**[00:07] Shin**
* Well, at least it's*
* not using its claws anymore.*
**[00:11] Shin**
* But man, I sure wasn't expecting*
* that many Skullfaces.*
**[00:16] Shin**
*I'd better report to the guild.*
**[00:19] Shin**
I guess I won't tell them about
the Elementail for now.
**[00:23] Shin**
I've got a question for you.
**[00:25] Shin**
Want to form a contract with me?
**[00:29] Shin**
It's called taming.
**[00:31] Shin**
A tamer and monster form a partnership.
**[00:33] Shin**
It'll keep your level and species hidden,
and we can stick together all the time.
**[00:40] Shin**
Okay, okay.
**[00:43] Shin**
Welp, here goes.
**[00:50] Shin**
It is my desire to walk with you.
**[01:03] Shin**
Here's to working together!
**[01:07] Shin**
Now that we've formed a contract,
there's something we should do.
**[01:11] Shin**
You need a name.
**[01:15] Shin**
C-Calm down. You're shaking my head.
**[01:20] Shin**
Anyway, what do you think of the name Yuzuha?
**[01:28] Shin**
Sounds like you like it.
**[01:31] Sign**
You have a new message
**[01:32] Shin**
Must be from Tiera.
**[01:34] Sign**
Dear Shin,
I was able to send a message to my master. I don't know if she has
any message cards, but I'll let you know if I hear back from her.
P.S. Is it possible to attach items to cards and send them??
**[01:35] Shin**
"Dear Shin, I was able to send
a message to my master."
**[01:41] Shin**
I hadn't really considered that Tiera
might actually reach her.
**[01:46] Shin**
"Say hello to Schnee for me."
**[01:50] Shin**
Okay, let's head to the guild.
**[03:25] Shin**
Excuse me. I have something to report.
**[03:30] Both**
Go ahead.
**[03:32] Shin**
Um, who should I speak to?
**[03:34] Celica**
I'll handle—
**[03:35] Cilia**
I'll take your report.
**[03:37] Celica**
Cilica.
**[03:38] Cilica**
What?
**[03:40] Celica**
Shin is standing in front of me.
I'll take his report.
**[03:44] Cilica**
What? Why can't I take it?
**[03:46] Celica**
You just can't. I'll do it.
**[03:48] Cilica**
That's not like you.
**[03:50] Celica**
Excuse me?
**[03:51] Cilica**
Fine, fine. I'll be quiet.
**[03:55] Shin**
Uh, can I make my report now?
**[03:57] Celica**
Yes. I'm sorry for the trouble.
**[04:00] Celica**
Go right ahead.
**[04:03] Shin**
I'm glad I got to report in.
**[04:06] Shin**
While we're here, let's check out other jobs.
**[04:13] Shin**
A skill successor?
**[04:13] Sign**
Looking for Skill Successor
If interested, please come to the orphanage next to the church in the west ward
**[04:15] Shin**
Is that a term for a skill holder?
**[04:17] Shin**
* It's an unranked job.*
* Must be something special to it.*
**[04:21] Shin**
*It's from the church orphanage.*
**[04:24] Millie**
*Please save the fox.*
**[04:27] Shin**
*I'm curious about that power, too.*
**[04:30] Sign**
Looking for Skill Successor
If interested, please come to the orphanage next to the church in the west ward
**[04:30] Shin**
*I'm on my way to see Millie anyway.*
**[04:39] Tria**
May I help you?
**[04:42] Shin**
Oh, pardon me. I've never been
to a place like this before.
**[04:46] Shin**
I'm here because I have
business with the orphanage.
**[04:48] Tria**
Did you see my job request?
**[04:51] Shin**
I thought I'd at least see what it's about.
**[04:53] Shin**
Also, is there a beast girl named Millie here?
**[04:57] Tria**
What of her?
**[04:59] Shin**
She asked me to do something for her.
**[05:03] Tria**
This way.
**[05:07] Millie**
It's Shin!
**[05:09] Shin**
Millie!
**[05:11] Millie**
Shin!
**[05:15] Tria**
It would seem you're not a bad person.
**[05:18] Shin**
Is that how you saw me?
**[05:21] Tria**
Forgive me. It's been a while since Millie
took such a liking to someone.
**[05:26] Shin**
I'm Shin, an adventurer.
**[05:29] Tria**
My name is Tria. I'm a nun at this church.
**[05:33] Shin**
Can I ask Millie about
what I mentioned earlier?
**[05:36] Tria**
Yes.
