00:00Well, he's alive. Better than I expected.
00:10Huh. You think it was the treants?
00:13Well, no visible wounds, so probably.
00:15In here I was hoping this would be an easy assignment.
00:18Careful with the attitude.
00:20You're right. I should be glad.
00:21After all, it's a royal mission.
00:23And a royal mission is a terribly serious thing.
00:26We can write off our expenses.
00:27Hmm.
00:30You know, it just occurred to me.
00:33A serious mission requires serious food.
00:36You hungry?
00:38A steak sounds pretty serious.
00:41Red Meat and I have been too casual lately.
00:44Aww.
00:45Then I'd say it's about time to bring your relationship to the next level.
00:50After visiting the infirmary, of course.
00:58Hey, Lloyd.
01:00So, I, uh, I mean, our break starts tomorrow and I was wondering, want to catch a horse race, maybe?
01:09Hi, Selene.
01:12Our first vacation and I have been called home, summoned like a chambermaid.
01:16My family insists I avail myself of their unparalleled companionship.
01:19I must cancel my plans, Mr. Lloyd.
01:23My dream of hot springs has been crushed!
01:27Ah, unless I firebomb our ancestral home, then they'd have no choice but to send me back!
01:33Like what I said earlier, hot springs are still a go!
01:35Well, I'm sincerely flattered, but I kinda already got plans.
01:39You said you're flattered!
01:41Which means you'll take a rain check!
01:42Which means marriage!
01:44Not to be a storm cloud, but you might be getting ahead of yourself there.
01:47Don't think I didn't overhear you flagrantly propositioned Sir Lloyd for a date!
01:50What are your intentions with a man of my destiny?
01:53You're out of your mind!
01:54It wasn't a date!
01:55Good grief!
01:56Whoa, betide me!
01:58Whatever shall I do?
02:00Who would have dared imagine?
02:02Dear, oh dear!
02:03Is something the matter, Mr. Allen?
02:05I am a failure as your apprentice, an embarrassment!
02:08It is my duty to stand by you during vacation!
02:11And yet I've been roped into a meeting I simply can't get out of!
02:15Sounds like important business!
02:17Indeed.
02:18It's an interview for marriage.
02:20They ask for me, naturally.
02:22Our families have arranged the whole affair.
02:24For all I know, my bride-to-be is a gargoyle, but propriety demands I give a fair hearing.
02:29I presume her ladyship must come from excellent stock.
02:32Mayhaps our talk will develop into romance.
02:36Hm?
02:37Hm.
02:37That'll be the day.
02:39Whoever she is, I pity her.
02:41Hey!
02:41I am a snack and you know it!
02:44I'm home!
02:48Hey, Chief.
02:49What's going on?
02:51Just having a pleasant chat with Marie.
02:53We're discussing our plans for the holiday!
02:58Oh yeah, I forgot.
03:01I'm going out of town for a job.
03:04As in a job that's not in Chrome's cafeteria?
03:06That's right.
03:07Except I guess it's more of an assignment.
03:09He's sending me to work at a big fancy resort hotel.
03:12For the whole vacation?
03:13They're short-staffed.
03:15The place needs me.
03:16Somebody's got to help out in the kitchen and pick up the slack with housekeeping.
03:19Oh, well and good, but why does it have to be you?
03:21If Chrome is so concerned, then why can't he do it himself?
03:25Come on.
03:26Helping folks is what I do best.
03:30Well argued, darling.
03:31Excellent point.
03:33I suppose the honorable thing would be for me to accompany you on this assignment.
03:37A fancy resort hotel?
03:38Well, I am overdue for a luxury getaway.
03:42Look, I'm sorry.
03:43I know you mean well that you're just worried about me, but I want to do this alone.
03:50Everyone's so useful.
03:52I need to learn what that feels like.
03:54And with you around, I'd have too much of a safety net.
03:58Sorry.
03:58Ugh, any minute now, I can't wait around all day.
04:12Good lord, that presents, I'm done for!
04:15Sorry I'm late.
04:15Have you been waiting long?
04:17And you are...
04:19Oh, I'm your new part-time help.
04:20Mr. Chrome sent me from his cafeteria.
04:23My name's Lloyd Belladonna.
04:24Damn that lumbering oaf.
04:26Why didn't he tell me this child was a beast?
04:29Yes, well, pleasure to meet you, Lloyd.
04:32I am Koba Lamine, owner of this fine establishment.
04:35Mr. Chrome tells me you were a soldier in the royal army, just like him.
04:40Yes, I was a captain of the royal guard.
04:43Wow, that sounds super dangerous.
04:46Perhaps, but not half so arduous as running a resort hotel.
04:50I'll bet, this place is gargantuan.
04:55Don't I know it?
04:56We've become quite the fashionable vacation spot as of late.
