01x02 - Departure, with the Slimes

[bunniefuu]

I'm Reinbach Jamil,
the father of Reinhart,

the former lord of the Jamil family.

-Pleased to meet you.
-It's nice to meet you.

I'm Reinhart's wife, Elise Jamil.

Thank you very much for helping
my husband and his subordinates.

You're welcome.

This is my daughter, Eliaria.

My name is Eliaria Jamil.

Pleased to meet you.

Well…

How do you do?
My name is Ryoma Takebayashi.

Thank you for coming
all the way to visit me.

Please make yourselves at home.

It's okay.

We apologize for coming uninvited.

I heard you have a contract with Slimes,
but I wasn't expecting this many.

Am I seeing things?
They seem to have increased.

They divided again.

Can they fit inside the house?

I have a way to do so.

You do?

Yes, this is how it goes.

Guys, merge!

More than 100 Slimes of the same kind
will merge like this.

I can then shrink it.

This saves both space and food.

What…

It's a Big Slime.

Amazing!

-Did you bond with a Big Slime?
-Yes.

Nobody has been able
to bond with a Big Slime!

The familiar bonding is useless!

Nobody has ever done it!

Well, the Big Slime
might seem to have only one core,

but it's actually the fusion
of over 100 cores.

It's unlikely to bond with 100 Slimes
at the same time.

So I had to do it one by one,
and then merge them.

Well…

That's great!

Amazing!

You just solved
every familiar conjurer's problem!

What?

Please calm down, ma'am.

You're scaring Mr. Ryoma.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

But bonding with over 100 Slimes
is really remarkable.

Yes, I never thought that in my lifetime.

We'd be able to prove why it's impossible
to bond with a Big Slime.

It should make the headlines
of the Tamer's Guild.

The Tamer's Guild?
Is there really such an organization?

Well, let's not stand around.
Please come inside.

You're right. Thanks for having us.

Shrink!

So then,

I was a bit…

No, I was so amazed
that I forgot why we're here.

Ryoma, this is to thank you for your help.

What a beautiful clock.

Excuse me, but I noticed that
you didn't have a clock.

But…

It's okay. Just accept it.

This is nothing compared
to what you did for us.

It's not from you anyway.

That's true.

Thank you. I appreciate it very much.

I'll cherish it.

We've come to the woods
to see you for another matter.

Another matter?

Our family has always been
familiar mages for generations.

I'm here to capture my first Slime
and bond with it.

I see. I understand.

Where is your Slime?

I didn't see one on my way here.

Is that so? If that's the case…

Slimes usually go to this place
to drink water.

I want to go there.

Mr. Ryoma.

Yes?

I haven't decided
which kind of Slime to capture.

I've read about Sticky Slimes,
Acid Slimes,

Poison Slimes, and Healing Slimes,

but I've never seen the other two kinds.

Can you tell me what they are?

This is a Scavenger Slime.

Scavenger Slime.

It eats trash and feces
to remove bad odors.

It then turns them into fertilizer.

I've never seen this kind of Slime.

Me neither.

Next, this is a Cleaner Slime.

It has a special purifying attribute.

"Purify"?

Let's demonstrate.

This is a piece of loincloth
from a Goblin I defeated.

-Goblin?
-Goblin?

What are you going to do with it?

Please watch.

It's just like a washing machine.

It's brand new!

No way!

The Goblin stain, known as
the world's toughest stain, is removed!

Mr. Ryoma, is that Slime
capable of eating stains?

Yes, it's called purification.

To be precise, it only eats stains.

Mr. Ryoma!

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

It doesn't eat humans or animals
unless you give orders.

There's actually this sort of Slime.

Astonishing.

What you did is bad for the heart.
Don't scare me.

I would like a Cleaner Slime.

I have decided to bond
with a Cleaner Slime first.

Well…

I want to capture a Slime
that can evolve into a Cleaner Slime.

Please teach me how to identify one.

Well, it will sound
inappropriate to a girl.

I see.

It's hard to tell that to a girl.

Indeed.

Ladies even have a hard time
talking about this.

That's true.

-Whatever will be, will be.
-What?

Ms. Eliaria, I know a way!

What is it?

Wash your body,

then use your sweat and dirt as bait!

He's so straightforward!

You're so insensitive.

Shut up.

For some reason,
Slimes that can evolve into Cleaner Slimes

are attracted to dirty water
mixed with sweat.

I wasn't expecting it
to have such a characteristic.

Sorry.

It's not your fault, Mr. Ryoma.

I still want a Cleaner Slime.

If so, let's ask the guards for help.

That won't do.

I have to become
a familiar conjurer one day.

I can't rely on anyone.

You idiot!

But it's not always best
to do everything on your own.

Even so, I still want
to take the first step myself.

You must decide for yourself.

I'm doing it!

I have to capture it.

I'll set out now.

Good luck, Ms. Eliaria.

Be careful on the way.

I will.

I'm back!

This is my first familiar.

I'll take good care of it.

Congratulations.

-The Man Picked Up…
-By the Gods. What did you say?

-"The Man Picked Up."
-I said, "by the Gods."

-The Man Picked Up…
-…by the Gods…

-…continues.
-…continues.

