[00:00] ADVENTURER MAN A
    I'm gonna hunt down all the fieldasaurus!
[00:02] RUD/ID
    This town has transformed considerably.
[00:03] ADVENTURER MAN B
    No, I will.
[00:05] ADVENTURER WOMAN A
    Their raw materials are mine.
[00:08] RUD
    I'll have to mediate fights again.
[00:11] BOO
    Hey, Rud.
[00:13] GURLY
    You're looking pale.
[00:15] RUD
    Boo. Gurly.
[00:17] BOO
    It must be tough having to deal with this
    right after becoming clan leader.
[00:21] GURLY
    Shouldn't you get someone
    to help you run things?
[00:24] RUD
    Yeah. I've actually got a request
    for you two regarding that.
[00:31] NIN
    Welcome back. Was there another fight?
[00:34] RUD
    Yeah.
[00:35] NIN
    You can get good materials from
    fieldasaurus to use in potions and weapons.
[00:40] NIN
    It's no wonder everyone flocks to them.
[00:43] NIN
    We'll need to recruit people to
    help us manage the clan after all.
[00:48] RUD
    You're right.
[00:50] RUD
    Manicia is handling the office work,
    but I can't push her too hard.
[00:55] RUD
    I tried asking Lilia, but...
[00:58] (Flashback) LILIA
    Sorry, but I don't know enough
    to teach someone else.
[01:02] (Flashback) LILIA
    Why not try to cooperate with other clans?
[01:04] (Flashback) RUD
    Cooperate, huh?
[01:06] (Flashback) LILIA
    It'd be best if you could form an alliance.
[01:11] (Flashback) LILIA
    In this case, you'd want an equal alliance.
[01:13] (Flashback) LILIA
    If you have to answer to them, it'd defeat the
    point of establishing a new clan in this town.
[01:18] SIGN
    Equal Alliance
[01:18] SIGN
    Clan Leader A
[01:18] SIGN
    Clan Leader B
[01:18] SIGN
    Subordinate Relationship
[01:19] (Flashback) LILIA
    But they're not likely to agree to that
    unless you offer them something beneficial.
[01:20] SIGN
    Clan Leader A
[01:20] SIGN
    Clan leader B
[01:24] (Flashback) RUD
    Right.
[01:25] (Flashback) RUD
    After all, our clan only consists
    of Nin, Luna, Manicia, and me.
[01:29] (Flashback) LILIA
    If only you had something
    to offer right away...
[01:36] (Flashback) BOTH
    Lily?
[01:37] NIN
    Something we can offer right away, huh?
[01:42] RUD
    All we have to offer is combat strength.
[01:45] RUD
    But all I've told people is
    that we drove off the guardian,
[01:50] RUD
    in part, so we can protect Marius.
[01:52] NIN
    Right.
[01:53] RUD
    Which means we need someone
     to help manage the clan.
[01:59] RUD
    I've been doing what I can
     since I spoke with Lilia.
[02:05] NIN
    I knew you'd make a good clan leader.
[02:08] NIN
    At this rate, we might become
    a big clan sooner than we expect.
[02:12] RUD
    Why do you sound so disappointed?
[02:15] NIN
    Because if that happens...
[02:19] NIN
    We'll have less alone time.
[02:33] NIN
    Rud.
[02:36] NIN
    If we struggle to find people
    to help us manage the clan,
[02:41] NIN
    you can use me to help promote it.
[02:45] RUD
    I can't do that. You wouldn't like it.
[02:49] NIN
    Rud, you're so...
[02:53] MARIUS
    Rud, I want you to manage the labyrinth.
[02:56] MARIUS
    Huh? What are you two up to?
[02:57] RUD
    Nothing.
[02:59] RUD
    I told you, I'm not doing that.
     I'm busy right now.
[03:03] MARIUS
    Then, I'll become a clan member
     and stop fights.
[03:07] RUD
    That's not the only thing I'm busy with.
