Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

♪
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.
[chuckles]
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.
[MARIA]
Hah!
Hah!
Lower your center of gravity!
Hmm.
Haa!
You're too stiff
with your arms.
Extend!
Oh!
♪
[gulping]
[sighs]
Making weapons
really shaves away
a good amount of mana!
♪
[TAKUMI] I added a wing pattern
to Sofia's spear.
And a flame to Maria's.
I had to differentiate somehow.
SKILL METALWORKING
HAS LEVELED UP
Time for the next step.
Cast the Enhance Attack
and Auto-Repair enchantments.
♪
And done.
All right, moving on
to Maria's short blades.
But, she's a battle maid
so she needs knives
on her thighs!
[gasps]
[CROW 4A]
Idiot! Idiot!
-Yes, I am an idiot.
-[CROW 4A] Idiot!
♪
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.
Just a felt a weird chill
on my thigh, that's all.
[TAKUMI]
Time to start on their armor
but I'll need to get
their measurements first.
The process of obtaining them
could potentially get awkward.
[snickers]
Luckily, I'm always prepared!
Da-da-da-dan! ♪
♪
[MAPLE]
Dolls of Sofia and Maria?
That's right,
I constructed them
with assistance
from Appraisal EX!
[chuckles]
♪
[TAKUMI]
Huh, this is scandalous.
[MAPLE]
Sofia and Maria are scandalous?
[screams]
Listen, never mind that
and churn out
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!
[TAKUMI]
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.
-[gasps]
-[TAKUMI] So, it worked out.
[TAKUMI]
Besides, I now have ice
and lightning magic
thanks to that.
-You're the best, Master!
-You're the best, Master!
It's nothing!
[chuckles]
[TAKUMI]
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.
♪
[HANS]
All right, here ya go.
Two guild cards.
Both rank H.
-Thank you so much!
-Thank you so much!
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?
[chuckles]
Huh?
What the
I hope you aren't thinking
you have a chance
of beating me, little brat!
Master!
[TAKUMI]
What are you doing?
He's terrifying,
get out of the way!
No, I won't stand aside.
These are my friends!
[DEBUL]
If your brain can't understand,
then we'll teach your body.
-[TAKUMI] Rude and vulgar.
-[HANS] Hm?
Huh?
You're nothing like the three
members of Lion Fang.
But you probably eat as much.
Why, you!
[grunts]
[screaming]
[MALE ALLY 4A]
Are you okay, Debul?
-[whimpering]
-[DEBUL] My hand!
-[Debul crying]
-You bastard!
Hold it.
Just what are you doing?
[gasping]
[BARACK]
Hm?
[Debul crying]
[BARACK]
Hey, was this your handiwork?
Um, well, I, uh
My master didn't do
anything, you got it?
[BARACK]
He didn't?
Then explain this man's injury.
[HANS] Guild Master,
those three picked a fight
and Takumi just stood there
and got hit.
Huh?
He's the
This man is Barack.
He's the current master
of the Adventurer's Guild.
Hey, heal this bastard
and escort him out.
[Debul groaning]
Come with me.
[BARACK]
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!
[sighs]
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.
[MAPLE]
Master past the bushes.
Goblins, I count four.
Got a report from Maple.
Four goblins
in the bushes ahead.
[SOFIA]
Then, I'll kill two of them.
[rustling]
[grunts]
[screaming]
[growling]
[TAKUMI]
All three quests were ranked G
or had no rank requirement.
♪
[grunts]
[screams]
[TAKUMI]
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
killed 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.
-[MAPLE] Master.
-What's wrong, Maple?
Are you okay?
[MAPLE]
Soon, I will evolve.
Evolve?
Like right now?
Got it.
Hold on!
[TAKUMI] Get in here
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.
[TAKUMI]
Well, since Maple's gone
it's just the three of us now.
[sighs]
That's all we need.
♪
[SOFIA]
Their numbers are vast.
So, uh,
we're still doing this, huh?
I count three,
maybe four hundred.
Luckily, there's no hostages.
[SOFIA]
So, let's hit them with magic.

Yeah.
We're exhausted
but we handled all your quests.
I think the guild master
will want to hear this.
Could you follow me
to the back?
[groaning]
That's impossible!
What you've done
requires a squad
consisting of multiple members
rank D or higher.
Yeah, that's what I heard,
Guild Master.

What do you mean "you heard?"
Listen up, Kid!

Sorry for the wait!
Maple is reborn!
-Maple?
-An Arachne?
Ah!
I can't believe it!
You've grown cuter!
Maria, I'm so glad
we get to talk!
What hold on,
you can speak now, too?

