**[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.
