1. Aw, rats. This one's locked too.
Copy !req
2. Just give me a sec.
Copy !req
3. Guys, we've been walking for a while now,
Copy !req
4. how's about we set up camp here
and rest for a bit?
Copy !req
5. Letting your stomach
do the talking. Classy.
Copy !req
6. It wasn't me, darn it!
Copy !req
7. It figures she's hungry.
Copy !req
8. We've been eating snacks all day
and nothing else.
Copy !req
9. I don't think it's a good idea
to stop just yet though, Laios.
Copy !req
10. The only food
we managed to find today
Copy !req
11. is about a bowl's worth
of Treasure Insects.
Copy !req
12. I say we keep going
and get to the fourth floor.
Copy !req
13. Well, I hear you,
Copy !req
14. but the monsters
are just gonna get stronger from here on.
Copy !req
15. I think it's important
we stay well-rested.
Copy !req
16. Still, you're right, we need food,
Copy !req
17. or we won't have the energy to fight.
Copy !req
18. But to have the energy to fight,
Copy !req
19. we need rest, and now I'm confused.
Copy !req
20. Uh?
Copy !req
21. It's open.
Copy !req
22. Looks like this used to be a dining hall.
Copy !req
23. I bet it was something to see
back in the day.
Copy !req
24. The only ones using this room now
are the undead.
Copy !req
25. Even the rats stay away.
Copy !req
26. Uh, good, 'cause I refuse to eat rats.
Copy !req
27. I wish we'd get attacked
by something other than some dumb ghosts.
Copy !req
28. It'd be awesome
if a roast pig came charging in.
Copy !req
29. Hmph, what are you talking about?
Copy !req
30. We should be so lucky.
Copy !req
31. Wait.
Copy !req
32. We are!
Copy !req
33. We got food right in front of us!
Copy !req
34. It's a Living Picture!
Copy !req
35. Laios, get back!
Copy !req
36. Uh?
Copy !req
37. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
38. It almost sucked you in!
Copy !req
39. I know!
That was the plan and you ruined it!
Copy !req
40. What?
Copy !req
41. Look at all those fat,
juicy grapes she's got.
Copy !req
42. Just so we're clear here,
Copy !req
43. your plan was to eat the food
in the painting?
Copy !req
44. That's right.
It's a good idea, don't you think?
Copy !req
45. - That's the dumbest idea ever!
- Yeah, if you're stupid!
Copy !req
46. You know what it means
to chase "the pie in the sky", don't ya?
Copy !req
47. Yeah, but I'm not after
some imaginary pie I can't eat.
Copy !req
48. If these are Living Paintings,
Copy !req
49. then the pies in them should be eatable.
Copy !req
50. Okay, but you could also
get killed in there.
Copy !req
51. My point is,
Copy !req
52. if I'm in the painting, then I can fight
for the food in the painting too.
Copy !req
53. Oh, whatever. Give it a try then.
Copy !req
54. And if you die, that's on you.
Copy !req
55. Deal.
Copy !req
56. - I'll tie this rope to you.
- Hm?
Copy !req
57. Your rope tugged,
and we'll pull you back out.
Copy !req
58. Now, which painting?
Copy !req
59. Ah, this one looks like it will work.
Copy !req
60. There's food waiting on the table.
Copy !req
61. Right, do your thing, Painting!
Copy !req
62. Ow.
Copy !req
63. - Who are you?
- Uh?
Copy !req
64. Crap. I've been spotted!
Copy !req
65. - Your sword...
- Huh?
Copy !req
66. I've never seen armor like that,
Copy !req
67. but you are a palace guard, aren't you?
Copy !req
68. Uh...
Copy !req
69. - Huh?
- Here!
Copy !req
70. Let's go, there's no time to waste!
Copy !req
71. For goodness sake,
I never have enough help.
Copy !req
72. Hurry now. Stop dawdling back there.
Copy !req
73. Uh?
Copy !req
74. My word.
What a clever-looking boy we have.
Copy !req
75. True. And did you notice?
He has your nose.
Copy !req
76. When you grow up, little one,
you shall become a great king.
