A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation (2026) s01e03 Episode Script

A Letter from Ray

We'll be arriving shortly.
Please bear with us a little longer.
Of course. Thank you.
He's a polite driver.
Is he?
He must think you're a noble, too.
It's understandable,
given our destination.
You can see the mansion now.
I'd heard the Blade had joined a party.
I guess the rumor was true.
Are you sure about this?
Do you not like the idea, Stud?
I don't, but I won't stop you.
Upset I'm taking someone
you've grown fond of?
Who's fond of whom?
Are you that oblivious?
Don't expose him to danger just because
you're no longer his bodyguard.
Who do you think you're talking to?
Then what's this? You're all talk.
Gil begged me not to throw him away.
No, I didn't.
Thank you.
Not at all. Also, I have
one more thing for you.
This was mixed in with the letters
addressed to the guildmaster this morning.
I read the contents,
and it's addressed to you.
To me?
Is this not an interference of power?
Since it's a personal letter,
I have no reason to object.
He works quickly.
What?
He invited me to his home to
see his private collection.
What shall we do?
You're our leader.
Then let's accept his invitation.
I'm curious about his collection
of labyrinth goods.
Well, it's not like you've
found any decent goods.
Why is that? Is it luck?
Stud, do you know where this is?
There's a carriage service by the
large bridge in the town center.
They'll take you straight there.
We'll notify him that you're coming.
There should be no issue
visiting that viscount today.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for the invitation.
My master has instructed
me to show you inside.
This way.
This is incredible.
Gil, is this?
Are you already getting a look around?
This is also part of my collection.
Please accept my deepest gratitude for—
None of that, please.
I've decided that we
should be good friends.
Oh, I couldn't possibly.
Don't be so cold.
Treat me like you'd treat each other.
And don't think of calling me brazen.
As you wish.
Too stiff.
Then that's what I'll do.
You, too.
Oh, shut up.
Let me show you around.
Are these all labyrinth goods as well?
Yes.
Are these paintings of actual adventurers?
Indeed they are.
Perhaps you could call them
the labyrinth's memories.
They're not something
adventurers want, though.
They're bulky. Most of these
would get left behind.
That's unfortunate.
Some paintings are far more valuable
than your average gemstone.
Are they really?
Even ordinary paintings are if
their subjects seem expensive.
Bosses, mysteries unique to
labyrinths, and finally
adventurers like you.
You look splendid as a painting.
Shut up.
The Blade's slashing attack
drew an incredibly high price.
It was found in the lower levels,
and even the labyrinth seems
to recognize its worth.
Are powerful adventurers popular?
Power is important, but not
as much as appearance.
The ladies got into a bidding
war over this piece.
Hey, put that thing away.
Appearance, huh?
He's rather uncouth, though.
Shut up.
Perhaps a painting of me
will show up someday.
It's embarrassing to think it could
end up in someone else's hands.
Then I shall pay any price
to acquire it. Don't worry.
Oh, also
Would you accept this as
a token of friendship?
What is it?
You'll visit Marcade eventually.
This will keep you safe then.
As adventurers, I doubt
we'll have the opportunity.
I disagree.
There are less obvious
ways to curry favor.
I sell everything I can, but
I hate to let things go.
I don't know that we can meet your
expectations, but thank you.
I simply thought it
might be useful to you.
Do as you will.
Now, onto today's main event.
Enjoy my collection to
your heart's content.
How do you do, milord?
I'm not a noble.
Nice weather we're having, milord.
It certainly is. Also, I'm not a noble.
Milord!
Welcome, Lord Lizel.
Try again.
Mr. Lizel
Congratulations on forming a party.
Even you've heard about that?
Yes. I see he's not with you today.
We're not always together.
We're grown men.
More importantly
Could you appraise this?
Yes, sir.
It's an infallible hourglass.
Turn it on its side or flip it over,
o matter what you do to it,
it'll measure exactly three minutes.
I was hoping for something better
suited to an adventurer.
Personally, I'm just glad
to see lots of rare items.
You're a good boy, Judge.
Speaking of labyrinth goods,
I saw someone's collection
of paintings the other day.
A lot of people seem
to collect paintings.
Do people often bring
paintings to your shop?
I do appraise them
sometimes, but that's it.
I was shown a painting of Gil.
Apparently, it's quite valuable.
A painting of Mr. Gil
That must be frightening,
but if it were Mr. Lizel
Uh, nothing.
So, you only appraise paintings?
You don't buy them?
I just don't sell them here.
I know a wholesaler, so I do buy them.
A wholesaler?
There's a specialty shop that
deals in labyrinth paintings.
In this nation?
No, in Marcade.
Marcade? Is that far away?
