1. Now hurry up and drop your weapon.Copy !req
2. Step back and get on your hands and knees.Copy !req
3. You move even one bit and I'll kill her.Copy !req
4. Hey, Laios, she was one
of Shuro's followers, wasn't she?Copy !req
5. Oh, yeah, then she was tailing us
this whole time.Copy !req
6. You.Copy !req
7. Get this spell off me.Copy !req
8. Huh?Copy !req
9. The spell that's been cast on me!Copy !req
10. Hurry up and get rid of it!Copy !req
11. Oh, um, do you know
what kind it is?Copy !req
12. Can't you tell just by looking?Copy !req
13. I thought you knew black magic?Copy !req
14. You gotta at least mention exactlyCopy !req
15. where it was cast on you
and what type it is.Copy !req
16. It's actually not one type
of spell but two.Copy !req
17. My first one is here.Copy !req
18. And the other...Copy !req
19. Eh... Huh?Copy !req
20. Huh?Copy !req
21. is my whole body.Copy !req
22. Wait, does that mean she's a beast-man?Copy !req
23. Uh-huh.Copy !req
24. I saw one of these a long time ago.Copy !req
25. She's what's called
an artificially made beast-man.Copy !req
26. I heard they're made using black magic
to mix human and beast souls.Copy !req
27. All right then.Copy !req
28. I'll do whatever I can.Copy !req
29. This text...Copy !req
30. Looks like it's written
in the Eastern language.Copy !req
31. What's the spell type?Copy !req
32. - Are you really a magic user?
- Huh?Copy !req
33. It's a curse that activatesCopy !req
34. if the caster doesn't touch it
within a set time.Copy !req
35. So was the one who cast this
that Maizuru lady?Copy !req
36. How long until it activates?Copy !req
37. And what happens when the time is up?Copy !req
38. Dunno.Copy !req
39. So you might wanna remove it quickly.Copy !req
40. I mean you don't wanna
die with me, do you?Copy !req
41. I'll let you go if you dispel it.Copy !req
42. I'm not familiar
with the letters.Copy !req
43. But I think I can remove this.Copy !req
44. - Hey, kid over there!
- Oh...Copy !req
45. Huh?Copy !req
46. Bring me something to eat.Copy !req
47. Out of curiosity,
when was the last time you ate?Copy !req
48. If you eat like that without chewing,
it'll get stuck in your throat.Copy !req
49. Shut up!Copy !req
50. How about you let me fix you up
a nice warm meal?Copy !req
51. - Hey! Didn't I say don't move?
- What the...Copy !req
52. Whoa!Copy !req
53. Don't underestimate—Copy !req
54. All I'm gonna do is whip up
something warm for your belly.Copy !req
55. That's all.Copy !req
56. If you try to make me eat monster parts,
I'll kill you.Copy !req
57. I understand.Copy !req
58. Hmm.Copy !req
59. If I'm remembering right,Copy !req
60. we picked up some mushrooms
near the Dryads.Copy !req
61. Hm?Copy !req
62. Hold on,
are those little feet it sprouted?Copy !req
63. Probably my imagination.Copy !req
64. Place a pot inside the magic circle.Copy !req
65. Toss some butter in to melt it,Copy !req
66. fry a few garlic cloves,Copy !req
67. and then add rice.Copy !req
68. Add in mushrooms and seasoning.Copy !req
69. Pour in water
and let it simmer for a while.Copy !req
70. Hmm.Copy !req
71. It feels shameful
to be making something this simpleCopy !req
72. compared to the dishes I had been making.Copy !req
73. But I hate the thought
of letting that young-in go hungryCopy !req
74. so I'll do whatever I've gotta do.Copy !req
75. At the very least...Copy !req
76. I could put some cheese in.Copy !req
77. It's ready!Copy !req
78. I'll leave it here.Copy !req
79. Who'd even eat something like...Copy !req
80. - Huh?
