[00:01] Brod
    I've decided to give you
    a day off to rest, kid.
[00:05] Luciel
    A rest day?
[00:06] Luciel
    Come to think of it,
    I haven't had a single day off.
[00:09] Luciel
    But still...
[00:11] Luciel
    It's not like I have anything else to do!

    If you're free, why don't you
    help butcher up some monsters?
[00:20] Luciel
    Butcher monsters?
SIGN    Rest Day
[00:25] Luciel
    I do want to get a closer look at monsters.
    It's all about getting experience.
[00:30] Luciel
    He said the door next to the cafeteria, right?
[00:35] Luciel
    Pardon me!
[00:38] Galba
    Welcome to the butchery.
SIGN    The Great Cleric
SIGN    A Salaryman's Path to Surviving Another World
[02:12] Galba
    Thanks for coming to help today.
SIGN    Galba
[02:15] Galba
    The name's Galba. Nice to meet you.
[02:17] Luciel
    He kinda looks familiar...
[02:20] Galba
    You can take it easy and chat with me
    just like you would my younger brother.
[02:24] Luciel
    Your brother?
[02:29] Luciel
    Huh?
[02:29] Luciel
    Do you mean Gulgar-san?
[02:32] Galba
    That's right. He's my kid brother.
[02:36] Galba
    Let's get right to the butchering.
[02:38] Galba
    You can just watch for now, okay?
SIGN    #4 Substance X and a Small Change
[02:39] Luciel
    Sure.
[02:42] Galba
    Heave-ho.
[02:43] Luciel
    That's huge!
[02:43] Luciel
    I mean, how did you fit a boar in that bag?
[02:46] Galba
    Well, it is a magical bag.
[02:49] Luciel
    Oh! Just what I'd expect from a fantasy!
[02:53] Galba
    All right, watch closely now.
[02:54] Luciel
    O-Okay.
[02:56] Galba
    First, skin the beast.
[03:00] Galba
    Then split open its belly
    and take out its insides.
[03:04] Galba
    There. All done.
[03:06] Luciel
    Hey, that's a lot easier on the eyes.
[03:09] Luciel
    I didn't realize it could be done so quickly.
[03:12] Galba
    Well, I have done it hundreds of times.
[03:15] Luciel
    There's something scary about that smile...
[03:17] Luciel
    Do they use all the meat
    you butcher in the cafeteria?
[03:21] Galba
    Nope.
[03:22] Galba
    We sell some meat to other guilds
    and shops in town
[03:25] Galba
    to cover the guild's operational costs.
[03:27] Luciel
    In that case, is my being here an issue?
[03:31] Galba
    Don't you worry.
[03:32] Galba
    I'd like you to gain butchering experience,
[03:35] Galba
    but that isn't the reason Brod sent you here.
[03:38] Luciel
    Huh?
[03:40] Galba
    We get all sorts of monsters
     here at the butchery.
[03:44] Galba
    There are many different types, you know.
[03:47] Galba
    I think Brod wanted you to develop
    an eye for their weak points
[03:52] Galba
    and learn the best ways to attack them.
[03:54] Luciel
    Instructor Brod was thinking of me?
[03:58] Luciel
    Wait, you're saying he expects
    me to fight monsters?!
[04:03] Galba
    I'm sure he thought it'd help you survive
[04:05] Galba
    when you start going out
    on adventures as a healer.
[04:10] Galba
    These days, we don't get many newcomers
[04:12] Galba
    who are as serious about preparing as you.
[04:15] Luciel
    In my case, I really just
    don't want to die, you know?
[04:19] Galba
    Well, that goes for all adventurers.
[04:22] Galba
    But lately, too many are gunning
    to become heroes.
[04:26] Galba
    They rush out into battle
    and are cut down just like that.
[04:32] Galba
    But you know what?
[04:33] Galba
    Thanks to you, Luciel-kun, the fatality rate
    among new adventurers is down.
