DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
No way.
Falin...
C-Could she really be resurrected from that condition?
It's not unprecedented, but...
H-Hey, Laios.
We don't know that yet.
I'll take her to the resurrection office.
Are you planning to take the entire mass?
There are probably Warg bones in there as well.
I can't distinguish them, so...
I'll help.
Wait!
The bond between her soul and flesh is very fragile right now.
Moving her remains is risky.
The greater the damage to one's flesh, the more likely their soul is to depart.
The main reason some resurrections fail
is the soul's departure or the incomplete restoration of the body.
So, what do we do?
Bring a revivifier and resurrect her right here.
But it requires twice the calories of the damaged parts to restore her.
They'll need to bring a substantial amount of fresh blood and flesh along.
-They'll rot on their way here... -No.
What?
Yes.
We have an abundance of fresh blood and flesh right here.
W-Wait a minute!
Are you going to resurrect her?
Using dragon flesh?
But resurrection magic isn't your specialty, is it?
I've been silent about it because I didn't want to alarm you.
But I specialize in the study of ancient magic that's forbidden now.
I think using that is the only way we can bring her back.
It's not honest magic, but still.
-What? -Black magic?
Don't. No good will come of it.
There is no good or evil in magic.
What do you say, Laios?
Do it, Marcille.
Bring Falin back to life.
Leave it to me.
I'll try my best.
Are you all out of your minds?
You're seriously going to use dragon flesh?
Usually, they use goats or pigs.
It's kinda late to start having qualms about it.
Marcille.
Her body should be as close to its original state as possible,
so I'll start by reconstructing her bone structure.
I see.
I have some knowledge of a dog's skeletal framework.
I'll work on putting together a Warg's frame.
That's not necessary, is it?
It could help avoid oversights or errors!
Humans typically have around 200 bones.
So, that means there are roughly 840 bones here.
Huh? That many?
Based on the skulls, there were two Wargs.
A dog's body has around 320 bones.
It should be easier if we begin with the simpler bones.
The more rounded one is a human rib cage.
Next, the vertebrae that connect with the ribs.
This is easy as well since the curvature of the spine is so distinct.
The tricky part is the smaller bones of the arms and legs.
I can't distinguish them at all.
Let's start sorting them out, beginning with the prominent ones.
The largest bone here is the ankle bone.
Arrange the other large bones in a way that fits,
and we have the instep of a foot.
Lastly, the bones of the hand.
Let's start by arranging the fingers.
I got it!
Like this, right?
Close!
The longest metacarpal isn't in the middle finger
but in the index finger.
Finally, we need to find the carpal bones that connect the fingers to her arm.
Give me a hint!
You better not be enjoying this!
There.
It's done!
THE BONE STRUCTURES OF FALIN AND WARGS
I don't know how to put it, but...
they're such beautiful skeletal frameworks.
They're really nice skeletons now.
It seems they had good calcium.
This won't revive the Wargs as well, will it?
The only souls confined to the dungeon are those of humans.
Otherwise, this place would be crowded with the souls of all sorts of creatures.
Well then, I'll start.
O Pilitsham.
O Esdoms. O Villaru.
Casuszameo Rotokt Artumcuks.
O Kunquikeo. Eoktum Kome.
Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo. Aoewauk Aentujon.
Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo.
Aoewauk Aentujon.
Tumao Elm Finktow Kemesfo.
Aoewauk Aentujon...
Marcille!
She's unconscious.
What happened?
Did it work?
Falin!
Her air passage is blocked with blood.
Try to stay calm and spit it out.
You're safe now.
Falin.
Laios...
Thank goodness.
Cold...
Right, my armor!
Sorry! I'll get you something to wear!
Falin, are you okay?
Are you unhurt?
That's good.
Marcille.
Marcille!
What happened to Falin?
She's come back to life.
She still seems a bit disoriented, though.
Falin!
Thank goodness!
I'm so relieved!
Marcille...
Chil...
