1
00:00:01,470 --> 00:00:02,780
You're back?

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,430
Hello.

3
00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:11,400
Even with my barrier, I can feel the 
stifling magicules around me again today.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,610
Good grief, you're just 
increasing my workload.

5
00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:17,220
That should be my line...

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,760
If your branch had submitted its
 income and expenses report on time,

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,250
there would be no need 
for an investigation.

8
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:25,750
That whole business is 
entirely for you, isn't it?

9
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:28,590
Besides, the Church exists
 outside the kingdom's authority.

10
00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:31,070
Who do you think you are, 
demanding we submit

11
00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:32,580
yearly income and expenses reports?

12
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:35,380
This is their attitude
 after being designated

13
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,960
as the kingdom's primary religion 
and receiving subsidies?

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,370
I'd really like to meet whoever's 
in charge of your accounting.

15
00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:44,560
Brother Cipriano isn't here.

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,810
The royal palace is investigating,
and the person in charge is absent?

17
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,760
When will he return?

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,780
He went to a meeting in another 
town with Bishop Mateus,

19
00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:57,890
so he won't be back for a while.

20
00:00:58,730 --> 00:01:01,300
This Bishop Mateus again...

21
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:05,070
I'll show you around the church,
so make sure you keep up.

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,890
ISEKAI OFFICE WORKER: THE OTHER WORLD'S
BOOKS DEPEND ON THE BEAN COUNTER

23
00:02:40,930 --> 00:02:45,350
EPISODE 8: I WENT TO WORK ON MY DAY OFF

24
00:02:38,110 --> 00:02:40,630
I've grown used to working in the palace,

25
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:43,460
but the church has a completely
 different feel to it.

26
00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:48,680
There are more statues than just Abran.

27
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,140
Are they important religious 
figures or perhaps gods?

28
00:02:53,950 --> 00:02:56,970
There's a barrier around them to keep
anyone from messing with them.

29
00:02:57,450 --> 00:03:00,000
So that was from magic 
just now, not magicules.

30
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,170
Either way, I'd better be careful.

31
00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:04,990
Let's get on with the next explanation.

32
00:03:04,990 --> 00:03:07,990
He sure likes to talk a lot 
when it comes to the church.

33
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:12,200
The fire hour, huh?

34
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:15,840
We don't really have 
anything here for you...

35
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,210
But, well, since you're a representative 
from the royal palace,

36
00:03:19,210 --> 00:03:21,720
we've no choice but to feed you.

37
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,510
Oh, there's no need for that.

38
00:03:24,510 --> 00:03:27,390
I brought my own lunch, 
so please don't worry about me.

39
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:29,740
Damn it!

40
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,970
Okay. It's time for lunch...
which means I have some free time.

41
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,620
The civil servant...

42
00:03:37,620 --> 00:03:40,630
Pleased to see you again, Priest Siegvold.

43
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:42,800
Where is Selio?

44
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,500
He went to eat lunch.

45
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:46,430
And left you behind?

46
00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:49,540
No. He invited me to join him,

47
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:52,330
but I declined since
I brought my own lunch.

48
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:54,120
I see.

49
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:57,950
Where are those documents from?

50
00:03:57,950 --> 00:04:00,560
They're visitor logs
 from the assembly hall.

51
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,770
Please get permission before 
removing any documents.

52
00:04:03,770 --> 00:04:07,160
I attempted to speak with the 
person in the assembly hall,

53
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,630
but I will make sure to 
get permission next time.

54
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,110
Have you finished your lunch?

55
00:04:14,890 --> 00:04:16,070
Where are we?

56
00:04:16,070 --> 00:04:19,650
This is a flower garden created 
by the holy maiden before last.

57
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,910
She said that flowers soothe the human 
heart and cared for this garden herself.

58
00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:27,350
The holy maiden of two generations ago...

59
00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:31,900
I believe records say she became a nun 
on the outskirts of the kingdom.

60
00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:36,500
She must have settled down at this 
church after fulfilling her duties.

61
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:42,430
Could it be... that he's monitoring me?

62
00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:45,510
I heard that you're the otherworlder

63
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:48,430
who was summoned alongside
 the current holy maiden.

64
00:04:48,430 --> 00:04:50,000
Yes, that's right.

