[00:02] Jord
    Purification!
[00:06] Luciel
    What was that for?!
[00:07] Jord
    Hey, you made it out alive!
[00:10] Jord
    You disappeared into
    the labyrinth for half a day,
[00:13] Jord
    so I figured you'd become a zombie.
[00:17] Luciel
    Is this guy kind of an airhead?
[00:20] Luciel
    I was brought to the labyrinth on assignment.
[00:22] Luciel
    It's a den of the undead.
[00:26] Luciel
    My job is to defeat them.
[00:30] Luciel
    But even though I am, my level isn't budging.
SIGN    Job: Healer
SIGN    Age: 17
SIGN    Level: 1
[00:33] Luciel
    In other words, this place must really be...
[00:36] Luciel
    some kind of specialized training facility.
[00:39] Luciel
    The zombies are just illusions!
[00:40] Jord
    Why are you grinning like
    you've figured something out?
SIGN    The Great Cleric

[02:16] Jord
    You can exchange the magic stones
    you pick up for points at the shop.
SIGN    #8 A Threat in the Boss Room
[02:20] Luciel
    I see.
[02:23] Luciel
    Whoa!
[02:24] Jord
    You can purchase anything here
     with those points.
[02:28] Jord
    They even sell exclusive spell tomes
[02:31] Jord
    in addition to potions, magic items, and such.
[02:33] Luciel
    Wow, this is just like a video game.
[02:37] Jord
    Cattleya-san!
[02:38] Cattleya
    Jord-san?
[02:41] Cattleya
    Is the newcomer doing all right?
[02:43] Luciel
    My name is Luciel.
[02:46] Cattleya
    I'm Cattleya. Nice to meet you.
SIGN    Cattleya
[02:49] Cattleya
    Facing the undead must have been tough.
[02:52] Luciel
    I've built up a tolerance for their like,
     so it was fine.
[02:55] Luciel
    From horror movies and games and stuff.
[02:58] Cattleya
    My, that's rather impressive.
[03:00] Luciel
    Ah, a compliment! That makes me happy.
[03:04] Cattleya
    Now please turn in the magic
    stones you collected today.
[03:06] Luciel
    Oh... It was just a business smile.
[03:09] Luciel
    Th-Thank you.
[03:11] Cattleya
    Of course. I'll just be a moment.
[03:14] Cattleya
    Here you go.
[03:16] Cattleya
    In total, that amounted to 4,216 points.
[03:19] Jord
    Four thousand?!
[03:20] Cattleya
    Quite an impressive haul for your first day.
[03:23] Cattleya
    I haven't seen earnings like that in a while.
[03:25] Cattleya
    Care to buy anything?
[03:27] Luciel
    Oh... Um, let's see.
[03:30] Luciel
    Are those spell tomes for sale?
[03:33] Cattleya
    Certainly.
[03:35] Cattleya
    The most expensive is one million points.
[03:38] Luciel
    One million?!
[03:39] Luciel
    I won't be able to afford that for a while.
[03:42] Cattleya
    You'd have to earn 250 times
    what you did today.
[03:45] Luciel
    What about those weapons?
[03:47] Cattleya
    They're made from silver and holy silver,
[03:49] Cattleya
    forged especially for fighting the undead.
[03:52] Cattleya
    They were all crafted by dwarfs.
[03:55] Luciel
    Wow. Oh?
[03:57] Luciel
    That spear also looks nice. How much is it?
[04:00] Cattleya
    Weapons are 2,500 points each.
[04:03] Luciel
    What a steal! That must be below cost.
[04:06] Cattleya
    The only people who shop here
    are healers who work as exorcists.
[04:10] Cattleya
    Very few of them actually know how
    to use weapons, so nobody buys these.
[04:15] Cattleya
    Reselling them is forbidden by oath too.
    There's just no demand.
[04:18] Luciel
    Wow! This is too perfect for me!
[04:21] Luciel
    It must be Monster Luck-sensei at work again!
[04:26] Luciel
    Still, isn't that far too cheap?
[04:28] Luciel
    And why is there no demand?
[04:30] Cattleya
    You're asking why?
[04:32] Cattleya
    Surely you know healers can't recite
    spells while wielding a weapon.
