1. DELICIOUS IN DUNGEONCopy !req
2. All right.Copy !req
3. So, while you guys were off
doing dumb thingsCopy !req
4. like being a rock, getting nosebleeds,
or messing with ingredients,Copy !req
5. I managed to find some patterns
in the dungeon's changes.Copy !req
6. You make it sound like
I wanted to turn to stone.Copy !req
7. Yeah, give us a break!Copy !req
8. Those three days were very productive!Copy !req
9. Uh-huh.Copy !req
10. When one place gets blocked,
another opens up.Copy !req
11. And that happens over and over.Copy !req
12. The number of doors, furniture,
and building types doesn't change.Copy !req
13. The houses won't become cemeteries.Copy !req
14. The walls move
in a clockwise spiral at set intervals.Copy !req
15. And all the statues
are in a fixed position.Copy !req
16. And then, based on other things…Copy !req
17. I recognize this road!Copy !req
18. I'm pretty sure
that's the house where we ate the Dragon.Copy !req
19. Chilchuck, you're incredible!Copy !req
20. Hey, just doing my job.Copy !req
21. Hey, wait, isn't this road…Copy !req
22. So she remembers it.Copy !req
23. We got separated from Falin here.Copy !req
24. Only a trail of blood's been left behind.Copy !req
25. It's Falin!Copy !req
26. If they notice the trail,
they'll get worked up.Copy !req
27. How am I gonna handle that?Copy !req
28. Laios, look there!Copy !req
29. Wait a second…Copy !req
30. Listen, you guys!Copy !req
31. I know there are
lots of things to worry about,Copy !req
32. but for now,
we should probably return to the surface…Copy !req
33. Huh?Copy !req
34. This was where the Dragon's corpseCopy !req
35. was supposed to be, wasn't it?Copy !req
36. Yeah, but it's been cleared away
with no remains.Copy !req
37. That hole in the wall over there,Copy !req
38. pretty sure it's from
when the Red Dragon fell downCopy !req
39. after we got the best of it.Copy !req
40. It looks almost completely sealed up now.Copy !req
41. Huh?Copy !req
42. The eye of the mage
is quickly approaching.Copy !req
43. Don't just yell all of a sudden!Copy !req
44. - But I j-just saw…
- Hmm?Copy !req
45. Uh… Huh?Copy !req
46. Mana sickness again maybe.Copy !req
47. Again?Copy !req
48. Ever since I used that healing magic,Copy !req
49. I've been hallucinating
and hearing things.Copy !req
50. Hearing things?
I'm not sure if that's a symptom.Copy !req
51. What was it you heard?Copy !req
52. Oh, it said
the eye of the mage approaches.Copy !req
53. "The eye of the mage," huh?Copy !req
54. That must mean…Copy !req
55. I'm hearing wings!Copy !req
56. That Small Dragon! We need to go and hide!Copy !req
57. Hide where exactly?Copy !req
58. Yeah, there's nowhere
for us to take cover.Copy !req
59. We've gotta run, Marcille!Copy !req
60. Not yet. If we need to hide…Copy !req
61. Uh?Copy !req
62. …we go in the wall!Copy !req
63. Come on! Hurry up, you two!Copy !req
64. What is she…Copy !req
65. It's another one of her magic spells?Copy !req
66. Tell me, Marcille, that magic you used…Copy !req
67. - what the hell was that?
