Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

Finally!
Maria,
the refrigerators are done!
Wow.
[cabinet opens]
Oh, there's a cool breeze
coming from the inside!
It's made to keep food cold,
so it doesn't spoil so easily.
[ALL]
Ah!
It's nice, but try not to
leave them open for too long.
[fire crackling]
I synthesized iron,
chromium and nickel
into their alloy,
stainless steel
and worked it into a box shape.
Then added a device
enchanted with cooling magic.
You really are
brilliant, Master,
thank you so much.
This means I can cook meals
with fresh ingredients
any time I want.
So, which color would you like?
Which one
would you choose, Sofia?
I can't decide,
any of these colors
would look lovely
inside the kitchen.
I would pick this one,
it's a nice color.
All right, I'll go ahead
and get this one set up
and take the others
over to Papek's office
because it's time
to start the next project.
Master, will you be making
something new again?
[TAKUMI] No,
just upgrading our equipment.
Our equipment, but why?
Well, after that fight
we had with the Goblin General
and the knights the other day,
I figured the gear that
we have now won't be enough.
The next time we travel,
we'll want to have
the best equipment possible.
Guess you're right.
Both my blacksmith level
and my blacksmithing
skill level have gone up.
Last time I used magical steel
but for our new sets of armor,
I want to try making them
out of mythril and adamantite.
What do you think?
If it helps me
with protecting you,
then it's fine by me.
Sofia and I will
leave it up to you.
Um, Master,
should I upgrade, as well?
Didn't you evolve
the other day?
[birds chirping]
[HANS]
Mythril and adamantite,
those are both rare ores.
I don't know
any blacksmiths here
that can handle
that kind of material.
Perhaps,
you'll be able to find one
in the dwarves'
Kingdom of Nahmstahl.
Well, that's just great.
Don't worry.
I'll make a list
of blacksmiths living there.
That would help, right?
Oh, almost forgot.
You are an alchemist,
aren't you, Takumi?
It would require
a great deal of mana
but you might be
able to synthesize them.
Do you think so?
Having said that,
it might be a lot faster
to obtain the ores on your own.
So, you're saying
I should mine them?
[HANS] Northwest of Barcula,
there's a city called Horas.
Go there.
They have a mine
where you can extract
mythril and adamantite.
[birds chirping]
However,
in order to enter the mine,
you need to become a member
of the Blacksmith's Guild.
Except for one little loophole.
Loophole?
You can accept a quest
to defeat monsters
that appear in the mineshafts.
And then you can mine the ore
while you're inside.
-Simple, right?
-Yeah,
a new quest and ore,
sounds like I can kill
two birds with one stone.
I've got good news
for ya, Takumi.
[gasps]
Guild Master?
Did you know the city of Bolton
has been running low
on Treant wood as of late?
Uh, no, sir, I didn't.
Black Buffalo,
most adventurers
are out hunting those
around this time of year.
Which means very few
are gathering Treant wood
and reserves are dwindling.
That's actually a big problem.
And those wood monsters
live in the Forest of Death
and you happen to be
going that way anyways
so it works out
for the both of us!
Oh, so, basically,
you want me to hunt down
some Treants for you, huh?
You can use space-time magic,
so transporting them
will be a breeze, right?
Should be a piece of cake!
Come on,
that's three birds
with one stone!
Uh, sure, I'll do it.
I think I can make use
of Treant wood
-for myself as well.
-My good man!
But there's one more thing
I want to ask you
while you're being so kind.
A blacksmith is
traveling to Horas.
He needs an escort.
Just how exploitative
is this guild,
seriously?
Oh, you're finally catching on!
Do this for us
and I'll promote you to rank D
and those two
lady friends of yours
will get promoted to rank E.
But I've never done
an escort mission before.
I figure the Lion Fangs
would be a better fit
for the job, don't you?
They sure would!
Sadly, they're out
on an expedition
for a different quest.
Fine, how many days will
it take me to reach Horas?
So, that means you'll do it,
thank you!
Seven, with a regular horse
but if you have
a monster horse about four.
Oh, right.