- Hm?Copy !req
81. This kid...Copy !req
82. She has no table manners.Copy !req
83. None!Copy !req
84. Give me more! Now!Copy !req
85. Do you think etiquette in the East
is different from how we learn it here?Copy !req
86. Doubt it.Copy !req
87. I've never once seen Shuro
eat as sloppy as she does.Copy !req
88. She was probably
just raised poorly.Copy !req
89. Guess this is new for you.Copy !req
90. Huh?Copy !req
91. Huh...Copy !req
92. What did you do that for?Copy !req
93. I hate mushrooms.Copy !req
94. She's picky!Copy !req
95. This has never happened before.Copy !req
96. Senshi...Copy !req
97. Your spoon.Copy !req
98. Huh?Copy !req
99. You're not holding it
in your hand the right way.Copy !req
100. Hey!Copy !req
101. Get any closer to me and you're dead meat!Copy !req
102. Take that spoon,
hold it properly,Copy !req
103. and pick up every piece of food
you dropped on the floor.Copy !req
104. Argh. What the hell?Copy !req
105. Hold on, stay still!Copy !req
106. You shouldn't move while I'm dispelling!Copy !req
107. This is how you hold a spoon.Copy !req
108. I... I can hold it how I want!Copy !req
109. And this is the easiest way
for me to do it!Copy !req
110. I'm sure it is.Copy !req
111. Being forced to hold something
in a way you're not used toCopy !req
112. must be vexing.Copy !req
113. But still—Copy !req
114. Senshi, behind you!Copy !req
115. No effect?Copy !req
116. Huh?Copy !req
117. Paper?Copy !req
118. Senshi, be careful!Copy !req
119. That's called a sujihiki knife.Copy !req
120. It's a type of carving knife
used to finely slice meat.Copy !req
121. The length of the blade is long and sharp.Copy !req
122. While it may look intimidating,Copy !req
123. it's actually delicate.Copy !req
124. Now, what do you think would happen
if you swung itCopy !req
125. while gripping it like that?Copy !req
126. Senshi!Copy !req
127. As you can see,Copy !req
128. the tool's ability isn't used
to its fullestCopy !req
129. which can put you at a disadvantage.Copy !req
130. Senshi!Copy !req
131. Now, Laios!Copy !req
132. Cat girl, you're not
hurt anywhere, are you?Copy !req
133. I probably startled you
and I'm sorry about that,Copy !req
134. but there are reasons
why there's good and bad waysCopy !req
135. to hold even the simplest of tools.Copy !req
136. And I'd like you to keep that in mind.Copy !req
137. Also, keep in mind you can't move
while having something dispelled.Copy !req
138. If it were something worse,
who knows what could've happened?Copy !req
139. Hm.Copy !req
140. Looks like your food
already got cold.Copy !req
141. Let me warm it up for you real quick.Copy !req
142. All right.Copy !req
143. So why were you even following us?Copy !req
144. This curse on my body,Copy !req
145. I've been looking for a way to remove it
for a really long time.Copy !req
146. I eventually figured out
that the curse is tied to black magic.Copy !req
147. But wasn't able to find a magic user
who specialized in it.Copy !req
148. Not until we ran into
that long-ear anyway.Copy !req
149. Black—
Uh, ancient magic has several types.Copy !req
150. The one that I'm researching deals
with drawing energy from a different—Copy !req
151. No excuses!Copy !req
152. I know you're capable of it!Copy !req
153. I've seen living proof
of your work after all!Copy !req
154. You've combined a person and a monster
with your black magic!Copy !req
155. And you guys are going deeper
into the dungeonCopy !req
156. so you can remove the curse
on that woman, aren't you?Copy !req
157. In other words, that must mean
you know of a way to get rid of it!Copy !req
158. So then, you should be able
to break my curse too, right?Copy !req
159. Remove this beast's soulCopy !req
