Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e08 Episode Script
Let's Choose a Party Name!
♪
[bubbling]
Oh.
♪
[REYVA]
This is incredible!
Synthesizing
adamantite alloy
using a complex alchemy circle.
[TAKUMI]
I know, right?
It may look advanced
but I can assure you
the fundamental structure's
the same
-as the spiraling sweets one.
-Ah,
-allow me to take care of that!
-Huh?
Don't you worry, Reyva.
You'll be able to create
alchemy circles
like that soon enough.
Hmm.
I'm not so sure about that.
I mean,
they're really advanced.
Well, I'm sure.
And let's not forget,
to be an alchemist you need
a very important quality.
One which you
most certainly possess!
What would that be, Master?
Whenever you're watching
how things come together,
you get so excited.
I do!
I can't help myself,
it's all so fascinating!
[TAKUMI]
Let's move on.
Now, I think
I'll actually have you help me
synthesize
some of the simple components.
[REYVA] Of course!
I'd love to!
[chuckles softly]
EPISODE 8
LET'S CHOOSE A PARTY NAME!
Hmm.
-Huh?
-[LOBOS] Oh,
is this fine carriage yours?
Well, uh,
actually it's a carriage
for His Royal Majesty.
I just finished making it.
[LOBOS]
Goodness,
-you made this yourself?
-Sure did.
I see.
You're better than I've heard,
Sir Iruma Takumi.
Uh, how do you know my name?
-Oh, Your Majesty!
-Oh, Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty?"
Forgive me
for the late introduction.
I'm Lobos Barcula.
The man who rules this kingdom.
What, you're that Majesty?
[shudders]
Dear boy,
no need to be so formal
this is an unofficial audience.
But I thought we would be
having the audience
in the reception room,
Your Majesty!
Still, I'm sure
you have your reasons.
[LOBOS]
Of course, I do.
Making the three of you
wait around in a stuffy room
for a personal audience
with me,
only to show up
with an ostentatious
procession of subordinates.
Well, it all sounds
so dull and overly formal!
[all shuddering]
Just kidding.
Well, kind of.
In all seriousness,
I really wanted
to thank
the famous alchemist
without the formalities.
Uh?
Thank me?
Yes, that's right.
Thanks to you,
we have a solution
to the sewage problem
that's long plagued us.
Thank you.
[TAKUMI]
No, please!
You don't need to
bow your head to me,
Your Majesty!
And I apologize.
Normally I would host a banquet
and bestow lavish rewards
and a peerage upon you.
But unfortunately,
such an event would invite
the risk
of unwanted interference.
Well
I'm grateful to you
for keeping me
out of Sidonia's firing line.
I thank you.
No need for thanks.
As a king, it is my duty.
[TAKUMI]
Thank goodness.
It seems like the king values
people over protocol,
just like the lord.
♪
The king gave me a reward
for the magical devices
that resolved
their sewage problem.
And then we left the castle.
♪
[LOBOS]
Simon, Galahat,
this meeting with Mister Takumi
never took place.
Understood?
[SIMON] Right. I'll place
a gag order immediately.
But still Takumi's influence
will only spread further.
It's inevitable,
once we export the magical
devices to other nations.
Yes, I know,
and that's what
I'm concerned about.
At that point,
the Church of Divine Light
will certainly retaliate.
♪
[TAKUMI]
It took us several days
to make it back to Bolton.
And when we got back,
I bought the mansion.
No more renting from Papek,
it was officially ours.
♪
My very own home.
No, that's not right,
our home.
Huh, you're forgoing
your wages again?
You already provide us
with tons of delicious food
and many other necessities,
so I'm completely fine
with the routine allowance
you give me.
Yeah, I don't really
need wages either.
-Uhh
-[TAKUMI] But still,
even if you don't
need them now,
wouldn't it be a good idea
to keep your wages
and build a savings?
I mean, your contracts with me
have to end someday.
Elves have long lives.
I'm sure you will pass away
before our contract ends.
That means,
I'll still be here
protecting your grave,
for the rest of my life.
-Huh?
-[MARIA] I want to live
one day longer.
