1
00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:03,970
You're here again? What a pest.

2
00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:06,320
Good morning, Selio-san.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,290
You look as busy as ever.

4
00:00:08,290 --> 00:00:10,290
Yeah, I'm busy.

5
00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:12,740
I can't get any work done because of you.

6
00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:15,980
I wouldn't mind if you let me be.

7
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:20,410
Looks like he's finally planning 
on monitoring me all day.

8
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:22,380
Hey, Selio!

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,380
What are you doing? Why aren't 
you helping in the almshouse?

10
00:00:26,380 --> 00:00:29,770
Huh? Well, I was assigned
 to watch over this guy today,

11
00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:31,440
so you'll need someone else to...

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Just leave that guy alone.

13
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:36,740
He's merely the tagalong from
another world who can't do anything.

14
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:39,630
Don't dump your work
 in the almshouse on me!

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,010
Okay...

16
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:46,870
Don't do anything inappropriate, 
otherworld commoner.

17
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:52,610
And that's how you ended up here?

18
00:00:52,610 --> 00:00:53,400
Yes.

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,430
Gracious, what troublesome children.

20
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:59,840
I will fetch Selio, so kindly 
return to the other room.

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,290
Oh, in that case, let me 
accompany you to the almshouse.

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,120
Why?

23
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,090
Since the almshouse is part of the church,
it's also under investigation.

24
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:12,340
Besides, if I go there instead,

25
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:16,810
Selio-san can continue watching me 
while doing his part in the almshouse.

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,220
Wouldn't that be more efficient?

27
00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:38,910
ISEKAI OFFICE WORKER: THE OTHER WORLD'S
BOOKS DEPEND ON THE BEAN COUNTER

28
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,190
EPISODE 9: I MADE A PLAN

29
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,700
So this is the almshouse...

30
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,480
You're currently caring for 
28 children here, correct?

31
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,020
Where did you get that information?

32
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:03,580
It was in those documents.

33
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:08,880
Does your shamelessness come
 from being a civil servant? Or...

34
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,540
It's probably due to my personality.

35
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:13,830
Do the children have to graduate
the almshouse at a certain age?

36
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:15,880
Indeed.

37
00:03:16,220 --> 00:03:19,500
The almshouse only cares for 
them until the age of twelve.

38
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,660
After that, they must either 
train as monks or take civilian jobs.

39
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:26,960
I see. What kind of work do they...

40
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,490
Disciple, with all due respect,

41
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:32,980
you should act in a manner a little 
more befitting a disciple of Abran.

42
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:34,870
I'm not a disciple.

43
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:38,280
So, where do the children 
without families end up working?

44
00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:41,890
Most of them apprentice with craftsmen.

45
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:43,140
Craftsmen?

46
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,330
They don't take jobs that make 
use of their magical energy?

47
00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:51,160
I don't know what you've 
heard from where, but...

48
00:03:51,730 --> 00:03:54,440
There are many children here

49
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,680
who cannot control their magical energy 
and had to leave their families.

50
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,790
We teach them how to control their power 
so that they may lead normal lives.

51
00:04:02,790 --> 00:04:06,350
They're in the church's care to keep 
their magical energy in check...

52
00:04:06,350 --> 00:04:08,230
Aresh-sama said the same thing.

53
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,980
Either way, I can feel his magical 
energy waves through my barrier.

54
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,200
It would be unwise to press him further.

55
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,910
You!

56
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,210
What did you come here for?!

57
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:27,250
I thought it would be easier 
for you to watch me this way

58
00:04:27,250 --> 00:04:29,480
while you're working in the almshouse.

59
00:04:29,890 --> 00:04:33,620
Selio, Fredrik should have been the one 
responsible for the almshouse today.

60
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,080
Th-That's...

61
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,960
Good grief. Come to me if something 
like this happens again.

62
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:40,980
That's likely impossible.

63
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,630
I'd wager this is a common occurrence, 
and snitching would only make it worse.

