Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e06 Episode Script
A Drake Horse Appears
[MUSUDAN]
The widespread rumors
regarding these magical devices
have reached our lands
of Sidonia.
Apparently,
they purify your sewage.
After hearing this,
the Church of Divine Light,
has issued an
appeal to the Pope
of the Empire of Sidonia.
The Pope stated that
light magic's a gift from God
bestowed upon
the Church of Divine Light.
And, as such,
purification magic,
it falls under the purview
of the church as well.
-Meaning?
-Hm.
The purification magic circle
and its patent
are to be turned over
to the church at once!
Hm. You said the power
is a gift from their God, yes?
So why does the church not make
the magical devices themselves?
Well, the Pope
also stated the following
"It is absolutely inexcusable
to cast such sacred magic
on a toilet."
Therefore,
you're to find the one
who created this device
and turn them
over to the Holy Empire
of Sidonia immediately
or else
I must refuse.
[gasps]
I warn you.
The Pope
is considering recalling
all of the church's priests
from your land.
No priest will reside
in the Kingdom of Barcula!
Very well, by all means,
recall away.
Ah.
You have my word.
We shall not interfere.
EPISODE 6
A DRAKE HORSE APPEARS
[TAKUMI]
But was that really okay?
I realize you're protecting me
but he's still a messenger
of Sidonia.
It's certainly not a problem.
Wait a second, but that means
we're turning
the church against us, right?
Mr. Takumi,
you're from a rural town
so I'm sure you haven't
been made aware of this.
In this kingdom
there's another religion aside
from the Church
of Divine Light.
Oh, the Church of Creation,
is that right?
[PAPEK]
So, you do know about it.
Yes, the Church of Creation
that worships
the Goddess Nolyn.
[TAKUMI]
Butif the Church of Creation
worships Lady Nolyn,
then what God does the Church
of Divine Light worship?
Ah, yes, I believe that would
be the God named Anat.
Who's Anat?
[PAPEK]
Oh, never mind that.
This kingdom upholds
freedom of religion,
so there are many citizens
who are committed
to the long-standing
Church of Creation.
For good reason, the church's
priests administer
recovery magic and ask
little more in return
than a simple show
of appreciation.
In that case,
the Church of Divine Light
I take it they charge people?
-For the same service?
-Indeed.
So, let me guess,
the Church of Divine Light's
being propped up
by the Holy Empire of Sidonia,
-is that about the size of it?
-[PAPEK] As a matter of fact
[TAKUMI] I should avoid
getting involved with them.
[PAPEK]why I'm here
today, Mr. Takumi!
Our lord has a request for you.
Oh? A request?
Well, um
The thing is,
I may have made
a little arrangement
with Marquis Godwin
to provide His Royal Majesty
with samples of your toilet
and refrigerator
with their magical devices.
-[whimpering]
-And now,
His Royal Majesty is
most interested in meeting you,
so he's ordered the Marquis
and I to bring you to him
at once!
What, hold on a minute!
Of course, you are free
to decline the request,
and I assure you
His Royal Majesty
will not be angry.
The decision's entirely
up to you, Mr. Takumi.
[SOFIA] You're going
to the royal capital,
Bakilatos, really?
That's right. His Royal Majesty
did protect me
from Sidonia's interference,
so I can't very well
turn him down.
I would like to ask the two
of you to come with me.
But if you'd rather
remain here, that's okay too.
-Yes, I'll go.
-Me too!
I finally get to see
the royal capital!
Hey, Sofia,
have you been there before?
No, it's my first time.
It'll be a first for me, too!
All right, then we'll be
heading out in a week.
In the meantime, there are
a whole lot of preparations
that need to be made.
How long do you think it'll
take us to get to the capital?
With a monster horse carriage,
I think seven days.
A whole week?
In that case, I'll make sure
we've got plenty of food
for the trip.
Maria, you're amazing.
Master, please.
You can leave this to me!
And while you're doing that,
I was thinking I'd start
working on new cloaks
for you two.
Oh, new cloaks? For us?
Yep, that's right.
Papek got me some
dark element magical stones.
With those
I can enchant the cloaks
with Block Perception.
Block Perception, huh?
That could come in handy
in the middle of combat.
Mm-hmm. Also, I would
suggest you keep them on
whenever we head into town.
I think it'll help us avoid
being approached by bad people.
Hey, I've been thinking.
The master sees value
in everyone else
but isn't valuing himself
enough.
Yes, I agree.
He's a very attractive man
and his talent
as a producer is unmatched.
He's one of a kind.
Add onto that his disposition.
-Hmm?
-What's wrong?
Oh-ho.
What? Why are you staring
at me that way?
I was simply outlining
why he's such a good master!
Oh, good master,
that's all huh?
Uh, hey, look!
We should check out that
black buffalo meat over there!
Sofia's in love! Adorable!
[church bell tolling]
I see you
but where's your offering?
[gasps]
Lady Nolyn.
Hey, it's been a while,
dear Takumi!
You're going
to the royal capital?
I take it that you're praying
for safe travels then.
I need to see
