1. I'm back, Mom.Copy !req
2. What's that?Copy !req
3. It smells great.Copy !req
4. That's because it's your birthday.Copy !req
5. It's all your favorite dishes.Copy !req
6. Wow, really?Copy !req
7. Time to eat up.Copy !req
8. See? These are all your favorite...Copy !req
9. ingredients from the dungeon.Copy !req
10. What's wrong, Marcille?Copy !req
11. I had a nightmare.Copy !req
12. What's with this smell?Copy !req
13. It's the same as in my dream.Copy !req
14. Another party is making
breakfast over there.Copy !req
15. They're grilling cured porkCopy !req
16. and eating it.Copy !req
17. I'm so jealous.Copy !req
18. How truly terrible.Copy !req
19. It's just so tragic.Copy !req
20. 100 PERSON SURVEYCopy !req
21. When it comes to meals
eaten by young adventurers nowadays,Copy !req
22. they have bread, dried meat, and wine.Copy !req
23. To build up stamina
for exploring the dungeon,Copy !req
24. fat from meats is important.Copy !req
25. But that alone is not enough.Copy !req
26. Malnutrition is more terrifying
than monsters.Copy !req
27. This may sound like a lecture,Copy !req
28. but that doesn't mean
our meals are perfect either.Copy !req
29. The young elven girl says
she's jealous of their pork,Copy !req
30. but that's because her body wants fat.Copy !req
31. I just don't want to eat monsters!Copy !req
32. And so,Copy !req
33. we'll hunt monsters high in fat today.Copy !req
34. If we can find eggs, that's even better.Copy !req
35. Eggs have all the nutrition you need.Copy !req
36. We should proactively harvest them
in the dungeon.Copy !req
37. Are you thinking...Copy !req
38. Yeah, I am.Copy !req
39. What is it?Copy !req
40. The body of a chicken.Copy !req
41. The tail of a snake.Copy !req
42. A creature said to possess deadly venom
in its fangs and claws.Copy !req
43. The Basilisk, king of snakes.Copy !req
44. Oh, a Basilisk.Copy !req
45. Isn't that great, Marcille?Copy !req
46. You'll get to eat chicken.Copy !req
47. Is that chicken?
Does that really count as chicken?Copy !req
48. Isn't it so cool?Copy !req
49. I used to think it was cooler
when more species are mixed together.Copy !req
50. But with only two types,
they bring out each other's strengths.Copy !req
51. I even noticed the beauty of chicken,
something I used to only see as poultry.Copy !req
52. It's a simple yet profound combination.Copy !req
53. By the way, the Cockatrice
that nests deeper insideCopy !req
54. is another kind of snake-tailed animal.Copy !req
55. I've always dreamed
of comparing its taste with a Basilisk's.Copy !req
56. Why would anyone want that?Copy !req
57. That area is a Basilisk nest.Copy !req
58. There it is.Copy !req
59. Looks like they're freshly laid.Copy !req
60. Let's snatch them up
while their mother's gone.Copy !req
61. They're so long and narrow.Copy !req
62. Hold this.Copy !req
63. It's so soft.Copy !req
64. A Basilisk cry.Copy !req
65. Let's hurry, Senshi.Copy !req
66. Wait, we got to wrap this in cloth.Copy !req
67. It's the party from earlier.Copy !req
68. That's the worst way to run away.Copy !req
69. She's basically begging
to get her back kicked.Copy !req
70. Go and save her already!Copy !req
71. Spread your arms and legs out
to make your body look as big as possibleCopy !req
72. and make loud sounds to intimidate it.Copy !req
73. That'll stop it from coming any further!Copy !req
74. I want to pretend that
I'm not associated with him.Copy !req
75. Basilisks also have a head on their tail.Copy !req
76. It doesn't seem to have a blind spot,
but it only has one body.Copy !req
77. If you bait the heads with an attack
from two different directions,Copy !req
78. the two brains will confuse the body...Copy !req
79. for a single moment.Copy !req
80. How are his wounds?Copy !req
81. Was he poisoned?Copy !req
82. - Y-Yes.
