[00:07] Rentt
    One bronze piece for a job payment, huh?
[00:11] Rentt
    That basically means working for free,
[00:13] Rentt
    but a surprising amount of
    adventurers will take it.
[00:16] Rentt
    We're not doing this just for the money.
[00:18] Rentt
    Sometimes, we'll take jobs to help people.
[00:21] Rentt
    Well, the guild wouldn't
    take a job request like
[00:26] Rentt
    "Defeat the Legendary Lord of the Lake."
[00:29] Sheila
    Any jobs catch your eye?
[00:31] Rentt
    Sheila?
[00:33] Rentt
    Don't worry.
[00:34] Rentt
    I'm not going into the Labyrinth
    for a while, just like I promised.
[00:37] Sheila
    Oh, no... I thought I could help
    if you were looking for a quick job.
[00:43] Rentt
    Great.
[00:44] Rentt
    Is nobody going to take this quest?
[00:47] Sheila
    Oh, the one with the single
    bronze piece reward?
[00:51] Sheila
    It's a guild tradition, so everyone
    at least thinks about it.
[00:56] Sheila
    But it's pretty difficult...
[00:58] Rentt
    Gathering a Dragonblood Flower...
[01:00] Sheila
    Yeah.
[01:01] Sheila
    They only bloom next to poisonous swamps.
[01:05] Sheila
    The story about them is
    so wonderful, though...
[01:07] Rentt
    A dragon fell in love with a human woman...
[01:11] Rentt
    His blood became a bright red flower
    called the Dragonblood Flower.
[01:16] Rentt
    A rather gruesome story.
[01:20] Sheila
    Girls who receive that flower
    are said to be loved forever.
[01:25] Rentt
    Well, I have heard that story.
[01:29] Rentt
    But for this job, they want
    it as medicine, right?
[01:31] Sheila
    Yes. It's a job from the
    children at an orphanage.
[01:36] Sheila
    They say they need the Dragonblood Flower
    to save someone they care about.
[01:40] Rentt
    I see.
[01:43] Sheila
    Rentt, are you...
SIGN    Dragonblood
    Flower
[03:19] Rentt
    So this is the place, huh?
[03:21] Rentt
    It's more run-down than I expected.
[03:26] Rentt
    Oh...
[03:29] Rentt
    Oh, right.
[03:30] Rentt
    I might be able to use the fluids
    from that slime to fix it.
[03:37] Rentt
    Well, that kind of worked...
[03:45] Alize
    Coming!
[03:48] Alize
    I'm sorry. Headmistress
    Lillian isn't in right now.
[03:52] Alize
    You'll have to come back another time...
[03:56] Rentt
    I'm an adventurer. I took
    the job at the guild.
[03:59] Alize
    Oh, I was sure you were a debt collector.
[04:03] Rentt
    I see.
[04:05] Alize
    Please, come in.
[04:07] Alize
    It's a little cramped, but...
[04:08] Rentt
    Thank you.
[04:15] Alize
    Everyone, be on your best behavior.
[04:17] Alize
    He's an adventurer.
[04:20] Kids
    Wow, you're an adventurer?
[04:23] Kids
    Is that sword real?
[04:24] Kids
    Are you strong?
[04:25] Kids
    Why are you dressed so weird?
[04:27] Alize
    Hey! I told you all that adventurers
    are dangerous barbarians,
[04:32] Alize
    so you needed to stay away from them!
[04:34] Kids
    Sorry...
[04:37] Alize
    Um, I'm sorry...
[04:39] Alize
    I didn't mean you specifically.
[04:41] Rentt
    No, it actually makes me feel better.
[04:45] Rentt
    Adventurers can be the rowdy sort.
[04:48] Rentt
    It's only natural to be cautious.
[04:53] Rentt
    Listen, everyone.
[04:54] Rentt
    You need to stay away from
    weird-looking adults.
[04:58] Kids
    Okay.
[05:01] Rentt
    They seem like good kids.
