[00:03] Sheila
    Rentt, if you're going to live here in Maalt,
[00:06] Sheila
    you absolutely cannot refuse
    a request from the Latours.
[00:10] Rentt
    I have no intention of refusing.
[00:11] Sheila
    But... is it okay?
[00:15] Sheila
    Um... you're...
[00:19] Rentt
    If they find out I'm a
    monster, they'll kill me.
[00:23] Sheila
    It's going to be hard.
[00:25] Rentt
    No, when I met Isaac, he didn't
    seem to care about my appearance.
[00:32] Rentt
    If it was an issue, he wouldn't
    have made the request at all.
[00:36] Sheila
    All right.
[00:38] Sheila
    But if there's any problem at all, tell me.
[00:41] Rentt
    Of course. I'll start
    by paying them a visit.
[00:56] Rentt
    This place is incredible...
[01:01] Rentt
    I like to think I have a good
    sense of direction, but...
[01:08] (Flashback) Guard
    Hmm...
[01:11] (Flashback) Guard
    The sun won't help you. I suppose
    that's enough of a hint.
[01:16] Rentt
    There are very few places in the
    labyrinths where you can see the sun.
[01:20] Rentt
    Even without the sun to
    guide them, an adventurer
[01:22] Rentt
    can draw a mental map to guide them.
[01:25] Rentt
    But if the map in my head was right, I
    would've made it to the exit a long time ago...
[01:39] Rentt
    This isn't the exit, I suppose.
[01:49] Laura
    Will you give up?
[01:52] Rentt
    No, I'm going to keep
    trying a little longer.
[01:56] Rentt
    Or is that not okay?
[01:58] Laura
    Head that way, then.
[02:00] Laura
    Be warned, though, that the maze
    will continue for a while.
[02:04] Laura
    If you'd like to take a break, why
    don't you join me for a spot of tea?
[02:12] Rentt
    I'll do that, then.
SIGN    The Garden
    Labyrinth
[03:48] Rentt
    I assume she's a daughter
    of the Latour family, then?
[03:52] Rentt
    The teapot she's using is a
    magic item, as well, I think...
[03:57] Rentt
    I'm sorry, but did you forget
    to put in the tea leaves?
[04:05] Laura
    This teapot can recreate the taste of any
    tea that it's ever been used to brew.
[04:11] Rentt
    That's an incredible item.
    Where did you get it?
[04:15] Laura
    There are two types of magic items:
    ones from the labyrinths,
[04:18] Laura
    and those made by craftsmen
    to imitate the former.
[04:21] Laura
    This one was discovered 200
    years ago in the labyrinths.
[04:25] Laura
    I believe it was worth around 300 platinum.
[04:30] Rentt
    Platinum?
[04:32] Rentt
    You could live a lifetime off of just one
    platinum coin and have money left over!
[04:35] Rentt
    And it cost 300 of them?
[04:37] Rentt
    The Latour family is a lot wealthier
    than most nobles, then...
[04:40] Laura
    It's more than worth it.
[04:43] Laura
    Adventurers risked their lives
    in the labyrinths to find it.
[04:48] Rentt
    You can risk your life in the labyrinths
[04:50] Rentt
    and only end up with a bunch
    of weird junk, though, too.
[04:57] Rentt
    This is good!
[04:58] Laura
    I'm glad you like it.
[05:01] Laura
    I've recreated a tea I had long ago,
    the one whose taste I liked best.
[05:05] Rentt
    I see...
[05:07] Rentt
    I've never had tea this good.
[05:11] Laura
    This may be rude, but is that
    mask also a magic item?
[05:15] Rentt
    Yeah...
[05:16] Laura
    I knew it!
[05:18] Laura
    Where did you get it?
[05:21] Rentt
    Someone I know bought it from
    a street stall in Maalt.
[05:24] Rentt
    And for three bronze.
[05:27] Laura
    I had no idea there was something so
    fascinating to be found in Maalt.
[05:30] Laura
    I'm sorry to ask, but...
[05:34] Laura
    Would you be willing to part with it?
[05:36] Rentt
    I heard the Latours collect magic items.
[05:40] Rentt
    Does she collect them, too?
[05:43] Laura
    I'm sorry. It's a valuable item, yes?
[05:47] Laura
    Of course, I'm more than willing
    to pay what it's worth.
[05:51] Rentt
    I'd love to sell it!
[05:52] Rentt
    If I could only take it off...
[05:54] Rentt
    But it's only thanks to this mask
    that nobody can see I'm undead.
[06:01] Rentt
    I'm sorry.