- Huh?Copy !req
68. Wait, Cleaners?Copy !req
69. Excuse me?Copy !req
70. Dungeon Cleaners.Copy !req
71. They're vital creatures to the dungeon.Copy !req
72. Basically, they clean trashCopy !req
73. and repair places
that have been destroyed.Copy !req
74. Uh-huh.Copy !req
75. The wall wasn't fully restored,
so I assumed they hadn't hardened yet.Copy !req
76. This part is the original wall,Copy !req
77. and the Cleaners start down here.Copy !req
78. A-And the floor!Copy !req
79. They've even reconstructed it
with the wear and tearCopy !req
80. a normal road would have.Copy !req
81. You'd never be able
to tell the difference!Copy !req
82. Hmm?Copy !req
83. Ugh!Copy !req
84. The hell are these gross little thingsCopy !req
85. crawling all over the ground?Copy !req
86. Disgusting!Copy !req
87. These are also Cleaners.Copy !req
88. Any dungeon
that didn't have these little guysCopy !req
89. would fall apart immediately.Copy !req
90. And thankfully, they're harmless.Copy !req
91. No, they're not.Copy !req
92. These pesky little critters
are always trying to chew up my tent.Copy !req
93. They start destroying
whatever they feel is in the way.Copy !req
94. Guess that includes your tent, Senshi.Copy !req
95. Bet they're here to eat
the Dragon's corpseCopy !req
96. and the rubble from the blast.Copy !req
97. They appear
when the dungeon receives damage,Copy !req
98. and use their secretions
to stop any further damage.Copy !req
99. Then they proceed to eat
the debris around the area.Copy !req
100. They're not picky.Copy !req
101. After that, they use more secretions
to cover up holes they findCopy !req
102. and restore the dungeon
to its original form.Copy !req
103. It's the same way
living beings heal themselves.Copy !req
104. To put it another way,Copy !req
105. think of it like how our immune system
removes bacteria.Copy !req
106. Yeah, I'd rather not.Copy !req
107. The way all that works
sure feels like some type of magic.Copy !req
108. Amazing, right?Copy !req
109. Criminy.Copy !req
110. What the hell's next,
a magical digestive system?Copy !req
111. If that was really a thing,
I wonder what food a dungeon would eat?Copy !req
112. I'm glad
the blood trail wasn't there anymore.Copy !req
113. - Hey.
