A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation (2026) s01e01 Episode Script
A Vacation Recommendation
Where am I?
Beautiful luster, right?
I'll give you a discount.
I guess I do stand out.
What's a noble doing here?
Is he here in secret?
I understand what they're saying, but
Thank you.
Hello.
H-Hello.
I've never seen those coins before.
And most of all
I should recognize a nation this large.
What are we doing today?
What about that labyrinth?
I heard it's pretty tough.
Are those armed people mercenaries?
I see no signs of imminent war.
In any case, I need information.
But first, I need money.
Wel come?!
Hello. Do you have a spare moment?
Huh? What? Uh, yes.
What's a noble doing here?
I have something to sell.
What? Oh, okay.
Um, I'll appraise it first.
Thank you.
The sign was accurate.
I knew it. I don't recognize
this nation at all.
This is
Is there a problem?
No. The ornamentation is beautiful.
I've never seen this design before.
I-I'm terribly sorry! That was rude of me!
I'm not going to be upset
when you complimented it.
So, how much is it worth?
Oh, right. 200 gold coins.
Then I'd like to sell it to you.
Of course!
Here you are.
Would it be possible to condense
or organize these somehow?
Oh, do you not have a pouch?
In that case, we have a few for sale.
Then I'll take one.
Also, could I get that map?
Certainly.
Um, what kind of pouch would you like?
I'll leave that up to you.
Y-Yes, sir.
Amazing.
Pouches enchanted with
spatial magic are expensive.
Sorry we only carry a few varieties.
Magic
Is that a bit different from sorcery?
A mild climate. A lively town.
It's similar to the nation I'm from.
And because it's similar,
something feels terribly off.
I really need more information.
I'd like a companion, but whom?
I want to be careful about
revealing my identity,
and I want someone with their own opinions
who adheres to a minimum
standard of morality.
Someone intelligent enough
to grasp my intentions.
Also, ideally
Hey.
Can I help you?
I wouldn't go that way if I were
you. Nasty guys back there.
Someone helpful would be convenient.
Thank you. You're considerate.
If you say so.
Impressive reflexes.
Who the hell are you?
Forgive me. My name is Lizel.
That's not what I meant. What do you want?
I wish to speak with you.
Come with me.
Certainly.
I'm borrowing a table in the back.
Sure.
Nice to meet you.
Sure.
So, what do you want to know?
First, could you introduce yourself?
What?
Simply exchanging information
is a bit dull, don't you think?
Tell me anything, whether it's your
profession or history with women.
Gil. Solo adventurer. B-rank.
I don't have a special lady,
nor do I intend to find one.
An adventurer
I see.
Perhaps all those people
I saw in town were, too.
You're not looking, but that's
not a problem for you?
If it seems that way, then I'm honored.
Who is this guy?
I'm the only solo B in this nation,
but he didn't react to that.
He's either a huge deal or
a totally ignorant noble.
You seem sharp. Have I confused you?
Meanwhile, he won't let
me get a read on him.
Will you tell me if I ask?
You want to know?
Including your history with women.
I have no profession.
I have nothing to prove my social
status, so I have no status.
And my history with women is a secret.
You don't sound like you're lying, but
that's hardly a cordial introduction.
Then you asked the wrong questions.
I don't doubt him or want to pry, but
Shall we cut to the chase?
First, tell me about the
state of local affairs.
We're currently in Parteda,
the royal capital.
This is Marcade, the mercantile nation.
This is Kavana, the magic ore nation.
The mercantile and magic ore
nations fought a while ago,
but things have calmed down recently.
The mercantile nation is
probably what it sounds like.
Is the magic ore nation a resource-rich
nation facing a massive mine?
Mr. Gil, what do you think of Parteda?
That's a broad question.
A simple summary of your thoughts will do.
Well
Good lodgings, good food, and decent jobs.
I guess it's a comfortable
city for adventurers.
Then it must get a lot of traffic.
Perhaps I could expect to find
all kinds of people here.
I was only planning to ask a few questions,
but could I make a request as well?
Well, it's true that you paid more
than that information's worth.
Want me to show you around
town? Be your bodyguard?
Be your hospitable adventuring companion?
What'll it be?
All of them.
You're shameless, you know that?
You know what I'm thinking without
me saying it. It's convenient.
Because you're dropping hints.
You were steering the conversation
this way from the start.
Am I wrong?
Still, the decision is yours to make.
What are the specifics?
One month to start.
For the first few days, we'll probably
travel together as you teach me things,
but after that, we'll likely only
travel together when necessary.
How much will you pay me?
How valuable are your services?
Who do you think you're talking to?
Then we have a deal.
Then here's my first request.
I got you the room next to mine.
It's a nice room.
Thank you.
I didn't have a place to sleep yet.
So, are you going to explain yourself?
Yes. Everything I'm about
to tell you is true.
I know. You have nothing
to gain from lying.
I came to this totally unfamiliar
nation from a place that's not here.
A place that's not here?
