Reincarnated as a Sword (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

1
After absorbing the crystal
from the B-ranked Greater Demon
in the dungeon,
Fran and I leveled up
and gained a rare skill.
We basked in the victory
of conquering our first dungeon.
But…
You there, little girl…
You're lying!
Who is this guy?
This guy…
I didn't sense his presence
behind the door at all.
Who is he?
Who are you?
What?
You do not know who I am, little girl?
Good grief.
This is why I cannot stand the lowly.
Behold.
My name is August Allsand.
I am the Vice Captain
of the Alessa Knights.
The knights'…
August, the vice captain of the knights,
is a nobleman
and has a thing against adventurers,
so he refuses to send any knights
to assist in the subjugation.
Is he the guy Nell told us about?
"If only he could just drop dead."
Did you say something?
Nothing.
Crush.
My Unique Skill, Truth of Falsehood,
allows me to see through all deceits.
Unique skill?
Do you understand?
Lying will not work on me.
EPISODE 7: THE VICE CAPTAIN
OF THE KNIGHTS IS ANNOYING
You mean to say that she is lying?
That little girl said
the crystal had disappeared.
That's a lie.
No. That wasn't a lie.
I'm not lying. It did disappear.
There you go again.
Something's strange…
Appraisal!
AUGUST ALLSAND
Let's see. Level 30.
His stats are awfully low for his level.
He is a knight,
but his Sword Art is only Level 1.
That's kind of weak.
EQUIPMENT: PRESENCE-ELIMINATING RING
And we couldn't detect his presence
because of his ring.
And his Unique Skill…
What sort of skill is Truth of Falsehood,
Ms. Announcer?
Truth of Falsehood.
A skill that allows the user
to see through others' lies
and make their own lies
more convincing and harder to discern.
I see.
No, you're mistaken! I only picked it up!
You're lying.
I possess the skill to discern lies.
This girl is a thief!
He goes around telling others
that he has this skill.
Please! I'm telling the truth!
Then he accuses and convicts others
as he wills.
This guy must've been abusing his skill.
Now, Guild Master,
hand over this little girl to the knights.
I refuse.
What?
How dare she blatantly lie
to a noble such as myself?
Such a crime cannot go unpunished!
Well, I must warn you…
that she is not someone you can handle.
She is an adventurer
who soloed the Greater Demon.
Well, in that case,
the knights will take the Greater Demon's
loot and crystal as compensation.
We will leave it at that.
Why would I allow that?
The materials have been officially
turned over to the guild.
Even if she holds the crystal,
it would be rightfully hers.
After all, the knights refused
to participate in the subjugation.
That gives you no right
to claim any of the gains.
Well-said, Guild Master!
Now, listen here. You couldn't be certain
of the situation in the dungeon.
Under such circumstances, we couldn't
possibly allow our noble knights
to risk their lives
and charge in there recklessly.
That sort of thing should be left…
to the lowly adventurers.
The adventurers made sacrifices
and put their lives on the line
to resolve this matter.
Please do not belittle or insult them.
On top of that,
I don't believe there's a reason
Captain Urus would turn us down.
Unless you had a hand in the matter?
Of course not!
Then you wouldn't mind if I verified
this matter with Captain Urus.
You… Do you intend
to oppose not only the knights
but also my father, Count Orumes?
I would prefer not to have matters
come to that, if possible.
Looks like there's quite a power struggle
between the guild and the knights.
Fran?
Here, I'll give this to you two,
so please stop arguing.
Finally going to hand over
the Demon's loot, are you--
Goblin horns…
Do you take me for a fool?
Get those dirty things away from me!
You! What on earth did you teach her?
-How dare she insult me so!
-That was quite the provocation, Fran.
Teacher…
What? Fran?
I won't forgive him…
So you were serious!
Can I kill him?
No! Hold your horses! Calm down, Fran!
If you kill a noble
in the guild master's office,
your name will go down in history.
Please refrain from doing so!
Oh, right.
That guy seems annoying.
Let's try out that new skill.
Together then.
What's with you?
-Skill Taker.
-Skill Taker.
Teacher has successfully taken
a unique skill, Truth of Falsehood 5.
Fran has successfully
taken the skill, Court Etiquette 4.
That's a 100% success rate for you!
"I am 100 years old."
Can you tell
if I'm lying or telling the truth?
What's with this all of a sudden?
I can easily…
Answer me.
You're obviously…
Answer me.
