[00:02] Luciel
    Good evening!
[00:05] Adventurer A
    A healer...
[00:06] Adventurer B
    What does he think he's doing here?
[00:09] Luciel
    Maybe it's because of my robe,
    but I can feel them all staring.
[00:14] Luciel
    Is the master available?
[00:16] Luciel
    Here, too?
[00:17] Master
    Hey, Luciel. What's going on?
[00:20] Luciel
    I'd like ten barrels of Substance X, please.
[00:23] Master
    Ten?! If you say so...
[00:26] Luciel
    I think they're all staring
    for a different reason now.
[00:31] Master
    By the way, since you're the maso-zombie
     healer, I have a favor to...
[00:35] Master
    er, a request to ask of you.
[00:37] Luciel
    What kind of request?
[00:39] Master
    I'd like you to take up your trade here
    like you did in Merratoni.
[00:44] Luciel
    Unfortunately, I don't think I can
[00:48] Luciel
    since I'm currently working
    at church headquarters.
[00:51] Master
    Hmm, then what if I request
    treatment from you as an adventurer?
[00:57] Luciel
    If there are adventurers in trouble,
    I should lend a hand.
[01:00] Luciel
    That's what I promised in Merratoni.
[01:04] Luciel
    And maybe I can repay Master Brod
    and the others this way.
[01:08] Luciel
    I'm also an adventurer, after all,
[01:10] Luciel
    so if you call on me as such,
     I can accommodate.
[01:13] Master
    Really?! All right, first, your Substance X!
[01:16] Master
    Wait right there.
[01:19] Luciel
    What's going on?
[01:21] Milty
    Recently, some very high-level
    monsters have been appearing.
[01:24] Milty
    Lots of folks have suffered grave injuries.
[01:26] Luciel
    Is that why the master is looking so down?
[01:29] Milty
    The adventurers are like family to him.
[01:32] Luciel
    Why don't they go to a clinic?
[01:35] Milty
    You expect them to cough up gold
    when they're terribly injured?!
[01:38] Milty
    Do you want them to
    become slaves or something?
[01:41] Master
    Milty. That's enough.
[01:43] Master
    It's hard to explain.
    Will you fulfill my request?
[01:48] Luciel
    I don't come cheap.
[01:50] Luciel
    It'll cost one silver coin per person.
[01:53] Luciel
    I won't charge any more than that.
    My price is firm!

[03:36] Elitz
    Hey, hang in there!
[03:38] Adventurer C
    It's too late... I'm done for...
[03:42] Elitz
    We're out of options.
    I'm taking you to a clinic.
[03:45] Adventurer C
    Idiot... I ain't made of money.
[03:50] Adventurer C
    I really had a blast with you guys...
[03:53] Elitz
    Hey!
[03:56] Elitz
    I don't care who...
    Please, somebody help!
[04:00] Master
    There's quite a few of them.
[04:02] Master
    Can you handle it?
[04:03] Luciel
    Yes. Let me take a look first.
[04:06] Elitz
    Hey! What the hell're you doing here?!
[04:08] Adventurer D
    It's one of those cold, heartless healers!
[04:11] Adventurer
    Go to hell!
[04:12] Elitz
    Get out of here!
[04:13] Adventurer E
    No, kill him!
[04:15] Luciel
    Eek!
[04:16] Master
    Quiet down, you fools!
[04:20] Master
    This guy... I mean,
    this distinguished individual
[04:24] Master
    is the very urban legend from Merratoni!
[04:26] Master
    The maso-zombie healer!
[04:31] Master
    He says he'll help for a single silver coin.
[04:33] Master
    If you got a problem with that,
    you get out of here!
[04:36] Adventurer G
    Is he truly the legendary
    maso-zombie healer?
[04:39] Adventurer F
    So those weren't just tall tales?
[04:41] Adventurer D
    Will you really help us for one silver coin?
[04:44] Adventurer E
    If he's seriously the legendary maso-zombie,
     we might all be saved!
