By the Grace of the Gods (2020) s02e07 Episode Script

1
Mr. Ryoma.
I will soon be moving into the Academy's
dormitory in Imperial Capital.
Moving and living alone are new to me.
Although I didn't tell my father,
I actually do feel a little uneasy.
But your letters always cheer me up,
so I will be fine.
There will soon be
a festival in your town, right?
I hope you and your staff have fun.
Elia is moving.
I want to send her a housewarming gift.
But what should I send?
I remember Miss Carla saying
You could send clothes
if it's for someone you know well.
That's how you can wish them good luck
in the new chapter of their lives.
Or something like that.
But I don't know how to pick out clothes.
Besides, I don't know what's
in fashion right now.
What else can I send?
A bouquet.
Gift cards.
Gold coins No, that's not good.
Cleaner Slimes' deodorant.
Probably something she could actually use
It might be better if it's handmade.
Oh, I know!
Good.
Now I just have
to let it sit for a little while.
And my handmade soap is done!
It's not yet perfect, though.
If I adjust the amount of ingredients,
it should foam,
moisturize, and clean better.
I should also make it look nicer,
so that it will cheer Elia up.
Done!
Elia mentioned a festival in the letter.
I wonder what she meant.
Mr. Carme, can I talk to you for a minute?
What is it, manager?
I heard there will be
a festival in this town soon.
I thought you might
know something about it.
I haven't heard about any festivals.
Do you want me to look into it?
No, that's okay.
Thank you, though.
Someone who has been living
in this town long enough might know.
Right. Someone who grew up in this town.
Excuse me, Mr. Dolce.
Yes?
I want to ask you something.
The Founding Celebration is held
around this time of the year.
The Founding Celebration?
It's a festival to celebrate
the founding of this town.
How do you celebrate?
Touring performers will be coming
to town to perform.
And there will be stalls
along the main street.
Do all stores of the town set up stalls?
No.
Anyone can set up a stall upon request,
but it's not mandatory.
Okay
If my shop's staff
is willing to participate,
we could give it a try.
After the festival,
local residents come together
to clean the streets.
I see.
Our shop is thriving thanks to this town,
so I want to clean
with them at the very least.
Right.
Anyway, that's all I know.
I see. Thank you!
No problem.
Most of the shop's staff, including me,
is from out of town.
Is that so?
Yes.
I met Mr. Carme through Mr. Serge.
He's from a town called Louiam.
And Mr. Fay and Miss Lilyn
are from a country called Gilmar.
Miss Chelma used to work
at a hotel in another town.
Miss Jane, Miss Fina, and Miss Maria
came here to work from the same village.
It really helps to have someone like you
who has knowledge about this town.
I see
Manager.
What is it?
I just got a call from my sister in Lenaf.
From Miss Carla?
Is there something wrong
with the second shop?
Yes.
She said a bunch of their Cleaner Slimes
are starting to divide.
The Cleaner Slimes?
Yes.
Mr. Caulkin said there are too many
to make contracts with them all.
Okay, I'm on my way.
The Slimes seem happy
because they have more companions now.
I need to hurry.
Such a huge crowd!
Manager.
I heard that
the Cleaner Slimes multiplied.
Yes, please follow me.
Manager.
Unbelievable.
Do we still need to make contracts
with all these Slimes here?
Yes, all 75 of them.
They're dividing rapidly.
I need to make contracts fast.
Okay, it's done.
Nice to meet you, Cleaner Slimes.
I didn't expect you to actually
make contracts with all of them.
Do you have any idea
why the Slimes multiplied?
I already looked into that.
This is impressive!
You did all this in such a short time?
It's very well written, isn't it?
Lobelia and Tony helped with that, too.
I see.
The Slimes that
stored nutrients in their bodies
started producing too much
deodorant solution
So, we restricted their production
of deodorant solution.
That's when they started multiplying.
They need to use their stored nutrients
in order to stop multiplying.
I'm thinking of not restricting
their production of deodorant solution
and discarding excess solution
to prevent the same from happening again.
That seems to be the best way.
Let's do that.