How's she doing?
She still seems to be a little confused.
Right. Let me introduce him.
This is Senshi.
He helped us a lot on our journey.
Hello, Falin.
It's nice to meet you.
Sen...
Let's start preparing our meal!
Thank goodness!
I'm so relieved!
M-Marcille.
I can wash myself, you know.
I had to make sure your skin was restored properly.
It tickles!
You have a bruise here!
T-That's from when I tripped
and bumped my chin on the edge of the steps as a kid.
Oh.
Marcille, you look paler than me.
I'm just running low on magic.
I'll be fine if I have something to eat and rest a little...
What are you doing?
I just wanted to share some of my magic with you.
Oh, please.
You don't have enough magic right now to share.
But I do.
I'm feeling surprisingly great.
There's this power welling up inside me.
But it's a bit like recovering from an illness,
so hold off on using magic until you're back on your feet, okay?
I died, didn't I?
I can't remember how it happened.
What exactly happened?
Everyone is exhausted and scarred.
And why is the Red Dragon here?
Are Namari and Shuro safe?
If everyone had to push themselves because of me, then...
That's not...
And what's up with that magic circle?
It didn't look like anything good.
If I forced you to use something like that...
It's fine!
Sure, getting here was challenging, and I had some rough times.
But now, they're all just stories to laugh about
because everything worked out!
So, don't worry about it.
None of us has any regrets at all.
We can erase that magic circle altogether, and it will be fine.
For now...
our main concern is the journey back.
What should we do about your clothes?
And I have to wash and dry mine.
Honestly, if it weren't for those frogs...
Frogs?
What's the plan now?
Head back to the surface.
We can't use return magic or the Orcs' secret passage anymore.
We'll have to take the main road back to the castle.
That's not what I meant.
Even though you've rescued your sister, you're still penniless.
I do have some savings in the bank.
But you don't have a token, right?
And to get it reissued, it'll take a month.
That's the predicament.
Anyway, Marcille, that girl!
Did you know, Laios?
That she could use black magic?
She never shared many details,
but she mentioned wanting to explore the dungeon for her studies.
I thought it was odd.
Why would an elf who doesn't seem to be desperate venture into the dungeon?
She's not one of those dark elves, is she?
I hope this won't lead to any trouble.
Who are you calling a dark elf?
I-I mean, if it was harmless, it wouldn't be forbidden, right?
Harmless?
Even recovery magic can be used for torture.
Just like a blade, it depends on how you use it.
I study forbidden arts to benefit people.
I have nothing to feel guilty about.
But concerning the method of resurrection I used,
it's best for all of us to forget about it.
So you do feel guilty about it!
Oh, well. Never mind.
It's all in the past now.
By the way...
Where's Senshi?
Preparing the dragon meat, I imagine.
I just passed Mr. Senshi carrying a pot and some firewood.
What did I tell you?
He's getting ready to cook.
Cook...
Near the dragon?
-This is bad! -This is bad!
What's wrong?
When we opened up the dragon, we opened its fuel bag, too.
If he starts a fire there now...
Senshi!
Stop!
Senshi!
W-We're alive.
Is this defense magic?
Falin, did you do this?
It seems so.
In that split second?
Without chanting?
I don't know.
I just felt I had to protect everyone and...
That's amazing.
Kind of like an adrenaline rush, huh?
If only we had that power during the fight with the Red Dragon.
A-Anyway, you've just been revived,
so hold off on using any more magic, okay?
That took me by surprise.
I told you dragons breathe fire with their self-made fuel, right?
Your fire ignited that fuel.
It won't go out.
The fat in its body is burning.
It'll eventually go out.
Until then, I won't be able to get its meat.
What a pickle.
Maybe I could use that for cooking.
Combine flour, yeast, salt, and water, and knead well.
Let it rest for a while and...
In the meantime, go take a bath.
Stretch and shape the dough,
then add toppings to it.
Sprinkle flour on the dragon's skin,
then, put them inside the dragon.
