DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
[Marcille] No.
-[gasps] -Falin…
Can she even be revived after all that?
I've heard that it's been done before, but…
-[grunts] -Hey, Laios. What are you--
[Laios] The resurrection office.
They'll know what to do.
Are you planning to take everything?
But aren't Warg bones mixed in there too?
[Laios] It's hard to tell them apart.
-Mm. -[Senshi sighs]
[Chilchuck] Let me help.
[whimpers, gasps]
-Please wait! -[both gasp]
The link between the soul and body is fragile now.
You shouldn't move her.
[Marcille] The more damaged the body is, the weaker the soul's bond.
When a resurrection fails,
it's usually because the soul separated too far,
or because the body wasn't fully restored.
[Laios] Then, what should we do?
We go get a revival specialist and revive her here.
[Marcille] But the restoration requires
more than twice the amount of calories for the damaged parts.
So, we'd also need to bring a lot of fresh meat for it to work.
It would rot on the way down, wouldn't it?
-Hang on. -Huh?
[Marcille] Yes.
We have a large amount of fresh meat right here in front of us.
Hey. Now hold on a sec.
You're gonna resurrect her with dragon meat?
Reviving isn't even your specialty.
I didn't want to scare anyone so I never mentioned it.
What I specialize in
is actually ancient magic, which is highly forbidden.
Its use is frowned upon, but using it to revive Falin…
is our best option.
-Marcille! -Black magic?
That stuff is evil!
-Magic doesn't have morality. -[Chilchuck gasps]
Well, Laios? It's your choice.
Please do it, Marcille.
Bring my sister back from the dead.
All right, then.
I'll try.
[Chilchuck] Are you guys insane?
Using dragon meat of all things!
Goat and pig are what people would normally use for this.
But we don't have that right now.
[Laios] All right, let's start.
Mm.
[Marcille inhales deeply]
-[blood squelches] -[both groan]
First things first,
I would like to put the body back in its original shape,
so I'll start assembling her skeleton.
That makes sense.
I'm familiar with canine skeletons.
[Laios] So I'll work on putting the Wargs together.
[both] Mm.
That's kinda unnecessary, isn't it?
Not if it helps us avoid mixing something and making dumb mistakes!
-Mm. -Mm.
[Marcille] Humans have around 200 bones.
[Laios] Then we're looking at about 840 bones total.
[Chilchuck] Huh? How do you know that?
[Laios] Dogs have around 320 bones,
and there are two skulls here, so it's easy math.
Let's start with the most recognizable ones.
[Marcille] The rounder set is a human's rib cage.
And the spine is directly connected to the ribs.
Their curves don't look the same, so they're easy to tell apart.
[Marcille] The toughest ones are the smaller bones
from the hands and feet.
[Laios] Yeah, it's a lot harder to tell the difference.
Let's start with the bigger pieces and work down.
This piece that I'm holding is the ankle bone.
Find the next biggest one, then connect the two sides that line up,
and the instep is complete.
And then, we have the bones from the hands.
Let's arrange them starting with the fingers.
I got it! Ha!
[Laios] Like this, right?
-So close. -[Laios] Aw.
Actually, the longest metacarpal, despite what you might think,
goes on the pointer finger.
That just leaves us with the ones that connect the fingers to the wrist.
[Laios] Hmm.
Hmm…
-Hint, please! -This isn't a game, Laios!
[sighs] There.
[Marcille] It's ready!
THE BONE STRUCTURES OF FALIN AND WARGS
How do I put this?
What a beautiful skeleton.
[Chilchuck] Not bad for some bones.
[Senshi] Seems she had a good calcium intake.
[Chilchuck] This isn't gonna revive the Wargs too, is it?
Only human souls get bound to the dungeon.
Because otherwise, this place would burst from all the monsters' souls.
[foreboding music playing]
All right, here we go.
[grunts]
[Marcille] O Pilitsham.
O Esdoms. O Villaru.
Casuszameo Rotokt Artumcuks.
-O Kunquikeo. Eoktum Kome. -[gasps]
[Marcille] Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo. Aoewauk Aentujon.
Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo.
Aoewauk Aentujon.
Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo.
Aoewauk Aentujon…
[Laios] Marcille!
[gasps]
She just fainted.
[Chilchuck] So, what happened?
Did it actually work?
Huh?
[whimpers softly]
[gasps]
[coughs]
Falin!
Her airway's full of blood!
[Laios] All right, just cough it out.
[Falin coughs, retches]
[Laios] There. All good.
[Falin coughs, retches]
[Falin coughing]
Falin.
[pants]
[Falin faintly] Brother…
[in normal voice] I'm glad you're safe.
-You're cold. -[gasps]
[Laios] Right, my armor! Sorry!
Let me go get you some clothes.
Huh?
[Laios] Falin, what's the matter?
You're feeling okay, right?
[Falin] Uh-huh.
Good. I'm glad to hear it.
-[Laios] Marcille. -[groans]
[Laios] Marcille!
[gasps] How's Falin?
Alive and well.
-But she's still a bit disoriented. -Huh?
[Marcille whimpering]
[Marcille] Falin!
[sobs]
[Marcille] I'm so glad!
Thank goodness!
-[sobs] -[Falin] Marcille…
Hm.
-[Marcille sobbing] -[approaching footsteps]
[Falin] Chilchuck.
[Chilchuck] How are you feeling?
She's still kinda confused about this.
Oh, right. This guy here?
His name is Senshi.
He's been a big help during our journey.
Good to meet you, Falin.
I've heard a lot about you.
Senshi.
-[stomach grumbles] -[all] Hmm?
[all chuckle]
[Laios] Hm.
Seems like a good time to start prepping a meal.
[water trickling]
Thank goodness!
I was so worried, Falin!
I'm so happy that everything worked out in the end!
-Uh, Marcille? -Hm?
I can wash myself, you know.
Yeah, but I wanted to make sure your skin was properly restored.
[Falin] That tickles!
[Marcille] Yes. Good.
[gasps] Why is there a bruise here?
That's a mark I got from tripping
and hitting the edge of the stairs when I was a little kid.
Oh, that's all?
[Falin] Marcille, you look even paler than I do.
That's because I don't have any mana.
If I eat something and get rest, I should be fine--
Huh?
[yelps] What are you--
Sorry if I scared you, I was trying to give you some of my mana.
You don't have to do that.
I don't even think you have enough to share with me right now, do you?
[Falin] I actually feel good.
Like there's power welling deep inside of me.
Falin, you're still on the mend,
so please don't use magic until you're used to your body again.
[Falin] I died, didn't I?
I don't really remember much about it.
What happened exactly?
You were all covered in wounds, and…
for the Red Dragon to appear here…
Wait! Are Shuro and Namari okay?
I would feel just awful
if anyone risked their lives and got hurt because of me.
No, they're all fine.
-[Falin] Also… -Uh?
…that magic circle I saw…
there was something that just didn't feel right about it.
I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault you had to use something like that.
Stop worrying!
Uh…
Sure, we ran into some hardships, things got pretty rough.
But it's easy to look back and laugh at all that now,
'cause everything turned out well in the end!
Falin, there's no need for you to blame yourself.
[Marcille] No one regrets anything that we've been through.
Hm.
[Marcille] As for that magic circle, things will be fine if we erase it.
[groans]
-[Marcille] For the moment… -Huh?
…our biggest concern is how to safely get back home.
Oh! I still have to wash all my clothes.
And we still have to find you a new outfit.
Ah, if it weren't for those stupid frogs.
There were frogs?
[Chilchuck] What do we do now?
Return to the surface.
[Laios] We can't use return magic or the Orcs' tunnels,
so we'll have to get to the castle from the main road.
[Chilchuck] Not what I meant.
You may have rescued your sister,
but the fact remains that we're still broke.
I do have some savings in the bank, you know.
But no promissory note.
And it'll take a month to reproduce it.
[Laios] Yeah, you're right.
So about that Marcille,
the black magic she used,
did you already know she had that ability?