From identifying the cause
to finding a way to cope with it,
they've got it all figured out.
I'm glad they came to work with us.
Then, I talked about the ecology of Slimes
with Mr. Caulkin and the others till dawn.
Before I go back,
I should go greet to Mr. Pioro.
What's that?
Ew, what's this smell?
Ryoma.
Good you're here.
Mr. Pioro.
What's going on here?
One of my young employees
got this weird thing called Shapaya.
It's fermented fish.
This here.
Gosh, it stinks.
Apparently, you can preserve it
for a long time
but it has such a pungent smell,
I can't take it anymore.
I guess it's similar to the dried
horse mackerel kusaya from Earth.
Ryoma, can't you do something
to get rid of this smell?
Any good ideas?
And he puts me on the spot again
Wait
Your new product
will drastically improve
our quality of life.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I have an idea.
Can I try something out?
Of course!
The smell is so strong
that the customers are avoiding my store.
Okay.
Come on out, Deodorant Slime.
What's that?
I've never seen a Slime like that.
This is a Deodorant Slime.
It produces an odor-absorbing liquid.
Is it different from the deodorant
solution you sell at your shop?
Yes.
That deodorant solution
can't deodorize the surrounding air.
But this Deodorant Slime can.
Go, Deodorant Slime!
The smell is completely gone!
The effect wears off in a day or so.
I'll leave you this bag of
odor-absorbing liquid.
Thanks, Ryoma.
How can I thank you?
Well, just let me know how long
the Slime's odor-absorbing effect lasted.
That's all?
Knowing the results of my odor-absorbing
experiment will make me more than happy.
You are a man of few desires.
Oh, at least take a bucket
of this Shapaya with you.
You mean this?
That's right!
If you're on a path full of monsters,
just open the lid
Gosh, it really stinks!
That'll drive away the monsters.
That's a good way of using it.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Have a safe trip home.
Thank you.
By the way, I'd like to say hello
to Miss Miyabi, too.
Is she home today?
I believe
Miyabi's sleeping in the carriage
on her way to the Imperial Capital.
She's already on her way?
You are going to the Academy, Miss Miyabi?
Yeah.
To get to know more people
as a future merchant.
If she'd left a bit later,
I would've made her take some Shapaya too.
I think Miss Miyabi
wouldn't have wanted to take it with her.
All right.
Mr. Pioro was right.
I got back safe thanks to the Shapaya.
Manager, you are back.
Yes.
The multiplication of Cleaner Slimes
is now under control.
That is so great.
Mr. Serge wants to meet with you.
I got it.
Should I go meet him at
Morgan Trading Company?
No, he said he would come here.
Okay, tell Mr. Serge
that he can come anytime.
Okay.
And I have one more thing to report.
What is it?
Miss Fina's village sent
us a thank you gift.
What?
Miss Jane is on break right now.
She'll explain it to you.
Sorry, manager.
Our parents sent these here.
It's Well
It's a bribe.
Excuse me?
I heard people send
these kinds of gifts from time to time.
In hopes of their children
to get treated well.
Apparently, that's what
some parents think.
I see.
They insisted on sending a gift
because you're all so kind to us.
These are bags of wheat and Semesa.
Semesa?
It's an agricultural product
from our village.
I see.
It smells so good.
I think it'll add a nice flavor to food.
It's probably something
similar to sesame on Earth.
I'm grateful to them but
Isn't it too much of a burden
on your parents?
That's okay.
In fact, these are
products that don't sell well.
Then, sending these really
must be a burden on them.
Maybe
Um
Tell your parents they don't
have to send presents like these anymore.
I won't change the way I treat you.
I know.
Sorry about that.
I've never been a parent,
so I can just imagine,
but they must be doing this
because they really care about you.
Manager
I will pay your parents the regular price
for these bags of wheat and Semesa.
I can't let you do that!
They sent them without your permission.
These can be used
in the shop as ingredients.
Don't worry about it.
And giving things away
just because they're not selling well
will only decrease the product's value.
In order to maintain
the value of wheat and Semesa,
I want to buy them at their regular price.