Cut off the tip of the tail.
What a waste!
Peel the skin and use it to make a soup.
Cut the meat into blocks and sear on the hot dragon scales until golden.
Then, marinate in sauce.
It's done!
DRAGON TAIL SOUP
ONION PIZZA, ROAST RED DRAGON
Looks so good!
Can we eat it?
-Of course, not! -Of course, not!
It's delicious!
It feels like the first meal I had in a long time.
Good!
It's your turn to eat your fill of it.
Oh, well.
She seems to be enjoying it, so.
It's really chewy, but the taste is oddly familiar.
What is this taste?
It's not quite like beef or pork, though.
And this flavor reminds me...
a little of Living Armor, don't you think?
Does it?
It doesn't have that rusty smell, though.
And the Kelpie and frog meat were more tender.
If anything, it's a bit like the Basilisk.
What do you think, Laios?
I don't know what you're all on about.
This vibrant red!
This firmness!
This rich taste!
Each characteristic is like no other!
Why compare the taste of dragon with other creatures in the first place?
This is the taste of a dragon!
Um, Falin.
You might have already figured this out, but...
We couldn't afford to buy food, so we made it this far by eating monsters.
That's amazing.
That's amazing!
What monsters did you eat?
H-How did you prepare them?
Seems like we didn't have to worry.
This is exactly what I was afraid of!
First, we had a Huge Scorpion and a Slime.
We even tried a Walking Mushroom.
A Walking Mushroom?
We even harvested vegetables from Golems.
What about a Fish-man?
We didn't try that.
But we did eat Living Armor.
What?! What part did you eat?
Um, it's actually a colony of mollusks wearing a shell and...
Wouldn't it be simpler to just show her the real thing?
What's this?
Why didn't you tell us about it?!
Sorry.
It's cute. Is it a pulmonata?
It went back inside.
It moves on its own.
Seriously?
My bad.
I planned to keep it temporarily until I found another weapon at first.
But I kept it because of its useful reactions to other monsters.
So that's how you showed really sharp instincts now and then!
We should've gotten Namari to examine it.
In that situation, I agree you had no choice but to use the sword.
But it shouldn't have been a solo decision.
The greatest damage is the loss of trust from your teammates.
It was careless of me.
It won't happen again.
So, what will you do with it?
Until I find another weapon, I'd like to keep using it.
I could dunk it in water and drown the creature.
I'd have to disassemble the sword to remove it,
so it'll probably rot inside, though.
That's kinda unpleasant.
I suppose we can wait and see for a while.
You're the one who said monsters are dangerous.
It's not like I forgot about that.
But I thought I had neutralized it
and that I could use it to my advantage.
But it didn't pan out.
I guess it's impossible to use a monster while keeping it alive.
What does it taste like?
Wanna try?
Oh, yeah!
There are a lot of doors, but only two of them lead outside.
No need to worry about surprise attacks, then.
This house seems quite comfortable.
The fact it has seven toilets raises questions, though.
All right. Let's get some sleep here.
Hurray!
It's been so long since I last slept on a bed!
We'll still have to use our sleeping bags as blankets, though.
Sorry for intruding on your home without asking.
We'll leave as soon as we rest a little.
What's the matter?
I think she's a resident.
She says she'll let us stay.
I see.
That's great.
We're short on sleeping bags, so we'll have to share on the way back.
We haven't slept in the same bed since our school days!
I wonder if we'll both fit.
I've gotten much bigger since then.
You cheeky little!
To me, you'll always be my little girl!
I'm really glad I got to see you again.
Me, too.
I'll go say goodnight to my brother before bed.
Laios.
Falin.
This scar...
You did something reckless, didn't you?
Why did you...
Just to be clear, you're the one who did something reckless first.
So it's on you that things turned out like this!
What?
Don't ever do something like that again!
I can't even recall what I did.
I won't do it again.
Goodnight, Laios.
Goodnight, Falin.
