    Whoa. That's the Holy City of Shurule?

[01:49] Bazan
    So, what's next?
[01:51] Bazan
    Go straight to the church to pick a fight?
[01:54] Luciel
    Actually, I'm about out of Substance X.
[01:57] Bazan
    In that case, off to
    the Adventurers' Guild first?
[02:00] Luciel
    You all can report in to say
     you've finished escorting me.
[02:04] Luciel
    Convenient, right?
[02:05] Sekiroth
    And what are you really thinking?
[02:07] Luciel
    I'm worried I'll get picked on at the guild,
     so will you please come with me?
[02:12] Sekiroth
    Why don't you go with him, Bazan?
[02:14] Sekiroth
    We'll wait here in the carriage.
[02:16] Bazan
    Tch. Guess I've got no choice.
[02:26] Luciel
    It's built the same way.
[02:27] Bazan
    Luciel, over here.
[02:30] Luciel
    Oh? To reception?
[02:32] Bazan
    Never mind that. Over here.
[02:36] Milty
    Welcome. Did you place an order?
SIGN    Milty
[02:39] Luciel
    The cafeteria is the same, too.
[02:41] Bazan
    Is the master here?
[02:42] Milty
    Yes. And you are?
[02:44] Bazan
    Bazan of Lineage of the White Wolf.
[02:46] Bazan
    I stopped by to introduce
    Luciel here to the master.
[02:52] Milty
    Is that right?
[02:53] Milty
    I'll go call him. Would you mind
    waiting here for a moment?
[02:57] Bazan
    Sure.
[03:00] Bazan
    Luciel, don't judge a book by its cover.
[03:02] Luciel
    Huh?
[03:03] Bazan
    That waitress... She's at least
    as powerful as I am.
[03:08] Master
    Well, look who showed up! If it isn't Bazan!
SIGN    Master
[03:12] Master
    Been ages.
[03:14] Bazan
    Yeah. Let me introduce you to my friend here.
[03:17] Luciel
    My name is Luciel. I'm a healer, actually.
[03:23] Luciel
    Been a while since I got that reaction.
    I can feel the animosity.
[03:27] Master
    That must mean you're...
[03:29] Bazan
    Know the guy living at
    the Adventurers' Guild in Merratoni?
[03:33] Master
    Huh. So you are Brod's apprentice.
[03:36] Master
    But I bet you're not just here to say hello.
[03:39] Bazan
    You can place the order yourself.
[03:41] Luciel
    Okay.
[03:42] Luciel
    May I order Substance X by the barrel?
[03:46] Milty
    Um, would you mind repeating that?
[03:49] Luciel
    I'd like three large barrels of Substance X.
[03:52] adventurer A
    Three barrels?
[03:53] adventurer B
    Is he magic affiliation?
[03:53] adventurer C
    That stench is enough to scare monsters away!
[03:56] Luciel
    Do you have to put it like that?
[03:58] Master
    Drink this.
[04:00] Master
    I can't give Substance X
    to people who can't handle it.
[04:04] Luciel
    All right.
[04:11] adventurer A
    He's a monster!
[04:12] adventurer B
    He must be that super masochistic healer!
[04:14] adventurer C
    I thought he was an urban legend!
[04:16] Luciel
    I can hear you, you know!
[04:20] Luciel
    Thanks for the drink!
[04:21] Luciel
    Now, can I get my order?
[04:24] Master
    F-Fine. As long as you use it responsibly.
[04:30] Master
    All ready for ya.
[04:31] Luciel
    Thank you very much.
[04:33] Luciel
    I'll come back when I run out.
[04:36] Master
    Luciel the healer...
[04:38] Master
    Is it true that you treat people
    for a mere silver coin?
[04:43] Luciel
    Everyone at the Adventurers' Guild
    in Merratoni was very good to me.
[04:47] Luciel
    If nobody gives me trouble here,
     I'll think about it.
[04:54] driver
    Luciel, we're in front
    of church headquarters.
[04:57] Luciel
    Okay!
[05:01] Luciel
    This?
[05:02] Luciel
    It's huge!