[04:38] Galba
    For those seriously injured,
    the lesson that they aren't special
[04:42] Galba
    comes all too late if the wound's too severe.
[04:45] Galba
    But you've been saving them, Luciel.
[04:49] Luciel
    I-I'm very flattered to hear that.
[04:53] Galba
    Now then... You see this?
    It's called a horned rabbit.
[04:57] Luciel
    O-Okay.
[04:58] Galba
    Why don't you try butchering it?
[05:05] Galba
    Let's start off together, okay?
[05:07] Luciel
    Okay.
[05:08] Galba
    First, split open the belly.
[05:11] Luciel
    I realize it's dead, but I'm still hesitant.
[05:14] Galba
    Luciel-kun.
[05:16] Galba
    Just take your time with it.
[05:18] Luciel
    Galba-san...
[05:22] Luciel
    Okay.
[05:27] Galba
    Next, remove the insides.
[05:29] Luciel
    A-All right.
[05:32] Luciel
    The scent of blood filling my nose,
[05:35] Luciel
    the still-warm flesh,
[05:37] Luciel
    the feeling of carving fresh, raw meat...
[05:42] Luciel
    Regardless, this is something
    we need to do to live.
[05:48] Gulgar
    Heya. How was the butchering?
[05:51] Luciel
    I think I'm much more grateful
    for the food I eat now.
[05:55] Gulgar
    That so, huh?
[05:57] Gulgar
    One thing, Luciel...
[05:59] Luciel
    Yes?
[06:00] Gulgar
    You should hurry and change out of those.
[06:02] Luciel
    Huh? Oh...
[06:04] Luciel
    Oh!
[06:07] Luciel
    I feel so ashamed.
[06:09] Luciel
    Didn't I eat meat all the time
    in my last life?
[06:12] Luciel
    Yet this is how I react when
    I have to do the butchering myself...
[06:16] Nanaella
    Luciel-sama.
[06:18] Luciel
    Nanaella-san?
[06:19] Nanaella
    Are you... all right?
[06:22] Luciel
    Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
[06:26] Nanaella
    Are you really?
[06:28] Nanaella
    You look a little pale.
[06:31] Luciel
    Horned rabbits flashing before my eyes...
[06:34] Nanaella
    I heard that you were butchering today.
[06:38] Nanaella
    Was it actually your first time?
[06:40] Luciel
    Yeah. I've never seen or done it before.
[06:45] Nanaella
    Is that so?
[06:47] Nanaella
    It must have been very difficult for you.
[06:50] Nanaella
    Your hands feel a little cold.
[06:53] Luciel
    I was washing them in cold water...
[06:56] Nanaella
    Luciel-sama, you may be more
    exhausted than you realize.
[07:02] Luciel
    Exhausted?
[07:04] Nanaella
    Sometimes new adventurers are the same way.
[07:07] Nanaella
    They get so excited for their first battle.
[07:09] Nanaella
    But even if they can slay
    monsters without hesitation,
[07:12] Nanaella
    once they're alone,
    the mental exhaustion sets in on them.
[07:18] Luciel
    Is that why you came to see me?
[07:19] Nanaella
    Yes.
[07:21] Nanaella
    Because all of the guild employees,
    myself included,
[07:24] Nanaella
    are grateful for what you've
    done for us, Luciel-sama.
[07:27] Nanaella
    I want to do what I can to help you.
[07:29] Luciel
    Th-Thank you so much.
[07:33] Luciel
    Then would you mind holding
    my hand just a little longer?
[07:38] Nanaella
    Sure.
[07:41] Luciel
    My dinner that night was stew made
    from the horned rabbit I'd butchered.
[07:47] Luciel
    Thanks for the meal.
[07:53] Luciel
    This is super tasty!
[07:55] Gulgar
    Here.
[07:58] Luciel
    That again?!
[08:02] Luciel
    It's nice that I got another rest day,
    but I don't have anything to do.
[08:07] Luciel
    My magic training has been going
    at a much slower rate lately.
[08:12] Luciel
    When I gain one level,
    it's that much harder to reach the next.
