Original subtitles

Thank you very much, Narusena.

Not at all.

I can still…

Even if you can still hold on,

but your stomach can't.

Big brother, why are you laughing?

Although it's a bit early,

let's go have lunch.

Okay.

(The Healer who was Banished from his Party is in fact the Strongest)

(Episode 4: That Rescue is Actually A Farewell)

Is this really for two?

Well, when I was about to leave the hotel,

Ms. Meray…

Geez.

That little girl didn't even take much.

So you guys need to take responsibility and finish all this, okay?

So…

Then we must finish it.

Okay.

The Hydra is a fierce

and venomous monster.

Its body is covered with strong muscles.

Its scales are so hard,

which makes it easy to bounce back

from basic physical or magic attacks.

It's quite a tough opponent.

It's that strong?

I hope Armia would be fine.

The Hydra isn't seen everywhere,

but among high-level monsters,

it's kind of easy to be found.

Therefore,

several ways to deal with it have come up after many studies.

For example, its poison.

The Hydra's poison is fatal.

It could be life-threatening if left unattended.

But,

a special antidote has been developed

and is available for purchase in Marmot.

But Miss Lyra said they didn't buy it.

Because it is expensive.

So all they can do is to put their hopes in Lyra's detoxification magic.

Don't worry.

Lightning Sword is not that bad.

Don't be fooled by Margulus,

his swordsmanship is indeed very good.

As long as he gets in shape

and doesn't underestimate the opponent,

he is a quite formidable Saber.

Saberia has

top-notch speed and agility.

Although the Hydra has many heads, and its range of vision is also wide,

she still could sneak up behind it.

What's wrong?

You have a very high opinion of the Lightning Sword.

No, I'm just telling the truth.

Really?

Eh?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Big brother,

I'm getting a bit tired of

challenging the same labyrinth every day.

I see.

So, would you like to go somewhere else?

Sure.

Setting off from here,

the wetlands are pretty close by. Let's go there.

Go!

Just like that, chop off its head.

Hey, Sieg.

Why did you hold back?

You could have taken it down.

That

is your prey, right?

Are you really willing to let me take the credit?

What?

Hydra Slayer, Margulus.

Isn't that title quite cool?

You quite know it.

Geez.

I don't know why he has to attack from the front.

That's just how he is.

Don't you find that very charismatic?

Not at all.

Right.

It's okay now.

Feels like I've recovered well.

Thank you.

She is working hard as well.

So,

is Zieg taking a break?

What is he up to?

However,

after a series of attacks,

the Hydra's strength is much diminished

and its movements are starting to slow down.

As long as Saberia can successfully divert its attention,

I think Margulus's frontal attack

can cause considerable damage to it.

Looks like Armia's magic

is working.

As long as we can keep attacking this way,

we will surely take down the Hydra.

No!

What is that?

It's fear.

F-Fear?

The monsters

feed on humans' fear and turn it into their own strength.

But this kind of thing is usually invisible to the naked eye.

Hey, Sieg.

What is going on?

This is…

(Mana) Mana?

Isn't Mana the source of magic power?

Does it usually come out in places like this?

No.

Normally, Mana only comes out

in the deepest part of the labyrinth.

What's going on now?

It's the mutation.

(Magic power) By absorbing a lot of magic power,

monsters can change their bodies,

sometimes they can even improve their abilities by leaps and bounds.

I didn't expect

to see this scene in such a place.

Lyra, please take care of Armia.

I see.

Margulus.

It's better to retreat for now.

It took us a while to weaken his strength,

how could I possibly give up?

At least let me chop off its head.

Then, I am Margulus, Hydra Slayer.

What?

Margulus.

Raust?

Let's talk later.

You're the Healer, right?

Leave it to me.

Go check on Armia.

I see.

How is she?

Not good.

Please let me.

I hope Armia would be fine.

I'm not sure.

She is the Wizard.

Wizards are resistant to magic,

so healing magic doesn't usually work for them.

Heal.

Using heal to treat such severe wounds

is basically useless.

Heal…

Wait, what are you doing?

He's overlaying heal. What's so weird about that?

Overlaying?

How could that possibly work?

What?

What's so surprising about it?

That's how he usually heals us.

No way.

Even if one drinks a lot of potion bottles at once,

it doesn't cure a cold right away.

It's the same thing.

I've never had a cold, so I'm not sure.

Anyway,

I've never even heard of,

or seen

overlaying heal.

Who is that guy?

Mr. Raust.

Y-You are here.

Sorry, I came too late.

Not at all.

Thank you.

Armia.

Don't worry. She's just asleep.

I see.

It

seems to pick you to fight.

Does this Hydra

remember who I am?

Big brother, I will help too.

Even if I say no, you won't listen, right?

Yes!

Listen.

You must not push yourself.

If you feel any danger, then retreat immediately.

I promise.

You guys stay here and don't move.

I'm not going anywhere near the front even if you don't tell me so.

I am the Healer, after all.

I won't.

Sorry, I can't fight like this.

Right.

(The Healer who was Banished from his Party is in fact the Strongest)

Big brother.

He

is that strong?

But why doesn't his sword break?

Because it's a magic sword.

Magic sword?

I've heard about it before.

It's a legendary sword with great power.

So is that rumor true?

Can't believe he can get such a sword.

