An Adventurer's Daily Grind at Age 29 (2026) s01e03 Episode Script
Rirui and Anyango
1
Amazing! There're so many
people and shops!
That's a dungeon market for you.
It's kind of like a little festival.
The dungeon's reset, so you have
adventurers coming for all the new chests.
Which means merchants show up
for all the new adventurers.
That looks delicious.
Come on. We're shopping for clothes.
Well, maybe if you hadn't
burned Rirui's
Huh?
I was just trying to dry it off, okay?
And I'm not great with magic stones
Over there!
Hey!
This kid
This is incredible!
Rirui's instincts are right on this one!
Why, little lady, you've got a great eye!
What kind of egg is it?
No clue. I found it during my travels.
But I predict that it's an egg
that brings good luck.
You predict it?
The egg of good luck
Granted, whether it comes true or not
is all up to the spirits, my friend.
The spirits, huh?
Let's go, Rirui.
Wait, Hajime!
This is a great find!
We'll regret not buying it!
What? What are you yapping about?
Please! Have faith in Rirui's
instincts as an adventurer!
Your adventurer's instincts? Seriously?
Please! Believe Rirui!
May the spirits bless you,
my brother and sister!
Hajime!
Thank you so much!
So, how are we gonna eat it?
It's not for eating!
Ow, ow Sorry about that.
Get back here, Anynango!
Aw, crap!
AN ADVENTURER'S DAILY GRIND AT AGE 29
EPISODE 3: RIRUI AND ANYANGO
You look adorable!
That suits you, Rirui.
I'm surprised a certain someone
picked out something so nice.
It was actually on Natalie's advice.
That explains it, then.
Here you go.
Thanks.
We're hitting up the new dungeon,
right? Better get a move on.
H-Hajime
Rirui's egg!
Look what's become of you!
This is Rirui's fault for leaving
you in Hajime's care!
Forgive me, please!
Don't be stupid.
Here.
That was a close one!
Hajime, let's hurry!
If we don't get to the dungeon soon,
we'll miss out on all the treasure!
And you wanna go dressed like that?
I'll go get changed.
Unbelievable.
Custom dictates that locals let
out-of-towners have any treasure.
But in exchange, we get better gigs.
But the kid's still
struggling against slimes,
so I don't see any treasure in our future.
Blast! This one is fierce!
But now you're doomed!
That's that dwarf kid from before
Wait, what's a kid doing here alone?!
Damn it, where have I seen this before?!
Ugh, this is such a pain!
You little cretin!
Ever so sorry for the trouble my
granddaughter caused you, sonny.
I'm Hajime Shinonome.
I'm a local adventurer.
Oh, I've heard about you!
The sweetheart adventurer
who adopted a little one.
S-Sweet what now?
And you saved my granddaughter!
Looks like the rumors are true.
I'm actually really cool,
and just so you know,
"sweet" isn't really a compliment
when it comes to adventurers.
Is Hajime nice to you, dearie?
Like you wouldn't believe!
Could you pay attention?!
What happened?
Listen here. You're a girl,
so instead of this dungeon nonsense,
you should be more demure.
Not happening!
Anyango!
Honestly.
Maybe I've been too soft on her,
what with her parents gone and all.
Her mom and dad are gone?
A monster got them a long time ago.
Gracious. I wonder if she's headed right
back to the dungeon at this rate.
I wish there was some adult
I could trust her with
Nah, not happening.
It's not about the money!
Go on! Hold the bastard tight!
Who the hell do you think
you're talking to?!
How about you hammer the bastard
then, you skinny fool?!
Good!
Aren't they amazing?
What's that big fiery thing?
A fire spirit.
A spirit?
That's right.
Dwarven craftsmen aren't considered
the real deal until they can contain one!
I wanna get strong soon
so I can stand in the forge myself!
You can't just wait
until you're grown up?
My grandma's gonna die.
She's already real old,
so I've got no time to waste.
I want her to see she doesn't have
to worry about me real soon.
Doesn't have to worry about you
If you're going to join
my team, stop crying!
Maybe Rirui and Anya are the same.
You and me?
Rirui's going to ask Hajime if he'll help!
Seriously?!
Thanks for that, my soul friend!
Hey, Rirui. Where have you been?
Um, Hajime, can Anya come with
Yeah, your name was Anyango, right?
I don't mind you tagging along
every once in a while,
so no more running into the
dungeon on your own, you hear?
Yes!
This is great, Anya!
Yeah!
The downside of being local
Thanks so much!
I did it!
You did it, Anya!
