[00:06] Lorraine
    It's useless to try and find him myself...
[00:10] Lorraine
    Maybe I'll ask the guild to
    send out search parties.
[00:16] Lorraine
    This knock...
[00:19] Lorraine
    But why isn't he just coming in?
[00:28] Lorraine
    Something must've happened.
[00:34] Lorraine
    Well, as long as you're alive...
    that's all I care about.
[00:40] Rentt
    Lorraine...
[00:44] Rentt
    Lorraine... wake up.
[00:47] Rentt
    I said wake up!
[00:50] Lorraine
    Let me sleep just a little more...
[00:53] Rentt
    I'll drop a book on your head.
[00:58] Lorraine
    Please don't do that...
[01:07] Lorraine
    Rentt... What happened?
[02:41] Lorraine
    As you know, I study monsters and magic.
SIGN    The Undead
    Infiltrates the Town
[02:46] Lorraine
    But I've never heard of anyone who got eaten
    by a dragon and turned into an undead.
[02:50] Lorraine
    Is this "dragon" still in the labyrinth?
[02:53] Rentt
    I think it's gone...
[02:57] Lorraine
    I'm not sure I believe a word
    of what you're saying...
[03:01] Lorraine
    But I don't think I have a choice,
    given the way you look right now.
[03:10] Rentt
    Even seeing me like this,
    she's completely calm.
[03:13] Rentt
    That's Lorraine for you. Academic,
    mage, and adventurer.
[03:19] Rentt
    Though it feels like she's viewing me as less
    of a friend and more of a test subject...
[03:23] Lorraine
    Rentt.
[03:25] Lorraine
    I know this is a cruel thing
    to say, but are you...
[03:30] Lorraine
    Are you, now that you're
    undead, really Rentt Faina?
[03:38] Rentt
    I have the memories and mind of Rentt Faina.
[03:43] Rentt
    But I definitely died.
[03:47] Rentt
    Are the current me and the
    old me the same person?
[03:53] Rentt
    I don't know.
[03:54] Lorraine
    That answer seems like exactly
    what I'd expect Rentt to say.
[03:59] Lorraine
    But it's hard to say if you're
    really the same person.
[04:03] Lorraine
    But we'll set that problem aside for
    the moment. I'll think about it later.
[04:07] Lorraine
    So, what will you do now?
[04:12] Rentt
    I want to continue being an adventurer.
[04:16] Rentt
    I'm going to become mythril, no matter what.
[04:21] Rentt
    But I can't go to the guild like this.
[04:26] Lorraine
    So you want me to accept
    jobs for you, right?
[04:30] Lorraine
    Oh, you can't use the inn either, can you?
[04:32] Lorraine
    Stay here, then.
[04:34] Rentt
    I appreciate it, but...
[04:36] Rentt
    Are you sure?
[04:38] Lorraine
    It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
[04:40] Lorraine
    But I'm sure you'd feel awkward if
    I offered to let you stay for free.
[04:46] Lorraine
    So instead, you can help with my research.
[04:50] Lorraine
    No one's ever had the chance
    to study a monster that can
[04:53] Lorraine
    use existential evolution directly.
[04:55] Rentt
    You can't dissect me or anything.
[04:58] Lorraine
    What kind of monster do you take me for?
[05:03] Lorraine
    Well, I might ask for some
    skin and flesh, though.
[05:12] Lorraine
    Rentt, I'm back.
[05:15] Rentt
    Thanks.
[05:16] Lorraine
    Here's the money for the magic stones.
[05:18] Lorraine
    And this is the money for the slime liquid.
[05:22] Rentt
    You'll pay this much?
[05:24] Lorraine
    If I pay you directly, I can
    cut out the guild's fee.
[05:29] Lorraine
    And the materials you bring in
    are always of high quality.
[05:33] Lorraine
    They make for great beauty lotions.
[05:36] Rentt
    Okay, thanks...
[05:39] Rentt
    I'm off to the Three-Pronged Spear.
[05:42] Lorraine
    The blacksmith?
[05:43] Rentt
    Yeah.
[05:48] Lorraine
    Few things in life feel
    as nice as a heavy purse.
[06:04] Luca
    Welcome!
[06:07] Rentt
    Sorry I look so... strange.
[06:11] Luca
    No, don't let it bother you at all.
[06:14] Luca
    Come closer. May I ask what brings you here?
[06:18] Rentt
    I want a new sword.
[06:21] Luca
    Let me take a look.
[06:29] Luca
    It seems like you've been
    taking good care of it,
[06:32] Luca
    but it's at the limit of its lifespan.
[06:35] Luca
    From the look of the damage, I assume
    you either use magic or spirit energy?