04:59Which makes the odd goings-on all the more, shall we say, disquieting.
05:04Yes, and staff members have been discovered comatose, with no explanation as to why.
05:09That's really strange.
05:10I'm just grateful the situation hasn't resulted in a fatality.
05:14I put in a formal request for help from the government.
05:17Huh.
05:18Chrome agreed to send someone he thought could help.
05:20As a cadet, I won't turn a blind eye to your troubles.
05:23Anything you need, I'm your man.
05:26I'd prefer for you to start right away, so that's good to hear.
05:29Kikyo, what are you doing?
05:42Hi there, boss.
05:44You're looking stately today.
05:46And you, my dear, look like a consummate slacker.
05:49Young Lloyd.
05:49This is your immediate supervisor, Kikyo.
05:54You must be the new part-timer they told me about.
05:56Nice to meet ya.
05:57Welcome.
05:58My name is Lloyd.
05:59I won't be around long, but I'm happy to be of service.
06:02Goodness.
06:03That's a first-class attitude there.
06:04I'm counting on you to show him the ropes.
06:07Sure thing.
06:07I assume you're familiar with sweeping.
06:13You want me to clean this entire room?
06:14We all gotta pull our weight, kiddo.
06:16No free lunch is here.
06:18Our clientele have grown accustomed to an absurdly high standard of service.
06:22Unless we can each function as team members and as individuals, everything goes to hell.
06:26Done.
06:26What's next?
06:27Ah, so you're some kind of joker I see.
06:30Did I go too fast and miss a spot?
06:37Oh, I forgot to clean the skylights.
06:39I'm so sorry.
06:42How are you doing that?
06:44Sorry to bother you, Lloyd.
06:46I realize that you must be busy.
06:47Good Lord, that glare!
06:50Ha, Mr. Koba.
06:51I'm just finishing up here.
06:52Oh, now that's impressive.
06:56Um, sir.
06:57What in the world's a story with this kid?
06:59Hmm.
07:02Classified information.
07:04Huh?
07:05Let's give you a real challenge, shall we?
07:07Yes, sir.
07:10Oh, you wear that uniform like a pro.
07:14So, I'm the face of hospitality?
07:16One of our most illustrious clients is arriving a day ahead of schedule.
07:20You'll be his concierge.
07:22Is that a fancy word for grunt?
07:24The nobility are a notoriously fickle lot, so be warned.
07:27They daren't be left unattended for a moment.
07:30No pressure.
07:31Just indulge his whims with a smile.
07:34Lord Threonine.
07:35Your early arrival is both an honor and a joy.
07:39I presume your business concluded with auspicious dispatch?
07:43Such language.
07:44If I didn't know better, I'd think you were calling me a hassle.
07:46I assure you nothing could be further from the truth.
07:51You are an obsequious ass.
07:53I am more than equal to the task of decanting my own wine.
07:56But of course, my lord.
07:57I'm sure few can do it so well.
08:00Nothing like a glass in view of the cypresses.
08:03Right you are, my lord.
08:04And may I be so bold as to say your eye for the natural landscape is unsurpassed.
08:08Leave me be.
08:09That was not an entry to the conversation.
08:11Quiet.
08:11I'll make myself scarce as a scarecrow.
08:14No doubt.
08:15His lordship is aware the forest is soon to be designated as a national landmark for all to enjoy.
08:20Yes, a tourist trap.
08:24What do you think, boy?
08:25Should these trees be subjected to the public?
08:27Oh.
08:29Well, they're certainly very beautiful.
08:32Of course, people do take things for granted.
08:35And it's a shame how much the trees would have to be pruned.
08:40If you ask me, it's better when they're allowed to grow free.
08:44Oh, you seem to know your dendrology, son.
08:47I'm not sure what that means, but I picked up a few things from the lumberjacks back home.
08:51Yes, well, I'm sure they ingrained how unforgiving forestry can be.
08:56My ancestors were woodsmen, you see, before distinguishing themselves in battle.
09:00You don't say.
09:02He's taken a liking to the boy.
09:04I forever lament mankind's inability to let natural beauty speak for itself.
09:09To warp a landscape for the sake of public accessibility defeats its purpose.
09:14That aside, it hinders our investigation.
09:18I beg your pardon?
09:19You know, I have an empty-headed ne'er-do-well son around your age.
09:24Damn fool's been letting the attention he gets at school inflate his sense of self-worth.
09:28Ha! It's refreshing to know there are still young people in the world capable of thinking about something other than themselves.
09:34Nature, for example.
09:36Score!
09:36Good show, my boy.
09:38Ha ha ha ha!
09:39Pardon me. Nice to see you, Mr. Threonine.
09:45I understand there's been another victim. Any other developments to report?