64
00:04:47,530 --> 00:04:51,400
There's no need for a civil servant
like you to come to the almshouse!

65
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:52,850
Oh! Kondou-san, you're here!

66
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,350
So you really are visiting the church!

67
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,510
What brings you here today?

68
00:04:58,510 --> 00:04:59,790
I'm on my inspection.

69
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:02,280
What are you doing here, Shiraishi-san?

70
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:06,190
Lately, I've been helping out 
here in the almshouse.

71
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:07,530
Is that so?

72
00:05:07,530 --> 00:05:08,430
Yes!

73
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:11,370
The holy maiden is doing other work?

74
00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:14,130
Even though she's the only one
with purification magic?

75
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:18,880
I happened to meet an orphaned child 
who came to the chapel and...

76
00:05:19,150 --> 00:05:22,260
Oh, but this church...

77
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:26,260
U-Um, I thought the two
of you didn't get along.

78
00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:27,280
Huh?

79
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:31,940
I mean, this guy is trying to destroy 
the holy maiden's prestige.

80
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:36,300
Could he be talking about the plan 
to eliminate the holy maiden system?

81
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:40,140
Why would that make Kondou-san 
and I dislike each other?

82
00:05:40,450 --> 00:05:44,020
Why? Because the importance 
of the holy maiden will...

83
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:45,650
I see.

84
00:05:46,270 --> 00:05:50,030
This must be the reason everyone
 at the church has been so unfriendly.

85
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,250
That's right!

86
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:55,760
Once the holy maiden system's abolished,
I'll be able to go back to my world.

87
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,040
I couldn't be happier!

88
00:05:59,260 --> 00:06:00,180
Um...

89
00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:06,200
The children here in the almshouse
 don't receive any sort of education.

90
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,670
Come again?

91
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,960
They aren't allowed to go to school,

92
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,170
and they spend each day here working

93
00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:14,810
and doing all the housekeeping
for the communal areas.

94
00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:20,350
I really don't think it's a very good
situation for these children's futures.

95
00:06:20,350 --> 00:06:22,230
Um, Shiraishi-san...

96
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:27,510
I understand that not 
everyone can attend school.

97
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:30,030
But it's such a shame that 
they lose the opportunity

98
00:06:30,030 --> 00:06:32,490
to learn just because 
they don't have parents.

99
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:35,060
This is a different world.

100
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:37,410
We shouldn't compare it to modern Japan.

101
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,030
Still...

102
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:41,660
Losing precious talent and human resources

103
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:44,480
over their birth or upbringing
is a huge loss for any country.

104
00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:48,790
Sigma, who made my abacus, 
is undoubtedly talented.

105
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:51,290
Not utilizing the kids' magical
energy also seems a waste.

106
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:54,910
Above all, they have no freedom 
to choose their occupations.

107
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:59,150
So I was wondering if 
we could do something...

108
00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:02,390
You're so kind, Your Holiness.

109
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,770
But it's impossible.

110
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,930
The almshouse doesn't have 
the time or money for that.

111
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:13,940
But even you, Selio-kun...

112
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:17,820
Didn't you have a dream job 
when you were a child?

113
00:07:17,820 --> 00:07:19,120
That's...

114
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:24,170
The little children here 
often tell me their dreams.

115
00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:27,650
"When I grow up, I want to become 
a sorcerer working in the castle."

116
00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:29,430
"I want to become a knight."

117
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,970
It's wrong that they end up unable
to honestly say such things anymore

118
00:07:33,970 --> 00:07:35,390
and abandon all hope.

119
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:41,380
You must have come from a very 
peaceful world, Your Holiness.

120
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,010
The world I'm from sees war 
and discrimination, too.

121
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,490
We even have almshouses.

122
00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:54,830
But we still have the freedom 
to achieve our dreams.

123
00:07:55,970 --> 00:07:58,510
That's impossible...

124
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:03,580
It's not possible to change everything 
at once, no, but it's worth consideration.

