Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

Resolve

[GODWIN] We've learned
that the intruders
who infiltrated
Sir Takumi's home
were the Divine Light Squadron.
Divine Light Squadron?
They execute all who defy
the teachings of their church.
Even other fanatical groups
consider them to be extreme.
The Divine Light Church?
Then that must mean
The Holy Empire
of Sidonia sent them.
So, they weren't stealing,
which means
they only wanted one thing,
to take my head.
Correct.
The device you've created,
I'm certain that's the reason
behind the planned attack.
I see.
So, it's true.
Previously,
there was a need
to regularly use light magic
to purify the settling tanks
of the sewers beneath the city
and the priests
of the Divine Light Church
and Church of Creation
took turns doing so.
The Church of Creation
operates on donations
from its believers,
never charging a fee
for its services,
on the other hand,
the Church of Divine Light
demands a hefty sum
to dispatch their priests
from Sidonia.
I mean, what did you expect?
That purification
device of yours
is taking away
their main source of revenue.
Well, what if I leave?
There are other nations,
maybe I should lie low for now.
No,
the safest place
is here in Bolton.
Many people here believe
in the Church of Creation.
Surely our nation can offer you
our proactive support.
As a precaution, I'll increase
the knights' patrols
and closely observe
who enters the city.
Very good!
In that case,
all we need to worry about now
is keeping him safe
whenever he decides
to go adventuring.
Huh?!
Well, uh,
given the situation we're in,
I was thinking
I might take a little break
from adventurer work
for a while.
No, not an option!
Do you know what would happen
if one of the top five parties
in the whole town were to quit?
That would really
hurt the guild!
I mean,
my life is in danger here.
Master,
even at the cost of my own life
I promise to protect you.
[BARACK]
Besides, you're getting
top of the line
training from me!
And I'll teach ya
how to send them packing,
no matter how many times
they come at you!
So there, problem solved?
[shudders]
[cart rumbling]
[TAKUMI]
No doubt about it now
Sidonia's church is definitely
after me
and
as a result of that,
Sofia, Maria,
and Reyva's lives are
all in danger as well.

[HANS]
Oh,
the Wings of Nolyn, huh?
Putting the name of the Goddess
in your party name.
I gotta say,
that's pretty grandiose.
You think it's going too far?
[chuckles]
No, I like it.
Takumi, the rumors
of you being attacked,
they're spreading around.
Huh?
Uh.
[HANS]
I've also been hearing talk
about a large bounty
on your head,
so you need to be careful.
Listen,
some adventurers,
they're willing to go
behind the guild's back
and accept unscrupulous
quests to make money.
[crickets chirping]
[owl hooting]
[MARIA]
Really, Master?
So, you think
there's a strong chance
we'll be attacked again?
Yeah.
You're all in danger
because of me.
I'm really sorry about this.
You've nothing to be sorry for.
Yeah, please don't apologize,
Master.
We let our guard down
last night
but that won't happen
a second time.
Now, I'll be ready!
We're all in this together,
so I'll be ready too!
Maple, where are your manners,
I taught you better than that!
Sorry.
Even with Maple
and Camellia helping out
I feel bad
relying on the knights
to guard the mansion
and they can't
stay here forever.
[TAKUMI] I think I'll create
an improved device
to erect a magic barrier
over the mansion.
And anyone
who isn't registered with it,
well, they won't
be able to get in.
If you need help, Master,
I'm at your service.
Thank you.
But then what do we do
about the times
we're out handling our quests?
We should find a new recruit
an attacker or a tank, perhaps.
Yeah, that was exactly
what Barack and Hans suggested.
[ALL] But it has to be
a woman, non-negotiable.
If that's all right.
[TAKUMI]
I hear you,
though I think
it already goes without saying.
With that settled, we need to
focus on finding someone fast.
There are solo adventurers
but it's hard to ask one to
quickly forge a bond with us.
It wouldn't hurt to
try looking at Mulan's though.
Yeah, you're right.
Binding them by way
of contract magic
would be safest, huh?
It'll probably take some time
to establish the trust part.
[REYVA] I want to say that
I would trust you with my life,
even without our contract,
Master.
-[chair clatters]
-Yep, the same goes for me!
-What about you, Sofia?
-[REYVA] What about you, Sofia?
Well, my life isn't so cheap
that I would risk it
for someone I didn't trust.
Oh, Sofia, that was so cool.
[MARIA] Yeah, I really wish
I would've thought of that.