My soul friend!
Friends, huh?
Never really found a use for that
kind of flimsy relationship,
but maybe the little squirt needs it.
Did Hajime teach you how
to fight like this, Rirui?
He did indeed!
You can really count on him, huh?
Is something wrong?
What? No, nothing!
Anya, let's go after another one!
All right!
Sorry!
They've got a train after them?! Seriously?!
Our bad!
Rirui, Anyango! Up against the wall! Now!
This way!
Ow, ow, ow
A-Anya?
Guess that's that.
You okay?
Y-Yes.
I-Is it cold all of a sudden?!
I-I-I-I-Is Veronica around?
This is the chill I get
when she's up to something!
You okay, Anya?
Y-Yeah, I appreciate it, best buddy!
Rirui and Anya are friends.
And friends
don't steal from friends.
Veronica! Where are you?! Quit hiding!

Somebody help!
Damn it! If only I were stronger!
What are you doing to my friends?!
Rirui!
Take this!
You saved us, Rirui!
That's my best friend!
Hajime, Hajime!
Hajime, Rirui could use magic!
I saved you and Anya with magic!
It went boom!
When? Last I saw you,
you were sleeping in a heap.
There's bound to be amazing
power sleeping inside Rirui!
In your dreams, anyway.
Hajime! How do you use magic?
If I could cast magic,
I bet I could be even more useful!
That wouldn't be the accomplishment
you're imagining.
Besides, magic isn't really my thing.
Since she's taken an interest
in spirit channeling,
maybe you should find out
what her type is.
Spirit channeling?
For her?
Yes!
Thanks for the food!
I mean, she can't be much worse
with magic than she is with a sword.
Couldn't hurt to check it out.
What's Rirui's "spirit type"?
Remember when I burned your
clothes the other day?
I used a tool to borrow the
power of the fire spirits.
Fire spirits?
Like the ones I saw in
the workshop with Anya!
Fire, water, earth, and wind
They're usually invisible, but their
spirits are all around us, apparently.
Rirui wants something that explodes!
Like boom!
I see.
Then you'd like Rirui
to practice spirit channeling?
A wonderful idea.
Come right this way, if you will.
Who are you, granny?
An old lady from a church that
shares the teachings of the sun.
Would you like to hear a story
about the sun from long ago?
I-I think I might have
to pass on that one.
It's the kind of knowledge an
adventurer should really be aware of.
Knowledge is power!
That kind of nitty-gritty
tends to make my head hurt.
Salt
Gold
The one-eyed owl
The sun of selection.
That's the Forest of Selection. Go on in.
Y-You're not coming, Hajime?
Nope.
You're the one getting tested.
I'll come save you if you get in
trouble. So go have an adventure.
Off I go!
The first-time fee is five silver coins.
Kinda sketchy
Huh, this isn't scary at all!
What was with them?!
Stare
Stare
Staaare
Glare!
Wh-What was that thing?
Had a scary look in its eyes!
I'll come save you if you get in
trouble. So go have an adventure.
An adventure
Rirui is an adventurer!
This place is no problem at all!
Wow! That's such a big puddle!
Feels great!
Wha
T-Talk about huge!
Y-You wanna fight?
Th-Then bring it on!
R-Rirui can take you down with one hit!
If you won't make the
first move, then I will!
So don't blame me for what happens!
Say your prayers!
My deathblow: Rirui Sandstorm!
BUT THERE WAS NO EFFECT.
Rirui's adventure ends here
No! Hajime needs my help!
Cold!
There's a weird mark now!
Huh?
Oh, welcome back.
Hey. That was fast.
Did you find anything?
There was a giant turtle with a mustache!
A giant mustachioed turtle?
I wonder if she means the Millenian?
That'd mean the spirits of water have
taken a real shine to you, Rirui.
NEVER RAN INTO A PROPER SPIRIT,
DESPITE MANY ATTEMPTS
Also, he drew on me!
Oh, you were given a blessing?
The emblem of water with two scales
That's quite a major water blessing!
It's major?
It means, even without spirit language,
some water spirits will help you.
You're very lucky.
Looks like Rirui got something awesome!
Sure seems like it.
Hajime! Let's try it out in the dungeon!
I'll invite Anya too!
What are you doing, Hajime?!
Off to the dungeon we go!
Yeah, yeah.
A SLIME APPEARED!
Now it's time for Rirui
to show my amazing power!
Behold Rirui's magic!
Rirui?! You okay, Rirui?!
Hang on! I'll get you out of there!
It wasn't supposed to go like this!
