DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
[Senshi grunts]
DRAGON BONELESS HAM
[Senshi] It'll be impossible for us to eat all of this.
[rustling]
[eerie music playing]
[whooshes]
[eerie music continues playing]
[ghostly whispering]
[ghostly whispering continues]
-[elf] Oh, there you are. -[soft gasp]
Why do you look like that?
I thought I gave you a mission to search for His Majesty.
I do not recall allowing you to rest.
-[sword clangs] -[gasps]
[shaky breath]
[grunts]
[Chilchuck] What the hell was that?
[Laios] My sword just fell from against the wall.
[Chilchuck] Tie that stupid thing up already.
Uh?
[Laios] Falin?
Marcille. Marcille.
[soft groan]
Where's Falin?
-[Marcille] Uh… what? -[gasps]
-Hey, have you seen Falin anywhere? -Hmm?
-Can't say anyone's passed by. Hmm? -[grunts]
What? Did something happen?
It can't be…
[Laios] Did she leave from this window?
[worried breath]
[Chilchuck groans]
[Laios] I'm gonna look outside.
-[sword rattles] -[Marcille] Huh?
[fizzing, burbling]
Why is it…
-[Falin groaning] -[gasps]
[Laios] Falin!
[Falin breathing heavily]
Hey, what's wrong?
Are you…
-[sword rattling] -[soft gasp]
Are you okay? Tell me what happened.
I must find him…
I must find Lord Delgal…
Wait a sec… How--
In this kingdom,
everything that you can see…
buildings, currency, livestock, citizens, blood, and meat…
Even each and every tiny grain of sand that you crush beneath your feet,
all of it is the personal property of His Majesty, King Delgal, and only his.
[ominous music playing]
Do you understand, you disgusting thief?
[elf] You… I remember you.
You were wandering around in the paintings.
[Laios] The paintings?
That's right.
But who is he?
You vile intruder.
-Just what is it that you want? -[Laios gasps]
[inaudible]
[Laios] This is the lord of the dungeon…
the mad mage himself!
[blasts]
[squelches]
You… You get away from them.
Do you hear me?
[Marcille] I won't miss again!
You should know your place, you filth!
[Falin groans]
Hey, let's go. Come on!
[groaning, breathing heavily]
Shut up!
[Laios groans]
[worried breathing]
L-Laios!
Such amazing strength.
What the hell is going on here?
[Chilchuck] Is he an adventurer?
[tense music playing]
Uh, spellbook?
I have a bad feeling about this.
-Evunt Ornbam Romfes Roodbam… -[Marcille whimpers]
Is that… some kind of magic chant?
[mad mage] Evunt Ornbam Romfes Roodbam…
This chanting could only be…
[mad mage] Evunt Ornbam Romfes Roodbam Unt Leshfam.
[Marcille] …ancient magic!
Devour them all!
[creatures screeching]
[Chilchuck whimpering]
[gasps]
[grunts, yelps]
[grunts]
[Marcille] Explosion magic, abjuration magic…
No! Those won't work!
Then…
[squelches]
[creaking]
I'll overwrite the spell instead!
[all screeching]
[thrilling music playing]
[creaks]
[power pulses]
-[thwacks] -Dispel!
[grunts]
Hmm?
[all screeching]
-[thwacking] -[Marcille] Dispel! Dispel!
Dispel! Dispel!
[Marcille] This ancient magic…
I can understand it, I can read it, but…
[crazed giggling]
-[Chilchuck whimpering] -[giggling continues]
…I can't keep up with it!
-[Chilchuck whimpering] -[Marcille laughing uncontrollably]
[Senshi] Hmm?
BONELESS DRAGON HAM
[suspenseful music playing]
BONELESS DRAGON HAM
[panting]
Are… Are you the one who made this dungeon?
I need to talk to you about-- [yelps]
-[rumbling] -[all grunt]
[Marcille, Chilchuck and Senshi screaming]
[rumbling]
Hmph.
[footsteps approaching]
[ghostly whispering]
[ghostly whispering continues]
[sighs]
Don't look so worried.
