The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic (2024) s01e04 Episode Script

1
The Demon Lord's Army
will make its move soon.
Does that mean that war will break out?
Yes.
You will heal the injured
on the front lines with me.
In other words, you're
part of the advance guard.
A-advance guard? Me?
But what about Tong and the others?
And weren't there other healers, too?
Yeah, we have two more healers,
but they have different roles.
The right man for the job.
B-but to do what you do?
Well, we do still have
a little bit of time.
Steel yourself by then.
Will I be able to do that?
(The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic)
The walls that tower over you
are just so tall and thick.
They're not there to overwhelm you.
They're there for you to overcome.
That's what I believe.
For thousands of nights
and tens of thousands of mornings,
I can keep trying
without losing my way.
As long as I can arrive
at the final chapter,
it's okay even if
I'm scarred.
Stand! Up! Again!
Over and over!
Don't! Look! Back!
Only towards the future.
Only towards the future.
(#4 Usato, Rescue Squad Member!)
How is the Llinger Kingdom
invasion coming along?
It is all going according to plan.
All our units are preparing for battle.
We will soon be able to advance.
Good.
I leave you in command.
It might have been a close battle, but
they did manage to repel us before.
I don't expect you to fight to the death,
but you will give it your all, won't you?
That is a foregone conclusion.
What a boring response, Amila.
Whatever. You're dismissed.
Understood.
Oh? Was the big-shot Third
Army commander nervous
during a private audience
with the Demon Lord?
You should be working instead
of teasing me, Monster Doctor.
Quit it with that weird nickname.
Hyriluk already has a fine name!
And thanks for your concern, but
my work is going swimmingly.
The newest demon-modified
monster prototype is complete!
Wanna see?
Whatd'ya think?
Potent venom, a giant body,
and razor-sharp fangs!
Introducing Demon-Modified
Monster Prototype 72, Baljinak!
It has the same name as Prototype 71
Didn't it go missing during the
last invasion of the Llinger Kingdom?
It was beaten by some enemy
army commander called Siglis
and ran off somewhere.
Worry not! Prototype 72 is even stronger!
I hope so.
There's an even bigger threat than
Siglis lurking in the Llinger Kingdom.
Are you talking about the group
known as "The Kidnappers"?
I've heard the rumors.
That's right.
They don't fight despite
they're on the battlefield.
All they do is carry the wounded
back to the rear as fast as they can.
So, they minimize casualties?
That's not all. Their boss is a healer.
She scurries about the front lines
and heals injuries on the spot.
She's also an excellent fighter.
Annoyingly so.
That woman and my master go way back.
One day, I will kill her
with my own hands.
I see.
But in the next invasion,
you're in command.
No fighting for you.
I'm well aware.
I'll leave the front lines to that one.
The immortal dark magic user.
The Black Knight or whatever.
Nothing beats being in a bed!
I've even missed Tong's snores!
Hey! You awake?
It's breakfast time!
Found these in the dining room.
I think these are fruits
Man, that looks good!
I'll have one, too!
These taste better than they look!
You greedy little pig!
Traitor! I haven't forgiven you for
taking advantage of my innocence!
So cute
No, no, no!
I won't be fooled again!
No matter how cute you are!
All right! All right!
You can have some too!
I know, I know. You're cute, too.
Here you go, Blurin.
Blurin?
Rose-san!
Is that his name?
That's right.
It's a contraction of "Blue Grizzly."
Pretty ingenious, if I do say so myself.
You agree, right? Blurin?
B-Blurin-san? That's my hand you've
got in your mouth it kinda hurts.
Name aside, I've informed
Lloyd-sama about that bear.
He's now property of the Rescue Squad.
P-property?
Yes, property.
He can stay here, but he'll
have to pull his own weight.
What do you expect him to do?
Why am I carrying him?
Aren't we running together?
This is practice for the real thing.
Think of that bear as someone
who's in need of rescue.
Someone who's in need of rescue?
Someone who's been injured.
Quit yapping and start running!
Y-yes ma'am! Here we go, Blurin!
All said and done, it's just
more weight than usual.
This is easy! All I have to
do is to ration my magic.
Pick up the pace! That
guy's not gonna make it!
I can't help it! He's heavy!
Comin' through!
What the hell are you guys doing?!
Big Sis didn't tell ya?
We're simulatin' battlefield conditions!
Mind your own business!
The others are hidin', too!
Best watch yer back!
Damn it!
(One Hour Later)
What's this?! It stinks!
My special stinky water!
