Original subtitles

This is Gimul, the mining town.

After three years in the forest, I was invited to leave with the Jamil ducal family.

This is the first town I've visited since arriving in this world, Seilfall.

Even though it's called a "mining town,"

the productivity of the mines has been falling for a few years.

One of the goals of Mr. Reinhart's trip here

is to assess which mines to keep working on, and which mines to close down.

Episode 3

First Time in Town, with the Slimes

I went to the church with Reinhart and the others.

I needed to go there to get issued an item called a status board.

The status board, as the name suggests, displays a person's stats.

It also functions as a form of ID.

Here for a status board? This way please, to the baptism room.

This is the status board.

Place it on that pedestal, and touch the crystal to complete the baptism.

I understand.

Ryoma!

Long time no see.

It's so great to see you again!

Gain, Kufo, Lulutia...

Did I die again?

What?!

I see, so I'm not dead. What a relief.

We just pulled your mind over to our side momentarily.

You'll be back where you were without a problem.

But why was I able to see you again? I thought...

When you make it to town, go to the church.

With the oracle skill, you can talk to us, though just for a short time.

Isn't that what you said? I never trained the oracle skill...

You led what can be considered a monastic life for three years,

and you prayed to us every day.

That's why we're able to give you the oracle skill, so that we can meet.

Yeah! It'll be brief, but we should be able to communicate with you from now on.

I see. I'm glad to see you again.

Likewise! Thanks for coming to the church, as promised.

That house in the forest was awesome!

Especially the toilet.

I don't think this world has ever seen a toilet so clean and odorless.

Well, that was thanks to the slimes...

Actually, no. The cleaner and scavenger slimes

are new species, invented by you.

What?!

No wonder Reinhart and the others never heard of them...

Slimes were originally created by me.

Really?

But all I did was give them the ability to adapt to the environment and reproduce.

Their evolutionary possibilities were infinite.

But after a few species emerged,

the types of slimes suitable to a specific environment got locked in,

making it difficult for a brand new species to emerge.

You were the one that unlocked the potential of the slimes

that even I, their creator, forgot about!

I see... It was surprising to get showered with praise from the ducal family,

but praise from a god is a whole other level...

Actually, even gods have strengths and weaknesses.

But who would have thought you'd meet with that ducal family?

"That" ducal family?

Well... One of the previous transferred people from Earth

got married to an ancestor of the Jamil family.

Yes, I remember fondly. She was a person we sent in as well.

Yeah, she was really a nice girl.

Her dream was to become an animal trainer,

and her wish when she transferred was to gain a skill that tames animals.

Tames animals? So is that person...

Exactly! She is the one that researched and created the taming school of magic.

She then achieved great things and was given the title of a noble.

Then the Jamil ancestor fell in love with her, and they married.

And from then on, we've been individually giving our blessings to the Jamil family,

as a family of tamers. Also...

Eliaria seems to have inherited the blood of her ancestor very strongly.

Strong blood...? So the lady has tamer talents?

I'm going to become a tamer. I can't rely on others.

It's good to hear that. She works so hard.

Actually, it's her mother's side that she inherits strongly from.

Mother's side? There's another Earth transferee on that side of the family, too?

We always bring at least one person over whenever we take magic from Earth.

Would I ever meet one?

There's usually at least 200 years of local time separation between transfers.

Having multiple transferees in one era would be close to impossible, I think.

This transferee on the mother's side was a stereotypical otaku.

Otaku?

He wished for strong magical powers, and used them to become unstoppable in combat.

The power and rate of fire of his attacks were astounding.

Thankfully, he was too timid to go out of his way to do bad deeds.

We were the ones that gave him those powers,

but we were really worried until the day he died.

How troublesome was that transferee...?

Compared to him, you're quite a bit calmer.

I-I see.

You make your own decisions calmly and follow the right rules,

but you're willing to try different things within those boundaries.

Seilfall couldn't wish for a better transferee!

Why are you talking me up all of a sudden?

Well, I am a god after all. I should do things like praising my followers.

Thanks.

No, thank you. You give us endless entertainment.

It's time.

Already?

We're always watching over you.

Oh, by the way, the other gods have noticed you, too.

Other gods? Who are they?

The god of war and the god of magic took note of you.

They generally dislike transferees, so it's rather rare.

Huh...

And the god of crafts and artisans gave you his blessing.

Um, okay.

So this is goodbye. It's been so long since the last time...

If you visit the church again, we should be able to meet like this.

Okay. In that case, see you soon.

Yes, see you!

You really are remarkable.

We will watch over you, looking forward to the next meeting!

Please check your status board now.

Oh, yes...

It's customary to hide what's written on your status board,

except for your name, age, and race.

It's private information, after all.

I understand.

I will leave you now.

Everyday skills... Combat skills...

Magic, crafting, special...

Hmm, a title?

Title "Overcame an Unhappy Life," "Beloved Child of the Gods"...?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Welcome back, Mr. Ryoma.

I'm glad it went without issue.

Ryoma, I'd like to take this opportunity to give you some advice, as an elder.

Yes?

Your abilities are extremely high compared to other children of your age.

We can expect many unscrupulous individuals to approach you

to use you for their own ends.

Right.

One way to avoid this is to hide your strengths,

but given how prominent yours are, that would be difficult to pull off.

Instead, my suggestion would be to register early at a guild,

and raise your rank to increase your standing.

My standing?

Your abilities are so much higher than what's normal for your age,

it's obvious that you have the blessings of the gods.

Depending on the blessing, people will seriously come after you, so watch out.

I see... That's common sense in this world.

I should control myself, and refrain from using too much magic in front of people.

I understand. I'll be careful.

What's wrong?

Huh?!