160. that possessed me
so I can finally be free!Copy !req
161. I'm sorry.Copy !req
162. But that's just not something
I can do for you.Copy !req
163. Huh?Copy !req
164. There are lots of things
we still don't know about souls.Copy !req
165. But they're often compared to an egg.Copy !req
166. Usually,
a soul is inside the body, or shell,Copy !req
167. but once the body breaks,
the insides spill outCopy !req
168. and can't be put back together again.Copy !req
169. A spell has been cast over this dungeonCopy !req
170. that creates a thick membrane
on the inside of the shell,Copy !req
171. so even if the soul gets damaged,
it won't leave.Copy !req
172. In your and Falin's cases, at the moment,Copy !req
173. there are two souls inside a single shell.Copy !req
174. Once two souls
are mixed together,Copy !req
175. it's impossible to go back
to how they were before.Copy !req
176. I already knew all that,
but to put it so bluntly is harsh.Copy !req
177. Wait. What?Copy !req
178. Then why are you guys still continuing
on such a dangerous journey?Copy !req
179. Well...Copy !req
180. For starters, I can't leave my sister
in the state she's currently in.Copy !req
181. She might kill the next adventurer
she runs into.Copy !req
182. Or they might kill her.Copy !req
183. We have to do something before then.Copy !req
184. Also, if we go back to the surface now,Copy !req
185. we'd get arrested for using black magic.Copy !req
186. Shuro probably will have reported this
to the Island Lord.Copy !req
187. So you're saying...Copy !req
188. I'm stuck like this forever?Copy !req
189. Hey, listen to me.Copy !req
190. This might be weird of me to say,Copy !req
191. but I'm really glad
I ended up meeting you.Copy !req
192. I have no idea what monster
you're mixed with,Copy !req
193. but your speech and actions
are perfectly human.Copy !req
194. Plus, you have no urge to murder anything.Copy !req
195. Looking at it a different way,
if we manage to free Falin,Copy !req
196. she could regain her original personality.Copy !req
197. Just having learned that
makes me feel, um...Copy !req
198. I'm really happy right now.Copy !req
199. - Here.
- Huh?Copy !req
200. This might be different
from what you expected it to be,Copy !req
201. but maybe try seeing it
in a positive light.Copy !req
202. Think of it as a new opportunity.Copy !req
203. The lord of the dungeon
is far superior to meCopy !req
204. when it comes to the handling
of ancient magic.Copy !req
205. If we try asking him,Copy !req
206. it's possible he'll teach us
a thing or twoCopy !req
207. about separating souls.Copy !req
208. Hang on.Copy !req
209. Are you guys inviting me into your party?Copy !req
210. I mean it'll be hard to return
to the surface alone.Copy !req
211. I think I heard before
that your name's Asebi?Copy !req
212. That was just an alias.Copy !req
213. Then what's your—Copy !req
214. Izutsumi.Copy !req
215. My real name's Izutsumi.Copy !req
216. And don't forget it.Copy !req
217. Laios, how long are you going
to keep up this lifestyle?Copy !req
218. Father.Copy !req
219. You need to start living a proper life.Copy !req
220. I didn't allow you to leave home
just for you to become a dragon slayer.Copy !req
221. Come back to the village!Copy !req
222. But Falin is still...Copy !req
223. You can forget
about that girl.Copy !req
224. Huh?Copy !req
225. Do you think someone like youCopy !req
226. could actually make it
in the outside world?Copy !req
227. You couldn't fit
in that school or the armyCopy !req
228. and ran away.Copy !req
229. You don't even have the skills
to explore a dungeon either.Copy !req
230. Your party members
are gonna trick and rob youCopy !req
231. just like the ones
