1. It wasn't just a myth, after all!
Copy !req
2. That fallen ancient kingdom
actually existed!
Copy !req
3. This is pure gold.
Copy !req
4. Incredible.
Copy !req
5. Hey…
Copy !req
6. Shouldn't we head back up
to the surface once?
Copy !req
7. If we want to explore,
we should be better prepared.
Copy !req
8. Stop talking nonsense.
Copy !req
9. Senshi,
Copy !req
10. are you sure you have
iron flowing in your veins?
Copy !req
11. Don't push yourself.
Copy !req
12. You wait here.
Copy !req
13. I want gold too!
Copy !req
14. I was terrified
of being left behind, so I lied.
Copy !req
15. That place just didn't sit right with me.
Copy !req
16. And although many of my group
were ambitious from the start,
Copy !req
17. they were acting weird then.
Copy !req
18. Their eyes were gleaming in the dark,
Copy !req
19. and they kept plunging deeper and deeper
like they were being pulled in.
Copy !req
20. Then suddenly, it began.
Copy !req
21. What happened?
Copy !req
22. A-A monster!
Copy !req
23. A giant bird monster
showed up out of nowhere
Copy !req
24. and took out Totan!
Copy !req
25. This isn't just some old ruins.
Copy !req
26. It's turned into a dungeon!
Copy !req
27. By the time fear had jolted everyone
back to themselves,
Copy !req
28. we realized we'd lost our way back.
Copy !req
29. What if we've been trapped in here?
Copy !req
30. All dungeons
have a way out to the surface.
Copy !req
31. Let's keep our cool
and hunt for that exit.
Copy !req
32. We kept roaming the dungeon,
avoiding any monsters.
Copy !req
33. Curiously, when we became thirsty,
we stumbled upon springs.
Copy !req
34. When we were exhausted,
rooms would pop up for us to rest in.
Copy !req
35. Some even got tempted
by a gorgeous woman in the shadows.
Copy !req
36. Eventually, our food ran out.
Copy !req
37. If we keep going like this,
we'll starve and die.
Copy !req
38. We must find something to eat,
even if it means fighting.
Copy !req
39. Something to eat?
Copy !req
40. Even monsters must feed on something.
Copy !req
41. Invar, Brigan!
Copy !req
42. Use your shields to be on guard.
Copy !req
43. Null and I will fend off monsters
with our weapons.
Copy !req
44. Senshi…
Copy !req
45. You stay put
and work on mapping out this area.
Copy !req
46. Let's go!
Copy !req
47. That bird monster showed up again!
Copy !req
48. That damn thing flies off too fast.
Copy !req
49. I-I'll join you on the next food hunt!
Copy !req
50. No, you'll just slow us down.
Copy !req
51. We've found food.
Copy !req
52. Here, have this.
Copy !req
53. Even though I wasn't exerting myself,
I still became hungry.
Copy !req
54. I felt so pathetic.
Copy !req
55. Our daily hunt for food
became more urgent than finding the exit.
Copy !req
56. The bird kept on our tails relentlessly.
Copy !req
57. With each fight, our numbers dwindled.
Copy !req
58. Finally, with nothing else to eat,
Copy !req
59. we had to resort to killing our horse.
Copy !req
60. That four-legged eagle…
there's no mistaking it.
Copy !req
61. It's a monster called a Griffin.
Copy !req
62. Why is it so fixated on us?
Copy !req
63. It doesn't seem like
it's hungry or anything.
Copy !req
64. It probably just enjoys
the thrill of the kill.
Copy !req
65. They say monsters are like that.
Copy !req
66. Don't worry.
Copy !req
67. Next time it swoops in,
we'll roast it whole and feast on it.
Copy !req
68. Here. Be grateful to Anne and eat up.
Copy !req
69. What's up with you,
Copy !req
70. giving the biggest portion
to the useless brat?
Copy !req
71. He's only 36 and still needs to grow.
Copy !req
72. As grown-ups,
it's our duty to take care of him.
Copy !req
73. We can't afford to do that!
Copy !req
74. It's over for us when we can't look after
the next generation anymore!
Copy !req
75. I'm so hungry.
Copy !req
76. If iron really does flow through my veins,
Copy !req
77. I wonder if I can munch on rocks.
Copy !req
78. Hey!
Copy !req
79. You've got a hidden stash of food,
haven't you?