And then be buried
right next to you.
I can see it now, the lovely,
obedient servant
placed beside her master.
Wouldn't that be perfect?
I guess so.
THE HOLY
EMPIRE OF SIDONIA
[ELIZABETH]
Interesting,
so this is the contraption used
to purify sewage in Bolton?
[HOODED MAN]
Yes.
While infiltrating Bakilatos
we managed to
procure one of them.
My, what an abhorrently
heretical device this is.
They care nothing
for the Goddess Anat's wrath.
As Pope,
my father laments this deeply.
Most believers of the Church,
they're saying we should
decisively strike down
the source
of this evil immediately.
Using the Squadron, I assume?
[HOODED MAN]
Correct.
The source of this evil
resides in Bolton.
And we will not tolerate
those who threaten the dignity
of our Pope and Anat.
I guess it can't hurt,
disposing of this evil
before it spreads.
May all be
as the great Anat wills it,
in her wisdom.
[birds chirping]
[TAKUMI] You want to
register with the Guild?
[REYVA]
Yes.
I'd like to assist you
as an adventurer too.
Much like Sofia and Maria.
I want to improve
my alchemy skills
and help you
by being a better craftsman.
To do that,
I need to raise my stats
and my mana even more!
That makes sense.
I guess it's true
that adventuring is a good way
to increase your mana.
Hm.
[HANS] All right, Reyva,
you're registered and all set.
My card, thank you.
And I really appreciate
your willingness
to send whatever money
I earn along to my family
and for so cheap, too!
Hey, no problem.
Members often send their
earnings to their families.
It's pretty common.
And it's easy to handle.
Well, we're grateful.
[HANS]
Oh, by the way, Takumi,
would you name
your party already?
I've waited a while now.
Name my party?
Everyone except Reyva
is rank D.
[HANS] To be frank,
you'll be thrilled to know
your party's one of
the top-class parties
at this guild.
And you can't remain
nameless forever.
So, when you say
our party name,
do you mean something like
the Lion's Fang?
-[HANS] Yep.
-[chuckles softly]
Well, I didn't think about it
because I'm not
really setting out
to be an adventurer.
Besides, we're nothing
like the Lion's Fang.
We don't have
clear role divisions
and we don't have
a front-liner,
plain and simple.
It might be different
if I could fight
a little further to the front.
[BARACK]
You can leave that to me!
Oh?
Oh, Barack?
He's gigantic!
The body is our biggest asset!
If you have a strong body,
then you can survive anything!
But didn't you hear
what I said?
I'm not planning on
being an adventurer, so--
I'll train you!
Whoo!
[thuds]
-[groans]
-Back on your feet!
[groans]
Hans told you
to pick a name, right?
One fitting for your party.
[groans]
Um, Master?
Do you need my help?
[TAKUMI]
Honestly, not very much.
But I did think of something.
What are you waiting for,
spit it out already!
I was thinking
the "Adventurers."
What the hell?
Rejected!
[groans]
Tell me what symbolizes
the Iruma Takumi
who was born into this world?
I want to hear it!
In your party's name!
Uh,
Team Toilet?
[BARACK]
Are you takin' this seriously?
It needs to be
something catchy,
like when you hear
the Lion's Fang!
[TAKUMI]
The Toilet Lid!
[BARACK] Get your mind
out of that toilet!
Who knew
the alchemist's path could be,
oh, so terribly thorny?
[Takumi groans]
[MARIA]
A name for our party?
Yeah, I don't suppose
you two have anything, huh?
He throws me around
like a ragdoll
every time he rejects a name.
I'm so sore.
[groans]
"Mr. Takumi and His Servants."
How's that?
That's just
a simple description,
so I'll probably
get thrown around for that.
I know.
So, what about "An adventurer
Mastering Alchemy,
his super awesome
elf bodyguard,
his nice maid
who cleans and fights,
his really powerful pets
and his Alchemist-in-Training?"
Still a description,
just a lot longer
and more detailed.
[TAKUMI]
Barack told me to come up with
something that represents
who we are on a deeper level.
"Master of Toilets,
refrigerators, and underwear?"