[06:39] Rentt
    Yes, I use both.
[06:43] Rentt
    And divinity, too.
[06:46] Luca
    All of them? That's very rare.
[06:50] Luca
    You're only the second such
    person to ever visit our store.
[06:54] Rentt
    If you could keep it a secret...
[06:56] Luca
    Of course!
[06:59] Luca
    You can't be a blacksmith if you
    can't keep your customers' secrets.
[07:05] Rentt
    Will this be enough?
[07:11] Luca
    Yes. We should be able to
    make something quite nice.
[07:14] Luca
    Feel free to just pay half for the moment.
[07:16] Luca
    You can pay the remainder
    when you pick it up.
[07:19] Rentt
    That would be wonderful.
[07:21] Luca
    I'm afraid, however,
    that the owner, Clope,
[07:23] Luca
    takes a great deal of pride in his work.
[07:27] Luca
    It will take several days to do the work,
[07:29] Luca
    and he'll probably want to speak with you
    several times throughout the process.
[07:34] Rentt
    That's fine...
[07:36] Rentt
    When you want to see me,
    contact Lorraine, the academic.
[07:45] Luca
    Very well.
[07:48] Lorraine
    A ghoul... a lesser undead.
[07:51] Lorraine
    Strong physical abilities, and capable
    of surviving even decapitation.
[07:55] Lorraine
    They prefer the meat of
    animals, particularly humans.
[07:59] Lorraine
    Mostly found in the labyrinths.
[08:01] Lorraine
    Some theories say they are
    born from human corpses.
[08:05] Lorraine
    There are known cases of powerful monsters
    turning humans into lesser undead.
[08:11] Lorraine
    But in those cases, the victims not
    only lost their personalities,
[08:15] Lorraine
    they lost any kind of
    human will or emotion...
[08:21] Lorraine
    Rentt is an extremely special
    case. So I can't be sure, yet.
[08:27] Lorraine
    But the chance that he's the exact same
    being he was in life is extremely low.
[08:34] Lorraine
    But...
[08:36] Lorraine
    He feels like Rentt to me.
[08:40] Lorraine
    He's always...
[08:47] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Missy!
[08:49] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Yes?
[08:51] (Flashback) Adventurer
    You just took a job that'll send
    you to Azul Forest, right?
[08:55] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Take him with you as your pack bearer, then.
[09:01] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Nah, you don't have to pay him.
    He's an iron-class. A rookie.
[09:06] (Flashback) Adventurer
    I'd like you to help him
    gain some experience.
[09:15] (Flashback) Lorraine
    The leaves look different...
[09:18] (Flashback) Lorraine
    This isn't it, either.
[09:20] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Maybe the texts were wrong.
[09:25] Lorraine
    The world was such a boring
    place to me back then.
[09:30] Lorraine
    Even when I became the youngest person
    to ever attain the title of Great Doctor,
[09:34] Lorraine
    it meant nothing to me.
[09:39] Lorraine
    The title of Great Doctor allows one to
    register as a silver-class adventurer.
[09:44] Lorraine
    I went to the frontier nation of Yarlan
    without saying a word to anyone around me.
[09:51] Lorraine
    Ostensibly, I was there to
    gather some herbs I wanted.
[09:55] Lorraine
    But in fact, I just had
    nothing better to do.
[10:02] (Flashback) Lorraine
    This is it!
[10:03] (Flashback) Lorraine
    You need to harvest the root
    too, or it's less effective.
[10:07] (Flashback) Lorraine
    I need to be careful...
[10:17] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Hey, pack bearer!
[10:20] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Put this in the pack for me!
[10:31] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Hey, you can't just—
[10:36] (Flashback) Lorraine
    How did you know how to harvest these?
[10:49] (Flashback) Rentt
    Use Fortia Polivus!
[11:01] (Flashback) Rentt
    Incredible...
[11:03] (Flashback) Rentt
    I guess a silver-rank has magic
     on a whole other level...
[11:06] (Flashback) Lorraine
    No, it's nothing special...
[11:14] (Flashback) Rentt
    Here.
[11:16] (Flashback) Rentt
    Was that your first battle?
[11:19] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Of course not.
[11:23] (Flashback) Lorraine
    But I always had lots of escorts,
    or at least people with me...
[11:29] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Don't tell me you...
[11:31] (Flashback) Rentt
    You didn't seem very experienced
    for a silver-class.
[11:35] (Flashback) Rentt
    So everyone got worried and
    told me to follow you.
[11:40] (Flashback) Lorraine
    I see...
[11:43] (Flashback) Lorraine
    You know a lot about herbs, don't you?