Yes. By coincidence or deliberately
by some third party,
I was speaking with my
subordinates in my room
when I suddenly found myself standing
in an alleyway in this nation.
I took a look around, and it's not too
different from the nation I came from.
That's why it feels incredibly strange.
As though the entire
world is slightly off.
What I have to say next is based on that,
so if you don't believe me,
this conversation is over.
Continue.
You believe me?
It would be a terrible lie.
True.
And?
Introduce yourself, nobleman.
You can tell?
Why do you think I wouldn't?
Then simply put, I only inherited my
position recently, but I'm a duke.
I'm a chancellor. I worked
in the royal palace.
Wait. A chancellor is the king's
highest ranking advisor.
Yes, it is.
He's too young for that.
My king is so splendid that my youth
wouldn't make me consider resigning.
I'm proud to serve him.
You can't go back?
I don't know.
If my absence is a problem, I'm sure
they'll find a way for me to return.
You're not going to look for one?
It does concern me, but I
doubt I can do it myself.
This is probably His Majesty's specialty.
Huh.
Anyway, until then
I plan to think of this as
a vacation and enjoy it.
Good morning.
Is there somewhere you want to go?
I'd actually like to be an adventurer.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Then we'll stop by a clothing shop.
Why?
You'd stand out.
What is this place?
Adventurers are basically just people
who perform odd jobs for others.
The adventurer's guild
serves as an intermediary.
I see.
Hello.
I'm sorry, but the guildmaster
is currently out.
Could you return another day?
What?
What?
I came to register with the guild.
What?
I told you.
Did the Blade not tell you?
The Blade?
It's that tasteless man's nickname.
I didn't choose it for myself.
A nickname?
At this adventurer's guild,
we sometimes reject interference
from nations due to our standing.
Therefore, we don't register nobles,
knights, and similar individuals as adventurers here.
Okay.
We don't register nobles, knights, and
similar individuals as adventurers here.
I understand.
Please leave.
He's not.
Not what?
Not a noble.
No way.
Yes, way.
May I register as an adventurer?
One moment, please.
I'll prepare the necessary tools.
Why did he suspect me?
What is this guy saying?
Let's get you registered.
I'm Stud, the guild receptionist.
Nice to meet you.
First, I'll issue your guild ID.
Use this to prick your finger.
Hey, your finger.
Oh, was that enough?
You can be weirdly sloppy.
And you're surprisingly fastidious.
The Blade's surprising qualities
aside, your guild ID is ready.
F-rank
I'll now explain how jobs work.
The guild lends out encyclopedias on
monsters and plants you may encounter on jobs.
If anything is unclear, you can
look it up or ask reception.
Do you sell those encyclopedias?
Simply viewing them is free.
Acquiring knowledge is a hobby of mine.
A good hobby to have.
But none of the guild's documents
can be taken out of the building.
I see.
This is the location of a shop
that sells technical books on a variety
of subjects, not just monsters and plants.
Thank you.
Could I get the rest of the
explanation another time?
That's fine.
You're a kind boy.
I appreciate the map.
Farewell.
He pet his ice cold head.
I wouldn't do that if you paid me.
Crap!
Come in.
Welcome back, Mr. Gil.
How did the job go?
Decently.
You're still not sick of that?
"He was a fish who swam through oceans
of bookshelves eating knowledge."
"I thought he was beautiful,
but his surroundings were not."
You think I'm beautiful?
I think you're an idiot.
It's nearly lunchtime.
Want to get lunch?
After that, let's go to the guild.
You're finally going to accept a job?
Yes.
Stud.
Oh, it's you.
I've come for the rest of the
explanation and to take a job.
Seriously? You're actually here?
How the Blade has fallen.
I heard the famous Blade
teamed up with someone.
He looks like a real twink.
These are the guild rules.
Thank you.
You rejected my invitation
to team up with a beginner?
What's your angle?
Who the hell are you?
Are you saying you forgot me?
I don't know you.
Don't talk to me like we're friends.
He must really be your type, huh?
Better than you.
Mr. Gil, our contract was for a
month, but let's end it today.
You're immoral. The worst.
Idiots.
Anyway, I can't have anyone insulting you.
Huh?
Gil and I have a formal
deal to work together.
You think you're hot stuff because
you bought the Blade with money?
You think Gil merely works for pay?
If that's what you believe, go ahead
and buy him for more than I paid.
Though I doubt you can.
I'm a B-rank just like
that guy you bought!
That's fantastic.
However
Hearing a lowlife like you
compare himself to what's
mine displeases me greatly.
You twerp!
Guild employees aren't allowed to interfere
in disputes between adventurers.
We simply don't mediate if asked.
Our involvement is not prohibited.
I see.
I was concerned that
you might be punished.
Use this to pay for repairs.
I'll come back for a job another day.
In that moment, my body
moved instinctively.
It was made to move.
"What's mine," huh?
What am I, a knight?
Next time: "An Adventurer's Debut."
Beautiful luster, right?
I'll give you a discount.
I guess I do stand out.