[06:02] Rentt
    I can't do that.
[06:04] Laura
    No, I'm sure it must be an item
    of great importance to you.
[06:09] Laura
    It was rude to ask.
[06:12] Rentt
    No, don't worry about it.
[06:17] Rentt
    Thank you for the tea.
[06:20] Laura
    Take care, then.
[06:22] Rentt
    Yeah, thanks.
[06:24] Laura
    I'll give you a hint.
[06:28] Rentt
    A hint?
[06:30] Laura
    You should avoid looking
    at the sun, perhaps.
[06:33] Rentt
    The sun, again?
[06:35] Rentt
    I'll remember that.
[06:46] Rentt
    There's definitely some trick to this maze.
[06:53] Rentt
    The sun, huh?
[07:04] Rentt
    Don't tell me...
[07:09] Rentt
    Teleportation?
[07:11] Rentt
    Can you go back?
[07:13] Rentt
    No, there might be one-way teleporters.
[07:17] Rentt
    I'm not even in a labyrinth... So
    how could there be traps like this?
[07:22] Rentt
    Which means...
[07:24] Rentt
    I'm starting over?
[07:41] Rentt
    I'm finally out.
[07:44] Laura
    Congratulations.
[07:47] Laura
    It seems you found the secret of the maze.
[07:51] Rentt
    It's thanks to the advice
    a certain someone gave me.
[07:55] Laura
    I'm Laura Latour, the head
    of the Latour family.
[08:00] Laura
    A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[08:03] Rentt
    She's the head of the family?
[08:05] Rentt
    I'm Rentt Vivie. A Bronze-class adventurer.
[08:09] Rentt
    I came to discuss a job.
[08:12] Rentt
    And...
[08:14] Rentt
    I completed the maze.
[08:18] Laura
    Indeed you did.
[08:19] Laura
    Very few are capable of doing so.
[08:23] Rentt
    Do I get a reward, too?
[08:26] Laura
    Of course you do.
[08:30] Laura
    Please choose any magic item you want
    from the Latour Family's collection.
[08:36] Rentt
    Then can you give me the
    one that made that maze?
[08:40] Laura
    I'm sorry. I can't do that.
[08:45] Rentt
    I was kidding.
[08:46] Laura
    Oh my.
[08:47] Rentt
    You made me walk forever in that labyrinth.
[08:51] Rentt
    It was my way of getting back at you.
[08:53] Laura
    You're a fascinating man.
[08:58] Isaac
    Right this way.
[09:13] Rentt
    Magic items made by human
    hands are more consistently reliable.
[09:18] Rentt
    But we can still only make the
    simplest items, like these lights.
[09:24] Laura
    They're filled with mystery.
[09:26] Laura
    Just like the labyrinths.
[09:34] Laura
    Light.
[09:40] Rentt
    Wow.
[09:42] Rentt
    These are all magic items?
[09:44] Laura
    Yes. It was very difficult to get
    them all cleaned up and organized.
[09:47] Rentt
    No, that's not what I
    meant... well, kind of.
[09:53] Laura
    How are all the labyrinths around
    the world born? Why do they exist?
[09:59] Laura
    No one has ever found an answer.
[10:04] Laura
    The magic items are the same.
[10:07] Laura
    Just as you said, some of them are junk
    that we have little idea how to use.
[10:15] Rentt
    What is this item?
[10:18] Laura
    I don't know.
[10:19] Laura
    If you throw it, it will
    continue to bounce forever.
[10:23] Rentt
    Why did you collect all this stuff?
[10:25] Laura
    Because I wanted it.
[10:27] Laura
    That's what it means to
    be an obsessive collector.
[10:31] Rentt
    I see.
[10:32] Rentt
    And this?
[10:34] Laura
    Have you ever seen the airships
    they have in the west?
[10:39] Laura
    They're huge, and carry people
    with the power of steam.
[10:44] Rentt
    I've heard rumors.
[10:46] Laura
    It's a model of one of them.
    It's powered by mana.
[10:51] Laura
    You can control it with this.
[11:02] Laura
    Is it fun?
[11:03] Rentt
    Yes. I want it.
[11:05] Laura
    Then will you choose this?
[11:09] Rentt
    I want it, but it's a toy, right?
[11:13] Rentt
    The young boy inside me wants it, but...
[11:18] Rentt
    The grown up inside me wants
    something more useful.
[11:23] Laura
    You seem hesitant.
[11:25] Laura
    Rentt, focus your mind on the model.
[11:34] Rentt
    What is this?