Why make something like that?!
(Three Hours Later)
(Four Hours Later)
Wait, I feel kinda
(Four Hours Later)
You, too?!
That's weird
What's going on?!
Thanks!
I should be able to last for
half a day, no problem!
That's what your stamina's
like on the battlefield.
The human body also gets fatigued
from anxiety, fear, and frustration.
That's why you ran out of energy
much faster than normal.
Then, what can I
Get used to it.
Build up your mental fortitude
and your situational awareness.
Thank you.
Once you've replenished your magic,
go run through town and around the
castle perimeter in the afternoon.
While carrying Blurin?
Did you have to ask?
Hey, look at that.
A Blue Grizzly?!
That's crazy!
See, I knew this would happen.
Blurin is still a monster,
albeit a well-behaved one.
People are obviously going to make a fuss.
Wait, isn't that?
Oh, he's one of them.
What a relief.
What is it, Blurin?
Welcome!
How about some fresh fruits?
Sorry, I don't have any money.
What's this one called?
These are perles, our local specialty.
I have one more question,
if you don't mind.
I'm carrying a monster on my back,
but why is no one freaking out?
You're a member of the
Rescue Squad, aren't you?
Anyone can tell from that outfit.
Yeah, but
Speaking of the Rescue Squad,
we have some rugged men
running through here all the time.
It's going to take more
than that to frighten us.
I guess that's what happens when
you get used to those tough guys.
Thank you! I'll come and buy
some fruit next time.
Here, have this. As a token of friendship.
Really? Are you sure?
Isn't that nice, Blurin?
Come on! Where are your manners?!
Thanks once again!
See you!
Was that guy from the Rescue Squad?
Looks like it.
What about him, Amako?
No, it's nothing.
If we're going to the castle perimeter,
might as well say hi to Kazuki and senpai.
What do you think, Blurin?
Yeah, you said it. Let's go!
- I wonder if I can bring Blurin into the castle.
- Y-you there!
- I wonder if I can bring Blurin into the castle.
- Excuse me!
I wonder if I can bring Blurin into the castle.
- It's where the king is
- Wait!
- so they might refuse us entry.
- Hey!
Nah, Blurin is so cute,
- Nah, Blurin is so cute,
- R-Rescue Squad!
- we might be able to get in if
we say he's a big stuffed animal. - R-Rescue Squad!
Huh? Are you all right?
How's that?
Much better.
Sorry about all this.
It's nothing.
Actually were you trying
to get my attention?
Yup. I wanted to say hello to my junior.
I never yelled,
but I couldn't help myself.
Junior?
Huh? Didn't the captain tell you?
I'm Orga Fleur, one of the
Rescue Squad healers.
It's a pleasure.
I heard we got ourselves a new member.
To think he was summoned
together with the heroes.
It's true!
I've been training so hard everyday,
I've almost forgotten it all myself.
Usato-kun, it's amazing you're able to
keep up with the captain's training.
My sister and I weren't able to do it.
Sister?
The other healer?
She's five years younger than I am.
We run a clinic here in the castle town.
Using healing magic, we treat the people.
Wait but didn't you collapse just now?
Oh, that?
I'm not good at healing myself,
but I can heal others just fine.
There are all kinds of healers, huh?
There are, but we're all part of
the Rescue Squad just the same.
In times of crisis, we heed the
captain and heal the wounded.
Times of crisis
You will heal the injured
on the front lines with me.
In other words, you're
part of the advance guard.
What are your roles on the battlefield?
Let's see first, Tong and the others
retrieve the injured from the front lines.
Then, my sister and I treat them.
You could say that we're rear support.
To tell you the truth
I'm going to be on the
front lines with Rose.
You serious?!
I am.
Do you think I'll be
able to pull that off?
Someone like me?
The ones in most danger on the
front lines are the heroes and knights.
If they get injured, all
that awaits them is death.
But with healers
on the front lines as well,
they can be saved.
It's dangerous. And it's tough.
It's not a job that she'll entrust
to someone halfheartedly.
Not the captain.
Now then it's about time
I got back to the clinic.
Otherwise, my sister
is going to yell at me.
R-right. I'll continue with my training.
I'm glad I was able to
talk to you, Usato-kun.
Just one more thing?
What is it?
Don't hate Rose too much, okay?
She doesn't mince words.
And she's rather blunt, so
Don't worry.
I've never hated her.
Though, I do have a
few choice words for her.
See you later!
All right, until later.
So, you've finally found him. Rose-san.
There you are, onii-chan!
