[theme music playing]

2
00:00:23,078 --> 00:00:24,955
DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON

3
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,652
We're finally back!

4
00:01:36,735 --> 00:01:37,569
[yawns]

5
00:01:37,653 --> 00:01:40,405
The air up here is so much better
than the dungeons'.

6
00:01:40,489 --> 00:01:42,574
{\an8}[Mickbell] Is this sunrise or sunset?

7
00:01:42,658 --> 00:01:44,034
{\an8}- [Maizuru] Do not touch the window!
- [both gasp]

8
00:01:44,117 --> 00:01:46,161
The spell is still in effect here!

9
00:01:46,245 --> 00:01:47,537
- Kabru.
- Hm?

10
00:01:47,621 --> 00:01:49,831
I'm reporting to the Island Lord tomorrow.

11
00:01:50,666 --> 00:01:52,542
I'd like you to join me as a witness.

12
00:01:52,626 --> 00:01:55,337
Do you plan on telling him
about everything?

13
00:01:55,420 --> 00:01:58,548
[Shuro] I don't think it's necessary
to mention Laios and his party.

14
00:01:59,258 --> 00:02:03,428
Mostly I just don't want Falin
to murder anyone else.

15
00:02:03,512 --> 00:02:04,805
That makes sense.

16
00:02:04,888 --> 00:02:07,099
Why don't you use the rest of the day
to get some sleep?

17
00:02:07,182 --> 00:02:08,934
[Mickbell] Whoa! See that, Kuro?

18
00:02:09,017 --> 00:02:10,310
[Kuro] Big ship. It's huge.

19
00:02:10,394 --> 00:02:11,812
- [gasps]
- [Mickbell] I wonder if the people on it

20
00:02:11,895 --> 00:02:13,146
{\an8}have lots of money!

21
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:14,189
{\an8}- [hurried footsteps]
- [both] Hm?

22
00:02:14,273 --> 00:02:15,315
{\an8}[gasps]

23
00:02:16,191 --> 00:02:18,068
[melancholy music playing]

24
00:02:18,151 --> 00:02:19,444
[Kabru] This isn't good.

25
00:02:20,279 --> 00:02:23,532
Toshiro, we need to see
the Island Lord right away.

26
00:02:24,241 --> 00:02:25,826
Is that ship special?

27
00:02:25,909 --> 00:02:28,203
It belongs to the Elves of the West.

28
00:02:28,870 --> 00:02:30,455
[Kabru] That bird figurehead.

29
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:32,874
Must be the Canaries then.

30
00:02:34,376 --> 00:02:37,713
[Kabru] <i>They appear when dungeons reach
a certain level of danger.</i>

31
00:02:38,297 --> 00:02:39,423
<i>When that happens,</i>

32
00:02:39,506 --> 00:02:42,843
<i>their mission is to investigate
the dungeon and conquer it.</i>

33
00:02:42,926 --> 00:02:46,388
I've heard rumors that they've been
putting pressure on the Island Lord,

34
00:02:46,471 --> 00:02:48,432
but it looks like they're switching
to coercion.

35
00:02:49,182 --> 00:02:50,976
How is something like that allowed?

36
00:02:51,059 --> 00:02:53,145
Isn't this a tall-men region?

37
00:02:53,854 --> 00:02:57,274
To the elves and dwarves,
races with short lives are like infants.

38
00:02:57,899 --> 00:03:01,236
And sadly, the Island Lord's
not very good at negotiating.

39
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:02,529
[Kabru] <i>Let's hurry.</i>

40
00:03:05,657 --> 00:03:06,491
Hm?

41
00:03:06,575 --> 00:03:08,243
[Namari] Hey!

42
00:03:08,326 --> 00:03:09,911
If it isn't Shuro!

43
00:03:09,995 --> 00:03:11,204
[Shuro] Hello, Namari.

44
00:03:11,288 --> 00:03:12,956
[sighs] Where is Falin?

45
00:03:13,790 --> 00:03:14,791
[sad groan]

46
00:03:14,875 --> 00:03:15,751
Hmm.

47
00:03:16,293 --> 00:03:18,712
Laios and the others
haven't given up yet, though.

48
00:03:19,254 --> 00:03:20,380
Is that so?

49
00:03:22,591 --> 00:03:25,427
{\an8}- Are they still eating monsters?
- Yes, they are.

50
00:03:25,969 --> 00:03:28,638
Excuse me,
but we're here to see the Island Lord.

51
00:03:28,722 --> 00:03:30,891
Oh, you're out of luck then.

52
00:03:30,974 --> 00:03:33,894
[Namari] Some important people
suddenly came to talk with him.

53
00:03:33,977 --> 00:03:36,396
And they've been in there for hours now.

54
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,314
[gasps]

55
00:03:37,397 --> 00:03:38,398
So we're too late.

56
00:03:38,899 --> 00:03:40,192
We have to go inside.

57
00:03:40,275 --> 00:03:41,401
Is that really wise?

58
00:03:41,485 --> 00:03:44,529
[Kabru] If the elves take control
of the dungeon, it's over.

59
00:03:45,447 --> 00:03:48,825
{\an8}The town I'm from also prospered
from a dungeon.

60
00:03:50,202 --> 00:03:53,163
[Kabru] <i>One day,
monsters flooded the town,</i>

61
00:03:53,246 --> 00:03:55,082
<i>the elves came, and many died.</i>

62
00:03:55,791 --> 00:03:59,086
<i>Why was my family
part of the ones who were killed?</i>

63
00:03:59,711 --> 00:04:03,465
<i>My mother was a single parent,
did everything she could to raise me.</i>

64
00:04:04,174 --> 00:04:06,176
<i>She didn't deserve to die like that.</i>

65
00:04:07,302 --> 00:04:09,846
[Kabru] I've vowed to never let
that happen again.

66
00:04:10,555 --> 00:04:13,725
{\an8}The system in which a single race
holds all the power,

67
00:04:13,809 --> 00:04:15,519
it isn't healthy for anyone.

68
00:04:16,353 --> 00:04:17,354
[soft groan]

69
00:04:21,942 --> 00:04:23,318
Forgive me, but...

70
00:04:23,402 --> 00:04:26,321
I've come here to deliver a report
to the Island Lord.

71
00:04:26,405 --> 00:04:27,989
[both groan]

72
00:04:28,615 --> 00:04:29,616
Excuse me.

73
00:04:29,699 --> 00:04:32,452
As you can see,
we're in the middle of something.

74
00:04:32,536 --> 00:04:33,787
[Cithis] Come back later.