an offering first though.
I know we'll get there.
But first, the Goddess
of the Church of Divine Light
is called Anat, right?
Correct.
Oh, that was easy.
Okay, uh, so to be clear,
she's a totally distinct
Goddess from you, right?
Ugh, the one
and only Goddess is me!
Huh, then who exactly is Anat?
Well,
you'll learn that in due time.
In due time, huh?
-What's this? You're curious?
-[gasps]
-[growling]
-[TAKUMI] Sort of.
The thing is
it's starting to feel like
the Empire of Sidonia
has been drawing closer to me.
And so I was thinking
about your blessing.
Didn't you say it might come
undone depending on my actions?
-Yeah.
-Which means the interference
from Sidonia is tied
in to that somehow?
No, it's not.
I must point out
that Sidonia happens to be
the reason you're here
in Mildgard in the first place.
That goes beyond the level
of a blessing's power.
That makes sense.
Oh, so about the heroes
that were summoned by Sidonia.
what happened to them?
I'd have thought their arrival
would have caused
quite the commotion.
Too many questions.
But okay, the truth of it is
I may have messed with time
a little when you left.
I sent you to one year before
the summoning of the heroes.
What? A whole freaking year,
so that means they
haven't been summoned yet!
Yep, and they won't be
for another few months.
Wait, hold on!
What's the point of sending me
off before the summoning?
All right, time's up.
What are you, a prison guard
during visiting hours now?
Until next time.
And don't forget
my offering again.
Hint, I love to eat sweets!
Wait, you haven't answered
my question--
[thwacks]
[thuds]
Oh!
Great,
that wasn't helpful at all.
Well, I'm not planning
on meeting the heroes,
so guess it doesn't matter.
[both grunting]
You've come a long way,
Sir Akira!
[groaning]
You almost had me.
I surely would've
lost this fight and my life.
If I were one second slower.
Why, you're quite
the flatterer, sir.
No, no.
The growth you've achieved
in these few weeks
is astonishing.
-You really have improved.
-[spits]
Wow!
[laughs]
[gasping]
They match Master's clothes!
But, Master, I fear
this is a bit too brazen.
You think? So, does that mean
you don't like it?
No, I absolutely love it.
That goes for me too!
Well, that's a relief.
But I'll say this, you both
look good in anything.
Okay, Master.
Now you're going too far!
[groans]
Did I say something
inappropriate again?
[MARIA]
Huh?
No way!
You're gonna make a carriage?
I gotta start thinking
long-term from now on.
It'll be better to have our own
instead of borrowing one
every time
we're about to travel.
I can make the carriage,
but we'll still
need a monster horse.
Guess I can always borrow one
from the guild.
[laughs]
My dear Master.
The city of Bolton
is commonly known as
the "Town of Adventurers?"
So, do you know
why we call it that?
Nope, sure don't
and I've also never heard it
called that before this moment.
[gasping]
Shame on me
for assuming you knew that.
When in fact you didn't
have any idea!
What's wrong with me!
I'm just a chilly toilet
pretending to be
a refrigerator!
Another toilet metaphor?
So, you wanna tell me
why it's called that?
Remember the Forest of Death.
Just outside of Bolton?
Well, there's many other areas
just like that.
With different creatures.
There's unicorns
and drake horses,
which are far better
than monster horses.
I even heard
there's griffons, too!
[whimpering]
[insects chirping]
[birds chirping]
Sofia, are drake horses
better than monster ones?
They are. Better speed,
stamina, tougher.
Monster horses pale
in comparison.
Interesting. Is that because
they're dragon monsters?
No,
they're not dragon monsters.
They actually look
a lot like ordinary horses.
Although there are
some distinct differences,
there's a rhino-like horn
and their bodies
are entirely covered in scales
like a dragon.
I see now. That's where
the name comes from.
Hey, Master, Sofia, Maria!
What are you doing?
Come on!
Maple's excited, isn't she?
I guess so. Maybe she's happy
to meet someone like her.
Huh? Maple, no!
You don't need anyone
but us, but mainly me!
Hmph!
A Bush Wolf!
That's weird.
It ran right past us.
That's because our cloaks
have Block Perception!
If they can deceive
a Bush Wolf's nose,
then these cloaks
are really good.
That may be true, however
Ah
I'd rather remove them.
Seeing as
we still need to train,
it would be better
if we fought our enemies.
Ah, once again, her weird
switch has been flipped.
-[grunts]
-[thuds]
Oh, wow.
Killed with one blow.
Good job, now we have
some extra meat!
I can dry it and add it
with the rest of our supplies!
Hey, let's go already!
Right. Oh?
That's a treant. But it's dead.
Then it's okay to take this,
right?
I mean, we will be needing
treant wood for the carriage.
And there just so happens to
be some right in front of us.
I was going
to buy some from Papek
but this should be enough
to make the whole carriage!
I'd be happy to help.
Master!
Cutting meat, cutting meat!
Cutting wood, cutting wood,
cutting wood, cutting wood!
Fine, I'm leaving without you!
That's really strange.
There's lots of tree monsters
here.
Uh. Something here.
Uh. Wow!