Oh, yeah, I'd get thrown
a few times for that one.
[gasps]
No, why did I give you a name
that would result in
you being thrown repeatedly.
I'm nothing but ah
walking toilet
adorned with a sign saying,
"I'll handle the housework!"
No, even lower than that!
-[whimpering]
-Hey, it's okay, Maria.
That said, Barack did
specifically tell me
to steer clear
of toilets name-wise.
Coming up with a party name
is really hard, isn't it?
Sofia, any idea
That swine!
Leaving my Master
so bruised and ragged!
He'll pay dearly, I promise!
Huh, Sofia?
I'll return shortly.
I'm off to take his head.
[TAKUMI]
Wait, hold on, Sofia,
you don't need to do that!
-He's just training me,
that's all! -Master!
Yeah,
I did take a beating today.
Trust me, I know
but thanks to him
I managed to level up
a lot of skills today,
so it's fine, okay?
Uh.
Uh.
[TAKUMI]
Looks like I'm going to suffer
until we decide on a name,
great.
THE HOLY

MONTHS AFTER TAKUMI'S
PRESENT TIME
[men grunting]
[swords clanging]
[grunts]
[swords clang]
[screams]
[YAMATO]
What's the matter,
holding back again?
I don't need that anymore!
[screams]
[chuckles]
He charges in
without pulling back
every time.
That won't work in real combat.
You're saying your style would?
Well, I am a hero, remember?
Yamato and I are heroes too,
you know.
[AKIRA]
Never mind that,
why don't we ditch this
and go somewhere togeth--
-No, thanks.
-[AKIRA] And why not?
Don't tell me you're worried
about your slave attendant
over there.
Hey, now,
you're acting how you were
before we were summoned.
[AKANE] And you're
acting like more of a jerk.
[men grunting]
Tch!
♪
[AKANE]
Anat created mankind
and then created the beastmen
and elves to serve them.
The Church of Divine Light,
it preaches absolute
human supremacy but
That wouldn't make sense
based on what I heard
the other day
from those traveling merchants.
He said
the Church of Creation teaches
that "all races
are children of Nolyn."
This nation dominated
by the Church of Divine Light
summoned us.
We must have a role.
But what is it?
They tell us
we're here for world peace
but what are they trying
to make us do?
[TAKUMI]
Here.
Are you giving these to me,
Master?
You said you could use a staff.
So, I fabricated one
from an elder treant
and the ring's
for activating spells.
The metal wrapped around it
is a mythril alloy.
The next time we go adventuring
you'll be well-equipped.
I can't thank you enough!
So lucky.
Why don't I get
to have weapons?
Well, I made these for you.
Oh.
A weapon just for me?
I figured you would need one
and these won't get in the way
when you're manipulating
your threads.
Reyva helped me
make it for you.
Thanks, Master.
Reyva, thank you both!
What about "Cat's Claw?"
[choking]
Stop trying to rip off
"Lion's Fang!"
Oh, I got it!
How about
"Master
and his devoted servants
unite to crush the enormous man
who has no hair!"
-Ow!
-Rejected!
[TAKUMI] This is bad.
At this rate,
Sofia might snap
and take him down.
You're constantly
leaving yourself open.
Huh?
Tighten your defense!
You need to react faster!
The guildmaster's attacks,
they're aimed precisely
at each of your weak spots!
[TAKUMI] She's gone
full instructor on me.
[HANS]
Takumi,
wanna take on an escort quest?
Hey, that's not a bad idea.
You can use that
to build your rank up.
I guess.
So, how many days
are we talking here?
Well, if we factor in
that neat carriage of yours,
a trip to the town
of Kilbus and back
would only take four days.
Oh, and the request
came from Papek's company.
That's weird,
don't the Lion's Fang
usually take on
the escort quests?
Yep, you're right.
Unfortunately, they're all out
on a different quest
at the moment.
And we're the backup?
Those sound like
some awfully large shoes
to fill if you ask me.
-Hm.
-Hm.
-Hm.
-Oh!
Guess we'll do it,
thanks, Hans.
Sounds good and try
to have your party name
by the time you return.