[08:16] Luciel
    Just like any RPG, I guess.
[08:18] Luciel
    Still, I wonder if Brod
    is busy or something...
[08:24] Nanaella
    Here we go, Luciel-sama!
[08:26] Luciel
    Nanaella-san? And Melina-san too?
[08:29] Mernell
    Luciel-kun.
[08:31] Mernell
    You're lacking in knowledge,
[08:33] Mernell
    so Brod-san asked us
    to give you a little lesson.
[08:37] Luciel
    Even you, Mernell-san?
[08:38] Nanaella
    So since it's decided...
[08:39] Melina
    Let's get going!
[08:41] Luciel
    Huh? Huh?!
[08:42] Luciel
    Forget teaching me a lesson! The other
    adventurers will kill me if they see this!
[08:51] Luciel
    What am I supposed to make of this situation?
[08:54] Nanaella
    I got The Illustrated Monster Encyclopedia,
[08:56] Nanaella
    The Monster Suppression Point Index,
[08:59] Nanaella
    and The Monster Materials
     Armor Crafting Catalog for you.
[09:03] Mernell
    I brought books about each country's
    laws, religions, and mythologies.
[09:08] Melina
    I have Complete Vegetables,
    Complete Mushrooms and Fruits,
SIGN    Melina
[09:12] Melina
    and The Beginner's Guide to Medicine.
[09:14] Luciel
    Do I really need all of these?
[09:17] Nanaella
    Absolutely!
[09:18] Luciel
    Hmm. In that case, I'd like to
    start with Mernell-san's books.
[09:24] Mernell
    Oh my.
[09:25] Melina
    In that case, we'll let you
    take over, Nanaella.
[09:28] Luciel
    Huh?
[09:29] Mernell
    We never thought you'd pick
    the information that's truly useful.
[09:32] Luciel
    What was that all about?
[09:34] Nanaella
    Brod-san told us to make sure you gain
    more practical, worldly knowledge.
[09:39] Nanaella
    So those two got curious
[09:42] Nanaella
    and wanted to find out what kinds
    of things interest you.
[09:46] Luciel
    Oh, so that was it.
[09:49] Luciel
    I'm sure they're teasing me!
[09:52] Luciel
    Is it really okay for you
    to spend all this time on me?
[09:55] Nanaella
    Sure. This is also
    an important part of my job.
[10:00] Nanaella
    Now then, we'll start with a brief overview.
[10:03] Nanaella
    We're in Merratoni, located here
     in the Republic of St. Shurule.
SIGN    Grandol, Land of Labyrinths
SIGN    Republic of St. Shurule
SIGN    Independent City-State of Yenice
SIGN    Galdardia
[10:08] Nanaella
    St. Shurule manages the Healers' Guild.
[10:11] Nanaella
    At its heart is the Holy City of Shurule,
    home to the castle housing guild headquarters.
[10:15] Nanaella
    Shurule is also the only place
    in the world to have abolished slavery.
[10:19] Luciel
    The only place in the world?!
[10:21] Luciel
    Does that mean the other
    countries have slaves?!
[10:24] Luciel
    I'm so glad I wound up in this one!
[10:27] Nanaella
    This is the Independent City-State of Yenice.
[10:30] Nanaella
    It's a nation of beastfolk
    that many different races call home.
[10:33] Luciel
    And so, I started studying on my rest days...
[10:37] Luciel
    Training, treating wounds, study sessions,
    and random errands kept me pretty busy.
[10:44] Luciel
    Before I knew it, half a year had passed.
[10:48] Luciel
    It's out!
[10:50] Luciel
    This month's guild earnings ranking!
[10:52] Mernell
    Oh? Let's see that.
[10:54] Melina
    Yes, let's.
[10:56] Mernell
    The Lineage of the White Wolf
    is number one again?
[10:58] Melina
    Those guys sure work hard.
[11:00] Mernell
    They're almost A rank. Did you hear?
