail Mr. Goldran!
[11:03] Zenos
    But how does that tie into
    Afread's disappearance?
[11:08] Lily
    Maybe Mr. Bons got drunk at that
    dinner party, like this time,
[11:13] Lily
    and he told Afread the truth.
[11:16] Lily
    Then he went into hiding because
    he was scared that Mr. Bons
[11:22] Lily
    would remember he told him... maybe?
[11:26] Carmilla
    Very impressive, Lily!
[11:28] Lily
    Maybe I could be a detective!
[11:31] Lily
    Zenos's clinic and Lily's detective agency!
[11:35] Lily
    The mystery is unraveled!
[11:38] Cresson
    There you guys are!
[11:40] Cresson
    Since I got a few ins with the bigwigs,
[11:43] Cresson
    I figured I'd introduce you two to them!
[11:45] Lily
    I don't want a big brother
    who's a brown-noser.
[11:48] Cresson
    I will demonstrate how to be a success
    in the world to you, little sis.
[11:51] Cresson
    Come along!
[11:55] Carmilla
    What are you going to do, Zenos?
[11:58] Zenos
    About what?
[11:59] Carmilla
    You know what I mean.
[12:01] Zenos
    You mean the other possibility...
[12:04] Carmilla
    Then you did notice it.
[12:06] Zenos
    Hearing you describe it made me catch on.
[12:08] Zenos
    From the sound of this explosion,
[12:10] Zenos
    I doubted that Lord Fennel
    would be the only victim.
[12:14] Zenos
    A crowd of injured people, one of them
    looking more put-together than the rest.
[12:18] Zenos
    Goldran sought out a noble in
    order to get them in his debt.
[12:21] Zenos
    That's where his life
    transfer magic comes in.
[12:25] Zenos
    If he transferred the remaining life
    force from all those injured...
[12:29] Zenos
    Goldran would've chosen who survived.
[12:31] Carmilla
    And that's a crime?
[12:34] Zenos
    Triage wouldn't be a crime.
[12:36] Zenos
    But to sacrifice other people to save one...
[12:41] Zenos
    That's just...
[12:43] Zenos
    But if anyone survived what happened,
[12:46] Zenos
    and it was Afread... he probably
    wouldn't accept what Goldran did.
[12:50] Carmilla
    Vengeance, then?
[12:51] Zenos
    It's a possibility.
[12:54] Zenos
    Afread... Where in the world are you?
[12:58] Carmilla
    So, what will you do?
[13:01] Zenos
    Just tell Becker what I've learned.
[13:03] Zenos
    Judgment isn't my job.
[13:05] Zenos
    I'm just an underground healer.
[13:07] Carmilla
    I suppose that's true.
[13:11] Zenos
    Thanks, Carmilla.
[13:12] Carmilla
    Huh?
[13:13] Zenos
    You came to check up on me
    because you were worried, right?
[13:16] Zenos
    And thanks to you, I've figured some stuff out.
[13:18] Carmilla
    Fool! I only came to be a
    nuisance, to entertain myself.
[13:22] Carmilla
    Consider my debt to you for
    the zombie king matter repaid.
[13:29] Zenos
    What the...
[13:31] Zenos
    What's up?
[13:32] Cresson
    Bro. There seems to be some
    kinda commotion outside.
[13:39] Lily
    Wait, isn't that Umin?
[13:43] Umin
    I'm trying to tell you...
[13:44] Umin
    I just need to speak with someone named Zeno!
[13:47] Guards
    No one enters without an invitation!
[13:49] Umin
    Then could you please call him over?
    It's a bit of an emergency.
[13:52] Guards
    The professor is hosting this party!
[13:54] Guards
    You don't get to interrupt it.
[13:55] Loewe
    Excuse me!
[13:58] Lily
    Loewe?!
[14:00] Zenos
    What is she doing here?
[14:02] Zophia
    Idiot! Why would you holler like
    that where everyone can hear?!
[14:06] Loewe
    What other choice is there?
[14:08] Zophia
    Plenty! We can't get the doc in trouble.
[14:12] Lynga
    No, Lynga thinks Loewe is right.
[14:15] Lynga
    We don't have enough time
    to take things slow.
[14:18] Lily
    The others are here, too.
[14:21] Zenos
    Yeah...
[14:23] Goldran
    Are those demihumans?
[14:25] Goldran
    What are those lesser creatures
    doing at my mansion?
[14:29] Goldran
    Throw them out at once!
[14:39] Loewe
    There you are, Zenos.
[14:42] Loewe
    Sorry, but it's an emergency!
[14:44] Guest A
    Zeno...s? Wait, the special research student?