Copy !req
80. Stop it! What's gotten into you?
Copy !req
81. That brat!
Copy !req
82. Let's discuss this outside.
Copy !req
83. You're scaring Senshi.
Copy !req
84. - How many times do I have to tell you?
- Why you! Shut up!
Copy !req
85. The shouting kept getting louder.
Copy !req
86. I heard the sounds of scuffling
and a few screams.
Copy !req
87. Then, it went eerily silent.
Copy !req
88. What happened?
Copy !req
89. Where's Brigan?
Copy !req
90. Stay put!
Copy !req
91. Don't look outside.
Copy !req
92. We were attacked by the Griffin.
Copy !req
93. I took down the Griffin,
but Brigan died instantly.
Copy !req
94. When I looked at Gillin's head,
Copy !req
95. there was a dent in his helmet,
like it had been hit by a blunt object.
Copy !req
96. Let's eat the Griffin.
Copy !req
97. If we clean it and make a soup out of it,
Copy !req
98. we could survive a few more days.
Copy !req
99. The Griffin soup, just boiled with water,
had a gamey smell and the meat was tough.
Copy !req
100. It tasted awful.
Copy !req
101. But I chewed intently
Copy !req
102. and downed it slowly, taking my time.
Copy !req
103. Gillin said he needed to relieve himself,
Copy !req
104. and stepped outside unsteadily.
Copy !req
105. But he never returned.
Copy !req
106. I found myself all alone.
Copy !req
107. I lacked the courage
to peek outside the door,
Copy !req
108. and I was unable to leave the room.
Copy !req
109. I survived on the meat that was left
Copy !req
110. and pored over the maps I had sketched.
Copy !req
111. Eventually, I noticed a pattern
in the symbols etched on the walls.
Copy !req
112. When I finally gathered the courage
to step out of the room…
Copy !req
113. there were no bodies to be found.
Copy !req
114. They must have been devoured cleanly
by various creatures.
Copy !req
115. Later, I was captured by orcs,
Copy !req
116. and held captive
in their settlement for some time.
Copy !req
117. But when I tried to communicate with them,
they turned out to be quite decent folk.
Copy !req
118. In exchange for teaching them
ancient Dwarvish,
Copy !req
119. they taught me how to distinguish
between edible and poisonous mushrooms,
Copy !req
120. and how to handle encounters
with monsters.
Copy !req
121. And that's how…
Copy !req
122. I made it back to the surface.
Copy !req
123. But after everything that happened,
Copy !req
124. I couldn't find it in me
to return to my hometown.
Copy !req
125. So, I lived near the dungeon
or in its upper levels.
Copy !req
126. Eventually, the city on the surface
connected with the dungeon,
Copy !req
127. and many adventurers began venturing down.
Copy !req
128. What weighed on my mind
Copy !req
129. was whether the meat I consumed
truly came from the Griffin.
Copy !req
130. Every time I eat,
I'm haunted by the taste of that soup.
Copy !req
131. No other monster
tasted anything like that.
Copy !req
132. That's why I fled from the Griffin.
Copy !req
133. I'm afraid of discovering the truth.
Copy !req
134. I had no idea…
Copy !req
135. Senshi…
Copy !req
136. Then why not try eating that Griffin?
Copy !req
137. - Huh?
- Huh?
Copy !req
138. I mean, it's awful for him
Copy !req
139. to be haunted by that memory every time
he eats for the rest of his life.
Copy !req
140. If it tastes the same,
he can put his mind at ease.
Copy !req
141. And if it's completely different,
Copy !req
142. well, it's a shame,
but at least it won't plague him anymore.
Copy !req
143. It's going to plague him even more.
Copy !req
144. What's with him?
Copy !req
145. What do you think, Senshi?
Copy !req
146. You're right.
Copy !req
147. I should try it.
Copy !req
148. Senshi…
Copy !req
149. All right then!
Copy !req
150. Let's recreate the cooking
as closely as possible.
Copy !req
151. We'll cut out the meat
without doing much to it.
Copy !req
152. Since the upper body and lower body
might taste completely different,
Copy !req
153. we'll take cuts from both.