[04:48] Adventurer C
    Maso-zombie-sama...
[04:51] Cat person B
    Maso-zombie-sama! Hurry and treat us!
[04:54] Luciel
    Wait a—
[04:55] Adventurers
    The masochist! The masochist!
[04:56] Luciel
    Eh?
[04:58] Luciel
    What?
[04:58] Adventurers
    Zombie! Zombie!
[05:01] Adventurers
    The masochist! The masochist!
[05:02] Luciel
    I don't like this one bit!
[05:04] Luciel
    At this rate, I'll be stuck with
    the zombie nickname forever!
[05:09] Luciel
    Please listen!
[05:11] Luciel
    I do not wish to take work away from clinics,
[05:14] Luciel
    so I will not be able to treat you every time,
[05:18] Luciel
    but please don't riot or attack the clinics
     for being too expensive.
[05:22] Luciel
    I can only help out because I happened
     to be here picking up Substance X.
[05:27] Luciel
    Now, I'll treat you all with three conditions.
[05:31] Luciel
    It's one silver coin per person.
[05:33] Luciel
    And if someone with the church,
    like the pope, the Valkyries,
[05:38] Luciel
    or I get into trouble, I ask that
    you do what you can to help.
[05:41] Luciel
    Lastly, nicknames involving "zombie"
    and "masochist" are now off-limits!
[05:44] Luciel
    I need you to call me something
    I can actually go by!
[05:47] Luciel
    Are we clear?
[05:49] Adventurers
    Yeah!
[05:51] Luciel
    In that case, I'll begin the treatment.
[05:55] Luciel
    O holy touch of healing.
[05:57] Luciel
    O breath of the mother of this great land.
[05:59] Luciel
    O Lord, I offer up my magic...
[06:02] Luciel
    Bring relief as from the breath of an angel.
[06:05] Luciel
    Area high heal!
[06:11] Adventurer F
    It's gone! The pain's gone!
[06:13] Adventurer C
    All right! I'm healed!
[06:15] Adventurer E
    Thank you, Masochist-sama!
[06:16] Adventurer C
    Idiot! "Masochist" is off-limits!
[06:21] Adventurer C
    So let's give him another nickname.
[06:22] Adventurer C
    He treated us for cheap,
    so how about "The Cheap Healer"?

    definitely veto that.

[06:28] Adventurer E

SIGN    The Battle-Crazed Healer
[06:31] Adventurer E
    so how about "The Battle-Crazed Healer"?
SIGN    BA-DUMP
SIGN    BA-DUMP
SIGN    BA-DUMP
[06:32] Adventurer C
    Neither one has the right ring to it.
[06:34] Adventurer D
    "Maso-zombie" just fits too perfectly.
[06:37] Luciel
    They're having a whole meeting
    about my nickname...
[06:40] Adventurer
    He's real distinguished,
    so maybe "The Saint"?
SIGN    The Saint
[06:42] Adventurer C
    He's young, though. That's so stuffy.
[06:44] Luciel
    It's definitely stuffy.
[06:46] Adventurer
    How about "Weirdo Healer"?
SIGN    Weirdo Healer
[06:47] Luciel
    That's no better than "masochist"!
[06:49] Adventurer C
    I've got it! He's weird,
    but he's also like a saint.
SIGN    Weird Saint
[06:55] Adventurer C
    So "St. Weirdo"!
SIGN    St. Weirdo
[06:56] Luciel
    Excuse me?!
[06:58] Adventurers
    That's the one!
[06:59] Adventurers
    St. Weirdo! St. Weirdo! Let's hear it for...
SIGN    St. Weirdo! St. Weirdo!
[07:02] Adventurers
    St. Weirdo! St. Weirdo!
[07:05] Luciel
    Hey! What kind of cheer is that?!
[07:08] Luciel
    Adventurers are so bad at giving nicknames!
[07:11] Cat person B
    "Maso-zombie" still has
    the best ring to it, though.
