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

447. I never imagined I could eat
fried food in a dungeon like this.Copy !req
448. I never thought eating deep-fried food
was possible in a dungeon.Copy !req
449. Mm. This came out perfect.Copy !req
450. It's fried really well.Copy !req
451. We had a good firepower.Copy !req
452. The heat was just right.Copy !req
453. When you deep-fry,
you do it quick at a specific temperature.Copy !req
454. You must aim to fry food quickly
with the right temperature.Copy !req
455. That's how you get it nice and crispy.Copy !req
456. It gets nice and crispy.Copy !req
457. It's hard to get it right
doing it over a campfire.Copy !req
458. That's pretty hard to do
with an open fire.Copy !req
459. Not that anyone should use a campfire.Copy !req
460. I don't think people would do this
on an open fire.Copy !req
461. I pass by here often, but who knew
such a convenient room was here?Copy !req
462. I've been on this floor a bunch
and never knew about this useful room.Copy !req
463. Listen up.Copy !req
464. It's dangerous!Copy !req
465. Don't ever come in here without me.
Got it?Copy !req
466. Don't try this without me here.Copy !req
467. You'll end up killing yourself.Copy !req
468. You'll die for sure.Copy !req
469. I know.Copy !req
470. I hear ya.Copy !req
471. I can never imitate
your trap manipulation skills.Copy !req
472. And for the record,
the way you handle traps is amazing.Copy !req
473. It's truly amazing.Copy !req
474. You sure know your stuff.Copy !req
475. When we go our separate ways someday,Copy !req
476. The day we go our separate ways
will be a sad day for me.Copy !req
477. it's unfortunate that I won't be able
to use that trap alone.Copy !req
478. I can't figure traps like you,
that's for sure.Copy !req
479. It's not all that hard.Copy !req
480. I guess I have no choice.Copy !req
481. When we have some spare time,Copy !req
482. When we get some downtime,Copy !req
483. I guess I can teach you
a little about traps.Copy !req
484. I'll teach you a bit about traps.Copy !req
485. Are you sure?Copy !req
486. Really?Copy !req
487. I'm kind of reluctant to do so.Copy !req
488. This could go bad in so many ways.Copy !req
489. But you know,
you taught me how to cook, Senshi.Copy !req
490. But you did teach me
a couple of your cooking skills.Copy !req
491. Bread cannot replace meat.Copy !req
492. Meat cannot replace bread.Copy !req
493. Nor can meat replace bread.Copy !req
494. And bread can not replace meat.Copy !req
495. But together, they taste even better.Copy !req
496. But combine them
and they can be quite delicious.Copy !req
497. So it is with meals and people.Copy !req
498. Both food and people remain the same.Copy !req
499. Delicious in dungeon.Copy !req
500. Dungeon food.Copy !req
