Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time (2025) s01e12 Episode Script

[RIELL]
Oh, about time you made it.
Wait, what are you guys
doing here?
It's good to see you again.
[TAKUMI] Hey, Barack.
What's going on in Wedgefort?
A horde of monsters are
stampeding toward it.
Are you serious?
Some say that the recent
appearance of the refugees
is what's luring them there.
They've requested our
assistance with this matter.
Given what we're up against,
we need adventurers rank B
and higher,
despite the poor timing.
[TAKUMI]
What do you mean poor timing?
The other parties
are out and about,
occupied with other quests.
You mean, we're the only
parties that can help?
Yeah, luckily,
the three parties
we have are enough.
You can do the work
of a hundred parties!
Uh.
Wait, did I hear you right?
You said three?
So does that mean,
are they here, as well?
Yep!
One, Lion's Fang.
Two, The Wings of Nolyn,
and three
[MERILDA]
The Crimson Rose.
Uh.
Greetings, I'm Merilda.
The leader of the Crimson Rose.
-Our tank, Baralai.
-Hmm.
Mary, our mage.
-[Paula chuckles softly]
-And we have Paula,
our healer,
and Linda, our scout.
We've heard plentiful rumors
about the Wings of Nolyn.
You must be Sofia.
Man, why did it have to be you?
It's been a while.
I also heard
you two were still active
as the Lion's Fang party.
What do you mean two?
There's three of us
in Lion's Fang!
Oh, right,
you're still alive, Riell?
Huh.
Come on.
This is exactly
why I can't stand you guys.
Dorn will be leading a squad
of knights there shortly.
Takumi, go with Lion's Fang
and Crimson Rose
and get there
before the knights do.
Understood.
EPISODE 12:
WHEN BONDS ARE TESTED
[TAKUMI]
Once I returned,
we headed for
Wedgefort immediately.
Akane and Lulu stayed
behind at the mansion.
I left Titan in charge
of their safety.
♪
I named it Amaterasu.
It's a holy sword.
I synthesized it
from orichalcum.
The ore we took
from the dungeon.
Orichalcum.
[TAKUMI]
I'd like you to use it, Sofia.
Huh?
This sword,
is like kin to that one.
A Sublime Sword
I decided to call Tsukuyomi.
Where Amaterasu delivers
physical damage,
Tsukuyomi inflicts
mental anguish
with the slightest scratch.
If we can chain attacks
with these two swords,
we can deal
some serious damage.
Chain attacks?
Yeah, like a team,
as in we attack
our foe together.
Uh.
[TAKUMI]
Can I count on you?
[chuckles softly]
Without question, Master.
We're close. We should be
seeing Wedgefort soon.
Good to hear,
it's getting late.
All right,
now to see
what we're walking into.
Not many monsters
can get over the ramparts.
They were built pretty high.
I'm sure they'll be just fine.
[gasps]
-Master, up ahead!
-Uh.
[gasps]
[chirping]
[growling]
Those monsters have wings?
They'll easily pass
over the ramparts!
[RIELL] Then why are we
just standing here, let's go!

Inside, at least.
Yes.
Huh?
[MALE VILLAGER 1]
It's Sofia!
[MALE VILLAGER 2]
They're all here!
-And Maria!
-Hey, Reyva!
-[MALE VILLAGER 3] Mani!
-Listen,
you did well
protecting the village!
[MALE VILLAGER 4] We knew
you would come and save us!
-Yeah, thank you, Mani!
-Reyva, Mani,
can you two treat the injured?
And, Sofia, Maria,
come with me,
let's go check on the others.
[monsters growling]
[TAKUMI]
Hey, sorry we're late!
Look there.
Uh.
[roaring]
But where are they going?
They're all retreating
into the woods?
And all together, too.
Together?
That's weird.
I mean, it's almost like
the monsters are
coordinating as a unit.
That sounds hard to believe.
Can monsters do that?
[KNIGHT]
Not really sure,
but when we're ready for them,
they pull back
and when we're resting,
they attack us
from out of nowhere,
it just keeps happening.
It sounds strategic.
Perhaps the monsters
have a leader.
A monster is leading
other monsters?
That's something
I've never heard of before.
Hey, what if they're evolving?
Think about it.
The heroes came here
several months ago.
Back when we felt
a large fluctuation of mana.
I mean, that mana surge
summoned them here.
But maybe it caused
the monsters to evolve too.
You're saying
it was large enough
to cause monsters to mutate?
[TAKUMI]
The summoning spell.
It was so powerful,
Lady Nolyn forbade it.
So, I wouldn't be surprised
if it affected the monsters.
This is not an ordinary gig.
Exterminating them
is gonna be a challenge.
Hm.
HOLY
EMPIRE OF SIDONIA
[WALBARR] A horde of monsters
is attacking the fortress?
The one near
the Kingdom of Barcula?
[MUSUDAN] Yes.
The report says
the monsters' number is enough
to wipe out a nation.
[sighs] And if they were
to destroy the fortress
and invade
the lands of Barcula?
I suppose the damage would
tip the balance of power
among nations.
Seems to me the monsters
deserve our support, huh?
[MUSUDAN]
Indeed.
This is a rare opportunity,
so ready the troops to deploy
at a moment's notice.
Father, the nations
allied with Barcula
are vulnerable now.
Why not take advantage
and focus on them?
The Kingdom of Samandor?
If we want to render them
incapable of lending
Barcula aid
then we must strike first.
Right, but how?
The heroes.
Why not use them?
[groaning]
[SOFIA] There are more injured
than I anticipated.
[REYVA]
Here's your meal, Sofia.
Oh, thank you.
-Hm.
-Hm?
-Something wrong?
-Well, it's Master.
I'm a bit worried about him.
He's given every potion we have
to the injured villagers.
Do we have any in storage?
We just delivered
the last of them
to fulfill
the Papek Company's order
and there isn't any time
to start on another batch.
Hm.
[indistinct chatter]
I know, but what's the point
in having them
if we can't use them?
We'll make more.
Seriously? At least
keep a few for yourself.
Monsters will be attacking
any minute now.
If I can avoid any injuries
and conserve my stamina,
then I should be just fine.
You're so reckless.
Uh.
[SOFIA] He's prioritizing
the wounded over himself.
What did I expect,
this is the man he is.
Which is why I swore my loyalty
to him in the first place.
I will protect my master's life
even at the cost of my own.
I'd like you to go
gather up all of the children
and get them someplace safe.
They need your help badly.
You can handle it, right?
-Of course, we can!
-Just leave it to us.
-[MAPLE] Master
-Uh?
I sense the forest
is stirring again!
[HEATH]
Takumi, what's the plan?
[TAKUMI] I don't know if you
can call it a plan, but
first we'll rain down magic,
then I'll have
Camellia charge in.
After that, I'm gonna
take out as many as I can.
Sounds like a solid plan to me.
It's best
if each of our parties
work together on this.