Shut up!
Wh-What's going on?
Can you not tell?
I'm not feeling well today,
so I shall be returning now!
But I'll be back! Just you wait!
Pardon the intrusion.
Nell!
Fran, you're back.
I apologize for that.
That imbecile bought his position
with money.
He is a foul man.
His level is fairly high,
but it's a common thing for nobles
to hire parties to fight
high-ranked monsters for them,
and they simply leech experience
and increase their levels that way.
Is that what they call power-leveling?
I guess there are times
when levels don't matter.
To think that man is
the son of Count Orumes,
from a major noble family
that governs the town.
So that's why even the guild master
is hesitant to confront him.
Miss Fran, he might hold a grudge
against you for what happened.
You must be careful.
I'll be fine.
That's all I have to say.
No matter what,
the guild is thankful for your assistance.
Nell, is everything prepared?
Yes. Everything is ready.
Miss Fran, please drop by the counter
to rank up before you leave.
Am I going to be rank E now?
No, you'll be promoted straight to rank D.
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
You subjugated a B-rank monster
that could threaten a city's safety.
So I put in a request
for you to be ranked up to C,
but that was too big of a jump.
It wasn't approved by the other factions.
Well, Fran just became
an adventurer not long ago.
That's understandable.
Got it.
Don't forget to collect
your reward and payment.
We've included a bonus for you too.
Really?
I'm so happy to hear that!
SKILL: COURT ETIQUETTE
ACTIVATED
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Fran, you're so cute!
I didn't know that
she had such refined manners.
If you use a stolen skill too much,
it'll rouse suspicion.
But I've always wanted to do that.
Never mind.
I was worried you would only
mature physically but not mentally.
I guess I can rest assured now.
Physically but not mentally?
For real?
Amazing!
Congratulations on reaching rank D, Fran!
And here you go. This is your reward.
Thank you, Nell.
That's quite a hefty sum.
You were amazing, little girl.
You're already rank D.
Mr. Dwarf.
The name's Elevent.
Feel free to look for me
if you ever need a member for your party.
You've got some moves.
You even know Midair Jump!
I heard you took down
a Greater Demon. Is that true?
You saved me during the battle.
Have a juice on me.
We'll pay for your drinks too.
Have a chat with us!
Too close!
Stay away from her, you middle-aged men!
Well… Fran seems to be in a good mood.
Fran, you got a big bonus.
Maybe you should treat everyone.
They're our allies
who fought together with us after all.
Drink up, everyone!
Drinks are on me tonight!
How generous of you!
You're loaded, little girl.
No, I'm not.
Goodness, those guys.
Were they trying
to drink up the entire pub's supply?
If Fran had done as I said and retreated,
the town would probably not be alight now…
Fran is truly amazing.
Teacher… Curry… You promised…
That's right. We made a promise.
All right.
We'll have curry tomorrow, Fran.
What's this?
Who are they?
What are they saying?
Do they want me to touch it?
Is that… me?
Teacher…
Teacher!
What's the matter, Teacher?
No, it's nothing.
What was that?
A dream?
Me, a sword who doesn't even
need sleep, had a dream?
Curry!
Today, we'll be using a bunch of spices
and ingredients we bought from Rufus's
to make hearty camp food!
To be more precise,
food that Fran can make and store.
Cooked food won't spoil once it's placed
into the dimensional storage,
and Fran will be able to get
a warm meal whenever she needs one.
I'm ready, Teacher!
Fran looks good in everything!
We probably spent about 100,000 gold
on spices, ingredients, and cookware.
But for Fran, it's all worth it!
Now, time to cook!
First, prepare 30kg of minced Rock Bison
and Ramming Python meat.
Meat!
Now then, Master Chef Fran.
Yes!
Give the meat a thorough massage.
Understood!
Then use Aura Blade
to chop up all the onions
and stir-fry them!
Fran!
Teacher!
-Combine!
-Combine!
COOLED DOWN
And bread crumbs!
With spices!
-It's all in this!
-It's all in this!
-Shape…
-Shape…
Then fry all the patties!
Meat!
The demi-glace is ready too.
Hamburg patties, come on!
Slather them generously in the sauce…
and my original
demi-glace hamburger steak is complete!
It looks so yummy!
Into the dimensional storage, they go.
At least let me have one!
Now then, Fran,
let's prepare the main dish.
The main dish?
It's the long-awaited curry!
There it is! Curry!
