A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation (2026) s01e02 Episode Script
An Adventurer's Debut
The breakfast here is very good.
It must taste nothing like the
food served where you're from.
No, but they're both exquisite.
You're really enjoying yourself.
I'm on vacation, after all.
Excuse me.
How can I help you, Captain?
I heard a man impersonating
a noble is staying here.
What? I won't stand for
you accusing my guests.
Let me through so I can confirm the truth.
He froze up.
He most certainly did.
I'm terribly sorry.
I heard there were
no nobles visiting town.
Forgive my rudeness.
Don't worry about it.
I'm not a noble.
What?
I'm an adventurer.
Don't lie to me!
Episode 2
"An Adventurer's Debut"
Clear blue skies and a comfortable breeze.
It's the perfect day for an adventure.
We can still see the capital, though.
Once again, I appreciate you
providing me with instruction.
Hey, do something about the way you talk.
Whatever do you mean?
That's not how adventurers speak.
I see.
Then thanks for teaching me, dude.
That doesn't suit you, either.
What?
Hey, look over there.
Ah.
I'm impressed you spotted that.
I'm just used to it.
That's a large rat.
It's a plains rat. A monster.
We have to defeat ten of
those for today's job.
They run away quickly, so first
Did I get it? We should be fine.
Why are you always full of surprises?
Oh, I'm sorry. Did that surprise you?
Who wouldn't be surprised by that
suddenly appearing and firing a shot?
The guns here fire
lead bullets, don't they?
Yeah. No one uses them because
they're so unwield—
Mine works like this.
I understand your surprise that time.
You're a real piece of work.
Instead of lead bullets, this fires mana.
Let's keep going.
"Job request: labyrinth goods."
"Client: labyrinth collector (alias)."
It's an anonymous client.
I see.
"Items found up to the fifth floor only.
Appraisal certificate required.
Base pay: 10 silver coins."
Up to the fifth floor is
the right rank for us.
The pay's good for the job, too.
Then let's do this one.
Hello, Stud.
Hello.
I'd like to do this job, please.
Then I'll get you registered.
Any questions?
Will the client really accept anything?
Yes.
Apparently, they'll take anything as long
as it can only be found in the labyrinth.
By the way,
what are they doing?
A new labyrinth was discovered
several days ago.
I believe they're working on that.
The labyrinth's quite difficult for them,
so they've been doing that for a while.
Sure, but what's the point of
silently staring at a table?
It's not the monsters they're
struggling with, but the puzzles.
Puzzles?
The labyrinth is full
of challenging puzzles.
They bring back copies of the puzzles
and fervently attempt to solve them.
They're after the completion reward.
Completion reward?
A labyrinth reward given only
to the first ones to clear it.
Being the first to clear a
labyrinth also affects your rank,
so we're short on adventurers
to complete jobs.
So everyone prioritizes
labyrinths over jobs.
Especially when a new one is discovered.
If you're going to that labyrinth,
you should take a peek at that table.
There's a copy of the labyrinth's
first cipher there.
What should we do?
Pass. We'll stick to our original plan.
You're all set.
Be careful.
Thank you.
I'm curious about the cipher.
Do you mind if I take a look?
Go ahead.
Excuse me.
Uh, right.
That's an interesting
cipher. It's well made.
If you've solved it, then let's go.
All right.
What?
I'm sorry. I caught
a glimpse of your notes.
They're numbers in an ancient script.
It's a very nice sequence.
Hey, let's go.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hey, what did he tell you?
Did he steal our information?
No. The opposite, actually
I was quite familiar with
that ancient script.
Perhaps this world is my future or past.
Don't stick your nose
where it doesn't belong.
You'll get caught up in something.
Oh, please. I can decide for myself
if I want to get involved.
This is the labyrinth?
Yeah.
Labyrinth goods. Items that can
be only found in labyrinths.
It's a treasure hunt, then.
Yeah, though we're not
guaranteed to find any.
So it comes down to luck?
It's completely random, so keep walking.
There's a boss on the
bottom floor, isn't there?
The one here isn't that strong.
Why did it respond to me but not you?
That's the first thing you have to say?
Oh, excuse me. Thank you.
You're calm.
That's my only strength.
So, why do you think that was?
Who knows?
Your head must've passed
by exactly the right spot.
Make sure you can
react to traps like those.
Since you're here, I let
my guard down completely.
Well, don't.
We're lucky to find something
on the second floor.
Sometimes these contain
monsters, don't they?
Yeah, sometimes.
What's this?
Welcome to
Hello. I'm back.
Stop making everyone freeze up.
I really don't appreciate you
putting the blame on me.
Um, how can I help you today?
I'd like you to appraise
some labyrinth goods.
Labyrinth goods?
I'm an adventurer.
What?
You found some unusual pieces.
What do you think? Are they
worth a whole gold piece?
Some people might be willing to pay five.
Oh, like enthusiasts.
Yes. A lot of people collect
labyrinth plushies.
Most go for two gold pieces
or five for a pair.
But when judged merely as labyrinth
goods, they're low rank, so
They're completely useless.
True. They're just plushies, after all.
I'd be willing to buy them, if you'd like.
No, please just appraise
them as labyrinth goods.
Very well.
Can we hand these in as they are?
Put them in a box or something.
Then could I ask you to wrap them as well?