My first familiar?

It was slow, but I loved it.

I named it Tabuchi.

It reminds me of my junior from work,
so I named it after him.

Even though both of them are not here,

I hope they can be happy in the new world.

So, Ryoma, do you have any plans?

To be honest, I have no idea.

Should I stay here or move away?

Why don't you join us on our journey?

Journey?

We'll be heading to Gimul
and will be staying there for some time.

Would you like to join us?
Of course, you can return home anytime.

What do you think?

Journey? Traveling?

Leave the forest
and venture into the new world.

When was the last time I traveled?

Mr. Ryoma…

Well, this is my first time traveling,
coming to this forest.

I was nervous when I left town.

No, I still am.

But I got to see all sorts of scenery
and even met this Slime.

Of course, I also met you, Mr. Ryoma.

Something bad might happen in the future,

but the world outside
brings me more happiness.

Thank you, my lady. You're right.

The world out there
will bring me happiness.

I might be of some trouble to you,
but can I join you?

Really? Are you joining us?

That's great.

Of course. This makes me so happy.

Good. Since you've made up your mind,
let's get you packing.

You can store your baggage
in Sebas's item box.

Oh, it's okay. I have my own item box.

You know how to use the item box?

-Amazing!
-Really?

It's novice magic,
but it's still difficult.

That's impressive for someone your age.

Really?

Hey!

Let me know if you want to study magic.

I'll teach you everything I know.

It must be fun to study magic
with Mr. Ryoma.

I don't know much about this world
apart from what the gods taught me.

These people can teach me
some common sense.

Thank you very much.

It's great to have met you all.

That night,

I put everything in my home
in the item box…

like fur from animals

and all the weapons and items
from bandits.

I've collected a lot of things
in the past three years.

That's about it.

And next…

You're gods.

You should know that I'm about to embark
on my first journey.

I'm not sure when I'll be back,
so I'm taking everything with me.

If I don't return,
I'll build new statues of you elsewhere.

A town? I wonder what it looks like.

Next morning…

It's finally time to go.

The door is sealed.

Let's set out.

Our new journey awaits.

All right.

My first journey, my first step.

Impressive, Mr. Sebas.
You can store living creatures too.

Is this intermediate magic,
Dimension Platform?

Ryoma.

Besides Earth and space magic,
do you know fire and water magic as well?

Yes, my grandmother told me
that I know all types of magic.

Impressive.

You know familiar
and barrier magic as well, don't you?

Jack of all trades and master of none.
Take note of that.

I understand.

Did I say something funny?

You smiled.

I just recalled my grandmother
saying the same thing.

I also learned some healing magic
and alchemy.

Alchemy?

You're also interested
in such a rare subject?

Is alchemy uncommon?

It's becoming less and less common.

It's because alchemists
seem mysterious and scary.

Why did you learn alchemy, Ryoma?

I use it to remove
the toxicity from halite so it's edible.

That's already pretty good.

Really?

They seem to be impressed
by everything I do.

I have to learn to fit in soon.

Everybody looks happy.

It's good to be out traveling.

We rode the carriage by day
and pitched tents by night for days.

This is such a cozy journey.

It's unusual to have
such heavy rains in this season.

It's a bit chilly.

Ma'am, here you go.

Thank you, Sebas.

Are you all right, Elia?

Yes, I'm fine.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

What was that?

Lord Reinhart, bad news.

It's completely blocked.
Can we go around it?

A detour would take about three days.

That long?

There are bandits in this area.

We shouldn't stay here.

Looks like we have to use Earth magic.

A landslide?

Can I get out for a while?

Yes, but…

What will you do?

Maybe I can help.

What is that?

A raincoat.

It's applied with the mucus
of Sticky Slimes,

so it's waterproof.

I only know that it's used as an adhesive.

Just when I thought
you couldn't surprise me anymore,

you've proved me wrong.

I'll be right back.

Be careful!

Will that raincoat make a good product?

That's a good idea.

Can it bring Ryoma some profit?

Of course.

I'll talk to the Morgan Trading Company

when we're in town.

Use Break Rock to break the rocks.

And use Rock on sand
to turn it into lumps and remove them.

All right.

That's all we can do.

Surround it and become
a shield to block the rain.

Rain Shelter!

The rain!

It's a barrier!

Who made that?

Ryoma, was it you?

Thank you.

You're really incredible.

It's nothing. About that Earth magic…

What about it?

You don't have to use
Break Rock and Rock separately.

Create Block is more effective.

"Create Block"?

It would be better if I just showed you.

Create Block.

Cast the spell on rocks and sand
at the same time like this.

If you know Break Rock and Rock,
you'll be able to cast this spell.

I see!

Let me try.

There's also this.

We can pass now.

It's a lot faster than I thought.

It's all thanks to you.

Ryoma, you really worked so hard!

There's soil…

It doesn't matter.

I can't breathe.

I'm sorry!

It's okay.

I'm exhausted, but I'm happy.

I'm happy…

that I helped them.

The next three days
have been smooth sailing.

And then…

Is that the mining town of Gimul?

This is my first visit to a town
since I came to Celford.
