1. I don't recognize this road.
Copy !req
2. This is the way.
Copy !req
3. Are you sure?
Copy !req
4. Pick up the pace! Get a move on!
Copy !req
5. I think we're stuck.
Copy !req
6. Don't push!
Copy !req
7. - Hey!
- Watch out—
Copy !req
8. This open space
is where we fought the Red Dragon!
Copy !req
9. You made it all the way here
on your last expedition?
Copy !req
10. Yeah.
Copy !req
11. For a long time, this spot
was believed to be the deepest point.
Copy !req
12. But recently, they found a door nearby
that seems to go even deeper.
Copy !req
13. It's engraved with a design,
and they think it opens with magic.
Copy !req
14. We came to sketch the design
for the Lord of the Island, but…
Copy !req
15. You encountered the Red Dragon
and were forced to retreat.
Copy !req
16. All right, let's try our luck.
Copy !req
17. I think we were over there last time.
Copy !req
18. I found our gear!
Copy !req
19. It's been ransacked.
Copy !req
20. No!
Copy !req
21. Yes!
Copy !req
22. I found my sleeping bag!
Copy !req
23. Great. My underwear's still here too.
Copy !req
24. Those are things you prioritize
over your valuables?
Copy !req
25. All our food is gone,
Copy !req
26. but everything else seems untouched.
Copy !req
27. Guess it was monsters that did this.
Copy !req
28. I'm so glad.
Copy !req
29. Now I can sleep warm tonight—
Copy !req
30. That's not good.
Copy !req
31. Let's find a place to rest for a bit.
Copy !req
32. I want to organize my gear too.
Copy !req
33. Maybe the snow slows down the Cleaners.
Copy !req
34. They've gotten at my soap.
Copy !req
35. Hey, none of that.
Copy !req
36. Show me whatever you just stashed away.
Copy !req
37. Here, Marcille.
Copy !req
38. Ow.
Copy !req
39. Talk about an untrained beast-man.
Copy !req
40. No wonder they slapped that collar on you.
Copy !req
41. You're called a half-foot, right?
Copy !req
42. I've never seen your kind in the East.
Copy !req
43. I had to come here
to learn about you folks.
Copy !req
44. That odd name for your race.
Copy !req
45. I heard it's because lots of you
got a foot lopped off for stealing.
Copy !req
46. Come on, you two, cut it out.
Copy !req
47. Marcille!
Copy !req
48. Come here!
Copy !req
49. It's a fish!
Copy !req
50. Is there a way to cut out
just this section?
Copy !req
51. Maybe with a magic circle…
Copy !req
52. Right. Want to give it a shot, Laios?
Copy !req
53. I'll show you how to draw a magic circle.
Copy !req
54. How's your mana sickness been lately?
Copy !req
55. I don't get so dizzy anymore.
Copy !req
56. The hallucinations
are getting stronger, though.
Copy !req
57. It's fish I used to catch
on the fourth floor.
Copy !req
58. The water from the upper floors
has flowed down here and froze.
Copy !req
59. Looks like all sorts of stuff
end up in the stream.
Copy !req
60. And now the circle's ready.
Copy !req
61. How do you feel?
Copy !req
62. A little tired.
Copy !req
63. I'll activate it then.
Copy !req
64. Imagine it as pouring water
into the symbols you've etched.
Copy !req
65. What on earth?
Copy !req
66. The ground, it's…
Copy !req
67. A-A monster?
Copy !req
68. An Ice Golem?
Copy !req
69. I see.
Copy !req
70. Hey! Above you!
Copy !req
71. Watch out!
Copy !req
72. Laios!
Copy !req
73. So how do we take this thing down?
Copy !req
74. The only way to stop Golems
is by breaking their core!
Copy !req
75. Their core?
Copy !req
76. And where do I find that?
Copy !req
77. Hey! Where's the core?
Copy !req
78. Hang on a second!
Copy !req
79. Is that its core? No, it's just a fish.
Copy !req
80. There's too much junk in there to tell.
Copy !req
81. Hey! Keep that thing distracted
and buy me some time!