[04:36] Luciel
    I mean, I can.
[04:38] Cattleya
    So now it's just dead stock
    filling up the warehouse.
[04:43] Luciel
    Okay, then when I'm done with work tomorrow,
[04:46] Luciel
    I'd like to purchase a sword and spear.
[04:48] Luciel
    I don't have enough points just yet.
[04:50] Cattleya
    My, you're an odd one.
[04:52] Cattleya
    Fine, since you're a first-time customer,
    I'll let you have them both for 4,000 points.
[04:56] Luciel
    Will you really?!
[04:59] Cattleya
    Just don't get yourself killed.
[05:02] Luciel
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:03] Luciel
    I'll be careful to start
    earning even more tomorrow!
[05:05] Cattleya
    You really are an odd one.
[05:10] Cattleya
    Oh, and Jord-san, good work up until now.
[05:13] Jord
    Yeah... Right.
[05:18] Luciel
    I finished my first day on the job!
[05:21] Luciel
    I guess my next goal is that
    one-million-point tome.
[05:27] Luciel
    It's so nice to be able to see
    my earnings adding up.
[05:30] Luciel
    Reminds me of collecting store
    loyalty points in my past life.
[05:34] Luciel
    Now...
[05:36] Luciel
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[05:38] Granhart
    Well?
[05:39] Luciel
    What?
[05:40] Granhart
    How are things going?
[05:42] Luciel
    N-No big problems so far.
[05:45] Granhart
    Is that right? That's fine, then.
[05:47] Luciel
    Thanks for worrying about me.
[05:50] Granhart
    Next, regarding your wages, they'll be
[05:52] Granhart
    deposited into your guild account
     at the start of the month.
[05:54] Granhart
    You can check the balance
     at reception downstairs.
[05:57] Granhart
    Also, if you need any equipment,
    you may use what's in the storage room.
[06:03] Luciel
    Thank you!
[06:04] Granhart
    Be sure to only take what you require.
[06:08] Luciel
    All right.
[06:09] Granhart
    Moreover, make sure you eat
     three complete meals a day.
[06:12] Granhart
    Don't forget to brush your teeth afterward.
[06:14] Granhart
    And don't let yourself become a night owl.
[06:15] Granhart
    Be sure to get ample sleep,
    lest you find yourself unable to focus.
[06:20] Granhart
    Your job is a matter of life or death.
[06:22] Granhart
    You lose focus, you lose your life.
[06:25] Granhart
    Never forget that.
[06:26] Granhart
    Also...
[06:28] Granhart
    Here's your clerical robe.
[06:30] Luciel
    Huh?
[06:31] Granhart
    You should wear this inside headquarters.
[06:34] Luciel
    Oh, thank you very much.
[06:35] Luciel
    This is what he went out of his way for?
[06:37] Granhart
    Do you fully understand what
    it means to don a clerical robe?
SIGN    BLAH BLAH BLAH
[06:42] Granhart
    God has granted us a rare gift
    in the form of recovery magic,
[06:45] Granhart
    and that gift means shouldering
     a titanic responsibility.
[06:48] Granhart
    In essence, the clerical robe is not
    merely a symbol of position or affiliation.
[06:52] Granhart
    It is also a means of reminding you
    of your obligations as a healer.
[06:56] Granhart
    We are always being tested
    and must never forget that even for a moment.
[06:59] Granhart
    Now, excuse me.
[07:00] Luciel
    Y-Yes, sir.
[07:05] Luciel
    Was he waiting here just to give me this?
[07:09] Luciel
    I feel like I have a better sense
     of what kind of guy he is.
[07:13] Luciel
    Or maybe not.
SIGN    The Next Day
[07:21] Luciel
    Ready to roll!
[07:22] Luciel
    I bet if Master saw me now,
    he'd beat me to a pulp.
SIGN    Dual Spear-Sword Style
[07:26] Luciel
    But I always wanted to try this!
[07:28] Luciel
    It'll be great if I can pull it off.
SIGN    Slash!!
[07:30] Luciel
    I just have to mind my form.
SIGN    Block!!
SIGN    Thrust!!
SIGN    Day Two
[07:33] Luciel
    My second day of exploring the labyrinth...