I never asked her about the details,
but she had mentioned wanting to go into a dungeon to study it.
[Chilchuck] It always seemed weird to me.
An elf who looked like she was living pretty comfy
wanting to go into a dungeon?
You don't suppose she's one of those dark elves, do you?
-[Laios] Oh? -I don't want her causing
any problems for us…
-[Chilchuck gasps] -Who are you calling a dark elf?
[screams]
If dark magic was harmless, it wouldn't be forbidden!
Oh, yeah?
So you consider healing magic harmless?
'Cause even that can be used for torture.
I'm researching ways that forbidden magic can be useful to people.
And honestly, I'm not ashamed of it.
[both] Uh…
Although I think it's for the best if we forget about
the method of resurrection this time around, if that's okay?
Didn't you just say that you weren't ashamed of it?
[sighs] It's fine.
It's all over anyway.
Hm? I just realized…
-[Senshi humming] -Huh?
[continues humming]
[Laios] Where did Senshi go?
Maybe dealing with the dragon meat?
Oh, I just passed Mr. Senshi.
He was carrying a giant pan along with firewood.
Like I said.
He's prepping food.
-[Laios] Hmm. -Hm?
Near the dragon?
[both whimper]
[all] We got to stop him!
[Falin] What's happening?
When I cut open the dragon, I cut the fuel organ.
[Laios] So lighting a fire close to it is gonna…
[gasps]
Senshi!
Please!
-[Laios] Stop! -[loud explosion]
-[loud rumble] -[all groan]
[groans]
-[coughs] -He…
He's alive.
Is this defensive magic?
[gasps softly]
Falin, did you cast that?
I think so.
How'd you do it so fast and without chanting?
I don't know.
[Falin] I thought about needing to protect everyone, and then…
Hmm.
-[Chilchuck] That's amazing. -Hm?
Is it that sudden heroic strength thing?
Sure would have been real helpful to have when we were fighting the Red Dragon.
-Hm. -[chuckles]
[Marcille] Anyway, you were revived not that long ago,
so please, refrain from using any more magic.
That startled me.
Didn't I say that dragons breathe fire from fuel they produce?
[Laios] You ignited that fuel.
[Senshi] It's not going out, huh?
[Laios] The fat inside the body is burning.
It'll die down eventually.
If that's the case, then I can't take the meat from in there.
Hmm. Not good.
[flame crackles]
Guess I'll use that fire to cook.
[Senshi] Mix flour, yeast, salt, and water in a bowl, and knead well.
Let it rest for a bit…
Go take a bath while it rests.
[Senshi] Shape it to your liking as you stretch it out,
and add your choice of toppings.
Lightly sprinkle flour onto a piece of dragon hide,
then place it inside the dragon.
Cut off the tip of the dragon's tail.
No, that's so wasteful!
Now, skin it and place it in a soup.
Cut the meat into a block shape,
place it on a heated scale, and after both sides are seared,
dip it into some seasoning.
[both gulp]
[Senshi] It's ready!
DRAGON TAIL SOUP
ONION PIZZA, ROAST RED DRAGON
Oh, man.
Looks delicious!
Uh?
Is this okay to eat?
-Of course, it isn't! -Of course, it isn't!
[both gasp]
Uh…
Tasty!
It feels like the first good meal I've eaten in a while.
Good, good!
Take your revenge on that dragon.
-[Marcille groans] -I guess it's fine.
I'm just glad that she's feeling better.
[light music playing]
Ah… [grunts]
It's pretty tough, but the flavor seems kind of familiar.
Yeah, I can't really place it.
I don't think it's cow or pig though.
If anything, it kinda tastes like…
It's a bit like Living Armor, isn't it?
Ah, you think so?
I don't taste the same rusty tinge the armor had.
[Chilchuck] The Kelpie and frog were pretty soft.
So maybe it's more like the Basilisk?
[Marcille] What do you think, Laios?
What are you all even talking about?
[Laios] This color!
This firm texture!
The rich flavor!
Each of these things are distinctly unique!