125
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,090
It's difficult to expand an education 
initiative in one fell swoop,

126
00:08:08,090 --> 00:08:11,470
but a potential approach is to open 
something similar to a private school.

127
00:08:11,810 --> 00:08:14,510
If it's at the church, 
people will have easy access.

128
00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:18,590
This, in turn, increases people's trust
in the church and attracts worshipers.

129
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:21,130
It may be wishful thinking on my part,

130
00:08:21,130 --> 00:08:24,470
but I believe it will also attract
more and more volunteers over time.

131
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:26,670
Th-There's no way it'd go that well!

132
00:08:26,670 --> 00:08:28,020
Wow, it'll be amazing!

133
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,670
Just like those open-air classrooms!

134
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:32,670
B-But what'll we do about study materials?

135
00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:34,860
And what about our work in the almshouse?

136
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,350
If we organize the classes in shifts,

137
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,610
they can be smaller,
 and study materials can be shared.

138
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:45,040
We could split the almshouse 
children into three groups

139
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,470
and have all of them take turns working 
and studying on different days.

140
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:52,540
Just learning basic reading, 
writing, and arithmetic

141
00:08:52,540 --> 00:08:54,380
will make you more valuable in town

142
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:56,860
and broaden your job options.

143
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,180
Those with talent may even be able
 to pursue further education.

144
00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:03,110
You...

145
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:06,810
It'd be good to include 
a scholarship program.

146
00:09:07,250 --> 00:09:11,400
The royal family could invest in 
and subsidize gifted children.

147
00:09:11,830 --> 00:09:14,100
Nurturing talent will be highly beneficial

148
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,650
for both the royal palace and the kingdom.

149
00:09:17,020 --> 00:09:21,360
With that decided, we should confirm 
the almshouse children's wishes.

150
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,160
Hold on a second! 
No one gave you permission to...

151
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,320
Let's go, Selio-kun.

152
00:09:27,580 --> 00:09:28,580
Come on.

153
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:30,670
I'm busy, so hurry up.

154
00:09:32,390 --> 00:09:33,540
You...

155
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,570
I really hate you after all!

156
00:09:39,530 --> 00:09:44,310
I heard the bishop and the accountant 
are both currently away from the church.

157
00:09:44,310 --> 00:09:45,310
Yes.

158
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,500
For some reason, they left despite being 
notified of the inspection dates.

159
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:52,150
Luckily, that's made it easier
for me to gather documents.

160
00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:55,940
I've urged them to return
by the day after tomorrow.

161
00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:59,320
Tell me what you make
 of the church so far.

162
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,670
I will include all the
 details in my report,

163
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:05,660
but there appear to be discrepancies 
between the titles and numbers

164
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:08,400
of nobles attending services
and their donations.

165
00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:12,460
Embezzlement, eh? Any idea 
where the money's going?

166
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:15,750
I'm still investigating, 
but at the very least, the almshouse,

167
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:18,630
monks-in-training, 
and their priest likely aren't involved.

168
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:20,250
Their priest...

169
00:10:20,250 --> 00:10:22,270
Priest Siegvold?

170
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:23,340
Do you know him?

171
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:25,630
He's famous.

172
00:10:25,630 --> 00:10:27,580
Not only is his family impressive,

173
00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:30,190
but his abundant magical energy
and looks are also top-notch.

174
00:10:30,190 --> 00:10:32,770
On the other hand, his intense 
faith makes it difficult

175
00:10:32,770 --> 00:10:35,350
for the nobility to get
 their hands on him.

176
00:10:35,780 --> 00:10:38,120
His magical energy, you say?

177
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,070
Yes.

178
00:10:39,070 --> 00:10:43,410
It's a precious resource required for
 both spellcasting and magical tools.

179
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:47,700
It's difficult to handle, demanding
special knowledge and skills.

180
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:51,650
That's why children born 
with too much undergo training

181
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:55,000
at a church to learn how to
reduce their magical energy.