SIGN    Healers' Guild Headquarters
[05:06] Bazan
    I guess this is the end of our journey.
[05:09] Luciel
    Yeah. Thank you for bringing me this far.
[05:13] Bazan
    It's my pleasure to guard
    the man who saved my life.
[05:17] Sekiroth
    He's right. You saved us, Luciel-kun.
[05:22] Bazan
    Welp, you better work hard enough to earn
    that spell tome you got for free.
[05:27] Luciel
    I will. R-Really and truly...
[05:30] Luciel
    Thank you so much!
[05:35] Bazan
    Next time, I hope we can
    grab a drink together!
[05:39] Luciel
    Yeah.
[05:41] Luciel
    This sure feels lonely.
[05:44] Luciel
    Like the first day after being
    transferred to a new office.
[05:49] Luciel
    That spell tome I got has to be valuable.
[05:52] Luciel
    I bet it's super expensive.
[05:55] Luciel
    I'll work hard to repay that favor.
[05:57] Luciel
    Now then, to church headquarters!
[06:00] Luciel
    But... what am I supposed
    to do now that I'm here?
[06:07] Luciel
    Excuse me.
[06:10] Luciel
    It's huge!
[06:12] Receptionist A
    Welcome.
[06:16] Receptionist A
    This is the Healers' Guild headquarters.
[06:18] Receptionist B
    How may we help you today?
[06:21] Luciel
    My name is Luciel.
[06:23] Luciel
    On the pope's orders,
    I was told to transfer here.
[06:28] Luciel
    I'd like to speak with
    a supervisor, if possible.
[06:31] Receptionist A
    Please wait a moment.
[06:34] Luciel
    Is that a device that allows
    telepathic communication?
[06:38] Receptionist B
    You are rather well informed, Luciel-sama.
[06:40] Luciel
    Oh, not at all!
[06:42] Luciel
    I just saw something like it
    at the Adventurers' Guild before.
[06:45] Receptionist B
    The Adventurers' Guild? Really?
[06:48] Luciel
    Is it that unusual for a healer
    to go to the Adventurers' Guild?
[06:53] Receptionist A
    Ah, here he is.
[06:57] Granhart
    Are you Luciel-dono?
[07:00] Granhart
    My name is Granhart.
SIGN    Granhart
[07:01] Granhart
    I am a priest here.
[07:04] Granhart
    I'm also the one who summoned you.
[07:06] Granhart
    Please come with me.
[07:08] Luciel
    All right.
[07:09] Receptionists
    Please take care.
[07:17] Luciel
    An automatic door?
[07:19] Granhart
    Go in.
[07:20] Luciel
    Okay.
[07:28] Luciel
    Whoa.
[07:30] Luciel
    An elevator?
[07:32] Granhart
    This is a magical elevating platform.
[07:34] Granhart
    You can use your magic to activate it
     and move it up or down.
[07:38] Luciel
    Are there any other entrances?
[07:41] Granhart
    No, there aren't.
[07:42] Granhart
    It's said that this was designed
    to prevent outsiders from entering freely.
[07:48] Luciel
    Is that right?
[07:49] Luciel
    Was it really to keep people out
    or to keep people in?
[08:00] Lumina
    What's this?
[08:02] Luciel
    Aren't you the person I took
    to the Healer's Guild in Merratoni?
[08:05] Luciel
    Lumina-sama!
[08:07] Luciel
    I didn't think I'd see her here so soon!
[08:09] Luciel
    That must be Monster Luck-sensei
    at work again!
[08:15] Lumina
    I believe your name was...
[08:17] Lumina
    Louis-kun.
[08:18] Luciel
    Splat!
[08:19] Lumina
    Now that you're here, Louis-kun...
[08:21] Luciel
    Lumina-sama, my name is Luciel.
[08:26] Luciel
    Thank you very much
    for your help in Merratoni.
[08:29] Luciel
    I'm surprised you recognized me.
[08:31] Lumina
    Yes, I remembered how crystal clear
    your magical aura was.
[08:36] Luciel
    Did you really?
[08:38] Luciel
    Magical aura? Maybe she has
    a special skill or something.
