ORIGINAL WORK BY RYOKO KUI
2
00:00:04,713 --> 00:00:07,007
It all started in a small village.
3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,763
One day, a rumble in the ground
caused a rift under the cemetery,
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,599
from which a single man appeared.
5
00:00:16,224 --> 00:00:20,353
He claimed to be the king
of a once prosperous kingdom.
6
00:00:21,563 --> 00:00:23,899
He states that the once glorious land
7
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:26,860
continues to be held captive
deep underground
8
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:29,613
by the hands of a mad magician.
9
00:00:30,614 --> 00:00:32,532
To whomever defeats this magician,
10
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:34,785
he offers everything his kingdom has.
11
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:39,706
After he imparts these words,
he turns to dust and vanishes.
12
00:00:45,128 --> 00:00:49,007
DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
13
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:01,228
Keep it up, everyone.
14
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:03,146
We've only got a bit left
after this dragon.
15
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:05,148
Let's go!
16
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:06,900
We're completely prepared.
17
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:09,152
Nothing can get in our way.
18
00:01:14,491 --> 00:01:15,742
That's not true.
19
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:18,495
We're hungry.
20
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:23,250
Everyone's movements lack
their usual edge.
21
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:28,088
We lost a day roaming around
due to a misprint on our map.
22
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:31,383
We walked into a trap
and lost three days' worth of food.
23
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:40,767
It's bothersome, but we should turn back
for a bit after defeating the dragon.
24
00:01:40,851 --> 00:01:41,977
Laios!
25
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:43,728
What happened, Falin?
26
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,981
Did they cast a confusion spell on you?
27
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:49,484
Wh…
28
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:53,029
What?
29
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:55,490
You're kidding me.
30
00:01:56,324 --> 00:01:59,244
We're all dead?
We're so deep in the dungeon.
31
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:03,248
R-Run.
32
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:16,136
Laios.
33
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:21,600
You're awake.
34
00:02:22,434 --> 00:02:26,188
It looks like a magic spell
got us out of the dungeon,
35
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,149
but Falin's the only one we can't find.
36
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:33,987
She was eaten.
37
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:34,988
What?
38
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:38,200
Her magic didn't work
from inside the dragon's stomach.
39
00:02:39,201 --> 00:02:40,660
That can't be.
40
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:42,370
She's probably still in the dungeon.
41
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:43,955
Let's go now to save her.
42
00:02:44,456 --> 00:02:45,957
Hold on.
43
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:51,838
Honestly, it looks like almost everything
we had was left behind in the dungeon.
44
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:53,924
So we're basically cleaned out.
45
00:02:54,424 --> 00:02:55,258
What?
46
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:57,135
And what's worse…
47
00:02:57,218 --> 00:02:58,261
Chilchuck?
48
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,264
We just lost two of our party members.
49
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:02,349
RESIGNATION LETTER
50
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:03,266
What's that?
51
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:07,354
Apparently another party's
been courting them for a while now.
52
00:03:07,437 --> 00:03:08,772
What?
53
00:03:09,522 --> 00:03:11,775
Exploring dungeons costs money
54
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:15,779
for hiring companions,
buying equipment, and getting food too.
55
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:20,241
We can sell our current equipment
and secure what funds we have now
56
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:22,619
to switch to cheaper equipment.
57
00:03:22,702 --> 00:03:27,290
As well as to pay for food, medicine,
necessities, and new companions.
58
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:29,793
-Do we have enough?
-Not in the slightest.
59
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:33,922
My little sister will get digested
while we get everything ready.
60
00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:37,259
There's that person who once revived
someone from shreds, right?
61
00:03:37,342 --> 00:03:39,678
Have they ever revived someone from poop?
62
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:42,514
Never heard of that.
63
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:47,852
I know we're short on cash,
64
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:49,646
but how about some food first?
65
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:53,149
After all, our empty stomachs
may have been why we failed.
66
00:03:54,025 --> 00:03:56,027
What should we eat?
67
00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:59,531
For cheap food, we could go to
the bistro on the main street,
68
00:03:59,614 --> 00:04:01,950
or there's The Laughing Wolf
for bigger meals.
69
00:04:02,033 --> 00:04:04,953
Oh, but that pub's hard to pass up too!
