1. DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
Copy !req
2. Laios and crew are returning
to the surface.
Copy !req
3. I just don't wanna lose
any of you.
Copy !req
4. Me neither.
Copy !req
5. While their bonds
are growing ever stronger…
Copy !req
6. Let's go back in time a bit…
Copy !req
7. You're finally conscious.
Copy !req
8. Are you feeling all right?
Copy !req
9. Your injuries weren't too severe.
Copy !req
10. I had to use goat's blood
to replace what you'd lost.
Copy !req
11. It'll do for now,
Copy !req
12. but you should return to town soon.
Copy !req
13. It's good you weren't still in the water,
or you'd have been fish food.
Copy !req
14. You should be thankful
to whoever pulled you out.
Copy !req
15. Are you thinking what I am?
Copy !req
16. Kuro!
Copy !req
17. I know this scent.
Copy !req
18. Elf, tall-man, half-foot, dwarf.
Copy !req
19. The ones who stole our treasure.
Copy !req
20. I had a feeling it was those guys!
Copy !req
21. Huh?
Copy !req
22. The revival fee, please.
Copy !req
23. Enough for the goat's blood is fine.
Copy !req
24. That's right, we were…
Copy !req
25. assaulted by some fish-men.
Copy !req
26. I guess we must have died again.
Copy !req
27. This is plenty, thank you.
Copy !req
28. They're adventurers?
Copy !req
29. - Aren't you…
- Hmm?
Copy !req
30. Need something?
Copy !req
31. No.
Copy !req
32. Let's go, Namari.
Copy !req
33. Oh, right.
Copy !req
34. Got a soft spot for dwarves?
- Hmm?
Copy !req
35. You have no integrity.
Copy !req
36. Hey, I don't use someone's height
to determine
Copy !req
37. whether or not I hang out with them.
Copy !req
38. That so?
Copy !req
39. Huh?
Copy !req
40. Our food is gone!
Copy !req
41. It got stolen by those guys again!
Copy !req
42. Food.
Copy !req
43. Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
44. It's so weird.
Copy !req
45. They always take all our food
but none of our money.
Copy !req
46. Maybe they keep running out of it?
Copy !req
47. So annoying.
Copy !req
48. We really should teach them a lesson.
Copy !req
49. What's the plan, Kabru?
Copy !req
50. Hmm…
Copy !req
51. There's no choice.
Copy !req
52. Let's go back.
Copy !req
53. Wait. You're joking, right?
Copy !req
54. Shouldn't we go after them?
Copy !req
55. We don't have any food though,
so we shouldn't go any further.
Copy !req
56. How about we admit defeat for now?
Copy !req
57. Like that guy said before he left,
Copy !req
58. we have to be thankful
that we're alive at all.
Copy !req
59. If that's what you wanna do,
I guess I'll stick with you.
Copy !req
60. I will too.
Copy !req
61. If you promise you won't give up
on finding those filthy criminals,
Copy !req
62. then I'm fine to return.
Copy !req
63. I promise, Rin. Thanks.
Copy !req
64. Kuro will do what Mickbell does.
Copy !req
65. Oh, man.
Copy !req
66. I can't believe we're not making
any profit this time.
Copy !req
67. Hmm…
Copy !req
68. There's so much fog.
Copy !req
69. Hey, be careful, everyone—
Copy !req
70. This fog didn't occur naturally.
Copy !req
71. This is from a monster.
Copy !req
72. A fish-man?
Copy !req
73. There are so many of them.
Copy !req
74. I guess there's no choice.
Copy !req
75. Come on!
Copy !req
76. The way it uses that axe seems familiar.
Copy !req
77. This swinging motion.
Copy !req
78. I know it all too well.
Copy !req
79. That's right.
Copy !req
80. This is…
Copy !req
81. Shh!
Copy !req
82. Everything's fine.
Copy !req
83. Just calm down.
Copy !req
84. Daya.
Copy !req
85. It's me.
Copy !req
86. This fog is illusion magic.
Copy !req
87. The confused one
with their weapon drawn is Kuro.