65
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:51,670
I see...

66
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:56,180
Actually, I was present at 
the time of the summoning.

67
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:00,440
Come to think of it, were people 
from the Church there then?

68
00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:05,250
Thank you for answering Abran's call

69
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:10,320
and doing your utmost with the 
holy maiden to save this kingdom.

70
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,470
No, I was just dragged into—

71
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:15,280
I mean, I happened to come 
along with Shiraishi—

72
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,290
Her Holiness as a normal person 
with no power whatsoever.

73
00:05:19,290 --> 00:05:21,210
I don't deserve such thanks.

74
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,930
No. The summoning ceremony manifested

75
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:26,780
divine revelation 
bestowed upon us by Abran.

76
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:29,950
There is meaning to your arrival here.

77
00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:33,620
If that's the case,
 I wish you'd taken better care of me.

78
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:37,940
You are, after all, a disciple 
sent to us by Abran.

79
00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:40,230
I'm nothing so grand...

80
00:05:40,910 --> 00:05:45,550
This must be what it feels like to have
 a mission unconditionally thrust upon you

81
00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:47,690
and high expectations placed 
on your shoulders.

82
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:51,110
This was Abran's will.

83
00:05:56,460 --> 00:05:58,000
What is it, Pavel?

84
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,410
Norbert, we haven't gotten very far 
on this. Will we be all right?

85
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:12,660
Sei-san won't be back for a whole month!

86
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:14,510
We have plenty of time!

87
00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:17,930
When did I say that this was all 
the work you'd have for the month?

88
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:22,040
S-S-S-S-Sei-san?! Weren't you 
temporarily assigned to the church?!

89
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,510
Today's my day off.

90
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:25,510
Then what're you doing here?

91
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:27,760
I came to see if you were slacking.

92
00:06:28,250 --> 00:06:31,790
I'm kidding. I only came 
to do my own work.

93
00:06:31,790 --> 00:06:34,710
No, you should rest on your days off.

94
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:37,420
Then when would this backlog get done?

95
00:06:37,690 --> 00:06:41,910
Am I allowed to tell 
Commander Indolark about this?

96
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:47,060
Won't it be bad if you 
run into each other here?

97
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:50,170
It'll be fine. Aresh-sama
never comes here alone.

98
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,180
Oh, you shouldn't eat that!

99
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:56,020
It's not that I can't
 eat such foods forever.

100
00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:58,140
I'm slowly building up a tolerance.

101
00:06:58,140 --> 00:06:59,560
You are?

102
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,130
Then do you wanna go drinking tonight?

103
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:03,930
Have you been listening to me?

104
00:07:04,420 --> 00:07:05,690
That's too bad.

105
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:08,570
I wanted to hear about the church.

106
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:11,120
Oh, I actually wanted to ask 
you about that myself.

107
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,530
Have you been to the church before?

108
00:07:13,530 --> 00:07:15,040
Of course!

109
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,270
All citizens are baptized by 
the Church at the age of six

110
00:07:18,270 --> 00:07:21,120
and undergo a coming-of-age 
ceremony there at eighteen.

111
00:07:21,590 --> 00:07:25,250
As I'd expect of a national religion 
that 90% of the populace believes in.

112
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:28,860
We even give offerings to the 
Church during seasonal festivals.

113
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:32,510
The Church feels closer to people
 than the royal palace.

114
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,430
Nobles who own land 
support their local churches,

115
00:07:35,430 --> 00:07:37,610
while nobles who don't either support

116
00:07:37,610 --> 00:07:40,430
the one in the royal capital 
or the orthodox church.

117
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:45,770
Now that I think about it, I saw many 
noble family names in the visitor logs.

118
00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:50,770
Also, a lot of the positions in the
Church are normally held by nobles.

119
00:07:51,460 --> 00:07:54,400
As I suspected, 
that priest must be a noble.

120
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,280
The only ones allowed to work in 
churches are those who graduated

121
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,880
from the almshouse or nobles 
with lots of magical energy.

122
00:08:01,340 --> 00:08:03,280
That's because you need plenty of it

123
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,330
for prayer ceremonies and sacred relics.

124
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,230
So the magicules aren't just from 
the barriers around the sacred relics.

125
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:12,810
No wonder I felt so uncomfortable.