Copy !req
82. I can't spot the core yet!
Copy !req
83. Huh?
Copy !req
84. That jerk better not be making stuff up
to bring me down.
Copy !req
85. The snow!
Copy !req
86. It stopped.
Copy !req
87. Hey, you done yet?
Copy !req
88. How much longer do I have to keep this up?
Copy !req
89. That's good, Izutsumi. Well done!
Copy !req
90. Good. Perfect!
Copy !req
91. You better not be messing around!
Copy !req
92. No, idiot. Check where my arrow landed.
Copy !req
93. Also, I can use projectiles,
Copy !req
94. but I can't do much damage with them.
Copy !req
95. So don't count on me in a battle!
Copy !req
96. I'll let you handle the rest!
Copy !req
97. Oh, well.
Copy !req
98. Now that I know how to take it down…
Copy !req
99. Seems like I'm the only one here
who's actually useful.
Copy !req
100. The rest of you are just…
Copy !req
101. Is everyone okay?
Copy !req
102. It'll warm up soon.
Copy !req
103. That magic circle can get pretty hot,
so watch out for burns.
Copy !req
104. Take off your wet clothes
and dry them out.
Copy !req
105. You too.
Copy !req
106. I'll give you some cover.
Copy !req
107. Laios, can you change on your own?
Copy !req
108. Someone lend him a hand.
Copy !req
109. No need to shield me.
Copy !req
110. But you can't just…
Copy !req
111. It's not like anyone would be excited
to see a beast get naked.
Copy !req
112. What's the big idea?
Copy !req
113. I just didn't want you catching a chill.
Copy !req
114. At least let me count her nipples,
or see the base of her tail!
Copy !req
115. It's starting to get warm.
Copy !req
116. Let's prepare something hot.
Copy !req
117. We've got to thaw this out.
Copy !req
118. Maybe I can melt it over the magic circle.
Copy !req
119. Too close.
Copy !req
120. This is nice, though.
Copy !req
121. It feels like a sauna.
Copy !req
122. It's been ages since we had a bath.
Copy !req
123. Let's sweat it out!
Copy !req
124. That thing comes off?
Copy !req
125. Why am I blindfolded?
Copy !req
126. I'll clean the fish, then use the head
and bones to brew up some broth.
Copy !req
127. We might end up smelling like fish.
Copy !req
128. Thinly slice the mushrooms and Nightmares.
Copy !req
129. Give the Shapeshifter meat a quick boil
to skim off any scum.
Copy !req
130. Whisk the Harpy egg,
Copy !req
131. then mix it in with the broth
and other ingredients.
Copy !req
132. Pour it all into cups,
Copy !req
133. set them in a pot
with the Ice Golem fragments,
Copy !req
134. and heat it up.
Copy !req
135. Look. I made this out of her shed hair.
Copy !req
136. How bored are you?
Copy !req
137. Finally, garnish with Mandrake leaves.
Copy !req
138. And it's done—
Copy !req
139. Hey!
Copy !req
140. You can't just start eating on your own.
Copy !req
141. Wait until everyone is at the table.
Copy !req
142. Why not?
Copy !req
143. I took down the enemy all by myself!
Copy !req
144. I deserve to eat first!
Copy !req
145. Meals begin when everyone's present.
Copy !req
146. Chilchuck, Laios went outside.
Can you go fetch him?
Copy !req
147. Got it.
Copy !req
148. This feels great.
Copy !req
149. Is this guy for real?
Copy !req
150. All right, now that we're all here,
Copy !req
151. let's start eating!
Copy !req
152. - Let's dig in.
- Let's dig in.
Copy !req
153. It's pudding.
Copy !req
154. Sorry, Marcille.
Copy !req
155. Yum!
Copy !req
156. What a waste of time.
Copy !req
157. Hey, Izutsumi.
Copy !req
158. What is it?
Copy !req
159. This is for you.
Copy !req
160. I patched up a torn bag.
Copy !req
161. You can use it.
Copy !req
162. Listen.
Copy !req
163. I apologize for calling you a beast.
Copy !req
164. I've got a sharp tongue.
Copy !req
165. Traveling together
with a bunch of strangers
Copy !req
166. can feel suffocating
and annoying at first.