[03:09] RUD
    Anyway, should a labyrinth guardian
     be wandering around so much?
[03:12] MARIUS
    It's not an issue.
[03:13] RUD
    So you don't have a grudge
    against humans or anything like that?
[03:19] MARIUS
    Are you really asking me that?
[03:21] RUD
    I knew it.
[03:22] NIN
    So there is something.
[03:25] MARIUS
    Nope, nothing at all.
[03:27] MARIUS
    So let me help you while
    you manage the labyrinth.
[03:32] RUD
    Fine. I'll allow you to become a member.
[03:35] RUD
    Tell me about managing a labyrinth.
[03:39] MARIUS
    Sure thing. Let's get started.
[03:44] RUD
    I never said I'd actually manage it...

    A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
    Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
[05:20] MOB
    Shut up. I'm going in there.
[05:22] MOB
    You're gonna take all my materials.
[05:30] MARIUS
    In here, Rud.
[05:34] RUD
    You manage the labyrinth from here?
[05:35] MARIUS
    That's right.
[05:38] MARIUS
    This lake displays the
    interior of the labyrinth.
[05:40] MARIUS
    You can use it to place monsters and
     change the labyrinth's construction.
[05:47] MARIUS
    That number at the top is your points.
[05:49] MARIUS
    You can spend points to
    create and replicate monsters.
[05:54] RUD
    Do the points increase on their own?
[05:57] MARIUS
    You gain points over time and by
    depleting the absorb shields of adventurers.
[06:04] RUD
    I see. So if my absorb shield suffered
    massive damage, could I earn more points?
[06:10] MARIUS
    Oh, hey, that's a good idea.
[06:12] RUD
    Could you show me how it works?
[06:14] MARIUS
    Sure.
[06:16] RUD
    You're replicating a goblin?
[06:18] MARIUS
    I'll summon one within the labyrinth.
[06:24] RUD
    Hey, you'll chase off the adventurers.
[06:28] RUD
    Can you replicate monsters
    other than goblins?
[06:31] MARIUS
    Yeah. The monsters we can
     currently replicate are:
[06:34] MARIUS
    goblins, axe orcs,
    chameleon kongs, and fieldasaurus.
[06:40] MARIUS
    Monsters can only be replicated
     from originals you've created.
[06:46] MARIUS
    If you build trust with the monsters,
    they might help you in your time of need.
[06:52] MARIUS
    They may even take a liking to you.
[06:54] RUD
    Monsters can take a liking to people?
[06:57] RUD
    Wait, this costs a million points?
     We can't create that.
[07:01] MARIUS
    Right. That's when you use
    one of these grimoires.
[07:05] MARIUS
    This allows you to create a monster
     at random. It's like gacha.
[07:10] MARIUS
    Wanna try?
[07:18] SIGN
    Ta-
[07:18] SIGN
    da!
[07:19] RUD
    A slime?
[07:19] SIGN
    Ta-
[07:19] SIGN
    da!
[07:20] SIGN
    Ta-
[07:20] SIGN
    da!
[07:20] SIGN
    Ta-
[07:20] SIGN
    da!
[07:23] MARIUS
    Not quite what I said earlier,
    but it instantly took a liking to you.
[07:27] RUD
    Does this mean we can replicate slimes now?
[07:30] MARIUS
    Yeah.
[07:31] RUD
    With enough time, we might
    eventually get S-rank monsters.
[07:38] RUD/ID
    Most of the adventurers
    come here for the fieldasaurus.
[07:43] RUD/ID
    The labyrinth's lively right now,
[07:45] RUD/ID
    but once the materials become
    widely available, activity will die down.
[07:49] RUD/ID
    This might allow us to spawn
    a variety of monsters in the labyrinth,
[07:53] RUD/ID
    and keep a steady number
    of adventurers coming.
[07:57] RUD/ID
    This will help me manage the clan, too.
[08:06] MARIUS
    We got 1,000 points from that.