**[05:37] Shin**
Say, Millie, is this the fox
you were talking about yesterday?
**[05:42] Millie**
Yeah, it is! Thanks!
**[05:44] Shin**
You're welcome.
**[05:46] Shin**
Yuzuha, say thank you.
**[05:48] Shin**
I was able to rescue you because of Millie.
**[05:57] Shin**
Now, could you tell me
more about your request?
**[06:02] Tria**
Yes. If you came after seeing it,
then you must have a skill.
**[06:08] Shin**
Well, yeah.
**[06:10] Shin**
* Skill holders were common in the game,*
* but I guess they're a lot more rare now.*
**[06:15] Tria**
In truth, I'm looking for someone
who inherited a certain skill
**[06:19] Tria**
so they can teach it to me.
**[06:22] Shin**
Given your profession,
is it something like Heal or Cure?
**[06:26] Tria**
No, actually. There are
other circumstances at play.
**[06:30] Tria**
I... need Purify.
**[06:33] Shin**
Oh, Purify?
**[06:35] Tria**
I know I'm asking for a lot.
**[06:38] Shin**
Yeah, that's a really tough one.
**[06:40] Tria**
I'm sure it is.
**[06:42] Tria**
Wait, what did you just say?
**[06:44] Shin**
Er, I said it's a tough ask.
**[06:49] Tria**
Do you perchance know how
to teach it to someone?
**[06:52] Shin**
Yeah, I do.
**[06:54] Tria**
S-So you can fulfill the job?
**[06:58] Shin**
That depends on you.
**[07:01] Tria**
Regarding the reward...
**[07:03] Shin**
I don't need any monetary compensation.
**[07:06] Shin**
Instead, I'd like to know
about Millie's power.
**[07:10] Shin**
I'd also like you to share whatever
information the church acquires.
**[07:16] Shin**
*Of course she's at a loss.*
**[07:18] Shin**
*I'm a stranger who showed up out of nowhere.*
**[07:21] Shin**
* There's so much I don't know*
* about this world.*
**[07:24] Shin**
* I'd love to have the church*
* as an intel resource,*
**[07:28] Shin**
*but what should I do?*
**[07:30] Millie**
He's okay.
**[07:34] Millie**
Shin is okay.
**[07:38] Tria**
Millie.
**[07:41] Tria**
Very well. I accept your terms.
**[07:44] Tria**
But we're not experts.
**[07:47] Tria**
I'm not sure we'll be able to
gather information for you.
**[07:51] Shin**
I just need to know if anyone comes
to the church saying anything of interest.
**[07:56] Shin**
The nature of Millie's power is the more
important part to me anyway.
**[08:01] Tria**
Millie possesses the title "Star Composer."
**[08:05] Shin**
Star Composer?
**[08:07] Tria**
She sometimes has unexpected visions.
**[08:11] Tria**
And they've never been wrong before.
**[08:15] Shin**
So she can predict the future.
**[08:16] Tria**
Yes. Perhaps she asked you for a favor
because she saw something.
**[08:22] Shin**
If people found out about Millie's power,
**[08:25] Shin**
there are those who would use it
for nefarious purposes.
**[08:29] Tria**
I've warned my associates
to be wary of who they mention it to.
**[08:33] Tria**
There's an adventurer from here
who provides us with assistance.
**[08:36] Shin**
You mean Wilhelm?
**[08:38] Tria**
Yes.
**[08:39] Tria**
Most people leave our children alone
for fear of him.
**[08:44] Shin**
In that case, I'd formally
like to accept the job.
**[08:47] Shin**
Tria, are you the one
who will be learning Purify?
**[08:50] Tria**
No, I was thinking of asking
another of our sisters to learn it.
**[08:54] Shin**
I figured it would be you...
**[08:56] Tria**
Our former priest has a granddaughter.
**[08:59] Tria**
Things would go more smoothly
if she were to inherit the church.
**[09:05] Shin**
*Sounds like a sticky situation.*
**[09:09] Children**
It's a fox!
**[09:11] Child 1**
I wanna hold it!
**[09:12] Child 2**
Me first!
**[09:13] Child 3**
No, me.
**[09:13] Child 4**
Me too!
**[09:19] Shin**
*All alone...*
**[09:19] Sign**
All alone
**[09:23] Sign**
All alone
**[09:24] Millie**
Hang in there.
**[09:26] Shin**
*Why do I feel so defeated?*
**[09:28] Shin**
Well, I can't expect them to take
a shine to a total stranger.
**[09:33] Shin**
Millie, don't you want to see Yuzuha too?