70
00:04:05,036 --> 00:04:08,081
Their soup dumplings are to die for.
71
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:09,708
-No.
-What?
72
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:12,377
We need to get back to the dungeon.
73
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:13,795
But as we are now…
74
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:15,588
I have an idea.
75
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,842
-You two will leave the party.
-What?
76
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:22,971
Then, we'll sell your equipment
and I'll enter the dungeon alone.
77
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:24,389
That's insane.
78
00:04:24,472 --> 00:04:25,473
Do you have a death wish?
79
00:04:25,557 --> 00:04:29,269
This way, we won't have to compromise
on using quality equipment,
80
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:32,731
and I can get to the lowest floor
while avoiding monsters if I'm alone.
81
00:04:33,315 --> 00:04:34,733
It's not impossible.
82
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:36,985
It's all my fault in the first place.
83
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,779
I can't put you two in danger too.
84
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:44,576
I'm going too, no matter what.
85
00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:46,870
I'll do anything to save Falin.
86
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,080
Falin is dear to me too.
87
00:04:50,415 --> 00:04:52,667
I won't drag you down.
88
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,587
You know how strong my magic is.
89
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:58,590
Don't forget about my job, too.
90
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:02,218
You'll need me to open doors
and disable traps.
91
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:03,970
You guys…
92
00:05:06,806 --> 00:05:10,226
You really mean to go with me, right?
93
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,228
For better or for worse?
94
00:05:13,563 --> 00:05:14,814
Y-Yeah.
95
00:05:16,441 --> 00:05:18,985
We'll secure food from within the dungeon.
96
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:19,986
-What?!
-What?!
97
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:22,781
There are more than enough
monsters in the dungeon.
98
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:25,992
That means an entire ecosystem
exists inside.
99
00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:30,038
Carnivorous monsters will have
herbivorous monsters to feed on,
100
00:05:30,121 --> 00:05:32,248
and the herbivorous monsters eat plants
101
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,001
that find nutrients
from water, sunlight, and dirt.
102
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:39,255
In other words,
humans can eat in the dungeon too.
103
00:05:42,717 --> 00:05:43,885
So, what you're saying
104
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:45,887
is that we'll eat monsters?
105
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:47,847
We'll eat monsters too.
106
00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:50,141
Think about our adventures until now.
107
00:05:50,225 --> 00:05:53,645
I'm sure there were
a lot of tasty-looking things.
108
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:57,023
No, there's no way I'm eating those.
109
00:05:57,107 --> 00:06:00,401
There are quite a bit of people
who hunt monsters for food.
110
00:06:00,485 --> 00:06:03,696
You mean the criminals
who can't come back on land?
111
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:07,158
Even they get hospitalized
all the time from food poisoning.
112
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:10,411
You said you'd do anything to save Falin.
113
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:12,163
I never said I'd eat monsters.
114
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:15,250
There's no time nor money.
What other choice do we have?
115
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,377
But there's no point
if we eat something weird
116
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:19,754
and get stopped by food poisoning.
117
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,799
Run away!
118
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:26,177
Save us!
119
00:06:28,805 --> 00:06:30,723
Looks like dungeon newbies.
120
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:35,228
They're not cut out for this
if they can't handle a monster like this.
121
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,231
Hey, Laios?
122
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:40,984
Let's make lunch out of this.
123
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:42,861
I refuse!
124
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,613
No, absolutely not!
125
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:48,741
Isn't going straight to mushrooms
a bit risky?
126
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:53,621
The dungeon food guide
says it's food suited for beginners.
127
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:56,457
It's meaty and has a mild taste.
128
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:59,085
-What is this book?
-It looks pretty worn down.
129
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:02,380
Let's go find more space
to start a fire.
130
00:07:02,881 --> 00:07:04,924
Wish we had one or two
more ingredients, though.
131
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:10,221
Those steps are from a Huge Scorpion!
132
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,640
Could it be that he…
133
00:07:12,724 --> 00:07:15,727
Despite being a dungeon,
many people come and go,
134
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:18,229
making it a bustling place
for adventurers and merchants.
135
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:20,315
A former cemetery,
136
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:23,401
it was once a sacred place
where villagers slept in peace.