Who is he exactly?

Oh no.

Narusena.

Wait.

It

wants to fight me.

What?

That Hydra is taking that girl hostage,

asking Raust to fight it one-on-one?

How could a monster be so smart?

It's possible.

Mutated monsters don't just strengthen their bodies,

but also evolve in intelligence and malice.

I have read an article about it before.

Please don't make your move.

Raust, get up.

Narusena.

What's going on?

What exactly happened?

I wish you could stay asleep.

Big brother.

Big brother.

Narusena, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Fortunately, Miss Lyra had bought the antidote in advance.

After all, it isn't cheap.

I'll charge you for it later.

Okay.

How's Armia?

She's still asleep.

But there's no danger to her life.

Well,

what happened to you just looking like that?

Looking like that?

Raust.

You really are incredibly strong.

As long as you're here,

even super difficult monsters are no match for us.

Maybe we could take down the Master of Marmot's Labyrinth.

What are you talking about?

No one has even seen the Master of the Labyrinth.

You are thinking too far ahead.

Margulus, I've told you…

Alright, don't worry.

After defeating the Hydra, a lot of magic stones have dropped.

Let's split the money from selling the magic stones among the three of us.

The three of us?

Me, you, and Saberia.

Those two newcomers haven't done anything.

They won't get a share this time.

And that young girl over there is your sidekick, right?

Just find an excuse to please her.

What?

What about Armia?

She is of no use anymore.

No matter if she has done the work of the Wizard well or not,

she might not even wake up now.

It doesn't matter.

Why don't we just sell her then?

After all, she looks pretty good.

Some people with special tastes like to play with this kind of doll.

Margulus.

You hit me?

You hit me, right?

The guild forbids

adventurers from fighting each other.

You're breaking the rules,

could be expelled from the guild.

Hey, you all saw it, right?

No, I didn't see anything.

Me neither.

W-What are you guys talking about?

I saw it.

I'll testify at the guild,

saying that you're all colluding.

Well,

I think I did see it.

You did see it, right?

Looks like someone was trying to traffic people.

You're trying to sell this young girl

to some perverted noble

before she regains consciousness.

Eh?

That's a felony.

As a member of the guild,

naturally, we cannot let such a bad guy go.

Can you come with me, please?

Who exactly are you?

Eh?

A Direct Adventurer from the Royal City's Adventurer's Guild?

Sieg is an alias.

My real name is Zieg.

Your disguise is full of flaws, though.

What?

Why would a direct adventurer from Royal City

come to a small town like this?

Since you're a guild employee, you should know

that direct adventurers

have the authority to regulate other adventurers.

Recently,

the security of this town has been deteriorating.

I've heard that the reason lies with the adventurers,

so I came to check it out.

And I immediately ran into them.

What will happen to

the two of them next?

Of course, they will be expelled from the Adventurer's Guild.

And they're involved in human trafficking.

Maybe they'll be punished with a lifetime of forced labor.

W-What?

I-I would never do such things.

Anyway,

rules are rules.

Do something.

Right, I can pay.

Please spare us.

Human trafficking?

We didn't actually implement it.

Can't you just turn a blind eye to that?

- Zieg, can you come here? - Yes, Saberia. You're right.

We didn't actually implement it.

After all,

this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't said something like that.

Exactly.

We didn't do anything.

What's wrong?

Why so serious?

Well,

could you spare the two of them?

Why?

They once held the aspiration to become adventurers,

and with the desire to continue being adventurers,

to come this far.

It's just that at some point,

their goals turned into "Want to be a top Adventurer."

and began to crave fame,

and want more money.

I'm sure they didn't start out like this.

So,

can you give them one more chance

and let them become adventurers again?

Big brother.

What would you do, Zieg?

Listen.

You'd better get as far away from this town as possible.

If I see you again,

then…

Okay.

We'll stay far, far away.

Saberia, run!

I'm running!

Is this really okay?

Even they got expelled from the guild,

it might not make them better.

In that case, it's better for them to remain adventurers

and be monitored by us.

This approach is very effective

in a place like Royal City, which is full of direct adventurers.

But Marmot is just a small town.

I see.

Then I'll stay here for now.

Really? That would be a great help.

I'm sorry, big brother.

Eh?

It's all because I insisted on helping them.

Are you apologizing to me

because the Margulus and Saberia

got kicked out of town?

Because…

Indeed,

I may not be able to fully get over them.

But I feel much better now.

Big brother.

So,

thank you, Narusena.

Please continue to be my partner well.

Okay.

To monitor adventurers?

To be precise, it's to monitor the Marmot Division.

The guild in the Royal City

believes that the mutation occurring in this town

could be the work of the Marmot Division

or the head of the division.

Is that why you suggested staying here?

I wondered why you would say something like that.

Lyra, I have a favor to ask of you.

Are you going to ask me to help you?

Do you want us to form a party like before?

Don't you want it?

Well,

I have one condition.

Go ahead.

As long as it's something

I am capable of.

In that case,

can you let this child join our party?

Let Armia join us?

Why?

Why do you all have to ask this?

Isn't it obvious?

Because I couldn't abandon her.

That's it.

Alright, I agree.

After all, having a few more partners is good for me too.

Because now I have more people I need to monitor.

I can't let

that guy unattended.
