01x04 - Takumi's Party's First Battle!

[bunniefuu]

Hmm.

[TAKUMI]

Man, this is a huge library.

But they only have four books

on alchemy here?

But it's so simple.

Are people not

interested in it anymore?

[gasps]

Oh, right!

I see now.

It's based on the writing

of an ancient

magic civilization.

♪

And since I've been

reincarnated into this world,

I understand

all of its languages.

That's why it's so easy for me.

Due to Lady Nolyn's

blessing, I'm sure.

[birds chirping]

[MARIA]

I don't think I'll be able

to forget that for a while.

[TAKUMI]

Forget what?

It was so lovely,

you and Sofia last night!

Wait, were you watching us?

Yep!

[MARIA]

I had a front-row seat!

[MAPLE]

Master, so cool.

Just seeing the way

she was yesterday.

It was like watching a knight

pledge to protect her princess.

It was so enchanting!

[TAKUMI] Wait,

so am I the princess then?

[MAPLE]

Master, so cute.

EPISODE 4

TAKUMI'S PARTY'S FIRST BATTLE!

[MARIA] We made an awful

lot of toilets, didn't we?

Yeah, filling the order

should be no problem.

This means

I finally get a break

from mass-producing toilets.

When you say, "break,"

do you mean

you're going to be

producing other things?

Well, yeah, of course, I am

butit's time for a change.

So, I'm thinking about going

on a journey at some point.

[MARIA]

But, why do you want to leave?

Although it's nice, I don't

want to stay here all the time.

[TAKUMI]

There are resources to find,

new meals to try

and lots of places to explore.

But, don't worry I'll have

Sofia accompanying me

as my bodyguard,

so while we're gone,

it'll be up to you

to hold down the fort.

[sighs]

-[MAPLE] And Maple?

-Ah?

[TAKUMI] You're my pet.

Obviously, you'd come too.

[MARIA]

Master?

If I said I would like

to come along as well,

would it be a nuisance to you?

Ah!

Well, it's going to be

awfully dangerous, you know.

-I, uh--

-[TAKUMI] It's safer here.

[TAKUMI]

Plus, I need you to--

You want me to handle

all the housework by myself

in a great big mansion

without you, Sofia, or Maple?

Please, Master!

[MARIA]

That's like being a toilet

left alone in the middle

of the burning desert!

No, actually,

now that I think of it,

I'd be even lower than that!

[weeping]

[TAKUMI] Why's there a toilet

in all her metaphors?

She makes a good point, though.

If I left her here

all by herself,

I'd be worried all the time.

[crying]

[groaning]

Hmm.

[TAKUMI] No,

not the cute puppy dog eyes.

Pardon me for a moment.

[birds chirping]

[gasps]

Huh!

[whimpering]

Hmm.

[gasps]

[whimpering]

Master, what are

[TAKUMI]

These stats aren't half bad!

A phenomenal maid but

she's also capable of combat!

Your stats are

good enough, Maria.

But first,

you're sure about this?

Yes, I'm well aware

of the danger!

If I may, I'd like

for her to come with us.

I'm skilled in both

magic and combat.

So, I think I can

teach her a few things.

That sounds great!

Well, in that case,

how would you like to start

training with me and Sofia?

Yes, I'd love to!

♪

[TAKUMI]

With that out of the way

it's time to get you both

prepared for our journey.

Any preferred weapons?

Well, I'd like a longsword.

Oh, and I need a spear about

two and a half meters

in height.

[SOFIA] A longbow for range

and also one or two knives.

[TAKUMI]

Listed with no hesitation,

as expected from a warrior.

So, you don't need a shield?

If you wouldn't mind,

I'd like a buckler.

And not too bulky.

[TAKUMI] You got it.

What about you, Maria?

At the Mulan Company, I trained

with short blades for a while.

So, I should be fine with

any short sword or a knife.

But you'll be lacking in attack

power against monsters

if that's all you have.

-Yeah, she's right.

-Hey, get a spear.

I can teach you

how to use it properly.

Thanks!

I really would like that!

♪

[TAKUMI] For the material

these ingots should work.

In this world metal

needs more than hardness,

or there's no point

in using it.

Hah!

Hah!

Lower your center of gravity!

Hmm.

Haa!

You're too stiff

with your arms.

Extend!

Oh!

Making weapons

really shaves away

a good amount of mana!

-Yes, I am an idiot.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing.

Just a felt a weird chill

on my thigh, that's all.

Time to start on their armor

their measurements first.

The process of obtaining them

could potentially get awkward.

Luckily, I'm always prepared!

Dolls of Sofia and Maria?

That's right,

I constructed them

with assistance

Huh, this is scandalous.

Sofia and Maria are scandalous?

Listen, never mind that

some spider silk, okay?

[MAPLE]

Yes, sir!

For materials, I'll use the

Huge Armored Boar's carapace

and hide.

Then, I can add in

a bit of cloth made

from Maple's spider silk.

For the design,

functionality's important,

but so is appearance, right?

Well, forgive me, ladies,

but I think I'm gonna

exercise my right

as your master.

[TAKUMI]

And let my tastes run wild!

SEVERAL DAYS LATER

[Takumi whimpering]

They both look so good!

How does it feel?

Come on, be honest.

It's a surprisingly

perfect fit!

Like it adapted

the moment I put it on.

It's so easy to move in this!

But, Master, how did you manage

to match our sizes

without measuring us?