[snoring softly]

Hmm.
[curtain rustles]

[TAKUMI]
Okay, let's get started.
Right!
[SOFIA]
Hey, Master,
is there anything
I can do to help?
[TAKUMI]
Sofia?
[birds chirping]
I might not be
all that useful now,
but I am willing to learn.
Any magical knowledge
I can pick up
may be valuable in the future.
[birds chirping]
All right,
it would be great
to have your help.
You see this alchemy circle?
Could you etch this into
those metal sheets over there?
Of course, Master.
[scraping]
[SOFIA]
Hmm.

Uh, Master?
I'm guessing you didn't get
a whole lot of sleep
last night, did you?
Huh?
No, but I'm fine.
I was just up thinking about
countermeasures for the future.
[chuckles softly]
[MAPLE]
Camellia
-onward!
-[REYVA] Huh?
[crashes]
[MAPLE] That's it
don't lose to some golem!
That doll,
I'm guessing
that's the golem, huh?
[MAPLE] Good, don't let
your guard down!
You can't underestimate
the strength of a golem!
Remind me,
golems do fall within
the realm of alchemy,
don't they?
Yep.
[TAKUMI]
Though the circle engraved
into their control core's
pretty complex.
I haven't messed around
with anything like that yet.
When you think about it
Golems really would be
perfect attackers or tanks.
I guess so, but
My Mana Manipulation skill
level isn't high enough.
I need to get to a higher level
be able to control
the spell precisely.
[REYVA] Is it true
what they say about golems?
That the ones
created through alchemy
are only capable
of simple movements?
If it is,
then they wouldn't be useful
for guarding the mansion.
Hey, how about we finish up?

Very good.
We get these installed
and it won't be long
until the barrier appears.
SKILL SPELL
CONTROL ACQUIRED
SKILL MANA MANIPULATION
HAS LEVELED UP
Oh?
Master, what's wrong?
Well, once my Mana Manipulation
skill maxed out,
I apparently obtained
the new Spell Control skill.
[REYVA]
That's incredible!
I'm sure it's all thanks to you
completing this
barrier magical device!
And if I level up
my Spell Control, then
maybe I can attempt to
create a golem's control core.

HOLY
EMPIRE OF SIDONIA
[WALBARR] The Divine Light
Squadron was captured?
And why did they not
take their own lives?
[MUSUDAN]
We believe they weren't given
the opportunity to.
Was contract magic
used on them?
Perhaps.
It's likely already
been discovered
who conducted the assault.
Believers
of the Divine Light Church.
This has become troublesome.
But father,
at this point,
why don't we put off dealing
with the Kingdom of Barcula
and prioritize
our current plan.
The circle we discovered
in the ruins,
I'm afraid
we failed to analyze it.
However,
we believe it's possible
to activate the summoning
using the explanation
written in the ancient tomes.
Good.
So, tell me, Homer,
when can I expect this
to be carried out?
I'd say two months
or three, at the very longest,
while the requisite mana
is being gathered.

[Takumi sighs]
Master, is it too difficult?
I tried on a magic stone,
but it looks like
it won't be that easy.
What now? Unless we draw
the multi-layer magic circle
into the control core
the golem won't be
able to move at all.
-I know.
-[MAPLE] Master?
So, why do you want
a golem so badly?
I'd just feel better
having one guarding our home.
You have me and Camellia.
Not to mention Sofia,
Maria, and Reyva, too!
I do,
but we were there last time,
and we didn't have a clue
how they infiltrated our home.
[TAKUMI]
Well, looks like
I still need to raise
my Spell Control level.
[MAPLE] Master, do you think
you can tame a golem?
Huh?
[TAKUMI]
Oh, right.
Why didn't I think of that?
Maybe
there's a chance!
Let me see,
I think around
the Forest of Death,
there are occasionally
Stone Golems.
Now, if you're looking
for Iron Golems,
I've heard they appear
in the ancient dungeon
supposedly near Horas.
Wait, there are dungeons?
Uh, yes, of course.
You weren't aware of that,
Master?
Ah!
Well, it's just,
I haven't been
inside of one before.
Since we have the chance,
let's try facing an Iron Golem
in the dungeon!
But entering a dungeon
without a tank or attacker,
that'd be really reckless.
RECKLESS
Yeah, guess so.
[Takumi breathes shakily]
Mm.
[TAKUMI]
And so
we headed to the rocky plains
west of the Forest of Death
where we hunted Treants.
[thuds]
[stomping]
It's huge!
Over three meters tall.
I can't believe it.
What luck finding this golem.
It's probably a guardian-class
from the ruins.
There are two weak spots.
The magic stone in its chest
and the control core
at the center of it.
If we're going to kill it
we have to break
the control core.
No way.
I don't want it to die.
[rumbling]
-[both gasp]
-Those eyes!
Are they a weapon
or detection device?
This is more dangerous
than we thought.
We should pass on this golem.
[TAKUMI]
No, if it's dangerous,
that means this one is worth
having as our ally.
Master?
-[TAKUMI] Let's go!
-[Sofia gasps]
-[REYVA] Master, wait!
-[MARIA] Master, wait!
Fan out!
Let's cover him!
[panting]
[rumbling]
Hm.