[11:36] Laura
    Amazing, is it not?
[11:38] Laura
    The controller can transfer
    their mind into the model.
[11:41] Rentt
    Yes, that's amazing...
[11:44] Rentt
    But it burns a lot of mana.
[11:46] Laura
    I call it a "model", for
    lack of a better term,
[11:49] Laura
    but this was discovered in the labyrinths.
[11:52] Rentt
    Which means...
[11:53] Laura
    Yes. The airships are
    modeled after this item.
[11:58] Laura
    Though they could never
    figure out what made it fly,
[12:01] Laura
    and were forced to turn to other means.
[12:04] Rentt
    I thought it was just a toy...
[12:07] Rentt
    But it would be very helpful for scouting.
[12:10] Laura
    Yes.
[12:11] Laura
    But because of the way it uses mana,
    you can't send it that far ahead.
[12:16] Rentt
    True.
[12:17] Rentt
    It couldn't go more than a
    few minutes with my magic.
[12:21] Laura
    What will you do?
[12:23] Rentt
    I'll think about it.
[12:25] Laura
    Take your time, then.
[12:27] Rentt
    I will.
[12:31] Rentt
    There's a lot ahead too, isn't there?
[12:36] Rentt
    Is this a magic item as well?
[12:38] Laura
    Yes. It lights up when something approaches.
[12:41] Rentt
    Anything?
[12:43] Laura
    Yes. It will react even to a rat.
[12:45] Rentt
    Sounds useful, but I don't know
    if it actually would be...
[12:50] Rentt
    This seems to be a normal painting.
[12:55] Laura
    Press the button on the frame.
[12:59] Rentt
    This?
[13:07] Laura
    Isn't it intriguing?
[13:09] Laura
    What do you think those voices are?
[13:12] Rentt
    Is she just enjoying watching my reactions?
[13:19] Laura
    Rentt, be careful!
[13:24] Laura
    Isaac, where's the shutdown device?
[13:27] Isaac
    We put it somewhere else, just to be safe.
[13:42] Rentt
    You're kidding me...
[13:52] Rentt
    Why is there a golem here?
[14:04] Rentt
    Even I couldn't take a
    hit from this thing...
[14:06] Laura
    Isaac, hurry!
[14:08] Isaac
    Yes, of course.
[14:09] Isaac
    Rentt, just try and hang
    in there for a while!
[14:12] Isaac
    It should be around here...
[14:13] Rentt
    It's important to keep things organized.
[14:21] Rentt
    Hey, how long can a golem stay powered?
[14:24] Rentt
    It only took a little bit of my mana!
[14:27] Isaac
    It only used your mana to activate!
[14:30] Laura
    That golem absorbs the mana and inorganic
    matter in its surroundings to become stronger.
[14:39] Rentt
    Can I hurt it a little?
[14:40] Laura
    I don't mind.
[14:42] Laura
    But you won't be able
    to defeat it in battle.
[14:44] Rentt
    I'm not planning on beating it.
[14:59] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Listen to me, Rentt.
[15:00] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Golems have a word in a magical tongue
    on their forehead that means "truth."
[15:05] (Flashback) Lorraine
    You can add a single character
    to change that word to "death,"
[15:10] (Flashback) Lorraine
    which will cause it to collapse.
[15:13] Rentt
    There's nothing on its forehead at all!
[15:21] (Flashback) Lorraine
    At least, that's how they did
    it in the very early days.
[15:24] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Normally they come with an
    external shutdown device.
[15:27] (Flashback) Rentt
    And if it doesn't have one?
[15:28] (Flashback) Laura
    Then you have to run, or defeat it.
[15:32] Rentt
    Hey, have you found that shutdown device yet?
[15:34] Isaac
    I'm pretty sure it was on this shelf...
[15:39] Rentt
    Well, I can't keep this up any longer.
[15:46] Rentt
    I didn't want to show anyone this
    technique, but... I have no choice!
[15:51] Rentt
    Mana-Spirit Fusion will do it!
[16:01] Laura
    Halt.
[16:07] Rentt
    So they made it in time...
[16:10] Isaac
    I'm so sorry! Are you hurt?
[16:13] Laura
    I'm fine.
[16:14] Isaac
    My failure to properly manage our
    magic items has put you in danger.
[16:19] Laura
    No, as your master, it's my fault.
[16:23] Rentt
    No, it's my fault for carelessly
    touching a magic item.
[16:28] Rentt
    More importantly...
[16:30] Rentt
    They're not gonna ask me
    to pay for it, are they?
[16:33] Laura
    I'll have the servants clean this up later.