09:50Nothing worth your time, really.
09:53To be expected, given the owner's background. Military men play it close to the vest.
09:59How can you be sure you're not just being overly paranoid?
10:02Illegal treant cultivation seems a bit of a stretch to me.
10:05The forest is close by.
10:07The hotel's proprietor is a former soldier hailing from warmongering Azami.
10:12The victims have all displayed symptoms consistent with treant attacks.
10:16What you call paranoid, I call astute.
10:18Oh, whatever you're sure.
10:20We'll investigate before the area becomes a tourist trap.
10:24This region could be on the verge of becoming a treant dungeon.
10:28By the way, I meant to ask you why you got here so early.
10:31My intel was rather time-sensitive.
10:34A local lord wishes to marry his daughter to my idiot son.
10:37I've come to take part in the interview.
10:40He's a treant dealer.
10:41My sources tell me he's amassed a small fortune.
10:44So he's the one behind the attacks?
10:45The remains of a vanquished treant often make for high-quality lumber.
10:50Selling it isn't illegal, but the volume our friend trades in is rather suspicious.
10:54There must be a connection to this rash of comas.
10:57And you're baiting him with an arranged marriage?
11:00Sadly.
11:00I'm ashamed to dangle my son in such a way, but it's necessary to collect hard evidence.
11:06My hands are tied.
11:08A treant sapling known as the Demon Lord's seedling was recently pilfered from our research lab.
11:13Imagine a Demon Lord in this day and age.
11:15The thief's identity is unknown, but my sources tell me that a traveling merchant was seen bringing the sapling here.
11:23Around the time people started randomly falling into comas.
11:27Correct.
11:28Scholars agree the sapling is parasitic in nature, using human beings to disseminate.
11:32In turn, the host's powers are greatly amplified, speed and dexterity in particular.
11:38No way. Could it be the new guy?
11:42I take it someone you know fits the bill?
11:44Yeah.
11:45It might be the new part-timer Koba just brought on this afternoon.
11:48I had a feeling.
11:52Use this on him.
11:54What is that?
11:54An herbal remedy that will relieve the poor lad from playing unwitting host.
12:00Once ingested, it will expunge the treant from his body.
12:05Understood.
12:06Well, that cinches it.
12:14In no sense, is that kid normal?
12:17Okay, play it cool.
12:19Nice work there, young fella. You're a natural.
12:22How about a cup of tea?
12:23Good evening, ma'am.
12:25I'm kind of surprised to see you working this late.
12:27There have been a lot of people falling into torpor around here lately.
12:30Gotta keep a lookout.
12:32The owner told me about that.
12:33As a cadet, I feel it's my duty to help you uncover what's going on.
12:37Wait, are you telling me you're a soldier in training?
12:40Yes, ma'am.
12:41Tragic.
12:42They're just using this poor kid.
12:44He's been hoodwinked into the role of a treant host.
12:48Here, why don't you drink your tea before it gets cold?
12:51Thank you, Miss Kikyo. I appreciate it.
12:55Attaboy.
12:56Down the hatch.
12:58Let's see that sapling.
12:59I've turned this way upside down looking for you.
13:02Oh, Kikyo. I mean, not you, Lloyd.
13:04In fact, get some sleep.
13:05Yes, sir.
13:06Thank you and have a pleasant evening, Mr. Koba.
13:13We're on high alert, not high tea.
13:15Wait, this? This isn't...
13:17One of these days.
13:18Oh, it tastes like the bottom of a hiking boot trying to poison someone.
13:27No point sticking around if my cover's been blown.
13:34Time to duck out and regroup.
13:37You've lost your mind!
13:40Damn it all!
13:41I knew in my gut she had something to do with this.
13:44She's in cahoots with Threonine.
13:46I don't know precisely what's going on, but I will find out!
13:50Whoa!
13:55That's what I call a breathtaking view!
13:58The room ain't half bad, either.
14:01Yeah, I'm definitely entitled to spoil myself.
14:05Case in point, looky-looky, an actual telephone!
14:09I'm totally ordering a massage.
14:12Good morning, front desk.
14:14Oh!
14:14Lloyd, would you mind taking care of this for me?
14:20You got it!
14:30Hello?
14:31I believe you requested a massage?
14:33Ah, excellent!
14:34You're finally here!
14:37So, when you told us you had plans, you meant you were coming here to work part-time?
14:42Yeah, funny!
14:43I gotta admit, though, never thought I'd see you in a luxury suite.
14:47Yeah, well, it's not like that cash prize from the tournament was gonna spend itself, right?
14:52So, you're a bellhop?
14:53Must keep you on your toes.
14:55Is the job as glamorous as it seems?
14:57I'm really here to help solve a mystery.
15:00In other words, you're sticking your nose into someone else's mess.