[08:09] MARIUS
    Hey, Rud. This might be a rare slime.
    We got real lucky creating it.
[08:16] RUD
    Thanks, slime. You gave me a great idea.
[08:20] RUD
    Marius.
[08:21] MARIUS
    Huh?
[08:22] RUD
    I'll take over managing
    the labyrinth from you.
[08:26] MARIUS
    Huh? You mean it?
[08:27] RUD
    I won't take the reins right away,
[08:29] RUD
    but I'll think about what kind of labyrinth
    we should make to attract more adventurers.
[08:34] RUD
    So could I ask you to manage the
     labyrinth for a little while longer?
[08:37] MARIUS
    Fine with me.
[08:40] RUD
    Wh-What should I do with this thing?
[08:42] MARIUS
    It doesn't seem interested in me.
    Why don't you take it with you?
[08:49] MANICIA
    What? A slime?
[08:51] RUD
    It's all right, Luna.
[08:53] RUD
    I, uh, picked it up at the labyrinth.
[08:56] RUD
    Manicia, didn't you say once
     that you wanted a pet?
[09:02] MANICIA
    It's cuter than the ones I've seen outside.
[09:08] MANICIA
    It's adorable.
[09:10] MANICIA
    Brother, if we're going to keep it
    as a pet, won't it need a name?
[09:15] RUD
    You're right.
[09:17] LUNA
    Master, you settled on my name right away.
    Did you not put much thought into it?
[09:25] RUD
    O-Of course I did. I chose something
    cute after giving it a lot of thought.
[09:30] MANICIA
    You chose that name because there was a
     lunafia petal on your clothes, right?
[09:34] MANICIA
    You chose it pretty quickly, huh?
[09:37] RUD
    I-I know. How about Lime?
[09:41] MANICIA
    It seems to like it.
[09:43] RUD
    Great. Nice to meet you, Lime.
[09:48] MANICIA
    I like how you look when you're distressed.
[09:51] LUNA
    Same here.
[09:53] RUD
    Give me a break.
[10:01] GOSH
    The clan leader of Avancia?
[10:04] IKE
    Why would we ally with
    a backwater clan like his?
[10:07] IKE
    Boo, reject his request.
[10:09] GOSH
    No, wait.
[10:14] LUTEL
    He seems like an interesting kid.
[10:16] LUTEL
    Very well. The two great clans
    will be holding our ball soon.
[10:20] BOTH
    Send him an invitation.
[10:20] BOTH
    Send him an invitation.
[10:26] RUD/ID
    Several days later,
    we arrived in the town of Keild.
[10:29] LUNA
    Wow.
[10:30] NIN
    This town is bigger than I imagined.
[10:34] RUD
    Lilia and Lily, thanks for coming with us.
[10:36] LILIA
    No problem. It gives us a chance
    to say hello to our guild, too.
[10:40] LILY
    I've never attended a ball before.
[10:43] LILY
    Isn't it exciting, Sister?
[10:46] MARIUS
    Rud, what are those flags for?
[10:49] RUD
    As you can see, they're the flags of the
    Black Dragon Fang and White Tiger Claw.
[10:54] MARIUS
    Huh...
[10:55] MARIUS
    They both look pretty sharp.
[11:00] RUD
    Looks like everyone's here.
[11:02] RUD
    Take a look at these.
[11:05] RUD
    They're invitations to a ball
     that's being held
[11:07] RUD
    by the two major clans in Keild,
    the Black Dragon Fang and White Tiger Claw.
[11:11] MANICIA
    That's incredible, dear brother.
[11:13] LUNA
    I'm not sure I understand,
    but I'm impressed, master.
[11:16] NIN
    This isn't just an invitation for our
    clans to work nicely together, is it?
[11:21] NIN
    What's the catch?
[11:24] RUD
    As you surmised, they've rejected
    our request to form an alliance.
[11:28] RUD
    They said they'd consider it
    if we served under them.
