Original subtitles

I spent two entire years in a room at the Blue Crystals guild hall.

The last time I left that building was two years ago.

You didn't set one foot outside in two years?

Th-That's right!

I can't fight anymore.

Not since that day two years ago

when I failed a quest for the first time and nearly died.

Just thinking I'm about to fight makes my breath short and my hands shake.

I can't even hold a sword anymore.

You wouldn't understand, Rein!

Then why did you come?

Sh-Shut up!

If you keep talking, I'll kill you!

But we're supposed to kill a dragon.

Seriously, shut up!

There's a pretty bird.

Huh?

That's a dragon!

The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life

It's coming. Rein, run—

Wh-What are you doing?!

You confirmed it yourself.

These clothes are enchanted.

A little enchantment won't protect you from a drag—

It's okay.

Just stay behind me.

Dash Dash

Let's go!

Look, there's a pretty bird.

I can't trust you!

Calm down, Lily. Dragons aren't scary.

You're way scarier than a dragon!

You're a madman!

It went away.

It'll come right back.

Anyway, what did you do just now?

I blocked it with my clothes.

I'm telling you, they're incredible armor.

I'll handle the attacking, too.

I'll hit that dragon with this sword.

It's so dinky.

Don't be scared.

I'll defeat the dragon!

Huh?

I still can't hold a sword in this situation.

I could easily defeat that dragon if I weren't afraid.

Sorry for making you anxious, Lily.

I'll block its flames with my armor, and I'll keep attacking until I hit it.

Seriously?

You're a clueless amateur. What are you showing off for?

I'm... I'm better than this!

I should be able to do anything!

Lily?

It'll keep dodging you from this distance!

Let it get closer!

Don't rush! Be patient and wait!

O-Okay.

If you don't get it this time, it's over!

This is the last time you'll block its attack with those clothes!

Otherwise, we'll lose!

Okay. I don't really get it, but if you say so, I believe you.

Now!

That was crazy.

You're the reason we won, Lily.

Thanks.

Uh, you're welcome.

I defeated a dragon with this sword.

I really can fight.

It broke.

Enhancing its attack doesn't enhance its durability.

Whoa! My clothes, too!

When you said that was the last time I'd block its flames with my clothes—

Stay away!

Why'd you go back to sleep?!

Lily.

What I'm about to say is just me talking nonsense in my sleep.

You said the Blue Crystals would be criticized if I died

trying to slay the dragon by myself.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

If you, an S-rank adventurer, came with me, and we both died,

people would assume the dragon was just really strong.

Then the Blue Crystals would be protected from criticism.

Since you can't fight right now,

you can only be useful by throwing your life away.

I think that was your plan.

But the Blue Crystals wouldn't want you to do that.

You throwing your life away would make them sadder than being criticized.

I was wondering what you'd say.

It really was just nonsense.

Really?

Th-The Blue Crystals took me in when I was worthless and unable to fight,

so today, I...

I wanted to do something for them.

I'm sorry.

I know.

I swear I'll be able to fight again someday,

so don't tell anyone about today.

Okay, sure.

Your boobs and thighs are so soft! Best ever!

I didn't let you touch my breasts!

Ow! Your fists are hard!

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

You jerk! Jerk! Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!

Lily, I can enchant my sword and armor,

but I have no combat experience.

So will you adventure with me?

I need you right now.

I'm looking forward to it, Rein.

Well, well...

I didn't need to keep an eye on them.

Time to go.

Nice! I got a whole 700 points from that mid-level dragon!

So, what should we do with its body?

Let a dissector handle it.

A dissector!

Then let's head back and—

We can't.

What?! Why not, Lily?!

Night will fall before we get back.

C'mon, c'mon, Lily!

I brought what we need, so let's camp out somewhere.

C'mon, Lily! Lily, Lily!

Look at it burn!

Why is he having so much fun?

Lily, I'm happy I got to be an adventurer.

It's so much fun.

I see. So that's why.

Why what?

Nothing.

Lily?

Be on your guard.

Four—no, six people are coming.

Look.

That's a nice spyglass.

What are you looking at? Hurry up!

Those are... Beast's Fangs adventurers.

What? This'll be a pain.

But they weren't around when I was kicked out.

They might think I'm still a member.

Really? In that case, let's pretend you are.

No way! I'm a member of the Blue Crystals now!

But if you tell them

you dispelled the enchantments on their gear when you were kicked out,

we'll just get into a fight.

Yeah, but...

L-Lily?!

Why are you getting undressed?!

They'll know I'm an adventurer if I'm dressed like this.

I'm going to pretend I'm a regular city girl.

So you brought a disguise?

What? These are my regular clothes.

Wow, they're so ugly!

Hey, Rein. It's been a while.

What brings you here?

The third anniversary of my dad's death.

My mom keeps bugging me to visit home,

but whenever I do, she won't shut up about marriage and grandkids.

What are you talking about?

And you... You're not Lily Flambert, are you?

No, though people say I look like her.

Honestly, I'm sick of hearing it.

Seriously, that Lily Flambert makes me want to puke!

Yeah?

Lily and I were classmates. She's attending the service with me.

Your name is Lily, too?

Y-Yeah, it is! That's why she pisses me off so much!

That Lily may be an adventurer, but I'm just a regular city girl.

I guess Lily Flambert wouldn't be hanging around here.

