Premise

edit

Two centuries have passed since a hero defeated the evil Jaryu and saved the world. In one of the many dungeon cities, Raust, a healer, is unjustly kicked out of his party for being too weak. Scorned by other Adventurers because of his new reputation as an "incompetent", he is unable to form or join a new adventuring party and struggles to find his place. Amidst despair, he meets martial artist Narusena (whom Raust had met some time ago but currently does not recognize her), who immediately invites him to form a new party together. Since Raust does have experience and a great many other hidden talents, he agrees, and with a fresh start and renewed motivation the two begin their journey to greatness.

1"Regarding Their Meeting, Which Was, in Fact, a Reunion"
Transliteration: "Sono Deai, Jitsuha Saikai ni Tsuki" (Japanese: その出会い、実は再会につき)
Keisuke ŌnishiKurazumi SunayamaKeisuke ŌnishiOctober 6, 2024 (2024-10-06)
As a child Narsena loses her family to monsters but is rescued by the Healer Laust. Narsena trains as a Martial Artist and years later tracks down Laust to form an adventurer party with him, even though he doesn’t recognise her. Guild secretary Amherst tries to dissuade her as Laust is a notoriously poor healer and was kicked from the party Blades of Lightning for incompetence. Regardless, Narsena insists Laust is the only one she will partner with. Laust explains the Mardat City Labyrinth has never been conquered so exploring it is still a good way to make money. Narsena proves an excellent fighter, as does Laust who kills a high level orc with only his dagger. Amherst is certain the orc being on the wrong floor is a sign something is happening deeper inside the labyrinth. After receiving payment for the orc Laust realises Blades of Lightning had been stealing most of his earnings. Guild Manager Hanzum takes an interest in Laust and Narsena. They lodge at a tavern run by Mary and her daughter. Narsena is disappointed Laust doesn’t recognise her. She is also confused why the entire city treats Laust as useless when he is clearly skilled.
2"Regarding the Banishment, Which Was, in Fact, the Start of a New Voyage"
Transliteration: "Sono Tsuihō, Jitsuha Aratanaru Tabidachi ni Tsuki" (Japanese: その追放、実は新たなる旅立ちにつき)
Yuki MoritaKurazumi SunayamaKeisuke ŌnishiOctober 13, 2024 (2024-10-13)
Raust dreams about Blades of Lightning’s last quest to kill a Hydra, which failed due to poor teamwork and party leader Margulus running away. They blamed Raust, banished him and spread rumours of his incompetence. This had followed the death of his original party when they attempted to use him as live bait, only to be killed themselves. After their deaths was when he rescued Narsena. He found people to mentor him and gained other skills, eventually being hired by Blades of Lightning. He and Narsena head to a deeper level of the labyrinth where Narsena proves capable of using Prana; a type of spirit energy. To treat her injuries Raust uses a magic tool to enhance his basic healing. Narsena is fascinated by stone towers around the city, which have seemingly no purpose as even the builders paid to construct them weren’t told what they were for. Resting for the evening Narsena is angry at herself for still not asking to share the same room. Margulus hires a new healer, Lyra, determined to go back and slay the Hydra. Hanzum reports on Narsena to a shadowy figure who calls her the Sleeping Princess. He orders Hanzum to get rid of Raust.
3"Regarding the Mage, Who Is, In Fact, A Kind Soul"
Transliteration: "Jitsuwa Yasashī Tamashī O Motsu Mahōtsukai Ni Tsuite" (Japanese: 実は優しい魂を持つ魔法使いについて)
TBATBATBAOctober 20, 2024 (2024-10-20)
Lyra is baffled at Margulus’ claim Laust cut off one of the Hydra’s heads, since Healers are not supposed to be fighters. Laust and Narsena begin earning a lot of money so Amherst suggests renting a house. Blades of Lightning fail to kill the Hydra and this time are severely injured. Margulus grudgingly admits Laust was actually useful, so he goes and demands Laust re-join them. However, he is humiliated when Laust turns him down, and accidentally blurts out the truth about Laust’s usefulness and underpaying him. Still determined to defeat the Hydra Margulus impulsively hires Shig, a swordsman more skilled than he is. The Blades Sorceress Armia and Lyra approach Laust privately to beg his help as Margulus is likely to get someone killed the next time. She also apologises for how she treated Laust since she was too scared of Marguluis and Saberia to stand up to them. She is also too loyal to leave, while Lyra feels too protective of Armia to leave either. Lyra suspects Shig is someone she knows called Sieg. Shig denies all knowledge of this so Lyra chooses not to reveal his secret. Laust and Narsena return to the labyrinth while the Blades go after the Hydra again.
