[00:01] RUD
    Nothing about it in today's paper, either.
[00:06] RUD/ID
    That monster with two magic stones...
[00:09] RUD/ID
    I wonder what that was about.
[00:12] MANICIA
    Good morning, dear brother.
[00:15] RUD
    Good morning, Manicia—
[00:17] RUD
    Huh?
[00:19] MANICIA
    Could you read the paper to me?
[00:22] RUD
    B-But you're good at reading and writing.
[00:27] MANICIA
    Please read to me.
[00:29] RUD/ID
    When Manicia asks for special treatment...
[00:31] RUD/ID
    she's so cute!
[00:34] RUD
    Labyrinths have been
    popping up frequently lately.
[00:38] MANICIA
    I see.
[00:41] RUD
    A labyrinth in Avancia, huh?
[00:44] RUD/ID
    Come to think of it, the other day...
[00:47] (Flashback) VUILD
    If a labyrinth appeared nearby,
    it would really revitalize the area.
[00:55] RUD
    That article's about the
    royal capital's economy.
[00:58] RUD
    That one's about a new policy.
[01:00] RUD
    And that article is on...
[01:02] MANICIA
    "Ex-Hero Kyglas Raids New Labyrinth."
[01:06] MANICIA
    He was in your old party, wasn't he?
[01:09] RUD
    Yeah.
[01:10] MANICIA
    Ms. Nin says she doesn't like him
     because he makes fun of you.
[01:17] RUD
    Nin's got a lot of personal
    feelings on the matter.
[01:21] MANICIA
    I'm surprised.
[01:22] RUD
    What?
[01:23] MANICIA
    So you're aware of
    Ms. Nin's fondness for you.
[01:26] MANICIA
    Do you pretend not to notice
    because of my illness?
[01:35] RUD
    Maybe a little,
    but I'm the root of the problem.
[01:42] RUD
    I'm a weak person, you see.
[01:45] RUD
    When I get into that sort of relationship,
    I end up clinging to it.
[01:50] RUD
    It prevents me from raiding labyrinths.
[01:54] RUD
    I'm too clumsy.
[01:56] RUD
    I probably couldn't do both at the same time.
[02:01] MANICIA
    I think you'd be fine.
[02:05] MANICIA
    So...
[02:07] MANICIA
    Even if you find someone special
    and find happiness with them,
[02:12] MANICIA
    please don't stop caring for me, okay?
[02:17] RUD
    Yeah.
[02:19] RUD
    Of course.

    A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
    Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
[03:54] FILLE
    O-Okay, everyone.
[03:56] FILLE
    We've called you all here today
[03:58] FILLE
    to take down the chameleon kong
     that was spotted here recently.
[04:04] FILLE
    Chameleon kongs are monsters that
     inhabit an area far to the south.
[04:08] FILLE
    It's hard to believe one made it
    all the way to Avancia without being seen.
[04:13] FILLE
    Therefore, we must investigate the reason
    for its appearance in addition to subduing it.
[04:18] FILLE
    Thank you for assisting us with this.
[04:23] FILLE
    Furthermore, it's likely the
    chameleon kong came from a labyrinth.
[04:29] FILLE
    So if you find an entrance,
    let us know right away.
[04:33] NIN
    Huh? What's that?
[04:36] RUD
    Oh, this?
[04:37] RUD
    I had it made by a skilled
    father-daughter blacksmithing duo.
[04:41] (Flashback) MILENA
    Rud, here's your new sword.
[04:43] (Flashback) RAISIL
    I polished up your shield, too.
[04:46] RUD
    The sword is an impressive product on
    its own, but it has the Enchant skill, too.
[04:51] NIN
    Wow.
[04:52] LUNA
    What's Enchant?
[04:54] RUD
    Different elements can be used to change the
     magic stone's mana and enchant the weapon.
[05:00] RUD
    It's probably best if I just show you.
[05:02] RUD
    I can use magic of all elements,
    but not well enough to be useful for attacks.
[05:07] RUD
    But if I channel it into this stone...
[05:12] RUD
    I can turn it into a fire-type sword.
[05:15] SIGN
    FWOOSH
[05:15] SIGN
    SKREE!
[05:15] RUD
    In other words, it can be used
    to target a monster's weakness.
[05:18] SIGN
    SPLASH
[05:18] SIGN
    BURN
[05:20] LUNA
    I see.
[05:24] CINANIS
    You're F-rank, aren't you?
[05:26] CINANIS
    That treasure is wasted on you.
[05:28] ADVENTURER F
    Hey, don't.
[05:30] RUD
    You're C-rank, right?
