**[00:03] Isaac**
Oh my. I'm surprised to
see someone else here.
**[00:09] Rentt**
You by yourself?
**[00:11] Isaac**
Yes.
**[00:12] Rentt**
The Tarasque Swamp isn't a
place for a normal person...
**[00:16] Rentt**
Particularly not alone.
**[00:19] Isaac**
You seem to be implying you're not normal.
**[00:24] Isaac**
I simply possess a magic
item that nullifies poison,
**[00:28] Isaac**
and holy water that drives Tarasques away,
**[00:31] Isaac**
as well as an accurate map.
**[00:35] Isaac**
I'm after the Dragonblood flowers.
**[00:38] Isaac**
You don't mind if I take some, do you?
**[00:41] Rentt**
Sure.
**[00:49] Rentt**
*Yeah, I'm surely the one who's not normal.*
***SIGN*** A Strange Man
and a Strange Job
**[02:34] Rentt**
Is that all you need?
**[02:37] Isaac**
Yes.
**[02:38] Isaac**
My mistress wants the
Dragonblood flower itself.
**[02:44] Isaac**
The medicine you make from
these will last a while,
**[02:47] Isaac**
but the flowers themselves won't
if they're plucked, right?
**[02:50] Rentt**
Yes.
**[02:52] Rentt**
I'm sorry for prying, but
is your mistress badly ill?
**[02:57] Isaac**
Yes, I suppose so.
**[02:58] Isaac**
I'd like to stay by their side,
taking care of them.
**[03:02] Rentt**
I know this doesn't help, but...
**[03:05] Rentt**
I hope they get better soon.
**[03:07] Isaac**
Thank you.
**[03:10] Isaac**
I and my mistress were fortunate I
was able to make your acquaintance.
**[03:16] Isaac**
I was just looking for someone
**[03:18] Isaac**
who could bring us Dragonblood
flowers at regular intervals.
**[03:23] Isaac**
It's silly to be asking this now,
but you're an adventurer, aren't you?
**[03:27] Rentt**
I'm Rentt Vivie. A
Bronze-class adventurer.
**[03:31] Isaac**
Bronze-class?
**[03:33] Rentt**
Have you changed your mind?
**[03:35] Isaac**
Not at all.
**[03:37] Isaac**
I'm certain you're strong enough.
**[03:39] Isaac**
If the pay and conditions are to your liking,
**[03:43] Isaac**
I would appreciate it if you would accept.
**[03:48] Rentt**
All right.
**[03:49] Isaac**
We'll make the arrangements
after our return, then.
**[03:52] Isaac**
Oh, I haven't introduced myself.
**[03:55] Isaac**
I'm Isaac Hart.
**[03:58] Isaac**
As for my mistress...
**[04:00] Isaac**
I'll introduce you after the
arrangements are finalized.
**[04:08] Man**
I didn't realize you were so strong.
**[04:11] Man**
Not many people come back
from that swamp unharmed.
**[04:16] Rentt**
Actually, this mask is just
a way to hide my identity.
**[04:21] Rentt**
I'm actually a Mythril-class adventurer.
**[04:26] Man**
Make sure you hire me next time!
**[04:28] Man**
I'll give you a discount!
**[04:33] Sheila**
Rentt!
**[04:35] Rentt**
I'd like to return this magic bag and
hire someone to butcher a monster.
**[04:39] Sheila**
Butcher...?
**[04:41] Sheila**
Did you defeat one?
**[04:49] Rentt**
There's a lot.
**[04:51] Sheila**
Okay.
**[04:52] Sheila**
I'll show you to the Butcher's, then.
**[04:57] Rentt**
*A monster doesn't just drop magic stones.*
**[04:59] Rentt**
* Their bodies can be butchered to*
* provide many different materials.*
**[05:02] Rentt**
* I learned how to do the basics myself when I*
* was learning to be a hunter in the village,*
**[05:05] Rentt**
* but for things I can't handle, I pay*
* the money to hire a specialist.*
**[05:13] Sheila**
Dario!
**[05:16] Dario**
Hey!
**[05:18] Dario**
What's up?