75
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:36,623
It's a report about the situation
in the dungeon.

76
00:04:36,706 --> 00:04:38,166
[Kabru] Please hear me out.

77
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,752
- Seriously?
- It must be important.

78
00:04:40,836 --> 00:04:42,421
[Kabru] <i>Stand your ground.</i>

79
00:04:44,047 --> 00:04:45,173
Make it brief.

80
00:04:45,257 --> 00:04:48,051
Not too long ago, during our exploration,

81
00:04:48,135 --> 00:04:51,555
<i>we encountered a human
who turned into a monster.</i>

82
00:04:51,638 --> 00:04:53,306
{\an8}- What?
- [gasps]

83
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:54,933
Damn it. A Chimera.

84
00:04:55,016 --> 00:04:57,060
[Cithis] It's progressing faster
than expected.

85
00:04:57,144 --> 00:04:58,895
See? I told you all!

86
00:04:58,979 --> 00:05:01,731
We didn't have time to twiddle our thumbs
and wait for an answer!

87
00:05:01,815 --> 00:05:03,400
Let's give the order to make landfall!

88
00:05:03,483 --> 00:05:04,609
We won't allow that!

89
00:05:04,693 --> 00:05:06,987
[Cithis]
The elderly need not get worked up.

90
00:05:07,070 --> 00:05:10,866
Country borders are so trivial
compared to the lives of people.

91
00:05:10,949 --> 00:05:14,286
Just who do you think you are?
Treating me like I'm old and senile!

92
00:05:14,369 --> 00:05:16,872
Tansu, please, I think we've said enough.

93
00:05:16,955 --> 00:05:17,956
What?

94
00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:19,666
You're a true Island Lord.

95
00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:21,376
Understanding and wise.

96
00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:23,378
[Lycion] Now,
if you would please stamp here.

97
00:05:23,462 --> 00:05:25,589
[Mr. Tansu] Don't do it!
You can't give in!

98
00:05:25,672 --> 00:05:28,717
Did we actually end up
making things worse here?

99
00:05:29,217 --> 00:05:30,385
{\an8}[Kabru] <i>The truth is...</i>

100
00:05:31,052 --> 00:05:33,680
<i>if I had enough strength
to conquer a dungeon,</i>

101
00:05:33,763 --> 00:05:35,265
<i>there wouldn't be a problem.</i>

102
00:05:35,849 --> 00:05:36,933
<i>But I don't.</i>

103
00:05:37,601 --> 00:05:40,020
<i>So I started looking around
for adventurers</i>

104
00:05:40,103 --> 00:05:42,063
<i>who were more skilled that I could assist.</i>

105
00:05:43,398 --> 00:05:47,235
{\an8}<i>However, most of the people I found
were self-serving and worthless.</i>

106
00:05:47,903 --> 00:05:51,990
{\an8}<i>By the time I accepted my fate
and tried to conquer the dungeon myself,</i>

107
00:05:52,073 --> 00:05:54,868
<i>I heard rumors about the Touden siblings.</i>

108
00:05:54,951 --> 00:05:57,579
I have a feeling
that they were brought up pretty well.

109
00:05:57,662 --> 00:06:00,248
They have good instincts,
but no real ambition.

110
00:06:00,332 --> 00:06:02,626
[gold stripper]
They're honestly kinda weird.

111
00:06:02,709 --> 00:06:05,712
[Kabru] <i>The more I found out,
the stranger they seemed.</i>

112
00:06:05,795 --> 00:06:07,797
<i>Despite not being that strong,</i>

113
00:06:07,881 --> 00:06:10,175
<i>they reached the deeper floors
of the dungeon.</i>

114
00:06:10,258 --> 00:06:13,053
<i>They would give money
to people with poor reputations.</i>

115
00:06:13,136 --> 00:06:15,555
<i>And their origins
and the strange company they kept</i>

116
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:16,890
<i>were hard to follow.</i>

117
00:06:16,973 --> 00:06:19,643
<i>Still, there's something about the brother</i>

118
00:06:19,726 --> 00:06:23,396
<i>that made me feel he was deeply connected
to the destiny of this island.</i>

119
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,773
- [Kabru] Hey.
- <i>The question was...</i>

120
00:06:24,856 --> 00:06:26,733
- [Laios] I'm sorry. I'm in a rush.
- <i>...would his role be good or bad.</i>

121
00:06:26,816 --> 00:06:27,692
[Kabru] May I sit next to you?

122
00:06:27,776 --> 00:06:28,985
- <i>To decide that...</i>
- [Laios] Thanks for the meal.

123
00:06:29,069 --> 00:06:30,862
- <i>...I wanted to speak with him directly.</i>
- [Kabru] You dropped something!

124
00:06:30,946 --> 00:06:33,406
<i>And once I did, I finally understood.</i>

125
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:34,491
[magical chiming]

126
00:06:34,574 --> 00:06:36,743
<i>He only thinks about monsters.</i>

127
00:06:36,826 --> 00:06:40,622
<i>Therefore, we can't trust him
to consider the future of the island.</i>

128
00:06:40,705 --> 00:06:43,124
<i>But there's one thing I can say for sure.</i>

129
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:45,752
<i>At this moment, among the tall-men,</i>

130
00:06:45,835 --> 00:06:48,630
<i>he's the one who's closest
to the heart of the dungeon.</i>

131
00:06:48,713 --> 00:06:52,092
<i>This will more than likely be the first
and last chance we get.</i>

132
00:06:52,175 --> 00:06:54,886
<i>So I can't let the elves get in his way.</i>

133
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:58,139
{\an8}<i>I'll figure out what to do
about him after.</i>

134
00:06:58,223 --> 00:06:59,975
- Enough already.
- Huh?

135
00:07:00,058 --> 00:07:01,518
You can do whatever you want.

136
00:07:01,601 --> 00:07:02,519
- [happy gasp]
- [Mr. Tansu] My lord!

137
00:07:02,602 --> 00:07:04,104
- I'll let them know to make landfall.
- [angry groan]

138
00:07:04,187 --> 00:07:05,897
- [Kabru] Please wait!
- Hm?

139
00:07:05,981 --> 00:07:07,357
It's too dangerous.

140
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,819
The types of monsters, architecture,
and environments,

141
00:07:10,902 --> 00:07:12,279
all of it is in turmoil.

142
00:07:12,362 --> 00:07:14,322
We're already aware of this.

143
00:07:14,406 --> 00:07:16,950
It's a characteristic of dungeons
showing growth.

144
00:07:17,033 --> 00:07:19,035
We have to stop it as soon as possible.