Copy !req
167. But once you get used to it,
there are perks.
Copy !req
168. You can get others
to handle stuff you can't.
Copy !req
169. - That was delicious.
- That was delicious.
Copy !req
170. Yeah.
Copy !req
171. Hey, are you done yet?
Copy !req
172. Just a little longer.
Copy !req
173. Like this and that…
Copy !req
174. There we go!
Copy !req
175. Ta-da!
Copy !req
176. These are Namari's clothes,
but don't they suit her perfectly?
Copy !req
177. They're hard to move in.
Copy !req
178. It took some time to adjust them.
Copy !req
179. I got all chilled again.
Copy !req
180. I'm sorry, okay?
Copy !req
181. Well, let's hit the road.
Copy !req
182. Wait.
Copy !req
183. These are Mandrakes boiled sweet.
Copy !req
184. I figured they'd make
for good travel food.
Copy !req
185. Hey.
Copy !req
186. Have it.
Copy !req
187. That's yours.
Copy !req
188. I don't want it.
Copy !req
189. Why not?
Copy !req
190. It's really tasty.
Copy !req
191. I said I don't want it.
Copy !req
192. No, have a bite at least.
Copy !req
193. - Try it!
- I said no!
Copy !req
194. H-How mean!
Copy !req
195. Why did she have
to draw blood in this situation?
Copy !req
196. Just leave her be.
She'll eat when she's hungry.
Copy !req
197. Why don't you want it?
Copy !req
198. Because it's a monster.
Copy !req
199. Everyone says that, but how is it
different from eating animals?
Copy !req
200. If you eat monsters, you catch
strange diseases and turn into one!
Copy !req
201. That's why I won't eat it!
Copy !req
202. If eating monsters turned you into them,
it would be a simple story.
Copy !req
203. It's the idea of becoming impure.
Copy !req
204. It's not exactly logical,
Copy !req
205. but I think most people, myself included,
avoid them for that reason.
Copy !req
206. It feels like you're absorbing
something bad in some way.
Copy !req
207. And with new diseases popping up
from creatures close to humans,
Copy !req
208. I don't think vague aversion
should be brushed off so lightly.
Copy !req
209. This is really good!
Copy !req
210. But what did you do before
when you were served food you didn't like?
Copy !req
211. Before?
Copy !req
212. Ugh!
Copy !req
213. Tade, you can have this.
Copy !req
214. Thanks, Izu… I mean, Asebi!
Copy !req
215. It never happened.
Copy !req
216. I don't believe you.
Copy !req
217. Let's go, you two!
Copy !req
218. The blizzard doesn't seem to be easing up.
Copy !req
219. Maybe we should just camp here for today.
Copy !req
220. I'm hungry too.
Copy !req
221. Senshi looks worn out as well.
Copy !req
222. Let's whip something up ourselves.
Copy !req
223. What ingredients do we have left?
Copy !req
224. Nightmares, Mandrakes,
Copy !req
225. eggs, mushrooms, and…
Copy !req
226. What's this?
Copy !req
227. Any fish?
Copy !req
228. No, no more fish.
Copy !req
229. Rice then.
Copy !req
230. We're running low on rice too.
Copy !req
231. Don't you have anything better than this?
Copy !req
232. This is all we've got.
Copy !req
233. Liar! You're hiding stuff!
Copy !req
234. You can't afford to be
a picky eater in the dungeon.
Copy !req
235. You should get used to it quickly.
Copy !req
236. No!
Copy !req
237. I only eat what I want to eat!
Copy !req
238. Listen, Izutsumi.
Copy !req
239. Eating monsters doesn't turn you into one.
Copy !req
240. Has anyone turned into a sheep
or pig after eating them?
Copy !req
241. If a blind person eats an eyeball,
does that mean they'll see again?
Copy !req
242. Sheep only eat grass,
but do they turn into plants?