-Yahoo!
-Yeah,
try and stop us, monsters!
I'm ready for you now!
[horse galloping]
[carriage rumbling]
I'm very pleased
to have you all here,
thank you for escorting me.
It's my pleasure.
It'd be nice if there weren't
any monster attacks though.
In addition
to the purification devices,
we've packed up
many daily necessities.
Also, the president
of our company
asked me to purchase milk
while I'm there.
Huh, wait,
they have milk in Kilbus?
Yes, sadly, it doesn't reach
the city of Bolton very often
and they have another
dairy product as well.
What was it?
Oh, yes,
I believe it was cheese.
Whoa, cheese?
[TAKUMI] They have
milk and cheese there!
♪
-Up ahead.
-[door opens]
[goblins growling]
[bush wolves growling]
Goblins and bush wolves.
A territory war, perhaps?
Camellia, attack!
[electricity crackling]
♪
-Oh.
-Killed with one strike.
Somehow, I doubt
monsters will attack us now,
thanks to your horse.
Yep, all bark and no bite!
[birds chirping]
TOWN OF KILBUS
Ah!
[TAKUMI]
It's cream stew!
Never seen a white soup,
I'm intrigued!
It does have a nice smell,
though!
All right, let's dig in!
[chomps]
[all munching]
-[REYVA] It's tasty, right?
-[SOFIA] It's tasty!
[TAKUMI]
Wow!
There are plenty of points
to improve on
but it's a nostalgic taste.
Uh.
Um, Master?
Let's buy milk and cheese
before we go back home.
Then we can go tonight.
I hear the market's open.
All right.
[chomps]
[MAPLE]
Cheese is so good!
[MARIA]
It's my first time eating it
and I'm really surprised!
I would give anything
for my little brother
and mother to have some.
[TAKUMI]
It's only been a few months
since I came to this world.
And yet,
it feels like I've been here
for many years.
I like it here
but I'll never
get back to my old life.
Never again.
This is my home now.
Eh, what am I saying?
It's not that bad.
I'm probably
having these thoughts
because of the milk and cheese.
Oh, yeah, and rice.
Hey, Sofia, what about rice?
They eat grain
in the Kingdom of Samandor.
Are you referring to that?
They have rice?
Awesome!
[SOFIA] It isn't on the market
in Barcula though.
[MARIA]
I think they were selling it
in the royal capital.
Seriously?!
If I'd known that I would have
peeked in
at the market already!
Do you want to
eat rice that badly, Master?
I mean, kinda.
I heard rumors.
So, I wanted to try it,
that's all.
[shudders]
Are you okay?
Or did something happen?
-No, it's just
-[crickets chirping]
I mean, it's been over a decade
since you left your home,
right?
Oh, yes.
Do you miss it?
The place you come from
and the food
you grew up eating?
Do you ever think about
going back home?
I don't reminisce
over my hometown
because I like where I am now.
I lived under that curse
for nearly 50 years
like a caged bird.
I'd given up hope.
But forming
a contract with you,
it allowed me
to live a new life.
Master, I don't think about
going back home because
I think of what adventures
await me here,
beside you, all of you.
It's because of you
I'm free from that cage.
I can spread my wings again.
Your wings?
Time stopped for me back then.
Now, I can fly once more.
I'm looking forward
to what life has for me
in the future,
as it should be.
There's no need to look back.
The past is the past.
[MARIA] Yes, I agree.
I'm happy now.
I look forward
to what each day brings
and the next one, too.
I feel the same way!
Me, too!
-[snorting]
-So does Camellia!
I see.
I guess I've started
living a new life as well.
In a weird way, you could say,
I've been given wings, too,
by none other than her.
♪
Wings, huh?
The "Wings of Nolyn."
How about that?
The Wings of Nolyn?
-You mean for our party name?
-[TAKUMI] Yeah.
Makes sense.
In some way, all of us
have given each other wings.
That's why we can move forward.
The Wings of Nolyn.
I like it.
It sounds cool!
Well, I'm all for it!
Yep, no objections here!
Then it's settled!
Our party name will be
[ALL]
The Wings of Nolyn!