[05:32] CINANIS
    Yeah. There's no point in an
    F-rank wielding a good sword.
[05:37] CINANIS
    Why don't you just head home now, old man?
[05:41] LUNA
    H-How dare that adventurer!
[05:43] LUNA
    Master, aren't you going to say something?
[05:45] RUD
    Calm down, Luna.
[05:47] RUD
    I'd rather be underestimated
    than overestimated.
[05:52] LUNA
    Well, maybe...
[05:54] LUNA
    But I don't like seeing you being mocked.
[05:58] NIN
    See? People underrate you
    because you won't update your rank.
[06:02] NIN
    You're actually strong enough for a
    saint like me to name you a knight.
[06:08] ALL
    What?
[06:09] ADVENTURER F
    Is that true, Lady Saint?
[06:10] NIN
    Yeah. He turned down my offer, though.
[06:12] CINANIS
    But why?
[06:14] RUD
    If you raise your rank too much,
    the guild will start summoning you.
[06:19] RUD/ID
    Besides, I became an adventurer
    to cure Manicia's illness.
[06:30] RUD
    It's the chameleon kong! Above us!
[06:37] ALL
    What?
[06:49] NIN
    She's not bad.
[06:50] RUD
    Yeah. Fille's better than
    your average adventurer.
[06:55] RUD
    Provoke.
[07:11] RUD/ID
    Each attack is heavy, but...
[07:17] RUD/ID
    They're managing to attack it
    without anyone getting hit.
[07:21] FILLE
    Keep attacking, everyone!
[07:23] ALL
    Yeah!
[07:24] RUD/ID
    But why do I feel like something's off?
[07:27] RUD/ID
    Its large swings,
    its attention-grabbing roars...
[07:30] RUD/ID
    If it were human, its actions
    would make it seem like a tank.
[07:40] GUARD A
    What? There's more of them?
[07:42] GUARD B
    No one said there'd be more!
[07:44] RUD
    Get back, everyone!
[07:48] GUARD B
    A diversion? But they're just dumb monsters!
[07:53] FILLE/ID
    We're surrounded.
[07:55] FILLE/ID
    What should we do?
[07:58] FILLE/ID
    I can't handle this.
[08:00] RUD
    Fille!
[08:01] RUD
    As leader, your attitude
    will spread to the others.
[08:05] FILLE
    Leader?
[08:07] RUD
    That's right. You're our leader, aren't you?
[08:10] FILLE
    Yeah.
[08:12] RUD
    I know you'll find a way through this.
[08:14] FILLE
    Yeah.
[08:15] FILLE
    Let's reorganize!
[08:18] RUD
    Provoke.
[08:21] FILLE
    Get in formation now.
[08:23] CINANIS
    Hey! Taking on all three is too dangerous!
[08:30] RUD
    Don't go thinking that's enough to beat me.
[08:36] LUNA
    I'll make you regret attacking my master!
[08:40] LUNA
    Wind Shot!
[08:44] RUD
    Finish that one off!
[08:46] CINANIS
    Gotcha! Let's do this!
[08:52] RUD
    They should be able to handle that one.
[08:54] RUD
    Now, what's next?
[08:58] RUD
    If I recall correctly,
    chameleon kongs are weak to fire.
[09:01] RUD
    Enchant: Fire.
[09:10] RUD
    That was super effective.
[09:12] RUD
    The rest is up to you.
[09:13] FILLE
    Got it.
[09:18] FILLE
    The guards will finish this one off.
[09:20] ALL
    Yeah!
[09:36] RUD
    Luna!
[09:37] LUNA
    Got it!
[09:38] LUNA
    Wind Shot!
[09:44] NIN
    You're not getting away.
[09:52] RUD
    This ends now!
[10:07] RUD
    How are the others doing?
[10:08] GUARD A
    We took down a chameleon kong!
[10:11] GUARD B
    Nah, we wouldn't have been
    able to do anything without Rud.
[10:16] GUARD A
    You're right.
[10:21] CINANIS
    We beat ours, too.
[10:23] RUD
    Great.
[10:25] CINANIS
    You must be a monster
    if that situation didn't scare you.
[10:28] RUD
    As a tank, I couldn't back down.
[10:32] CINANIS
    I see.
[10:34] CINANIS
    Listen, I'm sorry for making fun of you.
[10:38] RUD
    It's fine. Rank is an indicator
    of an adventurer's skills.
[10:43] RUD
    If someone's rank is low,
    it's natural to wonder what's up.
[11:00] RUD
    They died just like monsters in a labyrinth?
[11:03] NIN
    Rud.