[08:42] Lumina
    I'd like to talk to you about something.
[08:48] Lumina
    But it looks like you just arrived,
    so just come by my room later.
[08:52] Luciel
    Is that all right?
[08:53] Lumina
    Yes, of course. Sorry
    to impose, Granhart-dono.
[08:58] Granhart
    Lumina-sama, you are the captain
    of the Valkyrie paladin regiment.
[09:03] Granhart
    It's hardly an imposition.
[09:05] Luciel
    What an awkward vibe.
[09:08] Lumina
    Well then, see you later.
[09:09] Luciel
    R-Right.
[09:16] Luciel
    This looks like a torture chamber.
[09:19] Granhart
    It's merely a storage room. Don't worry.
[09:22] Luciel
    A storage room for torture equipment?
[09:29] Granhart
    Now then, let's get to business.
[09:33] Granhart
    I was surprised to receive this
    letter from the Merratoni branch.
[09:37] Granhart
    It claims you provide treatments that
    are damaging to other healers' businesses.
[09:42] Granhart
    I would like to know the truth.
[09:44] Luciel
    So that's what this is. Granhart-san's
    only trying to get to the bottom of things.
[09:49] Luciel
    In that case, I have a way to handle this.
[09:52] Luciel
    I need to think back on what it was like
    when I was about to be promoted at work!
[09:57] Luciel
    In a sense, it is true.
[09:59] Granhart
    So you admit your crimes?
[10:03] Luciel
    I told Granhart-san about the problems with
    healers and money that I'd witnessed
[10:08] Luciel
    in the two years that I was in Merratoni.
[10:11] Luciel
    As a solution, I proposed making
    treatment fees more transparent
[10:15] Luciel
    so people could safely
    receive treatment without worry.
[10:19] Granhart
    Very well. I will discuss this with
    the other priests and the archbishop.
[10:24] Luciel
    Thank you very much for your understanding.
[10:27] Luciel
    But then, what exactly
    should I do after this?
[10:31] Granhart
    Here is your letter of
    appointment, Luciel-dono.
[10:34] Granhart
    You are hereby assigned to the Church
     of St. Shurule's spiritual cleansing unit.
[10:40] Granhart
    You will be given the position
    of both deacon and exorcist.
[10:43] Luciel
    Huh? Spiritual cleansing unit?
SIGN    Spiritual cleansing unit?
SIGN    Exorcist?
[10:47] Luciel
    Exorcist?
[10:48] Granhart
    Starting tomorrow, you will work to
    exorcise the undead at a specified location.
[10:54] Granhart
    Your wages will be
    twenty gold coins per month.
[10:58] Luciel
    Twenty gold coins?!
[11:00] Luciel
    That's like twenty million yen!
[11:02] Luciel
    Not per year, but per month*?!
[11:03] Granhart
    You will start tomorrow,
    so turn in early tonight.
[11:07] Luciel
    Yes, sir.
[11:08] Luciel
    I should've known I'd get*
    a promotion at headquarters!
[11:12] Luciel
    But... am I gonna be okay?
[11:18] Guide
    These are Lumina-sama's quarters.
[11:20] Luciel
    Thank you very much.
[11:22] Guide
    Not at all.
[11:24] Luciel
    I'm kind of nervous.
[11:26] Luciel
    It's Luciel.
[11:28] Lumina
    You can come in.
[11:34] Lumina
    Were you summoned here?
    Or was it a transfer?
[11:38] Luciel
    I received a letter from the pope
    saying that I would be transferred here.
[11:42] Lumina
    Getting a letter from Fluna-sama means
    you must be extremely special, Luciel-kun.
[11:48] Luciel
    I wouldn't call it that. In fact...
[11:52] Lumina
    I see. So what kind of work
    will you be doing now?
[11:56] Luciel
    I'm supposed to go exorcise
    the undead somewhere.
[12:00] Lumina
    Luciel-kun, this new assignment
    might put you in danger.
[12:05] Luciel
    Huh?
[12:06] Lumina
    Under the old guild headquarters building,
[12:09] Lumina
    there's a cemetery where
    the founders are enshrined.