145
00:07:19,119 --> 00:07:21,538
In human terms, a growth spurt.

146
00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:24,040
This is when it requires
the most nutrients.

147
00:07:24,124 --> 00:07:25,542
What's all this now?

148
00:07:25,625 --> 00:07:27,919
[Kabru] About 15 years ago,

149
00:07:28,003 --> 00:07:30,338
a dungeon destroyed my hometown.

150
00:07:31,131 --> 00:07:32,924
It was a town called Utaya.

151
00:07:33,008 --> 00:07:34,509
Fifteen years ago?

152
00:07:34,593 --> 00:07:35,552
Then, wouldn't that mean...

153
00:07:35,635 --> 00:07:38,680
No way! Are you the child
they say survived that incident?

154
00:07:38,763 --> 00:07:40,974
I did hear that the vice-captain
or someone

155
00:07:41,057 --> 00:07:42,601
had brought a young one home with them.

156
00:07:42,684 --> 00:07:43,518
[Kabru] Yes.

157
00:07:43,602 --> 00:07:45,604
They took care of me for several years.

158
00:07:45,687 --> 00:07:46,521
Oh?

159
00:07:46,605 --> 00:07:49,065
You were probably spoiled,
but became an adventurer?

160
00:07:49,149 --> 00:07:52,694
It was my dream to join a squad,
but I couldn't as a tall-man.

161
00:07:53,194 --> 00:07:57,490
I didn't wanna repeat that tragedy,
so I wanted a way to help.

162
00:07:57,574 --> 00:07:58,742
[Cithis] How admirable.

163
00:07:58,825 --> 00:08:00,327
[Fleki] Are you getting enough to eat?

164
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:02,996
You should go and visit
the vice-captain sometime.

165
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:04,331
[Mithrun] Anyway...

166
00:08:04,414 --> 00:08:05,332
[gasps]

167
00:08:05,415 --> 00:08:08,084
You mentioned "nutrients".

168
00:08:08,168 --> 00:08:09,336
Tell me more.

169
00:08:10,045 --> 00:08:12,339
{\an8}Well, because of your efforts,

170
00:08:12,422 --> 00:08:15,091
{\an8}Utaya's dungeon was
quickly destroyed. However...

171
00:08:15,675 --> 00:08:18,345
<i>there were many casualties
among the soldiers and civilians.</i>

172
00:08:19,429 --> 00:08:21,723
<i>It was due to the dead
turning into monsters</i>

173
00:08:21,806 --> 00:08:22,974
<i>and eating the living.</i>

174
00:08:23,933 --> 00:08:27,354
<i>Soldiers were ambushed
before they could do anything.</i>

175
00:08:27,437 --> 00:08:30,732
Rely on numbers,
and Utaya will repeat itself.

176
00:08:30,815 --> 00:08:33,360
I suggest we seal the dungeon instead.

177
00:08:33,943 --> 00:08:36,488
{\an8}We can't do anything
that will end up feeding it.

178
00:08:36,571 --> 00:08:39,824
I'm pretty sure it's not your intention
to cause damage to the dungeon

179
00:08:39,908 --> 00:08:41,618
during combat anyway.

180
00:08:41,701 --> 00:08:43,244
How many people are inside?

181
00:08:43,328 --> 00:08:45,664
[Kabru] The majority of them
are on the first floor.

182
00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:47,916
Let's evacuate them slowly.

183
00:08:48,541 --> 00:08:50,835
All humans have some sort of connection.

184
00:08:51,503 --> 00:08:54,255
And I know some people
who can definitely help out.

185
00:08:54,881 --> 00:08:55,965
So just leave it to me!

186
00:08:58,176 --> 00:08:59,260
{\an8}[surprised gasp]

187
00:08:59,844 --> 00:09:01,012
[Shuro] <i>Kabru...</i>

188
00:09:01,096 --> 00:09:04,641
<i>he still ate monsters
despite everything he went through?</i>

189
00:09:07,477 --> 00:09:08,770
[Mithrun] Begin preparations...

190
00:09:08,853 --> 00:09:09,771
[shocked gasp]

191
00:09:09,854 --> 00:09:11,648
- ...for the investigation.
- Huh?

192
00:09:13,358 --> 00:09:15,276
{\an8}I suspect you're plotting something.

193
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,655
[Mithrun] If that's the case,
show me what you've got.

194
00:09:18,738 --> 00:09:21,491
Should anything go wrong,
my troops will rush in.

195
00:09:21,574 --> 00:09:22,409
[both groan]

196
00:09:22,492 --> 00:09:23,535
Understood?

197
00:09:24,119 --> 00:09:25,036
Yes.

198
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:31,668
[yawns]

199
00:09:31,751 --> 00:09:33,253
[Izutsumi groans]

200
00:09:33,837 --> 00:09:35,630
[Senshi] So are they like scrambled eggs?

201
00:09:35,714 --> 00:09:36,631
Huh?

202
00:09:36,715 --> 00:09:40,009
[Senshi] You said before
that people compare souls to eggs.

203
00:09:40,093 --> 00:09:42,262
But if you're referring to souls
that are mixed together,

204
00:09:42,345 --> 00:09:45,765
then what would that mean
in relation to how eggs are cooked?

205
00:09:45,849 --> 00:09:48,893
For example, scrambled eggs,
a sunny-side-up egg,

206
00:09:48,977 --> 00:09:51,771
and a poached egg
would all have different stories.

207
00:09:51,855 --> 00:09:52,939
Listen, Senshi.

208
00:09:53,022 --> 00:09:55,567
I didn't make that comparison
for you to take what I said

209
00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:57,277
and try to make a joke out of it.

210
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,778
[Senshi] Who's making jokes?

211
00:09:58,862 --> 00:10:02,657
I was actually impressed
by how interesting a comparison it was.

212
00:10:02,741 --> 00:10:06,745
There's nothing else that behaves
in as many different ways as an egg does.

213
00:10:06,828 --> 00:10:09,289
For example, eggs get firm when heated,

214
00:10:09,372 --> 00:10:12,167
but the white and yolk solidify
at different temperatures.

215
00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:15,128
Frothiness, moisture attention, viscosity.

216
00:10:15,211 --> 00:10:19,007
And the most interesting one, emulsification.

217
00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:22,010
Even things that don't mix naturally
like oil and water,

218
00:10:22,093 --> 00:10:24,345
mix beautifully
under the right conditions.

219
00:10:24,429 --> 00:10:25,597
Just like this.

220
00:10:26,222 --> 00:10:27,223
Well, that's...