[11:05] NIN
    Look.
[11:10] RUD
    A labyrinth entrance?
[11:19] FILLE
    A-A labyrinth has appeared in Avancia.
[11:23] FILLE
    May this lead to the further
    development of the town. Cheers!
[11:28] ALL
    Cheers!
[11:29] RAISIL
    S'gonna get busy around here.
[11:31] MILENA
    Bring it on.
[11:31] VUILD
    Thanks for looking after my people.
[11:36] LUNA
    They're really celebrating tonight.
[11:38] MANICIA
    Indeed. The appearance of a labyrinth
    may stop the town's population decline.
[11:44] LUNA
    That's great news, master.
[11:46] RUD
    Yeah, I guess.
[11:48] GUARD B
    Hey, Manicia.
[11:51] GUARD B
    Wanna drink with me?
[11:54] RUD
    Do you have a death wish?
[11:56] RUD
    If you want to drink, I'll drink with you.
[11:58] GUARD B
    I'm sorry.
[11:58] NIN
    Looks like they're partying hard.
[12:00] LUNA
    Ms. Nin.
[12:02] NIN
    Are you having fun?
[12:03] LUNA
    Yes, very much so.
[12:05] LUNA
    Although my master doesn't look too happy.
[12:09] NIN
    Well, labyrinths aren't all good.
[12:13] NIN
    He's probably worried about that.
[12:14] LUNA
    They're not?
[12:16] NIN
    No. They come with all kinds of problems.
[12:19] NIN
    If the labyrinth's monsters aren't defeated,
[12:22] NIN
    they sometimes leave the labyrinth
    like those chameleon kongs did.
[12:26] NIN
    If that happens frequently, it becomes
    nothing but a threat to nearby residents.
[12:31] LUNA
    Then, shouldn't they find folk to exterminate
     the monsters like we did this time?
[12:36] NIN
    That comes with its own set of problems.
[12:40] NIN
    Anyone can become an adventurer.
[12:43] NIN
    In other words, even the worst kinds
    of people can become adventurers.
[12:46] ALL
    Fille!
[12:47] NIN
    It's not unusual for adventurers to follow
    around cute girls they see like stalkers.
[12:52] NIN
    Those kinds of adventurers
    might prey on you or Manicia.
[12:57] LUNA
    Then, how should adventurers be organized?
[13:01] RUD
    With clans.
[13:03] LUNA
    What are clans?
[13:04] SIGN
    Party
[13:04] SIGN
    Clan
[13:04] SIGN
    Party
[13:04] SIGN
    Party
[13:05] RUD
    Clans are organizations of multiple parties.
[13:09] SIGN
    Party
[13:09] RUD
    Adventurers who are part of clans
    are officially recognized by the nation,
[13:12] RUD
    and are responsible for
    defending towns, like knights.
[13:16] NIN
    Ultimately, even adventurers
    want stability, too.
[13:20] RUD
    Entire towns can fall
    into ruin without clans.
[13:25] RUD
    Avancia in particular has few
    combatants, so without a clan,
[13:30] RUD
    it's possible the adventurers that end up
    here will just do whatever they want.
[13:35] RUD/ID
    And if anything happened to Manicia...
[13:38] NIN
    Don't scowl so much.
[13:41] NIN
    I'll help you, okay?
[13:44] FILLE
    Rud!
[13:48] FILLE
    Ah, this is so soothing.
[13:51] RUD
    Q-Quit it, Fille. My absorb shield...
[13:52] FILLE
    Good boy.
[13:54] FILLE
    I'm gonna pet you.
[13:54] RUD
    I can't breathe.
[13:57] RUD
    Fille! You've had too much to drink!
[14:01] ADVENTURER G
    Hey! What are you looking at?
[14:04] ADVENTURER H
    You wanna go?
[14:06] RUD
    You two.
[14:08] RUD
    Are you fighting again?
[14:11] BOTH
    We're sorry!
[14:15] NIN
    Nice work patrolling the town.
[14:19] NIN
    It's been a week since
    the labyrinth appeared.
[14:21] NIN
    I never thought this many
    adventurers would show up.
[14:25] RUD
    Got that right.
[14:26] TOWNSFOLK A
    Mr. Rud.
[14:28] TOWNSFOLK A
    Thank you for your help the other day.
[14:30] TOWNSFOLK B
    Rud, if anything comes up,
    I hope we can count on you again.
[14:34] NIN
    I hear you've been
    fulfilling a lot of requests.
[14:37] RUD
    Just trying to control them won't work.
[14:41] TOWNSFOLK C
    Hey, there's a fight.