[14:47] Guest B
    Does he know these demihumans?
[14:50] Zenos
    What happened?
[14:52] Loewe
    Zonde is hurt badly.
[14:54] Loewe
    We were headed to the Royal Hospital dorms,
[14:56] Loewe
    but we ran into the glasses girl,
    and she told us where you were.
[15:00] Umin
    Uh... Yes, that's right.
[15:02] Goldran
    Hey! What exactly is your relationship
    with these demihumans?
[15:06] Cresson
    B-Bro... Say it ain't so...
[15:09] Zenos
    Loewe, what's Zonde's condition?
[15:11] Loewe
    His breathing is pretty shallow.
[15:13] Zophia
    Doc!
[15:14] Zophia
    I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
[15:18] Zophia
    I didn't wanna mess with your plans...
[15:21] Zophia
    But Zonde... It looks like he's gonna die...
[15:25] Zophia
    I'm begging you... Save him.
[15:29] Zenos
    All right. I'm on my way.
[15:31] Goldran
    Hold it! Are you insane?!
[15:34] Zenos
    No, I'm definitely sane.
[15:36] Goldran
    Impossible! After securing your
    path to glory among my faction,
[15:40] Goldran
    you'd lower yourself to save
    these demihuman peasants?!
[15:43] Goldran
    If you go, there's no coming back!
[15:44] Zenos
    Suit yourself.
[15:46] Goldran
    You don't realize what you're throwing
    away! A path to becoming elite!
[15:52] Zenos
    I'm not interested in being
    part of an elite faction.
[15:56] Zenos
    I'm just a healer.
[15:58] Zenos
    That's all I've ever been.
[16:01] Zenos
    Look after yourself, Cresson.
[16:05] Zenos
    Lily, come on.
[16:06] Lily
    Okay. Up I go!
[16:15] Cresson
    Bro... How could you?
[16:18] Goldran
    You're not as big a fool as he is, I take it?
[16:22] Goldran
    His future is done for.
[16:24] Goldran
    I'll make sure he never
    works as a healer again.
[16:28] Cresson
    You're right. He's a fool.
[16:31] Cresson
    I want to get promoted... get a
    nice house... have a hot woman...
[16:35] Cresson
    That's what I've been working for all along.
[16:40] Cresson
    But whether it was a dog or the
    daughter of a major aristocrat, he...
[16:46] Cresson
    No one likes me anyway, and I'm
    greedy, and people think I'm stupid,
[16:51] Cresson
    but even so...
[16:53] Cresson
    I'm a healer, too, damn it!
[16:56] Goldran
    What?!
[17:01] Cresson
    I, Cresson Wembley, have to withdraw
    from the faction due to circumstances!
[17:08] Cresson
    Bro! Wait up! I'll help with the healing!
[17:16] Zonde
    I'm so... sorry...
[17:18] Zenos
    It's fine.
[17:20] Zophia
    I'm sorry about this, Doc.
[17:22] Zenos
    It's okay. I'm sorry I was missing for so long.
[17:26] Lynga
    See? Just like I said, Sir Zenos doesn't mind.
[17:30] Loewe
    Indeed.
[17:32] Zenos
    We're almost done.
[17:34] Cresson
    Here's Cresson! Let me help with the...
[17:39] Cresson
    Aw, come on! Why'd I even quit?!
[17:43] Umin
    You're as stupid as ever.
[17:45] Cresson
    Sh-Shut up!
[17:47] Umin
    But I heard what you said.
[17:49] Umin
    You may be stupid, but that was also the
    most impressed I've ever been with you.
[17:54] Cresson
    Sh-Shut up! It's thanks to
    you guys I'm in this situation!
[17:58] Cresson
    So you'd better take responsibility.
[18:00] Umin
    Maybe you really are just unpleasant.
[18:04] Cresson
    That's right! I'm as bad as they come!
[18:07] Zophia
    Who's the kid, Doc?
[18:11] Zenos
    How do I put this?
[18:15] Zenos
    He's like a pesky little brother, I guess.
[18:23] Becker
    I see.
[18:25] Becker
    Afread had mentioned being caught
    in a major accident as a child.
[18:30] Becker
    This may have been what he was referring to.
[18:32] Umin
    I had no idea...
[18:35] Becker
    When is the party to celebrate Professor
    Goldran's election to the director's office?
[18:40] Zenos
    Tomorrow.
[18:42] Becker
    Afread may take some action to get revenge.
[18:46] Becker
    I should attend that party.
[18:49] Becker
    Now, putting that aside...
[18:52] Becker
    I appreciate you bringing me
    this valuable information.
[18:55] Becker
    You've done your job, Zenos.