**[09:36] Millie**
I'd lose.
**[09:37] Shin**
You'd... lose?
**[09:39] Millie**
Yeah.
**[09:40] Shin**
* She's right. Millie's a bit small*
* to force her way in there.*
**[09:52] Millie**
Come here, Yu.
**[09:56] Millie**
Now I've got you all to myself.
**[09:59] Shin**
Don't tell me you're a little schemer!
**[10:01] Millie**
Easy win.
**[10:03] Shin**
That's exactly what it sounds like!
**[10:15] Qua**
Are you the one who's going to save us?
**[10:18] Shin**
*"Us"? Not the nun?*
**[10:22] Shin**
What do you mean?
**[10:23] Qua**
The nun said they might
get rid of this place.
**[10:27] Shin**
They're getting rid of the church?
**[10:29] Qua**
No, just the orphanage.
**[10:32] Shin**
Will you tell me more about that?
**[10:35] Qua**
This church doesn't have a priest right now,
**[10:39] Qua**
so a new one has to take over.
**[10:42] Shin**
Can't Tria do that?
**[10:45] Qua**
It has to be someone
who can use a special skill.
**[10:49] Shin**
*So that's why she needs Purify.*
**[10:52] Qua**
The new priest wants
to get rid of the orphanage.
**[10:56] Qua**
But the nun says the old priest's
granddaughter, Lacia,
**[10:59] Qua**
might have a superior claim to the church.
**[11:02] Tria**
*Our former priest has a granddaughter.*
**[11:06] Shin**
* So that's why she wants*
* another nun to learn the skill.*
**[11:11] Shin**
But why would a priest of this church
want to do away with the orphanage?
**[11:17] Qua**
We don't like him.
**[11:21] Shin**
What's he like?
**[11:24] Qua**
He's a pig who only cares about money.
**[11:26] Shin**
Yeah, okay. That tells me
everything I need to know.
**[11:30] Millie**
It's okay.
**[11:32] Millie**
Shin will save us.
**[11:35] Qua**
If you say so, Millie, maybe we'll be okay.
**[11:38] Shin**
Does Millie tend to be right?
**[11:40] Qua**
Yeah. She always knows which shops have
good deals and where the snacks are hidden.
**[11:46] Shin**
Not exactly what I meant, but okay.
**[11:50] Shin**
* Sounds like Millie's careful*
* about who she shares things with.*
**[11:54] Millie**
Is that weird?
**[11:55] Shin**
No, it's not weird. If anything, it's good.
**[11:59] Shin**
As long as you're not straining yourself.
**[12:01] Millie**
I like head pats.
**[12:08] Tria**
Thank you for waiting, Shin.
**[12:21] Tria**
Say hello, Lacia.
**[12:23] Lacia**
R-Right. I'm Sister Lacia.
**[12:27] Lacia**
Thank you for helping ush— I mean, us.
**[12:31] Shin**
Um...
**[12:32] Shin**
Are you all right?
**[12:33] Tria**
She can be a bit careless,
but I promise she's hardworking.
**[12:38] Shin**
I'm Shin. I'm going to teach you
how to use the Purify skill.
**[12:43] Shin**
Just remember that whether or not
you can learn it depends on you.
**[12:48] Lacia**
Okay!
**[12:49] Shin**
First, I have a question.
**[12:52] Shin**
Do you know where large numbers
of high-level undead appear?
**[12:56] Tria**
The Ghost Plains are rather famous.
**[12:59] Shin**
The Ghost Plains?
**[13:02] Wilhelm**
So you're the adventurer who took the job.
**[13:06] Tria**
Oh, Wil, you're back?
**[13:09] Shin**
Hey. I'm just stopping by.
**[13:10] Millie**
Wil.
**[13:12] Wilhelm**
What are you after? What did they tell you?
**[13:15] Shin**
About Millie and the adventurer
from the orphanage
**[13:19] Shin**
who helps them keep her secret.
**[13:23] Wilhelm**
You shouldn't be so trusting.
**[13:26] Tria**
He doesn't seem like a bad person.
**[13:28] Tria**
Besides, Millie said it would be okay.
**[13:33] Wilhelm**
Did you see something?
**[13:35] Millie**
Yeah.
**[13:37] Wilhelm**
I see.
**[13:38] Shin**
Is that all?
**[13:41] Wilhelm**
If Millie says so, then I trust you.
**[13:44] Shin**
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone
or do anything underhanded.
**[13:48] Wilhelm**
You'd better not.
**[13:50] Wilhelm**
If you do, I'll use this to kill you.