[07:14] Adventurer
    Tell me about it.
[07:15] Luciel
    Gong!
SIGN    Gong...
[07:21] Luciel
    Good morning.
[07:23] Cattleya
    Oh, good morning.
[07:25] Cattleya
    You're later than usual.
[07:27] Luciel
    Yeah, I went to see the Valkyries off
     since they've been helping me out.
[07:34] (Flashback) Lumina
    What's all this fanfare?
[07:36] (Flashback) Lucy
    Crowds don't usually
    come out for us like this.
[07:39] (Flashback) Crowd
    Go for it! Just like Masochist-sama!
[07:42] (Flashback) Crowd
    Like St. Weirdo!
[07:43] (Flashback) Crowd
    Like Zombie-sama!
[07:44] (Flashback) Crowd
    Just like St. Weirdo!
[07:53] Cattleya
    So you're heading to the labyrinth now?
[07:56] Cattleya
    Will you be returning around the usual time?
[07:58] Luciel
    Actually, I'm thinking about
    staying there for a while.
[08:02] Cattleya
    I can't allow you do to
    something that dangerous!
[08:04] Luciel
    But I really only come back to sleep.
    I have plenty of food in my magic sack.
[08:10] Cattleya
    That isn't the issue!
[08:12] Luciel
    It'll be fine. If I defeat
    the monsters in the main chamber,
[08:15] Luciel
    there aren't any more until I open the door.
[08:20] Cattleya
    In that case, just be sure
    to return here once a week.
[08:24] Cattleya
    And don't overdo it.
    I don't want to see you dead.
[08:29] Luciel
    You got it!
[08:30] Luciel
    My mottos are "make it out alive"
[08:33] Luciel
    and "don't die!"
[08:38] Cattleya
    Then take care. See you soon.
[08:40] Luciel
    Yeah. I'm off now!
[08:44] Cattleya
    Don't you die on me, Luciel-kun.
[08:49] Luciel
    Heya, I'm back!
[08:51] Cattleya
    Already?! It hasn't even been a week yet!
[08:54] Luciel
    Huh?
[08:55] Cattleya
    Well, I'm glad to see you're safe.
[08:58] Luciel
    My internal clock must be off.
[09:00] Cattleya
    Oh, that's right. I have
    your new weapons and armor,
[09:04] Cattleya
    as well as some magical items from the pope.
[09:06] Luciel
    For real?
SIGN    Paladin's Armor
[09:15] Luciel
    Ooh, this is so cool!
[09:18] Cattleya
    There's also this.
SIGN    Angel's Pillow
[09:21] Luciel
    A pillow?
[09:22] Cattleya
    It's an angel's pillow.
[09:24] Cattleya
    It helps you sleep soundly so
    you're fully refreshed the next day.
[09:27] Luciel
    Wow!
[09:29] Cattleya
    So, what will you do for the rest of the day?
[09:31] Luciel
    I'm going to go buy some food
    and then head back in.
[09:34] Cattleya
    I know I keep saying this,
    but don't overdo it.
[09:37] Cattleya
    And be sure to come back within one week.
[09:40] Luciel
    Understood!
[09:44] Master
    I thought you'd be back.
[09:47] Master
    Isn't today St. Weirdo's free day?
[09:50] Luciel
    St. Weirdo's free day?
[09:52] Master
    Yeah. I reckoned you'd be out of Substance X,
[09:55] Master
    and you mentioned you get one day off a week.
[09:57] Luciel
    I'm surprised you remembered.
[09:59] Master
    If I couldn't remember that much, I wouldn't
    be worth my weight as guild master.
[10:03] Luciel
    So why are you always in the kitchen?
[10:07] Master
    I enjoy it!
[10:08] Luciel
    I see...
[10:10] Luciel
    Oh, right. May I ask you
    to send another letter?
[10:13] Master
    Yeah, sure, sure.
[10:15] Luciel
    I haven't gotten any responses yet, though.