221
00:10:27,724 --> 00:10:29,893
Wait, souls are actually
nothing like eggs!

222
00:10:29,976 --> 00:10:31,394
- [sighs]
- Laios, you mind handing me

223
00:10:31,478 --> 00:10:32,353
that bread there?

224
00:10:34,355 --> 00:10:36,107
- [grunts]
- [groans] Hm?

225
00:10:43,490 --> 00:10:44,699
[Senshi] It's ready!

226
00:10:44,783 --> 00:10:47,410
SOUL EGGS BENEDICT

227
00:10:48,703 --> 00:10:50,914
So, how are we supposed to eat this?

228
00:10:50,997 --> 00:10:53,416
{\an8}[Senshi] Pick up the bread
with your knife and fork.

229
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:56,461
{\an8}Then use the bread to scoop
the yolk and sauce as you eat.

230
00:11:02,133 --> 00:11:04,177
[Laios] Delicious as usual.

231
00:11:05,094 --> 00:11:06,304
- [Izutsumi groans]
- Hm?

232
00:11:06,387 --> 00:11:07,680
If you don't mind,

233
00:11:07,764 --> 00:11:10,683
could you stop looking around
at stuff that isn't really there?

234
00:11:10,767 --> 00:11:12,393
Or is there something?

235
00:11:12,477 --> 00:11:13,436
I don't think so.

236
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,189
[Izutsumi] I just thought
I felt some kind of presence.

237
00:11:16,272 --> 00:11:17,148
Huh?

238
00:11:17,232 --> 00:11:18,066
[terrified gasp]

239
00:11:18,149 --> 00:11:20,818
{\an8}Does that mean this isn't a hallucination?

240
00:11:21,694 --> 00:11:22,737
Huh?

241
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:24,072
[creepy music playing]

242
00:11:24,155 --> 00:11:26,824
Well, when I got mana sickness,

243
00:11:26,908 --> 00:11:29,619
remember when I mentioned
I was seeing and hearing things?

244
00:11:29,702 --> 00:11:31,454
That never went away.

245
00:11:31,538 --> 00:11:33,748
Seriously? Why didn't you say something?

246
00:11:33,831 --> 00:11:36,584
Because Chil would just yell at me
and tell me I'm sick in the head.

247
00:11:36,668 --> 00:11:38,002
That's because you are.

248
00:11:38,086 --> 00:11:39,128
[dejected sigh]

249
00:11:39,212 --> 00:11:40,838
[Senshi] What are you hallucinating?

250
00:11:41,673 --> 00:11:43,466
Hm? [groans]

251
00:11:43,550 --> 00:11:46,844
Day in and day out,
something keeps trying to talk to me.

252
00:11:46,928 --> 00:11:49,347
[Laios] <i>At first,
I couldn't tell what it was saying.</i>

253
00:11:49,931 --> 00:11:53,226
<i>But gradually, its voice and shape
started getting clearer.</i>

254
00:11:53,309 --> 00:11:56,604
<i>It's pretty scary,
so I've been pretending not to see it.</i>

255
00:11:56,688 --> 00:12:00,024
Then you could actually
hear me speaking after all.

256
00:12:00,108 --> 00:12:00,984
[groans]

257
00:12:01,067 --> 00:12:02,902
[Marcille] So what did it say?

258
00:12:02,986 --> 00:12:05,738
[Laios] Well, it's not too happy
that I was ignoring it.

259
00:12:05,822 --> 00:12:07,865
I wonder if talking to it is okay.

260
00:12:07,949 --> 00:12:09,409
[Marcille] Do you think it's evil?

261
00:12:09,492 --> 00:12:10,868
[Laios] Uh, not sure.

262
00:12:10,952 --> 00:12:12,870
- Possibly?
- [ghost 1 grunts]

263
00:12:13,496 --> 00:12:14,414
Hello there.

264
00:12:14,497 --> 00:12:16,082
[Laios] Can I help you with something?

265
00:12:16,165 --> 00:12:17,417
- [indistinct chatter]
- Uh-huh.

266
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,418
[Laios] Hmm.

267
00:12:18,501 --> 00:12:19,836
What's it saying now?

268
00:12:20,336 --> 00:12:23,256
[Laios] It's mad at me because I thought
it was an evil ghost.

269
00:12:23,339 --> 00:12:24,173
[both groan]

270
00:12:24,257 --> 00:12:25,300
- Also...
- [all] Hm?

271
00:12:25,967 --> 00:12:29,554
...it's asking if we've forgotten
that it saved us from the, uh, mage.

272
00:12:29,637 --> 00:12:30,680
Huh?

273
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,516
[Marcille] <i>Oh, wait, I remember!</i>

274
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,144
Right. How can I forget that whole thing?

275
00:12:36,227 --> 00:12:37,645
[Senshi] Please give it our thanks.

276
00:12:37,729 --> 00:12:39,147
Hm. Mm-hm.

277
00:12:39,230 --> 00:12:41,649
I guess it wants
to introduce us to someone.

278
00:12:41,733 --> 00:12:43,026
[Laios] Thoughts?

279
00:12:43,109 --> 00:12:44,861
It's not the god of death, is it?

280
00:12:44,944 --> 00:12:46,988
Well, we don't have many options, so...

281
00:12:47,071 --> 00:12:47,905
All right!

282
00:12:47,989 --> 00:12:50,283
[Laios] We're ready to go
whenever you are!

283
00:12:51,242 --> 00:12:52,410
[eerie music playing]

284
00:12:52,493 --> 00:12:54,078
[scared gasping]

285
00:12:54,162 --> 00:12:56,039
[all gasping]

286
00:12:56,122 --> 00:12:58,166
- [all screaming]
- [groans, gasps]

287

[grunts]

288
00:13:01,502 --> 00:13:03,921
[screaming]

289
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:10,928
[screeching]

290
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,097
[birds chirping]

291
00:13:13,181 --> 00:13:14,182
[moans]

292
00:13:14,265 --> 00:13:16,059
[both groan]

293
00:13:16,142 --> 00:13:17,226
[soft groan]

294
00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:19,187
Huh? [soft gasp]

295
00:13:19,270 --> 00:13:20,605
{\an8}- Huh?
- [wind gusting]

296
00:13:20,688 --> 00:13:21,606
{\an8}[shocked gasp]

297
00:13:22,982 --> 00:13:24,275
[Marcille groans]

00:13:27,403 --> 00:13:29,030
- [gasps]
- [retches]

299
00:13:29,113 --> 00:13:30,740
Wait. What the heck?

300
00:13:30,823 --> 00:13:32,450
Where are we?