[11:46] (Flashback) Rentt
    Someone once told me that if
    I wanted to be an adventurer,
[11:51] (Flashback) Rentt
    I should learn to read and write,
[11:55] (Flashback) Rentt
    and about plants, monsters,
    and anything else I could.
[12:01] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Hey, I didn't get your name.
[12:04] (Flashback) Rentt
    Oh, I'm Rentt.
[12:07] (Flashback) Rentt
    Rentt Faina.
[12:10] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Lorraine Vivie.
[12:11] (Flashback) Rentt
    Nice to meet you, Lorraine.
[12:15] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Hey...
[12:17] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Could you teach me, too?
[12:22] (Flashback) Lorraine
    About herbs, and how to fight...
[12:25] (Flashback) Lorraine
    You knew exactly how to move
    through the forest, too.
[12:29] (Flashback) Lorraine
    There's some trick to it, right?
[12:31] (Flashback) Rentt
    Well, I don't mind...
[12:35] (Flashback) Lorraine
    There's so much I want to know!
[12:39] Lorraine
    That's how things began
    between me and Rentt.
[12:44] Lorraine
    He kept working hard every single
    day for the next 10 years,
[12:49] Lorraine
    aiming to become mythril-class.
[12:51] Lorraine
    And I stayed by his side,
    doing the research I loved.
[12:56] Lorraine
    That was all I wanted.
[12:58] Lorraine
    Well, I did change, a little.
[13:02] Lorraine
    I can see, looking back, why the
    adults were worried about me.
[13:08] Lorraine
    I just realized I've been
    lax about replying to letters.
[13:12] Lorraine
    I don't want another
    lecture from the old men.
[13:18] Lorraine
    I'll have to ask Rentt where I put them...
[13:24] Rentt
    Thanks for making a new sword for me.
[13:27] Clope
    Yeah, I'll make sure it's something special.
[13:36] Rentt
    Thanks.
[13:40] Luca
    Use this until your sword is ready.
[13:47] Clope
    It can use magic and spirit energy.
[13:49] Clope
    Nothing else.
[13:52] Rentt
    Got it.
[13:59] Clope
    Looks like he's in a good bit of trouble.
[14:03] Luca
    Why doesn't he come to us for help?
[14:06] Luca
    Are we that untrustworthy?
[14:09] Clope
    I'm guessing that's a curse
    he's suffering from.
[14:14] Clope
    It's probably a nasty one. One
    he thinks might affect our shop.
[14:19] Luca
    How awful...
[14:20] Clope
    He doesn't like to cause
    trouble for other people.
[14:23] Clope
    But still, he said some things that
    would help us realize who he is, right?
[14:27] Luca
    He did. That he could use all types of power,
[14:31] Luca
    and that he was staying with Lorraine.
[14:33] Clope
    Right?
[14:34] Clope
    We can make him tell us
    the truth eventually.
[14:38] Clope
    It does look like he's going
    to keep coming to our shop.
[14:42] Luca
    Yes.
[14:46] Lorraine
    It's delicious!
[14:47] Lorraine
    It's been too long since
    you've cooked for me!
[14:49] Rentt
    There's more if you want it.
[14:52] Lorraine
    Sure.
[14:54] Lorraine
    You're not eating?
[14:56] Rentt
    I don't get hungry.
[14:59] Lorraine
    I see...
[15:01] Lorraine
    Good, then.
[15:03] Lorraine
    Rentt, while you were out, I
    read over all my books again.
[15:09] Lorraine
    It's clear that you're different
    from an ordinary ghoul.
[15:13] Lorraine
    That's probably got something to do with
    the reason you can existential evolve...
[15:18] Lorraine
    What will you become next?
[15:23] Rentt
    I don't know.
[15:25] Rentt
    But I want to be as close to human as I can.
[15:29] Lorraine
    I guess that's the first step.
[15:31] Rentt
    And for that, I'll aim for my
    next existential evolution.
[15:36] Lorraine
    Then it's back to the
    labyrinth for a while.
[15:38] Rentt
    Yeah. I'll defeat monsters and get stronger.
[15:45] Rentt
    No, I was just thinking that
    you really don't change.
[15:56] Lorris
    Damn it!
[16:12] Rentt
    You okay?
[16:14] Lorris
    Y-Yeah!
[16:17] Lorris
    Thanks, you saved my life.
[16:20] Lorris
    I didn't expect a slime
    to attack like that...
[16:24] Lorris
    I got a little cut. It's
    nothing bad, though.
[16:30] Lorris
    Hey!
[16:31] Rentt
    Adventurers are expected to be
    responsible for themselves.
[16:35] Rentt
    If you die in the labyrinth, it's
    your fault, no matter what.
[16:38] Rentt
    No one is obligated to help
    an adventurer in a bad spot.