[18:57] Becker
    Thank you for that.
[18:59] Zenos
    You sure?
[19:00] Becker
    That was our arrangement, after all.
[19:02] Becker
    You'll need to stay another
    day for the paperwork
[19:05] Becker
    allowing your special research
    student period to end,
[19:09] Becker
    so I'll provide your other payment—
    regarding your teacher—tomorrow.
[19:14] Zenos
    All right. I understand.
[19:16] Umin
    I'll come by your room this evening, then.
[19:19] Zenos
    Was there something else we needed to do?
[19:22] Umin
    Why, your going-away party, of course!
[19:31] Cresson
    So Bro was hired by Professor Becker
    to investigate a disappearance,
[19:35] Cresson
    and normally runs a clinic in
    an abandoned part of the city,
[19:37] Cresson
    which is how he knows demihumans? For real?
[19:41] Zenos
    Yep. All true.
[19:43] Cresson
    What am I supposed to do when you're gone?!
[19:47] Umin
    This is just pitiful.
[19:49] Cresson
    That's harsh, classmate!
[19:50] Cresson
    Don't you agree, little sis?
[19:53] Lily
    I don't want a pitiful big brother.
[19:55] Cresson
    Even my little sister is harsh!
[19:57] Cresson
    Come on, Bro!
[19:59] Zenos
    You're adaptable enough to
    survive wherever you end up.
[20:03] Cresson
    That doesn't feel like a full compliment...
    What do you think, little sis?
[20:07] Zenos
    Lily isn't actually my little sister.
[20:10] Cresson
    Seriously?!
[20:11] Lily
    I'm sorry for lying, Cresson.
[20:13] Lily
    I'm actually Zenos's wife!
[20:16] Cresson
    F-For real?!
[20:18] Zenos
    No, not for real.
[20:20] Cresson
    I must be losing it...
[20:21] Cresson
    I'm even seeing something that looks
    like a wraith behind that pillar.
[20:27] Zenos
    Why did you come out, Carmilla?
[20:29] Carmilla
    How could I not?
[20:31] Carmilla
    That boy is drowning in my liquor!
[20:34] Zenos
    It's just some stuff you
    snuck out of Goldran's house.
[20:36] Carmilla
    That wine desires to be drunk by me.
[20:39] Umin
    Zenos?
[20:42] Zenos
    Don't worry, it's fine.
[20:43] Zenos
    She's got a good heart.
[20:45] Umin
    A good-hearted... wraith? What?
[20:49] Carmilla
    You're the only one I'd allow to
    speak about me in such a way.
[20:53] Carmilla
    Do not drink all of it.
[20:55] Carmilla
    If you do, I'll curse you and your descendants.
[21:08] Carmilla
    What has you spacing out?
[21:11] Zenos
    I'm from the slums, and was treated
    terribly by the party I worked with,
[21:14] Zenos
    but the two of them don't
    treat me any different.
[21:17] Zenos
    Finding out people like that
    exist is a bit of a relief.
[21:20] Carmilla
    Sad to part with them?
[21:23] Zenos
    Could be. But I'm used to saying goodbye.
[21:27] Carmilla
    Meeting people, parting with them,
    and meeting again, should it be fated.
[21:32] Carmilla
    That cycle, repeated, is human life itself.
[21:35] Carmilla
    It's how we learn the width
    and depth of the world.
[21:39] Zenos
    You actually make sense occasionally.
[21:42] Carmilla
    You learn a thing or two
    after living for 300 years.
[21:44] Zenos
    Except you're dead.
[21:49] Zenos
    Well, I appreciate everything.
[21:52] Umin
    You're the one who's helped us.
[21:55] Cresson
    Bro!
[21:57] Umin
    Oh, right!
[21:58] Umin
    Dr. Becker asked me to give you a letter
    containing the details about your teacher.
[22:07] Umin
    This... was inside his desk...

[00:04] Goldran
    With all these votes secured,
[00:06] Goldran
    I'm guaranteed to become hospital director.
[00:09] Fennel
    Hello there, Professor Goldran.
[00:11] Goldran
    Lord Fennel.
[00:13] Fennel
    As my savior, it's appropriate that you'll
    finally have standing to reflect that.
[00:18] Goldran
    Thank you for such generous praise.
[00:22] Goldran
    I've finally made it here...
[00:25] Goldran
    It all began with that explosion in the
    magic tool factory thirteen years ago.
[00:30] Goldran
    That day, I was heading back to my hometown
    after my research yielded no results.
[00:35] Goldran
    I thought that if I saved an aristocrat's life,
    their gratitude could get me somewhere.