[10:17] Adventurer
    Oh, it's St. Weirdo.
[10:20] Adventurer C
    Today after healing, you're
    joining a mock battle, right?
[10:23] Adventurer D
    Nice! I can show St. Weirdo how
    much the training has helped me.
[10:27] Adventurer E
    Whatever we call him, there's no
    way I'm gonna lose to a healer.
[10:30] Adventurer C; D; E
    Yeah!
[10:31] Luciel
    I guess that St. Weirdo thing
    is gonna stick...
[10:34] Master
    They're all worked up
    since they get to fight you.
[10:38] Luciel
    Is that right?
[10:39] Master
    Since they've been training
    and practicing more,
[10:42] Master
    the number of deaths and failed
    missions has dropped sharply.
[10:45] Luciel
    I'm very glad to hear that.
[10:47] Master
    To prepare for this day, they've
    all been taking high-ranking jobs
[10:50] Master
    and fighting strong monsters.
    It's been nothing but good news.
[10:53] Elitz
    Look, it's St. Weirdo.
[10:56] Luciel
    Oh, Elitz-dono.
[10:58] Master
    You getting buddy-buddy with A-ranks?
[11:00] Elitz
    Yeah, ever since this
    guy treated my injuries.
[11:03] Luciel
    Well, you've also taught me
    a lot since then.
[11:07] Elitz
    How about that physical
    enhancement skill I showed you?
[11:10] Luciel
    That's still difficult for me.
[11:12] Luciel
    I have to focus my magic
    and quickly circulate it through my body...
[11:17] Luciel
    Physical enhancement!
[11:21] Luciel
    But it isn't as easy as it sounds.
[11:25] Elitz
    Yeah, even though your
    magic control skill is so high.
[11:28] Elitz
    Also, are you still stuck at level 1?
[11:32] Elitz
    That doesn't seem right.
[11:34] Luciel
    It's because I haven't defeated any monsters.
[11:36] Luciel
    I mean, I have, but they were all illusions.
[11:40] Elitz
    Man, what a waste!
[11:42] Elitz
    If you can fight that well,
    you'd be a real diamond in the rough!
[11:47] Milty
    St. Weirdo!
[11:48] Milty
    Everyone's ready for their treatment.
[11:50] Luciel
    Okay! I'm on my way.
[11:56] Luciel
    Purification!
[11:57] Luciel
    Recover!
[11:59] Luciel
    Dispel!
[12:00] Luciel
    Area high heal!
[12:05] Luciel
    Okay, all done!
[12:07] Luciel
    Everyone feels better now, right?
[12:09] Adventurers
    Yes! Thank you very much!
[12:12] Luciel
    Okay, if any of you have news of Merratoni
[12:14] Luciel
    or word about the Valkyrie paladin
    regiment, raise your hand.
[12:18] Cat person B
    I do!
[12:19] Cat person B
    I've heard that the Valkyries are all safe.
[12:22] Luciel
    Phew. That's good.
[12:24] Adventurer G
    But I heard that there were
    deaths among the templars.
[12:28] Adventurer D
    Over here! I know something about Merratoni.
[12:32] Luciel
    Go ahead.
[12:33] Adventurer D
    I've heard that the Whirlwind
    is out of control.
[12:35] Luciel
    The Whirlwind?!
[12:36] Adventurer D
    He keeps kidnapping adventurers and
    dragging them to his training hall.
[12:41] Luciel
    Master Brod!
[12:43] Adventurer E
    Hey, I heard that he used to
    be focused on one disciple,
[12:46] Adventurer E
    so things were okay then.
[12:48] Adventurer D
    But then that disciple left and now
    other adventurers are taking the heat.
[12:52] Luciel
    Sorry, guys...
[12:54] Adventurer C
    Then there's that bear chef!
[12:56] Luciel
    Bear chef?
[12:57] Adventurer C
    He isn't just making
    people drink Substance X.