The thieves are gone now.
And His Majesty will soon be returning.
[mad mage] When he does, we'll be sure to celebrate.
-Hey, Dragon. -[shaky breath]
Huh?
That must be inconvenient.
[mad mage] Let me change your form for you.
-[fizzing, burbling] -[soft gasp]
[squelching]
[ominous music playing]
Do what you have been ordered to.
Yes.
[Marcille groans] Ow.
[Chilchuck] What happened?
[Marcille] Uh, hold on, I'll get lights up.
[Senshi groans]
-[Marcille] Huh? -What is this place?
Come to think of it, where did we fall from?
-How do we leave? There's no-- -[loud rumble]
[Chilchuck and Marcille yelp]
[panicked exclaim]
-[Senshi] What's happening? -Oh, no.
Are the walls closing in?
[Chilchuck] You've got to be kidding me!
-Dammit! We gotta look for an exit! -[Marcille] Uh, where?
Can't you fix it with magic or something?
And what kind of magic do you suggest?
[all grunting]
[grunting continues]
[gasps]
[Marcille] We're dead.
This won't be my first time dying,
but no one is gonna find us under rocks.
We just got Falin back…
and I was so close to the dungeon's secrets.
It'll all have been for nothing!
It can't end like this…
[grunts] Uh?
[muffled scream]
-Marcille! No! -[tense music playing]
[muffled scream]
Whoa! It's a tunnel!
-Let's use it to get out! -[grunts]
But we don't even know where it ends up! [grunts]
[Chilchuck] It's better than becoming a pancake!
Just… hurry up and go! [grunts]
[Senshi screams]
[Chilchuck yelps]
[loud rumble]
[groaning]
Where the hell are we?
[shuddering]
Wherever it is, we gotta get out and fast.
[Marcille] I…
I can't even move a finger right now.
[Chilchuck groans] You gotta get up.
If that guy finds us again, we're…
[ghostly whispering]
[ghostly whispering continues]
[Chilchuck] It's… It's over.
-[worried grunt] -[ghostly whispering]
[whispers] It's okay.
[whimpers]
[ghost] There's no need to worry.
[grunts]
They… They disappeared?
Argh, dammit, I think I'm going crazy.
[Chilchuck] Senshi.
I need you to wake up Laios for me.
I'm gonna go look around a little bit…
[tense sting]
[high-pitched scream]
[screams]
-[Chilchuck whimpers] -Get him!
How did they manage to sneak in here?
Ugh! A long-ear's with them!
-[orc 1] There he is! -[orc 2] Come here, you…
-[Chilchuck groans] -[orc captain] Quiet down!
What's going on?
We found some moles, Captain.
[orc captain] How'd they get in here?
Why'd the watch not catch them?
[orc 3] To be honest, we don't know.
[Chilchuck] The hole's closed up now.
-[orc captain] Whatever. -Huh?
A tiny man,
an underground dweller,
a long-legs,
and a long-ear!
How perfect.
I've never killed a long-ear before, but now I can.
[orc captain] Give the small one to the dogs.
-They're starved for entertainment. -[Chilchuck whimpering]
-[Senshi] Wait. -[grunts]
You wouldn't happen to be Chief Zon's younger sister,
would you, miss?
The reason we came here was actually to fulfill a promise with the Chief.
So, mind showing us mercy?
How do you know that name?
[orcs] Huh?
[orcs sniffing]
Hold on, we know you!
Your scent's way different, vegetable seller.
[orc captain] It must have been important for you to come this far.
What was the promise you made with him?
[orc captain] I see.
Things are making a lot more sense now.
I did think it was weird
that the Dragon didn't seem to be around anymore.
In place of my brother, I thank you.
-Go prepare the medicine. -Mm.
[uneasy groan]
[gasps]
[squelching]
[orc captain] It's ready.
