01x07 - Wondrous Medicine Production

[bunniefuu]

My curse is perfect.

Enjoy suffering a fate worse than death,

Rembrant...

I didn't know it was a request
from Rembrant Company.

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned that.

Mr. Rembrant is well-known in this city.

If we upset them in any way...

Sorry for the wait.

Everything is prepared.
Please come with us.

Y... Yes, sir!

He looks like he's about to be ex*cuted.

All the ingredients
have been gathered here.

The recipe for Ambrosia.

"Mix the fluid from the eyes
with several varieties of liquor

and then cool it little by little."

Is that all?

Yes. The extraction of the fluid
is the most difficult part.

The rest is much easier.

They said it was a secret medicine,

so I thought it'd stew in a pot for days.

Blessings of the Goddess
that envelop this world...

Relentless and unchanging...

The Goddess's... The Goddess's blessing...

You're mentioning the goddess too much.

And that way of
gathering magic is inefficient.

According to what Emma taught me...

Fix the surrounding environment.

The preparatory magic is done?

I was still reciting
the incantation though.

You probably just imagined it.

Is this a substitution method?

You noticed.

We usually use an Ambrosia flower,
but they are difficult to obtain.

So we substitute it with Ruby Eyes,
who mainly feed on its nectar.

Ambrosia flowers, huh?

If I find any, I'm sure they'll become
a hot item for Kuzunoha Company.

If we refine the process a bit more,

it might be possible
to create an extra potion.

I've finished creating
a bottle of Ambrosia.

I'll take it to the master right away!

I'm glad it went well.

I want to hurry up and get a drink.

You're getting way too relaxed.

All done.

Be careful!

Hold them how Mr. Moris did!

Mr. Kuzunoha!

You fool!

Search Realm!

Over there!
I'll speed myself up with a blast!

I can't catch it in time!

Please fall on my body somewhere!

N... Nice catch...

I'll get you for this later, Hazal.

Is something the matter, Mr. Moris?

Yes. Master, he...

Mr. Kuzunoha.

Where did you get that injury?

I tried to get my wife to
consume the medicine,

but she resisted violently.

It took several guards
and myself to restrain her.

She lost consciousness after that.

It was nothing like the previous spasms.

That probably wasn't a spasm.

It's most likely
something added to the curse

to prevent any medicine
from being administered.

To think the curse would go so far...

It's possible with
a level eight and above curse.

At first, all she had was a mild fever.

But she never got better.

She became afraid of water.

Then, light terrified her,
and she started losing her sanity.

Her hair fell out, she lost weight,
and her eyes turned red.

Her beautiful appearance
was completely gone.

That hell was supposed to
come to an end today.

Perhaps I should've asked
Toa or Tomoe to come.

But...

Please lead me to your wife's room.

I'll restrain her to make it easier
to administer the cure.

Hazal, make another potion
from what's still left.

All... All right.

It's impossible at your level.

Moris and the guards struggled
to hold her back together.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Because he was the one
who took down the Ruby Eyes.

What?

I saw his extraordinary skills
with my own eyes earlier as well.

Even you, Moris?

Don't worry. I'll put an end to the curse.

The smell of the medicine...

Madam's room is over there.

Until I've restrained her,
please do not come near.

I'll attract her attention
with this smell.

She looks awful.

She's fast.

But I might hurt her if I'm not careful.

Mr. Kuzunoha!

Please stay back.

Yukiko used to practice her judo moves
on me in the past.

And while I couldn't copy them then,

with my current abilities...

Quick! Administer the medicine!

Lisa!

Mr. Rembrant!

I'm fine.

Lisa...

We'll be able to talk
and laugh together again.

Your daughters are next.

I let my guard down earlier, but...

She's like Spider Man.

There!

Mr. Kuzunoha!

I've made another bottle...

At a time like this?

What an amazing butler!

Now, for the last one.

Run...

Please...

Run...

She's still in control of herself.

Don't worry. It'll all be over soon.

My wife and daughters
are resting peacefully now.

I can't thank you enough, Mr. Kuzunoha.

I'm glad. I hope they recover soon.

But your skills are incredible.

Who exactly are you?

I'm just a merchant's apprentice.

Either way, we've finally been saved
from that hell.

Oh, Goddess, thank you for this day!

I would prefer you didn't thank her,
of all people.

I ended up making Hazal
work on refining the potion.

Young Master, I'm glad to see you safe.

We've been waiting for you.

Why are you guys here?

It's natural for servants
to wait for their masters, right?

Don't give me that.

You guys just want me to take you guys
to the adventurer's guild.

Actually, something
has been bothering Tomoe.

Die.

What? Tomoe! Mio!

The masked guy dodged, huh?

That's all you've got?

Compared to Young Master's Brid,
this is just a warm breeze.

Sheesh. You guys should've just dodged.

We wanted to figure out
how strong these assassins were.

Assassins?

They've been watching us
since we were back at the inn.

I thought things
would become more interesting.

No, I mean, I was worried
about your safety, Young Master.

You're like an open book.

There are more than 20 of them.

Ladies,

won't you consider joining us instead?
I'll make it worth your time.

Those bad guys at Zetsuya
said the same thing, didn't they, Mio?

How much are you offering?

What did you say?

How about 10 gold coins?