[12:59] Adventurer C
    He's been inventing new recipes
    with it to make people eat!
[13:03] Luciel
    Gulgar-san, what are you thinking?
[13:06] Adventurer A
    Oh, and another thing. A receptionist at
    the Adventurers' Guild is getting married.
[13:12] Adventurer A
    Actually, multiple receptionists are.
[13:14] Luciel
    What was that? Tell me more.
[13:16] Adventurer A
    Well, it sounds like the guys
    who captured the receptionists' hearts
[13:19] Adventurer A
    are A-rank beastfolk
    adventurers or something.
[13:22] Luciel
    But who? Which receptionists?!
[13:25] Adventurers
    Um, I don't actually know.
[13:27] Luciel
    Who is it?!
[13:28] Luciel
    "Multiple" means at least two of them!
[13:30] Luciel
    So who and who else?!
[13:32] Luciel
    If they're marrying beastfolk,
    could one of them be Nanaella-san?
[13:36] Luciel
    Now that I think of it, is this why
    they haven't responded to my letters?
[13:41] Luciel
    Huh?!
[13:44] Luciel
    At least...
[13:46] Luciel
    At the very least,
    please invite me to the wedding.
[13:51] Luciel
    It's been half a year since
    I beat the level twenty boss.
[13:55] Luciel
    Area high heal!
[14:01] Luciel
    Phew. Looks like a total victory this time.
[14:05] Luciel
    Thanks to all my training, I finally
    vanquished the boss on the thirtieth level.
[14:13] Cattleya
    I'm so glad you're all right.
[14:15] Cattleya
    Thank you for coming back to me alive.
[14:17] Luciel
    Please... This is embarrassing.
[14:21] Cattleya
    You really did an amazing job this time.
[14:23] Cattleya
    You earned 426,549 points.
[14:27] Luciel
    So that robe I bought the other day
    after five trips to the labyrinth...
[14:30] Luciel
    I could afford another one of those?
[14:33] Cattleya
    You sure could.
[14:34] Cattleya
    And if you have points left over, you might
    think about stocking up on magic potions.
[14:38] Luciel
    Good idea.
[14:40] Cattleya
    Your magic sack can fit as many as you want,
     so it wouldn't hurt to have them.
[14:44] Luciel
    I depend on magic for most fights,
    so that could be a real lifesaver.
[14:48] Luciel
    Just this run, I would've been
    in trouble without area high heal.
[14:52] Cattleya
    What? You're so young
    and you can use area high heal?
[14:55] Cattleya
    Luciel-kun, have you
    been lying about your age?
[14:58] Luciel
    The first time I visited
    the Healers' Guild at age fifteen,
[15:01] Luciel
    I didn't even know how to use heal.
[15:04] Cattleya
    Then have you gotten your hands
    on some kind of strange drug?
[15:08] Luciel
    Huh? No, that's not even...
[15:10] Luciel
    Oh!
SIGN    Substance X
[15:11] Cattleya
    Well then, when you make your report to
    the pope, you can come clean and repent.
[15:17] Luciel
    Okay.
SIGN    D
    R
    A
    A
    A
    A
    A
    G
[15:18] Luciel
    Maybe I can at least learn something about
    all this Substance X I've been drinking...
[15:24] Pope
    You mean to say you've already
    reached the thirtieth level on your own?
[15:30] Pope
    I must say, I never expected this.
[15:33] Pope
    I applaud your efforts.
[15:35] Pope
    It seems your magic powers have also grown
[15:38] Pope
    much more powerful since we first met.
[15:41] Cattleya
    I have a report to make regarding that.
[15:44] Cattleya
    He's apparently been drinking a beverage
    called Substance X for two and a half years.
[15:49] Luciel
    This is it.
[15:51] Cattleya & Pope
    Gross!
[15:53] Cattleya
    Put that away immediately!
[15:54] Luciel
    A-All right!
[15:55] Cattleya
    Is it poison?