from your gold-stripping days.Copy !req
232. 'Cause you're horrible
at judging people's character.Copy !req
233. That was certainly true with me.Copy !req
234. You would consider me
to be a good friend,Copy !req
235. but I'd always been uncomfortable
being around you.Copy !req
236. You're so annoying!Copy !req
237. We've settled this already.Copy !req
238. Wait, come to think of it.Copy !req
239. Why are my parents even here?Copy !req
240. I haven't seen them in over ten years.Copy !req
241. More importantly, where am I?Copy !req
242. And what was I doing?Copy !req
243. Let's see here...Copy !req
244. I was getting kinda worried
about Marcille.Copy !req
245. She'd been looking really tired.Copy !req
246. Marcille,
we'll take watch tonight.Copy !req
247. So you go get some rest.Copy !req
248. Huh? How come?Copy !req
249. You don't have to do that.Copy !req
250. Don't worry about it. It's fine.Copy !req
251. But what are you— Argh!Copy !req
252. What's going on?Copy !req
253. I'm not even tired enough to sleep yet.Copy !req
254. All right, I'm getting up now.Copy !req
255. I'm not...Copy !req
256. Before long,
her peaceful sleeping breathsCopy !req
257. turned into unsettling groans.Copy !req
258. Marcille, what's wrong? Are you okay?Copy !req
259. This looks pretty serious.Copy !req
260. Is it a monster?Copy !req
261. Yeah, a Nightmare to be exact.Copy !req
262. It possesses sleeping people,Copy !req
263. gives them bad dreams,
and eats their emotions.Copy !req
264. At this rate, Marcille will keep
getting weaker and eventually die.Copy !req
265. Rise and shine, Marcille!Copy !req
266. Don't force her awake,
or it'll damage her psyche.Copy !req
267. When Shuro got possessed that one time,Copy !req
268. Falin went inside his dream and saved him.Copy !req
269. So let's try out that method.Copy !req
270. Hang on, you're gonna go into her dream?Copy !req
271. Someone has to make her realize
that she can wake up from it.Copy !req
272. You simply use the one
who's dreaming as a pillow and...Copy !req
273. I remember now.Copy !req
274. I was trying to save Marcille.Copy !req
275. But this...Copy !req
276. is my dream!Copy !req
277. Looks like the Nightmare
got a little taste of me.Copy !req
278. Well, that figures.Copy !req
279. Man, they really know what people hate,
don't they?Copy !req
280. Although, since I've realized
this is a dream.Copy !req
281. My strongest servant, I summon thee!Copy !req
282. Okay, now, how do I go
into Marcille's dream?Copy !req
283. She's right under my head
at the moment, so...Copy !req
284. That should mean
I can dig down to get to her.Copy !req
285. This is why dreams are the best.Copy !req
286. Though it only works in your own.Copy !req
287. That was a close call.Copy !req
288. I almost woke up
from the feeling of falling.Copy !req
289. Oh, wow.Copy !req
290. This is Marcille's dream, huh?Copy !req
291. It's pretty amazing.Copy !req
292. - Is someone there?
- Oh.Copy !req
293. What are you doing here?Copy !req
294. This place is dangerous.
You need to leave.Copy !req
295. Are you Marcille?Copy !req
296. Who... Who are you?Copy !req
297. It's me, Laios!Copy !req
298. The two of us are currently
inside your dream.Copy !req
299. You should wake up
so we can get out of this, uh...Copy !req
300. What's that?Copy !req
301. Oh, no, it's coming!Copy !req
302. I have to run!Copy !req
303. What's coming?Copy !req
304. Hurry up, this way!Copy !req
305. It swallowed them.Copy !req
306. Papa and Pipi are caught now.Copy !req
307. Papa and Pipi?Copy !req
308. A dream about being chased.Copy !req
309. It's a common dream, but still stressful.Copy !req
310. What was it Falin said?Copy !req
311. Nightmares really love to feed