Copy !req
243. Food and nutrition
are more complex than that.
Copy !req
244. That's why people work hard to experiment.
Copy !req
245. Shut up!
Copy !req
246. What do you call that then?
Copy !req
247. That?
Copy !req
248. A sheep is growing into a tree.
Copy !req
249. It's a Barometz.
Copy !req
250. Why did it have to show up now?
Copy !req
251. Listen, Izutsumi.
Copy !req
252. That's a plant that always—
Copy !req
253. Shut up! I'm sick of your talk!
Copy !req
254. That's it.
Copy !req
255. I'm going to get that sheep.
Copy !req
256. What's a Barometz?
Copy !req
257. Is it some kind of monster?
Copy !req
258. It's a monster all right,
but it's harmless.
Copy !req
259. Although,
Copy !req
260. they do tend to attract carnivores.
Copy !req
261. Be careful, Izutsumi.
Copy !req
262. Who does he think he's talking to?
Copy !req
263. It's not safe to stay here.
Copy !req
264. - Let's harvest it quickly and—
- They're here.
Copy !req
265. Huh?
Copy !req
266. Dammit. Dire Wolves!
Copy !req
267. M-My staff!
Copy !req
268. Hold up!
Copy !req
269. Where are you going?
Copy !req
270. I hate dogs.
Copy !req
271. They're smelly, noisy, and persistent.
Copy !req
272. I-Is that reason enough
to just go off on your own?
Copy !req
273. I left you guys to deal with them.
Copy !req
274. You guys said friends are supposed
to make up for each other.
Copy !req
275. That's not quite what we meant.
Copy !req
276. Then what did you mean?
Copy !req
277. You didn't join in on the fight
with the Golem back there.
Copy !req
278. It's true we left that to you,
Copy !req
279. but not because of personal preferences.
Copy !req
280. Hey, let's turn back.
Copy !req
281. No.
Copy !req
282. I'm catching a whiff of fire in the wind.
Copy !req
283. If I follow it, I can find my way back.
Copy !req
284. Wait!
Copy !req
285. The scent's stronger to the right,
Copy !req
286. but the path looks rough,
so I'll go this way.
Copy !req
287. Where are you heading?
Is this the right way?
Copy !req
288. I'll take the path I want.
Copy !req
289. You should do the same.
Copy !req
290. Why don't you do as you like more?
Copy !req
291. You hate eating monsters,
Copy !req
292. and yet you still do it.
Copy !req
293. It doesn't make sense.
Copy !req
294. Well…
Copy !req
295. It seems the wolves have come after us.
Copy !req
296. Should we fight them here?
Copy !req
297. I can use explosive spells,
Copy !req
298. but I don't have my staff with me.
Copy !req
299. And it's risky to cast them
in such a confined space.
Copy !req
300. Maybe I can stun them with a bright light.
Copy !req
301. I'll run and shake them off.
Copy !req
302. What?
Copy !req
303. Ow!
Copy !req
304. Owie.
Copy !req
305. Ow.
Copy !req
306. Hey, Asebi!
Copy !req
307. You made Tade clear off the snow
from the roof of the training hall.
Copy !req
308. I didn't.
Copy !req
309. Don't lie to me!
Copy !req
310. She fell from the roof while doing it.
Copy !req
311. Unlike you, she's clumsy,
Copy !req
312. so don't push tasks you dislike onto her!
Copy !req
313. You should show more gratitude to us
for taking you in.
Copy !req
314. Hey, Tade.
Copy !req
315. Why did you go and do something
I never asked you to do?
Copy !req
316. You really are dumb.
Copy !req
317. But Tade…
Copy !req
318. What was it she said that day?
Copy !req
319. Never mind.
Copy !req
320. I slipped up.
Copy !req
321. The explosion shifted
the wind's direction,
Copy !req
322. and I failed to notice.