I can get there a lot faster
with a monster horse,
they can gallop at twice
the speed of an ordinary one.
I'll take a monster horse then.
[HANS]
We're all out.
Only have ordinary horses
at the moment.
-Huh?
-[footsteps approaching]
[RIELL]
Sorry, kid.
The Lion Fangs
are using them now.
-[TAKUMI] Riell!
-Hey,
you're making
name for yourself.
[HANS]
Huh, Riell,
done with the quest already?
That was fast.
No, not yet.
We took down a Black Buffalo
before we could
make it to the quest,
so I decided to
bring it back here first.
Oh, yeah, the advanced monsters
are constantly popping up now.
Escort missions
will be a lot harder.
But tougher foes
mean bigger rewards.
Mm.
Well, I guess I'll head out
in the morning.
I don't want to keep Heath
and the others waiting.
Hey, how about you stay
at my place tonight, Riell?
You're welcome to
use our bath and rest.
A bath?
I'd love one of those!
[TAKUMI]
There's somewhere I gotta be.
So, I can tell you
where I live,
and you can meet up
with me there after I'm done.
Oh, no, it's fine.
I'll come along with you.
PAPEK TRADING
COMPANY
[PAPEK]
An escort mission?
Well, our company
would be more than happy
to lend you a carriage.
-Monster horses, too.
-I appreciate it!
Of course, but we would like
something in return.
If you're collecting
those rare ores,
our company would love it
if you could wholesale
some of them to us.
No problem at all.
Mm.
You're a shrewd one, aren't ya?
[PAPEK]
One more thing,
these refrigerators
are amazing!
When you return
from your quest,
please make
additional refrigerators!
We need more, thank you!
[chuckles nervously]
If you could refrain
from opening and closing it
so excessively,
that'd be great.
♪
[SOFIA] It's late
and Master hasn't returned yet.
[Maria humming]
[SOFIA] I do hope
nothing has happened to him.
[snoring]
I should have gone with him.
[crickets chirping]
Hey, thanks for coming.
I'm sure you're exhausted
from your other quest.
Don't worry about it, kid.
It's still hard to believe
we couldn't find one blacksmith
who could produce
mythril though.
I know. We met with every
single blacksmith on the list.
Aside from the one who wasn't
there when we arrived,
but it's fine.
I'll just do it myself,
I guess.
Riell, what's wrong?
What incredible hostility!
♪
[RIELL] There's no way
I can win this fight.
Not with the equipment I have.
-Takumi, run!
-Huh, why?
[gasps]
[groans]
[thuds]
Get away from him!
[SOFIA]
How dare you?
How dare you?!
How dare you target my Master,
you scoundrel?!
Huh, Sofia?
Master, you're safe now.
No need to worry, I'll deal
with this ruffian for you.
Taste cold steel!
[screams]
Wait, Sofia, wait!
Hold on, I'm not in
any danger, I promise, stop!
Please forgive me.
I didn't realize
I was about to cut down
one of my master's friends.
-[Riell chuckles]
-Oh, no, it's my fault,
I didn't let her know
I would be returning
later than expected.
I'm
sorry.
Hey, it's no big deal, really.
Uh, if you don't mind, Takumi,
I do have a few questions.
[insects chirping]
What is this?
Uh, well, I work a lot,
so I needed help
with a few things.
Why bring him here, Master?
-Hmm.
-[gasps]
[RIELL] Wait a sec!
Is that Maple?
Wow!
You've gotten all cute!
I know you remember me, right?
I hate you, Riell.
[screams]
[thuds]
[whimpering]
Must be nice.
You're surrounded by
all these cute,
adorable girls, Takumi.
How is it that Heath and Bogar
are both married
but I can't even
get a girlfriend!
[crying]
You've got it wrong
they're not my girlfriends.
They're not, huh?
In that case,
what do you think of me?
I'm not interested,
my heart and body already
belong to my master.
-[gasps]
-Well, what about you?
I'm very sorry,
but I've also decided to live
my life by my master's side.
[RIELL] [crying]
Dammit!
Are you okay?
Ready for that bath?
[SOFIA]
I'm in agreement with hunting
-down Treants.
-[RIELL] It's not fair.
Those monsters offer
precious materials,
and I don't have any objections
when it comes to
the quest in Horas either.
I agree,
if that's what you decided.
I'll do my best, too!
Great,
then we head out in three days.
[TAKUMI] Sounds like I'll need
to make more equipment, too.
[birds chirping]
Safe travels, Riell.
Please give my regards
to Heath and Bogar as well!
Got it
and thank you
for the great bath!