137
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:26,779
But once it was connected to
the dungeon six years ago,
138
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:29,866
it became the liveliest place
in the village.
139
00:07:30,492 --> 00:07:34,037
They say monsters emerge
from the depths of the dungeon.
140
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,166
It is unclear whether a forbidden spell
transformed terrestrial creatures
141
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:41,544
or if they were summoned
from the world of monsters.
142
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:44,464
But they all have an odd appearance
143
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:47,383
and attack humans as if
they have something to protect.
144
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:51,179
But that served as the only proof we have
145
00:07:51,262 --> 00:07:54,557
that the cursed,
formerly prosperous capital truly exists.
146
00:07:56,434 --> 00:07:58,102
Don't kill it like a crayfish.
147
00:07:58,186 --> 00:08:01,648
This is how you catch it,
so it's easier than a crayfish.
148
00:08:01,731 --> 00:08:02,815
Hey.
149
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:08,112
You've been looking for a chance
to eat monsters for a while, haven't you?
150
00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:13,243
But that doesn't change the fact
that I want to save my sister.
151
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:14,702
Yeah, okay.
152
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:18,331
I've never told you this,
but I love monsters.
153
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:21,709
from their appearance and cries
to their ecology.
154
00:08:21,793 --> 00:08:24,128
I soon wanted to know their taste.
155
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:25,296
He's a psychopath.
156
00:08:30,802 --> 00:08:34,305
Shouldn't we do this
where there are fewer people?
157
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:37,600
It's hard to go back and forth for water.
158
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:41,020
So, how do we eat these?
159
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:43,106
Let's try an orthodox approach.
160
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:46,359
What's wrong?
161
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:49,862
It's easy to cut from above,
but there's resistance from the side.
162
00:08:49,946 --> 00:08:52,073
When we fight against
mushroom-type monsters,
163
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:54,951
slashing diagonally or horizontally
might be less effective.
164
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:56,869
That's good to know.
165
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:59,831
It looks like food if you slice it up.
166
00:08:59,914 --> 00:09:00,748
I don't see it.
167
00:09:03,334 --> 00:09:04,877
Hey, hold on!
168
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,423
We're eating it as is?
What about the venom?
169
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:11,050
This scorpion's venom is safe to eat.
170
00:09:12,844 --> 00:09:13,678
Really?
171
00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:16,264
That's what the book said,
so I want to try it.
172
00:09:17,849 --> 00:09:19,517
Blech.
173
00:09:20,643 --> 00:09:21,728
Told you.
174
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:22,895
Hold it right there.
175
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:25,940
Scorpion Hot Pot, eh?
176
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:28,901
But that method leaves much to be desired.
177
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:30,111
Who are you?
178
00:09:30,194 --> 00:09:32,572
When you eat this monster,
179
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:36,909
you must cut off
the pincers, head, and legs.
180
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,412
The tail will upset your stomach.
181
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:42,373
The book said it'd be fine.
182
00:09:42,457 --> 00:09:44,417
Or rather it just tastes bad.
183
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,170
Also, cut up the body as well.
184
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:51,424
It'll cook through more easily,
and the juices create a delicious broth.
185
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:53,426
It's easier to eat too.
186
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:55,928
And take out the internal organs.
187
00:09:56,012 --> 00:09:57,930
They're bitter and have an awful texture.
188
00:09:58,014 --> 00:09:59,474
As for the Walking Mushroom,
189
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:02,518
throw out the bottom
and three centimeters from the surface.
190
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,562
The feet are tasty, so keep those.
191
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:06,439
The feet are tasty?
192
00:10:06,522 --> 00:10:09,651
Yeah, they have
a nice, unique smell, right?
193
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,319
The smell of the feet, huh?
194
00:10:11,402 --> 00:10:13,571
This pot is too small.
195
00:10:14,155 --> 00:10:15,531
Let's use mine.
196
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:18,076
You sure are prepared.
197
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:21,913
It feels like it's missing something.
198
00:10:27,669 --> 00:10:28,628
Here.
199
00:10:28,711 --> 00:10:30,546
Wait, there's no way I'll eat that.
200
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,341
-Marcille?