Wandering off by yourself?
Do you have a death wish?
Come on, I'm not that frail!
What's with that look?
More importantly, I met
someone really interesting.
Really? What kind of person?
You'll meet him, too. Eventually.
You'll like him. I'm sure of it.
Excuse me, I'd like to enter.
Can this kid enter, too?
Usato-dono of the Rescue Squad?
That Blue Grizzly can enter, no problem.
You can bring monsters
into the castle? Really?
Yes, really.
Rose-sama has signed
off on it. Please, go ahead.
Thank you!
They trust Rose way too much around here.
Get in there!
Yes, sir!
You! You're leaving yourself wide open!
Well, if it isn't Usato-kun!
Over here!
What's that fuzzy blue thing?
This kid? He's a Blue Grizzly cub.
Get this. I had to survive in a
forest filled with monsters,
and it was there that
Hey, are you listening, Inukami-senpai?
U-Usato-kun!
Can I pet him?
Sure. Go ahead, he won't bite.
Even if he does bite, I'll heal you.
That doesn't inspire confidence.
But I am a heroine,
so animals should
H-he doesn't do well with new
people, so don't feel too bad.
I don't feel bad at all!
The feeling of those paw pads took me
by surprise and got me all excited!
I see
Why don't you try calling his name?
Then, I'm sure he'll let you pet him.
By the way, his name is Blurin.
That's a pretty nice name!
Let's be friends, Blurin!
M-maybe he thinks you're a bad person
H-hey, Blurin! Let's leave it at that.
I guess this means
you're a bad person, too!
Looks like it.
Thinking about it, it certainly has
been a while since we last met.
It has, hasn't it?
Senpai, your hand!
Oh, this? It's nothing serious.
I just got a bit too serious
about sword fighting practice.
We need to treat that.
There, good as new.
That's amazing.
This is nothing.
Usato-kun, did you come
here today just to see me?
Yup! Both you and Kazuki.
Your honesty hurts.
Forget I said that.
Kazuki isn't here today.
He's probably left the kingdom by now.
To get some combat
experience fighting monsters.
He's with Siglis and the others.
Siglis-san. Is the Demon Lord's Army
really going to start invading soon?
It is.
Probably with a much stronger
formation than last time.
That is why we have both
you and Suzune-sama.
You heroes are sure to
boost our troops' morale.
We're sure to win!
We will indeed.
I'll give it my all, too.
Hung Wolves!
Kazuki-sama!
Roger!
I wonder if he'll be all right.
Well, it'll only be for a few days.
Once he comes back, it'll be my turn.
I can't wait.
You'll probably enjoy every minute of it.
I can just picture you now.
It wouldn't kill you to worry
about me a little, would it?
Oh, I'm so worried!
You didn't mean it!
All right, I'd better get going.
Good luck with your training.
Same to you!
See you!
Usato-kun. You don't
tiptoe around me anymore.
Have you noticed?
Oh, well. It's not like
you're mean or anything.
Kazuki's training.
Senpai's doing her best.
All because the battle
is fast approaching.
If they're going to fight,
I want to do something, too.
I don't want to be the only
one wallowing in safety.
In my previous world, I could only
wish to do the things I couldn't.
That's not who I am anymore!
Goodnight, Blurin.
Usato, it's you.
How's training?
Has your body gotten used to it?
Well a little.
But I'd like to train
a little more just in case.
I see. Then continue.
I will.
Hey, Rose-san.
About what you told me yesterday
About having to steel myself?
Yesterday, I almost died in
a fight with a snake monster.
Hearing about the Demon
Lord's Army right after that
got me pretty freaked out.
I thought
that I'd rather not join
the war if I didn't have to.
But today, I felt something
more strongly than that.
I will not fight.
Okay.
I will not kill any enemies, either.
Okay.
But I will save Kazuki
and Inukami-senpai and
everyone only I can save.
That's because I'm a member
of the Rescue Squad.
That's more than enough.
We pride ourselves on saving people.
Drag the self-sacrificing
back kicking and screaming.
Swoop in and save those
who are about to be killed.
Do everything you can to revive
those on the brink of death.
That is what we do.
Speak your ideals.
For that is what the
Rescue Squad is all about.
Yes, Captain!
At that moment
for the very first time
I felt like a true member
of the Rescue Squad.
Wake up.
We received a message
from Lloyd-sama yesterday.
You're wanted.
Why didn't you tell me yesterday?
He wants you to join
Hero Suzune's training.
Inukami-senpai's training?
Ready!