**[05:19] Sheila**
Rentt here has brought
something unusual for us.
**[05:25] Sheila**
A Tarasque!
**[05:27] Dario**
A Tarasque?
**[05:31] Dario**
Okay, bring it out!
**[05:33] Sheila**
Will Edel be okay?
**[05:36] Rentt**
Edel's resistant to poison.
**[05:48] Dario**
It's big.
**[05:51] Dario**
And in good shape, too.
**[05:54] Dario**
Not a single wound on the shell.
**[05:56] Dario**
That's rare.
**[05:57] Rentt**
Is it?
**[05:59] Dario**
Yes.
**[06:00] Dario**
The normal way to fight
one of these is to attack
**[06:02] Dario**
from outside the range of
its poison to weaken it.
**[06:04] Dario**
So the shell always gets damaged.
**[06:08] Rentt**
I see.
**[06:09] Dario**
You killed it in basically
a single hit, didn't you?
**[06:13] Sheila**
A *single* hit?
**[06:15] Rentt**
I just didn't have time
to land multiple hits.
**[06:18] Dario**
Don't be so humble!
**[06:20] Dario**
I haven't seen a Tarasque
of this quality in ages.
**[06:24] Rentt**
Will it be worth a lot?
**[06:26] Dario**
Of course.
**[06:28] Rentt**
Can I ask you to handle it?
**[06:30] Dario**
Yes.
**[06:31] Dario**
Look forward to it.
**[06:33] Rentt**
Thanks.
**[06:38] Rentt**
I guess I'll go to the orphanage tomorrow.
**[06:42] Rentt**
Thanks for staying out so late with me.
**[06:44] Sheila**
Not at all.
**[06:45] Sheila**
Anyway, Rentt, you've gotten
a lot stronger, haven't you?
**[06:50] Rentt**
Have I?
**[06:52] Sheila**
You defeated that huge
Tarasque all by yourself!
**[06:55] Sheila**
You're at the high end of Bronze...
**[06:57] Sheila**
No, you could easily be Silver!
**[07:00] Sheila**
You should remember that.
**[07:10] Rentt**
*I do feel stronger, but...*
**[07:13] Rentt**
* But saying that I, myself, have*
* gotten stronger feels weird.*
**[07:21] Rentt**
*Isaac doesn't seem to be an adventurer,*
**[07:23] Rentt**
* but he's probably got the strength of a*
* Silver-class, or probably close to Gold.*
**[07:28] Rentt**
*I just took advantage of my undead body.*
**[07:34] Rentt**
* This strength is something I got*
* just by becoming a monster.*
**[07:41] Rentt**
*Of course, I want to go back to being human.*
**[07:44] Rentt**
* But without this power, I'll go*
* back to who I was then, right?*
**[07:51] Rentt**
*10 years... 10 years!*
**[07:54] Rentt**
*With no talent, no improvement...*
**[07:57] Rentt**
* Where putting in effort each*
* day was all I could do...*
**[08:01] Rentt**
* Could I go back to that and*
* still try to become Mythril?*
**[08:17] Rentt**
This is fine. I've got just the thing.
**[08:22] Rentt**
Perfectly done.
**[08:24] Alize**
What's perfectly done?
**[08:27] Rentt**
The job.
**[08:29] Alize**
Already?!
**[08:34] Alize**
This is it...
**[08:35] Alize**
I've never seen it before.
**[08:37] Alize**
It's beautiful!
**[08:39] Norman**
This is wonderful.
**[08:41] Norman**
It's rare to see one that's
been prepared so well.
**[08:45] Rentt**
Is it?
**[08:46] Rentt**
The only adventurers who go to the Tarasque
swamp are of fairly high rank, right?
**[08:51] Rentt**
They should all know how
to properly prepare herbs.
**[08:54] Norman**
Well, just because of the
kind of place it is,
**[08:56] Norman**
there's not a lot of time
to do things properly.
**[08:58] Norman**
Sometimes you can get attacked
by a Tarasque on your way out.
**[09:02] Umberto**
You must be a powerful adventurer.
**[09:05] Umberto**
I'm Umberto, the healer.
**[09:08] Umberto**
And this is...