[11:31] NIN
    I knew it.
[11:32] RUD
    But that's not the only problem.
[11:36] RUD
    They demanded Nin
    in exchange for their cooperation.
[11:40] MARIUS
    They want Nin?
[11:41] RUD
    Nin is famous as a saint.
[11:43] RUD
    I've tried reaching out
    to some other clans, too,
[11:47] RUD
    and most of them were keenly aware of Nin.
[11:50] NIN
    I guess that means I'm popular.
[11:53] NIN
    So what are you going to do?
[11:56] NIN
    Will you trade me to them?
[11:59] RUD
    If you want to go, I won't stop you.
[12:01] NIN
    And what if I asked you to
    stop me, no matter what?
[12:04] RUD
    I'd stop you, of course.
[12:11] NIN
    Then, don't let me go. I don't intend
    to be part of any clan except this one.
[12:16] RUD
    Got it. I'll reject that condition,
     no matter what.
[12:23] RUD
    But I do plan to attend the ball in the
    knowledge that I'll be in enemy territory.
[12:28] RUD
    Most of the guests will likely be affiliated with
     the Black Dragon Fang or White Tiger Claw.
[12:33] RUD
    But I can't pass up this chance to speak directly
    to representatives of the two major clans.
[12:39] NIN
    You're right. You can't back out of this.
[12:42] MARIUS
    Hm, you're going to Keild, huh?
[12:44] MARIUS
    Keild... Keild...
[12:46] RUD
    What is it?
[12:47] MARIUS
    Oh, it's not all that important,
[12:50] MARIUS
    but in my lake, I saw another labyrinth
    with a sentient guardian like me.
[12:55] MARIUS
    It's called the Keild Labyrinth,
     like the town.
[13:02] RUD
    That's really important!
[13:04] MARIUS
    Oh, is it?
[13:06] RUD/ID
    If I raid the Keild Labyrinth and
    acquire another one of those magic stones,
[13:12] RUD/ID
    I might be able to
    completely cure Manicia's illness.
[13:15] NIN
    The Keild Labyrinth...
[13:17] NIN
    I've heard even the two major clans
    have only made it to the 50th floor.
[13:23] RUD
    But we've grown from before.
[13:26] RUD
    We've got Marius's more
    than satisfactory firepower.
[13:29] RUD
    Luna's been practicing
    magic in her spare time.
[13:32] RUD
    And Nin is an exceptional healer.
[13:35] RUD
    We'll make a good party.
[13:37] NIN
    So we'll be raiding a labyrinth
    and asking the clans for help.
[13:40] NIN
    Sounds like this will be a fun trip.
[13:43] RUD/ID
    I doubt either will be easy.
[13:46] RUD/ID
    But I'll do whatever it takes
    to form an alliance
[13:49] RUD/ID
    and acquire the Secret
    Treasure of the Labyrinth.
[13:57] NIN
    Thanks for waiting.
[13:59] NIN
    Well? I look pretty good, don't I?
[14:03] RUD
    Yeah, you do.
[14:05] NIN
    I suggested Luna wear a dress, too, but...
[14:07] LUNA
    I-I thought this would be better.
[14:15] RUD
    I'm sure you'd look good in a dress,
    but that maid outfit looks great on you, too.
[14:19] LUNA
    Th-Thank you.
[14:22] LILY
    C'mon, sis, don't be shy.
[14:26] LILIA
    I don't really like girly clothes like these.
[14:30] LILY
    It's fine. You look cute.
[14:37] LILA
    Stop staring at me.
[14:39] NIN
    You're going red.
[14:40] LILIA
    I said stop!
[14:42] LUNA
    How extravagant.
[14:44] NIN
    All of this belongs to the
    Black Dragon Fang. Surprising, isn't it?
[14:49] LILIA
    Apparently, the White Tiger Claw
     owns a similar building.
[14:53] RUD
    It's no wonder they reign
     over the other clans.
[15:00] GUEST A
    Isn't that the Lady Saint?