-Not in a million years.
201
00:10:33,424 --> 00:10:34,967
This is a cemetery, you know.
202
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:36,969
Even if I'm okay with monsters,
203
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,222
plants with roots are out of the question.
204
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:41,683
Doesn't it look
good enough with just this?
205
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:43,893
-Marcille!
-And who the hell are you?
206
00:10:43,976 --> 00:10:45,520
-Look up!
-What?
207
00:10:51,526 --> 00:10:52,443
A Slime!
208
00:10:52,527 --> 00:10:54,946
Dammit, it's covering my face.
209
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:57,949
Oh no, I can't cast any spells.
210
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:01,953
Thinking back,
my first death was to a Slime.
211
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:10,044
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
212
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:11,671
It got in my nose, though.
213
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:13,089
Blow it out.
214
00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:16,300
You got rid of a Slime with just a knife?
215
00:11:16,384 --> 00:11:18,845
It's simple if you know its composition.
216
00:11:19,429 --> 00:11:21,139
They may look amorphous,
217
00:11:21,222 --> 00:11:23,933
but their composition is actually
more structured than humans.
218
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:27,812
This is the inside of a Slime.
219
00:11:27,895 --> 00:11:30,440
Compared to humans,
the stomach is flipped
220
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:34,110
and covers its internal organs and head
with digestive fluids.
221
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:37,989
It senses the breathing of its prey
and springs into action.
222
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:42,743
So you're an easier target
if you shout in a loud voice.
223
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:45,288
It's not edible like this,
224
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:49,083
but you can add citrus juice,
and wash it thoroughly in hot water.
225
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:50,793
Then, wipe off the moisture
226
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:54,505
or rub it in salt and dry it in the sun.
227
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:56,507
This makes a delicious delicacy.
228
00:11:56,591 --> 00:12:00,052
If possible, it's best to
let it fast for two weeks.
229
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:02,513
Drying it takes time too.
230
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:06,017
This is a portable Slime drying net
that I made myself.
231
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:08,019
Sandwich it like this
232
00:12:08,102 --> 00:12:10,563
and it dries as you walk around.
233
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:13,232
It takes time until it's ready,
234
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:15,651
but here's the final product.
235
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:18,154
Let's add this for today.
236
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,532
-But isn't it a delicacy?
-It's fine.
237
00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:26,746
I've researched monster food
in this dungeon for over ten years.
238
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:31,292
Nothing makes me happier than to hear
someone is interested in Monster cuisine.
239
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:32,668
Ten years?
240
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:35,296
Was the dungeon here that long?
241
00:12:35,963 --> 00:12:37,548
Well, sit tight.
242
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:57,527
It's ready.
243
00:12:57,610 --> 00:12:59,320
HUGE SCORPION
AND WALKING MUSHROOM HOT POT
244
00:13:03,032 --> 00:13:05,660
Boiled Huge Scorpions turn red, huh?
245
00:13:05,743 --> 00:13:08,120
It feels so different seeing it in person.
246
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:11,207
It smells kind of delicious.
247
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,043
The meat contracts when cooked,
248
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:15,836
so it comes apart easily.
249
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:17,838
You're right.
250
00:13:21,008 --> 00:13:21,842
This is delicious!
251
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:23,970
Isn't it?
252
00:13:24,053 --> 00:13:26,347
It tastes so different
based on how you cook it.
253
00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:28,391
Right?
254
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:30,351
It's so good! I'm shocked!
255
00:13:30,434 --> 00:13:32,353
Right?!
256
00:13:35,439 --> 00:13:37,608
Give me some too.
257
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:40,736
What is this?
258
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,072
Dried Slime innards.
259
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:47,368
It's good!
260
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:50,496
So, this is how you eat Slimes?
261
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:53,416
It also tastes good soaked in fruit juice.
262
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:56,460
And these tree roots
are so nice and fluffy.
263
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:58,296
They're not technically roots.
264
00:13:58,379 --> 00:14:01,632
They're tree trunks
that grow upside down in the dungeon.
265
00:14:01,716 --> 00:14:04,135
This algae is so soft and tasty.
266
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:06,846
Does this grow in the dungeon too?