Copy !req
88. And the one zoning out
across from him is Holm.
Copy !req
89. He has a habit of freezing up
when things get a bit crazy.
Copy !req
90. The one who ran off is probably Mick.
Copy !req
91. So, the one that poses the most danger is…
Copy !req
92. - Rin.
Copy !req
93. She's already in mid-chant.
Copy !req
94. She has the power
to turn us all to ashes instantly.
Copy !req
95. The only peaceful way
to stop a chanting magic-user is…
Copy !req
96. Rin.
Copy !req
97. You get it, right?
Copy !req
98. This is all an illusion.
Copy !req
99. It's too bad she looks like
a monster.
Copy !req
100. Now then…
Copy !req
101. in order to stop this fog
that was conjured…
Copy !req
102. This isn't the right one.
Copy !req
103. Those who attack with weapons
aren't casters.
Copy !req
104. They're always observing things from afar.
Copy !req
105. That one!
Copy !req
106. Oh, no!
Copy !req
107. All right, all right.
Copy !req
108. We surrender!
Copy !req
109. So would you mind letting go
of my mage friend?
Copy !req
110. Wait a minute…
Copy !req
111. They are the corpse retrievers
from upstairs!
Copy !req
112. I don't think this reunion
is just a coincidence.
Copy !req
113. You guys followed us, right?
Copy !req
114. What… What do you mean?
Copy !req
115. It's more profitable to retrieve corpses
from a deeper floor
Copy !req
116. 'cause the Island pays more for it.
Copy !req
117. We were angry about
our stuff being stolen,
Copy !req
118. and while we were trying to get back,
Copy !req
119. we went to a floor
that was above our skill level.
Copy !req
120. So all they had to do was follow us
Copy !req
121. and they would find
more profitable corpses.
Copy !req
122. Oh.
Copy !req
123. So annoying.
Copy !req
124. But you were a little too late.
Copy !req
125. When you found us, we'd already
been revived by someone else
Copy !req
126. and we were heading back to the surface.
Copy !req
127. It made you panic,
so you decided to use illusion magic
Copy !req
128. to turn us all against each other.
Copy !req
129. You're a little off base.
Copy !req
130. What we wanted was for you
to catch up to the thieves.
Copy !req
131. Having you kill each other
would have been the best scenario.
Copy !req
132. But it's really a shame.
Copy !req
133. We didn't think you'd die so quickly
from being attacked by mere monsters.
Copy !req
134. You little…
Copy !req
135. In-fighting and stealing
between adventurers is a crime.
Copy !req
136. I'm reporting you to the Island Lord.
Copy !req
137. How about we make a deal?
Copy !req
138. It'll be wasteful
for you to go back empty-handed.
Copy !req
139. Two of my party members
were unfortunately taken out.
Copy !req
140. Deliver them to the resurrection office.
Copy !req
141. You should earn a decent amount
of money for doing that.
Copy !req
142. Those two are just unconscious.
Copy !req
143. We'll testify
that they got attacked by fish-men.
Copy !req
144. As for splitting the reward,
Copy !req
145. we're gonna take 40.
Copy !req
146. No, 30 percent of it.
Copy !req
147. How's that?
Copy !req
148. It's a pretty good deal, isn't it?
Copy !req
149. All right. I'll do it.
Copy !req
150. Kabru…
Copy !req
151. - Damn you…
Copy !req
152. Yeah, that makes more sense.
Copy !req
153. I'm glad he did the right thing.
Copy !req
154. Humanoids are so easy to deal with.
Copy !req
155. Every single dwarf, gnome, and tall-man,
Copy !req
156. they all tend
to have identical weak points.
Copy !req
157. They move their bodies
in the same way too.
Copy !req
158. It's too bad monsters
aren't like that.
Copy !req
159. Kuro, go find Mick
and bring him back, will you?
Copy !req
160. Kabru.
- Hm?
Copy !req
161. What about him?
Copy !req
162. Please let me go. I swear to you.
Copy !req
163. I didn't know about any of this!
Copy !req
164. Hmph.
Copy !req
165. You don't aim to lift the dungeon's curse,
Copy !req
166. nor eradicate the monsters in here.