[07:36] Luciel
    was just mapping and exploring,
[07:39] Luciel
    plus defeating more zombie illusions.
[07:41] Luciel
    Wait, they're carrying weapons now?
[07:45] Cattleya
    You collected 5,372 points?
    Don't overdo it, okay?
[07:49] Luciel
    On day two, I mapped all the way to
    the fifth level before I called it quits.
SIGN    Day Three Level Six
[07:55] Luciel
    This is a breeze! A breeze, I tell you!
[07:58] Luciel
    I don't know how many levels there are,
[08:00] Luciel
    but at this rate, I'll conquer
    this place in a snap!
[08:05] Luciel
    The monsters here are zombie knights
     and zombie archers!
[08:10] Luciel
    Why are they getting so close
    if they have bows and arrows?
[08:15] Luciel
    And you fireballs... Take this!
[08:18] Luciel
    They glow brighter before they attack,
    so I'm good as long as I get to them first.
[08:22] Luciel
    Oh well, I guess it's about lunchti—
[08:27] Luciel
    Whoa!
[08:28] Luciel
    A... A trap?
[08:32] Luciel
    Oh, I know what this is!
[08:34] Luciel
    It's their way of warning me, "Golly darn,
    there might be traps comin' up!"
[08:38] Luciel
    That's so nice of them!
[08:40] Luciel
    Not! I'd better make note of this.
[08:46] Luciel
    A mob of zombies?!
[08:48] Luciel
    Purification!
SIGN    Exploring the Labyrinth, Day Three and Beyond
[08:54] Luciel
    After that, the number of monsters increased
[08:57] Luciel
    and I become very cautious about traps,
SIGN    Trap
SIGN    Mapping
[09:00] Luciel
    which slowed my pace.
[09:02] Luciel
    But nothing out of the ordinary happened,
[09:05] Luciel
    so I just kept on exploring, bit by bit.
[09:08] Luciel
    Okay.
[09:10] Luciel
    Well, there was one development.
[09:11] Luciel
    My points started reaching new heights,
[09:14] Luciel
    even though my level stayed stuck at 1.

[09:22] Luciel
    Purification!
[09:26] Luciel
    Yikes! Purification is
    basically a cheat spell.
[09:30] Luciel
    Twenty zombies cleaned up just like that.
[09:32] Luciel
    It's like a discount sale on magic stones!
[09:35] Luciel
    Okay. It's about time I find
    a staircase to the next level down.
[09:42] Luciel
    Wuh?
[09:47] Luciel
    Is that... a boss room?
[09:50] Luciel
    Maybe I'll go back for a bit.
[09:55] Luciel
    What appears in the boss room?
[09:57] Jord
    "Boss room"? What do you mean?
[10:00] Luciel
    Um, well...
[10:02] Luciel
    I guess they don't call them "bosses."
[10:04] Luciel
    It looks like it houses a strong monster.
[10:06] Jord
    Ah, where the big group
    of them suddenly attacks you?
[10:10] Luciel
    A big group?! Of bosses?!
[10:13] Jord
    Wait, you've already gotten that far?
[10:16] Jord
    I only made it there right
    before I passed the job on to you.
[10:21] Luciel
    Huh?
SIGN    Day Eleven
[10:24] Luciel
    I'm good to go, my magic's good
     to go, and my gear's good to go.
[10:27] Luciel
    Time to do this thing!
[10:29] Luciel
    I even bought a new bow for the boss battle.
[10:32] (Flashback) Cattleya
    That will be 50,000 points, please!
SIGN    50k points
[10:35] Luciel
    I wonder if I clear this place
    by taking the boss out.
[10:39] Luciel
    I keep thinking about how long
     it took Jord-san to get here.
[10:42] Luciel
    Maybe not many folks
    have conquered the labyrinth.
[10:46] Luciel
    I mean, if it's a training ground
    for newbies, that would check out.
[10:51] Luciel
    Maybe...
[10:53] Luciel
    I'll be the fastest person
    to make it through!
[10:56] Luciel
    I hope I receive a fabulous reward!
SIGN    Prize Money
[10:59] Luciel
    This is gonna be fun!
[11:01] Luciel
    Maybe if I clear this, I can
    get back to Merratoni early.