- Laios.Copy !req
83. Senshi says he has an antidote.Copy !req
84. Really?Copy !req
85. I want to use it in today's cooking.Copy !req
86. - What?
- What?Copy !req
87. But this guy's hanging on by a thread!Copy !req
88. Instead of taking the antidote alone,Copy !req
89. it's tastier when cooked.Copy !req
90. Then cook it already!Copy !req
91. First, cut off the tail and feet.Copy !req
92. Blanch it a bit and pluck its feathers.Copy !req
93. It's chicken now.Copy !req
94. Take its innards out
and rub your spices on it.Copy !req
95. Stuff it with veggies
and finely chopped herbsCopy !req
96. and tie up the opening.Copy !req
97. Put a skewer through the meatCopy !req
98. and roast it thoroughly.Copy !req
99. It's done.Copy !req
100. Hurry, feed it to him.Copy !req
101. The meat's overflowing with juices.
It's delicious.Copy !req
102. Sorry about all that.Copy !req
103. You all should eat too.Copy !req
104. Hold on.Copy !req
105. I got to cast a healing spell first...Copy !req
106. This is so good!
I could see this at a restaurant in town.Copy !req
107. It tastes exactly like chicken.Copy !req
108. I heard snake meat
is similar to chicken too.Copy !req
109. Sorry, I'll cast my healing spell now.Copy !req
110. Oops, wrong item.Copy !req
111. I've never had a proper meal
like this before in a dungeon.Copy !req
112. Um...Copy !req
113. It's been three months
since we started challenging this dungeon,Copy !req
114. but we keep getting wiped out
at the same place.Copy !req
115. How do we become strong enough
to cook monsters like you all?Copy !req
116. Well, that's...Copy !req
117. First, improve your diet.Copy !req
118. Rethink your circadian rhythm.Copy !req
119. And engage in proper exercise.Copy !req
120. If you pay attention to
these three things,Copy !req
121. your body will naturally get stronger.Copy !req
122. What incredible people.Copy !req
123. Let's do our best too.Copy !req
124. Reaching the third floor today
might be impossible.Copy !req
125. It's because we took
our sweet time on that roast.Copy !req
126. Apparently, the Red Dragon wakes up
once a month to go hunting.Copy !req
127. That was probably
when we ran into it the other day.Copy !req
128. Then he's sleeping on a full stomach now.Copy !req
129. I'd like to find him
before he gets an empty stomach.Copy !req
130. That's why, Marcille,Copy !req
131. it'd be great
if we could move things along.Copy !req
132. Won't be easy at this rate.Copy !req
133. I'm totally fine.Copy !req
134. I can easily walk more.Copy !req
135. Don't push yourself.Copy !req
136. Let's rest a bit.Copy !req
137. I'm not pushing myself!Copy !req
138. Hey, listen.Copy !req
139. If you try to act tough now,Copy !req
140. you'll just hurt yourself
and become a burden, got it?Copy !req
141. It might be easier
to use a different path.Copy !req
142. But the Big Bat outside
will be in our way.Copy !req
143. I can use magic on the Big Bats.Copy !req
144. No, that's okay.Copy !req
145. What about a secret passageway?Copy !req
146. More traps, but fewer monsters.Copy !req
147. I have trap-disarming spells...Copy !req
148. It's faster if Chilchuck disarms them.Copy !req
149. We're taking a path
with fewer monsters, huh?Copy !req
150. We should secure some foodstuffs then.Copy !req
151. Can't we get by on today's leftovers?Copy !req
152. We only have meat and eggs.Copy !req
153. We need vegetables.Copy !req
154. There's a Mandrake colony near here.Copy !req
155. Me! I know how to harvest Mandrakes!Copy !req
156. Leave it to me!Copy !req
157. Mandrakes are fundamental
in magic and medicine.Copy !req
158. In other words, my area of expertise.Copy !req
159. Everyone, listen to me this time.Copy !req
160. Mandrakes scream
when you pull them from the dirt.Copy !req
161. It'll make you go insane
or even cause death.Copy !req
