    Hmm...

    Areas of Improvement
[00:08] Luciel
    When I list my mistakes from the boss battle,
     I can't fit them all on one page.
[00:14] Luciel
    I bet Master would chew me out for this,
[00:16] Luciel
    and Gulgar-san would make me
    chug a barrel of Substance X.
SIGN    LOOOOOM
[00:22] Luciel
    Maybe I should ask if they'll let me
    join in on paladin or templar training.
[00:31] Luciel
    But now, it's time for breakfast!
[00:35] Luciel
    I'm so hungry.
[00:37] Lumina
    Luciel-kun.
[00:41] Lumina
    Good morning.
[00:43] Luciel
    Good morning to you, too.
    And who's this with you today?
[00:46] Lumina
    Ah, these are members of my regiment.
[00:50] Queena
    My name is Queena.
[00:52] Lucy
    I'm Lucy. We are Lumina-sama's
    escorts... or something like that.
[00:56] Luciel
    How do you do? I'm Luciel, an exorcist.
[01:01] Luciel
    Are you all having breakfast now, too?
[01:03] Lumina
    Indeed. We always dine after
    early morning training.
[01:08] Lumina
    By the way, I hear you're already
    getting results after just ten days.
[01:13] Luciel
    Uh, about that...
[01:16] Luciel
    I've been kicking myself since yesterday.
[01:20] Lumina
    If you'd like to talk, I'll hear you out.
    Care to join us for breakfast?
[01:24] Luciel
    Yes! I'd like that very much.
[01:27] Luciel
    Monster Luck-sensei! You're doing great work!
[01:30] Monster Luck-sensei
    I'm right there with you!

[03:06] Lumina
    You fought a wight on the tenth floor?!
SIGN    #9 Training with the Paladin Regiment
[03:09] Luciel
    Er, um... Y-Yes.
[03:13] Lucy
    Do you have a death wish?!
[03:15] Luciel
    Thwack!
[03:16] Queena
    That's so foolish. You just got lucky.
[03:19] Luciel
    Thwack! Thwack!
[03:20] Lumina
    And here I thought you'd
    outgrown your ignorance,
[03:23] Lumina
    but now you've started taking blind risks?
[03:27] Luciel
    Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
[03:28] Lumina
    I can't stand those
    who don't value their own lives.
[03:31] Luciel
    No!
[03:38] Luciel
    I've been beating myself up
    over it this whole time.
[03:41] Luciel
    Please, have mercy on me.
[03:45] Lucy
    But now what?
[03:47] Lucy
    If you keep on like this,
    you'll wind up dead eventually.
[03:50] Luciel
    I wish I could return to Merratoni
    to train more and get stronger.
[03:54] Queena
    In principle, healers
    aren't allowed to transfer
[03:58] Queena
    unless they receive a formal
    appointment from headquarters.
[04:02] Lumina
    If training is what you're after,
    I think we can help.
[04:06] Luciel
    Can you really?
[04:08] Lumina
    But it might be a challenge for a healer.
[04:10] Luciel
    P-Please let me try!
[04:16] Luciel
    Thank you so much, Monster Luck-sensei!
[04:24] Luciel
    Then, as per usual,
    I went back to the undead labyrinth.
[04:28] Luciel
    All right!
[04:32] Luciel
    Purification!
[04:35] Luciel
    There were no major surprises
    on the eleventh level.
[04:40] Luciel
    I explored down to the twelfth and stopped.
[04:43] Luciel
    Cattleya-san?
[04:45] Cattleya
    Oh, Luciel-kun! Welcome.
[04:48] Cattleya
    Shall we convert your points first?
[04:50] Luciel
    Y-Yes!
[04:53] Cattleya
    Why are you so anxious?
[04:56] Luciel
    You left quite an impression on me yesterday.
[05:04] Luciel
    Were you originally a paladin or templar,
    or maybe a retainer of the pope?
[05:08] Cattleya
    Goodness me.
[05:09] Cattleya
    You shouldn't get so nosy.