[15:56] Luciel
    N-No.
[15:58] Luciel
    Maybe I should cast purification anyway...
[16:01] Luciel
    It's not poison. It's something
    they serve at the Adventurers' Guild.
[16:06] Luciel
    They say it's produced when you cast magic
     on a special item crafted by a sage.
[16:11] Pope
    At the Adventurers' Guild?
[16:13] Pope
    Wait. What is the name of this drink?
[16:16] Luciel
    I know it as Substance X.
[16:19] Luciel
    It's something they force
    new adventurer's to consume.
[16:22] Pope
    Hmm. I believe it was originally created
    to awaken people's latent talents.
[16:28] Pope
    It's made from medicinal herbs,
    dragon's heart, and spirit water,
[16:33] Pope
    and crafted into a pill.
[16:35] Luciel
    A pill? That'd be much easier to take.
[16:38] Pope
    A sage claimed to have developed
[16:40] Pope
    a magical device to replicate
     the recipe at any time.
[16:45] Pope
    But what came out instead was a liquid,
    so he renamed it.
[16:50] Luciel
    Why?
[16:51] Pope
    I believe it was called Substance X
    when it was in pill form,
[16:57] Pope
    but the liquid version of it
    was so unpalatable
[17:00] Pope
    that its creator changed its name to...
SIGN    God's Lament
[17:04] Pope
    God's Lament.
[17:06] Luciel
    It certainly tastes horrible.
[17:08] Luciel
    I would believe even God
    would lament its flavor.
[17:11] Luciel
    I drink three mugs a day after my meals,
[17:13] Luciel
    and I've been doing so for two and half years.
[17:17] Cattleya
    Huh?
[17:18] Pope
    Is that the truth?
[17:20] Luciel
    Yes. Life in this world is so fragile,
[17:23] Luciel
    so I felt I should do
    whatever I could to survive.
[17:26] Pope
    Hmm.
[17:27] Luciel
    There are no side effects and just drinking
    it makes you strong, so how could I not?
[17:32] Pope
    I see now.
[17:34] Pope
    Your efforts and that hardship
    are what have allowed you to grow so.
[17:39] Cattleya
    I can't believe you can drink that sludge.
[17:41] Cattleya
    Pretty impressive, Luciel-kun.
[17:43] Luciel
    Cattleya-san?
[17:45] Pope
    So, Luciel, will you tell me what kinds
    of monsters you encountered this time?
[17:50] Luciel
    Yes. There were three wights
    and five ghost knights.
[17:54] Luciel
    I evaded them, eventually
    defeating them with area high heal.
[17:57] Pope
    You're able to use that at your age?
[18:00] Pope
    You may yet become a sage yourself one day.
[18:04] Luciel
    I will do my best.
[18:05] Pope
    Now then, bring me the items
    the monsters dropped.
[18:13] Pope
    Oh, these are from... those three girls.
[18:16] Luciel
    What three girls?
[18:18] Pope
    That is all for today.
[18:20] Pope
    I will deliver your reward
    to Cattleya in good time.
[18:23] Pope
    Do continue to explore the labyrinth.
[18:35] Luciel
    Good morning!
[18:37] Cattleya
    Luciel-kun? Morning.
[18:41] Cattleya
    The pope sent this letter.
[18:44] Luciel
    What is it?
[18:45] Cattleya
    It details the effects of God's Lament,
    also known as Substance X.
[18:50] Luciel
    Wow. I'll read it later in the labyrinth.
[18:54] Luciel
    I'm off.
[18:56] Cattleya
    Um, Luciel-kun?
[18:58] Luciel
    Yes?
[18:59] Cattleya
    Good luck.
[19:01] Cattleya
    If you're ever having a hard time,
    I'll be here for you.
[19:04] Luciel
    Sure. Thanks a lot.
[19:10] Luciel
    Now then, what's it say?
[19:12] Luciel
    "This is a direct reproduction of the notes
    on God's Lament, also known as Substance X.