162. We would get wiped outCopy !req
163. and be one step further from saving Falin.Copy !req
164. To prevent that...Copy !req
165. First, we need a string
and a well-trained dog.Copy !req
166. A dog?Copy !req
167. We'll tie the Mandrake to the dog's collar
and call the dog over from a distance.Copy !req
168. Then, the Mandrake
will be pulled out by the dog.Copy !req
169. What'll happen to the dog?Copy !req
170. It'll die.Copy !req
171. That's awful.Copy !req
172. But also,Copy !req
173. where are we going to get a dog?Copy !req
174. And that method
doesn't seem very efficient.Copy !req
175. But at school, we...Copy !req
176. Can't we use a long string?Copy !req
177. Huh?Copy !req
178. Use a string so long
that we won't hear it scream.Copy !req
179. Then we won't need a dog.Copy !req
180. What?Copy !req
181. I'm pretty sure we can't.Copy !req
182. Maybe because it's hard to pull?Copy !req
183. That scared me.Copy !req
184. Was that Marcille?Copy !req
185. It won't scream
if you cut its head off beforehand.Copy !req
186. That's true.Copy !req
187. No, that's too dangerous.Copy !req
188. That's how I've eaten them for many years.Copy !req
189. That kind of novice mentality
brings the most danger.Copy !req
190. But Senshi actually has experience.Copy !req
191. Have you ever tried
the method according to the book?Copy !req
192. No. I feel so bad for the dog.Copy !req
193. Either way, we don't have a dog
nor the time for this.Copy !req
194. Sorry, but let's learn how Senshi does it.Copy !req
195. If it were that easy,Copy !req
196. you'd think it'd be written
in the handbook.Copy !req
197. But he's right.Copy !req
198. It's not convincing
when I'm only reading from a book.Copy !req
199. I shouldn't have them do
something I haven't tried myself.Copy !req
200. Something I haven't tried?Copy !req
201. Then I'll just have to show them.Copy !req
202. I'll prove that my method makes sense.Copy !req
203. I'm sorry, Marcille!Copy !req
204. I forgive you.Copy !req
205. But since I can't use a dog...Copy !req
206. A monster!Copy !req
207. The monsters in this area are Big Bats.Copy !req
208. They should be asleep right now.Copy !req
209. I wonder if this will work.Copy !req
210. It didn't say how hard you have to pull.Copy !req
211. Big Bat nests can be found
through their droppings.Copy !req
212. Laios's library of knowledge
is actually coming in handy.Copy !req
213. And a place
you can't hear the screams fromCopy !req
214. would be that tower.Copy !req
215. Focus on the target...Copy !req
216. Aire Faum Orbis!Copy !req
217. All right!Copy !req
218. What's that?Copy !req
219. Marcille?Copy !req
220. Wait.Copy !req
221. Wait...Copy !req
222. It really is important
to try things first.Copy !req
223. If anything,Copy !req
224. now I know why Big Bats
shouldn't be used to replace dogs.Copy !req
225. Marcille!Copy !req
226. Did she die?Copy !req
227. She's alive.Copy !req
228. Using a Big Bat instead of a dog?Copy !req
229. What an idiot.Copy !req
230. Hey, Marcille. Can you hear me?Copy !req
231. Yes, I am very well.Copy !req
232. No, you're not.Copy !req
233. She heard the scream.Copy !req
234. Let's keep talking with her.Copy !req
235. She'll slowly snap out of it.Copy !req
236. Why did you do this?Copy !req
237. I panicked when I was told
I'd be a burden,Copy !req
238. No wait...Copy !req
239. so I wanted to stick it to you guys
and make you bow down to me.Copy !req
240. What the heck?Copy !req
241. Chilchuck.Copy !req
242. I felt alone since I couldn't be
of help to everyone.Copy !req
243. The monsters get stronger
as we go deeper into the dungeon.Copy !req
244. The thing I can depend on most
is your magic,Copy !req
245. so I didn't want to use it up
on such an early floor.Copy !req
246. And everyone has strengths and weaknesses.Copy !req