Copy !req
154. You just want to eat it.
Copy !req
155. That's some impressive muscle.
Copy !req
156. It's not a carnivore for nothing.
Copy !req
157. Why did the Griffin pursue
Senshi and his group so relentlessly?
Copy !req
158. It might have killed people,
but it didn't seem keen on eating them.
Copy !req
159. They had a horse though.
Copy !req
160. Maybe that's why.
Copy !req
161. Griffins have a penchant for horses.
Copy !req
162. But then why didn't it target
the horse first?
Copy !req
163. No idea.
Copy !req
164. I'll get some water boiling.
Copy !req
165. The Griffin's weapons
are its front claws and beak.
Copy !req
166. It can't leave a dent on you
like you were hit by a blunt object.
Copy !req
167. So whatever killed Brigan
probably wasn't a Griffin.
Copy !req
168. But what about the other three?
Copy !req
169. Just like how we mistook
Falin for a Griffin,
Copy !req
170. maybe it was
a different monster altogether.
Copy !req
171. There are many large monsters with wings.
Copy !req
172. The Cockatrice, Basilisk, Harpy, Siren,
Copy !req
173. Pegasus, Simurgh, and Roc.
Copy !req
174. Which of these monsters possesses
a weapon resembling a blunt object?
Copy !req
175. The water's boiling.
Copy !req
176. Do we just let it boil like this?
Copy !req
177. Should we add other ingredients?
Copy !req
178. No, that's it.
Copy !req
179. It's going to be a bland soup.
Copy !req
180. It'd be nice if we had some garnish.
Copy !req
181. By the way, you mentioned that the orcs
taught you how to distinguish mushrooms.
Copy !req
182. But is this your first time
seeing these mushrooms?
Copy !req
183. Yeah, I've never seen them before.
Copy !req
184. Marcille, I'm leaving the rest to you.
Copy !req
185. - Huh? Hey!
- Huh?
Copy !req
186. You've come this far,
and now you're backing out?
Copy !req
187. So flighty!
Copy !req
188. Fine, forget it then.
Copy !req
189. This won't help Senshi anyway.
Copy !req
190. No, we've come this far, so let me try it.
Copy !req
191. I'll accept whatever truth awaits me.
Copy !req
192. It's done.
Copy !req
193. This…
Copy !req
194. doesn't taste anything like
what I had that day.
Copy !req
195. What I ate back then must have been…
Copy !req
196. You mean…
Copy !req
197. It's fine.
Copy !req
198. A weight has been lifted.
Copy !req
199. Gillin must have wanted me to survive,
no matter what.
Copy !req
200. I'll carry on with that wish.
Copy !req
201. Laios, you moron!
Copy !req
202. What have you done?
Copy !req
203. Griffin meat is very gamey and tough.
Copy !req
204. More than anything,
the aftertaste is just awful.
Copy !req
205. That's right.
Copy !req
206. Senshi didn't eat Griffin meat that day.
Copy !req
207. But it wasn't human flesh either!
Copy !req
208. What attacked them was a Hippogriff,
not a Griffin.
Copy !req
209. A Hippogriff?
Copy !req
210. Unlike a Griffin,
which has the lower body of a lion,
Copy !req
211. a Hippogriff
is a close relative of a horse.
Copy !req
212. It likely kept chasing them down
because they had a horse.
Copy !req
213. Maybe it was curious or in heat.
Copy !req
214. Plus, a Hippogriff
has a weapon a Griffin lacks.
Copy !req
215. Hind legs with hooves.
Copy !req
216. Its kick could tear through metal,
leaving a sizable hole.
Copy !req
217. I assure you, Senshi!
Copy !req
218. If what you had that day was a Hippogriff,
Copy !req
219. then it's only natural
it would taste different from this soup.
Copy !req
220. Thank you, Laios.
Copy !req
221. I feel a bit better hearing that.
Copy !req
222. Even though there's no way
to confirm what a Hippogriff tastes like.
Copy !req
223. Let's find out then.
Copy !req
224. - Huh?
- Huh?
Copy !req
225. Let's compare it to Hippogriff meat.
Copy !req
226. I thought you were going
to wrap it up with something like,
Copy !req
227. "The truth remains uncertain,
but now there's a glimmer of hope."
