Episode 4 recap

The Great Cleric’s fourth episode began with Luciel being given a day off, with Brod suggesting he help out in the butchery on his off day. Here he met Galba, the older brother of Gulgar. Galba first showed Luciel what to do before having him practice on a rabbit. While hesitant at first, Luciel was eventually able to perform the task, albeit with a clear reservation in his voice and expression.

Luciel then changed and washed his clothes from the butchery practice when he was approached by Nanaella, who asked him if he was okay. After a brief conversation, Luciel went to eat dinner. Luciel was then given another rest day, which was spent with Nanaella and the other women of the guild staff learning about this world’s history, geography, and society.

Nanaella and Luciel then went to buy the latter new clothes, where they ran into Monika from the healer’s guild. Luciel also learned of the existence of slavery in this world in the process. The next day, he was tasked with healing some adventurers, pushing himself to the limit to do so, but saving everyone as a result. The episode then ended by flashing forward to the end of Luciel’s year of training, thanking Brod, Nanaella, and everyone before leaving.


What to expect (speculative)

With his training now over, The Great Cleric episode 5 will likely see Luciel move on to new adventures and opportunities in this strange world. Likewise, the series could go in a number of different directions, from having Luciel join an adventure party to having him find work at a healing clinic.

Either way, The Great Cleric episode 5 will almost certainly set up whatever Luciel’s next moves are. By the episode’s end, exactly what’s in store for both Luciel and fans in the series’ immediate future should be clear.