Copy !req
77. King Freinag, I'm so happy for you.
Copy !req
78. Don't just stand there!
Copy !req
79. - Hurry up! Bring the rest!
- Uh...
Copy !req
80. - I, um, could use a—
- I have it!
Copy !req
81. Delgal! Your name is Prince Delgal!
Copy !req
82. And one day, you shall be king, Delgal!
Copy !req
83. That does it!
Copy !req
84. I lost my appetite!
Copy !req
85. I'm so ready to go!
Copy !req
86. He wants out!
Copy !req
87. Let's go!
Copy !req
88. Well?
Copy !req
89. I was this close
to eating something there.
Copy !req
90. But then, the mood in the room
killed my appetite!
Copy !req
91. - The what?
- Why is the mood a problem?
Copy !req
92. How do you expect a guy to eat
if the vibe's weird?
Copy !req
93. Anyway, look,
Copy !req
94. I know I can do this.
I just need to find the right setting.
Copy !req
95. Okay, and what would that be?
Copy !req
96. I don't know.
Copy !req
97. Like maybe something more casual.
Copy !req
98. "Casual"?
Copy !req
99. Hey, how about this one?
Copy !req
100. Everyone looks like they're having fun.
Copy !req
101. There's even a naked guy dancing.
Copy !req
102. Perfect! Here I go!
Copy !req
103. Whoa!
Copy !req
104. Huh?
Copy !req
105. You drunken fool!
Copy !req
106. - You are in the presence of the prince!
- Wait!
Copy !req
107. Ow! Stop it!
Copy !req
108. Get off the table already!
Copy !req
109. Leave him be.
Copy !req
110. Today is my wedding day.
Copy !req
111. This man was just celebrating,
not being insolent.
Copy !req
112. Uh, but, Prince Delgal...
Copy !req
113. Delgal?
Copy !req
114. The baby from the other painting?
Copy !req
115. Go on then!
Copy !req
116. Hm.
Copy !req
117. That was close.
Copy !req
118. Delgal!
Copy !req
119. Father!
Copy !req
120. I am so proud
of how fine a man you have become.
Copy !req
121. Here's to you and the kingdom.
Copy !req
122. Oh, wow!
Copy !req
123. Father!
Copy !req
124. Guess I'll grab what I can
and eat when I get back.
Copy !req
125. Oh?
Copy !req
126. - Sorry.
- Your Highness!
Copy !req
127. He needs a doctor.
Copy !req
128. Go and find him!
Copy !req
129. That elf
was in the other painting too.
Copy !req
130. Is he the court jester?
Copy !req
131. Whoa!
Copy !req
132. Check it out, guys!
Copy !req
133. I brought a whole bunch of goodies back.
Copy !req
134. So let's get the— Where the hell is it?
Copy !req
135. I guess the painting
won't let me take food with me.
Copy !req
136. I'll have to eat what I can
while I'm still inside it!
Copy !req
137. That does it!
Copy !req
138. I'm gonna taste Painting food
this time or else!
Copy !req
139. Huh?
Copy !req
140. Huh?
Copy !req
141. Looks like a coronation ceremony.
Copy !req
142. So that prince inherited the crown.
Copy !req
143. I shall pray for the eternal prosperity
Copy !req
144. of the country and its people.
Copy !req
145. Uh? Huh?
Copy !req
146. Delicious!
Copy !req
147. Delicious!
Copy !req
148. I thought it would taste like paint,
Copy !req
149. but this is a real feast!
Copy !req
150. Um, can I have some more?
Copy !req
151. That was great.
Copy !req
152. Man, I'm stuffed.
Copy !req
153. Okay, time to head back.
Copy !req
154. Huh?
Copy !req
155. Hey, it's that same elf.
Copy !req
156. - What are you doing here, outsider?
- Uh-oh!
Copy !req
157. I remember.
Copy !req
158. You were there when the prince was born
and his wedding.
Copy !req
159. What do you want?
Copy !req
160. Are you after the throne?
Copy !req
161. I will burn your flesh to ash!
Copy !req
162. - Too close.