[00:40] Goldran
    It was the first time
[00:41] Goldran
    I had successfully used my health transfer
    magic with a donor other than myself.
[00:46] Goldran
    Lord Fennel being one of the seven great
    nobles was an unexpected windfall.
[00:51] Goldran
    The only downside was that Bons
    captured the moment on camera,
[00:55] Goldran
    which led me to give him the
    position of first secretary,
[00:57] Goldran
    and the lifestyle that came
    with it, to keep him quiet.
[01:01] Fennel
    I'll see you later, then.
[01:04] Becker
    Well, this is impressive!
[01:07] Becker
    You've really made something
    of yourself, Professor Goldran.
[01:11] Goldran
    Ah, Becker.
[01:13] Goldran
    Here to ingratiate yourself with
    the next director already?
[01:17] Becker
    I don't have a problem with
    you seeing it that way.
[01:21] Goldran
    That special research student was
    here on your recommendation, yes?
[01:26] Goldran
    I had taken a shine to him,
    thinking he'd be useful,
[01:28] Goldran
    but he turned out to be a waste of time.
[01:30] Becker
    Did he offend you somehow?
[01:32] Goldran
    He was invited to one of my dinner parties,
[01:35] Goldran
    yet chose to leave to heal some
    demihumans who barged in.
[01:38] Goldran
    An act of inconceivable idiocy.
[01:41] Goldran
    A member of my faction cannot
    prioritize peasants for healing.
[01:46] Goldran
    He needs to consider our position as healers.

    New Life in the Shadows
[03:25] Fennel
    Looking back now, my relationship with
    Professor Goldran began thirteen years ago,
[03:29] Fennel
    when, after I had been seriously wounded—
[03:32] Goldran
    Lord Fennel.
[03:33] Goldran
    I'm sure there's no need
    to share such a sad story.
[03:35] Fennel
    Oh? It seems our star would rather
    not discuss his past glories.
[03:39] Fennel
    How humble is that, for someone on the
    verge of becoming the next director?
[03:46] Fennel
    Well, let's hear from the man himself, then.
[03:49] Goldran
    It's an honor, sir.
[03:52] Goldran
    At this moment, my life has reached its apex.
[03:57] Goldran
    I propose a toast to our bright future!
[04:03] Zenos
    Is this from thirteen years ago?
[04:06] Umin
    Dr. Becker mentioned meeting
    Mr. Bons yesterday,
[04:10] Umin
    but I wasn't expecting this.
[04:12] Umin
    He looks pretty young in the picture,
    but I'm pretty sure this is Afread!
[04:16] Umin
    Then the theory of him surviving
    this accident is true.
[04:22] Umin
    Why?!
[04:24] Umin
    This woman is...
[04:29] Goldran
    What's happened?
[04:35] Goldran
    Becker?
[04:36] Becker
    It's poison, Professor.
[04:38] Goldran
    Poison?!
[04:39] Becker
    Mixed in with the wine
    that we all toasted with.
[04:43] Becker
    Poison and medicine are two
    sides of the same coin.
[04:45] Becker
    And preparing medicine is my specialty.
[04:49] Goldran
    What is this?!
[04:52] Becker
    It's a toxin that causes loss of consciousness
    before gradually ending one's life.
[04:56] Becker
    Which should occur in roughly
    one hour, without intervention.
[04:59] Becker
    The dose in your glass was slightly weaker,
[05:04] Becker
    but still, I'd wager you won't last two hours.
[05:07] Goldran
    What do you think you're doing?!
[05:09] Becker
    Isn't it obvious?
[05:11] Becker
    Recreating that moment
    from thirteen years ago.
[05:13] Goldran
    You... How do you know about that?!
[05:17] Becker
    I've had my suspicions for a while now,
[05:20] Becker
    but it was our talented special research
    student who made it clear to me.
[05:25] Goldran
    What did he do now?
[05:28] Becker
    He found a lead for me to follow.
[05:30] Becker
    And Mr. Bons was reluctant to talk,
[05:33] Becker
    so I used a combination of alcohol
    and medicine to loosen his lips.
[05:36] Becker
    Finding the picture was pure luck, though.
[05:38] Goldran
    I thought I had gotten rid of that...
[05:40] Becker
    He had another copy, apparently.
[05:43] Becker
    Looks like you're a poor judge of character.
[05:45] Goldran
    Shut up!
[05:47] Becker
    "Not all lives have equal value."
[05:50] Becker
    Professor Goldran, thirteen years ago,
[05:53] Becker
    that belief led you to
    choose whose life to save...
[05:57] Becker
    and to sacrifice the lives of others.
[06:00] Goldran
    They would have died anyway!