Cut the carefully selected
root vegetables into large chunks.
As promised, I bought plenty of meat.
Using a blend of spices will make the dish
more flavorful and aromatic too.
Using milk made from a coconut-like fruit
will give the curry a mild touch.
The curry smells wonderful!
Smells appetizing, doesn't it?
This is the power of spice!
The rice is perfectly cooked as well.
The dish is complete.
So this is…
My original super deluxe curry,
medium spicy!
So this is curry…
I've prepared three types of curry.
Mild, medium spicy, and extra spicy.
Each of them is prepared with
different meats, vegetables, and spices.
I'm digging in.
What is this?
It's super delicious!
Good, isn't it?
Finished!
Teacher…
Are you satisfied?
I was born for curry.
You like it that much?
Well, eating is the joy of living.
I'll make curry for you anytime you want.
We'll put the leftovers
inside the dimensional storage.
I get to eat curry anytime I want!
A week passed
after the goblin subjugation.
While waiting for Garrus
to complete the armor,
we took on some quests, including
finding rare potatoes in the mountains…
This might be good with curry!
Delivering letters to nobles
in exchange for premium pork…
I want to make King Pork Curry!
We also took on subjugation quests
to get more crystal EXP.
Dimensional storage!
Fish might go well with curry too!
Well done!
Ingredients acquired.
Teacher…
Yes?
The fish and the swamp water
didn't get into the curry, right?
Not even a single drop. Don't worry.
Curry!
All right.
Well, since I've taken them out,
would you like to try
the mild and extra spicy ones too?
First, the extra spicy curry.
The combination of the pungent spice,
fried root vegetables,
the savoriness of the meat,
and the mild sweetness of fat…
It's a curry with an adult flavor profile.
It's spicy but delicious.
Next, the mild curry.
The milk gives it a mild flavor,
but it's slightly sweet from the fruit,
giving the meat an even richer taste.
Satisfaction guaranteed!
It's mild and tender!
Now then, Fran, which tastes the best?
-All of them taste wonderful!
-All of them taste wonderful!
She is completely captivated by curry.
But while we were immersed
in the world of gourmet food,
things have been less peaceful in Alessa…
We only got seven crystal EXP this week.
I want to explore another dungeon.
Indeed.
-We won't level up at this rate.
-All clear.
Fran!
Oh, it's the gatekeeper.
We've become familiar with the guard here.
Say, Fran, do you know Viscount Allsand?
Ham sandwich…
No. He means the noble
we met in the guild master's office.
I see. The pathetic vice captain.
How blunt!
Excuse her.
Well, for some reason,
that guy has been looking for you.
From what I heard,
he handled himself poorly before royalty
and angered his father, Count Orumes.
It seems that he has been
driven to desperation.
I don't know
how you got involved with him,
but that guy is bad news.
Who knows what he might do?
Do be careful.
Got it.
Thank you.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
He insulted royalty?
It might be because
we took his skills from him.
But he targeted us first,
so he had it coming.
Fran, don't look back.
We're being followed.
It would be easy to lose them,
but that wouldn't get rid of them
for good.
-Let's lure them somewhere else.
-Okay.
Two?
Yes.
Can I help you?
You…
You put a curse on me, didn't you?
You wretched Beastkin!
An undead?
Appraisal!
He is that pathetic vice captain.
Well, he seems human still…
You…
It's all your fault!
My life is ruined!
You'll pay for this!
Who are you?
What? You didn't recognize him, Fran?
What? Did you forget about me?
I don't think we've met before.
It can't be… Really?
Oh, I got the wrong person…
Don't lie! There's no way
I mistook you for someone else!
But I don't recall meeting you at all.
Really?
Yes. Really.
But I remember
that girl carried a huge sword…
Wait! That's the sword!
You are that filthy brat!
He found out after all.
It's all because of you
that I'm in this mess!
I won't forgive you!
Well, it's not as if we care.
How dare you glare at me?
You are the lowest of the low.
A dirty Black Cat.
Oh, I hit a nerve, did I?
Gyuran!
A little Black Cat?
Leave her to me.
We have a way of dealing with them.
Shall I beat her up and sell her?
Chop her up as feed for the hunting dogs?
Or skin her
and throw her into the lavatory?
That's a good idea.
A Blue Cat!
Blue Cat?
Fran, what's the matter?
Blue Cats are the enemies of Black Cats!
It's my first time seeing Fran like this…