All right. I'll stay out of it this time.

You wench...

You can pay me afterward.

I like your style, black-haired miss.

Sorry, but the world is cruel.

You b*stard.

I'm more than enough
to deal with all of you!

Will this do, Young Master?

Yes. Thank you for playing along.

The last thing I need is a repeat
of what happened in Zetsuya.

I didn't expect you
to demand money from them, though.

That much should be expected

for troubling you, Young Master.

I feel my blood pumping, Young Master!

You're way too excited, Tomoe.

Pity.

This is all because you got involved
with Rembrant!

I knew it was related to Mr. Rembrant.

Tomoe, try not to k*ll them.

Get them!

Hey, Tomoe! What are you doing?

You didn't give me
the signal, Young Master.

That old man's traditional signal
at the start of a battle.

That.

Traditional what?

That?

Do I have to say it?

Isn't that masked guy
supposed to be only level one?

What's with those moves?

To... Tomoe, please punish them...

Yes, sir!

Fret not.

It's the back of my sword!

It is the back of her blade, but...

You're the last ones left.

Hey, help us out.

Huh? I only said I would stay out of this.
Not that I would help you.

What? I'm paying you!

If you're not alive to pay me,

I can just take it from your corpse.

I call upon the eight-legged horse
of the court.

-Take me to a previous path.
-You b*stard! Are you trying to run away?

Young Master,
that is a teleportation spell.

Sorry.

I held back. He should be alive, right?

I'm Lime Latte,
the number one adventurer in Tsige!

Sounds like a gross drink.

Oh, that seems like a nice blade.

I... I'm gonna die...

But if I die here, those guys will...

This guy...

Please! Spare me!

Show me mercy, please!

You're begging for mercy now?

After all those things you've done?

I know I was wrong for putting
a sleeping curse on those girls.

Sleep?

You placed a fatal curse on them.

No, we only placed
a curse on them to put them to sleep!

Drop the act, brat!

I'm not lying!

And your reason?

It started a few months ago
at my favorite bar...

What terrible news.

Adventurers marked by Rembrant Company
are having trouble getting any jobs.

Yeah.

Because of that, people have taken on
crazy requests and died.

It's just sickening.

I heard an adventurer who came
from an orphanage died as well.

Without money or an education,
they are stuck being adventurers.

I'm sure many will continue
to lose their lives.

Rembrant, that b*stard...

I have a suggestion.

He placed a sleeping curse upon his family

to force him to rethink what he has done.

That was supposed to be the plan.

He said the curse
wouldn't harm anyone's life.

That's why I agreed to help him.

But the spell caster himself was caught.

After that, we couldn't stop it.

Tomoe, did you check his memories?

Yes. He doesn't appear to be lying.

All right. That's enough now.

Are you letting me go?

Go and heal your comrades.

I'm sorry...

Miss?

The money as promised.

Oh, right now, I'm a little...

Here you go.

Um, it's empty.

Interest.

Interest...

Yes, of course.

Young Master, I earned us
some extra money!

This is what happens to those
who are used by others.

A FEW DAYS LATER
AT REMBRANT COMPANY

I am truly sorry!

Since then, I heard Lime went to
Mr. Rembrant's and apologized many times.

Master, if he is insistent, why not offer
to forgive him in exchange for his life?

Moris turned out to be
surprisingly terrifying.

Fortunately, my wife and daughters
are recovering well.

Out of respect for Mr. Kuzunoha,
I will accept your apology.

Thank you.

However, I will restrict
what you can do as an adventurer.

Will that be all right?

No, I will no longer be an adventurer.

That is my resolve. I am truly sorry.

With that resolve, I'm sure
he'll be fine from now on.

I doubt we'll meet again, though.

So I prepared a parting gift.

You're looking refreshed.

Oh, the blue-haired lady.

What will you do now?

Well, I'll figure something out.

I still have some connections.

You wanted to protect
that orphanage, right?

H... How did you know that?

Because I can see through everything.

Seriously, I just can't win.

That orphanage was the only place
who took a good-for-nothing like me in.

So when I heard that someone
from the orphanage was harmed,

I jumped straight in and fell for it.

But who exactly are you guys?

That masked Young Master of yours
is way too mysterious.

Indeed. But he is a kind person.

He said to give you this in return
for destroying your blade.

Wow!

This is a katana.

It was created by the ancient Dwarves.
However, that is still incomplete.

It looks expensive.

If we parted ways right now,

you would just end up
selling that sword, right?

How about it?
What do you think about working for me?

For you, Miss?

For now, you'll gather information for me.
I want you to become a spy.

So I'll be your lapdog?

For now, I'll give you this.

This... This much?

If you can devote everything to your job,

I'll make sure to protect
whatever you hold dear.

I expect you to keep your word.

All right.
That settles the matter with this guy.

Mr. Kuzunoha...

If that man decides to create a company...

We must consider our next move as well.

I didn't get to where I am today
with some half-hearted resolve.

There is more to them after all.

The spell caster that cast the curse

might have been a sacrificial pawn
of Rembrant's ambitions as well.

And with that,
the Rembrant issue was solved.

I finally returned to the subspace,

but there appeared to be a problem.

Um...

Actually, there is a problem
concerning the three of you.

I have a bad feeling about this.