126
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:18,880
If it weren't for Aresh-sama's barrier, 
I might have collapsed on the first day.

127
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:23,550
It's you again...

128
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:25,630
Thank you for all your help.

129
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:29,110
Selio is... I suppose 
there's no need to ask.

130
00:08:29,110 --> 00:08:30,440
What a troublesome child.

131
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,690
Do whatever you want!

132
00:08:33,710 --> 00:08:36,270
He's very devout in his faith,

133
00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:39,700
but his honesty to his own 
emotions is a bit of a problem.

134
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:43,670
I believe it's quite normal at that age.

135
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:48,950
Besides, it would seem he 
never liked me to begin with.

136
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:51,250
True...

137
00:08:51,710 --> 00:08:58,210
He's always had an inferiority complex 
toward nobles and civil servants.

138
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,490
If they assigned him to me knowing that,

139
00:09:02,490 --> 00:09:05,740
the church must feel very strongly
 about the royal palace indeed.

140
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:12,330
Of the monks in training, some have no 
families, and the majority are commoners.

141
00:09:12,330 --> 00:09:16,140
They instinctively reject 
anyone from the royal palace.

142
00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:19,510
I wish I could reassign you another guide,

143
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:23,990
but I cannot go against the 
orders of Bishop Mateus.

144
00:09:24,370 --> 00:09:26,490
No, please don't worry about it.

145
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,410
The church is open year-round.

146
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:33,210
Their jobs and lives here are intertwined,
so they learn as they work every day.

147
00:09:33,770 --> 00:09:37,190
Being raised in such a closed-off
environment from a young age

148
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:39,810
is bound to instill a biased 
set of values in them.

149
00:09:43,170 --> 00:09:46,400
The church can prepare meals for you.

150
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Many foods disagree with my constitution,

151
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,150
so it's easier to bring my own lunch.

152
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:54,100
I have no resistance to magicules
 or magical energy,

153
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:58,140
so I show symptoms of overdose if 
I consume foods containing them in excess.

154
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:00,060
Overdose?

155
00:10:00,060 --> 00:10:04,180
Yes, holy magic and recovery spells 
have the opposite effect on me.

156
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:06,290
Though they'd heal injury or illness,

157
00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:08,720
I'd break out in a fever
from magic-sickness.

158
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,910
But the holy maiden...

159
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:16,450
I suspect she received divine protection,
as she was formally summoned here.

160
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:21,670
Yes, divine protection... That's true.

161
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:23,540
Then that must mean...

162
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,420
You are the tribulated disciple.

163
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:29,180
Come again?

164
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:34,180
Your inability to adapt to this world
 must be a trial given to you by God.

165
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:37,200
I think I just flipped a switch!

166
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:39,670
What an incredible sense of déjà vu!

167
00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:44,120
If I'm not careful, I might get 
strong-armed into monastic training...

168
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,830
I just happened to tag along when
the holy maiden was summoned!

169
00:10:47,830 --> 00:10:49,110
No!

170
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:52,080
Everything God does has meaning.

171
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:54,390
Is that right?

172
00:10:56,190 --> 00:10:57,080
Ist-san...

173
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:59,210
Ist-san.

174
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,000
It's Kondou.

175
00:11:02,770 --> 00:11:05,720
I've come to get a progress 
report on the return spell.

176
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:10,210
Oh, Kondu! Long time no see.

177
00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:13,480
The otherworlder is amazing.

178
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:24,490
BLABBER BLABBER BLABBER BLABBER

179
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Even we can't understand some 
of the stuff Ist-san says.

180
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,460
Are all otherworlders like that?

181
00:11:20,460 --> 00:11:24,490
I think something's just wrong with 
him. He's similar to Ist-san...

182
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:27,410
Not only do you lack manpower,

183
00:11:27,410 --> 00:11:30,720
but you also lack the funds to buy
 tools required for your research.

184
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,390
Huh?!

185
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:33,490
Are you going to buy them for us?
When? Tomorrow?

186
00:11:33,830 --> 00:11:36,110
I didn't say we'd buy them yet.

187
00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:39,500
I'll be at the church tomorrow, 
so I won't be able come by.

188
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,740
Then bring me back one 
of those sacred relics.