[11:02] Melina
    Didn't we have plans to go eat with them?
[11:04] Luciel
    Um...
[11:07] Luciel
    A little space?
[11:10] Luciel
    Would you mind not getting so close?
[11:12] Melina
    Oh, come on! We're just
    bonding with you! Bonding!
[11:16] Mernell
    Right, Melina? But what a nice body!
[11:18] Nanaella
    Please give him a break!
[11:20] Melina
    Hey, wait...
[11:22] Melina
    Luciel-kun, it looks like
    your clothes don't fit right.
[11:25] Luciel
    Huh?
[11:32] Nanaella
    This way, Luciel-sama!
[11:35] Luciel
    I'm glad Nanaella-san is wearing her uniform.
[11:37] Luciel
    If she was in street clothes,
    this would totally be a date.
[11:41] Luciel
    I should say thanks. You didn't
    have to come clothes shopping with me.
[11:45] Luciel
    If you tell me where to go,
    I can handle it myself.
[11:48] Nanaella
    That won't do. Things have gotten
    a little dangerous recently.
[11:52] Luciel
    Huh? Dangerous?
[11:53] Nanaella
    Besides, when I first came to Merratoni,
    a lot of people showed me around, too.
[11:59] Luciel
    Wait, does that mean you were also
    once an adventurer, Nanaella-san?
[12:03] Nanaella
    Oh, who knows?
[12:17] Luciel
    Thank you so much.
[12:19] Nanaella
    No problem!
[12:20] Luciel
    I should be okay on clothes for a while now.
[12:23] Luciel
    You even paid for everything...
[12:26] Nanaella
    It's all right. Brod-san
    gave me money to spend.
[12:30] Luciel
    I guess this was my first
    shopping trip in another world.
[12:34] Luciel
    I wonder if I wasted it...
[12:38] Luciel
    Nanaella-san, please hold these!
[12:41] Luciel
    That voice just now...
[12:49] Luciel
    Monika-san!
[12:56] Luciel
    Monika-san.
[12:57] Monika
    Luciel-sama...
[13:00] Luciel
    I'm so glad you woke up.
[13:02] Monika
    Um, what happened?
[13:04] Luciel
    Monika-san, you were
    on the ground covered in blood.
[13:07] Luciel
    I cast heal, but it didn't help.
[13:09] Luciel
    I thought you might be poisoned,
    so I cast cure and you finally recovered.
[13:14] Luciel
    Monika-san, did somebody try to kill you?
[13:17] Monika
    What?
[13:18] Nanaella
    This may have been the work of mercenaries.
[13:21] Luciel
    Mercenaries?
[13:23] Nanaella
    People who will even
    commit murder for a fee.
[13:26] Luciel
    Who would have the money to pay for that?
[13:29] Monika
    Healers.
[13:31] Luciel
    Do you have an idea who did it?
[13:33] Monika
    The other day, a friend of mine
    got treated at a healing clinic.
[13:38] Monika
    But they didn't have money to pay the bill,
     so they were sold into slavery.
[13:44] Luciel
    I thought slavery was illegal here.
[13:48] Monika
    It is, but in other countries...
[13:50] Luciel
    What kind of loophole is that?
[13:52] Luciel
    Moreover, what kind of treatment
    is so expensive you can't pay for it?
[13:56] Monika
    I objected to it publicly,
    so this may have been retaliation.
[14:01] Luciel
    So you could be attacked again?!
[14:04] Monika
    I can't say for certain that I won't be.
[14:08] Luciel
    What kind of healer would
    do something like this?
[14:13] Monika
    It believe it was Bottaculli-san.
[14:16] Luciel
    Bottaculli?
[14:18] Nanaella
    He operates the largest
    healers' clinic in Merratoni.
[14:21] Luciel
    So he's some big shot, is he?
[14:23] Luciel
    Wait, does that mean Monika-san won't
    be safe even at the Healers' Guild?
[14:29] Luciel
    Nanaella-san, until this all blows over,
[14:32] Luciel
    might Monika-san stay
    at the Adventurers' Guild?