Copy !req
228. I mean, where would we
even find a Hippogriff?
Copy !req
229. Well,
Copy !req
230. we have a Hippogriff right here!
Copy !req
231. There must have been reports of one
in this dungeon in the past.
Copy !req
232. So why didn't we notice them?
Copy !req
233. Because we were fighting a Griffin
that shouldn't even be in this dungeon.
Copy !req
234. Why is that?
Copy !req
235. Because the presence
of an accomplice complicated things.
Copy !req
236. An accomplice?
Copy !req
237. Changelings.
Copy !req
238. Now that I think about it,
that legend comes from your hometown.
Copy !req
239. Ever heard of Changeling Children?
Copy !req
240. It's a phenomenon
where children are swapped with monsters.
Copy !req
241. A child who goes to play in the woods
returns home as an identical troll.
Copy !req
242. For a long time, they were believed
to be a type of magic.
Copy !req
243. But recently,
Copy !req
244. it's been discovered that it's the work
of these mushroom-like monsters.
Copy !req
245. Those who step into a ring of them
undergo a subtle change.
Copy !req
246. Once people learned about this,
Copy !req
247. they eradicated the mushrooms,
and now they're rare.
Copy !req
248. To think we'd find them growing here.
Copy !req
249. The way the Griffin seized Senshi
but didn't eat him.
Copy !req
250. The sharp kick that killed the Familiar.
Copy !req
251. It's likely that
the Griffin we fought was actually…
Copy !req
252. Let's find out.
Copy !req
253. Place Griffin meat
inside a Changeling fairy ring.
Copy !req
254. The meat looks different.
Copy !req
255. It's marbled with fat and looks delicious.
Copy !req
256. All right, let's make soup from this.
Copy !req
257. S-Senshi?
Copy !req
258. W-Well, flavors can vary depending on
conditions and environments,
Copy !req
259. so I wouldn't worry about it…
Copy !req
260. No. That's not it.
Copy !req
261. I've been wanting
Copy !req
262. to taste this soup again for a long time.
Copy !req
263. Thank you, everyone.
Copy !req
264. Thank you.
Copy !req
265. Living in this dungeon for a long time
has made me realize something.
Copy !req
266. This dungeon responds strongly
to a person's desires,
Copy !req
267. whether it's wealth, knowledge, or fame.
Copy !req
268. It's accommodating to those like orcs
who don't seek anything from it.
Copy !req
269. But the moment you desire something,
it shows its fangs.
Copy !req
270. From now on,
Copy !req
271. not only will you aim to rescue Falin,
but you'll also be searching
Copy !req
272. for the lunatic magician
and the Winged Lion.
Copy !req
273. The dungeon's response
will become even more severe.
Copy !req
274. Still,
Copy !req
275. there are many things I want to teach you.
Copy !req
276. Will you take me with you?
Copy !req
277. Of course!
Copy !req
278. Okay, everyone!
Copy !req
279. Let's get going!
Copy !req
280. How are you all feeling?
Copy !req
281. I'm feeling cold.
Copy !req
282. I might not make it.
Copy !req
283. This has to be food poisoning, right?
Copy !req
284. I mean, we've eaten all sorts of things.
Copy !req
285. But we can't afford to die here.
Copy !req
286. Falin…
Copy !req
287. How long was I out?
Copy !req
288. I feel lighter.
Copy !req
289. Has the food poisoning passed?
Copy !req
290. Good.
Copy !req
291. I was afraid that…
Copy !req
292. What's going on?
Copy !req
293. Marcille.
Copy !req
294. Look at me.
Copy !req
295. Does my body look strange to you?
Copy !req
296. Marcille has shrunk too!
Copy !req
297. Senshi, this is bad!
Copy !req
298. Wake up! Sen—
Copy !req
299. W-Who are you?
Copy !req
300. What's with all the racket?
Copy !req
301. Chil…
Copy !req
302. Chilchuck, sir?
Copy !req
303. It looks like
we stepped on some Changelings.
Copy !req
304. H-How is this even possible?
Copy !req
305. They transformed a Griffin
into a Hippogriff.