[06:02] Becker
    In your estimation, at least.
[06:04] Becker
    But Afread was among their number.
[06:09] Becker
    As was my fiancée.
[06:13] Becker
    I've ensured you have enough strength
    left to use health transfer magic.
[06:17] Becker
    Preventing the poison's progression
    will require a fair bit of life force,
[06:22] Becker
    but there are plenty of lives here to use.
[06:25] Becker
    So, who will you sacrifice this time?
[06:28] Becker
    Who will you save?
[06:30] Becker
    Your own life?
[06:31] Becker
    Lord Fennel? Or the members of the
    faction who've given their votes to you?
[06:37] Becker
    Go on. It's time to choose who lives.
[06:42] Goldran
    I know! An antidote!
    There must be one, right?!
[06:46] Goldran
    Give it to me now!
[06:47] Goldran
    And I'll see that your
    punishment isn't too harsh.
[06:52] Goldran
    What are you doing?
[06:55] Becker
    I took a small enough dose
    to retain consciousness...
[06:58] Becker
    But it really does have
    quite a kick, doesn't it?
[07:01] Becker
    And now I'm poisoned myself.
[07:05] Becker
    You have one more option now.
[07:08] Becker
    You can believe that I have an antidote
    and save my life, if you like.
[07:12] Goldran
    You can't think you'll get away with this.
[07:16] Becker
    I'd stay focused if I were you,
    or you'll run out of lives to exploit.
[07:21] Goldran
    Damn you!
[07:25] Goldran
    Who do I save?
[07:26] Goldran
    Myself first.
[07:28] Goldran
    Then Lord Fennel.
[07:30] Goldran
    If there's no guarantee
    that he has an antidote,
[07:33] Goldran
    then the sacrifice should be...
[07:36] Goldran
    Woven into a single ray of light,
[07:39] Goldran
    let the lost embers of life be your guide,
[07:42] Goldran
    so that they may find their way home.
[07:45] Goldran
    Give Heal!
[07:47] Becker
    That is your choice, then?
[07:50] Goldran
    They have a duty to serve me.
[07:55] Becker
    That's a shame.
[07:56] Becker
    I already told you, your dose
    was weaker than the others'.
[08:01] Goldran
    What difference does that make?
[08:03] Becker
    That means you have the most
    life force among everyone here.
[08:09] Becker
    If you had used that life force, you could
    have saved the largest number of people.
[08:13] Goldran
    I am worth more than other healers!
[08:17] Becker
    Then you insist that not
    all life is of equal value?
[08:21] Goldran
    Obviously!
[08:22] Goldran
    Even among coins, you have
    gold, silver, and bronze!
[08:27] Goldran
    Life is the same way!
[08:28] Goldran
    What sense does it make to
    not save the most worthy?!
[08:36] Becker
    Well, now...
[08:38] Umin
    Dr. Becker!
[08:40] Becker
    Umin? What are you doing here?
[08:44] Umin
    We found a picture in your room,
[08:46] Umin
    and your former fiancée was in it.
[08:50] Umin
    I got a bad feeling.
[08:52] Zenos
    You poisoned them?
[08:54] Becker
    Zenos...
[08:56] Umin
    Dr. Becker, why would you do this?!
[09:01] Becker
    Are all lives equally valuable?
[09:03] Becker
    I've considered the question for a long time.
[09:06] Becker
    Thirteen years ago, my fiancée
    and I were rookie healers.
[09:12] Becker
    Her eyes would shine as she talked about
    all the lives she wanted to save.
[09:17] Becker
    When I heard she was caught
    in an explosion and died,
[09:22] Becker
    the ruthlessness of death,
[09:24] Becker
    and God's lack of mercy,
[09:26] Becker
    drove me into the depths of grief.
[09:30] Becker
    If it had just been a random accident,
[09:32] Becker
    I would've carried on in her place,
    trying to save other people.
[09:37] Becker
    But after attending that dinner party,
    Afread told me that it wasn't an accident,
[09:43] Becker
    and that Goldran was involved.
[09:46] Umin
    That's what happened?
[09:48] Becker
    It was the last thing he
    said to me before vanishing.
[09:52] Becker
    And the thought of my fiancée having been
    murdered rather than dying in an accident...
[09:56] Becker
    I couldn't maintain my composure.
[09:59] Becker
    But without any evidence,
    and with Afread missing,
[10:03] Becker
    I couldn't pursue the truth, either.
[10:07] Zenos
    Which is why you hired me.
[10:09] Becker
    Ideally, you'd find Afread.
[10:11] Becker
    But, if nothing else, you could get into the
    dinner party and get some kind of information.