ORC CONCOCTION
[gasps]
[Laios grunts]
[muffled grunt]
-[muffled grunting] -[Marcille whimpering]
[quirky, uneasy music playing]
[orc captain grunts]
-[whimpering] -[Laios gasping]
[soft grunt]
I… I'm just…
I'm just out of…
out of mana…
-[Marcille whimpering] -[breathing heavily]
Oh, hey.
[Chilchuck] We were attacked by a magic-using elf earlier.
You know anything? Like, maybe--
-What did the elf look like? -[scared grunt]
Oh, uh… he had brown skin and silver hair.
That's him.
I can't say I know many details.
[orc captain] What I do know is he was here long before we were.
And seems to rule over the dungeon.
If someone from the outside
starts to meddle with the dungeon more than necessary,
then he appears.
[orc captain] He creates monsters and controls them,
changes the terrain,
and can kill anything simply by opening that book.
Wait, he rules over the dungeon?
So then…
that was the mad mage?
[Chilchuck] We've caught the attention of the mad mage?
You've got to be kidding!
Dammit, we need to get out of here now!
Did Marcille's magic call him to us?
Or is it 'cause we killed the Dragon?
[orc captain] He has several monsters working under him.
If you killed one of them, then you probably made him angry.
To protect us from that fate,
my brother made sure to tell us never to touch the Red Dragon.
-[whimsical sting] -Brother's right about everything.
[Chilchuck] That bastard!
When they wake up,
they'll definitely wanna start looking for Falin.
I need to make them give up no matter the cost.
[Senshi] What will you do?
Whatever it takes!
Burn the staff to ashes,
or say we saw Falin head for the surface.
Or tell them she was satisfied after eating the Dragon meat.
So, you plan to lie to 'em?
Of course I do!
If I don't lie, then those two idiots are never gonna give up!
[Chilchuck] If we go any further, then we're definitely gonna get killed.
Do you wanna become part of the wall?
'Cause I sure don't!
I…
[grunting]
There's absolutely no way I'm dying with those two.
[Chilchuck] Hey, uh…
I'd like to go grab what we left behind.
Would you mind taking me there?
[scoffs]
Yes, I mind.
The stench of your cowardly nature might rub off on me.
What…
[Senshi] I'm asking you too.
-[Chilchuck] Huh? -Can you please take him back?
[Senshi] He is a coward, but he's not a bad person.
Senshi… you're not coming along?
Someone needs to stay by Laios and Marcille's side.
What…
[grunts]
[orc captain] If it's coming from you, I can't argue.
I hate it, but fine, I'll guide him there.
[Chilchuck] Dammit.
I can't believe I'm surrounded by such idiots!
[orc captain] So, you lost a companion?
[Chilchuck] We sure did.
The last time we saw her,
she had collapsed not that far from the mad mage.
It's hard to be optimistic.
[orc captain] Still, no excuse to lie to the rest of your party.
[Chilchuck] It's easy
-when it's not your problem, huh? -[orc captain grunts]
[Chilchuck whimpers] I-I was only kidding!
[orc captain] Behind you.
Huh?
[whimpering]
-Just relax. -[Chilchuck] Cold…
[orc captain] They're this town's residents.
The ghosts that reside in this area are still sane
and only appear when they want to be seen.
The paths that they travel are safe.
Let's follow.
[gasps]
[annoyed groan]
Are you serious?
[ghostly whispering]
[wind howling]
[Chilchuck] Hmm? Down there.
That's where we were before.
But the Red Dragon is gone.
Did it… come back to life maybe?
[orc captain] No.
The dogs don't seem to be on high alert.
The mage either took it away or made it disappear.
[orc captain] It looks like there was an explosion.
[Chilchuck] A fire was lit near the Dragon's fuel sack
and it exploded.
I'm shocked you survived.
[Chilchuck] One of our party members used abjuration magic and protected us,
so we were fine.
You roll with a pretty good party, don't you?
If you were there, you wouldn't be saying that.
[Chilchuck] The person who did it had no idea she could use that spell.
And later, our healer almost got us wiped out.
Sure, it eventually worked out in the end,
but if it hadn't, we would have looked like real fools.