Then, at least buy them
at the lowest price possible.
How about I pay the prime cost
and delivery fee?
Is that okay with you?
That sounds good.
Thank you, manager.
Of course.
I'll talk to Mr. Pioro next time.
If the wheat and Semesa
are of good quality,
he might agree to buying them
directly from the village.
I'll start with a status report.
They were able to manufacture
a music box already?
Yes.
This is a sample.
But it's ready to start selling.
Now, they are making
stock for general sale.
We're expecting to start selling them
at the Founding Celebration.
At the Founding Celebration?
So you're going to set up a stall?
Yes.
The music used for the music box
was provided by Semroid Troupe.
They'll be playing at
the Founding Celebration as well.
Semroid Troupe?
Who's that?
It's a group of touring performers
led by bards.
The leader is young
but he's gaining popularity.
He's getting famous.
I'm looking forward
to seeing them perform.
Where will the performance be held?
Actually, I was thinking of holding it
in the vacant lot next to this shop.
Oh?
Right, they moved a while ago
and it's been vacant since.
So I was wondering if you would
let us use part of this shop
as a dressing room for the performers.
Right.
Using part of the shop
will be a bit difficult
but we have spare rooms
available at the dorm.
How about you use those?
That would be great.
Thank you.
Not at all.
You're always so kind to me,
so I'm glad I'll be able
to repay you a little.
It was a busy day today.
What do I do next?
That scream
Was it Miss Chelma?
Miss Chelma, what happened?
Manager
This smells so bad.
Everything in this barrel is rotten.
I'd forgotten about the Shapaya!
What is it?
Don't you smell it?
It's a very familiar smell.
Oh, this must be!
The smell of Semesa!
You recognized it?
This smell makes me hungry.
I know, right?
At first, it smelled so bad.
Really?
It smells really good now.
Actually
I used the Deodorant Slime's
odor-eliminating solution
to get rid of the Shapaya's smell.
It worked well and removed the smell but
This is good!
But it's still kind of
It tastes a bit strange.
And it still smells a little.
If we add flavor with herbs or something,
it might taste better.
Right
I have an idea.
Maybe we could use Semesa to add flavor.
So we made oil
out of the Semesa from your village
and used it to fry the Shapaya.
The aroma of the Semesa
hides the bad smell perfectly.
I want to have a try!
I'll go get everybody.
I'm so glad they like it.
Today's dinner was delicious too.
It's all thanks to the manager
and Miss Chelma.
I'm flattered.
What kind of food
do you eat in your hometown, Miss Lilyn?
Are you interested?
I'm starting to crave it since
I haven't eaten it in such a long time.
I'll cook next time.
It's nice to try food
from different places
like the Semesa and Shapaya we had today.
Hm
What is it, Mr. Carme?
We could set up a stall at the festival.
The Founding Celebration, you know?
We could serve local cuisine to the guests
who come to see the performance.
We do have a lot of staff
from out of town,
so we can make food from various places.
People always are generous
with their money at festivals.
And we might be able to strengthen
our relationship to the town's residents.
Setting up a stall and
making the townspeople happy
would be great for sure but
What do you guys think about that?
It will increase the
amount of off-the-job work,
so I don't want to force it on you.
I'll help.
Mr. Dolce!
This is a great shop.
Although I've only been here a short time,
I want to keep working here
for a long time.
So, I'm willing to help in any way I can.
It's fun and pleasant for me
to have a lot of people try my food.
I'll help too.
Miss Chelma
I'll also cook food from Gilmar.
That sounds fun.
By the way, can you use
the wheat from our village?
As long as we can preserve it
until the Founding Celebration,
I don't see why not.
Great!
Maybe it'll spread the word
on our village's wheat.
Do you think anyone
will ask where the wheat is from?
Maybe not.
But I am in.
Because it sounds fun.
Right?
Since we're doing it,
we have to prepare the decorations.
Right.
In that case, let's set up a stall
at the Founding Celebration.
-Yes!
-Yes!
Everyone's looking forward
to the Founding Celebration.
I hope it goes well.
No, I'm sure it will go well.
Let's do this!
