[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!

[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! [18:28] Luciel     Cure! Heal! [18:30] Luciel     I can't let them die! [18:32] Luciel     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     Status open!

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.

[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.

[21:39] 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.

[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.