- Hmm?Copy !req
114. Let's continue on
before another change happens.Copy !req
115. Hmm.Copy !req
116. It's the stairs!Copy !req
117. Yay!Copy !req
118. Finally, we can get out of this place.Copy !req
119. All right. Now is about the time
we should start doing that thing.Copy !req
120. Yeah, good point. Let's do that.Copy !req
121. What the…Copy !req
122. Oh, right. Now I get it.Copy !req
123. Huh? Wait, you guys meant
preparing a meal?Copy !req
124. I really don't think
there are any Tentacles on these stairs.Copy !req
125. Say that sooner!Copy !req
126. You just like wearing that, don't you?Copy !req
127. Hell no!Copy !req
128. Hmm…Copy !req
129. We've got tons of different ingredients.Copy !req
130. I'm having a hard time
deciding what to make.Copy !req
131. Maybe I'll use that new thing.Copy !req
132. Cook the barley.Copy !req
133. Is that what we picked up
from the third floor?Copy !req
134. I'd been holding on to it
in case we ran out of foodCopy !req
135. since it keeps well.Copy !req
136. The Cockatrice meat,Copy !req
137. the Dryad fruit,Copy !req
138. and the Mandrake along with its leaves.Copy !req
139. Chop up the de-petrification herb…Copy !req
140. season all that and fry it.Copy !req
141. Now stuff some barley rice
into the hollowed-out brick.Copy !req
142. Top it with the rest
and put the brick over the fire.Copy !req
143. And then…Copy !req
144. What… is that thing?Copy !req
145. This here is a Cockatrice's egg.Copy !req
146. I'm glad I brought it along with us,Copy !req
147. but it's pretty dang difficult to use.Copy !req
148. Finally, add the egg sauce overtop and…Copy !req
149. it's ready.Copy !req
150. STONE-BAKED COCKATRICE
CHICKEN AND EGG WITH SAUCECopy !req
151. Whoa, what is this? Looks tasty!Copy !req
152. If I had stayed petrified longer,Copy !req
153. would Senshi have used me to make this?Copy !req
154. Mmm!Copy !req
155. Mmm…Copy !req
156. I love this barley rice!Copy !req
157. Go on
and try stabbing the spoon into the bowl.Copy !req
158. I took a couple of bricks
made by Dungeon CleanersCopy !req
159. and carved them out.Copy !req
160. Then does that mean the bowl's edible too?Copy !req
161. Ugh!Copy !req
162. This is great. Thanks, Senshi!Copy !req
163. What's it taste like?Copy !req
164. At first, it just tasted like dirt.Copy !req
165. But now that it's settling in,Copy !req
166. it's like a magical mixture
of cabbageworm, iron, and lemon.Copy !req
167. Those are very different things, Laios.Copy !req
168. It's pretty hard to describe it properly.Copy !req
169. Are you sure it's okay
to be eating magical creatures?Copy !req
170. You'll hear things
and get nosebleeds again.Copy !req
171. What are those hallucinations?Copy !req
172. Hmm…Copy !req
173. When we make it back,
you should see a doctor… or a shrink.Copy !req
174. Why?Copy !req
175. Do you think this is some kind of illness?Copy !req
176. Hmm?Copy !req
177. Wait, is this a hallucination too?Copy !req
178. Can you guys see this thing?Copy !req
179. Yeah. I can see it.Copy !req
180. Hey, uh, not to interrupt…Copy !req
181. but we're under attack here!Copy !req
182. Ew. What are you wearing?Copy !req
183. Is it the skin of a frog?Copy !req
184. You know,
I think the horns on this one's helmetCopy !req
185. are just for decoration.Copy !req
186. A child, huh?Copy !req
187. Hmph.Copy !req
188. They could be demons in disguise.Copy !req
189. Shall we discover their true nature?Copy !req
190. How about we kill one and see—Copy !req
191. Maizuru, that's enough.Copy !req
192. I know them.Copy !req
193. Shuro!Copy !req
194. It's so good to see you!
It's been a while!Copy !req
195. I never thought
we'd meet in a situation like this!Copy !req
196. What a small world!Copy !req
197. Did you lose weight?Copy !req
198. Oh.Copy !req
199. Whoa.Copy !req
200. I appreciate it, Shuro!Copy !req
201. Mm.Copy !req
202. I'm relieved to see
you're doing well, buddy.Copy !req
203. How overly familiar!Copy !req
204. Oh, yeah, before I forget.Copy !req
205. First up… Senshi, this is Shuro.Copy !req
206. He used to be a member of our party.Copy !req
207. - Who is this "Shuro"?
- He's a great guy.Copy !req
208. - One of the best fighters I've ever seen…
- Is he referring to Lord Toshiro?Copy !req
209. Toshuro?Copy !req
210. That's enough standing, come sit with us.Copy !req
211. You caught us while we were eating.Copy !req
212. You and your friends should…Copy !req
213. Uh…Copy !req
214. That's quite the large group you have.Copy !req
215. Hey, Kabru.Copy !req
216. Aren't they…Copy !req
217. - Nice to meet you.
- Hmm?Copy !req
218. I believe your name is Laios, right?Copy !req
219. Yeah. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
220. I wonder just how long it's been?Copy !req
221. - Hey, Kabru.
- Hmm?Copy !req
222. It's them, isn't it?
They're the ones who stole our things.Copy !req
223. What do we do?Copy !req
224. Hmm…Copy !req
225. - We don't do anything.
- Huh?Copy !req
226. Then why did we bother
coming all this way?Copy !req
227. - I wanted to meet him in person.