There's a lot more than before!
Looks like they're launching

Sofia,
what were you thinking?

I wanted to keep you safe
from that enormous monster.
Sofia, don't you realize
I could've lost you out there?
If Maria and the others had
arrived a moment later,
you would've died!
My life isn't worth much.
No, you're wrong.
It's worth everything.

What's wrong?
It's nothing.
What happened?
They've turned tail and fled.
We dealt with
all the stragglers.
Good job
guys.
Master, what's wrong?
No, Master!

We rebuilt the village.
Took us several days
but luckily we had help.
Then, we returned to Bolton.

Man, I feel so much better.
Not me,
I still haven't had enough yet.
Even without Akane,
we're managing just fine!

and I are the heroes!

All right,
feel free to dig in, guys.

we made plenty more.

Hey, Maria.
Hm?

-Huh?

or does she look a little off?
She's been like that
since we came back.
Something must be
bothering her.

Hm?
Uh, yeah?
I want to know, Master.
Do you have
even the slightest clue
why we decided
to throw a party?
Uh.

-Do you?
-Do you?
Hmm.

I can't believe I took such

Thank you, Master.

So, about earlier, I'm
Please, don't.
I should be apologizing.

Sofia,
you wanted to protect me.
That's why you did it,
I know.
You should know
even if I must die,
I will keep you safe.
Well, I'm grateful
for that sentiment, but
I don't want you to die for me.
We're in this together,
so we should rely on support
and continue
to believe in each other.
You see,
that's the kind of partners
I want us to be.
[gasps softly]
So, please,
stay by my side forever.
Because that's what I want.
You mean it,
Master?
Only if you're okay with it,
of course.
I am
and I will.

It's done.
Who wants some?
Ah. Oh, Akane,
they were in the middle of
She absolutely destroyed
the mood, didn't she?
Yep, her timing couldn't
have been more horrible.
Would you please
forgive my master?
[TAKUMI]
Several days later,
I took Akane and Lulu
to visit the lord
and asked
if I could harbor them.
I said they could continue
to remain in my mansion
if they wanted.
The lord seemed perfectly fine
with that idea.
So now, the two of them
will be staying with us.
The lord also told me
about the massacre of a village
in the Kingdom of Samandor,
He said
the ones behind it
were the two heroes
I met in the guild.
Hmm.
Hey, are you okay?
It's my fault.
If only I'd been around
to stop them.
Those people
would still be alive.
No, you're not to blame.
[AKANE]
I know
someday we will cross paths,
and I'll have to face
both of them.
But
Next time
I won't run away!
[TAKUMI]
Sidonia.
That's the real problem.
An innocent girl is forced
to shoulder a heavy fate
for the sake
of its selfish ambitions.
It's been a while.
Lady Nolyn,
you sent me an entire year
before the heroes
were summoned.
There must be a reason.
Throughout all of it,
first Sidonia,
then those so-called heroes.
I couldn't help suspecting
you must have
some kind of plan.
It's as I said,
Takumi my friend,
it's up to you.
[chuckles softly]
One more thing,
I'll do what it takes
to protect those
who are precious to me.
I mean,
I'm an alchemist after all.
I can create anything
I've ever wanted.
It's the greatest life
I've ever had!
And
I wouldn't trade it
for anything.
Hm.
Oh,
and I didn't forget
your offering this time.
Aw!
Good, I am satisfied.
[NOLYN]
Takumi,
I hope you know the fate
awaiting you
isn't an easy one.
The only hope
that Mildgard has
is you.
So grow stronger
then the future will change.
I'm counting on you,
Iruma Takumi.
One day
you could possibly be
the greatest alchemist
of all time.