**[09:09] Normal**
Norman. An herbalist.
**[09:11] Normal**
Wow, with something of this quality
**[09:14] Normal**
I can make a medicine to treat
Malaccumula really quickly.
**[09:17] Alize**
Really?
**[09:18] Norman**
Yes. If there's any left over, can I use it?
**[09:23] Norman**
There are people who need it.
**[09:24] Alize**
Of course. I don't mind.
**[09:26] Rentt**
Do you want more?
**[09:29] Umberto**
Of course...
**[09:31] Norman**
I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
**[09:35] Rentt**
Is this enough?
**[09:37] Rentt**
No need to pay me. Just put it to good use.
**[09:41] Umberto**
You sure? This would be
worth a lot of money.
**[09:45] Rentt**
It's nice to just help
people, once in a while.
**[09:47] Norman**
Thank you. This is wonderful.
**[09:50] Norman**
I'll be able to save so
many lives with these...
**[09:54] Umberto**
We can't repay you right now,
**[09:56] Umberto**
but if you need something
in the future, tell us.
**[09:59] Rentt**
I will.
**[10:10] Alize**
And there we go.
**[10:12] Alize**
This completes the job.
**[10:15] Rentt**
Yeah.
**[10:17] Alize**
Here you go.
**[10:18] Rentt**
Thank you.
**[10:19] Alize**
No...
**[10:20] Alize**
I'm the one who has to thank you.
**[10:24] Alize**
I can't thank you enough!
**[10:27] Alize**
I was going to become an adventurer and
get it myself if nobody took the job...
**[10:32] Alize**
But I don't think that would've worked.
**[10:34] Rentt**
You no longer want to be an adventurer?
**[10:39] Alize**
I actually want to be one even more.
**[10:42] Alize**
Rentt...
**[10:43] Alize**
I want to be an adventurer like you!
**[10:47] Alize**
One who can help people!
**[10:51] Rentt**
Like me?
**[10:52] Alize**
Thank you so much!
**[10:54] Alize**
I can't do anything to thank you, but if...
**[10:59] Alize**
There's nothing I can do
to help you, is there?
**[11:03] Rentt**
That's not true.
**[11:05] Rentt**
There are times when I need help, too.
**[11:09] Rentt**
When that happens, I'll come to you.
**[11:13] Alize**
Great! You'd better!
**[11:16] Rentt**
Sure.
**[11:19] Rentt**
Was everything okay?
**[11:22] Rentt**
Alize, you said there were sometimes
small monsters in the basement, right?
**[11:27] Alize**
Yes. That's right.
**[11:29] Rentt**
Edel's old gang will protect you.
**[11:32] Alize**
Gang... Of puchi suri?
**[11:36] Alize**
That's great!
**[11:38] Alize**
Thank you, Edel!
**[11:41] Alize**
That's so great...
**[11:43] Alize**
I wonder if I'll be able to tame monsters
like this when I become an adventurer.
**[11:48] Rentt**
Anyway, if you want to be an adventurer,
you should start training early.
**[11:53] Alize**
Training?
**[11:54] Rentt**
The guild holds classes.
**[11:57] Rentt**
And I can train you too, when I have time.
**[12:00] Alize**
Really?
**[12:01] Rentt**
If you have mana, you should
learn to use magic, too.
**[12:06] Alize**
But I don't have money...
**[12:09] Alize**
It's expensive to train with a sword,
**[12:11] Alize**
but training to learn magic
costs even more, right?
**[12:16] Rentt**
I've got a friend who's not
doing anything with her time.
**[12:19] Rentt**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:20] Alize**
That won't do!
**[12:22] Alize**
I can't count on you for that much.
**[12:24] Rentt**
Then I'll lend you the
money, with no interest.
**[12:28] Rentt**
When you become an adventurer and
start earning money, pay me back.
**[12:36] Alize**
I'll pay it back with interest.
**[12:38] Rentt**
Fine.
**[12:40] Rentt**
We have a deal, then.
**[12:46] Alize**
I look forward to doing
business with you, Rentt!
**[12:51] Lorraine**
I don't mind teaching her.