[TAKUMI] Two days later,
after safely completing
our escort quest to Kilbus,
we returned to Bolton.
[insects chirping]
[door creaks open]
[gasps]
Paralysis poison?
It's filling up the mansion!
[HOODED MAN]
Don't move.
[groaning]
[Reyva groans softly]
Get out of here, Master.
♪
Uh?
[groans]
[man groans]
Why, you!
[grunts]
[groans]
Hmm.
Hey, good going.
Thanks for the save, Maple.
Cure.
♪
[groans softly]
Huh,
it's gone,
I can feel my hand now.
Master,
please forgive my failure,
I've let you down.
It wasn't your fault, Sofia.
We were all paralyzed
but why didn't
it work on you, Master?
[TAKUMI]
It's because of our skills.
Maple and I have resistance
to Poison and Paralysis.
I did feel a bit numb, though.
[MAPLE]
Master,
what do we do
with those outside?
I was out leading
Camellia to the stable
and I found them.
I figured these things
could be inside too,
so I entered
the pocket dimension
and saw you being attacked.
Master, the assailants
were well-armed.
It looks like
this was a planned attack.
It's for the best if we go
to the Adventurer's Guild
for assistance.
You're right.
Sofia,
sorry,
could you go to the guild?
We need Barack
to come see this.
[insects chirping]
[horse neighs]
Takumi,
I really think
this is something
you'd better report
to the lord at once.
Do you think
this is trouble for us?
Yeah,
to be honest,
it's the worst kind there is.

Well, we're grateful.
[HANS]
Oh, by the way, Takumi,
would you name
your party already?
I've waited a while now.
Name my party?
Everyone except Reyva
is rank D.
[HANS] To be frank,
you'll be thrilled to know
your party's one of
the top-class parties
at this guild.
And you can't remain
nameless forever.
So, when you say
our party name,
do you mean something like
the Lion's Fang?
-[HANS] Yep.
-[chuckles softly]
Well, I didn't think about it
because I'm not
really setting out
to be an adventurer.
Besides, we're nothing
like the Lion's Fang.
We don't have
clear role divisions
and we don't have
a front-liner,
plain and simple.
It might be different
if I could fight
a little further to the front.
[BARACK]
You can leave that to me!
Oh?
Oh, Barack?
He's gigantic!
The body is our biggest asset!
If you have a strong body,
then you can survive anything!
But didn't you hear
what I said?
I'm not planning on
being an adventurer, so--
I'll train you!
Whoo!
[thuds]
-[groans]
-Back on your feet!
[groans]
Hans told you
to pick a name, right?
One fitting for your party.
[groans]
Um, Master?
Do you need my help?
[TAKUMI]
Honestly, not very much.
But I did think of something.
What are you waiting for,
spit it out already!
I was thinking
the "Adventurers."
What the hell?
Rejected!
[groans]
Tell me what symbolizes
the Iruma Takumi
who was born into this world?
I want to hear it!
In your party's name!
Uh,
Team Toilet?
[BARACK]
Are you takin' this seriously?
It needs to be
something catchy,
like when you hear
the Lion's Fang!
[TAKUMI]
The Toilet Lid!
[BARACK] Get your mind
out of that toilet!
Who knew
the alchemist's path could be,
oh, so terribly thorny?
[Takumi groans]
[MARIA]
A name for our party?
Yeah, I don't suppose
you two have anything, huh?
He throws me around
like a ragdoll
every time he rejects a name.
I'm so sore.
[groans]
"Mr. Takumi and His Servants."
How's that?
That's just
a simple description,
so I'll probably
get thrown around for that.
I know.
So, what about "An adventurer
Mastering Alchemy,
his super awesome
elf bodyguard,
his nice maid
who cleans and fights,
his really powerful pets
and his Alchemist-in-Training?"
Still a description,
just a lot longer
and more detailed.
[TAKUMI]
Barack told me to come up with
something that represents
who we are on a deeper level.
"Master of Toilets,
refrigerators, and underwear?"
Oh, yeah, I'd get thrown
a few times for that one.