[05:03] Alize
    I apologize.
[05:05] Rentt
    It can be dangerous to be too trusting,
[05:07] Rentt
    but it just shows they've
    had a happy upbringing.
[05:11] Alize
    Yes! Headmistress Lillian is a great woman!
[05:15] Alize
    I mean, a wonderful lady!
[05:18] Rentt
    You can speak normally around me.
[05:20] Alize
    But...
[05:22] Rentt
    You should be more polite
    around adults, yes.
[05:25] Rentt
    But I don't mind.
[05:27] Alize
    You won't get mad later?
[05:29] Rentt
    Of course not.
[05:30] Rentt
    My name is Rentt Vivie.
[05:32] Rentt
    I'm a Bronze-class adventurer.
[05:34] Alize
    Bronze? I was sure the best
    we'd get was an Iron-class.
[05:40] Rentt
    You know a lot about us.
[05:42] Rentt
    Did you make the request?
[05:43] Alize
    Yes. My name is Alize.
[05:47] Rentt
    Then Alize, let's talk about the job.
[05:50] Rentt
    Dragonblood Flowers aren't easy to get.
[05:54] Alize
    I know.
[05:56] Alize
    You can barely find them at any stores.
[05:58] Alize
    And even if you do, they're very expensive.
[06:01] Rentt
    But you need one anyway.
[06:03] Alize
    Yes.
[06:04] Rentt
    I want to know more.
[06:07] Alize
    All right. But you'll need to keep our secret.
[06:11] Rentt
    Secret?
[06:13] Lilian
    I'm sorry I can't get out
    of bed to welcome you.
[06:17] Lilian
    My name is Lillian June. I'm a priestess
    of the Eastern Sky Church.
[06:23] Rentt
    I'm Rentt Vivie. An adventurer.
[06:27] Lilian
    I'm so glad you're helping to clean
    out the orphanage's basement,
[06:31] Lilian
    even though we can only
    pay such a small amount.
[06:33] Lilian
    Thank you, so much.
[06:35] Rentt
    Well, it's a good change of pace.
[06:37] Lilian
    The basement is small, but
    monsters do appear down there,
[06:41] Lilian
    so I can't have the children doing it.
[06:44] Alize
    Rest, Headmistress!
[06:46] Alize
    I'll tell him the rest.
[06:50] Lilian
    Thank you, Alize.
[06:56] Alize
    Her disease is called Malaccumula.
[07:01] Rentt
    Malaccumula?
[07:03] Alize
    Yes.
[07:04] Alize
    She's a divinity user.
[07:07] Alize
    But if your divinity isn't strong,
[07:10] Alize
    each time you use it there's a reaction that
    causes evil energy to accumulate in the body.
[07:15] Alize
    It won't kill her anytime soon, but...
[07:19] Rentt
    I didn't know there was such a thing.
[07:21] Alize
    We had a healer look at
    her, so it has to be that.
[07:25] Alize
    The only way to heal it is with the blood
    of a holy maiden, or a special medicine.
[07:31] Rentt
    I see.
[07:33] Rentt
    And you need the Dragonblood Flower
    to make this special medicine?
[07:38] Alize
    Yes.
[07:39] Rentt
    She doesn't know what her
    disease is, does she?
[07:42] Alize
    She doesn't.
[07:43] Alize
    If she knew, she'd have another
    priestess take over the orphanage.
[07:50] Rentt
    And then she'd leave the orphanage,
[07:53] Rentt
    and accept the disease
    as the will of heaven...
[08:00] Rentt
    Well, we'll need to get the Dragonblood
    Flower before that happens, then.
[08:05] Alize
    I was sure nobody would take the job...
[08:08] Rentt
    You were?
[08:09] Alize
    But if that happened, I was going to become
    an adventurer and go get it myself!
[08:16] Alize
    I've got a little bit of mana, you know.
[08:19] Rentt
    But you don't have time to learn
    how to be an adventurer...