[11:06] Luciel
    All right! Now for a little liquid courage.
[11:12] Luciel
    Disgusting!
[11:18] Luciel
    It's so dark.
[11:41] Luciel
    I heard there would be a big group
    but I didn't expect this many!
[11:46] Luciel
    Nah, this is no big deal.
    Keep your cool, dude.
[11:51] Luciel
    I may be surrounded,
    but they didn't take me by surprise.
[11:56] Luciel
    O holy touch of healing.
[11:58] Luciel
    O breath of the mother of this great land.
[12:00] Luciel
    I beseech you, protect our bodies from harm
[12:04] Luciel
    and return these unclean beings
    to the path from whence they came.
[12:09] Luciel
    Purification!
[12:12] Luciel
    Purification!
[12:15] Luciel
    Why...? What gives?!
[12:19] Luciel
    Stay away!
[12:20] Luciel
    Damn it! Is my magic blocked here?!
[12:23] Luciel
    Are you trying to keep me
    from my fabulous prize money?!
[12:26] Luciel
    No... This is because I got
    too full of myself.
[12:31] Luciel
    I'm not the hero of the story. I'm no genius.
[12:35] Luciel
    I should have taken the time
    to gather information.
[12:37] Luciel
    I totally brought this on myself.
[12:41] Luciel
    Ouch!
[12:43] Luciel
    Why does it hurt if it's an illusion?
[12:45] Luciel
    Phantom pain?
[12:46] Luciel
    All right, which one of you scratched me?!
[12:48] Luciel
    That hurt, I tell you!
[12:53] Luciel
    This isn't so bad.
[12:54] Luciel
    Master Brod's training was
    a lot more painful and scary!
[12:58] Luciel
    I can't cast spells right now,
    but I can still channel them into my weapon.
[13:02] Luciel
    I've got this. I can win.
[13:14] Luciel
    Phew. They're all gone.
[13:18] Luciel
    I'm so tired. I want to use heal.
[13:21] Luciel
    But even now, if Master told me
    to start running, I'd probably do it.
[13:27] Luciel
    I'm so glad I had him train me.
[13:29] Luciel
    When I get paid, I should
    send him something nice.
[13:32] Luciel
    All right. It'll be a pain,
    but I need to pick up these stones.
[13:35] Luciel
    Then once I get out of here,
    I'll use recover—
[13:38] Luciel
    Whoa!
[13:43] Luciel
    What the? There's another one?
[13:50] Luciel
    Is that... a wight?
[13:58] Luciel
    So the mob before wasn't the boss battle?
[14:02] Luciel
    O-Ouch... Heal!
[14:06] Luciel
    It's still not working!
[14:08] Luciel
    Damn it!
[14:11] Luciel
    He was serious about dodging that.
    So he wants to keep away from it?
[14:15] Luciel
    In that case...
[14:19] Luciel
    That's it! He's afraid
    of holy silver weapons!
[14:23] Cattleya
    Surely you know healers can't recite
    spells while wielding a weapon.
[14:27] Luciel
    That's because using magic requires
    imagination and concentration.
[14:31] Luciel
    Maybe it's different with the undead,
[14:34] Luciel
    but that might be my clue
    to defeating this wight.
[14:38] Luciel
    Right when he casts a spell,
    that's my chance!
[14:45] Luciel
    Ooh, talk about a death glare.
[14:48] Luciel
    Must be tough carrying so much rage.
[14:51] Luciel
    Staying angry all the time
    just wears people out.
[14:54] Luciel
    Ah, but you're a monster!
[15:03] Luciel
    Now's my chance!
[15:11] Luciel
    Normally, that'd be enough to finish you off.
[15:20] Luciel
    But whoever built this
    labyrinth is a real scoundrel,
[15:22] Luciel
    so of course I knew
    you wouldn't go down that easily!
[15:31] Luciel
    Don't you dare regenerate this time!
[15:40] Luciel
    Whew.
[15:42] Luciel
    Let's try it now. Heal!
[15:45] Luciel
    Yes! It worked!
[15:48] Luciel
    I guess video game logic
    applies to fantasy worlds.
[15:53] Luciel
    Like, you can't use magic
     until after you beat the boss.
