[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?
SIGN    Turf War
[23:57] Zenos
    "Turf War."