[05:09] ---
    LOOOOOM
[05:12] Cattleya
    A lady likes to keep her secrets, you know.
[05:15] Luciel
    Oh crap!
[05:16] Cattleya
    Bad things can happen to people
    who pry too much, you know?
[05:19] Luciel
    Yes, of course!
[05:21] Luciel
    Plenty of things are better left unknown...
[05:27] Cattleya
    Oh, that's right.
[05:29] Cattleya
    Here. This is a magic sack.
[05:31] Luciel
    Oh, so this is it?
[05:34] Cattleya
    Channel some of your magic into it.
[05:36] Luciel
    My magic?
[05:39] Luciel
    Oh! It changed colors!
[05:41] ---
    Luciel's very own
[05:42] Cattleya
    Now it's your very own
    magic sack, Luciel-kun.
[05:45] Cattleya
    You can stash basically anything
     that's within your reach.
SIGN    "Stow"
SIGN    Touch
[05:51] Cattleya
    Just touch something and recite "stow"
    to store it in the bag.
[05:55] Cattleya
    To pull something out, imagine the item
    you want and recite "retrieve."
SIGN    "Retrieve"
SIGN    Recite
[05:59] Luciel
    Thanks a ton!
[06:01] Luciel
    Wait, are there books in here?
[06:04] Cattleya
    Yes. The pope instructed me
    to throw in all the tomes we have.
[06:11] Fluna
    Do your best now, dear Luciel.
[06:15] Luciel
    Your Holiness!
[06:16] Luciel
    Thank you so much!
[06:18] Luciel
    But wow, Monster Luck-sensei
    is working like crazy today!
SIGN    3rd time today!
[06:23] Monster Luck-sensei
    A rush of good luck!
[06:27] Luciel
    The next day, I safely explored
    all the way to the fifteenth level.
SIGN    Valkyrie Paladin Regiment
[06:40] Luciel
    It's a pleasure to meet you all.
[06:42] Luciel
    I'm Luciel, and I work as an exorcist.
SIGN    A good introduction is critical for a businessman
[06:45] Luciel
    In hopes of getting stronger,
    I requested this arrangement
[06:49] Luciel
    and will now be training alongside
     the Valkyrie paladin regiment.
[06:53] Luciel
    I may get in your way here and there,
    but I aspire to do my best.
[06:56] Lumina
    Introduce yourselves when
     you have free time. That is all.
[07:01] Knights
    Ma'am!
[07:02] Lumina
    All right. Like usual, let's warm up
    and then start combat training.
[07:07] Luciel
    Um, I realize that you're all
    far more skilled than I am,
[07:11] Luciel
    but even for training,
    I'm not sure I can attack a woman.
[07:15] Lumina
    You truly are dull, aren't you?
[07:18] Luciel
    I haven't been called that in a while!
[07:20] Luciel
    I guess that means they're really tough...
[07:22] Lumina
    Okay, let's go!
[07:23] Knights
    Ma'am!
[07:28] Lucy
    Don't just stand there. Keep up with us.
[07:30] Queena
    We're just going to run a bit.
[07:32] Luciel
    Roger that!
[07:34] Luciel
    No big deal.
[07:35] Luciel
    I spent mornings and nights sprinting
    at the Adventurers' Guild for two years.
[07:39] Luciel
    Piece of cake!
[07:43] Luciel
    Or so I freakin' thought!
[07:45] Lumina
    You're too slow. Run like you mean it.
[07:50] Luciel
    Huh? Huh?!
[07:52] Luciel
    Did I just get lapped?
[07:55] Luciel
    But I'm running as fast as I can!
[07:57] Luciel
    Is my status really that inferior?
[08:01] Brod
    You're slow! Too slow!
[08:03] Luciel
    At this rate, it feels like the
    paladin regiment is telling me
[08:07] Luciel
    my training with Master was all for nothing.
[08:10] Luciel
    Damn it! I won't accept that!
[08:13] Luciel
    I can't catch up to them because
    of my job and level?