**[12:54] Lorraine**
There are indeed times when
I'm "not doing anything."
**[13:00] Lorraine**
As you say.
**[13:02] Rentt**
Sorry... I meant when you're free.
**[13:06] Lorraine**
You should be careful with your words.
**[13:09] Lorraine**
You don't understand how young girls feel.
**[13:15] Rentt**
Thanks for the warning.
**[13:18] Rentt**
I have very few interactions
with young girls, though.
**[13:22] Lorraine**
Come on, that's not true.
**[13:25] Lorraine**
There's a young girl you know quite well.
**[13:29] Lorraine**
See?
**[13:32] Rentt**
Where?
**[13:34] Lorraine**
I just remembered about this extremely
powerful spell I just developed...
**[13:40] Rentt**
L-Lorraine?
**[13:42] Lorraine**
Let's see just how much that
undead body of yours can take!
**[13:47] Rentt**
Wait! You're young!
**[13:49] Rentt**
You're very young, Lorraine!
**[13:51] Rentt**
Your skin is as fair as driven snow...
**[13:54] Rentt**
And your statuesque figure...
**[13:58] Rentt**
Even the water fairies created
by the goddess of beauty
**[14:02] Rentt**
as the physical manifestation of
her virtue would bow their heads
**[14:06] Rentt**
at the sight of your gorgeous face!
**[14:08] Rentt**
You are the very picture of a young
girl in every way, Lorraine!
**[14:14] Lorraine**
Where the hell did you
learn to talk like that?
**[14:20] Lorraine**
Don't tell me you say that
to every girl you meet.
**[14:24] Rentt**
Of course I don't!
**[14:26] Rentt**
I mean...
**[14:28] Rentt**
I just said what I was thinking.
**[14:33] Lorraine**
You'd like a little more to eat, right?
**[14:36] Rentt**
Uh...
**[14:36] Lorraine**
I'll bring you something.
**[14:40] Lorraine**
I split the pots between the one
with blood and the one without.
**[14:52] Lorraine**
I think that got to me a little...
**[15:05] Rentt**
* Why am I the only one working*
* when I'm the master?*
**[15:10] Sheila**
Rentt!
**[15:11] Rentt**
Morning!
**[15:12] Sheila**
Can we talk?
**[15:14] Sheila**
This way.
**[15:19] Rentt**
What's this about?
**[15:21] Sheila**
Um, Rentt, did you know anyone
in the Latour household?
**[15:26] Rentt**
The Latour household?
**[15:28] Sheila**
You don't?
**[15:30] Rentt**
I've never heard the name.
**[15:32] Sheila**
There's actually a job
requesting you specifically.
**[15:39] Rentt**
Oh, the one from Isaac?
**[15:41] Sheila**
So you do know them?
**[15:45] Rentt**
No...
**[15:48] Rentt**
I just know a man who I assume is a
servant of this Latour Household.
**[15:54] Rentt**
Is the family that famous?
**[15:57] Rentt**
I'd like to think I know most of
what there is to know about Maalt.
**[16:01] Sheila**
I know little about them, myself.
**[16:04] Sheila**
They're not nobles, but they're a very old
house with a lot of influence over Maalt.
**[16:11] Sheila**
Someone of my lowly station
wouldn't be told any more.
**[16:16] Rentt**
So they're very secretive.
**[16:19] Sheila**
Each generation's guild master
is told to be very careful
**[16:24] Sheila**
not to offend the Latour household.
**[16:27] Sheila**
Rentt, if you're going to live here in Maalt,
**[16:30] Sheila**
you absolutely cannot refuse
a request from the Latours.
**[16:34] Rentt**
I have no intention of refusing.
**[16:36] Sheila**
But... is it okay?
**[16:40] Sheila**
Um... you're...
**[16:43] Rentt**
* If they find out I'm a*
* monster, they'll kill me.*
**[16:47] Sheila**
It's going to be hard.
**[16:50] Rentt**
No, when I met Isaac, he didn't
seem to care about my appearance.
**[16:56] Rentt**
If it was an issue, he wouldn't
have made the request at all.
**[17:01] Sheila**
All right.