182
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,700
By the way, Seichiro...

183
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:01,040
How's your resistance to 
magical energy and magicules?

184
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,630
Thankfully, I am slowly 
gaining some resistance.

185
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:06,580
That's good to hear.

186
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:12,110
Still, you've already managed to grab
the reins of someone as famously difficult

187
00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:14,410
as Priest Siegvold.

188
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:20,210
Grab the reins? You make him 
sound like a wild horse.

189
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:26,360
People say he's a black beast. 
So rather than his reins...

190
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,100
Perhaps you're his chains?

191
00:11:28,510 --> 00:11:29,780
Your Excellency...

192
00:11:30,330 --> 00:11:32,030
I'm not joking.

193
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:36,970
However you may feel about him, 
you have become his chains.

194
00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:43,320
Unlike Priest Siegvold's chains,
 you're perfectly tangible.

195
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,670
Not to mention extremely fragile.

196
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:53,060
I plan to help you as best I can, 
but it never hurts to be careful.

197
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,080
I am Aresh-sama's chains...

198
00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:00,430
It's not just His Excellency.

199
00:12:00,430 --> 00:12:04,470
Everyone is starting to notice 
Aresh-sama's attachment to me.

200
00:12:05,370 --> 00:12:07,650
I appreciate your consideration.

201
00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:12,360
Now, I heard you want to open a private
 school for commoners in the church.

202
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,290
Yes.

203
00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:16,830
I see.

204
00:12:17,250 --> 00:12:19,660
You truly are a talented individual.

205
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:21,960
You're even picking apart education now?

206
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:23,150
No.

207
00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:25,940
It was Her Holiness who originally
came up with the idea.

208
00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:28,340
I merely supported her proposal.

209
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,790
I'm presently preparing an estimate
of the project's economic impact

210
00:12:31,790 --> 00:12:33,910
and will submit it to you in a few days.

211
00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:38,350
Yes, that is your area
 of expertise, after all.

212
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:42,890
There's one thing I'd like to ask you.

213
00:12:43,420 --> 00:12:44,280
Yes?

214
00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:49,510
Seichiro.

215
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,860
What is it that you want 
to do to this kingdom?

216
00:12:56,690 --> 00:12:58,240
Nothing.

217
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,010
I have no attachment to this kingdom.

218
00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:05,230
I just want to make this place 
easier for me to do my job.

219
00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:09,110
The sorcery department 
is sorely lacking in personnel.

220
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:12,100
This is causing delays in 
miasma countermeasures

221
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,840
and the return spell's development.

222
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,270
You truly are...

223
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Overlooking talented people
means massive losses for the land.

224
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,020
It's a waste not to be 
cost-effective in doing business.

225
00:13:30,140 --> 00:13:33,040
You're absolutely right.

226
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,840
Ah, what a pity.

227
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,070
What a pity, Seichiro.

228
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,800
Truly...

229
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,040
If it weren't for that black beast, 
I would have taken such good care of you.

230
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,210
I appreciate the thought.

231
00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:55,920
What are you doing here, Seiichirou?

232
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,530
Aresh-sama...

233
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,440
I swear...

234
00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:07,130
How many times must I tell you
 before you understand?

235
00:14:07,130 --> 00:14:10,940
Isn't the purification expedition
 the day after tomorrow?

236
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:12,160
Shouldn't you be preparing?

237
00:14:12,570 --> 00:14:15,000
Milan took care of that ages ago.

238
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,950
You need to prepare more than I do.

239
00:14:17,950 --> 00:14:19,210
Me?

240
00:14:19,470 --> 00:14:21,990
I won't be by your side for some time.

241
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:24,220
You'll need a thoroughly cast barrier.

242
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,720
Oh, um...

243
00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:30,160
I have tomorrow off in 
advance of the expedition.

244
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,060
We have plenty of time.

245
00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:34,460
I have work tomorrow, 
so let's keep it brief...

