[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.