[12:12] Lumina
    Several decades ago,
    it transformed into a labyrinth.
[12:15] Luciel
    A labyrinth? If magic continues to build
    somewhere it naturally gathers,
[12:20] Luciel
    it will absorb the desires
    and grudges of the living
[12:24] Luciel
    and begin conjuring monsters and loot.
[12:26] Lumina
    Oh? You're full of surprises.
[12:28] Lumina
    I thought you were supposed
    to be totally ignorant.
[12:30] Luciel
    Well, I did study hard for two whole years.
SIGN    SMUG
[12:33] Lumina
    Is that right?
[12:35] Lumina
    While watching to make sure no
    monsters escape the labyrinth,
[12:39] Lumina
    you try to thin them out.
[12:41] Lumina
    That will be your job.
[12:43] Luciel
    What types of monsters are there?
[12:45] Lumina
    Undead like skeletons, zombies, and ghosts.
[12:49] Luciel
    Can I fight those...?
[12:51] Lumina
    You can wipe them out instantly
     with holy purification spells.
[12:56] Lumina
    Don't you have considerable
    combat training as well, Luciel-kun?
[12:59] Luciel
    How'd she get intel on me?!
[13:02] Luciel
    Um, are there any pros to this work?
[13:06] Lumina
    Anything you gather in the labyrinth is yours.
[13:10] Lumina
    If you're lucky, you may find treasure.
[13:12] Lumina
    And if you sell your monster drops,
[13:14] Lumina
    you can purchase special
    exclusive tomes the Church sells.
[13:18] Luciel
    So there's a way for me
    to get stronger here, too!
SIGN    Hrrrgh...
SIGN    Aaah...
SIGN    Hrrrgh...
[13:24] Luciel
    But what if I get bit by
    a zombie and turn into one?!
[13:27] Luciel
    The maso-zombie becomes a real zombie...
[13:29] Luciel
    Wait, who are you calling a maso-zombie?!
[13:32] Lumina
    They may have poison, but I've never
    heard of anyone turning into a zombie.
[13:36] Luciel
    I'm relieved to hear that.
[13:39] Lumina
    Still, there are cons to this work, too.
[13:41] Lumina
    It smells terrible. Worse yet...
SIGN    It's the
    worst...
[13:45] Lumina
    The stink sticks to your clothes and people
    give you nasty looks when you get close.
[13:49] Luciel
    I don't see the problem.
[13:51] Luciel
    I'm used to that from Substance X.
[13:56] Lumina
    Oh dear. I'm sorry, but it's getting late.
[14:00] Luciel
    Thank you very much for today.
[14:02] Luciel
    I hope we cross paths again soon.
[14:04] Lumina
    Indeed. I hope we do as well.
[14:11] Luciel
    Now I know why I was sent to the Holy City
    and what I'm meant to do here.
[14:15] Luciel
    So I'll keep it up, just like when
[14:19] Luciel
    I was reincarnated
    and found my way to Merratoni.
[14:22] Luciel
    I'll do whatever I can
    to survive in this world.
[14:27] Luciel
    Good morning.
[14:28] Granhart
    It looks like you finally made it.
[14:30] Luciel
    I must have kept you waiting.
    Please accept my apologies.
[14:34] Jord
    Oh, it's all right. I'm sure Granhart-sama
    didn't tell you what time to come anyway.
SIGN    Jord
[14:41] Jord
    Nice to meet you. I'm Jord.
[14:44] Jord
    I'm your predecessor here.
[14:46] Luciel
    I'm Luciel. It's nice to meet you.
[14:49] Granhart
    First, you need to take this.
[14:52] Luciel
    What is it?
[14:53] Granhart
    A robe given to healers and
    knights here at headquarters
SIGN    Rank A or Above
[14:56] Granhart
    who hold rank A or above.
[14:58] Granhart
    It is specially sewn with holy
    silver threads that ward off miasma.
SIGN    Wards Off Miasma
SIGN    Holy Silver Threads
[15:03] Luciel
    Sounds expensive.
[15:05] Granhart
    It costs ten platinum coins.
SIGN    10 Platinum Coins!!