[gasps]
Stand back.
[stomping]
Hold on!
Why?
Well, because
[golem stomping]
I can feel it.
It's faint
but there's a connection.
With you and the golem?
Be careful!
He's so incredibly brave.
[TAKUMI] Actually,
I'm so incredibly scared!
But I don't think I sense
any hostility from this golem.
I see.
This golem,
could it have been
protecting the ruins
related to the Goddess
Lady Nolyn?
In that case.
BLESSING: BLESSING
OF LADY NOLYN [CONCEALED]
[TAKUMI]
Is it reacting to her blessing?
GUARDIAN GOLEM TAMED
I think I just tamed it.
[ALL]
Huh?
Does that mean the golem
is on our side now?
Yeah, I think it is.
Let's name it!
Name it, huh?

Titan.
Why Titan?
There's this myth about a giant
who was named "Titan."
NAME: TITAN [TAKUMI
IRUMA'S PET]
RACE: GUARDIAN GOLEM
AGE: 23,122 YRS / LEVEL: 120
[rumbling]
Nice to meet you, Titan!
[talking gibberish]
I think it's trying
to communicate with us.
Looks like it's asking me to
give it a more versatile body.
All right, let's go.
Master,
we'd cause a commotion
entering the city.
Right, then.
My pocket dimension.
[steam hisses]
[all gasp]
It's body is crumbling!
[footsteps approaching]
[all gasp]
The giant's not
a giant anymore.
Oh, how cute!
Master, can you make it so
that Titan can talk to us?
I don't know,
but let's find out.
THE HOLY EMPIRE
OF SIDONIA
SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER
TAKUMI'S PRESENT TIME
[YAMATO] Come on, get up!
What's wrong?
[AKIRA]
Finished already, Captain?
[groaning]
[YAMATO]
You know what,
stay down,
you're all weak anyway.
Right, you don't deserve
to be called knights.
[people laughing]
[AKANE] Indulging yourselves
this early in the day?
Yeah, these girls want
to have some fun.
It's tough being a popular man.
Do either of you
have any shame at all?
[AKIRA] What's wrong, Akane?
Are you jealous?
Well, too bad,
it's a little late
for that now.
Got tired
of your cold attitude.
Hey, Akane,
just forget about him,
all right?
I'll welcome you anytime.
Scumbags.
[TAKUMI]
Titan's new body!
I can really go all-out
and do whatever I want!
Of course, I can't leave out
the ability to combine!
Here it is!
I'll synthesize it in no time.
[talking gibberish]
[TAKUMI]
But before I do that
I need to settle things first,
right?
[birds chirping]
[TAKUMI]
They're after my life
and if you stay with me,
you'll all be in danger too.
But we already told you.
So I'm going to dissolve
my contracts with each of you.
-[all gasp]
-[TAKUMI] Listen,
you should all
go your own ways.
I can't let anything
happen to you.
-It's for the best.
-Master,
when did you decide this?
[TAKUMI] I thought about it
after we first got attacked.
I could sense something
was weighing on your mind,
but
not this.
Master, you can't.
Trust me, it's best
for everyone if I do.
But if you do that,
then who's going to be here
to protect you?
[TAKUMI] Well,
I have Titan for that now.
[breathes shakily]
[SOFIA] So, that's why
you wanted to tame it.
Maple and Camellia
are my pets, of course,
so they'll both
remain here with me.
But I want you three
to go live peaceful lives
somewhere else.
But, Master
And of course,
you'll leave with your wages.
I'll give you everything
you've earned
so that you can
live comfortably.
As for you, Reyva,
I'll send your wages
with a little extra back home.
[whimpering] But that isn't
what I want, Master.
[TAKUMI]
Actually,
it might be more appropriate
to call it your severance pay.
I can't accept this.
[TAKUMI]
Well, uh, I kinda need you to.
Uh?
Maria?
[MARIA] You want to
dissolve our contracts?
[clanking]
I'm not letting that happen
without a fight!
Huh?
I really don't get it.
Why is it you always prioritize
everyone else's lives
and neglect your own?
Tell me, why?
[weeping]