Yeah.

These days, I hear she trembles under the covers and pisses herself every day.

H-Hey!

Don't worry about me.

But...

Rein.

Do you know these guys?

No.

We ran into these adventurers from some guild while questing.

There were three more of them, but they pressed their luck,

so they died while learning their lesson. Right?

Yes, sir...

Wh-What do you mean, they died?

They look terrified. Why don't you release them?

I can't yet. Right?

I can't take it anymore!

I knew it.

My bow's less powerful.

By quite a bit, too.

It's not just me. Their equipment is weaker, too.

That's why we failed our quest.

Well, screw this!

I'm glad we ran into you, Rein.

Could you enchant our weapons some more?

I... I can't—

For some reason, Rein can't enchant anything right now.

What?

Then you're useless.

Why are you even alive?

That's enough! I—

Rein!

You can't enchant their gear,

but we can at least make up for it by burying the bodies.

If we leave them here, the smell of blood will attract beasts.

Smart girl. Need me to bury something in you, too?

No, thank you.

I like her.

You should be more like Lily the city girl.

Sorry, Lily.

For what?

Since I always worked at the guild hall,

I didn't know they got up to that stuff out here.

I dragged you into my business again.

I'm pathetic.

It's not your fault.

Really?

Yeah. I was a shut-in for two years.

You know way more than I do.

Yeah, for real.

Wait, sorry! I was a shut-in for three—no, five years!

What are you lying for? Are you trying to make me mad?

That man looks pretty skilled.

Yeah. Cornelius's gang is one of the Beast's Fangs' top three parties.

Even if we beat them in a fight, there'd be consequences.

Consequences?

War between the Beast's Fangs and the Blue Crystals.

We'd never win that fight.

We have to put up with this for the sake of our fellow guild members.

Lily... I guess being an adventurer isn't all fun, huh?

Between the lying and putting up with crap, it's surprisingly tough.

Hey, I brought that stuff! What do you think you're doing?!

What do you mean? We found it lying around.

Rein.

Aren't you glad you joined the Blue Crystals?

Yeah.

That hurt! What was that for?

Rein, we're taking your girl.

Wh-What?!

You couldn't enchant our gear,

but we'll forgive you if you hand over the girl.

Not a bad deal, right?

Make the best choice for your guild and friends.

My friends...

In that case, the choice is obvious.

You can't have Lily!

What's wrong, Rein?

Roll

That hurt! Why did you drop me?!

Sorry. My arms got tired and gave out.

You're heavier than I thought!

Your arms are just scrawny!

Lily, I can't hand you over just because they told me to.

Your guild watched over you while you were a shut-in, right?

If anything happened to you,

they'd try to help you no matter the benefit or cost.

Once Cornelius makes a decision, he can't be swayed.

And I finally got my wish of becoming an adventurer.

I don't want to lie. I want to be honest.

You're still clinging to that?

Hey, Rein!

Don't bother running! You can't outrun my arrows!

I have something to tell you!

I'm not a member of the Beast's Fangs anymore!

And I dispelled the enchantments on your weapons!

You did what?

You mean you're the reason we failed our quest?

Who do you think we are?

We'll teach you a lesson!

Rein...

It's okay. I've got a special weapon.

These.

Pebbles?

Quit screwing around!

That's never gonna work!

The pebbles he threw...

...exploded?!

They didn't explode!

I just enchanted some rocks! That's all!

Whatever.

We just have to dodge them.

Oh, did you step on a pebble I threw?

They're not just deadly when thrown. They hurt like caltrops when stepped on.

They're not ordinary rocks anymore.

Rocks!

As evident from rock-throwing,

rocks are the cheapest and most savage of all weapons across all nations.

Typically, rocks must be of a certain size to inflict damage,

but with Rein's enchantments,

even a useless pebble can be turned into a weapon.

I don't believe it.

Your enchantments are this powerful?!

I've still got all these enchanted rocks, too!

If you come at me, I'll start throwing them, so shut up and go!

They're heading straight home.

I should retrieve my bonus points from the rocks!

They crumbled.

Looks like you'll need durable weapons.

Durable weapons, huh?

I doubt weapons like that will be easy to find.

But this is a good problem to have.

Worrying about what weapon I'll use feels like an adventurer's problem.

I need to find one soon.

I know a place...

where we might find a sword that can endure your enchantments.

What?

What are you talking about?

You gotta believe us, Guildmaster!

It was Rein.

Rein made us fail our quest.

Him? I find that hard to believe.

Guildmaster.

I appraised their gear, and it's true.

All their bonus points have been reduced to zero.

I can't believe he could actually dispel his enchantments.

Why are you just standing there?

Go find Rein!

If he's in a guild, find them, too!

Yes, ma'am!

Guildmaster.

What, Glenda?

In this business, guilds live and die by their reputations.

We have to make an example of him

and show everyone what happens to adventurers who defy the Beast's Fangs.

Well, Lily? How was your first quest in two years?

Not bad.

Yeah? It was awesome, huh?

I didn't say that! What's wrong with your hearing?!

I heard your inner thoughts.

I didn't think that, either!

What's wrong with you? You're so annoying!

Lily.

It's been a while.

I'm glad you seem to be having fun.

M-Margaret...

Lily

talking about meee?! Is she... She said "Rein"!
