[00:17] Rentt
    Goblins can be dangerous in groups,
[00:20] Rentt
    but I can use the layout of the dungeon
    to force them into one-on-one fights,
[00:23] Rentt
    where they're helpless against me.
[00:28] Rentt
    I existential evolved into a ghoul,
    and I've got some muscle now.
[00:31] Rentt
    I'm much more agile than
    I was as a skeleton.
[00:34] Rentt
    And the biggest surprise was
    that my mana, spirit energy,
[00:38] Rentt
    and divinity have all increased.
[00:40] Rentt
    Now I can strengthen not
    only myself, but my sword.
[00:56] Rentt
    Maybe... I'm even stronger
    now than I was as a human!
SIGN    The Rookie and
     the Veteran
[03:03] Rentt
    It's been so long since I've seen a human.
[03:07] Rentt
    No, I can't go out there like this.
[03:11] Rentt
    I'm a ghoul. She'd either
    try to kill me or run away.
[03:15] Rentt
    So I'll just watch from a distance.
[03:20] Rentt
    I'm so jealous she gets to be human.
[03:23] Rentt
    I don't recognize her. Is she a rookie?
[03:27] Rentt
    I know pretty much every
    adventurer in Maalt, actually.
[03:31] Rentt
    The reason I know them is because
    adventurers can be a rough crowd,
[03:35] Rentt
    and a lot of them will make
    fun of weaklings like me,
[03:38] Rentt
    or try to get us to take the
    fall for something they did.
[03:41] Rentt
    Knowing their abilities and who
    their friends are can help a lot.
[03:46] Rentt
    Having fewer bad guys around made the
    adventurers in Maalt a lot better than most.
[03:52] Rentt
    And the guild seems to like having me around.
[03:55] Rentt
    As weak as I am, hasn't
    told me I need to retire.
[04:10] Rentt
    That way leads to...
[04:26] Rentt
    She's received proper training.
[04:30] Rentt
    But she's weak, so she needs
    to land a lot of hits.
[04:33] Rentt
    She's probably planning on taking her
    time and dodging while she defeats it...
[04:38] Rentt
    But she's not watching
    her surroundings at all.
[04:45] Rina
    I'm going to become a real adventurer!
[04:50] Rina
    I won't let a skeleton beat me!
[05:02] Rentt
    I guess I've got no choice.
[05:08] Rina
    A ghoul?!
[05:11] Rentt
    Come on... The enemy just turned
    its back to you! Attack it!
[05:16] Rentt
    No, I guess she's too stunned
    to think about that.
[05:27] Rina
    Wow.
[05:30] Rentt
    Um...
[05:32] Rentt
    I'm glad you're safe...
[05:37] Rentt
    H-Hello... I'm R-Rentt...
[05:43] Rentt
    Rentt!
[05:46] Rina
    Stay away from me!
[05:48] Rentt
    Please! Listen to me!
[05:51] Rentt
    I'm not your enemy...
[05:57] Rentt
    P-Please...
[05:59] Rina
    It's... talking?
[06:01] Rentt
    Y-Yes!
[06:03] Rentt
    I'm Rentt...
[06:06] Rentt
    An adventurer...
[06:08] Rina
    An adventurer? An adventurer!
[06:11] Rentt
    Yes!
[06:12] Rentt
    I'm an adventurer!
[06:15] Rentt
    My name is Rentt!
[06:18] Rina
    Rendo?
[06:20] Rentt
    Renro... Rentt!
[06:23] Rina
    Rentt!
[06:25] Rentt
    Yes!
[06:27] Rina
    So, why do you look like that, Rentt?
[06:33] Rina
    Some kind of disguise?
[06:34] Rentt
    N-No! I died...
[06:38] Rentt
    But... I'm alive!
[06:42] Rina
    Yes, you don't look like a normal monster.
[06:46] Rina
    Thank you for saving me.
[06:49] Rentt
    Adventurers... look out for each other...
[06:54] Rina
    Um... I appreciate you saying that.
[06:56] Rina
    So... I hate to ask, but...
[07:00] Rentt
    What?
[07:02] Rina
    Can I go back?
[07:05] Rina
    You're not going to kill me, right?
[07:07] Rentt
    I-I'm not going to kill you...