267
00:14:06,929 --> 00:14:10,266
That's just normal algae
that grows in humid places.
268
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:14,270
I can't believe all this is from
the dungeon we've been walking through.
269
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,152
I'm stuffed.
270
00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:22,862
We still haven't heard your name.
271
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,448
My name is Senshi.
272
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,867
It means "researcher" in Dwarvish.
273
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:29,869
I'm Laios.
274
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,788
That's Marcille the magic-user
and Chilchuck the picklock.
275
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:35,875
Looks like you're on a mission.
276
00:14:35,958 --> 00:14:37,418
Yes, that's right.
277
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:41,631
One of our companions got eaten
by a monster in the lower levels.
278
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:44,300
We want to save her
before she gets digested.
279
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:48,179
By a monster? What kind?
280
00:14:48,262 --> 00:14:50,014
A dragon with deep-red scales.
281
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,142
Deep-red scales?
282
00:14:53,684 --> 00:14:55,186
The Red Dragon?
283
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:57,897
To maintain their large bodies,
284
00:14:57,980 --> 00:14:59,815
dragons spend most of their days sleeping.
285
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,944
They also digest
much more slowly than other monsters.
286
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:05,196
I hope so.
287
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:06,697
Please.
288
00:15:06,781 --> 00:15:09,825
Would you allow me to accompany you?
289
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,702
You're more than welcome to.
290
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:14,205
It'd be a huge help to us as well.
291
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:16,707
Really?
292
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:19,460
-Thank you.
-Likewise.
293
00:15:19,543 --> 00:15:23,464
I've dreamt of cooking
the Red Dragon for many years.
294
00:15:24,048 --> 00:15:25,508
The Red Dragon.
295
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:29,720
Maybe I should go for the traditional
steak, or perhaps a burger.
296
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,973
Shabu-shabu is great too.
297
00:15:32,056 --> 00:15:35,476
No, if I have eggs,
a Dragon and Egg bowl would be good.
298
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,232
Is it okay to eat that?
299
00:15:42,566 --> 00:15:46,529
It was on everyone's mind,
but no one said a word.
300
00:15:50,408 --> 00:15:51,993
Second basement floor.
301
00:15:52,576 --> 00:15:55,496
Unlike the cemetery
on the first basement floor,
302
00:15:55,579 --> 00:15:58,499
an abnormal view spreads out before them.
303
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:00,334
According to academics,
304
00:16:00,418 --> 00:16:05,006
this is the spire of the Golden Castle,
which is located deep underground.
305
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,717
I've always wondered about this,
306
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,012
but how do those trees
not go above ground at this height?
307
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:13,597
Well, a curse made this dungeon.
308
00:16:15,349 --> 00:16:17,518
Marcille, are you okay?
309
00:16:17,601 --> 00:16:20,479
I tripped on a gap in the bridge.
310
00:16:20,563 --> 00:16:22,023
We've walked quite a way.
311
00:16:22,106 --> 00:16:23,607
You must be tired.
312
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,694
Let's find a campsite
and stop early for today.
313
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:31,657
We spent a night
in a hollow tree here before, didn't we?
314
00:16:31,741 --> 00:16:32,783
Yeah, we did.
315
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:36,287
I burned myself trying to make pork soup.
316
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:38,205
Soup…
317
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:39,915
Are you hungry?
318
00:16:39,999 --> 00:16:43,044
I have some scorpion broth
from lunch today.
319
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:44,295
I don't want it.
320
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:45,963
Well, then.
321
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:48,049
Let's go hunt a monster for dinner.
322
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:50,051
Jeez.
323
00:16:50,718 --> 00:16:53,179
-What're you in the mood for?
-What?
324
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:56,307
I'll do my best to match your request.
325
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:58,184
You say that, but…
326
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:02,229
We're eating monsters, right?
327
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:07,193
Ugh, I'm fine with anything
as long as it's edible.
328
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:10,071
What kind of monsters live around here?
329
00:17:10,738 --> 00:17:12,073
Let's see…
330
00:17:12,656 --> 00:17:14,575
Big Bats and Giant Rats.
331
00:17:14,658 --> 00:17:16,702
I don't want anything unsanitary.
332
00:17:16,786 --> 00:17:17,703
Forest Goblins.