- Huh?Copy !req
228. I doubt there's any point
in asking about the jewels.Copy !req
229. There wasn't any guilt on his face
when he saw us.Copy !req
230. So either he forgot,
we blamed the wrong people,Copy !req
231. the jewels themselves were a trap
from the beginning,Copy !req
232. or all of the above.Copy !req
233. Did we come here for nothing?Copy !req
234. Not at all.Copy !req
235. Give me more time to observe.Copy !req
236. Aren't you curious
about how their party got this far?Copy !req
237. Or what they might be planning to do next?Copy !req
238. Because I am.Copy !req
239. So, I'm assuming
you guys have been on this floorCopy !req
240. for a while now, huh?Copy !req
241. That's right.Copy !req
242. We've been going in circles,
trying to get out,Copy !req
243. but we keep getting turned around.Copy !req
244. We got pretty lost in this place too.Copy !req
245. Lucky for us, Chilchuck discovered
a pattern to the changes,Copy !req
246. and that's how we managed
to make it this far.Copy !req
247. That so?Copy !req
248. This is unrelated, but… wow, Shuro.Copy !req
249. You're more depraved than I thought!Copy !req
250. Are they your "other plans"?Copy !req
251. You've been busy, huh?Copy !req
252. They're merely family.Copy !req
253. But they're skilled at fighting.Copy !req
254. I'm sorry I left the party.Copy !req
255. You see, once I realized
she wasn't on the surface,Copy !req
256. I did what I thought would be the best wayCopy !req
257. for me to get back into the dungeon,Copy !req
258. so I could start searching for her.Copy !req
259. My apologies.Copy !req
260. It's fine. We understand.Copy !req
261. Although… I'm surprised
that you went back in immediately.Copy !req
262. Don't you think that was a bit rash?Copy !req
263. What if somebody were to get hurt again?Copy !req
264. It must've crossed your mind.Copy !req
265. Well, for your information…Copy !req
266. the four of us were able to defeat
the Red Dragon!Copy !req
267. Wait, the Red Dragon?Copy !req
268. And where… where is…Copy !req
269. Shuro!Copy !req
270. My lord!Copy !req
271. My lord, I'm begging you.
Please eat a meal and get proper sleep!Copy !req
272. At this rate,
your body will not last long!Copy !req
273. You've been pushing yourself that hard?Copy !req
274. Laios, anyone with eyes can see
that he's not doing well.Copy !req
275. Eating a good meal
and getting rest is really important.Copy !req
276. I have… no time for such things.Copy !req
277. Shuro, you shouldn't just eat food
when you have the time.Copy !req
278. To have the energy
to do what you wanna do,Copy !req
279. you need to eat and sleep
when your body tells you that you need it.Copy !req
280. Let's eat something.Copy !req
281. While we do,
I can fill you in on what's happened.Copy !req
282. All right then.Copy !req
283. Can you prepare a meal for us, Maizuru?Copy !req
284. It's mealtime! Let us begin preparing!Copy !req
285. - Tade, you go fetch some water!
- Okay!Copy !req
286. Hien, Benichidori,
you two start preparing the rice.Copy !req
287. - And Asebi, your job is…
- Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm?Copy !req
288. …to protect our lord from harm.Copy !req
289. Can't have you
adding strange things to the food.Copy !req
290. I'll go start lighting a fire for you all.Copy !req
291. Oh, my, so thoughtful.Copy !req
292. I'll leave that to you then, Dwarf.Copy !req
293. Food time!Copy !req
294. - Yummy food! Let's eat!
- Hmm…Copy !req
295. There sure are a lot of people here.Copy !req
296. It's not good to have this many people
all in one place.Copy !req
297. We should split into three groups.Copy !req
298. Hmm. Very well.Copy !req
299. - O-Rin!
- Huh?Copy !req
300. - Dwarf!
- Hmm.Copy !req
301. - Frog girl!
- Frog?Copy !req
302. If you're capable of magic,
then provide us with a barrier.Copy !req
303. It's to prevent monsters
from disturbing our lord's meal.Copy !req
304. Pleasure to meet you, Miss Frog.Copy !req
305. Oh, same.Copy !req
306. All right, let's step away from the group.Copy !req
307. Then I'll tell you
everything we've been up to.Copy !req
308. - Let me help.
- Thanks.Copy !req
309. - So much to do, so little time!
- Uh…Copy !req
310. In this situation,
I think the person in the most danger is…Copy !req
311. Monsters are yummy!
They're the best!Copy !req
312. Monsters! Cooking!
Food! Yum yum! Eat 'em up!Copy !req
313. I'll kill you.Copy !req
314. …Senshi!Copy !req
315. I'll come help with the fire!Copy !req
316. Hey, aren't you overdoing it a little bit?Copy !req
317. So much smoke…Copy !req
318. I must have him take a bath
after his meal.Copy !req
319. Here?Copy !req
320. Why don't you have a seat
right over there?Copy !req
321. Fine. Now hurry and tell me
what's happened.Copy !req
322. Well, after you and Namari
left the group, the rest of us—Copy !req
323. Stick to the main points.Copy !req
324. We defeated the Red Dragon,Copy !req
325. then retrieved Falin
and brought her back to life.Copy !req
326. But then we were attacked by the mad mageCopy !req
327. and we got separated.Copy !req
328. We decided
that we couldn't do this on our own,Copy !req
329. so we were going back to the surface
to ask around for some help.Copy !req
330. But we got lost…Copy !req
331. You see?
That's why I'm glad we ran into you!Copy !req
332. Please lend us your strength, Shuro!Copy !req
333. Uh?Copy !req
334. Mind if I ask a few questions?Copy !req
335. The one who created this place…
is the mad mage you mentioned just now,Copy !req
336. is that correct?Copy !req
337. There's only been rumors of his existenceCopy !req
338. and whoever actually saw him
never returned.Copy !req
339. How'd you know
it was the mad mage you saw?Copy !req
340. Oh…Copy !req
341. I guess I thought
he talked like he fit the part.Copy !req
342. And how'd you manage to get away
from that dangerous situation?Copy !req
343. That was all Marcille… Oh.Copy !req
344. Uh, she's our magic-user
and she held him off.Copy !req
345. Can you elaborate?Copy !req
346. Well, uh…Copy !req
347. Magic isn't really my thing,
so I couldn't say.Copy !req
348. Oh, I see.Copy !req
349. - May I ask something too, Laios?