Copy !req
306. They could do this to people.
Copy !req
307. I'm a dwarf now.
Copy !req
308. Senshi is an elf.
Copy !req
309. Marcille is a half-foot?
Copy !req
310. And Chilchuck is a tall-man.
Copy !req
311. Izutsumi…
Copy !req
312. is a dog.
Copy !req
313. No, I think that's a kobold.
Copy !req
314. A kobold with cat ears.
Copy !req
315. Now,
Copy !req
316. how do we get back our bodies?
Copy !req
317. We'll have to retrace our steps.
Copy !req
318. If we step inside a mushroom ring,
we'll be able to revert, right?
Copy !req
319. That's my assumption,
Copy !req
320. but take a look outside.
Copy !req
321. The path has shifted.
Copy !req
322. While we were laid up,
I couldn't stop shaking.
Copy !req
323. Are you saying it was the dungeon,
not my body, that was shaking?
Copy !req
324. I'm not sure we can make it back,
Copy !req
325. but let's return to the reservoir.
Copy !req
326. The luggage feels really light.
Copy !req
327. Marcille, I'll carry some of your stuff.
Copy !req
328. Thanks.
Copy !req
329. I'm liking this body.
Copy !req
330. I can see well in the dark.
Copy !req
331. I might even be able to beat Namari
in an arm wrestle now.
Copy !req
332. Chilchuck, how's that body of yours?
Copy !req
333. It feels like I'm enveloped in a heavy,
transparent, and thick membrane.
Copy !req
334. So, your senses are dulled?
Copy !req
335. Yeah.
Copy !req
336. But it's strangely calming.
Copy !req
337. Oh, and it's also nice to be able
to look down on you guys.
Copy !req
338. Wait, is this door…
Copy !req
339. Ugh, this is where
we were originally headed!
Copy !req
340. The deepest point, huh?
Copy !req
341. We intended to turn back,
but ended up pressing forward.
Copy !req
342. Someone set up camp here.
Copy !req
343. It seems other adventurers have been here.
Copy !req
344. Do you think
they might know how to fix us?
Copy !req
345. I doubt they ventured beyond this door.
Copy !req
346. They might have already
teleported back to the surface.
Copy !req
347. What do we do then?
Copy !req
348. I've been thinking…
Copy !req
349. why don't we continue searching
for the Winged Lion like this?
Copy !req
350. Huh?
Copy !req
351. The dungeon
doesn't seem inclined to release us.
Copy !req
352. Instead of wasting time resisting it,
it might be quicker to press onward.
Copy !req
353. Of course,
Copy !req
354. once we make it back to the surface,
I'm sure there'll be plenty of solutions.
Copy !req
355. I'm not suggesting
we stay like this forever.
Copy !req
356. That's absurd!
Copy !req
357. Just because you've become
a long-lived race…
Copy !req
358. He has a point.
Copy !req
359. I haven't experienced
any inconvenience so far.
Copy !req
360. So what if the size of our ears
is a little different anyway?
Copy !req
361. Say we press on then.
Copy !req
362. What's the plan for that door?
Copy !req
363. Everyone's fussing
because it won't open, right?
Copy !req
364. Do you think you can unlock it, Chilchuck?
Copy !req
365. Well, it'd need to have a lock
in the first place.
Copy !req
366. I think it operates with magic.
Copy !req
367. I can sense magic flowing through it,
Copy !req
368. but deciphering it would require
time, equipment, and money.
Copy !req
369. Yaad, what do we do about this?
Copy !req
370. Help us, Winged Lion!
Copy !req
371. - Hey!
- Hey!
Copy !req
372. Hey!
Copy !req
373. Laios, something's sprouting!
Copy !req
374. Kensuke?
Copy !req
375. Why is it growing?
Copy !req
376. I thought the bitter cold had killed it.
Copy !req
377. The door…
Copy !req
378. Do you think
the Winged Lion is helping us?
Copy !req
379. It could be thanks to Yaad.
Copy !req
380. We should thank them all the same.
Copy !req
381. - Thanks, Lion or Yaad!
- Thanks, Lion or Yaad!
Copy !req
382. There! I thought I saw something move!
Copy !req
383. It's a Gargoyle!
Copy !req
384. Here it comes!
Copy !req
385. As you can see,
Gargoyles are moving stone statues.