[MAPLE]

He used dolls of you two--

And that's not all!

Thanks to the spider silk,

it should be good

on the defensive end as well.

So, what about the weapons?

[sword clanking]

[SOFIA]

Hm.

Fits my grip just right.

[TAKUMI]

Good!

Sounds like the enchantments

are working well.

Yeah, this is great!

Wonderful.

Everything's perfect!

That stupid crow had no idea

what it was cawing about!

Thank you, Master.

I'll do my very best

with these, Sir!

[TAKUMI]

Mm-hm.

-Also, here.

-Hmm? -[gasping]

[SOFIA]

Um, rings?

[TAKUMI]

Figured they'll serve well

as focuses for casting magic.

They're imbued with mana.

Thank you, but it's too much!

Did producing these

consume a lot of mana?

[TAKUMI] Yeah, but think of it

as my own form of training.

-[TAKUMI] So, it worked out.

[TAKUMI]

Besides, I now have ice

and lightning magic

thanks to that.

-You're the best, Master!

It's nothing!

Shortly after, we headed

for the Adventurer's Guild.

Before we go on our journey

we have to make sure

Sofia and Maria are both

registered with the guild.

All right, here ya go.

Two guild cards.

Both rank H.

While we're at it,

I'd like to register

the three of us as a party.

Of course.

And about the other day,

concerning the routine message

that was sent out.

Yeah, you mean

the quests, right?

I was hoping we could

resolve that today, too.

Very well.

♪

[TAKUMI] I guess we can focus

on rank H and G quests for now.

If that's what you wish,

but those aren't going

to earn us very many points.

And that's fine.

Raising my rank

within the guild

isn't something I'm really

concerned about now.

[DEBUL]

Look at these lovely ladies.

Hey, the three of us

can show you the ropes

better than that scrawny

little weakling can.

You'll be thrilled to know

we're rank D.

So, we're much more reliable

than that guy you're with.

[DEBUL]

Well, boys.

These two ladies would clearly

rather come along with us.

Let's get started, shall we?

Huh?

What the

No, I won't stand aside.

These are my friends!

If your brain can't understand,

then we'll teach your body.

Why, you!

Um, well, I, uh

My master didn't do

anything, you got it?

Come with me.

So, what'd you do?

Oh, well, I

Let me see.

[TAKUMI]

Do I have to answer that?

Personal information

is protected.

Takumi, there were faint

traces of mana present.

Did you use magic?

[gasps]

[TAKUMI] If he's aware of that

then his Sense Magic Skill

must be quite a high level.

I'm surprised you noticed.

You're right.

But, I still didn't cast

any magic on those men.

♪

I had some charcoal

stashed in my item box.

So, I grabbed some

and coated my upper body in it.

So, you only used charcoal?

[TAKUMI]

Well, no.

I kinda synthesized

it into diamond.

Diamond, that would certainly

break a fist, wouldn't it?

-Alchemy, then?

-[TAKUMI] Right.

[HANS] When you first came here

you wanted to join

an Alchemist's Guild,

didn't you?

Yep.

And you told me

that there weren't any.

Fine, I think I understand.

[BARACK] I take it you ladies

are his party members, correct?

-Mm-hm.

-Hm.

With such pretty women

to accompany him,

perhaps given

the circumstances,

we should immediately

promote Mr. Takumi to rank D.

Right.

Then, idiots like those guys

would be a lot less likely

to make a move on ya.

That may well be the case,

but these two only

just registered today.

How about this?

If you three are interested

in ranking up quickly,

then I have quite

a few quests available,

if you're willing

to accept them.

Hm?

Well, I think

it's a good offer.

I'll gladly risk my life

to protect you regardless,

Master.

[SOFIA] But we should start

looking to improve our rank

and abilities.

I agree, Master,

I want to get stronger

and be helpful to you

as soon as possible!

All right, then, we'll do them.

Let's begin.

Hmm.

[TAKUMI] Hans had three

simple quests prepared for us.

Exterminating goblins,

exterminating kobolds,

and gathering Marill herbs.

Master past the bushes.

Goblins, I count four.

Got a report from Maple.

Four goblins

in the bushes ahead.

Then, I'll k*ll two of them.

All three quests were ranked G

or had no rank requirement.

The reward wasn't that bad,

around 5 or 6 silver coins.

Nice

let's retrieve

their magic stones.

I'm not complaining

but aren't we encountering

goblins and kobolds

at an extremely high rate?

I mean, we've already

k*lled enough to complete

the quests three times over!

You're right.

There's probably a camp nearby

and it's very likely

a general is among them.

There's a Goblin General?

[SOFIA]

That's a rank C monster.

It's said, in order

to exterminate a general,

along with its encampment,

it would take at least

five parties of rank D.

Five, huh?

We're only one party of three.

But we have my sprite magic

and with your elemental magic,

along with Maria's earth magic,

we can thin out their numbers

by launching

planned area attacks.

If we do that,

then we can exterminate them,

all on our own.

[TAKUMI]

Oh, she's ready.

She's in full-on combat mode.

Pest extermination!

I'm itching to go!

[TAKUMI]

Her, too.

Are you okay?

Soon, I will evolve.

Evolve?

Like right now?

Got it.

Hold on!

and rest for a while!

A pocketdimension?

But how?

Oh, right, sometime

after my space-time magic

reached level three, I was

able to start making them.