on emotional wounds.Copy !req
312. They evoke stressful memories or traumaCopy !req
313. and display them as bad dreams.Copy !req
314. Then they feed off the dreamer.Copy !req
315. In order to prevent that,
you need to protect those wounds.Copy !req
316. Huh.Copy !req
317. However...Copy !req
318. It's risky, so don't try it, okay?Copy !req
319. All right! I got it!Copy !req
320. I'm gonna defeat that thing for you!Copy !req
321. You can't do that,
it's dangerous!Copy !req
322. No need to worry about me.Copy !req
323. I'm a lot stronger than I'd—Copy !req
324. Huh?Copy !req
325. What the hell is that thing?Copy !req
326. How am I supposed to know?Copy !req
327. So that's Marcille's fear?Copy !req
328. It seems a little over the top,Copy !req
329. but even so, I don't think
that I'll be able to defeat it.Copy !req
330. If she knew that this was a dream,
that thing wouldn't be a threat.Copy !req
331. I think we're safe now. Oh.Copy !req
332. There's no such thing as safe here.Copy !req
333. No one can beat that monster.Copy !req
334. Huh?Copy !req
335. It'll be okay.Copy !req
336. We're gonna figure out how to defeat it.Copy !req
337. Oh.Copy !req
338. What is this thing
that Marcille fears?Copy !req
339. It's definitely a monster.Copy !req
340. It has slow crawly-like movements,Copy !req
341. several tentacles, and a hearty appetite.Copy !req
342. Not to mention, it's gross.Copy !req
343. Maybe it's a bug?Copy !req
344. Hmm, there aren't many bugs
that large though.Copy !req
345. What kind could it be?Copy !req
346. What kind?Copy !req
347. I know!Copy !req
348. It's a Wurm!Copy !req
349. Wurms are a part of the Dragon family!Copy !req
350. Their atrophied eyes and legs
make them caterpillar-like.Copy !req
351. If they're hungry,
then they'll eat just about anything!Copy !req
352. And they're weak to fire and light!Copy !req
353. That's such a cool thing!Copy !req
354. Good job, me!Copy !req
355. Huh?Copy !req
356. I didn't even hear it...Copy !req
357. Watch out!Copy !req
358. We gotta run!Copy !req
359. That thing didn't
touch you just now, did it?Copy !req
360. It was only a scratch.Copy !req
361. Show me!Copy !req
362. What is this?Copy !req
363. Crap.Copy !req
364. She's even more scared!Copy !req
365. The Nightmare is starting to get stronger.Copy !req
366. What vicious poison.Copy !req
367. What happens if I die
in someone else's dream?Copy !req
368. No, I'll fall right into its trap
if I get anxious.Copy !req
369. I've gotta cheer her up.Copy !req
370. It'll be okay!Copy !req
371. You've got magic on your side!Copy !req
372. Defeating something like that
would be no problem!Copy !req
373. Magic?Copy !req
374. This place became
even more unstable.Copy !req
375. Did I say something bad?Copy !req
376. - I already...
- Hm?Copy !req
377. I already tried using some of my magic
to defeat the monster.Copy !req
378. And that's how she ended up
looking like this.Copy !req
379. She?Copy !req
380. Wait a minute, is that doll Falin?Copy !req
381. I get it now.Copy !req
382. Marcille feels guilty
about what her magic turned Falin into.Copy !req
383. Then defeating the monster must mean...Copy !req
384. The thing Marcille fears is death!Copy !req
385. It's here again!Copy !req
386. You can't just run away all the time.Copy !req
387. You need to stand your ground and fight.Copy !req
388. Huh?Copy !req
389. Don't worry.Copy !req
390. There's nothing to be afraid of, Marcille!Copy !req
391. If you die in this dungeon,
you can get revived.Copy !req
392. Like Falin, she's alive
because you used revival magic on her.Copy !req
393. Besides, you're used
to seeing corpses, right?Copy !req
394. Oh, no, it's sucking me in!Copy !req
395. - No!