Copy !req
167. The number of people who make a living
by stealing from others keeps growing.
Copy !req
168. Good people from this Island
will leave if this continues.
Copy !req
169. That's why I can't forgive
people like you.
Copy !req
170. Have mercy.
Copy !req
171. Kabru.
- Hm?
Copy !req
172. Oh. Sorry about earlier.
Copy !req
173. It was the first solution
I could think of.
Copy !req
174. What are you saying?
Copy !req
175. You know what? Never mind.
Copy !req
176. Okay, if you say so.
Copy !req
177. I feel like we're messing up
and not actually making any progress.
Copy !req
178. You're right.
Copy !req
179. And this is the result of all of that.
Copy !req
180. It's really the worst.
Copy !req
181. You could stand to be
a bit more encouraging?
Copy !req
182. There's no point in sugarcoating it.
Copy !req
183. This is just the best we can do
for right now.
Copy !req
184. The Island Lord only sees this dungeon
as a profitable tunnel.
Copy !req
185. If the gold runs dry,
Copy !req
186. he thinks that monster leather and bones
would be enough.
Copy !req
187. But no one's gonna
dive into a dungeon
Copy !req
188. that's been thoroughly searched through.
Copy !req
189. Maybe 'cause the get-rich-quick
dream disappears,
Copy !req
190. or the spirit of adventure
isn't being met.
Copy !req
191. The population starts to decline and then…
Copy !req
192. dangerous monsters pour out
of the dungeon.
Copy !req
193. That's how a countless number of towns
have been destroyed.
Copy !req
194. We have to lift
this place's curse and fast.
Copy !req
195. The world doesn't need monsters
and dungeons.
Copy !req
196. Yeah.
Copy !req
197. I'm starving.
Copy !req
198. Being revived does make you hungry, huh?
Copy !req
199. Kabru! Check it out!
Hm?
Copy !req
200. Those guys were carrying
some pretty valuable things on them.
Copy !req
201. All right.
Copy !req
202. Let's only take their food
and then sink the rest of it.
Copy !req
203. What? Why sink it?
Copy !req
204. If we take just everything,
it means we're no better than they are.
Copy !req
205. Once we're all finished,
how about we eat a little something?
Copy !req
206. Let's do it.
Copy !req
207. ADVENTURERS' RATIONS
SALTED MEAT
Copy !req
208. BREAD, WINE, NUTS
AND DRIED FRUITS
Copy !req
209. It's time for us to dig in!
Copy !req
210. Whoa!
Copy !req
211. Those guys were eating good.
Copy !req
212. I guess corpse retrievers get paid a lot.
Copy !req
213. Yeah, when you're making your own corpses
to take back.
Copy !req
214. And the Island Lord
hasn't caught on to that?
Copy !req
215. There are actually inspections
when it comes to payments from the Island.
Copy !req
216. But it seems like those guys
were getting around it.
Copy !req
217. It's honestly more likely that there are
a lot of people working together
Copy !req
218. behind the scenes.
Copy !req
219. Sounds like corruption.
Copy !req
220. They're digging their own graves
by doing that.
Copy !req
221. Should we try to report this?
Copy !req
222. I wouldn't expect the Island Lord
to come up with a good solution.
Copy !req
223. Only rookies like Doni
will be affected by it.
Copy !req
224. If the Island Lord bursts
after stuffing himself,
Copy !req
225. I wouldn't mind at all.
Copy !req
226. I'm pretty sure the elves would step in
and take his place.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, so we still need him
to act as sort of a middleman.
Copy !req
228. We're dealing with a dwarf and a tall-man,
and an elf and a half-foot…
Copy !req
229. What are you muttering?
Copy !req
230. Those are the people in the party
that put the ghost-warding spell on us.
Copy !req
231. Ugh, the ones
who stole our treasure.
Copy !req
232. The ones who stole our food.
Copy !req
233. There aren't very many parties
with an elf in them.
Copy !req
234. We might figure it out
if we narrow things down.