[14:35] Nanaella
    Yes, I believe that would be all right.
[14:38] Monika
    But... healers and adventurers
    don't get along!
[14:42] Luciel
    I wish I'd known that half a year ago!
[14:46] Luciel
    It'll be okay.
[14:47] Luciel
    I've been training here every day and
     haven't been confronted even once.
[14:53] Monika
    In that case, I very much appreciate the help.
[15:01] Luciel
    I'm lucky I could save her in time.
[15:04] Luciel
    I guess lives aren't worth
    much in this world...
[15:08] Luciel
    But I still have the power to save them.
[15:11] Luciel
    I have to keep working hard to that end.
[15:14] Monika
    Luciel-sama.
[15:18] Monika
    I would like to thank you
    for saving me from the brink of death
[15:23] Monika
    from the bottom of my heart.
[15:25] Luciel
    Is it me, or does she look pale?
[15:27] Luciel
    I-It's okay. I'm glad I could save
    someone who's helped me so much.
[15:32] Monika
    Well, as compensation for saving me,
[15:37] Monika
    how much do I owe you?
[15:41] Luciel
    Is that why she's so pale?
[15:43] Luciel
    Does she think I'm going to demand
    some unreasonable fee for treating her?
[15:48] Luciel
    Those damn healers...
[15:52] Luciel
    You've been incredibly kind to me, Monika-san.
[15:56] Luciel
    So let's just say that you've
    already returned the favor.
[15:59] Luciel
    I'll consider that the payment.
[16:01] Monika
    Huh?
[16:03] Luciel
    And if that doesn't sound like enough,
    I'll also treat you to a meal here.
[16:08] Luciel
    Gulgar-san's cooking is really good!
[16:12] Gulgar
    All that must've been scary for you, miss.
[16:15] Gulgar
    Eat this and try to regain your strength.
[16:20] Monika
    Thank you so much.
[16:24] Monika
    Thank you so, so much!
[16:26] Monika
    From the bottom of my heart,
    thank you so very much!
[16:30] Luciel
    One month after that, the man
    who attacked Monika-san was apprehended.
[16:35] Luciel
    Of course, no connection between
    him and that healer was uncovered.
[16:39] Luciel
    We couldn't really say
    the case was resolved, so...
[16:43] Monika
    I would like to stay and continue working here
[16:45] Monika
    because you adventurers are
     all such wonderful people.
[16:49] adventurer
    All right!
[16:50] Luciel
    Things are so peaceful.
SIGN    Two Months Later
[16:57] Brod
    Where's Luciel?!
[16:59] Luciel
    Instructor Brod?!
[17:00] Brod
    Some adventurers are on death's door!
[17:02] Brod
    You've gotta help them!
[17:05] Brod
    Monsters outflanked them
    at a mine in the southeast.
[17:08] Brod
    The adventurers tried to quell them
[17:10] Brod
    and managed to finish off some
    of the strange creatures, but...
[17:15] Brod
    This is the inn.
[17:17] girl
    You're all right. It's going to be fine.
[17:20] boy
    Damn it! Don't die! Don't die on me!
[17:27] Brod
    Luciel!
[17:28] Brod
    They're in here.
[17:31] Brod
    Bazan and Sekiroth have been poisoned.
[17:34] Brod
    Basura is bleeding heavily from a deep wound.
[17:36] Luciel
    Even if I close a wound with magic,
    I can't replace lost blood.
[17:40] Luciel
    I've got to stop the bleeding!
[17:42] Luciel
    I'll treat Basura-san first!
[17:45] Luciel
    Heal!
[17:50] Luciel
    Heal! Heal! Heal!
[17:53] Luciel
    I have to save them!
[17:55] Luciel
    I have to save them! I have to save them!
[17:57] Luciel
    Heal!
[18:04] Luciel
    Next, I'll treat these two—
[18:08] Brod
    Are you okay?
[18:09] Luciel
    It feels like I've spent all my magic.