- Huh?
Copy !req
163. What happened this time? You get to eat?
Copy !req
164. I was at a table
with a huge feast in front of me.
Copy !req
165. I ate as much as I could
and got up to leave,
Copy !req
166. then someone noticed I didn't belong there
and grabbed my collar.
Copy !req
167. He was so pissed at me.
Copy !req
168. You did crash his party.
Copy !req
169. I was so scared.
Copy !req
170. Uh?
Copy !req
171. How could I be hungry again
after eating all that food?
Copy !req
172. Oh, damn!
Copy !req
173. I had the best meal
and none of it came back with me!
Copy !req
174. See?
Copy !req
175. - Told you it was a dumb idea, dummy!
- Ow!
Copy !req
176. Thanks for wasting our time!
Copy !req
177. I mean, maybe,
but the food did taste good.
Copy !req
178. I guess this is the kitchen?
Copy !req
179. There's water in the next room,
Copy !req
180. so this should be a good enough place
to set up camp.
Copy !req
181. We could've reached
the fourth floor by now
Copy !req
182. if you weren't goofing off
in those damn paintings.
Copy !req
183. Mm?
Copy !req
184. My gut's telling me
that's a Mimic.
Copy !req
185. The fourth floor...
Copy !req
186. That chest definitely wasn't there before.
Copy !req
187. It's in a perfect spot to get attention.
Copy !req
188. Not too hidden, not too obvious.
Copy !req
189. The kind of spot
those bastards love to ambush you from.
Copy !req
190. Well, guys,
how about we get some sleep here?
Copy !req
191. - Okay.
- Got it.
Copy !req
192. - Chilchuck? Sound good?
- Huh?
Copy !req
193. Uh, sure.
Copy !req
194. Better not tell them about the Mimic.
Copy !req
195. I know Laios and Senshi
would want to eat it.
Copy !req
196. Which means I'll have to open the chest.
Copy !req
197. No, thanks.
Copy !req
198. Mimics...
Copy !req
199. Over the years, those bastards
caused me nothing but grief!
Copy !req
200. Oh, good.
Copy !req
201. It's not locked and there's no trap!
Copy !req
202. I had to pick the lock on this one
so it can't be a Mimic!
Copy !req
203. If I open it from here, it can't grab me!
Copy !req
204. Crap! I forgot there's another trap!
Copy !req
205. Damn Mimics!
Copy !req
206. Are you okay?
Copy !req
207. - What?
- You're all quiet.
Copy !req
208. Is something bothering you?
Copy !req
209. Me? Uh-uh.
Copy !req
210. I bet he's tired.
Copy !req
211. I say we let the kid sleep
Copy !req
212. and one of us
can take his turn keeping watch.
Copy !req
213. For the last time, I'm not a kid!
Copy !req
214. How old are you then?
Copy !req
215. None of your business.
Copy !req
216. Oh, jeez. Why are you always so secretive?
Copy !req
217. You never told us your age
or where you're from.
Copy !req
218. I'd like to keep my work
and personal life separate.
Copy !req
219. If that's what you want,
Copy !req
220. but one day, you'll regret it.
Copy !req
221. - Whatever.
- You grumpity old grump.
Copy !req
222. My stomach's gone soft on me.
Copy !req
223. I used to be able
to go two days without eating.
Copy !req
224. I need more water.
Copy !req
225. Hey, clumsy head.
Copy !req
226. I'm gonna go get some water.
Copy !req
227. Wait up, I'll go with you.
Copy !req
228. Nah. I'll be all right.
Copy !req
229. Okay, but watch your back.
Copy !req
230. It's in the next room.
Copy !req
231. Uh?
Copy !req
232. A Coin Insect.
Copy !req
233. Maybe there's a nest around here.
Copy !req
234. If I find a few more, I'll have a meal.
Copy !req
235. I'm not as hardcore as Laios,
but Coin Insects are good.
Copy !req
236. They're copycats, like those damn Mimics,
Copy !req
237. just cuter.