[15:06] Luciel
    That's like one billion yen!
[15:09] Granhart
    I'll also give you this.
[15:11] Granhart
    With this, you won't need my permission
    to use the magic elevating platform.
[15:15] Granhart
    You can even go outside.
[15:17] Luciel
    Really? Thank you so... much?
[15:21] Luciel
    What?
[15:22] Granhart
    I have to give it to you
    because I'm short on time,
[15:25] Granhart
    but you had best not
    cause any trouble. Understood?
[15:30] Granhart
    If you go out, you may not bring
    anyone back to headquarters.
[15:33] Granhart
    Not invalids, not children, not pets.
[15:36] Granhart
    Swear it, or I won't hand this over.
[15:39] Luciel
    That's a lot of stingy details.
[15:41] Luciel
    But it's not like I have a choice.
[15:44] Luciel
    I swear it.
[15:45] Granhart
    Good.
[15:47] Granhart
    Jord and I shall be your witnesses.
[15:52] Luciel
    What was that?
[15:54] Granhart
    A vow.
[15:55] Granhart
    If you break your promise, you will
    no longer be able to use the card.
[15:59] Granhart
    There will also be penalties,
    so you'd best be careful.
[16:04] Luciel
    Penalties?! Is that what
    the torture chamber is for?
SIGN    TOR
SIGN    TURE
[16:10] Jord
    The Church's penalties are unusually strict.
[16:14] Luciel
    Got it.
[16:15] Granhart
    Jord, you can handle the rest.
[16:18] Jord
    All right.
[16:22] Jord
    Well, let's head to the labyrinth.
[16:24] Jord
    But one thing first.
[16:26] Jord
    You should put that robe on.
[16:28] Luciel
    Okay!
[16:33] Jord
    Here we are. This is the labyrinth entrance.
SIGN    Pew
[16:42] Luciel
    Ugh! She wasn't kidding. It reeks.
SIGN    Pew
[16:45] Luciel
    It smells like rotting flesh.
    Still better than Substance X, though.
[16:49] Jord
    The monsters come up from underground.
[16:51] Luciel
    I see.
[16:53] Jord
    Here's one.
[16:54] Luciel
    Wow, we've hit our first zombie!
[16:57] Luciel
    I've seen them in movies and stuff!
[16:59] Luciel
    This is the real thing!
[17:02] Jord
    Just watch for now.
[17:03] Luciel
    Okay.
[17:04] Jord
    O holy touch of healing.
    O breath of the mother of this great land.
[17:09] Jord
    I beseech you, protect our bodies from harm
[17:13] Jord
    and return these unclean beings
    to the path from whence they came.
[17:18] Jord
    Purification!
[17:23] Jord
    And that's how it's done. This'll be
    your job starting today, Luciel-kun.
[17:27] Jord
    The undead are drawn to the living.
[17:30] Jord
    When one gets close, use the holy spell
    purification to exorcise them.
[17:35] Jord
    And this is a magical stone.
    Collect them in your satchel.
[17:38] Luciel
    Okay!
[17:38] Luciel
    Purification is a new spell
    I learned after leaving Merratoni.
[17:44] Luciel
    It's versatile magic that dispels impurity
    and curses. It also cleans things.
[17:48] Luciel
    It can even get the grime
    out of your lunch box.
SIGN    It even sanitizes!
[17:51] Luciel
    But what would you have done
    if I couldn't use purification?
[17:55] Jord
    You would have had to learn it on the job.
[17:58] Jord
    So anyway, good luck. Man, it reeks!
[18:02] Luciel
    Huh? Running from the stench...
[18:05] Luciel
    Oh well. Just gotta try to stay safe.
[18:11] Luciel
    The weapons Master Brod put in my magical
    bag are already coming in handy!
[18:16] Luciel
    All right! Time to exterminate zombies!
[18:21] Luciel
    I'm all ready to go,
    but I'm not finding any zombies.
[18:27] Luciel
    I guess I should start mapping.
[18:29] Luciel
    Like on graph paper.
    I might get lost otherwise.
[18:38] Luciel
    Oh my Lord! Oh my Buddha! Oh my ancestors!