[15:02] GUEST B
    You're right. What's she
    doing at the clan ball?
[15:05] GUEST C
    Don't you know?
[15:06] GUEST C
    Apparently, her clan's going to join ours.
[15:12] RUD
    What are they talking about?
[15:13] RUD
    They make it sound like
    you represent our clan, too.
[15:17] NIN
    Don't let them underestimate you, leader.
[15:20] NIN
    We're going to change
    their opinion of us today.
[15:23] RUD
    I intend to take care of that, but...
[15:26] RUD/ID
    I expected it,
    but I feel uncomfortable here.
[15:30] MARIUS
    Hey, Rud.
[15:31] MARIUS
    Am I allowed to eat that food over there?
[15:34] RUD
    Uh, yeah.
[15:35] MARIUS
    Really?
[15:37] NIN
    Having Marius around really
    diffuses the tension, doesn't it?
[15:40] RUD
    Yeah. Should we get something to eat, too?
[15:48] IKE
    Thank you all for coming today.
[15:51] IKE
    I am Ike, sub-leader of
    the Black Dragon Claw.
[15:54] CYNTHIA
    And I am Cynthia,
    sub-leader of the White Tiger Claw.
[15:58] RUD/ID
    I thought their leaders
    would be greeting the guests.
[16:02] IKE
    Today, we've invited a special guest.
[16:06] IKE
    Lady Saint.
[16:08] IKE
    Could you come up here, please?
[16:13] NIN
    Rud, they're inviting me to go up there,
[16:17] NIN
    but I'm a member of your clan.
[16:20] RUD
    You're right.
[16:23] RUD
    I'm going to go complain.
     Will you come with me?
[16:27] NIN
    Sure.
[16:31] IKE
    Lady Saint, I never thought
    you'd actually become an adventurer.
[16:36] NIN
    No? I've actually been wanting
    to focus on adventuring for a while.
[16:41] IKE
    And who is this?
[16:44] GUEST D
    Who's that guy?
[16:45] GUEST E
    He's awfully friendly with the Lady Saint.
[16:47] NIN
    He's—
[16:48] RUD
    It is nice to meet you.
[16:50] RUD
    I am the leader of Nin's clan, Rud.
[16:53] IKE
    Ah, yes. Weren't you a
    member of the hero's party?
[16:59] IKE
    I believe you were their tank, correct?
[17:03] IKE
    Didn't the former hero call you useless?
[17:08] IKE
    On several occasions, he asked
    for my advice on party composition.
[17:12] IKE
    I suggested he kick his tank.
[17:20] IKE
    I mean, you don't need
    a tank to raid labyrinths.
[17:24] RUD
    You don't need a tank?
[17:26] IKE
    No. After all, tanks say they're protecting
    their party members while doing nothing.
[17:32] GUEST A
    He's right.
[17:32] GUEST B
    Attackers can handle the tank role.
[17:33] GUEST C
    Evasion tanks are better anyway.
[17:36] IKE
    Allow me to be direct.
[17:38] IKE
    Lady Nin, will you join our clan?
[17:41] IKE
    Your talents are wasted
    in a nameless clan like—
[17:44] CYNTHIA
    Wait a minute.
[17:46] CYNTHIA
    We've also been wanting a talented healer
     to help us raid the Keild Labyrinth.
[17:50] RUD
    Enough.
[17:52] RUD
    I'm not letting either of you have Nin.
[17:55] IKE
    Mr. Rud, you wanted an advisor
    for your clan, didn't you?
[18:00] RUD
    But you want Nin in exchange for one, right?
[18:04] RUD
    I'm sorry, but Nin is a valued friend.
[18:07] RUD
    I'm not trading her.
[18:10] IKE
    Then, why did you come here?
[18:12] RUD
    To form an alliance.
[18:13] GUEST A
    An alliance? With our major clans?
[18:16] GUEST B
    Isn't his clan a small backwater one?