Oh, forget it.
You guys are amazing, huh?
Excuse me, I must go
prepare your reward.
Also, Takumi you're
promoted to rank E.
Sofia and Maria, you are
both promoted to rank F.
[MARIA] Um, Master, can I have
a moment of your time?
[TAKUMI]
Sure, what's up?
Well, if you've got
any scraps to spare,
I was wondering
if I could have some cloth.
"Any scraps?"
If you need some ask Maple.
Oh, heavens no!
Her thread is of the
very highest quality,
I couldn't bring
myself to waste it.
What are you using it for?
Um, I was going to make
underwear for me and Sofia.
Underwear?
Wouldn't that be difficult
using scraps?
It's simple actually.
You just thread
a few pieces together.
♪

Something like this.
What?
No, hold on.
Underwear's supposed
to be like this!

WOMEN'S PANTIES

Well, then,
want me to get started
on making a set for you?

Ah! Just forget
what I said, okay?

I take it back!
This is amazing!
Please do!
[TAKUMI]
Oh, sure!
Master, Papek is here.
Wonder what he wants.
[choking]
Uh, Maple,
why is he unconscious?
The guy passed out
when he saw me,
so I just threw him in here.
Oh, so he fainted
once he saw your evolution.
[TAKUMI]
Papek came with a message.
Well, more of a request really.
Apparently, Marquis Godwin,
the Lord of Bolton,
wanted to see me.
[gasps]
But why does the Lord
want to meet with me?
I believe it's about
the purification magic devices.
Wait, the toilets?
I remember you mentioned
having a lead
on some backing that would
prevent interference though.
[TAKUMI] Specifically, from
the Holy Empire of Sidonia.
But was that
[PAPEK]
Precisely,
His Excellency,
Marquis Godwin Bolton.
[TAKUMI] Given
the positions we're both in
I couldn't refuse.
♪
[GODWIN] It's a pleasure
to finally meet you.
I must say, your magical device
is truly wonderful.
Thanks to you, the sanitation
of the city has improved,
cutting down
on outbreaks of disease.
The city of Bolton owes you
a great deal, Mr. Takumi.
♪
My thanks.
Please, sir!
There's no need
to bow your head to me.
Oh?
If bowing my head
will improve my domain,
then I'll happily bow
as much as it takes.
[TAKUMI]
He seems like a good lord.
[GODWIN] You
exterminated the goblin camp.
Once again you have my thanks
for dealing with
a serious matter
my own knights
had long overlooked.
Please, sir, we were just
trying to fulfill a quest.
[GODWIN] Yes, but it would
otherwise have been a job
for my knights.
The knight captain
is grateful, as well.
But hear me, from now on,
I would ask you to prioritize
your own well-being.
If something happened to you,
it would be a tremendous loss.
Not just
for the land of Bolton,
but the whole kingdom.
I think that's
an overstatement.
Please, in regard to the
Holy Empire of Sidonia,
don't let down your guard.
They will come for you.
[sighs]
I'm mentally drained.
Master, I finished them.
Hm?
Remind me
what was I trying to make?
Ah!
[TAKUMI]
The underwear.
Women's panties.
Master, you look
more intense now
than when you fought
the Goblin General.
Thanks, Maple!
[TAKUMI] The panties
are finally finished.
Thanks, but, Master,
you were in your workshop
for three days.
You've been working on the
underwear the whole time?
[TAKUMI]
That's right.
[SOFIA]
Well, you look like
you completely
exhausted yourself.
But they really are pretty.
Right?
They're so cute!
[TAKUMI]
Try them on?
[both whimpering]
[screams]
[TAKUMI] Wait, I didn't
mean like in front of me!
I'm sorry, that was
completely inappropriate!
Master, would you like
for me to wear them now?
Huh?
If it'll make you happy,
I'll put them on too.
Likeright now?
That's not necessary!
[door slamming]
I know he's our master
but he's a bit of a wuss,
don't you think?
That's quite rude
of you, Maria!
Fine, Sofia, tell me
what you think then?
[groans]
You're not wrong.
[TAKUMI] [screams]
You can do this, fight it!
What is this?
It feels like everything's
going haywire!
Wait, could this be
some kind of sign
that a part
of Lady Nolyn's blessing
is starting to come undone?
This can't be happening!
It all depends on me now!
Please don't drag me
into whatever this is.
[gasps]
That's right!
I could try them on myself.
No, what am I even
talking about right now?
Go ahead, try them on.
No, no, no!

[NOLYN]
Oh, Takumi.