So, why do you keep comparing the taste of this to anything else?
Because this is the flavor of a dragon!
Uh…
[Marcille] Oh, uh, Falin?
You may have realized by now, but…
We haven't had the resources to buy food, so we've been eating monsters.
Ah!
So cool.
That is so cool!
[Falin] What kind of monsters did you eat?
And how did you eat them? Tell me!
Worried for nothing.
This is the worst possible outcome!
-We ate a Scorpion and a Slime. -[Falin gasps]
Even a Walking Mushroom.
-[Falin] No way! You did? -[Laios snaps fingers]
We harvested vegetables from some Golems too.
[Falin] Wow.
You ate a Fish-man?
That wasn't an option.
We did eat some Living Armor though.
[Falin] Huh? How'd you do that?
Let's see. The armor is basically the outer shell,
and then, inside is a mollusk colony, which--
Wouldn't it be a lot faster to show her the real thing?
Uh…
Huh?
-What's this about? -Shh!
-Huh? -Huh?
[whimpers]
Laios! Why'd you keep this from us?
-I'm so sorry. -Oh.
Adorable. Can I touch?
-[chitters] -[Falin] Huh?
It went back in.
Huh?
[Chilchuck] It moves around on its own.
[Marcille] Seriously?
[Laios] Sorry.
It was only supposed to tide me over until I found another weapon.
But it reacts to other monsters, which is convenient.
You were oddly perceptive at times.
[Chilchuck] We should've had Namari appraise it for us.
In that situation,
I probably would have also thought to hold on to it.
But tell everyone next time.
[Chilchuck] If you lose the trust of those around you,
you lose everything.
I won't do it again.
You have my word.
[Chilchuck] All right. So, what's your plan now?
I'd like to keep it until I get another weapon.
[Laios] I can kill it if I submerge it in water.
But I'd have to break the sword
to get it out or it would just rot in there.
[Marcille] That's not good.
[Chilchuck] Guess we'll keep an eye on it.
Aren't you the one who said monsters are dangerous creatures?
And trust me, I haven't forgotten about that.
I figured after I had made it harmless,
I could just go on and use it however I felt like.
But I guess I was wrong.
It's too difficult to use monsters while they're still alive.
What does it taste like, brother?
Do you want to eat it?
Yes, please! I'd love that!
[Marcille groans]
[Senshi] There's doors all over this place,
but seems like only two of them lead outside, huh?
[Laios] No getting ambushed at least.
[Marcille] Hm. [chuckles]
This house seems like it will be comfortable to live in.
[Chilchuck] Why do they have seven bathrooms, though?
[Laios] All right. Let's sleep here then.
[Marcille] Yay! It's been ages since I slept on a real bed!
[Chilchuck] We still got to use
-our sleeping bags, you know. -Huh?
I'm sorry to be intruding like this.
Once we get enough rest, then we'll be on our way.
Hey, what's up?
[Falin] A resident.
She's letting us stay.
Is that so?
[Laios] That's great.
There are only four of 'em, so we'll have to share a sleeping bag.
We haven't really slept in the same bed since our school days, have we?
I wonder if we'll both fit.
I feel like I've probably gotten a lot taller since then, huh?
[Marcille] Oh, don't be so ridiculous!
-[giggles] -[Falin gasps]
I don't care if you've grown. You're still a runt in my eyes.
[Marcille giggles]
Huh.
I'm glad that you're with us again.
Yeah. Me, too.
I'm gonna go say goodnight to my brother.
[Laios groaning]
-[Falin] Brother? -[Laios] Hmm?
What is it?
[grunts softly]
This injury here…
You were being reckless.
Why would you do…
Ah! [groans]
Maybe if a certain sister of mine hadn't been reckless first,
I wouldn't have even had that injury.
Huh?
So don't ever do anything like that again!
I honestly can't say I even recall what I--
[soft string music plays]
[Falin] I won't do it again.
Goodnight, big brother.
You too. Sleep tight.
Huh?
[footsteps approaching]
[foreboding music playing]
[closing theme music playing]