[10:16] Umin
    But... This is just...
[10:18] Becker
    Umin, I'm so sorry.
[10:21] Becker
    But I—
[10:22] Cresson
    Shut up!
[10:24] Becker
    Cresson?
[10:26] Cresson
    Look, I get it.
[10:27] Cresson
    If something that messed up
    had happened to my lover,
[10:31] Cresson
    I wouldn't be able to take it.
[10:32] Cresson
    Even though I don't have one!
[10:34] Cresson
    And you're right about one thing: Goldran over
    there is a huge piece of crap. No doubt about it.
[10:39] Goldran
    You wretch!
[10:40] Cresson
    But this isn't it!
[10:43] Cresson
    It's not right!
[10:45] Cresson
    Wanting revenge so badly, you poison
    people who have nothing to do with it?!
[10:48] Cresson
    That's not how it should be!
[10:51] Cresson
    Aren't you a healer?!
[10:53] Cresson
    I thought we were supposed to save people!
[10:57] Zenos
    Well said, Cresson.
[11:00] Zenos
    Hey, Becker, remember when you asked me
[11:03] Zenos
    which coins I would pick up when a
    bunch were scattered on the ground?
[11:08] Zenos
    It was a stupid question.
[11:10] Zenos
    I'd pick them all up.
[11:12] Becker
    All of them?
[11:14] Zenos
    I grew up poor, you know.
[11:18] Becker
    You seriously intend to save everyone?
[11:21] Becker
    Why? How does it benefit you?
[11:24] Zenos
    It's true that I've already
    finished the job you hired me for,
[11:29] Zenos
    but if I don't do anything, you're
    gonna end up guilty of mass murder.
[11:33] Zenos
    And there's someone who'd
    be worse off if that happened.
[11:35] Umin
    Zenos...
[11:37] Umin
    Will you save them?
[11:40] Zenos
    It's payback for the going-away party.
[11:42] Zenos
    Never had someone say they were
    sad to see me leave before.
[11:46] Zenos
    Normally, people get sick
    of me, and I get kicked out.
[11:49] Becker
    Zenos, you intend to save these people,
[11:54] Becker
    but it's difficult to provide accurate antidote
    magic without knowing the specifics of the toxin.
[11:59] Zenos
    You gonna tell me the details, then?
[12:02] Zenos
    Do you even know them yourself?
[12:05] Becker
    What are you—
[12:06] Zenos
    Never mind. Don't have a lot of time, anyway.
[12:12] Zenos
    Heal!
[12:15] Becker
    Heal? A normal Heal spell?!
[12:19] Becker
    That might repair the damage it does,
[12:21] Becker
    but it won't purge the poison
    from their systems!
[12:24] Zenos
    I can encourage the body's
    natural healing, though.
[12:27] Becker
    Those effects are temporary!
[12:29] Becker
    The poison has already spread to—
[12:32] Becker
    Don't tell me...
[12:34] Zenos
    I'm no toxicologist,
[12:36] Zenos
    but the effects must wear off sooner or later.
[12:39] Becker
    You seriously intend to heal all these
    people until the poison has run its course?!
[12:44] Zenos
    It's an endurance test between
    the poison and my healing magic.
[12:48] Zenos
    You'd be surprised
    how competitive I can be.
[12:58] Becker
    You are just...
[13:00] Cresson
    I got your back, Bro!
[13:02] Umin
    Likewise!
[13:03] Zenos
    Focus your healing on
    whoever looks the weakest!
[13:06] Umin
    Right!
[13:06] Cressonm
    Got it!
[13:11] Zenos
    You have a subordinate and an
    underclassman cleaning up your mess.
[13:14] Zenos
    You'd better be grateful.
[13:16] Becker
    I can't believe you're capable of casting
    Heal over this length of time.
[13:20] Becker
    That's not how this spell works.
[13:23] Zenos
    It's not?
[13:25] Becker
    I already thought you were remarkable,
    but this is just absurd.
[13:29] Zenos
    I didn't get a proper education, after all.
[13:33] Becker
    My fiancée became a healer to save lives.
[13:38] Becker
    She was an admirable woman
    who had high-minded goals.
[13:41] Zenos
    Yeah.
[13:43] Becker
    Goldran killed her... And the thought
    of him becoming the next director...
[13:48] Becker
    I couldn't let that happen!
[13:50] Becker
    I couldn't allow someone who was her
    opposite in every way to rise to the top!
[13:54] Zenos
    I know.
[13:57] Becker
    The longer I've spent here,
    the more I've realized...
[14:01] Becker
    There's so much disparity in the world.