247. I want to rely on your strengths.Copy !req
248. Someone else will cover
for your weaknesses.Copy !req
249. You can depend on us more.Copy !req
250. Tell her, Chilchuck.Copy !req
251. I really think having you here with us
is a huge help.Copy !req
252. Put more feeling into it.Copy !req
253. When did you get back to normal?Copy !req
254. I didn't expect a Big Bat too.
What a surprising catch.Copy !req
255. How about we make some omelets today?Copy !req
256. Is this really a Basilisk egg?Copy !req
257. It's completely different
from chicken eggs.Copy !req
258. That's how snake eggs are.Copy !req
259. Only its tail was a snake.Copy !req
260. Its head and body were a chicken.Copy !req
261. No, the tail was a chicken.Copy !req
262. BODY, TAILCopy !req
263. The color on this one
is different from the rest.Copy !req
264. You're right.Copy !req
265. Marcille got that one
since it still has a head.Copy !req
266. Chop up the Mandrake and sauté it well.Copy !req
267. Cover it with the egg.Copy !req
268. Once it fluffs up...Copy !req
269. It's done.Copy !req
270. The yellow is
way darker than a chicken egg.Copy !req
271. This is the Mandrake we harvested.Copy !req
272. This one uses the Mandrake
harvested by the elven girl.Copy !req
273. You shouldn't rub salt in someone's wound.Copy !req
274. Now, now.Copy !req
275. Marcille's isn't bitter,
and it has a mild taste.Copy !req
276. Yeah, it's delicious.Copy !req
277. The screaming must have gotten
the bitterness out.Copy !req
278. It's basic cooking knowledge
that going the extra mile improves a dish.Copy !req
279. It seems I only sought efficiencyCopy !req
280. and lost sight of what truly matters.Copy !req
281. Thank you, Marcille.Copy !req
282. Your knowledge and book are superb.Copy !req
283. This isn't a cookbook, you know.Copy !req
284. Take this small gift as my thanks.Copy !req
285. You can have the most delicious part.Copy !req
286. I don't want it!Copy !req
287. I'm sick and tired of eating monsters!Copy !req
288. Is the shortcut entrance around here?Copy !req
289. The entrance?Copy !req
290. Laios, give me your sword.Copy !req
291. It's here.Copy !req
292. What just happened?Copy !req
293. Chilchuck is an expert
in detecting traps and picking locks.Copy !req
294. Just so you know,
there will be traps everywhere,Copy !req
295. so don't do anything unless I tell you to.Copy !req
296. What I hate the mostCopy !req
297. are those who get in the way of my work.Copy !req
298. Hold it.Copy !req
299. These tiles are safe to step on.Copy !req
300. What the heck was that?Copy !req
301. I told you to only step
where I told you to.Copy !req
302. Your foot's sticking out by so much.Copy !req
303. I don't like complicated stuff.Copy !req
304. Who cares what you like?Copy !req
305. You've got to be more careful.Copy !req
306. Some traps are connected
and affect other traps.Copy !req
307. If one thing shifts,
all my calculations go out the window.Copy !req
308. Just move wherever I tell you to.Copy !req
309. Such firepower.Copy !req
310. I see.Copy !req
311. Traps come in many shapes and forms.Copy !req
312. Move your foot already.Copy !req
313. Fire traps usually come
as a set with gas or oil.Copy !req
314. Oil.Copy !req
315. We don't need a dwarf roast.Copy !req
316. A roast.Copy !req
317. No, wait.Copy !req
318. Deep-fried food.Copy !req
319. Fried.Copy !req
320. Kakiage!Copy !req
321. We'll have tempura for lunch today.Copy !req
322. Where's the oil trap?Copy !req
323. It's not meant for cooking.Copy !req
324. Half-foot child.Copy !req
325. You are no expert on oil.Copy !req
326. I'm not a child.Copy !req
327. Vegetable oil is simple
and the highest in supply.Copy !req
328. Anyhow, show me the oil.Copy !req
329. I'll give up
if it isn't meant for cooking.Copy !req
330. Fine.Copy !req
331. In exchange,Copy !req