333
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,330
Demi-humans are a no-go.
334
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:20,456
Living Armor.
335
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:22,500
Metal?
336
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:26,337
Isn't there anything more normal,
like birds or tree fruits?
337
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:27,963
There's always that one person
338
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:32,009
who shoots down every idea
after agreeing to eat anything.
339
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:34,345
I don't think I'm asking for much.
340
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:37,598
There are normal monsters,
but those don't attack humans,
341
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,350
so they'll require more preparation.
342
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:43,062
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
343
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:45,106
Sorry, that's true.
344
00:17:45,189 --> 00:17:46,232
But you know,
345
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:49,693
we might run into a monster
holding a flesh-eating lunch.
346
00:17:49,777 --> 00:17:52,113
Let's try to enjoy this!
347
00:17:52,196 --> 00:17:54,490
Not very optimistic about this.
348
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:58,494
Well, there are lots of fruits
during this season.
349
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:00,496
Really?
350
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:02,498
Yeah.
351
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,504
See? I knew it'd be tree fruit
from Man-eating Plants.
352
00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:10,548
Marcille, that's incorrect.
353
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:12,508
Man-eating Plants
are just the common name.
354
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:16,011
That flower, for example, is a Baraselia.
355
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:18,514
It mainly grows on monster trails
356
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:20,641
shooting out a mucus
reminiscent of spider webs.
357
00:18:20,724 --> 00:18:23,269
When a creature touches the mucus,
it reflexively pulls them in.
358
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:27,773
It wraps around things that move,
but it doesn't digest them.
359
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:30,734
It makes them into compost.
360
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:33,779
But it sometimes
uses humans for nutrients, right?
361
00:18:33,863 --> 00:18:36,490
The vegetables you usually eat
362
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:40,161
can be traced back to
dead remains and animal dung.
363
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:42,788
I can't fault that logic, but…
364
00:18:42,872 --> 00:18:44,165
It's fine.
365
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:46,000
It's still only the second basement floor.
366
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:49,712
Someone would notice
if a corpse rolled by here.
367
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:53,257
They have people to retrieve corpses,
368
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:56,260
and no one would get eaten
by a monster in a place like this.
369
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:58,429
You think so?
370
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:00,764
I don't think we can pluck them in secret.
371
00:19:01,849 --> 00:19:03,684
We'll have to fight.
372
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:06,645
Move over.
373
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,982
I'll get rid of them in one shot.
374
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:13,485
Sperae Yeptum Rufermus.
375
00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,447
Alamandras Proju.
376
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:18,574
Nexant Aslam.
377
00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:20,201
Stop, you moron!
378
00:19:20,284 --> 00:19:21,869
Why?
379
00:19:26,081 --> 00:19:28,751
Do you want the fruit
to get hit by your magic too?
380
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:32,254
Only take as much as you'll eat.
This rule is absolute.
381
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,632
This isn't the time for that!
382
00:19:35,216 --> 00:19:37,509
No, let go of me!
383
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:44,725
They can't digest people?
384
00:19:44,808 --> 00:19:46,644
But they're totally eating them!
385
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:49,730
What? Some of them
can digest things, though.
386
00:19:49,813 --> 00:19:51,273
Depends on the plant type.
387
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,984
The one that has a hold of you
388
00:19:54,068 --> 00:19:56,278
is a parasite type
that plants seeds inside your skin.
389
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:58,155
That's the worst kind!
390
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,783
Try to stay still, Marcille.
391
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,870
Plant-based monsters
basically have several limbs.
392
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:07,164
It'll take forever to fight them
one at a time.
393
00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:09,583
For swords, there's only
one sure-fire spot.
394
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:11,543
The root.
395
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:16,924
Ouch…
396
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:18,759
Are you okay?
397
00:20:18,842 --> 00:20:20,928
Yeah, thanks Laios.
398
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:23,305
-How was it?
-What?
399
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:27,226
This is Shadowtail, a plant-based parasite
that buries seeds
400
00:20:27,309 --> 00:20:28,811
inside the skin of living creatures.
401
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:32,940
Unlike the Baraselia,
which is strong enough to break bones,
402
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:35,901
the Shadowtail needs to capture
its prey without killing them.