You idiot!
Why would you want us
to leave you?
It's because
I refuse to put you
in any more danger.
Because
all of you are
very precious to me.
If that were true
then you would ask us
to stay with you
and fight by your side
instead of leaving you!
This is nothing more
than another obstacle
so let us
overcome this together!
Did you forget?
We've given each other
wings to fly.
Are we the "Wings of Nolyn,"
or aren't we?
[MARIA]
It was you!
You're the one
who named us that!
Our wings, if you lose them,
then you won't fly.
I know.
[thuds]
[MARIA]
Forgive me.
I'm sorry for saying
such rude things to you.
[weeping]
I'm just so,
so heartbroken.
[Maria crying]
[SOFIA]
I know you're concerned.
You're terrified that
something could happen to us.
That's the reason
you want us to leave.
And I understand that, I do.
But I need you
to understand something too.
The words you just
spoke out of concern,
they're possibly,
the cruelest thing you could've
ever said to any of us.
[weeping]
Thank you, Master.
I'll work hard
so that you'll keep me
for many long years.
I promise you will not
regret this decision,
not one bit.
I'm gonna work really,
really hard!
[SOFIA]
On this day,
I pledge myself
to my new Master, Iruma Takumi.
[TAKUMI]
Please,
forgive me,
I didn't understand
how you all truly felt.
I was acting based
on my feelings alone.
I'm so sorry.
I'm still somewhat immature.
I know I've got some
more growing to do but
do you think
you'd be willing
to stay with me?
[sniffles]
Yes,
of course, Master!
Without question,
since the very beginning,
I've guarded you
from every danger,
which is all the more reason
to keep me by your side.
Because my heart and body
belong to you, Master.
We live and die together.
My future is by your side
and nowhere else, Master.
I don't have
another place to go
and I don't want one.
I know I've only just started
learning from you
but I've made up my mind
I want to learn more.
I want to build
and create new things
but only with you!
Thank you.
Every one of you.
My Wings of Nolyn.
NAME:
TITAN [TAKUMI IRUMA'S PET]
RACE: GUARDIAN GOLEM
AGE: 23,122 YRS / LEVEL: 120
-Oh, wow! That's so bright!
-Oh, wow! That's so bright!
So, what do you think, Titan?
Do you like your new body?
[TITAN]
It's awesome, Master.
Oh, wow, Titan can talk now!
[TAKUMI] I used
adamantite alloys for its frame
and mythril alloys
for its armor,
making it a unique body!
I've also added a cool mace,
a shield,
and a few other things.
Oh, yeah, open the hangar!
I was wondering what that shed
was doing over there.
[thuds]
[gasps]
A giant Titan?
A hidden hangar!
All right, Titan!
Now get over there
and form Great Titan!
[TITAN]
Roger that, Master.

Alchemy in!
[TITAN]
Roger!
NAME: TITAN [TAKUMI
IRUMA'S PET]
RACE: GUARDIAN GOLEM AGE:
23,122 YRS / LEVEL: 120
[TAKUMI]
It's absolutely perfect!
You could even defeat
a dragon if you wanted to!
Should we take on
a dungeon now?
[TAKUMI]
It really worked.
I'm so happy!
You let your tastes
run wild there, huh?
[ANGEL]
Lady Nolyn,
there's something concerning.
We've started seeing
small traces
of Anat's existence.
That's funny,
she shouldn't exist at all.
[ANGEL] Could be the effect
of years of worship
from the Divine Light Church.
Also,
she's close
to being an evil spirit.
[NOLYN]
An evil spirit.
[ANGEL]
The Holy Empire of Sidonia,
considering that they were
behind the hero summoning,
we should expect to see a war
on the main continent.
I'm sure we will.
What do we do?
Nothing. Unfortunately,
I can't interfere directly.
[ANGEL]
So, your plan.
Oh, I get it now
That's why you created
that boy's body
and gave him
such an extravagant blessing?
That Iruma Takumi?
Indeed.
It's up to Takumi now.

Won't be long
the time is ripe.