[07:10] Rentt
    But I want your help...
[07:14] Rina
    Help?
[07:15] Rentt
    I want you... to buy me clothes.
[07:20] Rina
    Clothes?
[07:22] Rentt
    I want to go back to Maalt.
[07:25] Rina
    Oh... so perhaps a robe
    that would hide your body?
[07:30] Rentt
    Thank you...
[07:32] Rentt
    M-Money...
[07:36] Rentt
    If you... buy me those clothes...
    you can have the rest.
[07:47] Rentt
    Please...
[07:52] Rina
    My name is Rina Rupaage.
[07:54] Rina
    As the daughter of a knight,
    I shall repay this debt.
[08:04] Rina
    Just wait for me, Rentt...
[08:10] Rentt
    She's pretty cautious around me.
[08:12] Rentt
    For an adventurer, that's
    the right way to be, but...
[08:16] Rentt
    A proper adventurer would report
[08:18] Rentt
    something as strange as a ghoul
    like me to the guild immediately.
[08:23] Rentt
    But I don't think she'll betray me.
[08:27] Rentt
    Even if I'm wrong, though, I'll cross
    that bridge when I come to it.
[08:40] Rina
    Excuse me!
[08:42] Sheila
    Aren't you...?
[08:47] Sheila
    You don't look hurt. I'm glad.
[08:50] Sheila
    I was worried because you didn't
    come back after sunset.
[08:55] Rina
    Well, a lot happened.
[08:58] Rina
    There's something I want
    to ask you, actually...
[09:08] Rentt
    I can't believe it... but I'm a lot
    stronger than I was as a human.
[09:13] Rentt
    It's not just that I'm stronger.
[09:15] Rentt
    My body moves exactly how I want it to!
[09:22] Rentt
    And I think my vision's better, too...
[09:25] Rentt
    No, this is probably just what
    they call combat intuition.
[09:29] Rentt
    Something you can't learn
    from training or studying.
[09:31] Rentt
    So this is how the world looked to all
    the adventurers that succeeded...
[09:36] Rentt
    To think I only got the power I wanted
    most after I ended up in this body...
[09:41] Rina
    Rentt?
[09:43] Rina
    Rentt, where are you?
[09:50] Rina
    Rentt?
[09:53] Rentt
    S-She really came back...
[09:57] Rina
    Rentt!
[10:02] Rina
    Um... you're Rentt, right?
[10:06] Rina
    Or are you another ghoul, perhaps?
[10:09] Rentt
    I'm Rentt.
[10:11] Rentt
    Ghouls don't show up on the
    early levels like this.
[10:16] Rina
    I see...
[10:19] Rina
    I feel like you've gotten a
    little better at talking.
[10:23] Rentt
    I-I practiced...
[10:26] Rina
    G-Great idea!
[10:28] Rina
    Oh, right. This is what you
    asked for and your change.
[10:40] Rina
    S-Sorry... I'm still a little scared.
[10:45] Rina
    Give me a little more time... Just a
    little more time until I get used to you!
[10:49] Rentt
    No, it's fine...
[10:53] Rentt
    Now, may I look at the clothes?
[10:56] Rina
    Of course! Go ahead!
[11:05] Rentt
    Wow.
[11:07] Rina
    Do you like them?
[11:09] Rentt
    Yes.
[11:11] Rentt
    A plain color that nobody
    would give a second glance,
[11:14] Rentt
    and a robe that conceals the whole body,
    like a mage would wear! Wonderful!
[11:19] Rentt
    It's perfect!
[11:22] Rina
    I brought other things I
    thought you might need.
[11:25] Rina
    I just got to Maalt, so I had someone
    in the guild show me the best shops.
[11:35] Rina
    It felt like a bad idea to let
    anyone see your arms or legs...
[11:40] Rentt
    What a kind, considerate girl!
[11:45] Rentt
    I feel like I could cry!
    Except I physically can't!
[11:49] Rina
    Rentt?
[11:50] Rentt
    No, it's nothing...
[11:53] Rentt
    I'll try them on right away.
[12:01] Rentt
    It's easier to move in this than I thought.
[12:04] Rentt
    I lose some visibility, but it would be
    easy enough to fight a monster or two...