[14:03] Becker
    There are people who can afford
    the most advanced healing,
[14:06] Becker
    and people who can barely afford
    the most meager medication.
[14:09] Zenos
    Yeah.
[14:11] Becker
    "Are all lives equal in value?"
[14:14] Becker
    That question may have consumed
    me more than I realized.
[14:20] Becker
    Seeing them so desperate to save lives...
[14:23] Becker
    Maybe they're the ones who have
    inherited my fiancée's spirit.
[14:28] Becker
    Zenos, thank you.
[14:31] Zenos
    No thanks necessary.
[14:33] Zenos
    But I am tired as hell,
    so I'm gonna need bonus pay.
[14:38] Goldran
    W-Wait a moment!
[14:40] Goldran
    I haven't been healed!
[14:44] Zenos
    Oh. I forgot.
[14:46] Goldran
    Don't you mock me!
[14:48] Goldran
    I command you... to save me!
[14:51] Zenos
    I was kicked out of your faction,
[14:53] Zenos
    so I don't take orders from you.
[14:55] Goldran
    You people! Save me, damn it!
[15:00] Faction Member A
    It's only in fragments, but
    I remember what happened...
[15:03] Faction Member B
    After I lost consciousness, it felt
    like my life was being drained.
[15:07] Faction Member C
    Professor, were you going to sacrifice us?
[15:13] Zenos
    And that's what they think of your demands.
[15:16] Zenos
    But as long as I get my money,
    I don't play favorites.
[15:20] Zenos
    I'm an underground healer, after all.
[15:22] Zenos
    So if you want my help, it's gonna cost you.
[15:26] Goldran
    Cost me?
[15:27] Zenos
    Considering how tired I am,
    another round of healing is gonna take...
[15:32] Zenos
    about this much.
[15:34] Goldran
    Ridiculous! I'm not paying that amount!
[15:38] Zenos
    Yeah? Never mind, then.
[15:40] Goldran
    Wait, wait wait wait!
[15:42] Goldran
    I'll pay! You'll get your money. Just save me!
[15:45] Fennel
    Goldran.
[15:47] Fennel
    We're going to discuss this
    matter in detail later.
[15:52] Goldran
    Damn it... Damn it!
[16:02] Becker
    I've never been interrogated before.
[16:04] Becker
    Quite the experience!
[16:07] Umin
    Dr. Becker...
[16:08] Becker
    I have to say, considering the incident was
    yesterday and the investigation is ongoing,
[16:13] Becker
    I'm impressed you got permission to see me.
[16:16] Zenos
    I actually have an acquaintance
    in the royal guard.
[16:19] Becker
    You do?
[16:21] Krishna
    Good to see you again, Mr. Zenos.
[16:24] Krishna
    I'm touched that you'd use a meeting with
    a suspect as an excuse to come and see me.
[16:29] Zenos
    I'm, uh, not here to see you, actually.
[16:33] Zenos
    But I do appreciate you arranging this.
[16:36] Zenos
    Thank you.
[16:38] Krishna
    Please! It's nothing,
    considering what I owe you.
[16:42] Becker
    Um... how do you two know each other?
[16:46] Zenos
    Don't worry about it.
[16:48] Zenos
    I came to ask you some questions today.
[16:51] Becker
    Questions?
[16:53] Umin
    Dr. Becker, you didn't actually
    poison anyone, did you?
[16:58] Becker
    In a sense, yes. You're correct.
[17:00] Umin
    In a sense?
[17:02] Becker
    I would use a poison to create a situation
    like the one from thirteen years ago,
[17:07] Becker
    and, under the pressure,
    Goldran would confess his crimes.
[17:13] Becker
    That was my original plan.
[17:16] Umin
    B-But you said you didn't poison anyone...
[17:19] Becker
    I had prepared a drug that would
    only temporarily paralyze the body.
[17:24] Becker
    My intention was to lie to Goldran
    about it being a lethal toxin.
[17:30] Becker
    At first, I thought I had made a
    mistake in preparing the drug,
[17:34] Becker
    but that wasn't it.
[17:35] Becker
    The natural conclusion is
    that someone other than me
[17:38] Becker
    tampered with the wine,
    using a different chemical.
[17:42] Zenos
    And you think that was Afread?
[17:44] Becker
    Most likely.
[17:46] Becker
    He may have been there that night.
[17:49] Becker
    Pretending to take a dose of the poison,
[17:51] Becker
    blending in among the collapsed healers,
    and watching how events unfolded.
[17:55] Umin
    Then Afread would be the one who—
[17:58] Becker
    No. I'm still guilty.
[18:01] Becker
    I realized there was an
    actual poison in the wine,
[18:04] Becker
    but I was desperate.