189
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:44,650
That's obviously not happening.

190
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:46,860
Good grief...

191
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:50,540
Kondou-san! It's been a while!

192
00:11:51,270 --> 00:11:52,750
It certainly has.

193
00:11:52,750 --> 00:11:55,390
Likewise, it's been some time, 
Prince Yurius.

194
00:11:56,650 --> 00:11:58,900
I don't wish to see your face.

195
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:03,780
Kondou-san, I heard you wouldn't be
around because of a temporary assignment.

196
00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:06,790
I am indeed on a temporary
 assignment elsewhere.

197
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:09,040
I'm just back on my day off.

198
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:12,460
It's your day off, but you came 
to work in your uniform?

199
00:12:12,460 --> 00:12:14,300
You must be quite busy...

200
00:12:14,930 --> 00:12:17,570
Still, your temporary
 assignment must be close

201
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,720
if you can stop by here 
on your day off, right?

202
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,060
Yes. I'm working at the church 
in the royal capital.

203
00:12:22,060 --> 00:12:23,930
Huh? The church?

204
00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:26,760
I've been visiting the church myself!

205
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,230
Is that so?

206
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:30,430
How is your work going there?

207
00:12:30,770 --> 00:12:35,440
I've been purifying those who feel 
sick and healing the injured.

208
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,180
I'm really happy there's somewhere
 I can be of so much help!

209
00:12:39,690 --> 00:12:41,310
She looks so spirited.

210
00:12:41,730 --> 00:12:43,660
She must find it quite rewarding.

211
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:45,210
And then there's Selio-kun!

212
00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:49,460
He's one of the children training to 
become a monk, and he's so beautiful!

213
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:53,320
On top of that, he's a very good boy 
and teaches me all kinds of things.

214
00:12:53,630 --> 00:12:54,830
Oh?

215
00:12:54,830 --> 00:12:57,910
But I've never run into you at the church.

216
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,540
It's a large facility, and I'm
 mainly doing office work,

217
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:05,210
so I hardly visit the chapel.

218
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:07,050
Oh, that makes sense...

219
00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:07,850
Yua.

220
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:12,000
You're the holy maiden, 
so there's no need for you to work.

221
00:13:12,940 --> 00:13:14,460
Yurius-sama...

222
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:19,100
As I've said many times before,
I want to do what I can.

223
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,110
I've told you that
you only need to purify—

224
00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:24,740
And I've told you I don't want that!

225
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:28,660
I'm sorry.

226
00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:35,000
Wait.

227
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:38,130
Come with me for a bit.

228
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:41,000
Why?

229
00:13:41,330 --> 00:13:44,970
Why has Yua come to reject me?

230
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:49,250
Why does she depend on someone weak
 and powerless like you instead of me?

231
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,020
Answer me, Kondou!

232
00:13:51,510 --> 00:13:54,010
He pronounced my name correctly.

233
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,030
Ask me all you'd like,

234
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:59,790
but the answer is obvious if 
you consider what's led to this.

235
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,150
Perhaps the two of you are drifting 
apart due to a difference in values.

236
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:07,260
A difference in values?

237
00:14:07,260 --> 00:14:11,020
Yua's from a noble family. 
Our ideals cannot be so different.

238
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,890
No, the class system was abolished 
in our country and no longer exists.

239
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:18,310
Is that so?

240
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:20,590
Even so, Yua is the holy maiden.

241
00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:22,410
She should be treated with great care.

242
00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:27,920
Yet recently, 
she's begun to spurn even that.

243
00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:30,550
She's likely showing restraint.

244
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,930
She probably doesn't want to 
feel she owes him anything.

245
00:14:33,930 --> 00:14:36,560
In simple terms, she doesn't 
want others to just serve her.

246
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800
She wants to return to her own world.

247
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,980
However, the kingdom wants her to stay 
as a political and diplomatic symbol.

248
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,580
Quite the impasse, 
no matter how you look at it.

249
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:50,520
Enough. Leave me.

250
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,330
Then if you'll excuse me...

251
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,450
Good grief.

252
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
I was planning on doing some 
research in the palace library.

253
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,420
I need to hurry...

254
00:15:01,790 --> 00:15:05,720
Commander Makovska of the second
royal order. Nice to see you again.