[12:08] Rina
    How do you like them?
[12:10] Rentt
    They're perfect.
[12:11] Rina
    Great!
[12:13] Rina
    You look pretty imposing,
    too. Almost like a wight!
[12:21] Rentt
    I stand out too much...
[12:25] Rentt
    I guess that won't work.
[12:26] Rina
    Um, how about this?
[12:31] Rentt
    What's this?
[12:33] Rina
    I thought it might be a bad idea for you to try to
    go into town with your face looking like that.
[12:39] Rentt
    Thank you...
[12:50] Rina
    When I first saw you, I thought
    you were a rare or named monster.
[12:55] Rentt
    A special type of monster,
    huh? You may be right.
[13:08] Rina
    You look great!
[13:13] Rentt
    I can't get it off.
[13:23] Rentt
    No luck...
[13:24] Rina
    I'm sorry.
[13:26] Rina
    I saw it at a market stall and
    couldn't stop thinking about it...
[13:30] Rina
    But looking back, it did
    seem a little suspicious.
[13:33] Rentt
    A market stall? Not a place
    introduced by the guild?
[13:37] Rina
    It wasn't. The mask was the one thing
    I bought at that market stall.
[13:40] Rina
    It was shockingly cheap.
[13:43] Rentt
    How much?
[13:45] Rina
    Three coppers.
[13:47] Rentt
    That's three loaves of bread.
[13:50] Rina
    Yeah, that's just too cheap.
[13:53] Rina
    I did check for curses! And nothing
    happened when I touched it...
[14:00] Rentt
    A curse that activates
    when you put it on, huh?
[14:03] Rentt
    I really do have the worst luck...
[14:06] Rentt
    Let me try this out.
[14:10] Rina
    You can use divinity?!
[14:12] Rentt
    Just a little...
[14:15] Rentt
    Now that I have more divinity, I might
    be able to break a basic curse.
[14:25] Rentt
    I'm out of energy...
[14:29] Rina
    No luck?
[14:30] Rina
    I'm so sorry for bringing you a cursed item!
[14:34] Rentt
    It's fine!
[14:36] Rina
    But it's all my fault!
[14:39] Rentt
    Right now, I need to
    hide my face anyway...
[14:44] Rentt
    It responded to the divinity.
[14:47] Rentt
    I just need to save up money and ask
    a powerful cleric to break the curse.
[14:53] Rentt
    So don't worry about it...
[14:58] Rentt
    I'm sorry.
[15:02] Rentt
    What...?
[15:05] Rina
    I can tell...
[15:08] Rina
    you're not a bad person.
[15:11] Rina
    So I'm not scared anymore!
[15:15] Rina
    I'm... not scared.
[15:22] Rentt
    Thank you.
[15:25] Rentt
    But you don't have to force yourself...
    until the day when you really are used to me.
[15:32] Rina
    It won't take long at all!
    It won't! I'm sure of it!
[15:38] Rina
    Now Rentt, let's head back to Maalt.
[15:48] Rina
    I registered as an adventurer
    in the capital city guild.
[15:52] Rina
    But there are a lot of famous
    adventurers there...
[15:56] Rina
    Since there weren't any
    jobs for rookies like me,
[15:59] Rina
    they recommended I come to Maalt.
[16:01] Rina
    There are two labyrinths
    close by, for one thing.
[16:03] Rentt
    A good choice.
[16:06] Rentt
    But I'm surprised you were willing to
    come all the way out to the countryside.
[16:10] Rina
    I wanted to see the outside
    world, and more than anything,
[16:14] Rina
    I want to get stronger and become
    a full-fledged adventurer fast!
[16:18] Rentt
    I understand how you feel. But it's better
    for an adventurer to be a coward.
[16:25] Rentt
    You've only got one life.
[16:31] Rina
    Yes!
[16:32] Rentt
    Guys like me are pretty rare.
[16:53] Rina
    What's wrong?
[16:55] Rentt
    A lot of people here know me.
[16:58] Rentt
    They'll know something's
    wrong if I show my ID.
[17:02] Rina
    Then shall we go in from a different gate?
[17:05] Rentt
    Yes. One that's not normally used.
[17:10] Rina
    All right. We'll head to the west gate, then.