[08:16] Luciel
    I'll never accept that!
[08:17] Luciel
    Go!
[08:22] Luciel
    By the time we stopped running
    after half an hour,
[08:28] Luciel
    I was eight laps behind.
SIGN    Humiliation...
[08:35] Lumina
    All right, break into groups
    and begin combat training.
[08:38] Knights
    Ma'am!
[08:40] Luciel
    Here I come!
[08:41] Lumina
    Hmm...
[08:43] Luciel
    Huh?
[08:44] Lumina
    How long have you been
    using that fighting style?
[08:46] Luciel
    Since I started in the labyrinth.
[08:49] Lumina
    If you have no dual-wielding skill,
    that's pretty reckless.
[08:52] Luciel
    Urk.
SIGN    Oof
[08:53] Lumina
    I want to see your actual abilities.
[08:56] Lumina
    Attack me with what you learned
    at the Adventurers' Guild.
[09:00] Luciel
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:01] Luciel
    Then it's sword and shield, I guess.
[09:03] Luciel
    All right!
[09:05] Luciel
    Here I come!
[09:12] Lumina
    You're leaving yourself open.
[09:17] Luciel
    O holy touch of healing.
[09:20] Luciel
    O breath of the mother of this great land.
[09:22] Luciel
    O Lord, I offer up my magic...
[09:26] Brod
    Listen up, Luciel.
[09:28] Brod
    Most people who attack you will be
    a lot stronger than you are.
[09:33] Luciel
    I see.
[09:34] Brod
    However, you have a strength
    unknown to most combatants.
[09:38] Brod
    So lay a trap for them.
[09:41] Brod
    Lay a trap!
[09:43] Luciel
    Bring relief as from the breath of an angel.
[09:46] Luciel
    High heal!
[09:52] Luciel
    Yes!
[09:53] Luciel
    Wait, what?
[09:54] Luciel
    She's gone?
[09:55] Lumina
    Very well done.
[10:01] Lucy
    Wake up. Wake up!
[10:10] Lucy
    I'm telling you to wake up!
[10:14] Luciel
    Yeowch!
[10:16] Luciel
    Huh?
[10:17] Luciel
    Is this... the training yard?
[10:20] Lucy
    It is.
[10:21] Queena
    Lumina-sama told us to take care of you.
[10:24] Luciel
    Is morning training over?
[10:27] Luciel
    Thank you for waiting for me.
[10:30] Lucy
    It's all right. I never expected
    Lumina-sama would knock you out.
[10:34] Lucy
    You really went all out, Luciel.
[10:37] Lucy
    She doesn't go that hard on us.
[10:41] Queena
    Yes, that was a surprise.
[10:44] Queena
    I never thought Lumina-sama would
    show a healer that much respect.
SIGN    Say what?
[10:49] Luciel
    For now, I'd better heal.
[10:53] Lumina
    Stop right there!
[10:55] Lumina
    Bodyguard training is over.
    The defending side wins.
[11:01] Lumina
    Now, let's review how that went.
[11:04] Lumina
    Does anyone have anything to say?
[11:08] Lumina
    Elizabeth?
[11:09] Elizabeth
    I believe the main reason
    we attackers lost this time
[11:13] Elizabeth
    was because the other side had him.
[11:16] Luciel
    Huh? Me?
[11:17] Lumina
    Exactly right.
[11:19] Lumina
    With less than five years' experience,
[11:22] Lumina
    Lucy's side should have
    a hard time defeating Elizabeth's.
[11:24] Lumina
    However, Luciel-kun's support
    helped strengthen their defenses.
[11:30] Lumina
    At seventeen years old,
    Luciel-kun is already a level 5 healer
[11:34] Lumina
    with holy magic affinity 7.
[11:37] Lumina
    He's a real oddball.
[11:42] Elizabeth
    But even for a talented healer,
    that would normally be impossible!
[11:47] Lumina
    Quit squabbling, Elizabeth.
[11:50] Lumina
    Like I just said, Luciel-kun is an oddball.