301
00:13:32,533 --> 00:13:34,243
- [villager 1] Hey!
- Huh?

302
00:13:34,327 --> 00:13:36,245
Out of the road, please!

303
00:13:36,329 --> 00:13:38,831
Is... that a Unicorn?

304
00:13:40,708 --> 00:13:41,918
That clothing...

305
00:13:42,001 --> 00:13:43,628
Did you guys come from the outside?

306
00:13:43,711 --> 00:13:46,506
No, we came from the dungeon and--

307
00:13:46,589 --> 00:13:47,965
[villager 1] I can't believe it!

308
00:13:48,049 --> 00:13:49,092
Uh, come with me!

309
00:13:51,344 --> 00:13:55,264
[tranquil music playing]

310
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:59,268
[Laios] I have never seen monsters
be this docile before.

311
00:13:59,352 --> 00:14:01,145
It's 'cause they're ordered
not to hurt us,

312
00:14:01,229 --> 00:14:03,564
- so we can coexist here.
- Oh.

313
00:14:03,648 --> 00:14:05,900
That's not gonna be the case
for outsiders though.

314
00:14:06,484 --> 00:14:09,028
[villager 1] So make sure you hold on
to the stuff I gave you.

315
00:14:09,112 --> 00:14:09,946
- [Izutsumi groans]
- Hm?

316
00:14:10,029 --> 00:14:11,906
Izutsumi, something wrong?

317
00:14:11,989 --> 00:14:13,408
Teleportation sickness?

318
00:14:13,491 --> 00:14:15,159
She's probably tired.

319
00:14:16,703 --> 00:14:18,621
[Laios] Is that the Golden Castle?

320
00:14:18,705 --> 00:14:19,539
[villager 1] Sure is.

321
00:14:20,206 --> 00:14:22,458
And the ghosts that brought us
to this place,

322
00:14:22,542 --> 00:14:24,544
are they actual residents too?

323
00:14:24,627 --> 00:14:25,670
Pretty much.

324
00:14:25,753 --> 00:14:29,007
Well, the person you're about to meet
has more info.

325
00:14:29,090 --> 00:14:31,175
Maybe they'll know why you were chosen.

326
00:14:31,259 --> 00:14:32,760
[villager 1] 'Cause we sure don't.

327
00:14:32,844 --> 00:14:34,429
We were "chosen"?

328
00:14:35,513 --> 00:14:36,806
[villager 1 sighs]
This is it.

329
00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:37,932
Just sit tight, okay?

330
00:14:41,144 --> 00:14:43,438
If you're looking for the master,
he went to the church.

331
00:14:43,521 --> 00:14:45,565
[villager 1 panting]

332
00:14:46,149 --> 00:14:47,817
- It's them.
- Huh?

333
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,110
[villager 2] Those guys?

334
00:14:50,403 --> 00:14:52,572
[villager 1] Guess we came here
at a pretty bad time.

335
00:14:52,655 --> 00:14:54,782
- [soft groan]
- Until the master comes back here,

336
00:14:54,866 --> 00:14:57,076
why don't you try to relax in the village?

337
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,078
{\an8}[villager 1] Seems like everyone
really wants

338
00:14:59,162 --> 00:15:00,830
{\an8}to show you their hospitality.

339
00:15:00,913 --> 00:15:03,499
What should we take them around
to see first?

340
00:15:03,583 --> 00:15:05,334
{\an8}The village isn't that special so...

341
00:15:05,418 --> 00:15:07,920
{\an8}They're all residents
of the Golden Castle?

342
00:15:08,004 --> 00:15:09,756
{\an8}[Senshi] Yeah,
but I don't see any old folk.

343
00:15:10,298 --> 00:15:13,051
{\an8}Honestly, I'd like to see
where the monsters are being raised!

344
00:15:13,134 --> 00:15:13,968
{\an8}[both] Huh?

345
00:15:14,052 --> 00:15:17,346
{\an8}[Senshi] I wanna take a tour
of the fields we saw on the way over.

346
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:19,766
Huh? That's what you're interested in?

347
00:15:19,849 --> 00:15:21,976
I mean, that's easy enough.

348
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:23,978
- [all] Hurray!
- [laughter]

349
00:15:24,562 --> 00:15:26,481
[Marcille] I'll just wait for them
to get back.

350
00:15:26,564 --> 00:15:29,192
Can't leave Izutsumi alone anyway.

351
00:15:29,275 --> 00:15:30,234
I agree.

352
00:15:30,318 --> 00:15:32,278
[Laios] Th--That's a Minotaur!

353
00:15:32,361 --> 00:15:33,988
And it's female!

354
00:15:34,072 --> 00:15:35,364
[awed gasp]

355
00:15:35,448 --> 00:15:36,866
We milk this instead of cows.

356
00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:38,785
Why are you raising monsters?

357
00:15:38,868 --> 00:15:39,702
Oh.

358
00:15:39,786 --> 00:15:42,246
Because normal livestock
was hard to get a hold of.

359
00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:43,706
Whoa.

360
00:15:45,958 --> 00:15:47,877
{\an8}[awed gasp]

361
00:15:50,838 --> 00:15:51,923
[Senshi] Wow.

362
00:15:52,006 --> 00:15:53,466
What a beautiful field.

363
00:15:53,549 --> 00:15:55,384
It's so well-tended too.

364
00:15:55,968 --> 00:15:58,471
Is everything here used up
by the villagers?

365
00:15:58,554 --> 00:16:00,973
We admittedly waste quite a lot of it.

366
00:16:01,057 --> 00:16:03,017
But if we didn't have fields
to keep us busy,

367
00:16:03,101 --> 00:16:04,393
we'd have nothing to do.

368
00:16:04,477 --> 00:16:07,688
[villager 3] It's mostly in appearance,
but we try to mimic surface life.

369
00:16:07,772 --> 00:16:08,856
Really?

370
00:16:09,857 --> 00:16:10,900
[worried groan]

371
00:16:10,983 --> 00:16:13,277
Izutsumi, are you okay?

372
00:16:14,821 --> 00:16:16,030
[breathes softly]

373
00:16:16,114 --> 00:16:18,533
[Marcille] <i>At least
she doesn't seem sick, I guess.</i>

374
00:16:18,616 --> 00:16:19,784
[Marcille groans]

375
00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:22,411
- Sorry. We don't mean to interrupt but...
- Huh?

376
00:16:22,495 --> 00:16:24,080
- [quirky music playing]
- Hm.

377
00:16:24,163 --> 00:16:25,540
Dresses?

378
00:16:25,623 --> 00:16:26,624
Exactly!