Copy !req
235. Maybe it's Doni and Fionil?
Copy !req
236. It's hard to believe that those two
were able to make it to the third floor.
Copy !req
237. Having only
four party members is odd.
Copy !req
238. It's more reckless than anything.
Copy !req
239. Hey, Holm, or Rin.
Copy !req
240. Look closer at this ghost-repelling spell.
Copy !req
241. Wait, you still have that thing on?
Copy !req
242. Oh, yeah, it's evidence.
Copy !req
243. That magic's not in my area of expertise.
Copy !req
244. Let me see.
Copy !req
245. Hmm…
Copy !req
246. "Honor student."
Copy !req
247. It's like something
right out of a textbook.
Copy !req
248. The spell is pretty weak.
Copy !req
249. A magic school student probably.
Copy !req
250. Everyone from there all read spells
in the same way.
Copy !req
251. I'm confident it was an elf specifically.
Copy !req
252. I see. Is that so?
Copy !req
253. Wait. "Magic school student"?
Copy !req
254. This all makes sense now.
Copy !req
255. Huh? What does?
Copy !req
256. Oh, sorry,
I just realized something.
Copy !req
257. It's only a speculation, but if I'm right,
Copy !req
258. it would make me really happy.
Copy !req
259. Come on, Kabru.
Stop beating around the bush.
Copy !req
260. All right. Well…
Copy !req
261. It's gotta be the Touden siblings' party.
Copy !req
262. Those two, huh? Really?
Copy !req
263. They didn't seem like the type
to wanna do crime.
Copy !req
264. So, why them?
Copy !req
265. First, the younger sister of the duo
used to be a student at a magic school.
Copy !req
266. Didn't an elf put
the ghost-ward on us though?
Copy !req
267. And those siblings were tall-men,
weren't they?
Copy !req
268. Whoa, I'm not done yet.
Just keep listening.
Copy !req
269. The elf and the younger sister
in that party
Copy !req
270. looked like they got along well.
Copy !req
271. They seemed like they were maybe
childhood friends or something.
Copy !req
272. I'm guessing that they were at least
classmates at the same magic school.
Copy !req
273. It's rare here for someone
to be from a magic school.
Copy !req
274. Not to mention an elf.
Copy !req
275. Hmm, it isn't that it's impossible.
Copy !req
276. But to only base it off that…
Copy !req
277. And besides, Kuro said he only
smelled one tall-man, didn't he?
Copy !req
278. Siblings would have had
two different scents. Ah…
Copy !req
279. Could that be the reason
they're recklessly exploring
Copy !req
280. - with such a small party?
Exactly!
Copy !req
281. They lost either the brother
or the sister,
Copy !req
282. and wanted to go save them.
Copy !req
283. But the party had a dispute about it.
Copy !req
284. That's what I gathered,
Copy !req
285. considering we saw one of them
in a new party.
Copy !req
286. It seems like they'd been
having disputes about goals and income.
Copy !req
287. And because of this, it's highly possible
that people left the group at some point.
Copy !req
288. And that put them in a bind,
so they took our stuff.
Copy !req
289. You're finally starting
to sound convincing.
Copy !req
290. Told you.
Copy !req
291. Wait.
Copy !req
292. Kuro said he also smelled a dwarf.
Copy !req
293. Isn't that right, buddy?
Copy !req
294. I did. Definitely did.
Copy !req
295. So isn't it weird
that they apparently
Copy !req
296. still have a dwarf with them?
Copy !req
297. They must have a new dwarf tagging along.
Copy !req
298. Do we know exactly
who this party consists of?
Copy !req
299. Let's see.
Copy !req
300. The tall-men are Laios and Falin.
Copy !req
301. And there's the Eastern man named Shuro.
Copy !req
302. The dwarf we saw earlier is Namari.
Copy !req
303. And the elf is Marcille.
Copy !req
304. I'm not positive,
but I think the half-foot is Chilchuck.
Copy !req
305. If it is the Touden party,
Copy !req
306. then that means Shuro, Namari, and one
of the siblings aren't there anymore.