[11:54] Luciel
    I wish you wouldn't say that
    like you mean it!
SIGN    ODDBALL
[11:58] Luciel
    Calling me an oddball...
    Even from you, Lumina-sama, that sounds rude!
[12:02] Lumina
    Oh?
[12:04] Lumina
    I even heard that just ten days after
    registering at the Healers' Guild,
SIGN    Business Mode
[12:08] Lumina
    you left to take room and board
     at the Adventurers' Guild,
[12:12] Lumina
    where you treated people for free
    in exchange for combat training.
[12:18] Lumina
    Are you telling me that intel is false?
[12:21] Luciel
    My private life has been compromised!
SIGN    MASSIVE PERSONAL
    DATA LEAK
[12:24] Luciel
    Isn't there some kind of privacy policy?!
[12:26] Lumina
    On top of that, I heard you were
    beaten from morning till night
[12:30] Lumina
    and earned some nicknames as a result.
[12:32] Lumina
    Isn't that right, Luciel-kun?
[12:35] Lumina
    The masochistic healer.
[12:37] Lumina
    The zombie healer.
[12:38] Lumina
    The maso-zombie healer.
[12:41] Lumina
    With nicknames like that,
    can you really say you aren't odd?
[12:46] Luciel
    Please forgive me!
[12:52] Luciel
    Even after all that training yesterday,
    my skills still haven't increased.
[12:59] Luciel
    I thought they'd have gone up by now,
    but maybe this is normal.
[13:04] Luciel
    No! There's still more that I can do.
[13:06] Luciel
    Master taught me not to get
    distracted by the numbers.
SIGN    Effort & Dedication
[13:10] Luciel
    If doing nothing is bringing me down,
    then I've gotta put in more effort!
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh
SIGN    Swoosh

[13:13] Luciel
    All right! I'm off to explore
    and train on the sixteenth level!
[13:17] Luciel
    Let's go!
[13:20] Luciel
    Hey, that was quick!
[13:21] Luciel
    Dual-wielding is off limits!
[13:23] Luciel
    I'm going sword and shield,
    Master Brod style!
[13:30] Luciel
    And now I can equip weapons with just
     a thought. This magic sack sure is handy.
[13:35] Luciel
    All right, the magic stones...
[13:38] Luciel
    Any way you look at it,
    this has gotta be a trap.
[13:43] Luciel
    Well, my aura coat and area barrier are
    unbeatable, so let's see what the trap is.
[13:55] Luciel
    S-So this is a thing?
[13:57] Luciel
    Purification!
[14:01] Luciel
    Purification!
[14:06] Luciel
    As usual, my level remains stuck at 1.
[14:09] Luciel
    I feel pain when the undead get attacks in,
[14:12] Luciel
    but these guys must still be illusions
    that give no experience points.
[14:16] Luciel
    Even so, this fighting
    isn't totally pointless.
[14:20] Luciel
    I'll just think of it as training.
[14:22] Luciel
    With my delicious lunches
    and disgusting Substance X,
[14:26] Luciel
    I continued exploring the next day
    and the day after that.
SIGN    Twentieth Level
[14:33] Luciel
    I've got a really bad feeling about this...
[14:37] Luciel
    This has to be another boss room.
[14:41] Luciel
    You said it's called a main chamber?
[14:43] Luciel
    What's in the one on the twentieth level?
[14:45] Cattleya
    I don't know. I've never even
    gone inside the labyrinth.
[14:50] Cattleya
    But it might be another guild member
     who lost their life in the labyrinth.
[14:56] Luciel
    Oh, she looks really sad again.
[14:59] Luciel
    But it's gotta be an act.
[15:02] Luciel
    I mean, the undead in there
    are just illusions.
[15:06] Luciel
    For two days after that, I did runs
    of the boss room on the tenth level
[15:10] Luciel
    and kept battling the undead using
    Master's fighting style.
[15:14] Luciel
    And then...
[15:17] Luciel
    Yes?