Well, it seemed like you wanted to ask me something.

Um... I was wondering what your total magic capacity was.

My magic capacity? I think it was 198,000.

You have so much capacity, but you're able to use so much magic...

Well, the higher the capacity, the more magic I can use, right?

Huh? No, I mean, you can use the magic properly.

Properly?

Yes...?

Perhaps Mr. Ryoma is not aware of the side effects of having a high capacity.

Huh...?

There are side effects?

Yes. Generally, people with extremely high magic capacities

have a hard time controlling their powers and learning new magic.

Most of the time, these people need to train to limit or control their magic.

I see.

Another common sense thing.

I didn't realize since I had no one to compare with until now.

It's actually quite impressive how you're able to use magic so easily.

I am the same age as you, and I can't use magic very well.

You, too?

To be honest, my magic capacity is around 200,000.

200,000!

That's more than me!

It must come from that rampaging mage ancestor.

I think I understand now.

Mr. Ryoma, how did you become so great at magic?

Well... If you spend your free time playing with magic,

you should be able to teach yourself.

"Play" with magic?

You should try various things with some basic magics.

I see. "Playing" with magic-- I've never thought of that.

It might be worth a try!

Elia should have plenty of magic left over for training,

even if you spend some of it playing.

I can teach you any time.

Okay!

It's a promise! Please do teach me!

It really shouldn't be such a big deal,

but it feels really good to be appreciated.

Wobble, wobble. Wobble, wobble, wobble!

This can support one hundred people easily!

After leaving the church, we headed for the Tamer's Guild.

The Tamer's Guild is the guild for tamers and summoners who control monsters.

Its main task is to provide job offers and information to its members.

At the Tamer's Guild, Lady Eliaria and I registered as tamers.

But...

Hmm... Who would have thought it would be so tough to raise his rank...

It truly was unexpected...

Apparently, the recent trend in the Tamer's Guild

is to determine how good a tamer is by the strength of the monsters they control.

I found out that, as a slime specialist, it is very tough for me to raise my rank.

If he can't raise his rank...

I know. Let's head to the Adventurer's Guild.

Adventurer's Guild?

You said you took down some bandits in the forest, did you not?

The Adventurer's Guild values survival skills and combat abilities.

It's a great fit for you, Ryoma.

Let's go right away!

Um, okay...

I heard my combat abilities need to be tested to register with the guild.

Should I go all out?

Yes, that would be wise.

Good luck, Mr. Ryoma!

Thanks.

Are you today's applicant?

Yes, my name is Ryoma Takebayashi.

Nice to meet you.

Let's begin. For starters...

Shoot those five targets. You get five arrows. Don't waste a single shot.

Yes.

I have to do well and live up to everyone's expectations...

Dead center, all of them. Impressive.

Maybe all the hunting I did in the forest helped...

Incredible!

That was incredible, right?!

Y-Yes...

I didn't know bows are shot so quickly!

N-No, my lady, that was Mr. Ryoma's exceptional skills on display.

Really?! So Mr. Ryoma is really incredible!

Yes... We all knew he was good, but...

It seems like we were still underestimating his true abilities.

Next is with moving targets.

Targets will come flying out of there.

Like clay target shooting, but with a bow, I guess.

This was designed a long time ago by an adventurer named Kengo,

who was famous for his unique magic weapon, called "Shotgun."

"Shotgun"...? Definitely a transferee. He brought a gun to a world of magic...?

Fifty targets, fifty arrows. Good luck.

His concentration is incredible...

Last one!

Four at once?!

What?!

Earth Needle.

Stop!

My bad! My bad! The test is over.

I'm sorry, I was startled and reacted without thinking.

It's me who's sorry. That knife throw is just a thing I do to warn archers,

as a little cautionary experience.

I see, it's completely dull. So that's how that test works.

Some have dodged the knife, but you're the first one who struck back.

I'm Worgan, the master of the Gimul branch of the Adventurer's Guild.

Nice to meet you.

The master runs the tests?

Huh?

I mean, come on.

I don't know why, but the duke brought his whole family to watch.

I can't just let someone else handle the test.

Fair point.

He passes the test with flying colors.

Congratulations, Mr. Ryoma!

M-My lady...

Now your registration at the Adventurer's Guild is complete.

Here's your guild card.

Thank you.

Rank G...

Given your skills, I could let you start at around rank E...

But I'm also worried that others would push back if I start you off too high.

Start at G and work your way up, and show everyone what you're capable of.

If you keep at it, I'm sure you'll go up in rank in no time.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Come on, don't be so super-polite with me. It's a waste of breath.

Since you've registered, why don't you take a look to see what jobs there are?

I will.

Generally speaking, you can only take on jobs that are at the same rank as you.

However, if you can gather a party to go with you,

or for jobs where the guild is recruiting adventurers,

there are cases where you can take on jobs at higher ranks than yours.

I understand.

The message board for rank G jobs is over there.

Thank you.

Cleaning the communal toilet...

House cleaning, with trash including food waste and timber...

If I have the scavenger slimes eat them, and the cleaner slimes clean...

Right! Let's try taking on this job!

And the next day...

Everyone, gather around!

This is our first job at the guild.

Have a nice day, Mr. Ryoma!

Thanks! You, too!

This must be the place. My very first job.

Hmm, are they not here?

Excuse me! I'm from the Adventurer's Guild, for the cleaning job!

Is it true?! Are you here to clean?!

A cat beastkin! I've never seen one before!

The stench of food waste is coming from inside...

M-My name is Ryoma Takebayashi, I've been sent from the Adventurer's Guild.

You're really here!

I almost gave up!

I'm Miya! Thank mew so much for coming!

I'm starting to worry if I can really finish this first job of mine...