[19:20] Luciel
    Humans have three major primal urges.
[19:22] Luciel
    They desire sleep, they desire food,
     and they desire sex.
[19:26] Luciel
    But those desires tend to wane
    in those who devote themselves to the Church.
[19:31] Luciel
    I thought this medicine could be as a beacon to such devotees
[19:34] Luciel
    to prevent them from losing
     the joys of living.
[19:38] Luciel
    It has the effect of amplifying
    the three primal urges.
[19:42] Luciel
    It also produced some unexpected side effects.
[19:45] Luciel
    It seems to protect the body from various
    maladies, revitalize cells while sleeping,
[19:50] Luciel
    and facilitate skill growth as well."
[19:54] Luciel
    Wow, Substance X is this amazing?
[19:58] Luciel
    "However, a tragedy occurred.
[20:02] Luciel
    There was a wave of criticism
    due to its unbearably bad smell.
[20:05] Luciel
    It was deemed unfit for the Church
    and slated for disposal.
SIGN    Out!
SIGN    Gong!
[20:09] Luciel
    Yet this medicine was the reason
    I was allowed to become a sage.
[20:14] Luciel
    So I asked the Adventurers' Guild
    headquarters if I could leave it with them.
[20:18] Luciel
    If any beginners are curious about the effects,
    I'd like it to be available for them to drink.
[20:22] Luciel
    I pray that this God's Lament may one day
    become the item that saves the world."
[20:30] Luciel
    Huh. What's on this other page?
[20:34] Luciel
    The results of a study
    on Substance X's effects, huh?
SIGN    Desire to Sleep
SIGN    Desire for Sex
SIGN    Desire to Eat
[20:39] Luciel
    The actual effect of Substance X
    is increasing one of the three primal urges
SIGN    Desire to Sleep
SIGN    Desire for Sex
[20:45] Luciel
    and transforming that energy to enhance
     one's overall physical ability.
[20:52] Luciel
    That's a pretty big secret.
    So it sacrifices a primal urge, eh?
[20:57] Luciel
    Come to think of it...
SIGN    Desire to eat
[20:59] Luciel
    I've got an appetite.
SIGN    Desire to sleep
[21:02] Luciel
    I love to sleep.
SIGN    Desire for sex
[21:06] Luciel
    And sexual desire... Wait, sexual desire?
SIGN    Sexual
[21:11] Luciel
    Sexual desire...
SIGN    Sexual Desire
[21:14] Luciel
    Now that I think about it, I've got none.
[21:22] Luciel
    Absolutely none! Not any at all!
[21:25] Luciel
    Wait, was that because she felt sorry for me?!
[21:28] Luciel
    Does she basically think
    I'm impotent or something?!
[21:32] Luciel
    Like I'm already in celibate sage mode?!
SIGN    I'm in sage mode?!
[21:34] Luciel
    I mean, this world is full of babes.
[21:37] Luciel
    But I've never once felt
    turned on around them!
[21:41] Luciel
    S-Still, even if I haven't been turned on,
[21:43] Luciel
    they've definitely caught my eye before.
[21:46] Luciel
    Absolutely. Definitely. So I'm okay.
[21:49] Luciel
    I'm... totally okay.
[21:52] Luciel
    Okay.
[21:54] Luciel
    Once I make it through the labyrinth,
    I'm going to fall in love!
[21:57] Luciel
    Oh yeah!
[22:00] Luciel
    Except I still haven't gotten responses
    to any of my letters...
[22:09] Luciel
    Training! Training!
[22:12] Luciel
    It's training time!
[22:14] Luciel
    All for my future!
[23:55] Pope
    Oh, dear Luciel.
[23:58] Pope
    You drank all that Substance X
    and now have zero sex drive?
[24:02] Pope
    Next time: "Trouble in St. Shurule."
SIGN    #11 Trouble in St. Shurule
[24:05] Pope
    At this rate, you might
    change jobs and become a sage.