[gasps]
No, why did I give you a name
that would result in
you being thrown repeatedly.
I'm nothing but ah
walking toilet
adorned with a sign saying,
"I'll handle the housework!"
No, even lower than that!
-[whimpering]
-Hey, it's okay, Maria.
That said, Barack did
specifically tell me
to steer clear
of toilets name-wise.
Coming up with a party name
is really hard, isn't it?
Sofia, any idea
That swine!
Leaving my Master
so bruised and ragged!
He'll pay dearly, I promise!
Huh, Sofia?
I'll return shortly.
I'm off to take his head.
[TAKUMI]
Wait, hold on, Sofia,
you don't need to do that!
-He's just training me,
that's all! -Master!
Yeah,
I did take a beating today.
Trust me, I know
but thanks to him
I managed to level up
a lot of skills today,
so it's fine, okay?
Uh.
Uh.
[TAKUMI]
Looks like I'm going to suffer
until we decide on a name,
great.

He charges in

That won't work in real combat.
You're saying your style would?
Well, I am a hero, remember?
Yamato and I are heroes too,

[AKIRA]
Never mind that,
why don't we ditch this
and go somewhere togeth--
-No, thanks.
-[AKIRA] And why not?
Don't tell me you're worried
about your slave attendant
over there.
Hey, now,
you're acting how you were
before we were summoned.
[AKANE] And you're
acting like more of a jerk.
[men grunting]
Tch!
♪
[AKANE]
Anat created mankind
and then created the beastmen
and elves to serve them.
The Church of Divine Light,
it preaches absolute
human supremacy but
That wouldn't make sense
based on what I heard
the other day
from those traveling merchants.
He said
the Church of Creation teaches
that "all races
are children of Nolyn."
This nation dominated
by the Church of Divine Light
summoned us.
We must have a role.
But what is it?
They tell us
we're here for world peace
but what are they trying
to make us do?
[TAKUMI]
Here.
Are you giving these to me,
Master?
You said you could use a staff.
So, I fabricated one
from an elder treant
and the ring's
for activating spells.
The metal wrapped around it
is a mythril alloy.
The next time we go adventuring
you'll be well-equipped.
I can't thank you enough!
So lucky.
Why don't I get
to have weapons?
Well, I made these for you.
Oh.
A weapon just for me?
I figured you would need one
and these won't get in the way
when you're manipulating
your threads.
Reyva helped me
make it for you.
Thanks, Master.
Reyva, thank you both!
What about "Cat's Claw?"
[choking]
Stop trying to rip off
"Lion's Fang!"
Oh, I got it!
How about
"Master
and his devoted servants
unite to crush the enormous man
who has no hair!"
-Ow!
-Rejected!
[TAKUMI] This is bad.
At this rate,
Sofia might snap
and take him down.
You're constantly
leaving yourself open.
Huh?
Tighten your defense!
You need to react faster!
The guildmaster's attacks,
they're aimed precisely
at each of your weak spots!
[TAKUMI] She's gone
full instructor on me.
[HANS]
Takumi,
wanna take on an escort quest?
Hey, that's not a bad idea.
You can use that
to build your rank up.
I guess.
So, how many days
are we talking here?
Well, if we factor in
that neat carriage of yours,
a trip to the town
of Kilbus and back
would only take four days.
Oh, and the request
came from Papek's company.
That's weird,
don't the Lion's Fang
usually take on
the escort quests?
Yep, you're right.
Unfortunately, they're all out
on a different quest
at the moment.
And we're the backup?
Those sound like
some awfully large shoes
to fill if you ask me.
-Hm.
-Hm.
-Hm.
-Oh!
Guess we'll do it,
thanks, Hans.
Sounds good and try
to have your party name
by the time you return.
-Yahoo!
-Yeah,
try and stop us, monsters!
I'm ready for you now!
[horse galloping]
[carriage rumbling]
I'm very pleased
to have you all here,
thank you for escorting me.
It's my pleasure.
It'd be nice if there weren't
any monster attacks though.
In addition
to the purification devices,
we've packed up
many daily necessities.
Also, the president
of our company
asked me to purchase milk
while I'm there.
