Original subtitles

Amazing! There're so many people and shops!

That's a dungeon market for you. It's kind of like a little festival.

The dungeon's reset, so you have adventurers coming for all the new chests.

Which means merchants show up for all the new adventurers.

That looks delicious.

Come on. We're shopping for clothes.

Well, maybe if you hadn't burned Rirui's...

Huh?

I was just trying to dry it off, okay?

And I'm not great with magic stones...

Over there!

Hey!

This kid...

This is incredible!

Rirui's instincts are right on this one!

Why, little lady, you've got a great eye!

What kind of egg is it?

No clue. I found it during my travels.

But I predict that it's an egg that brings good luck.

You predict it?

The egg of good luck...

Granted, whether it comes true or not is all up to the spirits, my friend.

The spirits, huh?

Let's go, Rirui.

Wait, Hajime!

This is a great find! We'll regret not buying it!

What? What are you yapping about?

Please! Have faith in Rirui's instincts as an adventurer!

Your adventurer's instincts? Seriously?

Please! Believe Rirui!

May the spirits bless you, my brother and sister!

Hajime!

Thank you so much!

So, how are we gonna eat it?

It's not for eating!

Ow, ow... Sorry about that.

Get back here, Anynango!

Aw, crap!

AN ADVENTURER'S DAILY GRIND AT AGE 29

EPISODE 3: RIRUI AND ANYANGO

You look adorable!

That suits you, Rirui.

I'm surprised a certain someone picked out something so nice.

It was actually on Natalie's advice.

That explains it, then.

Here you go.

Thanks.

We're hitting up the new dungeon, right? Better get a move on.

H-Hajime...

Rirui's egg!

Look what's become of you...!

This is Rirui's fault for leaving you in Hajime's care!

Forgive me, please!

Don't be stupid.

Here.

That was a close one!

Hajime, let's hurry!

If we don't get to the dungeon soon, we'll miss out on all the treasure!

And you wanna go dressed like that?

I'll go get changed.

Unbelievable.

Custom dictates that locals let out-of-towners have any treasure.

But in exchange, we get better gigs.

But the kid's still struggling against slimes,

so I don't see any treasure in our future.

Blast! This one is fierce!

But now you're doomed!

That's that dwarf kid from before...

Wait, what's a kid doing here alone?!

Damn it, where have I seen this before?!

Ugh, this is such a pain!

You little cretin!

Ever so sorry for the trouble my granddaughter caused you, sonny.

I'm Hajime Shinonome. I'm a local adventurer.

Oh, I've heard about you!

The sweetheart adventurer who adopted a little one.

S-Sweet what now?

And you saved my granddaughter!

Looks like the rumors are true.

I'm actually really cool, and just so you know,

"sweet" isn't really a compliment when it comes to adventurers.

Is Hajime nice to you, dearie?

Like you wouldn't believe!

Could you pay attention?!

What happened...?

Listen here. You're a girl, so instead of this dungeon nonsense,

you should be more demure.

Not happening!

Anyango!

Honestly.

Maybe I've been too soft on her, what with her parents gone and all.

Her mom and dad are gone?

A monster got them a long time ago.

Gracious. I wonder if she's headed right back to the dungeon at this rate.

I wish there was some adult I could trust her with...

Nah, not happening.

It's not about the money!

Go on! Hold the bastard tight!

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?!

How about you hammer the bastard then, you skinny fool?!

Good!

Aren't they amazing?

What's that big fiery thing?

A fire spirit.

A spirit?

That's right.

Dwarven craftsmen aren't considered the real deal until they can contain one!

I wanna get strong soon so I can stand in the forge myself!

You can't just wait until you're grown up?

My grandma's gonna die.

She's already real old, so I've got no time to waste.

I want her to see she doesn't have to worry about me real soon.

Doesn't have to worry about you...

If you're going to join my team, stop crying!

Maybe Rirui and Anya are the same.

You and me?

Rirui's going to ask Hajime if he'll help!

Seriously?!

Thanks for that, my soul friend!

Hey, Rirui. Where have you been?

Um, Hajime, can Anya come with...

Yeah, your name was Anyango, right?

I don't mind you tagging along every once in a while,

so no more running into the dungeon on your own, you hear?

Yes!

This is great, Anya!

Yeah!

Thanks so much!

The downside of being local...

I did it!

You did it, Anya!

My soul friend!

Friends, huh?

Never really found a use for that kind of flimsy relationship,

but maybe the little squirt needs it.

