Ryoma and the Traveling Entertainer

1
It's done.
These are the things
I thought might sell well
at the Founding Celebration.
Wow, there are so many different dishes.
This is my first time seeing
dumplings made with Semesa.
How did you make these, Miss Chelma?
It's very easy. I'll show you later.
Thanks!
Are we selling all of those?
I asked her to make
everything that might sell well.
The members of the Semroid Troupe
are arriving tonight.
Let's treat them with these
at the welcome party tomorrow
and see how they like it.
We'll decide what to sell after that.
Okay, everybody.
Let's have fun
at the welcome party tomorrow.
-Yes.
-Yes.
I'm so glad that everyone looks happy.
Yeah, it's just that
Is there a problem?
Even if we narrow down the menu,
we might not have enough
people to run the stall.
You're right.
We need cooks and waitresses,
and perhaps more staff to lead
the customers to their tables.
I think we should consider
hiring some temporary staff.
Mr. Ryoma, sorry to bother you this late.
The leader of the Semroid Troupe is here.
Come in.
Nice to meet you,
Mr. Sage.
My name is Prenance Semroid.
I am the leader
of a troupe of touring performers.
It is my pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
You can call me by my name.
"Sage" is too grand a word for me.
You are so modest.
The music box.
It is you who created that little box
that plays such fine music, is it not?
I cannot imagine calling you
anything else than "Mr. Sage."
But,
if you insist,
I will call you Mr. Ryoma from now on.
Thank you.
No, I am the one
who should be thanking you.
With the music box,
my music is able to reach more people.
On top of that,
you provided us with dressing rooms.
Thank you so much.
The whole troupe should
have come here to greet you
but, alas, I am the only one here.
My apologies for that.
That's okay.
You must be tired from your trip.
It's already late.
You should get a good night's sleep.
That is very understanding of you.
We were on edge the whole way.
Did something happen?
Yes.
We came from the southern grassland.
We were told there were
Tunnel Ants in that area.
Tunnel Ants?
Are they dangerous?
No, not really.
But they are good at digging caves
and build large nests underground.
If a carriage passes over that nest,
the ground will cave in
and you'll be trapped.
Thank God it didn't happen to us.
I hope it won't affect the number of
visitors at the Founding Celebration.
The Adventurer Guild must
be working on it already.
Mr. Carme, I'll go to the guild tomorrow.
Okay.
I'll take care of
the preparations for the festival.
Not only are you smart,
but you are also very brave.
The Gods must really like you.
Mr. Ryoma.
Hello, Miss Paena.
Hello.
How can I help you?
I heard that there were
Tunnel Ants in the southern grassland.
You already heard?
Just a second.
These are the missions
regarding the Tunnel Ants.
Thank you.
Hunting the ants, finding their nests,
and excavating the anthills
Which one is the most urgent?
Let me see
We need more help finding the ant nests.
Not many people applied for this job
because it sounds insignificant.
I see.
I'll go find their nests then.
Thank you.
I want to find the Tunnel Ants' nests.
Will you help me?
Next
Sensory Sharing.
According to Miss Paena
Tunnel Ants leave the soil they dig out
outside of their nests.
Search the ground for traces of digging.
That should be where the nests are.
Traces of digging
There!
Is that?
Hey!
It's Ryoma!
You guys took on the mission as well?
We often come here to collect herbs,
so we want this area to be safe again.
I see.
Who is that?
Oh, right. That's Ryoma.
I told you about him before, right?
The guy who's great with Slimes?
That's one way to remember me.
Hi, my name is Ryoma Takebayashi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Finia.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Ruth.
And this is
I'm his sister Rumille.
We all live in the slums.
So we decided to work together.
I see.
Since you're carrying a Tunnel Ant's body,
did you take on the hunting mission?
Yes, because we want its exoskeleton.
The exoskeleton?
Someone from our slum
became an armorsmith's apprentice.
If we bring him the material,
he'll make us armors and shields
at a cheap price.
I want to use this opportunity
to get us all new armors.
But as you can see
It's hard to find the ants.
Well then, I'll take you to their nests.
What?
I'm on a mission to find their nests.
You'll take us?
We should help each other out, right?
Thank you, Ryoma.
Sure.
Where is the nest?
Hold on.
Time to work, everyone.
What are those?
Metal Slimes and Iron Slimes.
There are so many of them.
Stand back a little.
I need to locate the nests.
Get in a line.
Move forward slowly.
Can they find the nests like that?
Slimes are very sensitive to danger.
So
That's amazing.
It's your turn now.
Hunting is your mission, right?
I'll help if it gets dangerous.
Go get them.
Okay, let's go, guys!
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
It's no good if I interfere too much.
Rumille.
I know.
Take this!
We did it!
They did really well.
Oh, I should get to work as well.
Soil Needle!
Let's move on to the next nest.
Yeah. Thanks, Ryoma!
Done.
Ryoma!
What is it?
The sun's setting. We should go back now.
Did you get enough exoskeletons?
Yes, this should be enough.
We can't carry more, anyway.
Thank you so much for today, Ryoma.
Now we can make new armors for everyone.
You really helped us a lot.
Don't mention it.