[18:06] Becker
    At that point, I didn't care if
    everyone died, including myself.
[18:11] Umin
    Dr. Becker...
[18:13] Krishna
    You don't need to worry about him.
[18:16] Krishna
    Considering he didn't intend to poison
    anyone and he's an acquaintance of yours,
[18:20] Krishna
    I can use my authority as vice captain
    of the order to see him released.
[18:24] Zenos
    Maybe go through due process instead?
[18:27] Krishna
    If it's a request of yours, Mr. Zenos,
    I'm prepared to bare it all,
[18:32] Krishna
    embarrassing though it might be.
[18:33] Zenos
    What are you even talking about?
[18:36] Umin
    I don't care what authority you
    have to use! Please, do it!
[18:43] Becker
    Zenos.
[18:45] Zenos
    What's up?
[18:46] Becker
    I'm sure you've realized, but...
[18:49] Zenos
    You're talking about the
    Afread in the picture, right?
[18:51] Zenos
    It's hard to believe he survived
    having his life drained by Goldran,
[18:54] Zenos
    considering the situation.
[18:56] Becker
    Right. Which raises the question:
    who was the Afread I encountered?
[19:01] Becker
    Or maybe... What was he?
[19:04] Becker
    This may not be as simple as
    revenge for thirteen years ago.
[19:08] Becker
    And you were the one who foiled his plans.
[19:13] Becker
    He may turn his ire toward you next, Zenos.
[19:17] Zenos
    I'd rather avoid any trouble,
[19:20] Zenos
    but if this guy really does show up,
[19:22] Zenos
    I'll hit him with a bill for
    all the trouble he's caused.
[19:27] Becker
    It's reassuring to know he's out there.
[19:29] Krishna
    Yeah.
[19:31] Krishna
    And if I'm being honest,
    I'm a bit jealous that Mr. Zenos
[19:35] Krishna
    went out of his way to come and visit you.
[19:38] Becker
    Being honest with me, eh?
[19:40] Becker
    But it was likely for Umin's sake.
[19:43] Krishna
    I like that even less.
[19:45] Becker
    She was a part of my minor laboratory,
[19:48] Becker
    on top of being my niece.
[19:50] Becker
    My being under suspicion of murder
    puts her in a precarious position,
[19:55] Becker
    which is why he wanted my
    innocence on the record.
[19:59] Krishna
    He'd go so far for that girl?
[20:01] Becker
    "I'd pick up all the coins."
[20:04] Becker
    Something Zenos said.
[20:06] Becker
    All the coins...
[20:09] Becker
    The lives he intended to save didn't just
    include the poisoned healers, but Umin, as well.
[20:15] Becker
    Even Goldran.
[20:16] Becker
    He could've ignored him and let him die,
[20:18] Becker
    so he was saved in a sense, as well.
[20:21] Krishna
    In that case, I'd say you were
    one of those coins, as well.
[20:30] Becker
    He really is a remarkable fellow.
[20:36] Guide
    I was looking forward
    to this experiment, too.
[20:39] Guide
    Zenos, you and I just keep
    running into each other.
[20:44] Guide
    How do people think and react
    in extreme circumstances?
[20:49] Guide
    I could've gained even more valuable
    data if he hadn't gotten in the way.
[20:56] Guide
    Afread, this vessel of yours isn't bad at all.
[21:01] Guide
    You'll be staying with me a bit longer.
[21:09] Zenos
    Well, I'm off.
[21:11] Umin
    You're the one who prevented
    the group poisoning.
[21:14] Umin
    I hate that everyone being half-conscious
    means you won't get the credit for it.
[21:20] Cresson
    Ditto.
[21:22] Zenos
    Nah. This is all the reward I need.
[21:25] Lily
    Let's go, Zenos.
[21:27] Lily
    Everyone's waiting.
[21:29] Zenos
    Time to take off, then.
[21:31] Lily
    See you around, Umin!
[21:34] Lily
    And you, too, my weird big brother!
[21:36] Umin
    Right. Thank you both for so much!
[21:39] Cresson
    Little sis! I'm psyched you finally
    called me "big brother" in the end!
[21:44] Cresson
    I love ya!
[21:57] Zenos
    Goodbye, Royal Hospital.
[22:01] Carmilla
    "And so, having resolved the incident,
    Zenos the underground healer
[22:05] Carmilla
    went on to get caught in another mess."
[22:08] Zenos
    Seriously, stop making ominous declarations!
[23:45] Lily
    Coming!
[23:48] Lily
    Hello.
[23:50] Lily
    Come right in.
[23:51] Lily
    Are you a new patient?