Copy !req
386. Striking them will only end up
hurting you, so be careful.
Copy !req
387. There's nothing I can do here.
Copy !req
388. I'll back off so I won't get in their way.
Copy !req
389. Huh? Why is it coming after me?
Copy !req
390. Because you stand out the most!
Copy !req
391. You're big, so you should fight too!
Copy !req
392. Don't be ridiculous! I can't—
Copy !req
393. Chilchuck!
Copy !req
394. It's okay! It wasn't a direct hit—
Copy !req
395. Marcille?
Copy !req
396. E-Everything's swirling
with rainbow colors.
Copy !req
397. Is it mana sickness? With just one attack?
Copy !req
398. This is bad.
Copy !req
399. Izutsumi, cover Chilchuck's back.
Copy !req
400. Stay!
Copy !req
401. No, Izutsumi.
Copy !req
402. Don't move until I say so!
Copy !req
403. The loud noises and the smell of blood
are getting her all riled up.
Copy !req
404. If she starts fighting,
she won't stop until she's dead.
Copy !req
405. Senshi, grab the pot!
Copy !req
406. Senshi? Why aren't you holding anything?
Copy !req
407. Because it's too heavy.
Copy !req
408. Never mind. The sword and pot
feel much lighter than usual.
Copy !req
409. At this rate, I can win on my own.
Copy !req
410. Except…
Copy !req
411. how do I put it?
Copy !req
412. This body…
Copy !req
413. is really exhausting!
Copy !req
414. Damn, we're going to lose.
Copy !req
415. Everyone, get out of here!
Copy !req
416. Senshi, carry Marcille
and head behind that door.
Copy !req
417. Izutsumi.
Copy !req
418. Follow this bell!
Copy !req
419. Chilchuck, take this pot lid!
Copy !req
420. Run for it!
Copy !req
421. Oh no.
Copy !req
422. This body is seriously inconvenient.
Copy !req
423. And there's no going back now.
Copy !req
424. It can't be helped.
Copy !req
425. Let's just hope those mushrooms
are growing ahead.
Copy !req
426. This is a genuine dwarf relic.
Copy !req
427. Do those mushrooms grow around here too?
Copy !req
428. It's really hot.
Copy !req
429. Maybe we should start cooking.
Copy !req
430. Now I get why Senshi
always starts cooking out of the blue.
Copy !req
431. This body gets really hungry.
Copy !req
432. I've never seen Namari
randomly start preparing food though.
Copy !req
433. Cooking is perfect for self-reflection.
Copy !req
434. Knead together flour, water,
salt, and egg thoroughly,
Copy !req
435. then let it rest.
Copy !req
436. Meanwhile, combine chopped onions
and other vegetables with minced meat,
Copy !req
437. and mix well.
Copy !req
438. Shape the rested dough into a long stick.
Copy !req
439. Cut it into equal pieces,
Copy !req
440. and roll each piece into thin sheets.
Copy !req
441. Place the filling onto
the rolled-out dough then wrap it up.
Copy !req
442. Keep wrapping.
Copy !req
443. It's strange.
Copy !req
444. Working in silence
is helping me calm down.
Copy !req
445. Aren't we making too much?
Copy !req
446. That turned out really nicely.
Copy !req
447. It's done.
Copy !req
448. The shape of it
is pretty familiar,
Copy !req
449. The shape is familiar,
but the smell is totally different.
Copy !req
450. but it's weird
'cause it doesn't smell like it should.
Copy !req
451. It's kind of odd.
Copy !req
452. You've never had them
with potatoes or cheese?
Copy !req
453. No potato or cheese in them, huh?
Copy !req
454. Back in my hometown, we usually fry them.
Copy !req
455. These are typically fried
from where I'm from.
Copy !req
456. - Let's dig in.
- Let's dig in.
Copy !req
457. Now it's time to dig in.
Copy !req
458. Aah…
Copy !req
459. Careful not to burn yourself.
Copy !req
460. Be careful.
Otherwise, you'll burn yourself.
Copy !req
461. Say that first!
Copy !req
462. Oh, you think?
Copy !req
463. Oh, this is good.
Copy !req
464. Is it just me
Copy !req
465. Strangely almost better than normal.
Copy !req
466. or does it taste surprisingly good?