246
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Don't be ridiculous.

247
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,110
There's no way I'd squander 
an opportunity to touch you.

248
00:14:43,010 --> 00:14:45,230
You'd do well to remember that.

249
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,740
DAY OF THE EXPEDITION DEPARTURE

250
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,710
I'm off, Seiichirou.

251
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,250
Take care of Seiichirou
 for me while I'm gone.

252
00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:09,750
You can leave him to us.

253
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:13,720
Check on him regularly to make 
sure he's not sacrificing sleep.

254
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,000
He tends to bury himself
in work when I'm not around.

255
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:17,970
Understood.

256
00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:20,990
Give him a talking-to if 
he doesn't finish his lunch.

257
00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:22,770
Yes, Master.

258
00:15:23,050 --> 00:15:25,070
Make sure he actually rests on days off.

259
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:28,410
And have him tell you where he's 
going whenever he goes out.

260
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:30,260
Milord.

261
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:33,220
If he lies and goes to work
 on his day off...

262
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:34,250
Young Master!

263
00:15:35,010 --> 00:15:39,340
I understand your worries, 
but please leave everything to us.

264
00:15:41,260 --> 00:15:45,410
I never thought you would care 
this deeply for another.

265
00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:52,550
Even though work comes 
first for Kondu-sama,

266
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:56,330
I'm sure he will be more eager
than anyone for your safe return.

267
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:58,490
I think so, too.

268
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:01,070
He'll be there to happily 
welcome you home.

269
00:16:06,940 --> 00:16:08,840
He will, will he?

270
00:16:10,650 --> 00:16:12,410
I hope that's the case...

271
00:16:13,070 --> 00:16:14,400
Aresh-sama!

272
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,550
Seiichirou.

273
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:23,320
Are you about to depart?

274
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,120
You could have stayed in bed.

275
00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:27,060
I couldn't have.

276
00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:31,110
You're leaving on an important mission.
The least I can do is see you off.

277
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:38,500
Aresh-sama...

278
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:39,820
What is it?

279
00:16:40,810 --> 00:16:42,900
I shall await your safe return.

280
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,610
Take care not to get injured.

281
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,720
I can use recovery magic if I do.

282
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,380
Sorry, that was an absurd request
to ask of a knight like you...

283
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,760
Don't worry.

284
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,750
No one can see us behind my cloak.

285
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,140
That's not the problem here!

286
00:17:10,870 --> 00:17:14,920
Today, I'll meet the bishop and 
accountant, who have finally returned.

287
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:19,060
It's finally time for you
 to pay your dues!

288
00:17:19,060 --> 00:17:22,090
I'm the one asking for overdue payment.

289
00:17:22,090 --> 00:17:24,160
You're always so picky about everything.

290
00:17:24,430 --> 00:17:27,420
Come to think of it, Shiraishi...

291
00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:30,270
Her Holiness said she won't be
 at the church for a while.

292
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:32,190
She asked me to say hello.

293
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Listen, you...

294
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,060
Even if you're a friend
of the holy maiden,

295
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:39,840
I'll never accept someone
 who just tagged along with her

296
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,690
and acts so high and mighty all the time!

297
00:17:42,330 --> 00:17:44,750
Ignorance is a road to ruin.

298
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:44,160
HEH...

299
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:47,410
Once the private school opens, 
do attend, Selio-san.

300
00:17:47,410 --> 00:17:50,950
What?! Did you just make fun of me?!

301
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,360
Aresh-sama will return in seven 
days at the very latest.

302
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:58,800
I should do all I can in that time.

303
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:05,100
So you're the rumored otherworlder?
 I've heard about you.

304
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,060
He's taking a blatantly hostile attitude
with a representative from the palace.

305
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,440
Hard not to see the defiance in his heart.

306
00:18:14,140 --> 00:18:17,560
I am Mateus, the royal capital's bishop.

307
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,440
This is Cipriano, the one in 
charge of the church's finances.