[18:13] Brod
    This is a magical potion to help you recover.
[18:15] Luciel
    Thanks.
[18:19] Brod
    Can you keep going?
[18:21] Luciel
    Yes!
[18:23] Luciel
    Cure! Heal!
[18:26] Luciel
    Cure! Heal!

    Cure! Heal!

    I can't let them die!

    Heal! Heal!
[18:42] Brod
    It looks like we're out of the woods.
[18:45] Brod
    You did well, Luciel.
[19:02] Luciel
    I was able to save the three
    Lineage of the White Wolf members,
[19:07] Luciel
    but there were other casualties.
[19:11] Luciel
    I'm not omnipotent. I already knew that.
[19:16] Luciel
    But the realization that I couldn't
    save everyone was very painful.
[19:20] Luciel
    To abate that grief at the very least,
    I made a vow to the fallen
[19:26] Luciel
    that I would work even harder.
[19:37] Luciel

    It's been a year since I was reincarnated.
[19:54] Luciel
    These are the results
    of the time I've spent here.
SIGN    Name: Luciel
    Job: Healer III
    Age: 16
    Level: 1
[19:58] Luciel
    There are no performance indicators,
    so I can't tell if this is good or not.
[20:02] Luciel
    One year, huh?
[20:06] Luciel
    Okay.
[20:11] Brod
    Already? You did say you'd stay a year...
[20:14] Luciel
    I did, but I don't feel like
     I've progressed much yet.
[20:19] Brod
    Relax. You're definitely improving.
[20:21] Luciel
    I still can't read your attacks,
    and I still can't hit you with mine.
[20:26] Luciel
    Plus, my only spells are heal and cure.
[20:29] Brod
    You and I have very different
    experience levels and statuses.
[20:33] Brod
    If you had managed to hit me,
    I'd be in bed for days from the shock.
[20:36] Luciel
    We're that far apart?
[20:41] Luciel
    It's only been a year,
    but I trained to the best of my ability.
[20:46] Luciel
    Instructor Brod.
[20:48] Luciel
    Thank you very much for the past year!
[20:52] Luciel
    Now if I run into any monsters,
    I'm confident that I can run away!
[20:56] Brod
    Hey, don't you mean "take them down"?
[20:58] Brod
    Why don't you just get a job
    at the Adventurers' Guild?
[21:02] Brod
    See? Even Monika's working
    here as a receptionist.
[21:05] Luciel
    Well, I kind of want to earn money
    and learn new magic, so...
[21:10] Brod
    Yeah, I guess you would.
[21:12] Luciel
    Also, I think that if I can learn new magic,
[21:16] Luciel
    I may be able to save a few more lives.
[21:19] Brod
    It sounds like you've made up your mind.
[21:22] Brod
    Well then, what will you do now?
[21:24] Luciel
    I'll get a referral to a healing clinic
    and save up money to buy a spell tome.
[21:29] Luciel
    I plan to stay based here in town,
    so I'll come back to train again.
[21:33] Luciel
    I'll also accept healing requests
    for a very low fee.
[21:36] Brod
    And after you buy a spell tome?
[21:39] Luciel
    Work until I've mastered it,
     then earn money with that
[21:45] Luciel
    so I can eventually start a clinic
    that's easy on everyone's wallet.
[21:50] Brod
    Yeah. Sounds just like you, Luciel.
[21:56] Brod
    It's been a very enjoyable year.
[21:58] Luciel
    It has been, Instructor Brod.
[22:01] Luciel
    I feel the same way.
[22:03] Luciel
    I really owe everything to you.
[22:19] Luciel
    All right.
[22:21] Luciel
    On to another bright day!
[23:55] Galba
    Luciel-kun really is a good, sincere kid.
[23:58] Galba
    I can understand what Brod saw in him.
[24:00] Galba
    There's a lot I'd also like to teach him.
[24:03] Galba
    Next time: "The Healing Clinic
    and the Arrival of Bottaculli."