[16:39] Lorris
    Hey, wait!
[16:42] Rentt
    There are even awful people out there
[16:43] Rentt
    who'll pretend to be in trouble and rob
    adventurers who come to help them,
[16:48] Rentt
    though they're rare in Maalt.
[16:49] Lorris
    You're strong, aren't I?
[16:50] Rentt
    I still always try to save
    as many as I can, but...
[16:54] Lorris
    Please! Let me join your party!
[16:59] Lorris
    I need... I need the money.
[17:02] Lorris
    As you can see, I just
    registered as an adventurer.
[17:06] Lorris
    I can't even fight a slime!
[17:08] Rentt
    Slimes are strong.
[17:11] Lorris
    Th-They are?
[17:12] Rentt
    They're hard for swordsmen to fight.
[17:14] Lorris
    So you are a veteran, aren't you?
[17:18] Lorris
    I'm a chef. I've got a restaurant in Maalt.
[17:22] Lorris
    But I'm badly in debt, and I need
    to repay 15 gold by next week.
[17:28] Lorris
    I figured I've got no choice but to take
    a chance and become an adventurer.
[17:32] Lorris
    I told everybody that I'd do whatever they
    wanted, as long as they let me in their party.
[17:37] Lorris
    But nobody would give me a chance.
[17:39] Lorris
    So I came here, since they said you
    could go into this labyrinth alone.
[17:43] Rentt
    That's only if you're
    actually kind of strong...
[17:49] Rentt
    Sorry, but I'm busy.
[17:57] Rentt
    I'd love to help him, but unless he got
    really lucky and found a magic item...
[18:04] Rentt
    Wait.
[18:07] Rentt
    Hey.
[18:09] Rentt
    You can come with me after all.
[18:11] Rentt
    I assume you can at least carry a pack.
[18:15] Lorris
    Wait! You're sure?
[18:18] Rentt
    Yeah.
[18:19] Lorris
    Hooray!
[18:21] Rentt
    I don't know if he's a good guy or not,
[18:25] Rentt
    but it won't hurt to try
    and help someone out.
[18:27] Lorris
    I'm pretty strong, you know.
    I'll do whatever you need.
[18:33] Rentt
    Sometimes I get really scared...
[18:37] Rentt
    Am I really me?
[18:39] (Flashback) Lorraine
    Are you, now that you're
    undead, really Rentt Faina?
[18:45] Rentt
    This isn't good...
[18:54] Lorris
    Hey, this is a dead end, right?
[18:57] Rentt
    Just follow me.
[19:07] Lorris
    Huh? There's a corridor.
[19:09] Lorris
    The map says it's a dead end.
[19:12] Rentt
    Let's go.
[19:21] Lorris
    You're kidding me...
[19:23] Lorris
    There's a place like this down here in
    the Labyrinth of the Moon's Reflection?
[19:28] Rentt
    No dragon, huh?
[19:46] Rentt
    I figured there'd be a
    magic item or two, but...
[19:50] Lorris
    Hey, I found a little gap over here!
[19:58] Lorris
    A hidden passage?
[20:00] Lorris
    Hey, wouldn't we make a fortune
    if we told the guild about this?
[20:06] Lorris
    N-No, I mean, of course I know
    you're the one who found it!
[20:11] Lorris
    I just followed you here.
[20:14] Lorris
    There's no way I could take the credit.
[20:18] Rentt
    I'm not interested in glory.
[20:22] Rentt
    Tell everyone you found it.
[20:25] Rentt
    But come on ahead with me.
[20:38] Rentt
    Damn it! Another empty room?
[20:42] Rentt
    Let's look for secret passages.
[20:44] Rentt
    Nobody's come here. There should
    be at least a treasure or two.
[20:45] Rentt
    Wait!
[20:53] Rentt
    Hey!
[20:53] Lorris
    It's fine!
[20:55] Lorris
    There are no monsters here or anything.
[20:58] Rentt
    He can't see it?
[21:00] Lorris
    Stop!
[21:05] Lorris
    No...
[21:08] Lorris
    A teleportation circle...?
[21:10] Lorris
    Step on a teleportation circle and
    you'll be sent somewhere else.
[21:14] Lorris
    Usually a lower floor filled
    with strong monsters,
[21:17] Lorris
    or some place with deadly traps...
[21:21] Lorris
    The smart thing to do
    would be to abandon him,
[21:24] Lorris
    but if I do that, I'm just
    a monster, aren't I?
[21:27] Lorris
    Damn it...
[21:39] Lorris
    Hey!
[21:47] Lorris
    A giant... skeleton...
[21:52] Lorris
    A boss room, huh?