308
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,590
Nice to meet you.

309
00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:25,030
Likewise.

310
00:18:25,030 --> 00:18:29,960
I'm very sorry the income 
and expenses report is late.

311
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,140
In truth, we were very busy supporting 
the summoning of the holy maiden and...

312
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:37,080
This man seems friendly.

313
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,460
He lost the report and, because he was 
busy, couldn't meet the deadline.

314
00:18:43,250 --> 00:18:44,440
I see.

315
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,200
However, the deadline is the deadline.

316
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,910
Now you've suddenly asked us
to care for the holy maiden, too.

317
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:53,230
I believe your side is also to blame
 for our hectic schedule.

318
00:18:53,530 --> 00:18:55,230
No, Your Excellency.

319
00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:59,510
We already knew Her Holiness
would be coming to the church.

320
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:02,230
The delay was entirely my fault.

321
00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:06,540
So, are you still in the process
of preparing the report?

322
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:09,560
Yes. I'm very sorry.

323
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,070
In that case, I will continue 
commuting here for a while longer.

324
00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:16,620
We are planning to open a cram school 
in the name of the holy maiden,

325
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:18,000
so this works out perfectly.

326
00:19:18,330 --> 00:19:19,920
Cram school?

327
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,810
Yes.

328
00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:24,100
It will be a place to teach 
simple subjects to children

329
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,890
who cannot normally attend school 
due to their circumstances.

330
00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:28,220
That's a wonderful idea!

331
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:30,890
As expected of the holy maiden 
and Abran's disciple!

332
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,520
In this fashion, we hope to increase 
donations and elevate the church.

333
00:19:37,930 --> 00:19:39,500
A favorable reaction.

334
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:41,770
People who are easy to read
 are easy to handle.

335
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:46,960
I knew there was no mistake 
when Abran chose you!

336
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,750
Please allow me to assist you, Disciple!

337
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:52,800
People like him are convenient 
at times like these.

338
00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:56,580
And so the days passed.

339
00:19:59,260 --> 00:20:01,760
In the afternoon of the seventh
day since the expedition,

340
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,940
the church suddenly grew lively.

341
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,300
Her Holiness has successfully 
purified the miasma!

342
00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:14,310
Huh?

343
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,700
Aresh-sama hasn't returned yet?

344
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:18,560
That's right.

345
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:22,100
It seems the purification was 
completed without incident,

346
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:25,900
but a herd of ferocious beasts was 
spotted in the mountains nearby,

347
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:31,040
so instead of returning home, 
he immediately went to subjugate them.

348
00:20:32,830 --> 00:20:35,230
I see...

349
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,430
Kondu-sama.

350
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,000
I received this from a returning
 member of the expedition.

351
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:44,910
It's from Aresh-sama.

352
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:53,930
"Dear Seiichirou."

353
00:20:54,430 --> 00:20:56,400
"I'm sure you've already heard,

354
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,900
but I have decided to remain in the 
area to subjugate magic beasts..."

355
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,730
Please take good care of 
yourself while I am away.

356
00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:08,900
Don't work too hard, 
and get plenty of rest.

357
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,390
Even in letters...

358
00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:16,040
But thank goodness.

359
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,810
It wasn't bad news.

360
00:21:23,890 --> 00:21:27,430
I hope you fall to slumber with my soul.

361
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,420
His soul? What an odd thing to say...

362
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:34,680
Excuse me, Milan-san.

363
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,470
Yes?

364
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,350
Do you know what this sentence means?

365
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,330
Oh, my!

366
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:45,550
Milord is so passionate!

367
00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:46,200
Huh?

368
00:21:46,540 --> 00:21:51,050
For a knight, his soul is an 
expression for his feelings.

369
00:21:51,470 --> 00:21:53,450
In other words...

370
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:58,690
"I hope you fall asleep 
thinking of me by your side."

371
00:23:35,090 --> 00:23:40,170