379
00:16:26,707 --> 00:16:28,376
They're dresses we made by hand.

380
00:16:28,459 --> 00:16:30,795
We've got so bored
of modeling them ourselves,

381
00:16:30,878 --> 00:16:32,797
we need the fresh face
of an outsider to do it.

382
00:16:33,422 --> 00:16:34,799
Sure if you want me to.

383
00:16:34,882 --> 00:16:36,050
[villagers squealing happily]

384
00:16:36,134 --> 00:16:37,426
Which should we try?

385
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:39,303
It has to be the red one.

386
00:16:39,387 --> 00:16:40,429
You'll have to forgive us.

387
00:16:40,513 --> 00:16:43,975
Our dresses might seem a little
old-fashioned from your perspective.

388
00:16:44,058 --> 00:16:45,434
I'm sure it's fine.

389
00:16:46,811 --> 00:16:48,437
[ethereal music playing]

390
00:16:48,521 --> 00:16:49,355
[all exclaim]

391
00:16:49,438 --> 00:16:52,942
[Marcille] <i>Somehow, this is different
than what I expected.</i>

392
00:16:53,025 --> 00:16:54,277
<i>Guess this is what happens</i>

393
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,821
<i>when you've been isolated
for a thousand years.</i>

394
00:16:56,904 --> 00:16:58,197
[villager 4] Try this on next!

395
00:16:58,281 --> 00:17:00,199
[Chilchuck gulping]

396
00:17:00,283 --> 00:17:01,576
[loud exhale]

397
00:17:01,659 --> 00:17:02,702
This is great!

398
00:17:03,286 --> 00:17:06,581
I'm pretty picky about my alcohol,
but this isn't bad at all.

399
00:17:06,664 --> 00:17:07,915
Happy to hear.

400
00:17:07,999 --> 00:17:10,126
I've been serving it to my orc customers,

401
00:17:10,209 --> 00:17:12,587
and this recent batch
is really popular among them.

402
00:17:14,422 --> 00:17:15,423
Yeah, I bet.

403
00:17:15,506 --> 00:17:17,842
Oh, what about wine? Do you make that?

404
00:17:17,925 --> 00:17:20,761
Well, I do, but it's much newer
than making ale.

405
00:17:20,845 --> 00:17:24,557
Been doing that 400 years now,
so making the switch has been tricky.

406
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,058
[Chilchuck] That long, huh?

407
00:17:26,142 --> 00:17:27,810
Sounds pretty established.

408
00:17:27,894 --> 00:17:29,270
What generation are you?

409
00:17:29,353 --> 00:17:32,481
I started it when I was 600,
so first generation.

410
00:17:33,482 --> 00:17:35,359
- [Chilchuck] Come again? Hm?
- [hurried footsteps]

411
00:17:35,443 --> 00:17:36,694
Chilchuck. Guess what?

412
00:17:36,777 --> 00:17:38,237
They let me milk a Minotaur!

413
00:17:38,321 --> 00:17:39,739
- [Laios panting]
- [Chilchuck] Hey, good for you.

414
00:17:39,822 --> 00:17:41,199
Keep that to yourself next time.

415
00:17:41,282 --> 00:17:43,117
- [Senshi] This place is incredible!
- [both] Huh?

416
00:17:43,201 --> 00:17:45,661
They completely succeeded
in cultivating monsters

417
00:17:45,745 --> 00:17:46,871
and made it an art!

418
00:17:46,954 --> 00:17:47,997
Do you see that?

419
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,666
[Senshi] It's the biggest Dryad garden
I've ever seen!

420
00:17:50,750 --> 00:17:52,793
The Minotaur had four nipples like a cow!

421
00:17:52,877 --> 00:17:55,796
- [garbled chatter]
- I'm not feeling so good.

422
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,883
That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

423
00:17:58,966 --> 00:18:00,551
You really missed out.

424
00:18:00,635 --> 00:18:03,054
By the way, where did the other two go?

425
00:18:03,137 --> 00:18:05,097
What's with the weird non sequitur?

426
00:18:05,181 --> 00:18:07,266
- [Marcille] Uh, we're over here.
- [heels thudding]

427
00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:09,477
[playful music playing]

428
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,770
[soft groan]

429
00:18:11,771 --> 00:18:14,398
[Chilchuck] What in the hell are
you wearing? Playing dress up, huh?

430
00:18:14,482 --> 00:18:15,900
D-Don't misunderstand!

431
00:18:15,983 --> 00:18:17,902
I was asked to wear this, I swear.

432
00:18:18,486 --> 00:18:19,320
Actually...

433
00:18:19,403 --> 00:18:21,614
This was the tamest one I tried on.

434
00:18:21,697 --> 00:18:22,531
NOT TAME

435
00:18:22,615 --> 00:18:24,784
Marcille, you, uh...

436
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:27,245
Uh, yeah, Laios?

437
00:18:29,247 --> 00:18:31,791
[Laios] You have any clue
why she's stuck to you like that?

438
00:18:31,874 --> 00:18:33,292
Oh, that-- that? Right, yeah!

439
00:18:33,376 --> 00:18:35,169
I have no idea. That's so weird!

440
00:18:35,836 --> 00:18:39,298
[sighs] It's like she's switched brains
with a child or something.

441
00:18:39,382 --> 00:18:40,258
- [groans]
- [grunts]

442
00:18:40,341 --> 00:18:41,592
Oh!

443
00:18:41,676 --> 00:18:42,593
- No!
- Huh?

444
00:18:43,386 --> 00:18:45,304
[Marcille] Lots of barriers
have been cast here

445
00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:46,806
in many different layers.

446
00:18:46,889 --> 00:18:50,309
And it seems like
it's affecting Izutsumi in some way.

447
00:18:50,393 --> 00:18:52,645
It's because she's half-monster, right?

448
00:18:52,728 --> 00:18:53,562
[Marcille] Yeah.

449
00:18:53,646 --> 00:18:57,900
But I've never seen a barrier
make monsters not aggressive before.

450
00:18:58,943 --> 00:19:01,320
[Marcille]
I really wish I could decipher this.

451
00:19:01,904 --> 00:19:05,074
{\an8}But I don't know most of these characters
and I don't have time to learn!

452
00:19:05,157 --> 00:19:08,953
{\an8}Why the hell do these things have to be
so hard to read and secretive?

453
00:19:09,537 --> 00:19:12,331
Anyway, this really is an amazing place.

454
00:19:12,915 --> 00:19:14,709
[Marcille] Under different circumstances,

455
00:19:14,792 --> 00:19:17,086
I wouldn't mind staying here forever.