You know, since they're plushies.
What?
For the ribbon Do you have any in red?
Yes, sir.
And if you could tie a double bow, please.
Yes, sir.
Why do you put so much effort
into meaningless things?
For fun.
The young party from this morning?
Yes. They were discussing
the cipher at the guild.
I don't know much about them,
but they're probably rank C.
Do they have potential?
It'll take time for them to reach rank B.
You want them?
No. I'd only be doing it on the side,
but I'd rather invest in
someone with a bright future.
What?
They're here.
Speak of the devil.
So, how can I help you?
I'm Ein, the party leader.
Thanks to your advice this morning,
we're now the farthest ones
through the labyrinth.
Well, congratulations.
I hope you'll be the first
to reach the bottom.
So, we have a proposal.
We're stuck again. Help us.
Well
I'll do it for 50% of
the completion reward.
You can't be serious!
What kind of suckers do you take us for?
Then let me ask you this.
What if I solved the puzzles for you
so you reached the bottom first?
Did you think, "Thank you. We're
done with you," would suffice?
We'd pay an appropriate price, of course.
But 50% is too much.
Is it? I think you're
confused about something.
Like what?
Do you realize that you're in no
position to demand a compromise?
I could go to the labyrinth tomorrow.
Sorry. Let me try again.
We want the honor of being the
first to clear the dungeon.
And what do I get?
We'll pay you 50%.
I mean, let us have 50%. Please.
Please.
We have to be first to clear it.
Please help us.
Gil?
Do what you want.
Then we have a deal.
Yes!
Hey, wake up.
They're here again.
Good morning.
Is Mr. Lizel awake?
Barely.
Hey.
You could've stopped by on
your way back yesterday.
We worked really hard yesterday.
The new floor was a huge maze.
We were walking around and progressing
on our own until late at night.
We encountered a ton of monsters, and
What? I'm hopeless at solving ciphers.
I thought about it in the
carriage yesterday, but
What?!
Were there ten doors?
What? Uh, yeah—yes, sir!
First, enter the second from
the left, then the fifth,
Wait, let me write this down.
then the eighth, then the first
Could you start over?
Wake up, Mr. Lizel!
Please!
We haven't seen any escort jobs yet.
Escort jobs are rank C.
Just being able to fight isn't enough.
Do you have a moment?
What is it, Stud?
The client from the other
day asked to meet you.
The labyrinth goods collector?
Yes. They were delighted by the items
and wanted to thank you personally.
This way.
You knew they were important
and hoped this would happen.
Of course not. Something just seemed off.
Collectors seek attention, but
they didn't give their name.
And they offered ten silver no
matter what we brought them.
Excuse me. I've brought him.
Sorry for making you wait.
What's this?
Have I entered the wrong room?
This is the correct room. Please enter.
It's an honor to make your acquaintance.
I'm the one who acquired the items.
My name is Lizel.
Well, what a surprise.
I had no idea there were
adventurers like you.
Forgive me. I don't mean
that in a negative way.
I get that a lot. Don't worry about it.
I am, well You can call me Ray.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm a viscount responsible for
managing the military police.
Adventurers probably
aren't too fond of me.
Now, let's get down to business.
You came all the way here
because of that job.
Have I done something I shouldn't have?
Oh, no. Not at all.
That wrapping. Those goods.
A delight I've not felt in ages.
I simply wanted to thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
You're too kind.
By the way, I apologize.
It seems I underpaid you
for those labyrinth goods.
This more than covers the
cost of the wrapping.
It's for the delight you gave me.
That said, that's just an excuse.
If you're the one responsible
for that marvelous wrapping,
then you must know how valuable
those teddy bears are.
I guarantee they were
appraised accurately.
But that's not the whole truth.
Very well.
In that case, thank you.
Mr. Lizel, was it?
I'd like for us to be friends.
I'm honored, but I'm a humble F rank.
No.
I simply thought it'd be wise to
establish a personal connection.
That's what my gut says. Do you trust me?
If that's what you believe,
then I can't say no.
Come visit me sometime.
I'd love to show off my collection.
If you'll excuse me.
I should be cleared of suspicion now.
What makes you say that?
He checked before he left, didn't he?
I wouldn't put it past you
to fool him with your heart.
He was completely unperturbed
and yet also slightly wary of me.
I'll start by establishing a friendship.
I'm glad that Ein's party successfully
cleared the labyrinth.
You made a tidy sum, too.
Was that a large reward?
A set of gear one rank higher
would burn through it.
It's not enough if you want to go higher.
Gil, why are you rank B?
What?
You could go higher, couldn't you?
I'm a solo adventurer. What do you expect?
What's the real reason?
If that's the truth,
then I can't trust the guild.
At rank A and above,
special jobs sometimes come in.
You mean jobs from nobles
and major merchants.
I can't be bothered with etiquette.
They're not the kind of people
I want to associate with.
I see.
Thank you for the past month.
I failed to spend everything I had.
You made a stupid amount
just before the end.
This is a lot.
It's an expression of my gratitude.
And I'd like to make a reservation.
A reservation?
If something comes up
again, will you help me?
Hey.
Gil, you're hurting me.
Gil.
Don't make me give you an order.
I don't want to restrict you.
You listen to me.
I don't want to hear your opinions
on what I choose to do.
So don't bore me.
I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