Yeah, thank goodness.
I called! Where were you?
I was calling out for you,
Master!
I'm sorry.
This was in the way.
Good idea weaving
your threads into layers.
It created a sturdy defense.
But they seem to
have blocked mana as well.
I could feel
our mana link drop so,
I figured something was wrong.
Then I followed
the trail it left.
Sorry I'm late,
you must've been scared.
Master!
[MARIA]
I can't believe it!
Isn't she Yeah, this is
a drake horse, Master!
She must have passed out
from her wounds.
She needs help.
Master, she's hurt.
You have to save her!
I see.
So, you were just trying
to protect her, huh?
All right, then.
♪
Ugh! She repelled me?
She's unconscious but maybe,
she's still cautious
when it comes to humans.
No way! She's going to die!
We must hurry,
other monsters are approaching.
Staying here is dangerous.
Master,
please don't leave her behind!
-Help her!
-I will. Don't you worry.
Wait, you're putting her away?
Maple, get inside
and stay with her
until I call you, okay?
Right!
That's reckless!
It's not a good idea
to put her in there
without a familiar pact!
If you do that you will put
an intense strain
on your body, Master!
Yeah, but that's okay.
I'm fine.
I'll just drink a potion.
And then I'll be fine.

Why isn't he awake yet,
it's been over 12 hours.
[SOFIA]
It's expected.
He's resting now,
but he's still maintaining
that pocket dimension
despite its high strain.
What about Maple,
she hasn't come out yet.
I know. Maybe because
he hasn't summoned her
and the horse
is still frightened.
[SOFIA]
Unless Maple opens it
the pocket dimension will keep
holding that drake horse
and Master
will slowly wither away.
We have to do something.
What can we do though?

Master's mana and find her.
Maple, can you hear me?

and she's still frightened.
Do you think
you can get her out?
But if we appear
somewhere unfamiliar,
she might become aggressive.
[SOFIA]
I know but keeping her there
isn't going to do any good.
We can't heal her, and Master
will remain unconscious.
[MAPLE]
You're right.
[SOFIA] Maple, can you
replicate the same barrier
you made before?
Perhaps
it will help her stay calm

Oh, of course. Good idea!
I'll do it.
I'll bring her to the garden!

but we'll still
need a monster horse.
Guess I can always borrow one
from the guild.
[laughs]
My dear Master.
The city of Bolton
is commonly known as
the "Town of Adventurers?"
So, do you know
why we call it that?
Nope, sure don't
and I've also never heard it
called that before this moment.
[gasping]
Shame on me
for assuming you knew that.
When in fact you didn't
have any idea!
What's wrong with me!
I'm just a chilly toilet
pretending to be
a refrigerator!
Another toilet metaphor?
So, you wanna tell me
why it's called that?
Remember the Forest of Death.
Just outside of Bolton?
Well, there's many other areas
just like that.
With different creatures.
There's unicorns
and drake horses,
which are far better
than monster horses.
I even heard
there's griffons, too!
[whimpering]
[insects chirping]
[birds chirping]
Sofia, are drake horses
better than monster ones?
They are. Better speed,
stamina, tougher.
Monster horses pale
in comparison.
Interesting. Is that because
they're dragon monsters?
No,
they're not dragon monsters.
They actually look
a lot like ordinary horses.
Although there are
some distinct differences,
there's a rhino-like horn
and their bodies
are entirely covered in scales
like a dragon.
I see now. That's where
the name comes from.
Hey, Master, Sofia, Maria!
What are you doing?
Come on!
Maple's excited, isn't she?
I guess so. Maybe she's happy
to meet someone like her.
Huh? Maple, no!
You don't need anyone
but us, but mainly me!
Hmph!
A Bush Wolf!
That's weird.
It ran right past us.
That's because our cloaks
have Block Perception!
If they can deceive
a Bush Wolf's nose,
then these cloaks
are really good.
That may be true, however
Ah
I'd rather remove them.
Seeing as
we still need to train,
it would be better
if we fought our enemies.
Ah, once again, her weird
switch has been flipped.
-[grunts]
-[thuds]
Oh, wow.
Killed with one blow.
Good job, now we have
some extra meat!
I can dry it and add it
with the rest of our supplies!
Hey, let's go already!
Right. Oh?
That's a treant. But it's dead.
Then it's okay to take this,
right?
I mean, we will be needing
treant wood for the carriage.
And there just so happens to
be some right in front of us.
I was going
to buy some from Papek
but this should be enough
to make the whole carriage!
I'd be happy to help.
Master!
Cutting meat, cutting meat!
Cutting wood, cutting wood,
cutting wood, cutting wood!
Fine, I'm leaving without you!
That's really strange.
There's lots of tree monsters
here.
Uh. Something here.
Uh. Wow!

It's not a good idea