456
00:19:18,629 --> 00:19:19,547
Same here.

457
00:19:23,050 --> 00:19:24,010
[Chilchuck groans]

458
00:19:24,093 --> 00:19:25,469
- [door creaks open]
- [both] Hm?

459
00:19:25,553 --> 00:19:27,471
[villager 5]
My apologies for the long wait.

460
00:19:27,555 --> 00:19:28,431
{\an8}It isn't much,

461
00:19:28,514 --> 00:19:30,850
{\an8}but we've prepared a warm meal
for all of you.

462
00:19:30,933 --> 00:19:32,059
{\an8}This way, please.

463
00:19:34,145 --> 00:19:35,604
- [door creaks open]
- Huh?

464
00:19:36,564 --> 00:19:38,149
[man] Uh, welcome, everyone.

465
00:19:38,232 --> 00:19:39,859
I've been wanting to meet you.

466
00:19:39,942 --> 00:19:41,902
I'm Yaad. It's a pleasure.

467
00:19:41,986 --> 00:19:43,612
You already know of Delgal, yes?

468
00:19:43,696 --> 00:19:45,698
[Yaad] Well, he's my grandfather.

469
00:19:45,781 --> 00:19:46,866
Delgal...

470
00:19:46,949 --> 00:19:48,993
[Yaad] Please, feel free to take a seat.

471
00:19:49,577 --> 00:19:51,579
You're wondering why I've called you here.

472
00:19:51,662 --> 00:19:53,622
This will take some time to explain.

473
00:19:54,290 --> 00:19:55,499
Let's eat first.

474
00:19:57,835 --> 00:19:59,795
VEGETABLES IN SLIME ASPIC
BEEF RIB STEAK

475
00:19:59,879 --> 00:20:01,756
BLADE FISH LOAF
POTATO AND RABBIT SOUP

476
00:20:01,839 --> 00:20:04,008
Uh, is this meat?

477
00:20:04,091 --> 00:20:07,178
Yes! As your party
had specifically requested,

478
00:20:07,261 --> 00:20:08,888
we prepared Minotaur meat.

479
00:20:08,971 --> 00:20:11,015
[both groan]

480
00:20:11,098 --> 00:20:14,352
Does everyone in the village
routinely eat monsters too?

481
00:20:14,435 --> 00:20:15,644
There are some who do,

482
00:20:15,728 --> 00:20:18,147
although we don't really need
to consume food.

483
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:19,398
[both] Huh?

484
00:20:19,482 --> 00:20:21,901
[Yaad] Our sense of taste
has completely dulled.

485
00:20:21,984 --> 00:20:25,404
Aside from that,
we have no real appetite to speak of.

486
00:20:26,030 --> 00:20:28,157
Such is the curse of immortality

487
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,285
that the mad mage cast
on the people of this village.

488
00:20:31,369 --> 00:20:32,328
{\an8}[Senshi] Hmm.

489
00:20:33,704 --> 00:20:36,165
{\an8}Do you know why the mage
would do something like that?

490
00:20:36,248 --> 00:20:37,375
{\an8}No.

491
00:20:37,458 --> 00:20:39,835
{\an8}When I grew old enough
to know what was happening,

492
00:20:39,919 --> 00:20:41,379
{\an8}the mage was already in a state

493
00:20:41,462 --> 00:20:43,798
{\an8}where communicating with him
was difficult.

494
00:20:45,007 --> 00:20:47,593
But please, don't let
our problems stop you.

495
00:20:47,676 --> 00:20:49,762
Go eat up to your heart's content.

496
00:20:49,845 --> 00:20:51,097
We may not get hungry,

497
00:20:51,180 --> 00:20:54,683
but simply being able to watch others eat
still brings us joy.

498
00:20:55,267 --> 00:20:56,644
[Marcille and Chilchuck]
<i>Well, now I definitely can't say</i>

499
00:20:56,727 --> 00:20:58,521
<i>that I don't really wanna eat this.</i>

500
00:21:01,524 --> 00:21:02,566
Grandfather...

501
00:21:03,275 --> 00:21:05,444
[Yaad] <i>For as long as I can remember,</i>

502
00:21:05,528 --> 00:21:08,906
<i>he always blamed himself
for being the one who made the mad mage</i>

503
00:21:08,989 --> 00:21:10,825
<i>become obsessed with black magic.</i>

504
00:21:11,409 --> 00:21:14,662
<i>So in order to look for help,
he headed to the surface.</i>

505
00:21:16,163 --> 00:21:19,083
Perhaps you know,
how did he fare up there?

506
00:21:19,166 --> 00:21:20,876
Well, from what I've heard,

507
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,838
he was seen emerging
from the underground cemetery.

508
00:21:23,921 --> 00:21:26,382
[Marcille] <i>He claimed he was the king
of a ruined country,</i>

509
00:21:26,465 --> 00:21:30,052
<i>and would give his entire kingdom
to the one who defeated the mad mage,</i>

510
00:21:30,136 --> 00:21:31,846
<i>then turned to dust.</i>

511
00:21:31,929 --> 00:21:33,597
[Yaad] Is that so?

512
00:21:34,181 --> 00:21:36,600
He's finally been released from his agony.

513
00:21:36,684 --> 00:21:38,602
Knowing this brings me solace.

514
00:21:38,686 --> 00:21:41,355
[Yaad] Many people have attempted
to escape the curse

515
00:21:41,439 --> 00:21:42,731
by leaving the village.

516
00:21:43,357 --> 00:21:45,025
However, none have succeeded.

517
00:21:45,109 --> 00:21:47,570
And their physical bodies
are lost as a result.

518
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,449
[Yaad] <i>Without a body,
you gradually lose yourself,</i>

519
00:21:51,532 --> 00:21:55,619
<i>become an evil ghost,
and then are unable to return here.</i>

520
00:21:56,203 --> 00:21:58,497
I'm sure you've encountered
these ghosts before.

521
00:21:58,581 --> 00:21:59,498
[Laios party] <i>Yeah!</i>

522
00:21:59,582 --> 00:22:01,375
<i>We attacked them with holy water</i>

523
00:22:01,459 --> 00:22:04,003
<i>and then made a sorbet out of them!</i>

524
00:22:04,086 --> 00:22:08,632
So, anyway, you never told us
why we were called to this place.

525
00:22:08,716 --> 00:22:09,925
The prophecy.

526
00:22:10,009 --> 00:22:10,968
[Marcille] Prophecy?

527
00:22:11,051 --> 00:22:11,886
Indeed.