[15:21] Elizabeth
    Good morning, Luciel-san. I came to get you.
[15:26] Luciel
    Elizabeth-san?
[15:32] Elizabeth
    Why must I tend to such a...
    such a slovenly individual?
[15:36] Elizabeth
    Today, we'll be thoroughly schooling you
    in dual-wielding technique,
[15:40] Elizabeth
    so you'd better be ready!
[15:42] Luciel
    Um, are you upset about something?
[15:45] Elizabeth
    You're imagining things!
[15:56] Luciel
    I had no idea we'd be using real swords.
[15:59] Luciel
    I'd better have high heal on tap.
[16:00] Ripnear
    Yah!
[16:06] Luciel
    Whoa.
[16:08] Lumina
    How was that?
[16:10] Luciel
    They were both very quick and attacked
    their opponent's weak spots with precision.
[16:15] Luciel
    It also seemed like they were
    thinking several steps ahead
[16:18] Luciel
    about how to move and respond.
[16:20] Ripnear
    Boo!
[16:22] Lumina
    And how about the dual-wielding?
[16:24] Luciel
    It leaves you more vulnerable
     than I expected.
[16:28] Luciel
    When you attack continuously,
    it limits your movements.
[16:31] Luciel
    But even so, you can't stop attacking.
[16:34] Luciel
    I guess I shouldn't have considered it
    something to try for fun after all.
[16:39] Lumina
    You're up next, Luciel-kun.
[16:41] Luciel
    All right.
[16:44] Luciel
    Barrier.
SIGN    Ripnear
[16:51] Luciel
    I th-think I can hold her off.
[16:53] Luciel
    Maybe this will work.
[16:56] Luciel
    Now!
[17:03] Luciel
    Oh...
[17:05] Luciel
    The sky.
SIGN    Ripnear
[17:08] Lumina
    Good. Next!
SIGN    Elizabeth
[17:13] Luciel
    Heal!
[17:14] Luciel
    Hmph!
[17:15] Luciel
    Whoa!
[17:18] Luciel
    I can use my size advantage!
[17:21] Luciel
    Huh?
[17:25] Luciel
    Ow, ow, ow...
[17:26] Luciel
    Wha—
[17:28] Elizabeth
    That was a dirty move.
SIGN    Elizabeth
[17:30] Luciel
    I-I surrender...
[17:33] Luciel
    By the way, Elizabeth-san,
    did you disappear?
[17:36] Elizabeth
    I have double affinity with fire and water.
[17:39] Luciel
    Huh?!
[17:41] Elizabeth
    I used both my magical
    affinities to create an illusion.
[17:44] Elizabeth
    Then I left some space, put it in front
    of me, and waited for an opening.
[17:51] Luciel
    You can do that?
[17:53] Luciel
    Everyone's a lot more
    experienced than I expected.
[17:56] Luciel
    Their skills are really refined.
[17:58] Luciel
    That was very educational.
[18:00] Elizabeth
    Of course it was!
[18:03] ---
    Several Days Later Twentieth Level Again
[18:07] Luciel
    After that, under Lumina-sama's guidance,
[18:09] Luciel
    I steadily absorbed my training
    lessons with the paladin regiment.
[18:27] Luciel
    The special paladin training was well worth it,
[18:30] Luciel
    because it helped me clear the boss
    room on the twentieth level.
[18:34] Fluna
    Dear Luciel, I appreciate your efforts.
[18:37] Fluna
    The items left behind by the wight
    you defeated this time
[18:41] Fluna
    also once belonged to a high priest.
[18:45] Fluna
    Together with the wight from level ten,
[18:47] Fluna
    he entered the labyrinth over
    a decade ago and lost his way.
[18:51] Luciel
    Does that mean he passed away
    in the labyrinth, became undead,
[18:55] Luciel
    and then turned on church headquarters?
[18:58] Cattleya
    Luciel-kun!
[18:59] Cattleya
    Some things you just shouldn't say!