You're the ones who hunted them.
But it was you who helped us
when it got dangerous.
And we couldn't have hunted so many ants
if you hadn't taken us to their nests.
Thank you so much.
With so many ants,
we'll get paid a lot of money.
We might have money to go
to the Founding Celebration.
No, we won't.
We are making armor
for five people, remember?
Let's hunt again tomorrow, then.
We can hunt as many as we did today.
Didn't we just say we could never have
hunted so many ants without Ryoma?
We can't do anything
if we don't know where the nests are.
Ryoma can come with us.
Stop it, Rumille.
Forget what she just said, Ryoma.
You must be busy tomorrow, right?
Yes, sorry.
We're setting up a stall
at the Founding Celebration, so
Oh, I have an idea.
What's taking him so long?
Mr. Carme.
You're
Who are these people?
We met on our missions today.
I asked them to help us with the stall.
Beck?
Mr. Dolce!
Mr. Dolce, do you know them?
Yes.
I know them from the slums.
I see.
Since they are acquaintances of
Mr. Ryoma and Mr. Dolce,
I guess it should be alright.
I'm Carme, the vice manager of this shop.
Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too.
-Nice to meet you too.
Mr. Carme.
I want to invite them to the party today.
Is that okay?
Yes, of course.
Are you sure?
We only just got here.
Don't worry.
We prepared enough food.
This party is for people who'll be working
with us at the Founding Celebration,
so enjoy yourselves.
We'll discuss the wages later.
Mr. Dolce.
Can you please take care of them?
Sure.
I'll introduce them to the others.
Thank you so much.
Well, Mr. Carme.
Yes, manager.
Everyone is waiting for you there.
I'm the manager of Bamboo Forest,
Ryoma Takebayashi.
Please allow me to have a few words.
Thank you so much for
coming to the party today.
Let's have fun working together
at the Founding Celebration.
Cheers!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
The food's ready.
Everyone, please enjoy.
-Enjoy!
-Enjoy!
This tastes great.
Mr. Ryoma, this party is really awesome.
Mr. Prenance.
How do you like the food?
Even better than I imagined.
My troupe is enjoying it too.
See?
Sorry about that. My niece is a foodie.
My name is Sordio.
My niece Maiya and I
are both sword dancers.
Sword dancers?
Yes, they dance with a sword in hand
and cut things.
Festivals can get messy.
If anything gets out of control,
ask them for help.
Thank you.
It's comforting to know
someone like that will be with us.
If anything happens,
you can come to me and Maiya anytime.
Are you talking about me, Uncle?
We are talking about protecting this shop.
Oh, okay.
Nice to meet you, manager.
The food is really delicious.
Don't eat and greet at the same time.
I'm glad you like our food.
But please don't get stuffed just yet.
We still have desserts.
Really?
He said to leave room for dessert.
Yeah, but I want to finish
this before dessert.
What is this?
Dumplings made with Semesa.
It's really good.
Yum!
It's so delicious.
I can't believe it.
There's more here.
How did you make this?
Ryoma, you really are amazing.
I didn't do all this by myself.
I've had a lot of help.
Nevertheless, you still are awesome.
You are very strong too.
You finished off the Tunnel Ant
in a split second.
How did you get so strong, Ryoma?
Why do you ask?
Well
Don't you ever get scared
when you're fighting?
Oh
That's why
You sound like a coward.
Sorry
But do you get scared?
Well
I guess I'm always very
focused when I'm fighting,
that's why I don't really get scared.
I see.
It's okay.
As long as you train hard
and gain more experience,
you'll get better at it soon.
There's no rush. Just keep doing it.
You're surrounded by great friends.
Ryoma is right.
You can rely on us.
Because we rely on you too.
Thanks.
I'm sorry for bringing people
here without notice.
It's okay. I'm the one who said
we didn't have enough people.
Thank you for finding
a solution so quickly.
It's unbelievable.
Our shop is getting bigger and bigger.
When I came to this town,
I never thought I would
be meeting so many people.
Yeah.
Me too.
Dear Miss Eliaria Jamil.
We held a party today
before the Founding Celebration
and so many came.
I realized once again that
I have so many around me
whom I can call friends.
You might be anxious
about leaving for the Academy
in the Imperial Capital.
But I'm sure it'll be fine.
You'll meet people whom
you can call friends as well.
Good luck, Elia.
Well.
I will get going.
Listen, Elia.
If anything happens, write us immediately.
You can write to us every day,
even if nothing happens.
Don't make her any more anxious
than she already is.
That's right.
Parents need to learn
to let go of their children.
This is embarrassing.
Father
Oh, you finally smiled.
You're right.
Well done, Reinhart.
Was this your intention?
Actually, yes.
Really?
Go, Elia.
Go enjoy your life at the Academy.
Yes, try out lots of different things.
The daughter of a duke
might attract people with ill intentions.
But Elia should be able to deal with it.
Yes.
Miss Elia has a keen eye for people.
I don't think we have to worry about it.
Right, Miss Elia?
It's time to go.
Okay.
I'm really leaving now.
Thank you, Hughes, Camil.
Mr. Ryoma.
I'll do my best!
