[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.