[15:56] Luciel
    Oh well. Time to pack up
    the magic stones and loot.
[16:02] Luciel
    That should do it.
[16:09] Luciel
    A staircase?
[16:10] Luciel
    There's more to this place after all.
[16:13] Luciel
    But for now, I think I'll grab
     a bite and head back.
[16:21] Luciel
    Cattleya-san, hello!
[16:23] Cattleya
    Oh my. I don't usually see you
     around at this hour.
[16:26] Luciel
    I had a tough run today.
[16:28] Cattleya
    It does take a while to get used to.
[16:31] Cattleya
    Just don't overdo it.
[16:32] Luciel
    Also, I have something
    I'd like to show you later.
[16:36] Cattleya
    Oh? What could it be?
[16:39] Cattleya
    What's all this?!
[16:40] Luciel
    There was a big horde of undead
    in the level ten boss room.
[16:43] Cattleya
    Did you say... level ten?
[16:46] Luciel
    Yes. I couldn't even use magic,
    so I totally panicked.
[16:50] Luciel
    I somehow got rid of them,
    but then a wight appeared.
[16:53] Luciel
    I really thought I was a goner!
[16:57] Cattleya
    Why are you being so reckless?
[17:00] Luciel
    Scary!
[17:02] Luciel
    I didn't think I was.
[17:04] Luciel
    I didn't expect to encounter
     something like that.
[17:07] Luciel
    And I had no idea my magic wouldn't work...
[17:09] Cattleya
    Didn't you go through orientation?
[17:11] Luciel
    W-Well, it's only my eleventh
     day on the post.
[17:15] Luciel
    And labyrinth crawling is
    an exorcist's job, right?
[17:21] Cattleya
    Yes, you're right. I'm sorry I got so upset.
[17:26] Cattleya
    I'll go exchange your magic stones.
[17:28] Luciel
    Thank you.
[17:33] Cattleya
    Okay, here are your points for today.
[17:35] Cattleya
    You earned a total of 108,914.
[17:38] Luciel
    Huh?!
[17:40] Luciel
    I think that's too many digits.
[17:42] Cattleya
    No, it's accurate.
[17:43] Luciel
    Maybe that really was a boss.
SIGN    That
[17:46] Cattleya
    Now, didn't you say
    you had something to show me?
[17:49] Luciel
    Oh, yes!
[17:51] Luciel
    The wight I killed was wearing this.
[17:56] Luciel
    I have no way to assess the value myself.
[17:59] Cattleya
    This can't be...
[18:00] Luciel
    I also have the wight's staff.
[18:03] Cattleya
    Pack these in your bag and follow me.
[18:05] Luciel
    What? Oh!
[18:07] Cattleya
    And change into your clerical robe.
[18:09] Luciel
    Huh?
[18:10] Luciel
    Pack this? And change?
[18:12] Cattleya
    Hurry up!
[18:13] Luciel
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:17] Luciel
    Isn't this place off-limits to me?
[18:21] Cattleya
    Your Holiness, it's Cattleya.
[18:23] Luciel
    "Your Holiness"?!
[18:25] Cattleya
    There is an urgent matter I wish to share.
[18:27] Luciel
    Someone this important and she
    doesn't even have an appointment?!
[18:31] Fluna
    I'll allow it. Enter.
[18:34] Luciel
    Cattleya-san must be
    more than a mere shop lady.
[18:48] Pope
    Cattleya, it is good to see you.
[18:51] Cattleya
    Your Holiness.
[18:51] Fluna
    But I don't know your companion.
    What brings you here?
SIGN    The Pope
[18:55] Luciel
    A woman?
[18:57] Cattleya
    This individual is our new exorcist.
[19:00] Cattleya
    Since taking his position,
[19:02] Cattleya
    he has vanquished a remarkable
    number of undead in the labyrinth.
[19:06] Pope
    Is that so? Still, I suspect there is more.
[19:11] Cattleya
    Today, he fought the wight
    in the main chamber of level ten.
[19:14] Cattleya
    Before he knew it,
    his magic was being suppressed there.
[19:19] Pope
    Are you certain of that?
[19:21] Cattleya
    Yes.