It's good for a weapon

[birds chirping]
Hey, Papek,
thanks again for the carriage!
The client is already
waiting inside,
so whenever you're ready.
Hi, I'm Iruma Takumi.
I'll be escorting you
to the city of Horas.
And I'm Dgambo, the blacksmith.
It's nice to meet you.
[carriage rumbling]
Maria, I didn't know you were
so good at handling horses!
Back when I was
at the Mulan Company,
I took care of a monster horse
nicknamed "the Angry God."
So, this isn't my first time.
[HANS]
Guild Master,
we've received word
from the Horas branch.
Apparently,
the monsters in the forest
have grown more active.
[scoffs]
They waited until now
to share that information?
I know, sir,
and Takumi's already left.
[BARACK]
It's dangerous enough as it is
when the Treants go berserk.
Let's hope they don't run
into any advanced species.
Oh, that's wonderful.
I'm delighted to know
his royal Majesty
enjoys the tribute.
Indeed, said he would
love to see them
implemented in
the royal capital, as well.
That's wonderful news.
[SELVUS] The city of Bolton's
little sewage problem
is steadily being resolved
and word of that
has reached the royal capitol.
Although,
I believe it has spread
further than expected.
You're referring to
The Holy Empire of Sidonia?
[SELVUS]
Hmm.
I'm afraid Sidonia's been
made aware
of the recent modifications
that have improved the city.
It's likely
they'll start speaking up.

Dgambo,
I set up a simple barrier
so you should be
safe regardless.
Right, the guild filled me in.
Just go ahead
and hunt your Treants,
will you?
[TAKUMI]
Hey, Sofia,
is there a way to tell Treants
apart from ordinary trees?
They're nearly impossible
to distinguish, but
with sense magic
and a perceptive eye
for small details
you can pick them out.
-Over there.
-Oh.
Look at the tree
slightly to the right.

-That's one?
-Yes.
It's a Treant.

That was easier than expected.
Not quite,

-Huh?
-We're surrounded.
The Treants have
become enraged now.
Their numbers are incredible.
That means a bigger haul!
We shouldn't fight them
individually.
It'll take too long.
Let's use magic.
Good idea.

we finally arrived
at the mining town

We used our ride to
head to the Horas branch
of the Adventurer's Guild.
But why exterminate Iron Moles?
Kid, these iron monsters
feed on ores,
so they'll be
your worst enemies.
And if you accept the quest
to exterminate the moles
then you should be
able to enter the mine.

[groans]
Sofia, can you finish it off?
[SOFIA]
Right.
Takumi,
what was all that, exactly?
Master, how were you
able to defeat the moles?
Well, uh, I thought
since they're monsters
who live in darkness
that they would hate the light,
so
Really,
you're saying that's it?
I am.
This is strange, though.
Don't you think we took out
those monsters a bit
too easily, Master?
Oh, uh,
I mean were you expecting
to have an intense battle
or something?
[Maria crying]
[MARIA] I didn't even
get to do anything!
I'm sorry for being
useless to you.
I just stood here.
Like a useless mole constantly
holed up in the ground.
No, a useless mole
would've done something,
-I'm lower than that!
-Hey, Maria?
Moles are supposed to be
in the ground.
[TAKUMI] We were able to mine
a huge load of ore
without any interruptions.
So, we returned to Bolton.
The next day, I decided to
visit Dgambo at his workshop,
I had him teach me
everything he knew
about the basics
of synthesizing
and forging mithril
and adamantite alloys.
♪
I combined mythril ore,
magical iron,
salamander gallstones,
and crushed up
a few magical stones.
[hammering]
That imbued the mythril knife
I forged with a fire element.
[water hissing]
[hammering]
Many days and countless hours
spent on the synthesis.
It wasn't as simple as
working with magical steel.
Then I got to work
on producing the armor
using mithril
and adamantite alloys.
It was quite the upgrade!

EARTH (FIRE & EARTH ELEMENTS)
Master, I'm speechless.
This armor is so amazing.
Well, great,
they look good on you.
I kept pouring in as much mana
as the magic stones could take.
Then the stones turned blue,
so I analyzed them
and found they had become
magical crystals.
I imbued them with elements
matching the magic you use too.
Master, what about your magic?
The "Thunderclap?"
I enchanted it with
an extra-large version
of Enhanced Agility.
Now, I can run
fast as lightning.
Uh-huh!
[thuds]
[groans]
[thuds]
That hurt.
Man, that was lame.
What do you mean?
I didn't see anything, Master.
So weird.
I cannot remember anything
from the last 20 seconds.
Guess I need to
practice a bit more.
I made this spear for you.
I call it, "Tempest."

find yourself in danger,
I will gladly
sacrifice my life.
Huh?
So, to that end,
can you make me
a strong and sturdy shield?
A shield, huh?
Sure, you got it.
Thank you so much.