That's what I have to deal with.
By the way, how exactly did you all manage to defeat the Red Dragon?
Senshi and I distracted it,
and then the tall-man, his name is Laios by the way,
jumped onto it and struck its weak point,
which finally took the Red Dragon down.
That's pretty impressive.
Courageousness is a good quality for a fighter to have.
[Chilchuck] Oh, that wasn't courage.
It was fine since we succeeded, but… it was a dumb gamble.
[Chilchuck] It really freaked me out.
How can these people live so recklessly like that?
We had two other party members who left our group.
[pensive music playing]
Thinking about it now,
seems like they were probably the smart ones.
I should have left then,
but I guess I was too stubborn at the time.
So you're saying you would have been fine losing your remaining party?
It's not that. It's more…
Maybe because I said I would tag along with him
and made him feel like he had to commit.
[orc captain] Okay. So, what happened after you killed the Dragon?
[Chilchuck] We healed all of our injuries, and then…
we ate in here.
We cooked up a bunch of the Dragon meat.
Glad to hear it.
You should enjoy the spoils of battle.
And a mage appeared shortly after your victory?
[orc captain] How did you all manage to survive that?
-Our party's magic user. -[rustling]
She was able to counter the attack.
[orc captain] That long-eared girl?
Someone with such a dumb-looking face handled that?
Marcille really is an idiot.
[Chilchuck] She uses sketchy magic.
And even if we're able to get out of this dungeon,
who knows if she can live a normal life now?
It's not just her though.
[Chilchuck in angry voice] All of them are idiots.
Just total morons.
They think it's worth it to keep pushing themselves.
People like that?
It's impossible to convince them.
So, you lie to them instead?
[orc captain] I think there's a better way to handle this.
[shouting] Lying to get them to go back up to the surface
sounds like a perfect plan to me!
Perfect for a coward!
'Cause if you weren't aware, I'm more important!
[orc captain] That isn't what I meant.
Just be honest and tell them that you don't want them to die.
Hmm?
[footsteps receding]
-[sword clangs] -Oh.
[soft groan]
[Chilchuck] Dammit, what are you doing here?
You really chose to come all this way?
Although, I guess that makes you the smartest out of all of us.
[Chilchuck] A blood trail…
Like a dead body was dragged away.
[orc captain] Hey.
You coming or not?
Yeah. Sorry.
-[Laios and Senshi grunting] -Hey, I'm back and I got our stuff.
[shouting] Whoa, the hell are you doing?
You're supposed to be lying down!
No, I'm feeling fine.
That's because your sense of pain is off 'cause of the medicine!
Falin should… still be somewhere nearby!
[grunts]
Please just calm down.
[groaning softly]
[sighs]
I need to talk to you two.
You know, I actually thought about it and--
Senshi, let me talk first, okay?
-[Chilchuck] Laios… -Huh?
There's a lot going on in your heart that I don't understand.
But in our current situation, we can't continue exploring.
Someone's gonna… die.
[Laios gasps softly]
[Chilchuck] Laios, I'm begging you.
Can you hold off and return to the surface?
-I really don't wanna lose you guys! -[melancholy music playing]
I know it doesn't compare to how you feel about your sister…
but three people are in danger here!
If we mention the mad mage, the Island Lord might take action.
And we can scrounge up money and hire more people.
If we're prepared, then we can come back to this floor a lot faster later.
So, Laios, please…
let's all go back to the surface.
[breathing shakily]
[Senshi] If I'm being honest,
I only have a very small portion
of ingredients and spices left in my stock.
I'd like Falin to eat some good meals whenever we see her again.
So I'm all for returning to town and restocking.
[orc captain] I sent a message out about the Red Dragon.
Brother should have returned with the others eventually.
Once you finish all of your preparations and come back to the settlement again,
we will do the best we can to support your party.
[grunting]
All right.
[soft gasp]
I'm sorry that I worried you all.
-[Chilchuck sniffles] -[Laios] Let's pack up and head back.
[Chilchuck] Yeah.
[closing theme music playing]