[17:15] Rentt
    Rina, thanks.
[17:20] Rentt
    I only made it this far thanks to you.
[17:24] Rina
    No, don't act like we're saying goodbye!
[17:27] Rina
    I'll help you as much as I can until
    we get in town. No, even after that!
[17:32] Rentt
    Yes, I do need someone to help me. But...
[17:38] Rentt
    I'm a monster. If you help me get
    inside, you'll be a criminal.
[17:45] Rentt
    You might lose your adventurer's license.
[17:51] Rentt
    I don't want to cause trouble for you.
[17:56] Rina
    Um...
[17:58] Rina
    If I hadn't met you, I'd be dead.
[18:02] Rina
    So at least once, I think it's okay
    for me to risk my life for you!
[18:08] Rina
    Now let's go, Rentt!
[18:14] Soldiers
    We're about to close the gate!
[18:16] Soldiers
    Next!
[18:19] Soldiers
    A man and a woman?
[18:21] Soldiers
    Show us your IDs.
[18:24] Soldiers
    Adventurers?
[18:26] Soldiers
    Rentt Faina the bronze-class, and
    Rina Rupaage the iron-class, right?
[18:30] Soldiers
    Fine.
[18:35] Soldiers
    You've got quite an unusual appearance.
[18:38] Rentt
    Do I?
[18:40] Soldiers
    Have you seen him before?
[18:43] Soldiers
    You ever been to Maalt?
[18:47] Soldiers
    Let us see your face!
[18:50] Rina
    I'm sorry... His mask is cursed,
    and he can't take it off!
[18:55] Soldiers
    Cursed?
[18:56] Soldiers
    Is that why he talks weird?
[18:58] Rina
    That's because he was horribly
    injured after fighting a monster..
[19:07] Rina
    He bought the mask to hide the
    scars, and it was cursed.
[19:11] Rina
    Now he can't take it off.
[19:14] Soldiers
    That's awful luck.
[19:16] Rentt
    Try to pull it off yourself, please.
[19:19] Rina
    It's safe to touch!
[19:21] Rina
    I've touched it too.
[19:25] Soldiers
    Okay!
[19:28] Soldiers
    It really won't come off!
[19:30] Rina
    We need to donate a lot to the
    church to have a cleric remove it.
[19:35] Rina
    And we're having trouble
    saving up the money...
[19:38] Soldiers
    That's rough.
[19:41] Soldiers
    Fine! You may pass!
[19:47] Soldiers
    Okay, next!
[19:49] Rina
    We did it, Rentt!
[19:51] Rentt
    It's all... thanks to you.
[19:54] Rentt
    Thank you.
[19:56] Rina
    I'm just repaying the debt I owe you!
[20:03] Rina
    What's the plan now?
[20:07] Rina
    Huh? Rentt?
[20:09] Rina
    Rentt? Rentt?
[20:12] Rina
    Rentt? Where did you go?
[20:15] Rentt
    She really is a good kid.
[20:18] Rentt
    Her equipment's cheap, but
    it's been well-maintained.
[20:21] Rentt
    She has a knack for swinging that
    sword, and she's pretty smart.
[20:24] Rentt
    Brave, too.
[20:25] Rentt
    She'll make a fine adventurer. I can tell.
[20:30] Rentt
    All the people I know with talent like
    that left me behind really fast...
[20:35] Rentt
    I'm sorry. When I look a little
    more human, I'll come apologize.
[20:45] Rentt
    Now, it's hard to manipulate
    a kind girl like Rina...
[20:49] Rentt
    but I do need a human cooperator.
[20:52] Rentt
    Somebody who's got a bit of a past,
    and who can be trusted to keep secrets.
[21:21] Rentt
    Lorraine...
[21:24] Rentt
    Lorraine... wake up.
[21:27] Rentt
    I said wake up!
[21:30] Lorraine
    Let me sleep just a little more...
[21:34] Rentt
    I'll drop a book on your head.
[21:39] Lorraine
    Please don't do that...
[21:47] Lorraine
    Rentt, you...?!
[21:51] Lorraine
    Oh, it's just a mask.
    Don't scare me like that.
[22:01] Lorraine
    Rentt... What happened?