[14:42] TOWNSFOLK D
    This way.
[14:49] TOWNSFOLK C
    It's the Black Dragon Fang's
     number three, Boo,
[14:53] TOWNSFOLK C
    and the White Tiger Claw's
     number three, Gurly.
[14:56] TOWNSFOLK D
    Aren't they both A-rank adventurers?
    A fight between them won't end well.
[15:02] RUD
    Wait.
[15:04] RUD
    You're scaring the townsfolk.
[15:06] RUD
    Could I ask you to stop fighting?
[15:08] BOO
    Who are you?
[15:10] GURLY
    We're defending the honor of our clans here.
[15:13] GURLY
    Why don't you stay out of this?
[15:15] RUD
    So you won't stop, then?
[15:17] BOO
    In that case, why don't you
    settle something for us?
[15:20] BOO
    Which clan should be allowed into this town,
    the Black Dragon Fang or the White Tiger Claw?
[15:25] RUD
    We don't need either of you if you're going
     to cause trouble, so feel free to leave.
[15:30] BOO
    Oh?
[15:31] BOO HENCHMAN
    You! Show some respect
    when talking to Mr. Boo!
[15:38] NIN
    Stop wasting your time on this nonsense.
[15:41] NIN
    Unlike Rud, I won't go easy on you.
[15:45] RUD
    This town has its own rules.
[15:48] RUD
    If you must fight here,
    then I'll take you on.
[15:53] BOO
    We're sorry.
[15:55] GURLY
    We were wrong.
[15:57] GURLY
    Anyway, are you in a clan?
    You should join ours—
[16:00] BOO
    Butt out, Gurly. The Black Dragon Claw
     is a much better fit for him.
[16:03] BOO
    Black Dragon!
[16:04] GURLY
    White Tiger!
[16:05] BOO
    Black Dragon!
[16:06] GURLY
    White Tiger!
[16:08] RUD
    I won't be joining either.
[16:10] RUD
    Come on, that's enough now.
     Welcome to Avancia.
[16:15] RUD/ID
    They know when to back down.
[16:18] RUD/ID
    Clan adventurers are different
    from individual adventurers after all.
[16:22] RUD/ID
    But I doubt I'll be able
    to leave town for a while.
[16:27] NIN
    I didn't think those clans
    would try to recruit you.
[16:29] RUD
    Yeah.
[16:31] RUD/ID
    I once dreamed of joining a clan
[16:34] RUD/ID
    that operated like
    a family of adventurers.
[16:39] GUARD A
    Rud!
[16:40] GUARD A
    What happened with the clan feud?
[16:42] RUD
    It's settled.
[16:44] GUARD A
    Then, please stop by headquarters as soon
    as you can. Mr. Vuild is looking for you.
[16:48] RUD
    Mr. Vuild?
[16:51] VUILD
    The lord contacted me regarding the
     present situation in town.
[16:55] RUD
    The lord himself?
[16:57] VUILD
    I was told to choose between two options.
[17:02] VUILD
    The first is for you to create a
    clan and become its leader.
[17:09] RUD
    Me?
[17:11] RUD
    But this is so sudden.
[17:13] VUILD
    It's not, though.
[17:14] VUILD
    People have been singing
    your praises for a while now.
[17:18] VUILD
    They say you're a young
    and skilled adventurer.
[17:22] RUD
    I appreciate the compliments,
[17:25] RUD
    but I have to cure Manicia's illness.
[17:28] RUD
    I can't take on a position like that.
[17:30] VUILD
    I know, but it's also
    what the townsfolk want.
[17:35] VUILD
    Rather than bringing in an outsider,
[17:37] VUILD
    they want you to do it,
    even if you are inexperienced.
[17:42] RUD/ID
    I appreciate the sentiment.
[17:44] RUD/ID
    If Manicia's illness is cured someday,
    I'd like to live a quiet life here.
[17:50] RUD/ID
    I'd like to help the town, too, but...
[17:53] VUILD
    And the second option is...
[17:56] VUILD
    to destroy Avancia's labyrinth.
[17:59] RUD
    What? But that would hurt
     the town's development.
[18:02] VUILD
    Numerous labyrinths have
    appeared across the nation.
[18:06] VUILD
    They can't afford to manage all of them.
[18:09] VUILD
    That goes for Avancia's labyrinth, too.
[18:11] VUILD
    They can't leave improperly
    managed labyrinths open.
[18:16] VUILD
    So if you're unable to form a clan,
[18:19] VUILD
    he'd like you to join the party currently
    exploring the labyrinth and destroy it.
[18:26] VUILD
    I hate to do this,
    but I'd like you to choose.