255
00:15:06,410 --> 00:15:07,840
Do you have some time?

256
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,510
I'm very sorry. I actually have 
something to do after this.

257
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,350
It won't take long.

258
00:15:13,790 --> 00:15:16,530
Please just let me work.

259
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Don't worry. There are no longer any 
knights who'd dare lay a hand on you.

260
00:15:23,220 --> 00:15:25,370
So, what is this about?

261
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:28,350
Well, it's about Prince Yurius...

262
00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:30,990
Is there another problem with him?

263
00:15:31,340 --> 00:15:35,110
Is there any way you could mediate 
between His Highness and Her Holiness?

264
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:36,130
I'm leaving.

265
00:15:41,390 --> 00:15:42,780
That guy...

266
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:44,890
Wasn't his name Kon...

267
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:47,200
Kon...ou?

268
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,000
What about Seiichirou?

269
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:52,360
Aresh, don't startle me like that.

270
00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:55,280
You startled yourself.

271
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,880
So, what about Seiichirou?

272
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Sei...ichiro?

273
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640
Didn't you just mention his name?

274
00:16:01,990 --> 00:16:03,810
Oh, just now?

275
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,090
Well, since we just found out 
about the next expedition,

276
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:10,900
I was wondering if Seiichiro
 would be coming along.

277
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,250
He participated in the first
 due to demand from above

278
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:16,630
and to investigate for the
 miasma containment project,

279
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:20,360
but someone of his constitution 
should never go near the demon forest.

280
00:16:20,910 --> 00:16:22,220
I'll never let him do it again.

281
00:16:22,220 --> 00:16:25,220
Since when did Aresh have the final say?

282
00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:29,690
Oh, come to think of it, we finally 
received the documents for the expedition.

283
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:32,030
Could you take a look at them?

284
00:16:32,030 --> 00:16:33,050
Got it.

285
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:42,880
No one other than myself needs 
to call him Seiichirou.

286
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,310
His family name is Kondou.

287
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,510
Call him that.

288
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,230
This goes beyond just being protective.

289
00:16:53,230 --> 00:16:58,960
He always puts Kondu first, 
and now they're even living together.

290
00:17:01,010 --> 00:17:03,120
There's no doubt about it.

291
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,860
Aresh's first love is definitely 
Kondu the otherworlder.

292
00:17:11,010 --> 00:17:13,610
The bishop and accountant, 
who are away on business,

293
00:17:13,610 --> 00:17:15,370
should be returning shortly.

294
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,390
I'd like to have all the church 
documents in order before then.

295
00:17:19,940 --> 00:17:24,890
The problem is that I'm unfamiliar with
the politics of the Church and nobility.

296
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,500
The Church...

297
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:27,390
The nobility...

298
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:32,860
Nobles should have family names, 
but the priest didn't give me one.

299
00:17:33,950 --> 00:17:34,840
Milan-san.

300
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,770
Yes?

301
00:17:35,770 --> 00:17:39,280
Do nobles who enter the 
Church cut ties with their families?

302
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,450
That depends.

303
00:17:41,450 --> 00:17:44,280
Some nobles still receive aid
from their families once they join.

304
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,500
Sometimes children from good families

305
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:50,910
are also entrusted to a church 
temporarily to learn manners.

306
00:17:50,910 --> 00:17:54,740
So not everyone cuts familial 
ties when they enter.

307
00:17:57,370 --> 00:17:58,670
Pardon me.

308
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,060
Milord has returned. 
Would you join us in greeting him?

309
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:06,730
That was close!

310
00:18:06,730 --> 00:18:10,670
We would have crossed paths 
if I'd come home any later.

311
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,810
Either way, he's home awfully early today.

312
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,770
Valtom-san has been taking care of 
Aresh-sama since he was a young boy.

313
00:18:20,210 --> 00:18:24,990
He's practically a father figure and 
the only one who can reason with him.

314
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,870
If a man like him is asking me 
to greet Aresh-sama with them,

315
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:29,900
this must mean...

316
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,500
I don't have the courage to ask,

317
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:37,900
but I wonder what the servants 
of this house think of me.

318
00:18:39,540 --> 00:18:41,850
Welcome home, Aresh-sama.

319
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:43,850
What are you plotting?