332. promise you'll follow
my orders around the traps.Copy !req
333. I won't help you
if you don't accept this condition.Copy !req
334. I swear it.Copy !req
335. I'll help too, if needed.Copy !req
336. I won't need it.Copy !req
337. Listen.Copy !req
338. We each have our own job.Copy !req
339. Yours is cooking.
Mine is detecting traps and picking locks.Copy !req
340. Marcille's is magic.Copy !req
341. I don't say anything
about your cooking methods.Copy !req
342. So, please stop interfering with my work.Copy !req
343. The treasure vault.Copy !req
344. The excessive number of traps here
must be to keep out intruders.Copy !req
345. They're secured onto the ground.Copy !req
346. I guess I'll try opening one.Copy !req
347. Go over there.Copy !req
348. He's usually the most mature one.Copy !req
349. Having his companions' lives in his handsCopy !req
350. is probably putting him on edge.Copy !req
351. It's open.Copy !req
352. I see. How do we get the oil out?Copy !req
353. I don't know.Copy !req
354. This is the spout.Copy !req
355. Pulling this trigger will release the oil,
but I don't know how much.Copy !req
356. I'll have my pot ready then.Copy !req
357. Pull the trigger.Copy !req
358. No way.Copy !req
359. It's probably boiling oil.Copy !req
360. Don't be afraid.Copy !req
361. I am afraid.Copy !req
362. Don't come crying to me later!Copy !req
363. So hot!Copy !req
364. I told you so.Copy !req
365. Are you okay, Senshi?Copy !req
366. Your finger's in it!Copy !req
367. It's 180 degrees. Perfect for frying food.Copy !req
368. You're the type that's okay with heat?Copy !req
369. The smell and taste
tell me that it's olive oil.Copy !req
370. For real?Copy !req
371. They do say this area
originally produced olives.Copy !req
372. It's not surprising
that it's used in traps.Copy !req
373. You think so?Copy !req
374. Either way, I can fry food with this.Copy !req
375. Oh, right!Copy !req
376. Can we use the blade
from the trap earlier to cut the meat?Copy !req
377. No, we don't know
if it'll fall in the exact same place.Copy !req
378. I'll leave it to you.Copy !req
379. After all, I don't know
how to handle the traps.Copy !req
380. Why should I?Copy !req
381. Cooking is my job,
so you should follow my directions.Copy !req
382. I believe that was our deal.Copy !req
383. I never said that.Copy !req
384. What am I doing?Copy !req
385. I cut the Big Bat.Copy !req
386. Okay.Copy !req
387. Next, go heat up this oil
at the fire trap from earlier.Copy !req
388. What's wrong? Hurry along.Copy !req
389. Cut off the Big Bat's thick outer layer
and chop the meat into chunks.Copy !req
390. Lightly score the meat,Copy !req
391. massage the seasoning in, and let it rest.Copy !req
392. Meanwhile, let's prepare
the Mandrake kakiage.Copy !req
393. When you peel the Mandrake skin,Copy !req
394. it's best to pull the limbs off first.Copy !req
395. You can tear them off by hand
if you unravel them.Copy !req
396. Completely peel the bodyCopy !req
397. and lightly scrape
the darker parts off the limbs.Copy !req
398. Then, we prepare the batter.Copy !req
399. Mix a Basilisk egg into the waterCopy !req
400. and sift flour into the mixture.Copy !req
401. Avoid clumps while mixing itCopy !req
402. and put the Mandrake in.Copy !req
403. How's the fire going?Copy !req
404. How would I know?Copy !req
405. I've never had to adjust
a trap's firepower before, darn it.Copy !req
406. Looks just right.Copy !req
407. When it looks like
it won't fall apart, flip it.Copy !req
408. Got it?Copy !req
409. Okay.Copy !req
410. Is it ready?Copy !req
411. Dang it. It was too soon.Copy !req
412. Maybe the fire's too weak.Copy !req
413. It burned.Copy !req
414. How's it looking?Copy !req
415. It's going horribly.
Can you take it from here?Copy !req
416. The fire trap is your job.Copy !req