**[17:02] Sheila**
But if there's any problem at all, tell me.
**[17:05] Rentt**
Of course. I'll start
by paying them a visit.
**[17:11] Umberto**
We've come to talk about
your condition today.
**[17:17] Umberto**
You're sick with Malaccumula.
**[17:23] Lilian**
So it's as I thought.
**[17:26] Lilian**
I'll need to tell the Church
to send a replacement.
**[17:32] Norman**
There's no need.
**[17:35] Lilian**
What's this?
**[17:37] Norman**
A medicine made from Dragonblood flower.
**[17:41] Norman**
Take one pill a day.
**[17:43] Norman**
Little by little, it will dissolve
the foulness building within you.
**[17:48] Lilian**
I appreciate it, but this
is so expensive, and I...
**[17:52] Alize**
Headmistress Lilian, you don't
need to worry about the money!
**[17:57] Alize**
So please...
**[17:59] Alize**
Please get better soon!
**[18:03] Lilian**
Alize...
**[18:05] Lilian**
Umberto, don't tell me
*you* got this flower...
**[18:09] Umberto**
I did used to be an adventurer, but
somebody like me could never do that.
**[18:13] Norman**
An adventurer took the job from Alize,
for the price of one bronze piece.
**[18:22] Lilian**
I see...
**[18:24] Lilian**
It was the one who came
here that day, wasn't it?
**[18:44] Rentt**
Excuse me... is Isaac in?
**[18:47] Guard**
Yes. He's in the mansion.
**[18:50] Guard**
Please, go inside.
**[18:53] Rentt**
It looks like there's a maze...
**[18:55] Guard**
Yes. Be careful.
**[18:58] Rentt**
Even if I was told to come here for a job?
**[19:02] Guard**
Yes.
**[19:06] Rentt**
Do maps cost money?
**[19:08] Guard**
There'd be no point in having one.
**[19:12] Guard**
A special magic item was
used to make this garden.
**[19:16] Guard**
The path changes.
**[19:18] Rentt**
There's an item that can do that?
**[19:20] Rentt**
No... even if it exists, that's incredible!
**[19:24] Guard**
The heads of the Latour family have
always collected magic items.
**[19:28] Guard**
I'm told that this item was
a part of their collection.
**[19:33] Rentt**
I don't like the fact that I have to
make it past one of their hobbies.
**[19:38] Guard**
Even if I told you there's a reward?
**[19:41] Rentt**
A reward?
**[19:43] Guard**
Those who make it through the
maze and reach the mansion
**[19:47] Guard**
can receive a magic item from
the head of the household.
**[19:50] Rentt**
Really?
**[19:52] Guard**
The entrance to the maze is only opened
rarely, at the whim of the head of household.
**[19:57] Guard**
I'm sure that's the case today.
**[20:01] Rentt**
Thanks for telling me.
**[20:03] Rentt**
One more thing...
**[20:05] Rentt**
I'd like to ask something from someone who
I assume has completed the maze himself.
**[20:09] Guard**
Yes?
**[20:10] Rentt**
Any advice?
**[20:13] Guard**
Let's see...
**[20:16] Guard**
The sun won't help you. I suppose
that's enough of a hint.
**[20:23] Rentt**
The sun?
**[20:27] Rentt**
Thank you.
**[20:35] Rentt**
*They're giving me a magic item.*
**[20:37] Rentt**
*Of course I'm going to try it.*
**[20:42] Rentt**
*Even this cursed mask is a magic item...*
**[20:45] Rentt**
* And it wouldn't be cheap*
* if I bought it normally.*
**[20:47] Rentt**
*If I can get a powerful magic item...*
**[20:52] Rentt**
* I need money and equipment if I'm*
* going to become Mythril-class, too!*
**[21:25] Rentt**
*No luck, huh?*
**[21:27] Rentt**
* Even though a magic item made this place,*
* I suppose it won't work since it's not a labyrinth.*
**[21:32] Rentt**
* That's fine. I've got a*
* good sense of direction.*
**[21:36] Rentt**
* I can draw a mental map that's more*
* than enough for a maze of this size...*
**[21:59] Rentt**
*I'm totally lost...*