[19:02] Fluna
    To be accurate, he turned on
    the Republic of St. Shurule,
[19:06] Fluna
    church headquarters,
    and the healers' guild.
[19:08] Fluna
    All of them, in truth.
[19:12] Fluna
    It's already been half a century
    since the underground became a labyrinth.
[19:16] Fluna
    We don't know what caused the transformation.
[19:20] Fluna
    Back then, it was a most lively place.
[19:25] Fluna
    Many templars and paladins devoted
    themselves to their studies.
[19:30] Luciel
    Huh? Wait a second.
[19:32] Luciel
    The pope was alive half a century ago?
[19:36] Luciel
    But she sounds so young...
[19:39] Fluna
    After the labyrinth manifested,
    many endeavored to seal it off.
[19:46] Fluna
    Thanks to that, we manage to prevent
    monsters from spilling out even now.
[19:52] Luciel
    Can the labyrinth be defeated?
[19:55] Fluna
    It can.
[19:57] Fluna
    I understand that,
    by conquering the labyrinth,
[19:59] Fluna
    it is possible to destroy
    its miasma-emitting core.
[20:04] Fluna
    It is said that will cause
    the filth to dissipate,
[20:07] Fluna
    and the labyrinth itself
    will eventually disappear.
[20:10] Fluna
    However, to this day, no one
    has yet accomplished that.
[20:14] Fluna
    On one occasion, an elite group
    of templars and paladins
[20:19] Fluna
    embarked to scour
    the labyrinth at a rapid pace.
[20:23] Luciel
    If they were at Lumina-sama's level,
    they should've blasted through it.
[20:28] Luciel
    But they still hit a dead end?
[20:30] Luciel
    Just what is the labyrinth?
[20:34] Fluna
    The miasma and foul odor of the place
    gradually slowed their progress.
[20:40] Luciel
    Sorry?
[20:42] Luciel
    So, basically, just because it stunk?
[20:47] Fluna
    And yet they pressed on
    for the sake of the Church.
[20:51] Fluna
    They were plagued
    by impracticable strategies.
[20:53] Fluna
    Many lives were sacrificed as a result.
[20:57] Fluna
    And in the end, the entrance was sealed
    so that no monsters could escape.
[21:04] Luciel
    Is that why you're using
    healers as exorcists now?
[21:08] Fluna
    For decades now, fewer and fewer people
    have been born into templar and paladin jobs.
[21:15] Fluna
    To tell the truth, we lack
    the manpower for the labyrinth.
[21:19] Luciel
    Is that why you send healers with
    purification spells to cull the undead?
[21:24] Fluna
    Correct. To prevent zombies
    from escaping the labyrinth.
[21:29] Fluna
    That is our highest priority right now.
[21:33] Fluna
    Dear Luciel, may I ask you to
    continue exploring the labyrinth?
[21:38] Luciel
    Yes, if I can go bit by bit.
[21:41] Fluna
    Then is there anything else you desire?
    Anything you require for your quest?
[21:46] Luciel
    Ooh, a reward?
[21:49] Luciel
    Anti-undead weapons and armor.
[21:51] Luciel
    I may need such equipment to protect my life.
[21:55] Fluna
    Very well. I shall have select items
     prepared for you.
[21:59] Fluna
    Ah, yes, and when you reach the healer
    rank of 7, I can give you a promotion.
[22:05] Fluna
    Come and speak with me then.
[22:06] Luciel
    A promotion?
[22:07] Fluna
    Good work today. I will leave the items
    for your quest with Cattleya.
[22:14] Luciel
    Your Holiness! Thank you very much.
[22:18] Luciel
    A promotion and a reward?
    I'll give this all I got!
[22:23] Luciel
    Let's go!
[23:55] Lumina
    Luciel-kun, you really are a dunce.
[23:58] Lumina
    Sorry for saying that! I just love
    the way you react, so I can't help myself.
[24:03] Lumina
    Next time: "The Secret of Substance X."
SIGN    #10 The Secret of Substance X
[24:06] Lumina
    You might actually have a talent
    for turning people into sadists.