Copy !req
238. Wait!
Copy !req
239. Don't go in there, the Mimic's hiding—
Copy !req
240. Oh, great.
Copy !req
241. I forgot the weight
of this waterskin made me heavier.
Copy !req
242. There should be a lever around here.
Copy !req
243. And I can't reach it.
Copy !req
244. Should I yell for help?
Copy !req
245. Better not,
the sound might draw other monsters,
Copy !req
246. putting everyone in danger.
Copy !req
247. No worries.
Copy !req
248. Marcille will notice I didn't come back
and come looking.
Copy !req
249. What am I saying?
Copy !req
250. Knowing her, she went right back to sleep!
Copy !req
251. Take a breath!
Copy !req
252. Opening doors is my specialty.
Copy !req
253. I can do this. No sweat!
Copy !req
254. I need to find the mechanism
to open the door.
Copy !req
255. I'll be fine
if I stay away from the Mimic.
Copy !req
256. I don't hear
any ticking noises behind the wall,
Copy !req
257. so there's no time limit.
Copy !req
258. I can tell there are switches on the walls
Copy !req
259. which probably make spears
shoot up from the floor.
Copy !req
260. If I push them in the wrong order,
I'm done for.
Copy !req
261. I bet the words on this plate
are my key to getting out of here.
Copy !req
262. If only I could read
this ancient language.
Copy !req
263. Marcille could, but she ain't here.
Copy !req
264. I feel like I've seen
this kind of writing before.
Copy !req
265. Never mind, better go over what I know.
Copy !req
266. There's three switches
in the corners of the room.
Copy !req
267. Why three?
Copy !req
268. And in what order do I have to push them?
Copy !req
269. There's another switch on the wall
by the Mimic!
Copy !req
270. I'm gonna have to deal
with that rotten thing after all!
Copy !req
271. Maybe there's a hint somewhere.
Copy !req
272. I should be so lucky.
Copy !req
273. If I hit the switches randomly,
I'll get skewered.
Copy !req
274. I'm tiny, so maybe I can avoid them.
Copy !req
275. Nope, too risky.
Copy !req
276. Ugh, I have no idea
what I'm supposed to do!
Copy !req
277. Guess all I can do
is wait till the others...
Copy !req
278. wake?
Copy !req
279. Golly!
Copy !req
280. Oh, crap!
Copy !req
281. Do close calls get any closer?
Copy !req
282. Damn, these things are tough!
Copy !req
283. When you flip a Mimic over,
the way it struggles is cute.
Copy !req
284. With its belly up,
you can see if it's a boy or a girl.
Copy !req
285. I don't wanna hear
his stupid trivia before I die!
Copy !req
286. Besides, how can I flip it over?
Copy !req
287. There's no way!
Copy !req
288. Here goes nothing!
Copy !req
289. Damn Mimic.
Copy !req
290. Hopefully, the others heard me and—
Copy !req
291. Huh?
Copy !req
292. You were empty this whole time?
You son of a—
Copy !req
293. Wait.
Copy !req
294. These letters.
Copy !req
295. They're the same ones
as the one on the plate.
Copy !req
296. I know what these mean,
so I can figure out—
Copy !req
297. Ah!
Copy !req
298. Oh, crap!
Copy !req
299. - "The sun shall rise...
- East!
Copy !req
300. - ... the moon shall set...
- And West!
Copy !req
301. - ... the stars shall brightly shine...
- North!
Copy !req
302. Whoa! The South is next!
Copy !req
303. And the winds of fortune
shall blow your way forever!"
Copy !req
304. Got it!
Copy !req
305. Ah!
Copy !req
306. Come on!
Chilchuck hasn't come back yet!
Copy !req
307. Uh?
Copy !req
308. Chil... Chilchuck!
Copy !req
309. He's dead. It's my fault.
Copy !req
310. I'm still alive, dummy.
Copy !req
311. Ooh, boy.
Copy !req
312. Chilchuck, you bagged a Mimic!
Copy !req
313. Nice going!
Copy !req
314. Thank you.
Copy !req
315. What a fine specimen it is.
Copy !req
316. I never cooked
one of these before.