Did Hajime teach you how to fight like this, Rirui?

He did indeed!

You can really count on him, huh?

Is something wrong?

What? No, nothing!

Anya, let's go after another one!

All right!

Sorry!

They've got a train after them?! Seriously?!

Our bad!

Rirui, Anyango! Up against the wall! Now!

This way!

Ow, ow, ow...

A-Anya?

Guess that's that.

You okay?

Y-Yes.

I-Is it cold all of a sudden?!

I-I-I-I-Is Veronica around?

This is the chill I get when she's up to something!

You okay, Anya?

Y-Yeah, I appreciate it, best buddy!

Rirui and Anya are friends.

And friends...

don't steal from friends.

Veronica! Where are you?! Quit hiding!

AN ADVENTURER'S DAILY GRIND AT AGE 29

Somebody help!

Damn it! If only I were stronger!

What are you doing to my friends?!

Rirui!

Take this!

You saved us, Rirui!

That's my best friend!

Hajime, Hajime!

Hajime, Rirui could use magic!

I saved you and Anya with magic! It went boom!

When? Last I saw you, you were sleeping in a heap.

There's bound to be amazing power sleeping inside Rirui!

In your dreams, anyway.

Hajime! How do you use magic?

If I could cast magic, I bet I could be even more useful!

That wouldn't be the accomplishment you're imagining.

Besides, magic isn't really my thing.

Since she's taken an interest in spirit channeling,

maybe you should find out what her type is.

Spirit channeling?

For her?

Yes!

Thanks for the food!

I mean, she can't be much worse with magic than she is with a sword.

Couldn't hurt to check it out.

What's Rirui's "spirit type"?

Remember when I burned your clothes the other day?

I used a tool to borrow the power of the fire spirits.

Fire spirits?

Like the ones I saw in the workshop with Anya!

Fire, water, earth, and wind...

They're usually invisible, but their spirits are all around us, apparently.

Rirui wants something that explodes!

Like boom!

I see.

Then you'd like Rirui to practice spirit channeling?

A wonderful idea.

Come right this way, if you will.

Who are you, granny?

An old lady from a church that shares the teachings of the sun.

Would you like to hear a story about the sun from long ago?

I-I think I might have to pass on that one.

It's the kind of knowledge an adventurer should really be aware of.

Knowledge is power!

That kind of nitty-gritty tends to make my head hurt.

Salt...

Gold...

The one-eyed owl...

The sun of selection.

That's the Forest of Selection. Go on in.

Y-You're not coming, Hajime?

Nope.

You're the one getting tested.

I'll come save you if you get in trouble. So go have an adventure.

Off I go!

The first-time fee is five silver coins.

Kinda sketchy...

Huh, this isn't scary at all!

What was with them?!

Stare...

Stare...

Staaare...

Glare!

Wh-What was that thing? Had a scary look in its eyes!

I'll come save you if you get in trouble. So go have an adventure.

An adventure...

Rirui is an adventurer! This place is no problem at all!

Wow! That's such a big puddle!

Feels great!

Wha...

T-Talk about huge!

Y-You wanna fight?

Th-Then bring it on!

R-Rirui can take you down with one hit!

If you won't make the first move, then I will!

So don't blame me for what happens!

Say your prayers!

My deathblow: Rirui Sandstorm!

BUT THERE WAS NO EFFECT.

Rirui's adventure ends here...

No! Hajime needs my help!

Cold!

There's a weird mark now!

Huh?

Oh, welcome back.

Hey. That was fast.

Did you find anything?

There was a giant turtle with a mustache!

A giant mustachioed turtle?

I wonder if she means the Millenian?

That'd mean the spirits of water have taken a real shine to you, Rirui.

NEVER RAN INTO A PROPER SPIRIT, DESPITE MANY ATTEMPTS

Also, he drew on me!

Oh, you were given a blessing?

The emblem of water with two scales...

That's quite a major water blessing!

It's major?

It means, even without spirit language, some water spirits will help you.

You're very lucky.

Looks like Rirui got something awesome!

Sure seems like it.

Hajime! Let's try it out in the dungeon!

I'll invite Anya too!

What are you doing, Hajime?!

Off to the dungeon we go!

Yeah, yeah.

A SLIME APPEARED!

Now it's time for Rirui to show my amazing power!

Behold Rirui's magic!

Rirui?! You okay, Rirui?!

Hang on! I'll get you out of there!

It wasn't supposed to go like this!