Copy !req
323. Close… your eyes.
Copy !req
324. Close your eyes.
Copy !req
325. Close them!
Copy !req
326. T-Too close!
Copy !req
327. Izutsumi!
Copy !req
328. Are you alive?
Copy !req
329. Ow!
Copy !req
330. Your arm is broken.
Copy !req
331. Can you walk?
Copy !req
332. Let's rejoin the others.
Copy !req
333. Listen.
Copy !req
334. You asked me why I eat monsters,
Copy !req
335. and I've been thinking about it.
Copy !req
336. I have my goals and objectives.
Copy !req
337. I want to help my friend
Copy !req
338. and learn more about magic.
Copy !req
339. So, I'm pushing toward those goals.
Copy !req
340. Along the way,
I encounter things I dislike.
Copy !req
341. Things that are bothersome,
things that tire me,
Copy !req
342. and having to eat things I'd rather not.
Copy !req
343. Individually, none of it is a big deal.
Copy !req
344. But if I avoid everything I dislike,
Copy !req
345. I'll stray further and further
from my path.
Copy !req
346. Just like what's happening to us now.
Copy !req
347. Why did you choose
to come along with us, Izutsumi?
Copy !req
348. Because you said that
if we met the lunatic magician,
Copy !req
349. there might be a chance
to break the curse on me.
Copy !req
350. It's this way!
Copy !req
351. Exactly.
Copy !req
352. That's why you need to be ready
to take a few shortcuts.
Copy !req
353. Izutsumi! Marcille!
Copy !req
354. Are you okay?
Copy !req
355. What about you guys?
Copy !req
356. We were in a bit of a fix,
Copy !req
357. but Laios managed to scare them off,
so we're safe.
Copy !req
358. Most of the wolves
went after Marcille, anyway.
Copy !req
359. Are you hurt?
Copy !req
360. It seems she broke her arm.
Copy !req
361. I'll use recovery magic on her
Copy !req
362. while I set it back into place,
so lend me a hand.
Copy !req
363. You did great.
Copy !req
364. The recovery magic hurt more.
Copy !req
365. I was hoping to harvest a Barometz,
Copy !req
366. but the wolves made off
with the mature one.
Copy !req
367. All that was left was this unripe fruit.
Copy !req
368. Let's try cooking it.
Copy !req
369. There's a sheep inside the fruit.
Copy !req
370. I can't eat that!
Copy !req
371. It's not the same as the others,
ethically speaking. I can't eat that!
Copy !req
372. Yuck.
Copy !req
373. Slice the Barometz ribs
into appropriate sizes,
Copy !req
374. season them, and cook them.
Copy !req
375. When both sides are nicely browned,
Copy !req
376. pour in some wine,
cover with a lid, and let them steam.
Copy !req
377. Run the rind of the fruit
through hot water, remove the peel,
Copy !req
378. then chop it into chunks.
Copy !req
379. Add garlic and stew together.
Copy !req
380. Pour the finished sauce over the meat,
Copy !req
381. and it's done.
Copy !req
382. Here, cat girl.
Copy !req
383. This is yours.
Copy !req
384. It's got weird stuff in it.
Copy !req
385. That's the Barometz skin and shoots.
Copy !req
386. You should've grilled the meat on its own.
Copy !req
387. Barometz might look just like sheep,
Copy !req
388. but they taste like crab!
Copy !req
389. So what?
Copy !req
390. It's delicious.
Copy !req
391. I never knew food this amazing existed.
Copy !req
392. Come to think of it…
Copy !req
393. Tade, why did you go and do something
I never asked you to do?
Copy !req
394. You really are dumb.
Copy !req
395. Tade just wants
Copy !req
396. to be helpful to everyone.
Copy !req
397. Ow!
Copy !req
398. I mean, this place is pretty great.
Copy !req
399. We get three meals,
warm bedding, and baths too.
Copy !req
400. I can't risk being kicked out.
Copy !req
401. I'll do chores and anything else
to show them I'm useful!
Copy !req
402. Asebi,
Copy !req
403. don't lose your way just because
something is a bit bothersome.
Copy !req
404. And Lady Maizuru sometimes
rewards me with snacks.
Copy !req
405. That's what you're truly after, isn't it?
Copy !req
406. Maybe she's right.