Copy !req
307. And the new dwarf
may have joined their ranks.
Copy !req
308. I see. So that woman
from earlier was Namari.
Copy !req
309. Oh.
Copy !req
310. Do you know anything, Daya?
Copy !req
311. Only her name. Since she's famous.
Copy !req
312. She's the child of someone
called "Weapons Dealer."
Copy !req
313. What a name!
Copy !req
314. He's who dealt with all the weapon
and armor exchange on this Island.
Copy !req
315. One day, he disappeared
after he was found embezzling money.
Copy !req
316. It was that incident that ruined
the Island Lord's image of us dwarves.
Copy !req
317. Ever since that happened,
a lot of us dwarves faced hardships.
Copy !req
318. Including myself.
Copy !req
319. I doubt any sane dwarf would choose
to take her spot in a party.
Copy !req
320. Whoever it is is insane then.
Copy !req
321. Mickbell is right.
Copy !req
322. They smell dangerous.
Copy !req
323. I know a couple of details
about that Chilchuck guy too.
Copy !req
324. He's delusional in his old age.
Copy !req
325. And seems to think he's the representative
of the half-foots on this Island.
Copy !req
326. When he makes a contract
with someone, he's like,
Copy !req
327. "Go through the guild
and pay me a broker's fee!"
Copy !req
328. - He's a greedy little bastard.
Copy !req
329. I'm not stupid enough
to join under terms like that.
Copy !req
330. If the guild found out I hired a kobold,
they'd definitely say something to me.
Copy !req
331. You wouldn't want that.
Copy !req
332. You like working for me, right, Kuro?
Copy !req
333. Mick feeds me.
Copy !req
334. He's the best boss I could ask for.
Copy !req
335. I bet he is working the poor thing
to the bone for peanuts.
Copy !req
336. You shouldn't say things like that
just based on speculation.
Copy !req
337. Hey, the Eastern tall-man
is from the same place as Rin, isn't he?
Copy !req
338. Does that mean you know him?
Copy !req
339. Listen.
Copy !req
340. Don't lump us together
'cause we're both "Eastern".
Copy !req
341. Not all towns speak the same language,
you know?
Copy !req
342. Besides the name Shuro
isn't even from my island.
Copy !req
343. Then let me share what I know about him.
Copy !req
344. Even there,
he always managed to stand out.
Copy !req
345. He came to the Island
with some people from his town
Copy !req
346. but decided to join the Touden party.
Copy !req
347. He didn't seem like he was a mere peasant
Copy !req
348. and wanted to use the dungeon
to test his strength.
Copy !req
349. So he eventually left the party, huh?
Copy !req
350. Don't think he'd be concerned
about money or danger.
Copy !req
351. What if it was actually both siblings
that left and him who stayed?
Copy !req
352. No, that's not right.
Copy !req
353. It's pretty creepy how well you remember
things about people, Kabru.
Copy !req
354. Why do you look so excited?
Copy !req
355. 'Cause I am excited. This is so fun.
Copy !req
356. There are lots of people
on this Island
Copy !req
357. and everyone acts
with completely different motives.
Copy !req
358. But when all those separate actions
eventually come together,
Copy !req
359. it becomes a historical moment
involving a large group.
Copy !req
360. I thought it was a boring case of theft,
Copy !req
361. but I think things
are gonna get real interesting.
Copy !req
362. So I really hope it's the Touden's party.
Copy !req
363. Because one of my greatest wishes
Copy !req
364. is to be there for the moment
when their mask finally comes off.
Copy !req
365. You got some kind of grudge against them?
Copy !req
366. They'd done nothing
to me personally.
Copy !req
367. But in the past, they made quite
a bit of money from gold stripping.
Copy !req
368. But most of their earnings
were given to their party members
Copy !req
369. who were too injured to explore.
Copy !req
370. Wow.
Copy !req
371. A happy ending.
Copy !req
372. It's a moving story
Copy !req
373. if I didn't tell you all the rest of it.
Copy !req
374. They weren't actually
still injured
Copy !req
375. and just pocketed the money.