- Hmm?Copy !req
350. Did I see you eating a brick earlier?Copy !req
351. No, no, no.Copy !req
352. It wasn't a brick.Copy !req
353. We were eating part of a wall
that was made of Dungeon Cleaners.Copy !req
354. We left almost everything behind,
including food and money, remember?Copy !req
355. So for us to traverse the dungeon faster,Copy !req
356. we've been eating monsters
this entire time.Copy !req
357. That's…Copy !req
358. Hmm?Copy !req
359. That's actually really interesting!Copy !req
360. Well? What's the most delicious thing
you've had so far?Copy !req
361. Man, I don't know. That's a hard one.Copy !req
362. Kelpie, Living Armor…Copy !req
363. You know what? Might be the Red Dragon!Copy !req
364. - Huh?
- No way!Copy !req
365. You ate the Red DragonCopy !req
366. - that ate your sister?
- Yeah.Copy !req
367. You said Living Armor,
what's even edible on it?Copy !req
368. That's an excellent question!Copy !req
369. It's actually a mollusk creature
that uses the armor as a shellCopy !req
370. just like this sword.Copy !req
371. The Cleaners are eating Kensuke!Copy !req
372. Can't be too careful.Copy !req
373. By the way,
if you're interested in monster meals,Copy !req
374. we can talk about it whenever.Copy !req
375. Wow, I appreciate that!Copy !req
376. Oh, no.
He's actually serious about this.Copy !req
377. Anyway…Copy !req
378. you had mentioned
that you resurrected Falin.Copy !req
379. Was she safe the last time you saw her?Copy !req
380. Uh… yeah.Copy !req
381. Do you know where she might be?Copy !req
382. There are many places
where you can hide on this floor,Copy !req
383. but most of them are in orcs' territory.Copy !req
384. Oh, yeah, the orcs shouldn't be an issue.Copy !req
385. Huh?Copy !req
386. What'd they taste like?Copy !req
387. We didn't eat them!
There were some things that happenedCopy !req
388. and now,
we're in a cooperative relationship.Copy !req
389. Cooperative relationship?Copy !req
390. Technically, it's an adventurer's dutyCopy !req
391. to kill any orcs.Copy !req
392. Regarding where she is,Copy !req
393. it's possible she's on
a much deeper floor of the dungeon.Copy !req
394. The one who kidnapped her
may have taken her there.Copy !req
395. Wait, kidnapped? But why her?Copy !req
396. Uh, well…Copy !req
397. I think telling Shuro would be fine.Copy !req
398. Sorry, but could I talk
with him privately?Copy !req
399. Sure, that's not a problem at all.Copy !req
400. So?Copy !req
401. It's not
that field ration pellets are bad,Copy !req
402. but having them every day?Copy !req
403. I just think you need to have
something warm in your bellyCopy !req
404. from time to time.Copy !req
405. Cheers to that.Copy !req
406. Meals should do a lot more
than fill your stomachCopy !req
407. until the next chance you get to eat.Copy !req
408. You know,
you're quite sensible for a dwarf.Copy !req
409. Our lord's been sickly
ever since childhood.Copy !req
410. His appetite was lacking
and it made everyone around him worry.Copy !req
411. However, no matter the situation,Copy !req
412. he would always eat
the food I prepared for him.Copy !req
413. Sometimes, I'd be summoned to the kitchen
in the middle of an assignment.Copy !req
414. He was such an obedient child growing up
that it made me anxious.Copy !req
415. The only selfish request he's ever made
was the one that brought us here.Copy !req
416. Please, Maizuru.Copy !req
417. There's someone that I wish to save.Copy !req
418. Lend me your strength.Copy !req
419. To think
some Northern girl would steal his heartCopy !req
420. during his training journey…Copy !req
421. What can I even say to dissuade him?Copy !req
422. You really want him to give up?Copy !req
423. The head of the family bestowed meCopy !req
424. with the task
of looking after the young lord,Copy !req
425. so I cannot act based on emotion.Copy !req
426. In that case,Copy !req