Huh, wait,
they have milk in Kilbus?
Yes, sadly, it doesn't reach
the city of Bolton very often
and they have another
dairy product as well.
What was it?
Oh, yes,
I believe it was cheese.
Whoa, cheese?
[TAKUMI] They have
milk and cheese there!

Ah!

It's cream stew!
Never seen a white soup,
I'm intrigued!
It does have a nice smell,
though!
All right, let's dig in!
[chomps]
[all munching]
-[REYVA] It's tasty, right?
-[SOFIA] It's tasty!
[TAKUMI]
Wow!
There are plenty of points
to improve on
but it's a nostalgic taste.
Uh.
Um, Master?
Let's buy milk and cheese
before we go back home.
Then we can go tonight.
I hear the market's open.
All right.
[chomps]
[MAPLE]
Cheese is so good!
[MARIA]
It's my first time eating it
and I'm really surprised!
I would give anything
for my little brother
and mother to have some.
[TAKUMI]
It's only been a few months
since I came to this world.
And yet,
it feels like I've been here
for many years.
I like it here
but I'll never
get back to my old life.
Never again.
This is my home now.
Eh, what am I saying?
It's not that bad.
I'm probably
having these thoughts
because of the milk and cheese.
Oh, yeah, and rice.
Hey, Sofia, what about rice?
They eat grain
in the Kingdom of Samandor.
Are you referring to that?
They have rice?
Awesome!
[SOFIA] It isn't on the market
in Barcula though.
[MARIA]
I think they were selling it
in the royal capital.
Seriously?!
If I'd known that I would have
peeked in
at the market already!
Do you want to
eat rice that badly, Master?
I mean, kinda.
I heard rumors.
So, I wanted to try it,
that's all.
[shudders]
Are you okay?
Or did something happen?
-No, it's just
-[crickets chirping]
I mean, it's been over a decade
since you left your home,
right?
Oh, yes.
Do you miss it?
The place you come from
and the food
you grew up eating?
Do you ever think about
going back home?
I don't reminisce
over my hometown
because I like where I am now.
I lived under that curse
for nearly 50 years
like a caged bird.
I'd given up hope.
But forming
a contract with you,
it allowed me
to live a new life.
Master, I don't think about
going back home because
I think of what adventures
await me here,
beside you, all of you.
It's because of you
I'm free from that cage.
I can spread my wings again.
Your wings?
Time stopped for me back then.
Now, I can fly once more.
I'm looking forward
to what life has for me
in the future,
as it should be.
There's no need to look back.
The past is the past.
[MARIA] Yes, I agree.
I'm happy now.
I look forward
to what each day brings
and the next one, too.
I feel the same way!
Me, too!
-[snorting]
-So does Camellia!
I see.
I guess I've started
living a new life as well.
In a weird way, you could say,
I've been given wings, too,
by none other than her.
♪
Wings, huh?
The "Wings of Nolyn."
How about that?
The Wings of Nolyn?
-You mean for our party name?
-[TAKUMI] Yeah.
Makes sense.
In some way, all of us
have given each other wings.
That's why we can move forward.
The Wings of Nolyn.
I like it.
It sounds cool!
Well, I'm all for it!
Yep, no objections here!
Then it's settled!
Our party name will be

It wasn't your fault, Sofia.
We were all paralyzed
but why didn't
it work on you, Master?
[TAKUMI]
It's because of our skills.
Maple and I have resistance
to Poison and Paralysis.
I did feel a bit numb, though.
[MAPLE]
Master,
what do we do
with those outside?
I was out leading
Camellia to the stable
and I found them.
I figured these things
could be inside too,
so I entered
the pocket dimension
and saw you being attacked.
Master, the assailants
were well-armed.
It looks like
this was a planned attack.
It's for the best if we go
to the Adventurer's Guild
for assistance.
You're right.
Sofia,
sorry,
could you go to the guild?
We need Barack
to come see this.
[insects chirping]
[horse neighs]
Takumi,
I really think
this is something

Do you think
this is trouble for us?
Yeah,
to be honest,
it's the worst kind there is.