528
00:22:11,969 --> 00:22:15,473
[Yaad] "One shall arrive at the village
with winged sword in hand,

529
00:22:15,556 --> 00:22:18,517
they will be the hero
who will defeat the mad mage

530
00:22:18,601 --> 00:22:20,019
and set us all free."

531
00:22:20,102 --> 00:22:21,228
[Chilchuck] Winged sword?

532
00:22:21,312 --> 00:22:22,646
Does he mean Kensuke?

533
00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:25,149
Well, there are wings on it, although...

534
00:22:25,232 --> 00:22:28,277
Wait! This lion face
wasn't on here before!

535
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:29,486
[Laios] When did...

536
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:30,404
[happy gasp]

537
00:22:30,487 --> 00:22:33,490
[Yaad] <i>The Winged Lion
is our guardian deity.</i>

538
00:22:33,574 --> 00:22:37,745
<i>He was imprisoned at the very bottom
of the dungeon by the mad mage.</i>

539
00:22:37,828 --> 00:22:41,540
<i>However, the Lion still guides us
by telling us prophecies</i>

540
00:22:41,624 --> 00:22:42,917
<i>by way of our dreams.</i>

541
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:47,421
<i>And those prophecies are why
my grandfather left for the surface.</i>

542
00:22:48,714 --> 00:22:49,798
- [Yaad] Sir Laios.
- Hm?

543
00:22:50,382 --> 00:22:52,051
There's more to the prophecy.

544
00:22:52,676 --> 00:22:57,056
"With the winged sword in their hand,
the hero will defeat the mad mage,

545
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,309
and thus rise as the country's new king."

546
00:23:00,392 --> 00:23:01,560
[stifled laugh]

547
00:23:01,644 --> 00:23:03,270
[Marcille] Wait! You can't be serious!

548
00:23:03,354 --> 00:23:05,731
[Chilchuck] He just picked up that sword
by complete accident!

549
00:23:05,814 --> 00:23:07,399
It was no accident.

550
00:23:07,483 --> 00:23:11,820
The fact the sword is in this room with us
means it was something preordained.

551
00:23:11,904 --> 00:23:13,280
[both groan]

552
00:23:14,156 --> 00:23:15,824
- Now, Sir Laios...
- Hm?

553
00:23:15,908 --> 00:23:18,577
[Yaad] Can you please
promise me something?

554
00:23:18,661 --> 00:23:20,955
Promise me you'll defeat the mad mage

555
00:23:21,038 --> 00:23:23,165
- and free everyone in this village.
- [horrified gasping]

556
00:23:23,249 --> 00:23:24,291
Huh?

557
00:23:24,375 --> 00:23:25,459
But I...

558
00:23:25,542 --> 00:23:27,211
- [groans]
- [Laios] Uh...

559
00:23:27,795 --> 00:23:28,671
[breathes softly]

560
00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:34,468
Can you please let me think about it?

561
00:23:35,302 --> 00:23:36,845
You've gotta turn him down.

562
00:23:36,929 --> 00:23:39,181
[Chilchuck] Why bother
giving them hope like that?

563
00:23:39,265 --> 00:23:41,600
'Cause I can't flat-out refuse.

564
00:23:41,684 --> 00:23:44,645
Kensuke, when did you even get like this?

565
00:23:44,728 --> 00:23:45,729
Huh, buddy?

566
00:23:46,355 --> 00:23:49,108
[Laios] Maybe it was when you got eaten
by the Dungeon Cleaners.

567
00:23:51,277 --> 00:23:53,487
I was actually so nervous during all that.

568
00:23:53,570 --> 00:23:56,365
I couldn't really taste any of the food
they made for us.

569
00:23:56,448 --> 00:23:58,659
- [groans]
- You've got some nerve, you know that?

570
00:23:58,742 --> 00:24:01,245
- Specifically requested by the party, huh?
- [pained grunt]

571
00:24:02,162 --> 00:24:04,873
It really didn't have
that much flavor to begin with.

572
00:24:04,957 --> 00:24:05,791
[both] Huh?

573
00:24:05,874 --> 00:24:09,128
[Senshi] He said they have no appetite,
so they don't need to eat anything.

574
00:24:09,211 --> 00:24:12,673
I think it's safe to assume that's why
they're not very good at cooking.

575
00:24:13,632 --> 00:24:15,384
I just realized something.

576
00:24:15,968 --> 00:24:17,428
[Senshi] <i>The people in this village...</i>

577
00:24:17,511 --> 00:24:20,139
<i>They don't really need to tend fields
and use dishware,</i>

578
00:24:20,222 --> 00:24:22,391
<i>so why bother keeping them around?</i>

579
00:24:22,474 --> 00:24:24,601
<i>What was the point
in wasting all that energy</i>

580
00:24:24,685 --> 00:24:28,397
<i>to continue maintaining them
for the last thousand years or so?</i>

581
00:24:29,023 --> 00:24:32,026
[Senshi] I reckon it's 'cause
they actually do need those things.

582
00:24:32,609 --> 00:24:34,528
It helps them keep their sanity

583
00:24:34,611 --> 00:24:36,697
and gives them a reason to live.

584
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:37,948
[both sigh]

585
00:24:38,032 --> 00:24:39,408
- [Senshi] Laios.
- Huh?

586
00:24:39,491 --> 00:24:42,453
[Senshi] When we were with the orc chief
on the third floor,

587
00:24:42,536 --> 00:24:44,872
I still remember exactly
what you told him.

588
00:24:44,955 --> 00:24:45,789
[Laios] Huh?

589
00:24:47,166 --> 00:24:48,792
What did I say again?

590
00:24:48,876 --> 00:24:49,960
[Senshi] Well...
[groans]

591
00:24:50,044 --> 00:24:52,212
...make sure you take the night
to think about it.

592
00:24:52,296 --> 00:24:53,172
[Laios sighs]

593
00:24:54,715 --> 00:24:56,467
Do you mind if I sleep in here too?

594
00:24:56,550 --> 00:24:58,594
Go sleep in the room they gave you.

595
00:24:58,677 --> 00:25:00,304
But I don't wanna be alone in there!

596
00:25:00,387 --> 00:25:02,348
[Marcille] And Izutsumi is being weird.

597
00:25:02,431 --> 00:25:03,599
Come on, scoot over.

598
00:25:03,682 --> 00:25:05,309
[Chilchuck] Just sleep on the floor!

599
00:25:05,392 --> 00:25:07,811
[Laios] <i>His hands were so cold.</i>

600
00:25:16,111 --> 00:25:18,113
[closing theme music playing]