403
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:38,320
It uses a delicate balance,
404
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:42,324
immobilizing its prey
without making it uncomfortable.
405
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:45,828
I feel like it'd feel really good.
How did you feel?
406
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:49,957
I made her mad again.
407
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,835
Even I thought you were a bit much.
408
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:05,973
First, steam it lightly.
409
00:21:06,682 --> 00:21:08,976
Cut around the stem in a circle.
410
00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:13,314
Twist it a bit
and pull to get the seeds out.
411
00:21:13,814 --> 00:21:15,733
-Wow.
-Peel the skin off,
412
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:18,235
beat the skin to make it soft,
413
00:21:19,236 --> 00:21:20,988
and cover the pan with it.
414
00:21:21,572 --> 00:21:26,327
Grind up the unripe fruit,
adding Slime and some scorpion broth,
415
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:28,495
mixing until it thickens.
416
00:21:28,579 --> 00:21:31,707
Once it gets smooth,
add the rest of the scorpion broth
417
00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:34,418
and chunks of tree fruit.
418
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:37,504
Mix it a bit
and pour it into the frying pan.
419
00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:39,381
Cook it a bit.
420
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:41,759
I want to see if we can grow it
on the surface.
421
00:21:41,842 --> 00:21:43,260
Of course, we can't.
422
00:21:43,344 --> 00:21:44,845
No!
423
00:21:45,888 --> 00:21:49,767
When it starts bubbling,
add the rest of the fruit.
424
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:52,269
All right.
425
00:21:52,936 --> 00:21:54,146
It's done.
426
00:21:54,229 --> 00:21:56,273
MAN-EATING PLANTS FRUIT TART
427
00:21:56,357 --> 00:21:57,691
A tart?
428
00:21:57,775 --> 00:21:59,276
At least, it looks like it.
429
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:02,321
The crust is just a non-stick coating.
You can leave it.
430
00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:06,492
It's salt-flavored.
That's not what I expected.
431
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:08,035
Yeah, it's good.
432
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,997
Try it, Marcille. You'll probably like it.
433
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:15,709
None of the plants that ate people
are in it, right?
434
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:20,130
No, if we used
the gelatin from those plants,
435
00:22:20,214 --> 00:22:22,758
it would've turned out even better.
436
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:24,802
The Slime didn't solidify well.
437
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:33,310
This is delicious.
438
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:36,146
The compost-type plants' fruit
is fresh and sweet.
439
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:38,315
The digestion-type plants'
is more compact and rich.
440
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:40,776
But I wonder if that's okay.
441
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:43,821
Doesn't that mean
they get eaten by other animals?
442
00:22:43,904 --> 00:22:46,740
All this fruit they make gets taken away.
443
00:22:47,407 --> 00:22:49,493
That's how a carnivorous plant works.
444
00:22:49,576 --> 00:22:52,496
They use them to capture prey
for nourishment.
445
00:22:52,579 --> 00:22:53,705
Oh, I see.
446
00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:57,459
I wonder if this sweetness
is one of their tricks then.
447
00:22:58,043 --> 00:22:59,545
Now I get it.
448
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:05,050
I'm so happy you're getting interested.
449
00:23:05,134 --> 00:23:06,218
Stop that!
450
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:16,436
What'll we do with that corpse?
451
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,730
We don't have time
to go back to town.
452
00:23:19,314 --> 00:23:21,483
Want me to revive it with magic?
453
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:24,695
No, there's a chance it won't work.
454
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,032
Maybe someone will take it
if we leave it in the open.
455
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,242
Yeah.
456
00:23:31,201 --> 00:23:33,120
Let's make it visible.
457
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:37,249
I've seen this at execution sites.
458
00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:43,589
Marcille had a nightmare that night.
459
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:46,675
Dungeon food.
460
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:48,594
Eat or be eaten.
461
00:23:49,595 --> 00:23:51,430
There is no hierarchy.
462
00:23:51,513 --> 00:23:54,850
Eating is a privilege for those who live.
463
00:23:55,726 --> 00:23:57,019
Dungeon food.
464
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:59,521
Oh, dungeon food.
465
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:27,943
DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
466
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:32,030