**[13:54] Millie**
No fighting. You're so fussy, Wil!
**[13:58] Tria**
I'm sorry. He's always been short-tempered.
**[14:02] Lacia**
Wil is impatient.
**[14:04] Wilhelm**
Hey.
**[14:06] Shin**
That's a harsh review.
**[14:08] Wilhelm**
Whatever. Tell us about Purify.
**[14:12] Shin**
Don't tell anyone else.
**[14:13] Wilhelm**
Wouldn't dream of it.
**[14:17] Shin**
To acquire Purify, you must
defeat 200 undead over level 150
**[14:22] Shin**
while holding an item called
a holy prayer orb.
**[14:26] Shin**
Landing the finishing blow counts as a kill,
**[14:29] Shin**
so I'll weaken the monsters
and Lacia can polish them off.
**[14:33] Wilhelm**
Wait, are you serious?
**[14:35] Shin**
Yes. Acquiring a holy prayer orb
is actually pretty difficult,
**[14:40] Shin**
but I already have one, so we're good.
**[14:43] Tria**
You're saying such remarkable
things so casually...
**[14:47] Wilhelm**
Lacia, are you gonna be okay?
**[14:51] Wilhelm**
Hey!
**[14:51] Lacia**
Yes!
**[14:54] Wilhelm**
Shin, I'm coming with you.
**[14:56] Shin**
Sure. You're welcome to.
**[14:58] Tria**
Lacia, good luck.
**[15:01] Lacia**
I-I'll do my best.
**[15:03] Tria**
I'm counting on you.
**[15:05] Lacia**
Of course.
**[15:09] Wilhelm**
*There's too much I don't know about him.*
**[15:12] Wilhelm**
* Millie likes him, so at the very least,*
* he's probably not dangerous.*
**[15:17] Wilhelm**
*But I don't buy that some no-name novice*
**[15:20] Wilhelm**
* can take on loads of monsters*
* over level 150, all while carrying Lacia.*
**[15:26] Wilhelm**
*The only conceivable explanation is...*
**[15:30] Shin**
We leave tomorrow morning.
**[15:32] Shin**
When we get home, let's eat and retire early.
**[15:38] Shin**
Wilhelm?
**[15:41] Wilhelm**
Come with me.
**[15:44] Wilhelm**
I want to confirm something.
**[15:46] Wilhelm**
Are you a chosen one?
**[15:49] Shin**
A chosen one?
**[15:51] Wilhelm**
You don't know what those are?
**[15:52] Shin**
Not a clue.
**[15:54] Wilhelm**
Chosen ones are people born with skills,
titles, and knowledge they shouldn't have.
**[16:01] Shin**
Does that include memories of previous lives?
**[16:05] Wilhelm**
No, mostly information
about items and monsters.
**[16:09] Wilhelm**
I've never heard of anyone
remembering a past life.
**[16:14] Shin**
I see.
**[16:15] Shin**
* People starting off*
* with multiple skills and titles?*
**[16:19] Shin**
* Does that mean the reincarnation*
* system still works?*
**[16:22] Wilhelm**
Sound familiar to you?
**[16:23] Shin**
Not exactly...
**[16:26] Shin**
*I've reincarnated within the game before,*
**[16:29] Shin**
* but I wasn't reborn*
* in this world as an infant.*
**[16:32] Shin**
*High humans are apparently extinct, too.*
**[16:35] Wilhelm**
No matter. I won't make you
tell me everything.
**[16:40] Shin**
I appreciate it.
**[16:41] Wilhelm**
By the way, most people have
never heard of chosen ones.
**[16:45] Wilhelm**
Careful who you mention that to.
**[16:49] Shin**
You're surprisingly caring, Wilhelm.
**[16:52] Shin**
Are you sure people are afraid of you?
**[16:54] Wilhelm**
I can't help what others think of me.
**[16:58] Shin**
You're a hero who protects an orphanage.
**[17:02] Wilhelm**
The kids are crying because some greedy
pig won't stop messing with them.
**[17:07] Wilhelm**
The sound grates on my ears.
**[17:09] Shin**
So you're stopping this guy
to shut them up, huh?
**[17:12] Wilhelm**
That's right.
**[17:15] Shin**
* Crap! I always had a feeling,*
* but he's seriously a nice guy!*
**[17:19] Wilhelm**
What?
**[17:20] Shin**
Uh...
**[17:21] Shin**
Nothing. It's nothing.
**[17:24] Shin**
Sorry. One second.
**[17:25] Wilhelm**
Huh?