417. I can adjust the fire,
but isn't frying part of your job?Copy !req
418. It turns gooey if the fire is weak,Copy !req
419. but it burns if it's too strong.Copy !req
420. That must mean
it's not a trap-related issue, huh?Copy !req
421. Looks almost ready.Copy !req
422. The color turned out nicely.Copy !req
423. It's done.Copy !req
424. I never imagined I could eat
fried food in a dungeon like this.Copy !req
425. It's fried really well.Copy !req
426. We had a good firepower.Copy !req
427. You must aim to fry food quickly
with the right temperature.Copy !req
428. It gets nice and crispy.Copy !req
429. That's pretty hard to do
with an open fire.Copy !req
430. I don't think people would do this
on an open fire.Copy !req
431. I pass by here often, but who knew
such a convenient room was here?Copy !req
432. Listen up.Copy !req
433. Don't try this without me here.Copy !req
434. You'll die for sure.Copy !req
435. I know.Copy !req
436. I can never imitate
your trap manipulation skills.Copy !req
437. It's truly amazing.Copy !req
438. When we go our separate ways someday,Copy !req
439. it's unfortunate that I won't be able
to use that trap alone.Copy !req
440. I guess I have no choice.Copy !req
441. When we have some spare time,Copy !req
442. I'll teach you a bit about traps.Copy !req
443. Are you sure?Copy !req
444. I'm kind of reluctant to do so.Copy !req
445. But you know,
you taught me how to cook, Senshi.Copy !req
446. Bread cannot replace meat.Copy !req
447. Nor can meat replace bread.Copy !req
448. But together, they taste even better.Copy !req
449. Both food and people remain the same.Copy !req
450. Dungeon food.Copy !req
451. Oh, it's just about right.Copy !req
452. Once it's fried enough,
it doesn't fall apart, flip it.Copy !req
453. Got that?Copy !req
454. Yeah. I got it.Copy !req
455. Is it ready?Copy !req
456. Damn it. It wasn't ready.Copy !req
457. Maybe it needs more heat.Copy !req
458. I burned it.Copy !req
459. How's it coming along?Copy !req
460. Horribly. Can you just do this?Copy !req
461. Fire traps are your specialty.Copy !req
462. Traps are my specialty,
but deep-frying's a cooking thing!Copy !req
463. If the heat's too low, it's gooey,Copy !req
464. with too much heat, it burns right away.Copy !req
465. Then it's not your specialty after all.Copy !req
466. This batch looks okay.Copy !req
467. I like the color of that.Copy !req
468. And it's ready.Copy !req
469. I never thought eating deep-fried food
was possible in a dungeon.Copy !req
470. Mm. This came out perfect.Copy !req
471. The heat was just right.Copy !req
472. When you deep-fry,
you do it quick at a specific temperature.Copy !req
473. That's how you get it nice and crispy.Copy !req
474. It's hard to get it right
doing it over a campfire.Copy !req
475. Not that anyone should use a campfire.Copy !req
476. I've been on this floor a bunch
and never knew about this useful room.Copy !req
477. It's dangerous!Copy !req
478. Don't ever come in here without me.
Got it?Copy !req
479. You'll end up killing yourself.Copy !req
480. I hear ya.Copy !req
481. And for the record,
the way you handle traps is amazing.Copy !req
482. You sure know your stuff.Copy !req
483. The day we go our separate ways
will be a sad day for me.Copy !req
484. I can't figure traps like you,
that's for sure.Copy !req
485. It's not all that hard.Copy !req
486. When we get some downtime,Copy !req
487. I guess I can teach you
a little about traps.Copy !req
488. Really?Copy !req
489. This could go bad in so many ways.Copy !req
490. But you did teach me
a couple of your cooking skills.Copy !req
491. Meat cannot replace bread.Copy !req
492. And bread can not replace meat.Copy !req
493. But combine them
and they can be quite delicious.Copy !req
494. So it is with meals and people.Copy !req
495. Delicious in dungeon.Copy !req