[18:29] VUILD
    Either become a clan leader and
    manage the town and labyrinth,
[18:33] VUILD
    or destroy the labyrinth.
[18:35] VUILD
    Which will it be?
[18:44] (Flashback) VUILD
    You don't need to decide right away, but
     I'd appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
[18:50] DRUNK A
    Hey, thief!
[18:51] DRUNK A
    You were tryin' to steal my stuff!
[18:53] DRUNK B
    I'm not a thief!
[18:54] DRUNK B
    I just made a mistake!
[18:56] RUD
    Hey, cut it out.
[18:58] DRUNK A
    Shut up!
[18:58] DRUNK B
    You're just an adventurer! Stay out of this!
[19:02] RUD/ID
    Is forming a clan the only way
    to get the situation under control?
[19:07] LUNA
    I finally found you, master!
[19:10] LUNA
    Master, you must return to the house quickly.
[19:13] LUNA
    It's Ms. Manicia!
[19:19] RUD
    Grandma Gigi, how is Manicia?
[19:22] GIGI
    She's fine. She's just feeling a bit
     under the weather as usual.
[19:28] RUD
    I see.
[19:29] MANICIA
    You worry too much, brother.
[19:34] MANICIA
    More importantly, is the town all right?
[19:38] RUD
    Don't worry about that. You should rest.
[19:41] MANICIA
    All right.
[19:47] RUD/ID
    If I became a clan leader,
[19:49] RUD/ID
    I wouldn't be able to leave Avancia for long.
[19:53] RUD/ID
    I wouldn't be able to visit
    various labyrinths anymore.
[19:57] RUD/ID
    I don't know if I'll ever find the
    wish-granting Secret Treasure,
[20:01] RUD/ID
    but if I stay in this town,
    Manicia will never be cured.
[20:07] RUD
    Nin. Luna.
[20:10] RUD
    I'd like you to do something for me.
[20:17] RUD
    I'm going to destroy Avancia's labyrinth.
[20:21] RUD
    I'd like you to help me do it.
[20:24] NIN
    Are you sure?
[20:26] NIN
    That decision would deprive the town
    of an opportunity for development.
[20:31] RUD
    If I have to choose between
    Manicia and the town,
[20:35] RUD
    then I choose Manicia.
[20:41] LUNA
    Um, i-if I may...
[20:45] LUNA
    If you became a clan leader,
    would you have to stay in the town?
[20:53] RUD
    What?
[20:54] RUD
    If I became a leader, I'd probably
    have to stay until things settled down.
[20:59] LUNA
    Would you, though?
[21:01] LUNA
    Couldn't you choose someone to represent
    you and lead the clan in your place?
[21:06] RUD
    Even if that were possible,
    I couldn't force someone to do that.
[21:11] LUNA
    If I...
[21:13] LUNA
    If I can protect the town
    in your place, then I will.
[21:18] LUNA
    I like this town that's been so kind to me.
[21:22] LUNA
    So just as you helped me,
    I'd like to help you if I can.
[21:30] RUD
    But...
[21:31] NIN
    Are you gonna hide your true feelings again?
[21:34] RUD
    Nin.
[21:35] NIN
    It's okay. I'll support Luna.
[21:38] NIN
    I planned to quit being
    a saint eventually anyway.
[21:41] NIN
    It's not what the church wants,
    but they understand at least.
[21:45] NIN
    So I'll join your clan and help you.
[21:49] RUD
    Why would you both do all that for me?
[21:53] NIN
    Lots of people are grateful to you.
[21:56] NIN
    You're always protecting us, so it's not odd
     to want to help you out sometimes, right?
[22:03] LUNA
    Ms. Nin is right.
[22:06] RUD
    Are you sure about this?
[22:08] NIN
    Of course we are,
    so stop looking so miserable.
[22:14] NIN
    You should do what you want to do.
[22:19] MANICIA
    Brother.
[22:21] RUD
    Manicia!
[22:23] RUD
    You should be in bed.
[22:30] MANICIA
    I'm no longer the person
    you've had to protect all this time.
[22:36] MANICIA
    Like Luna, I love this town.
[22:40] MANICIA
    If there's a way for you
    to protect this town,
[22:45] MANICIA
    then I'd like you to do that.
[22:52] MANICIA
    I feel fine now.
[22:58] RUD/ID
    She's hardly fine, but after seeing that...
[23:05] RUD
    I take back what I said.
[23:10] RUD
    I'll protect Manicia and this town.
[23:13] RUD
    So I'd like your help.
[23:16] BOTH
    Sure.