**[17:26] Sign**
You have a new message
**[17:28] Tiera**
* Dear Shin, I received a response*
* from my master.*
**[17:31] Tiera**
* She'll return as soon as*
* she's finished with work.*
**[17:34] Tiera**
* Please keep us informed*
* if you leave Bayrelicht.*
**[17:38] Tiera**
* P.S. I'm scared of how many questions*
* my master asked about you.*
**[17:38] Sign**
P.S. I'm scared of how many questions my master asked about you.
What did you do to her??
**[17:42] Tiera**
*What did you do to her?*
**[17:44] Shin**
* How many questions*
* is a scary number of questions?*
**[17:48] Sign**
Important
**[17:48] Sign**
Important
**[17:48] Shin**
*Why is it flashing?*

**[17:52] Wilhelm**
That's a letter of introduction
from the Moon Sanctum.
**[17:55] Shin**
You know what this is?
**[18:03] Shin**
I wouldn't have thought you had one, too.
**[18:07] Wilhelm**
Right back at you.
**[18:13] Shin**
So these are the Ghost Plains, huh?
**[18:17] Shin**
Lacia.
**[18:17] Lacia**
Y-Yes?!
**[18:19] Shin**
Here's the holy prayer orb.
**[18:21] Shin**
You've gotta make sure you're holding it.
**[18:23] Lacia**
Oh, shank— I mean, thank you.
**[18:38] Shin**
They're already here.
**[18:41] Wilhelm**
Lacia, give it all you've got.
**[18:45] Lacia**
Okay.
**[18:49] Shin**
Single Ablution!
**[18:54] Shin**
Attack the Biohounds.
**[18:55] Lacia**
G-Got it!
**[18:57] Lacia**
Heal!
**[19:05] Shin**
* Good. Healing magic works*
* just like it does in the game.*
**[19:08] Wilhelm**
The next group is coming!
**[19:14] Shin**
Break their limbs
so they can't counterattack.
**[19:16] Shin**
Don't tell me you can't pull that off.
**[19:18] Wilhelm**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[19:20] Wilhelm**
Flashing Blossom!
**[19:24] Shin**
Not bad.
**[19:37] Shin**
What's this blue wall?
**[19:38] Wilhelm**
It's a seal created by the guild.
**[19:42] Wilhelm**
The undead beyond this point
are on another level.
**[19:45] Wilhelm**
Prepare yourselves.
**[19:46] Lacia**
O-Okay.
**[19:56] Shin**
Rapt Raptors and Jumpkins.
**[19:59] Wilhelm**
Looks like five in all.
**[20:02] Shin**
Wilhelm, you take the front.
**[20:04] Shin**
I'll stop the ones to our left.
**[20:06] Wilhelm**
Makes sense.
**[20:09] Shin**
There are no other enemies nearby.
**[20:10] Shin**
Yuzuha, you handle things here.
**[20:17] Lacia**
Heal!
**[20:23] Shin**
Good work. You've gained a lot of levels.
**[20:26] Lacia**
I know! I've leveled up so much it's scary!
**[20:31] Shin**
It's because these monsters
outlevel you so much.
**[20:33] Shin**
You'll advance rapidly.
**[20:35] Shin**
By the time you learn Purify,
you should be about level 150.
**[20:38] Wilhelm**
I'm back.
**[20:40] Lacia**
Welcome back, Wil.
**[20:42] Wilhelm**
Here.

**[20:45] Lacia**
No!
**[21:00] Rionne**
* I heard unusually high-level Skullface Jacks*
* had appeared in the Ghost Plains,*
**[21:05] Rionne**
*so I came to defeat them,*
**[21:07] Rionne**
*but these are exceptionally strong.*
**[21:10] Rionne**
* Without this sword that came flying*
* into my room that day,*
**[21:13] Rionne**
*this battle would have been tough.*
**[21:15] Gadras**
I'm worried about the other group.
**[21:17] Rionne**
So am I.
**[21:18] Schnee**
Allow me to handle it.
**[21:21] Rionne**
Are you sure?
**[21:22] Schnee**
Yes.
**[21:24] Knight 2**
Go around! Aim for the core!
**[21:26] Knight 3**
Its attacks are too powerful!
**[21:28] Knight 2**
Anyone with strength left, lend us your aid!
**[21:30] Knight 3**
Damn! What's wrong with this thing?
**[21:32] Berg**
We won't last like this...
**[21:33] Berg**
If we lose any more men,
we won't be able to stop it.
**[22:02] Berg**
Schnee!