Copy !req
376. They never went back to adventuring.
Copy !req
377. Now they sell illegally manufactured goods
on the Island.
Copy !req
378. "I shall bestow my kingdom
to whoever defeats the mage."
Copy !req
379. Those were the words of a man
who claimed to be King of this country.
Copy !req
380. But whether or not
you're actually given everything,
Copy !req
381. this dungeon itself is a relic left behind
long ago by the ancient elves.
Copy !req
382. There's no doubt you would gain
a great amount of influence.
Copy !req
383. That's why…
Copy !req
384. I really don't think those siblings
should be the ones to inherit it.
Copy !req
385. They don't seem to care about that.
Copy !req
386. They're not leaders.
Copy !req
387. Just like the Island Lord.
Copy !req
388. We completely get it, Kabru.
Copy !req
389. We already know
you're the only one fit to lead.
Copy !req
390. And you'll drive out
that stupid Island Lord too.
Copy !req
391. Well, if we're still having trouble
with random monsters in here,
Copy !req
392. we've clearly got a long ways to go.
Copy !req
393. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
394. We should probably start heading out now.
Copy !req
395. I hope that we can return
without any more incidents.
Copy !req
396. Whoa! What the…
Copy !req
397. It's blade fish!
Copy !req
398. Don't let the fish distract you!
Copy !req
399. The real danger is right under our—
Copy !req
400. A Kraken? No, a Sea Serpent!
Copy !req
401. Rin! Get away!
Copy !req
402. I can't…
Copy !req
403. Holm!
Copy !req
404. I can't summon her
in a situation like this!
Copy !req
405. Weird stuff could get mixed in!
Copy !req
406. Stay calm.
Copy !req
407. You've got to do something, Kabru.
Copy !req
408. It's not moving in a complicated way.
Copy !req
409. Discern its movements,
find its carotid artery.
Copy !req
410. Where even is that artery?
Copy !req
411. - Excuse me.
Copy !req
412. Tade!
Copy !req
413. Aye-aye!
Copy !req
414. My Lord, if you please!
Copy !req
415. - My Lord!
- Huh?
Copy !req
416. That was simply incredible.
Copy !req
417. Are there any stains on your garment?
Copy !req
418. No.
Copy !req
419. You must be tired.
Copy !req
420. Shall we rest here for a meal?
Copy !req
421. No. We press on.
Copy !req
422. Our Lord's being quite bullheaded.
Copy !req
423. It's only because he's head over heels
with that Northern woman.
Copy !req
424. - Ah, Tade is feeling extremely hungry.
Copy !req
425. Are you hurt anywhere, Kabru?
Copy !req
426. - I've changed my mind.
- Huh?
Copy !req
427. I think if we boiled this,
it might be delicious!
Copy !req
428. - Disgusting.
Excuse me.
Copy !req
429. I would like to thank you for saving us.
Copy !req
430. We would have been goners.
Copy !req
431. I'm Kabru.
Copy !req
432. May I ask your names?
Copy !req
433. You may not.
Copy !req
434. We're just passing through here.
Copy !req
435. Sorry for eavesdropping.
Copy !req
436. But I think you were looking for a woman?
Copy !req
437. Do… Do you have any info?
Copy !req
438. Just as I thought.
Copy !req
439. I was right about that.
Copy !req
440. You're in luck.
Copy !req
441. We may be able to help you out
Copy !req
442. - in your search for Falin Touden.
Copy !req
443. Kuro, cut it out!
Copy !req
444. I told you to stop making that face
because it's scary!
Copy !req
445. What the heck's gotten into you, huh?
Copy !req
446. And with that,
Kabru and his party
Copy !req
447. will be continuing into the dungeon.
Copy !req
448. NOW
Copy !req
449. Back to the present with Laios's group,
Copy !req
450. two days after deciding to return home.
Copy !req
451. We hit a dead-end?
Copy !req
452. Another dead-end.
Copy !req
453. I'm so hungry.
Copy !req
454. I'm tired.
Copy !req
455. So thirsty…
Copy !req
456. They are currently lost
and on the verge of death.