[08:24] Alize
    I can really ask you to do it?
[08:27] Rentt
    Yeah. I'll get it for you. I promise.
[08:32] Alize
    Thank you, Rentt!
[08:33] Rentt
    But first...
[08:36] Rentt
    I'll clean up that basement.
[08:52] Rentt
    You don't need to follow me.
[08:54] Alize
    No, you're fighting monsters, right?
[08:57] Rentt
    I don't think it's that fun to watch, but...
[09:01] Rentt
    You can't use a sword
    in a room this cramped.
[09:05] Rentt
    Take it, just in case.
[09:07] Alize
    Okay.
[09:10] Rentt
    Looks like they're here.
[09:12] Alize
    Huh? Really?
[09:17] Rentt
    Pretty big, for a puchi suri.
[09:38] Rentt
    What?
[09:44] Rentt
    It changed color?
[09:46] Rentt
    This feeling...
[09:47] Rentt
    Don't tell me...
[09:49] Rentt
    Spin around three times in a circle.
[10:00] Lorraine
    Rentt, what's that chubby little
    black rat on your shoulder?
[10:05] Rentt
    It joined my party in the
    orphanage's basement.
[10:09] Lorraine
    You're skipping a lot there.
[10:12] Lorraine
    Vampires have the power to
    make and control familiars.
[10:17] Lorraine
    I didn't know you could do
    the same thing, though.
[10:19] Rentt
    I guess I can.
[10:21] Lorraine
    True. I hadn't actually done any
    experiments to see what would happen
[10:24] Lorraine
    if I gave your blood to
    another creature yet.
[10:27] Rentt
    Can I keep him?
[10:28] Lorraine
    Sure, if you want.
[10:30] Lorraine
    We've already got an undead living here.
[10:33] Lorraine
    A rat or two won't change a thing.
[10:38] Lorraine
    He'll have to pay rent, though.
[10:41] Rentt
    Rent?
[10:42] Lorraine
    I want samples of his blood and hair.
[10:45] Lorraine
    There's a lot I want to try.
[10:48] Lorraine
    And I also want to do an ecology study.
[10:51] Lorraine
    What do you eat?
[10:54] Rentt
    Hey!
[10:55] Lorraine
    I see. Just like your dad, then.
[10:59] Lorraine
    I guess my blood is quite popular.
[11:02] Lorraine
    Hey, what are you going to call him?
[11:05] Rentt
    Blackie, 'cause he's black.
[11:08] Lorraine
    You could put a little more thought into it.
[11:10] Lorraine
    Fine. I'll name him.
[11:13] Lorraine
    How about "Edel"?
[11:17] Lorraine
    An excellent name, yes?
[11:18] Lorraine
    It means "Noble One" in the ancient tongue.
[11:21] Lorraine
    I heard you were the leader
    of the other puchi suri.
[11:25] Rentt
    He seems satisfied.
[11:27] Lorraine
    You can communicate with him?
[11:29] Rentt
    I can't speak his language, but I
    can kinda tell what he's thinking.
[11:33] Lorraine
    From now on, then, you're Edel.
[11:36] Lorraine
    And I'm the one who named you.
[11:39] Rentt
    Hey, I'm your master, okay?
[11:48] Rentt
    Since I became an undead, I stopped
    needing sleep almost entirely.
[11:53] Rentt
    I thought about never leaving the labyrinth,
[11:56] Rentt
    but people would get suspicious of an
    adventurer that never took any rest.
[12:03] Rentt
    These hours are so incredibly boring...
[12:09] Rentt
    Come in.
[12:13] Lorraine
    You're leaving early in the morning, right?
[12:15] Lorraine
    Why not fill your belly, first?
[12:21] Rentt
    I wonder if it's a sign it'll snow today...
[12:23] Lorraine
    Don't be ridiculous.
[12:25] Lorraine
    I can cook too, you know.
[12:28] Rentt
    I do know.
