[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...

[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.