320
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,050
How rude. It's the least I can do 
to welcome my landlord home.

321
00:18:49,050 --> 00:18:51,350
What kind of person do you take me for?

322
00:18:51,940 --> 00:18:54,110
An extreme workaholic.

323
00:18:54,650 --> 00:18:57,440
I don't think I'll be welcoming 
him home anymore.

324
00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:10,390
I have the documents for the 
next expedition. Want to see?

325
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:11,340
I do!

326
00:19:13,690 --> 00:19:17,700
The purification should be complete
 with the third expedition,

327
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,100
so I proposed to have barrier sorcerers
and builders join the expedition

328
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:26,450
and stand by in a local village, 
but it seems that was rejected.

329
00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:28,920
The completion of the 
purification isn't certain.

330
00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:31,490
We'll need to confirm things 
after the purification,

331
00:19:31,490 --> 00:19:33,530
and there's already
 a shortage of sorcerers,

332
00:19:33,530 --> 00:19:37,220
so I'm sure they weren't able to gather
enough to cast the barrier spell.

333
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:40,980
Then we'll need a separate expedition 
to put up the barrier...

334
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,620
One needs a certain level
 of magical energy

335
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:45,960
to be appointed as a 
royal sorcerer, right?

336
00:19:46,380 --> 00:19:48,200
The number of people who have that...

337
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,490
...are few.

338
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:52,480
On top of that, if they're 
to work in the demon forest,

339
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,710
they'd best have high magicule resistance.

340
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,820
The third royal order boasts 
mental and physical strength,

341
00:19:58,820 --> 00:20:01,000
and we're skilled at 
controlling our magic.

342
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,030
There's no point in having magical
energy if you can't control it.

343
00:20:05,470 --> 00:20:09,430
Does that mean magical 
energy can go out of control?

344
00:20:10,170 --> 00:20:11,100
That's right.

345
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,830
That's why children with such tendencies

346
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:15,800
are usually left in the care of churches.

347
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,870
Churches?

348
00:20:17,470 --> 00:20:21,810
Come to think of it, there are barrier 
spells cast all over the church.

349
00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:27,860
Moreover, nobles, commoners,
and orphans all work there together.

350
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:31,830
That must be bringing together people
 with strong magical energy

351
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:34,080
and resistance to magicules, 
regardless of class.

352
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:39,790
Wait, Aresh-sama...

353
00:20:39,790 --> 00:20:41,760
I'm casting another barrier layer.

354
00:20:42,090 --> 00:20:43,190
Look at me.

355
00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:45,510
I don't mean like that.

356
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:46,900
Huh?

357
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:51,150
Aresh-sama! I'm too heavy!

358
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,140
You aren't.

359
00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:54,120
Let me down!

360
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,430
Seiichirou...

361
00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:05,190
How about this?

362
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:06,030
Huh?

363
00:21:06,030 --> 00:21:07,970
You don't like being in my lap, right?

364
00:21:07,970 --> 00:21:09,430
Oh, yeah...

365
00:21:10,790 --> 00:21:13,720
Wait, why did you push me down?

366
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,290
We're already done, aren't we?

367
00:21:15,940 --> 00:21:18,060
You've put on a bit of weight.

368
00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:19,540
You're checking my body?

369
00:21:23,290 --> 00:21:25,810
The next expedition is in six days.

370
00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:28,570
We still have mountains to move.

371
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:30,690
I need to pull myself together...

372
00:21:34,180 --> 00:21:36,360
Don't think about it! Don't think about it!

373
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,510
Aresh-sama is the commander of a 
prestigious order and naturally clever.

374
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:45,750
He's quick to learn and has 
a keen sense of intuition.

375
00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:49,640
Rather than him being swept up in things,

376
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,110
I feel like he's clearly targeting my 
aversion to wasting time and my desire

377
00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:56,500
to get the most out of a situation.

378
00:21:57,140 --> 00:22:01,190
This isn't the kind of decision 
to be made based on efficiency.

379
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:05,500
He's a troublesome opponent...

380
00:22:06,850 --> 00:22:09,880
Anyone else is way off-base
to be coming to me for advice.

381
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,220
I haven't even been able to face 
my own feelings properly...

382
00:23:35,010 --> 00:23:40,090

I MADE A PLAN