[12:30] Lorraine
    Then you know how dangerous the
    Tarasque Swamp is too, then.
[12:34] Rentt
    How did you know where I'm going?
[12:37] Rentt
    Well, I guess you would.
[12:40] Lorraine
    Of course I do.
[12:41] Lorraine
    That's the only swamp around here where
    you can find a Dragonblood Flower.
[12:45] Rentt
    Yeah.
[12:47] Lorraine
    Are you going alone?
[12:48] Rentt
    If I go alone, I won't have
    to worry about the poison.
[12:52] Lorraine
    There's Tarasque there. A type of wyvern.
[12:54] Lorraine
    Even Bronze-class adventurers
    would take a party to go there.
[12:57] Rentt
    I'm not going to fight.
[12:58] Lorraine
    What?
[13:00] Rentt
    I bought this for cheap at a roadside stall.
[13:02] Lorraine
    Holy water?
[13:04] Lorraine
    Yes, they do say you can keep Tarasque
    away by using holy water, but...
[13:10] Lorraine
    It doesn't always work.
[13:12] Rentt
    Well, it'll work out.
[13:15] Lorraine
    Listen, you...
[13:17] Rentt
    It would be a waste to let this get cold.
[13:19] Rentt
    I'll eat it while it's still hot.
[13:25] Lorraine
    Is it good?
[13:27] Rentt
    Yeah.
[13:28] Rentt
    I haven't enjoyed normal food
    this much in a long time.
[13:33] Lorraine
    I put a drop of my blood in it.
[13:36] Rentt
    So that's why...
[13:39] Lorraine
    Like it?
[13:41] Rentt
    Yeah.
[13:43] Lorraine
    I'll make you another
    batch when you get back.
[13:56] Man
    We're here, mister.
[13:58] Rentt
    Thanks.
[14:05] Man
    This is as far as I can take you.
[14:07] Man
    I'll come and get you this evening.
[14:10] Rentt
    Thanks.
[14:16] Rentt
    The poison doesn't bother you?
[14:20] Rentt
    Well, I can purify it with
    my divinity if I have to.
[14:24] Rentt
    It'll be fine.
[14:26] Rentt
    The Tarasque Swamp.
[14:28] Rentt
    It has another name, but nobody uses it.
[14:33] Rentt
    There are rare animals and plants
    that can only be found here,
[14:37] Rentt
    so it's been made at least passable.
[14:40] Rentt
    Nobody wants to stick their
    foot into a poison swamp.
[14:51] Rentt
    Monsters found in the wild are stronger
    than the ones in the labyrinth.
[14:56] Rentt
    That's because they use weapons,
    or know how to fight in groups.
[15:00] Rentt
    They're tough opponents, but
    now I'm strong enough to...
[15:10] Rentt
    Easily defeat a few goblins.
[15:16] Rentt
    Next time, you work, too.
[15:19] Rentt
    You don't think that you're the master
    in this relationship, do you?
[15:25] Rentt
    Sheesh...
[15:29] Rentt
    It sure is handy being undead, though!
[15:33] Rentt
    I have poison resistance, for one thing.
[15:34] Rentt
    If I could just do something
    about my appearance,
[15:36] Rentt
    I might be willing to
    stay like this forever!
[15:39] Rentt
    I could probably never get married, though.
[15:45] Rentt
    He jumped and let me fall, the bastard.
[15:52] Rentt
    I've got some horrible luck today.
[16:03] Rentt
    I can't let my guard down for a moment.
[16:13] Rentt
    Are all vampire familiars like this?
[16:18] Sheila
    Thank you for the meal.
[16:20] Sheila
    It was delicious.
[16:22] Lorraine
    You liked it?
[16:24] Lorraine
    Rentt certainly enjoyed it.
[16:26] Sheila
    But isn't Rentt...
[16:29] Lorraine
    I mixed my blood in with it.
[16:33] Lorraine
    Don't worry. Just in his portion.