Copy !req
467. Did changing races affect
our taste buds too?
Copy !req
468. Do racial differences affect taste too?
Copy !req
469. No, I think anyone would find this tasty.
Copy !req
470. No. These are good
no matter who's eating them.
Copy !req
471. Strange, isn't it?
Copy !req
472. It's strange, isn't it?
Copy !req
473. Every region and race
makes their dumplings
Copy !req
474. Every region and race has its own
different ways of cooking dumplings,
Copy !req
475. in completely different ways.
Copy !req
476. yet they all taste delicious.
Copy !req
477. But in the end,
they're all still delicious.
Copy !req
478. R-Right!
Copy !req
479. Yeah, that's right!
Copy !req
480. It's just like us right now.
Copy !req
481. That basically applies to all of us too.
Copy !req
482. Even though we've changed a little bit,
Copy !req
483. Even though some things have changed,
we're still ourselves.
Copy !req
484. we're still just the same person
in the end.
Copy !req
485. We're gonna make it work.
Copy !req
486. We'll make it work.
Copy !req
487. That wraps things up nicely, doesn't it?
Copy !req
488. Well, I guess that wraps
everything up now.
Copy !req
489. Only in your head.
Copy !req
490. Yeah, in your head maybe.
Copy !req
491. Anyway, this place is odd.
Copy !req
492. Anyway, this place is so unique.
Copy !req
493. I wonder what it was.
Copy !req
494. What exactly is it?
Copy !req
495. It's basically
a type of defensive point
Copy !req
496. It's a defensive stronghold
built by dwarves, right?
Copy !req
497. that the dwarves built.
Copy !req
498. Defensive?
Copy !req
499. Defensive point?
Copy !req
500. From when the elves
and dwarves were at war.
Copy !req
501. It's from back when the elves
and dwarves were in a war.
Copy !req
502. Didn't you learn about it in school?
Copy !req
503. You didn't learn about this in school?
Copy !req
504. They competed to develop
more and more advanced technology,
Copy !req
505. Both sides battled in an arms race
to make more advanced technology,
Copy !req
506. which eventually led to a catastrophe.
Copy !req
507. which ended up being catastrophic.
Copy !req
508. Ever since,
the dwarves and elves have feared
Copy !req
509. Elves and dwarves
are afraid of history repeating itself,
Copy !req
510. that history would eventually
repeat itself,
Copy !req
511. which is why they're prickly
about technology in the dungeon.
Copy !req
512. so they've limited technologies
used inside the dungeons.
Copy !req
513. The conflict between races
was especially intense
Copy !req
514. This dungeon, in particular,
is where many cultures intersect,
Copy !req
515. within this dungeon,
Copy !req
516. so there will be a lot of disputes
when it comes to acquiring it.
Copy !req
517. so I imagine we're going to have
a lot of conflicts when elves step in.
Copy !req
518. Yeah, a-about that.
Copy !req
519. Yeah, well, regarding that.
Copy !req
520. If we run into trouble with the elves,
you can do something about it, right?
Copy !req
521. If the elves happen to come after us,
Copy !req
522. you'll be able to do something
to fix it, right?
Copy !req
523. Huh? Wait, why me?
Copy !req
524. Huh? Why me?
Copy !req
525. You must have connections.
Copy !req
526. You said your mom worked at the court.
Copy !req
527. Your mother was a court magician.
Copy !req
528. You told us that, didn't you?
Copy !req
529. Don't you have connections?
Copy !req
530. W-Well…
Copy !req
531. I mean, yeah, I did, but…
Copy !req
532. Calm down.
Copy !req
533. Now, now.
Copy !req
534. Either way,
she's a half-foot at the moment.
Copy !req
535. Anyway, she's a half-foot now.
Copy !req
536. If anyone's going to negotiate
with the elves, it's Senshi.
Copy !req
537. If anybody talks with the elves, it's him.
Copy !req
538. I shall do my best.
Copy !req
539. I'll do what I can.
Copy !req
540. Let's find a way to get us all
back to normal as soon as possible, yeah?
Copy !req
541. Actually, we should keep searching
for a way to revert back.
Copy !req
542. - Agreed.
- Agreed.
Copy !req
543. - Agreed.
- Agreed.