Not that far.
It's about five days by carriage.
I see.
Do you have plans to
visit Marcade, Mr. Lizel?
Why do you ask?
My grandfather actually lives in Marcade.
Your grandfather? I'd like to meet him.
Well, um
Yes?
I'm planning to visit
my grandfather soon.
Anyway, if you'd like
If you're planning to visit Marcade,
I was hoping you'd escort me there.
I've never escorted someone before.
Do you not want to?
I don't mind, but perhaps you should
hire someone with experience.
You don't want to hire other adventurers?
It's not that I couldn't, but
But?
I'd prefer the two of you.
You needn't be so embarrassed.
I'm sorry.
I understand how you feel.
But I must leave for today.
I'll see if I can convince Gil to do it.
Thank you.
I'm sure he's not just
being nice, but still
Anyway, I believe the young
man at the equipment shop
will submit a request for us soon.
You mean Judge?
Oh, you know him?
I sometimes hire him to help appraise
labyrinth goods when I fall behind.
It started when the guild asked
his grandfather for assistance.
His famously accurate grandfather
brought along Judge,
who was still quite young.
They say he already possessed the
appraisal skills he has now.
Since we're the same age, we've had the
opportunity to speak to one another.
So you're good friends.
No. I find his lack of
confidence irritating.
You do?
So, you're going to Marcade?
Will you be moving your
base of operations?
No, I'm just going to see the sights.
I've never been there before.
I see.
Then I won't see you for a while.
That's true.
Do you plan to take any jobs today?
No.
I'm about to go on break.
Would you accompany me?
Gladly, if you'd like.
There's a place nearby
that serves good coffee.
Let's go there.
I look forward to it.
Do you not take many breaks, Stud?
They're not necessary if I'm not tired.
It feels strange seeing
you outside the guild.
Was it overly friendly of me to
discuss non-work matters with you?
No.
I'm glad you did.
Your bruise is gone.
Gil wasn't really serious, anyway.
I would've loved to see
the Blade earnestly beg.
The coffee is good.
I'm glad to hear that.
Hey, you!
They say you're the guy who
teamed up with the Blade.
We were expecting a powerful fighter.
If you paid for his
services, think again.
He's not for someone
like you to show off.
If you have something to say,
let's take this outside.
I'm sorry, Stud. We'll
continue this another time.
No. I want to spend time with you.
Stud, I promise I'll come with you again.
It has to be now.
Please do as I say, all right?
I'll be as stubborn as I have
to be to make you stay here.
Hey, quit ignoring us.
You really like him, don't you?
But we're talking to him right—
Yes, I'm quite fond of him. So
If you're going to bother us,
I can't guarantee you'll live.
Hey, what's going on?
Don't touch me!
If you don't melt it quickly,
you'll lose your arm.
Give me a break!
Damn it!
Sorry about the disturbance.
You should be more careful, Stud.
Will you hate me if I'm not?
No.
I'm just worried about you.
I'm glad.
I know you're slow when it comes
to everything but business,
but try to return as soon as possible.
Slow?
- You mean "yes, sir."
- Ow!
All you've managed to do is grow taller.
Shall we get going?
Take care.
I'll be back, Stud.
Stud is always harsh on me.
It means you're good friends.
This is a magnificent carriage, Judge.
It's pretty comfortable, too.
Thank you.
Even with spatial magic,
you still need a carriage.
Yes. I have a lot of equipment and
materials that reject spatial magic
or rather, magic itself.
Really? You'll have to show me sometime.
Certainly.
The breeze feels nice.
I don't know about being
too comfortable, though.
Is that bad?
Not really.
Just seems like it'd dull the senses.
You mean your ability
to detect presences.
I don't understand it at all.
It just takes experience.
How can I learn?
Spend time in a place where you'll get
killed if you can't detect presences.
I see.
Don't get any stupid ideas.
Does the top open?
T-The top?
The roof.
Oh, yes. You can push it open.
Keep driving. Don't get scared.
What? O-Okay.
Green hyenas.
They'll take your horse.
We'll protect you. Don't worry.
Gil.
I can't get up.
What? You can reach it, can't you?
Please don't assume
everyone can do chin-ups.
You're hopeless.
Here.
Should I take off my boots?
Just hurry up.
There are five of them.
Got it.
Yes, I see five.
Can the horses handle loud noises?
What? Yes, I think they'll be fine.
It's over now.
Huh? What?
I'm going back inside the carriage.
Thank you for driving, Judge.
O-Okay.
This is rather high up, isn't it? Gil.
What are you, a lady?
That gun
Mr. Lizel and his gun
I bet that would fetch a high price.
Next time: "Arriving in Marcade."