[18:40] Luciel
    O holy touch of healing.
    O breath of the mother of this great land.
[18:43] Luciel
    I beseech you, protect our bodies from harm
[18:46] Luciel
    and return these unclean beings
    to the path from whence they came.
[18:50] Luciel
    Puri— Purifi—
[18:52] Luciel
    Purification!
[19:03] Luciel
    I accidentally cast it three times at once.
[19:05] Luciel
    Man, real zombies are seriously scary!
[19:09] Luciel
    Oh, that's right! I defeated some
    monsters, so I bet my level...
SIGN    Job: Healer
SIGN    Age: 17
SIGN    Level: 1
[19:14] Luciel
    hasn't gone up.
[19:16] Luciel
    Or is this labyrinth just
    an illusion? A training area?
[19:20] Luciel
    Is this how they haze newcomers here?
[19:23] Luciel
    But still...
[19:24] Luciel
    For twenty million a month, I'll dive in
    head first and use this place to train.
[19:31] Luciel
    If my level happens to go up, even better.
[19:33] Luciel
    But there's a limit to the number
    of times I can cast purification.
[19:38] Luciel
    Magical sword... purification!
[19:42] Luciel
    All that did was put the spell on my blade,
[19:47] Luciel
    but if I whack a zombie now,
[19:48] Luciel
    it should only use up
    one or two MP when I do.
[19:54] Luciel
    If I don't overdo it, I should
    recover that much right away.
[19:59] Luciel
    And I'm getting in sword training.
    Two birds with one stone!
[20:06] Luciel
    This is nothing compared
    to Master's training!
[20:09] Luciel
    It feels like they're standing still.
[20:11] Luciel
    Nobody can stop me now!
[20:14] Luciel
    Say, speaking of the undead, I wonder...
[20:18] Luciel
    Heal!
[20:21] Luciel
    I knew it! Using recovery magic
    on the undead actually damages them.
[20:26] Luciel
    Wait, that reeks! Purification!
[20:31] Luciel
    Okay. I've covered most of the first level.
[20:36] Luciel
    Guess that means I'm on to the second!
SIGN    Aaah...
SIGN    Rrrgh...
SIGN    Labyrinth, Second Level
[20:44] Luciel
    Yay! Monsters right from the start!
[20:47] Luciel
    Now if I could just get some treasure,
    this would be like
[20:50] Luciel
    the fantasy version
    of a test of courage for new hires.
[20:54] Luciel
    Is that what they call a will-o'-wisp?
[21:01] Luciel
    It's so weak!
[21:04] Luciel
    At this rate, the second
    level should be a breeze.
SIGN    GRUMBLE
[21:10] Luciel
    Maybe it's time for lunch.
[21:14] Luciel
    A sandwich!
[21:16] Luciel
    And Substance X...
[21:21] Luciel
    I guess Gulgar-san has a quota to meet,
    but I just can't get away from Substance X.
[21:32] Luciel
    Actually, thanks to this, the stench
    of the labyrinth doesn't bother me.
[21:37] Luciel
    Also, the monsters aren't attacking.
[21:40] Luciel
    Even though Jord said they
    were drawn to the living.
[21:46] Luciel
    So, the second level was like the first.
[21:51] Luciel
    Figuring I wouldn't get lost, I headed
    to the third and kept exploring.
SIGN    A mob of skeletons appears
[22:02] Luciel
    Purification! Purification!
[22:05] Luciel
    Purification!
SIGN    Out of magic
[22:17] Luciel
    And that's how, without too much trouble,
    I finished my first day of exploring.
[22:22] Luciel
    Let's call it a day!
[23:55] Granhart
    Torture devices?
SIGN    BLAH BLAH BLAH
[23:57] Granhart
    Oh. I'm just keeping them
    in the storage room.
[23:59] Granhart
    What reason would I have to use them
    at the Healers' Guild headquarters?!
[24:03] Granhart
    Next time: "A Threat in the Boss Room."
[24:05] Granhart
    I think I know how to,
    but I just don't use them at all.
SIGN    #8 A Threat in the Boss Room