[16:38] Laura
    Now, what magic item will you choose?
[16:41] Rentt
    If you don't mind, I'd like to continue.
[16:51] Rentt
    What's that?
[16:54] Laura
    Materials taken from monsters.
[16:57] Laura
    They're not magic items, but they can be used to make medicine and weapons.
[17:03] Rentt
    Materials taken from monsters?
[17:18] Laura
    Does that catch your interest?
[17:22] Laura
    It's the blood of a vampire.
[17:32] Laura
    Ingesting the blood of a vampire is
    said to make one a vampire themself.
[17:38] Rentt
    Is that true?
[17:40] Laura
    It's just a rumor.
[17:42] Laura
    There are quite a few records of
    people drinking vampire blood.
[17:46] Laura
    Most of them went mad and died.
[17:50] Laura
    The few who survived are said to have become
    hollow shells of their former selves.
[17:54] Rentt
    So nobody was ever able to
    become a vampire, then?
[17:58] Laura
    Do you think anyone would ever
    say they've become a vampire?
[18:02] Laura
    They would immediately be killed.
[18:05] Rentt
    True.
[18:06] Laura
    So there's just rumors, and nothing more.
[18:09] Laura
    But even rumors are enough to make it
    desired among those who wish for eternal life.
[18:14] Laura
    You can sell it for a fortune
    to the high nobility.
[18:21] Rentt
    I've made my choice.
[18:27] Lorraine
    And this is what you chose?
[18:30] Rentt
    Yes.
[18:31] Lorraine
    Yes, it's wonderful.
[18:40] Lorraine
    I've seen airships, but I had no idea
    they were inspired by a magic item.
[18:51] Lorraine
    And not only can you control
    it, you can see what it sees?
[18:57] Rentt
    It's a ton of fun.
[18:59] Lorraine
    Who are the Latour family, though?
[19:03] Lorraine
    They're freer with gifts than many royals.
[19:05] Lorraine
    Well, there aren't many
    adventurers like me
[19:08] Lorraine
    who make regular trips
    to the Tarasque swamp.
[19:13] Isaac
    I can really take this, too?
[19:16] Isaac
    Yes. It's thanks for taking
    on such a troublesome job.
[19:20] Isaac
    Of course, we'll pay you what's on the job
    sheet each time you complete the task.
[19:27] Rentt
    I see.
[19:28] Isaac
    Now I can devote myself
    fully to caring for Laura.
[19:33] Rentt
    So, you want to try it?
[19:37] Lorraine
    Of course... but I think first it's
    time to stop playing and face reality.
[19:43] Rentt
    I wasn't just playing...
[20:03] Isaac
    Was he to your liking?
[20:05] Laura
    Is that how it seems to you?
[20:07] Isaac
    Yes.
[20:08] Laura
    He was a rare sort of guest.
[20:11] Laura
    I'm afraid I let myself get too excited.
[20:14] Isaac
    It was a nice change of pace.
[20:16] Isaac
    But for now,
    please get some rest.
[20:23] Lorraine
    It's safe to assume this is real?
[20:26] Rentt
    I'm pretty sure it is.
[20:28] Rentt
    When I saw this, I could feel it.
[20:32] Rentt
    If I drink this, I knew,
    something would change.
[20:37] Lorraine
    Something instinctive?
[20:39] Lorraine
    But are you sure?
[20:42] Lorraine
    Just as Laura Latour said,
[20:44] Lorraine
    the records say that everyone who ingests
    vampire blood meets a terrible end...
[20:51] Rentt
    So it seems.
[20:54] Lorraine
    It's rare for you to be hesitant.
[20:56] Rentt
    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
[21:00] Rentt
    I know I need this if I'm going to evolve.
[21:04] Rentt
    My body wants it.
[21:07] Lorraine
    But it's too dangerous.
[21:09] Lorraine
    You may not survive.
[21:12] Lorraine
    Even if your undead body can take it, you...
[21:18] Lorraine
    If you can avoid drinking
    it, I'd prefer you don't.
[21:22] Lorraine
    I wouldn't mind you being an undead forever.
[21:29] Lorraine
    Just stay here forever and spend
    your life as an adventurer.
[21:35] Rentt
    Lorraine...
[21:37] Lorraine
    But that's not what you want, is it?
[21:41] Lorraine
    Even if you don't have the talent,
    even if it takes you years...
[21:45] Lorraine
    You want to become one
    no matter what, right?
[21:48] Lorraine
    A Mythril-class adventurer...
SIGN    Rentt Faina