[18:18] GUEST C
    He's merely a tank, too.
[18:21] GUEST D
    What a joke.
[18:23] IKE
    I can't trust a clan led by a tank.
[18:27] IKE
    Lady Nin, are you sure he's the one you want?
[18:32] NIN
    Yes, of course.
[18:38] NIN
    He's the world's strongest tank!
[18:45] RUD
    May I borrow that?
[18:49] RUD
    We came here to raid the Keild Labyrinth.
[18:54] RUD
    We are stronger than anyone here.
[18:56] RUD
    Laugh if you want.
[18:58] RUD
    But anyone who does will regret it.
[19:02] RUD
    I'll prove your expectations wrong.
[19:05] RUD
    We will reach the 51st floor
    and below of the Keild Labyrinth
[19:10] RUD
    that not even the
    two major clans could clear.
[19:16] GOSH
    Well, well. You're a spirited young man.
[19:20] GOSH
    I love guys like you.
[19:23] IKE
    L-Leader! You came to the ball?
[19:27] GOSH
    Yeah.
[19:28] GOSH
    Ike, don't underestimate the newbies
     too much. It's a bad habit of yours.
[19:33] IKE
    But, sir...
[19:34] GOSH
    Rud, was it?
[19:37] GOSH
    I am Gosh, leader of the Black Dragon Fang.
[19:41] GOSH
    Nice to meet you.
[19:42] RUD
    Likewise.
[19:45] RUD/ID
    I can tell from his handshake.
[19:47] RUD/ID
    He's incredibly powerful.
[19:50] RUD/ID
    So this is the leader of
    the Black Dragon Fang?
[19:54] GOSH
    If he thinks he can raid the labyrinth,
[19:57] GOSH
    then I'm willing to consider
    an alliance with him.
[20:00] GOSH
    Go on, say something.
[20:03] LUTEL
    Jeez. I was planning
    to stay out of the spotlight.
[20:07] GOSH
    Don't be like that, Ms. Lutel,
    leader of the White Tiger Claw.
[20:11] LUTEL
    I'd also be willing to consider
    an alliance with a clan
[20:15] LUTEL
    that says they can conquer the labyrinth.
[20:19] LUTEL
    If they manage it, that is.
[20:23] GOSH
    Well, you heard her, Rud.
[20:26] GOSH
    I hope you're not all bark and no bite.
[20:30] MARIUS
    That was a splendid declaration.
[20:33] RUD
    Don't remind me.
[20:35] MARIUS
    Anyway, why doesn't everyone
    respect your strength?
[20:39] RUD
    Because you typically can't tell how strong
    someone is just by looking at them.
[20:42] MARIUS
    But anyone strong enough should be able
     to recognize that you're exceptional.
[20:48] MARIUS
    Rud, we're gonna conquer that labyrinth.
[20:51] MARIUS
    I won't let their mockery of you stand.
[20:55] MARIUS
    I'm gonna go take a bath!
[20:58] RUD
    Try not to bother anyone.
[21:00] MARIUS
    Yeah, yeah, I know.
[21:03] LUNA
    Master.
[21:05] NIN
    You look tired.
[21:08] RUD
    It's not often that I speak
    in front of so many people.
[21:12] LUNA
    But your words were incredible.
     I'm glad you said all that.
[21:17] NIN
    You're right. And, um...
[21:21] NIN
    Th-Thanks for protecting me like that.
[21:26] NIN
    It made me really happy.
[21:27] RUD
    Of course. You're a valued friend, after all.
[21:32] NIN
    A-Anyway, I just wanted to say that.
[21:35] NIN
    I'll see you tomorrow.
[21:37] RUD
    Okay.
[21:39] RUD/ID
    Not even the two major clans
    could clear the labyrinth.
[21:43] RUD/ID
    I doubt it'll be easy, but in order
    to protect my clan and my friends...
[21:48] RUD/ID
    I will conquer the Keild Labyrinth.