15:04People are in danger.
15:05I have to do something!
15:07Okay!
15:08Let's get started!
15:09On what?
15:10Your massage, remember?
15:12Huh?
15:12Huh?
15:13Oh, this feels amazing!
15:18Sorry, I can't!
15:19This is too awkward!
15:20I've changed my mind!
15:22We're alone in here!
15:23I can't just let you run your paws all over me!
15:25I don't understand!
15:27Send in someone else!
15:28Huh?
15:29I promise I know what I'm doing!
15:30I don't want you to massage me!
15:33I don't want you to massage me!
15:33I don't want you to massage me!
15:34I don't want you to massage me!
15:38Sorry to be pushy.
15:40I guess I'm not a very good masseuse.
15:42No, that has nothing to do with it!
15:53Father, please. Surely I'm responsible enough to be given some indication of where we're going?
15:59Don't take it personally, dear. No destination is as important as our quality time together.
16:05Ah, indeed.
16:12It's an honor to have you with us, sir.
16:15A fresh change of clothes at once.
16:18Our pleasure, sir.
16:20I understand the dress code is strict, but doesn't this seem just a bit over the top?
16:25Best of luck with the nuptial arrangements, princess.
16:28They just say, nuptial?
16:29Come now. He's a military man.
16:36If you'll excuse me, I'm feeling unwell.
16:40Please don't ever do that again!
16:42You're attending.
16:43My doing so would be an imposter. I'm already betrothed to someone at the academy!
16:48The gentleman we're interviewing this afternoon is an elite and quite photogenic.
16:52Oh, father, how could you? Of all the men in the world to whom you could entrust your precious little girl's future, you'd choose a boorish, self-important man-child?
16:58He's the first of many potential suitors. Collect yourself. Think of this as a rehearsal.
17:04Of course he'd have an ulterior motive. Why is he like this? What's become of the father I once knew?
17:13Kindly forgive the tardiness of my son. It would appear his wardrobe is rather complicated.
17:21I must prove that my love for Sir Lloyd is pure. Where the hell are those firebombs I ordered?
17:26The very idea of being wedded to Alan is a blight on everything good. Should I kill him? I should kill him.
17:35My belt can catapult me to the door as he enters. I can run him through the heart with cutlery.
17:40I believe he's seen fit to join us.
17:45True love must prevail. Your blood must be spilled, so be it.
17:50We're fine! So sorry I'm late!
17:58There is a god after all!
18:00Miss Selene?
18:02What on earth?
18:04She cleared that distance like a professional.
18:06Will! Can you excuse me? This young man and I have a date with Destiny! Bye!
18:14Well, given this turn of events, you and I have much to discuss. Would you not agree?
18:20Yes. There are a few details to clear up, I think.
18:27Are you okay? You seem out of breath.
18:29Because I'm overcome! The universe has heard my request from giving me an answer!
18:33Let's give this linen closet a run for its money!
18:35Whoa up, girl. The staff has enough to do, thank you very much.
18:41Miss Riho! What are you even doing here?
18:44That's the question you ask? Not why Lloyd showed up instead of Alan?
18:48Think maybe you're a little bit fixated.
18:51I just assumed Lloyd's appearance was a gift from the heavens.
18:55A lot's been going on.
18:56Alan! What are you doing? Snap out of it!
19:02Quickly take him to the infamy!
19:05What is it? What's going on?
19:07I just came in to clean the room as I always do.
19:09The young master was unconscious in the outdoor bath.
19:12Wait, is that...
19:15Mr. Alan...
19:17God help!
19:18Lord Three, I mean.
19:20How can I help?
19:22Are you okay?
19:24Uh...
19:25Lloyd...
19:28Aha!
19:28Long story short, the old guy took a shine to Lloyd.
19:33He asked him to fill in for Alan during your interview.
19:35Meanwhile, I got suckered into filling in for Lloyd on grunt detail.
19:39I can't get over how handsome you look in that outfit!
19:41Are you even listening?
19:43I regret not seeing you as a bellboy. I'm sure you were adorable!
19:47I'm focusing on the wrong thing!
19:48As a hotel employee, I have to help them.
19:51It's my job to get to the bottom of this.
19:53In that case, I have an exceptional idea!
19:56You're standing in for my prospective fiancé.
19:58Very well, so how about we use our courtship as a pretext for investigating?
20:03That's not investigating! You're just asking him out on a date!
20:05The culprit is likely to make another move.
20:08We can tour this resort in the guise of getting to know one another.
20:11And Ryo can snoop around while playing a cleaning lady.
20:14Why does it feel like I'm getting the raw end of this deal?
20:17That's not a bad idea.
20:20In fact, it's an excellent way to avoid suspicion.
20:22I did good!
20:24This is nuts.