[19:22] Cattleya
    He was successfully able
    to retrieve the wight's items.
[19:26] Cattleya
    After assessing them,
     I've determined the validity of his claims,
[19:30] Cattleya
    so I've brought the items here to you.
[19:32] Fluna
    Hmm.
[19:34] Fluna
    I will allow you to speak.
[19:36] Fluna
    Sir, what is your name?
[19:40] Luciel
    I am Luciel.
[19:42] Fluna
    Very well, Luciel.
    Show me what you retrieved.
[19:47] maid
    Please place them here.
[19:48] Luciel
    Y-Yes.
[19:56] Fluna
    These undoubtedly belong to Ozanario,
    who disappeared twelve years ago.
[20:02] Fluna
    Thank you for bringing them back.
[20:04] Fluna
    This spirit necklace reduces
    magic consumption by half,
[20:09] Fluna
    and the staff of disruption disperses
    your magic, disabling the magic of others.
[20:17] Fluna
    It is a very powerful staff.
[20:19] Luciel
    Talk about cheat items!
[20:22] Fluna
    Luciel, I would like to
    purchase these from you.
[20:26] Luciel
    Huh?
[20:29] Luciel
    Her eyes are telling me not to refuse!
[20:32] Luciel
    But maybe I can make one proposal.
[20:35] Luciel
    Time to use the business skills
    I cultivated in my previous life!
[20:38] Luciel
    I believe those items must have
    strong sentimental value for you.
[20:43] Luciel
    So I agree. I will relinquish them to you.
[20:45] Fluna
    Good. You have my thanks, Luciel.
[20:49] Luciel
    However...
[20:50] Pope
    Hmm?
[20:51] Luciel
    Please forgive my brashness,
    but I would like to make a request.
[20:54] Cattleya
    What?
[20:55] Fluna
    Very well. I will hear it.
[20:57] Luciel
    When I am exploring, the magic bag I have
    doesn't carry enough. It's inconvenient.
[21:02] Luciel
    If possible, could you provide me
    a magic bag with a larger capacity?
[21:07] Fluna
    Is that all you want?
[21:09] Fluna
    In that case, do not worry.
[21:12] Fluna
    Instead of a magic bag,
    I shall give you a magic sack.
[21:16] Fluna
    Inside is an alternate dimension
    where time has stopped,
[21:20] Fluna
    so it can hold as much as this room.
[21:22] Fluna
    You can also tell what's inside.
[21:25] Luciel
    That's so generous!
[21:26] Luciel
    Am I truly worthy of such a gift?
[21:30] Fluna
    Fret not.
[21:32] Fluna
    This is beneficial for myself as well.
[21:36] Fluna
    If you find something else
    while exploring the labyrinth,
[21:39] Fluna
    return with Cattleya to see me.
[21:41] Fluna
    You will be presented with a reward.
[21:45] Fluna
    I will leave the magic sack with Cattleya.
[21:48] Fluna
    You may retrieve it tomorrow.
[21:50] Fluna
    I appreciate your efforts, Luciel.
[21:53] Luciel
    Thank you.
[21:57] Cattleya
    You sure do keep a cool head.
[22:01] Luciel
    Do I?
[22:02] Cattleya
    Requesting something in exchange
    when making an offering to the pope...
[22:06] Cattleya
    Most people wouldn't dare.
[22:08] Luciel
    Maybe it was a little too bold.
[22:10] Cattleya
    I think it was fine.
[22:12] Cattleya
    She liked you enough to give
    you a magic sack, after all.
[22:16] Cattleya
    So you can relax.
[22:17] Luciel
    O-Okay.
[22:19] Luciel
    Except when you look at me like that,
    I can't relax at all!
[23:55] Cattleya
    Goodness, what is wrong with him?
[23:57] Cattleya
    He clears the boss room on level ten
    and then strikes a deal with the pope?
[24:01] Cattleya
    I'm so nervous, I can't take my eyes off him!
SIGN    LOOM
[24:04] Cattleya
    Next time: "Training with
    the Paladin Regiment."
SIGN    #9 Training with the Paladin Regiment
[24:06] Cattleya
    Could this be the beginnings of love?!
[24:08] Cattleya
    Nah, not a chance. Never.