- Wait.Copy !req
396. Why is it only trying to pull me in?Copy !req
397. Grab my hand!Copy !req
398. It's not poison.Copy !req
399. I'm aging at an incredibly fast rate.Copy !req
400. Hey, hold on a second, Marcille.Copy !req
401. I can't breathe.Copy !req
402. Something's weird here.Copy !req
403. Is there a living creature
that can do this?Copy !req
404. Maybe it's not a living thing at all?Copy !req
405. Does this mean
you're gonna end up leaving me too?Copy !req
406. No, I'll be able
to run again after I rest.Copy !req
407. Liar!Copy !req
408. Everybody gives up on running with me,
then that thing swallows them!Copy !req
409. Papa, Pipi, Falin, and everyone else too!Copy !req
410. That's why I worked so hard
to study lots of magic.Copy !req
411. But if learning and using that magic
made Falin go away,Copy !req
412. then what was it all for?Copy !req
413. If I could maybe ask,
did your father die at a young age?Copy !req
414. We were at Papa's funeral, then Mama saidCopy !req
415. that when I run,
I go a lot faster than everyone else.Copy !req
416. So that means,Copy !req
417. I'm gonna have to say goodbye
to a whole bunch of people.Copy !req
418. You keep mentioning Pipi, who is that?Copy !req
419. My bird.Copy !req
420. I see.Copy !req
421. So it's not that Marcille
is afraid of death.Copy !req
422. She's actually worried her loved ones
will die before she does.Copy !req
423. You need to calm down, Marcille.Copy !req
424. The more scared you become,
the stronger it gets.Copy !req
425. What am I supposed to do?Copy !req
426. I can't fight it. I can't do anything!Copy !req
427. No, you can!Copy !req
428. Because you're Marcille,
and you're amazing!Copy !req
429. I mean, these books say it all!Copy !req
430. I didn't see anything like this
while in my dream!Copy !req
431. You've been working hard

435. No, that's enough!Copy !req
436. Let's just run!Copy !req
437. Please, stand up!Copy !req
438. How can I be strong
when my magic's incomplete?Copy !req
439. If only I had that book
he was carrying with him,Copy !req
440. I'd finally be able to complete my magic...Copy !req
441. Then go ahead and wish for that!Copy !req
442. If you wish hard enough for it,
you can do anything!Copy !req
443. So don't be afraid!Copy !req
444. You'll do it better the next time you try!Copy !req
445. Don't give up, Marcille!Copy !req
446. Don't go! You can't!Copy !req
447. Please, no!Copy !req
448. No!Copy !req
449. Yeah, that's the spirit!Copy !req
450. Go!Copy !req
451. Wait a minute, is that even how
you're supposed to use that?Copy !req
452. Oh, you're finally awake.Copy !req
453. You were both groaning in your sleep.Copy !req
454. Are you okay?Copy !req
455. I really don't remember what happened.Copy !req
456. I think I dreamt about
being tired or something.Copy !req
457. She's going back to sleep!Copy !req
458. No, please. You have to stay awake!Copy !req
459. My dream?Copy !req
460. I can't remember it.Copy !req
461. But from what I can tell,
it was probably a fun one.Copy !req
462. Looks like my plan actually worked.Copy !req
463. Did something happen?Copy !req
464. Pass your pillow to me.Copy !req
465. Hm?Copy !req
466. Huh?Copy !req
467. What's that?Copy !req
468. This thing is a Nightmare.Copy !req
469. It sneaks inside of people's pillowsCopy !req
470. and gives them bad dreams.Copy !req
471. But there sure are a lot of them.Copy !req
472. They must have been hiding
in your pillow for a while.Copy !req
473. Seriously!Copy !req
474. Senshi,
do you think we can eat these?Copy !req
475. I've been curious
about what they taste like.Copy !req
476. Yeah, of course, we can.Copy !req
477. First, make it spit out any dirt.Copy !req
478. By soaking them
in some hot water like this.Copy !req
479. Huh?Copy !req
480. Another name
that the Nightmare goes by is Shen,Copy !req
481. it's part of the Dragon family.Copy !req
482. It kind of looks like Dragons,
don't you think?Copy !req
483. You're joking, right?Copy !req
484. After melting some butter,
place the Nightmares in the pan,Copy !req
485. and pour a bit of wine
over top, then cover.Copy !req
486. To finish the dish,
add a touch of soy sauce,Copy !req
487. and it's ready. Oh?Copy !req
488. What's this?Copy !req
489. That's me when I was little!Copy !req
490. The dream that the Nightmares ate
turned into a mirage.Copy !req
491. I think I'm starting to remember things.Copy !req
492. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
493. I was running away from something,Copy !req
494. and suddenly, a fluffy dog appeared.Copy !req
495. The dog and I went on an adventure
to search for treasure together.Copy !req
496. It was a really fun dream!Copy !req
497. That's a pretty dirty-looking dog.Copy !req
498. He doesn't look all that smart.Copy !req
499. What's wrong, Laios?Copy !req
500. The way I remember it,
it was a silver wolf and not a dog.Copy !req
501. Oh, well...Copy !req
502. If I was able to help make
her dream fun, then I'm glad.Copy !req