[16:38] Lorraine
    Anyway, I'm surprised the guild's already
    aware of what happened at Tottsu village.
[16:43] Sheila
    We had to help transport the criminals.
[16:46] Sheila
    The villagers were very grateful
    to the adventurer who helped them.
[16:51] Sheila
    They refused to say his name no matter
    how many times we asked, though.
[16:56] Lorraine
    So you came to talk to him directly?
[16:59] Sheila
    I assume he wouldn't want to
    talk about it at the guild...
[17:02] Lorraine
    Knowing Rentt, he assumed that even
    if he was the hero of that story,
[17:06] Lorraine
    any association of him and the word "kidnapping"
    would just make people more suspicious.
[17:11] Lorraine
    He can sometimes do things
    you'd never expect him to,
[17:14] Lorraine
    but he does know how to
    think things through.
[17:17] Sheila
    You know him well.
[17:19] Lorraine
    I've known him a long time, after all.
[17:22] Sheila
    Then do you know...?
[17:25] Lorraine
    Know what?
[17:28] Sheila
    Why becoming a Mythril-class
    adventurer is so important to him.
[17:37] Lorraine
    Nope.
[17:39] Lorraine
    I've never heard him talk
    about that, actually.
[17:42] Sheila
    You haven't?
[17:44] Lorraine
    I've been told that adventurers don't
    ask each other about their pasts.
[17:49] Lorraine
    Part of it is that I don't
    want to get too nosy, but...
[17:52] Lorraine
    you know how he is.
[17:55] Sheila
    You don't worry?
[17:57] Sheila
    Even with the job he's on today...
    he might have to fight a Tarasque.
[18:01] Lorraine
    What a strange thing to say.
[18:03] Lorraine
    The guild puts a lot of work into
    making sure adventurers only take jobs
[18:07] Lorraine
    appropriate for their strength, right?
[18:08] Sheila
    Of course. We judged him strong enough
    for the task before giving it to him.
[18:14] Lorraine
    Then what's the problem?
[18:17] Lorraine
    I'll defer to the opinion of
    our talented guild staff.
[18:22] Lorraine
    And what's more...
[18:24] Lorraine
    Even if something does happen...
[18:27] Lorraine
    an adventurer always finds a way, right?
[18:32] Rentt
    Damn it! I should've known that
    holy water was too cheap to work!
[18:38] Rentt
    A dead end...
[18:43] Rentt
    I'll have to fight, huh?
[18:56] Rentt
    Too bad.
[18:58] Rentt
    Poison won't work on me.
[19:01] Rentt
    I don't think I can defeat you
    with just my mana, either.
[19:17] Rentt
    It didn't work, huh?
[19:21] Rentt
    That's not good.
[19:24] Rentt
    Edel!
[19:29] Rentt
    Is that divinity? Is he using my power?
[19:37] Rentt
    Edel!
[19:48] Rentt
    Are you okay?
[19:51] Rentt
    Don't use my divinity without my okay.
[19:53] Rentt
    That did give me a good hint, though.
[20:34] Rentt
    I see. A Tarasque's
    weakness is divinity.
[20:39] Rentt
    Yeah. You helped, too.
[20:43] Rentt
    But I can't field dress it here.
    Not when it's this big...
[20:56] Rentt
    There we go.
[21:03] Rentt
    I've got bad luck. That's
    one thing I'm sure of.
[21:07] Rentt
    I was pretty sure I'd have
    to fight a Tarasque.
[21:11] Rentt
    Thanks to him, though,
    I've learned how to do it.
[21:16] Rentt
    I can find a lot of rare materials here, too.
[21:19] Rentt
    I'll come back soon.
[21:31] Rentt
    Are these all Dragonblood flowers?
[21:35] Rentt
    Their power is purifying this whole area.
[21:41] Rentt
    It's safe to take a few more
    than I came for, I'm sure.
[21:53] Isaac
    Oh my. I'm surprised to
    see someone else here.