Copy !req
317. Can't be too hard.
Copy !req
318. How do you
even know it's safe to eat?
Copy !req
319. Don't you worry about that.
Copy !req
320. The book here says they aren't poisonous.
Copy !req
321. But they may have poison in them,
depending on their diet.
Copy !req
322. So without its digestive tract,
it'll be okay for us to eat.
Copy !req
323. There is nothing okay
about anything you said.
Copy !req
324. Don't waste your breath, Marcille.
Copy !req
325. They're gonna cook it,
no matter what you say.
Copy !req
326. Let them. I don't care,
'cause there's no way I'm gonna eat it!
Copy !req
327. First, we'll boil a big pot of water.
Copy !req
328. Then, add some salt.
Copy !req
329. Stick the Mimic in and pop the lid on.
Copy !req
330. Then, wait.
Copy !req
331. Hmm?
Copy !req
332. Huh?
Copy !req
333. Should be boiled enough.
Copy !req
334. It's ready!
Copy !req
335. Ugh. It's so hard
to get the meat out of it.
Copy !req
336. - Try using the other end of that.
- Uh?
Copy !req
337. No good. Just pushed the meat in further.
Copy !req
338. Wait.
Copy !req
339. Chilchuck? Do you mind
if I borrow your thingies?
Copy !req
340. Thingies?
Copy !req
341. Those doohickeys you always use.
Copy !req
342. Your picking tools.
Copy !req
343. Picking tools. Picking tools.
Copy !req
344. Are you crazy? No!
Copy !req
345. Don't worry,
a quick boil should sterilize them.
Copy !req
346. I'm not worried about that!
Copy !req
347. No, don't!
Copy !req
348. That's easy.
Copy !req
349. Here.
Copy !req
350. It's really good.
Copy !req
351. Yeah,
this Mimic sure is delicious.
Copy !req
352. I wonder how the meat from the body
and the leg taste together.
Copy !req
353. Pretty dang awful.
Copy !req
354. Yeah, I heard
the crustacean's midgut was icky.
Copy !req
355. Mm.
Copy !req
356. If you knew the Mimic was in there,
why didn't you tell us?
Copy !req
357. I've had nothing
but bad experiences with them.
Copy !req
358. The last thing I wanted to do
was have to deal with another one.
Copy !req
359. Anyway, I made a lot of bad decisions.
Copy !req
360. The first was panicking,
Copy !req
361. 'cause I thought it would eat
the Treasure Insect.
Copy !req
362. But Mimics don't eat Treasure Insects.
Copy !req
363. Huh?
Copy !req
364. Yeah. Treasure Insects eat Mimics.
Copy !req
365. When it finds a Mimic,
Copy !req
366. it crawls through an opening in the chest
and lays its eggs.
Copy !req
367. Then, when the eggs hatch,
the larvae eat the Mimic.
Copy !req
368. When they mature, they look like treasure.
Copy !req
369. Someone comes along,
picks them up, and boom,
Copy !req
370. they're free to find more Mimics.
Copy !req
371. I hate that you know that.
Copy !req
372. And stop coddling me! I'm not a kid!
Copy !req
373. Tell me how old you are
and I'll never do it again.
Copy !req
374. What happened to you today
Copy !req
375. happened 'cause you insist
on being secretive.
Copy !req
376. So, come on now,
and tell me how old you are!
Copy !req
377. Fine.
Copy !req
378. Oh?
Copy !req
379. I'm turning 29 this year.
Copy !req
380. Ah, you're just a kid after all.
I knew it.
Copy !req
381. And I thought
you were way older than that.
Copy !req
382. Okay, then, how old are you guys?
Copy !req
383. Everyone's a kid
to you races with long lives!
Copy !req
384. What's your problem?
Copy !req
385. Should I call you... "sir"?
Copy !req
386. No! Just call me by my name!
Copy !req
387. Today's meal was another monster,
Copy !req
388. but tomorrow, they might be the meal.
Copy !req
389. Ah, dungeon food.
Copy !req
390. Delicious in dungeon.
Copy !req
391. Uh?
Copy !req
