Apologies for the short chapter, School is just ugh.

Kabru seemed intrigued watching Senshi describe slime organs, though he really didn't think they're similar to a human’s at all.
The Touden father made a mental note to thank Seshi for helping his son rescue Falin.

“You don't know how happy I am to have found someone else who's as into monster food as I am.”
“I've been studying the monsters here and how to cook em up for 10 years now,” said the dwarf.

The number caused many in the room to raise an eyebrow.

‘So he was with those dwarfs,’ Thistle recalled.

“Ten years?” Laios seemed surprised while Chilchuck asked Marcile. “Has this dungeon been around for that long?” as Marcile only shrugged.

“I'll get this ready for a bit,” said Seshi before he started cutting up the ingredients.

“I still can't believe he uses an ███████ ██████ as a pan,” complained Namari.
“It's probably made of something valuable,” Mithrun blurted.

“That's what I said,” Namari sounded annoyed.

“I didn't hear you,” responded the elf, although the dwarf seemed not to appreciate the honesty.

After the food was fully cooked, making a hissing sound as Seshi took off the lid. “HUGE SCORPION AND WALKING MUSHROOM HOT POT”

“It’s ready,” Seshi said after the steam cleared.
“So huge scorpions turn red when boiled,” said Chilchuck.

The Half-Foot sniffed the food, “This shouldn't smell as good as it does”. Meanwhile Marcile looked disturbed seeing them enjoy the meal, she murmured as if trying to resist temptation.

‘Senshi seems useful,’ thought Kabru.

“Come on Marcile, you should eat with them,” smiled Falin.
“I- I… This already happened!” Defended the elf. Laios’s stomach on the other hand grumbled as he was reminded that they missed a meal.

“Is that all you can think abo-” Izutsumi was interrupted by the rumbling of her own stomach.

He looked at Senshi, his eyes asking the dwarf for ideas. “We have some reserves but it definitely isn't enough for all of ya here,” replied Seshi. Although everyone had a feeling that that would be the least of their worries.

The men continued to eat and speak about the food, Senshi saying ‘I know!’ too many times, it was like the whole world was begging Marcile to eat it.

‘grumble~’

She whimpers before speaking, “ALL RIGHT, LET ME TRY IT!”

It cuts to her using chopsticks to pick up some pinkish noodles. “What is this?” She asked with curiosity.

“Dried slime innards,” replied Senshi, causing Marcile to wince.

“Ugh…”

The majority of the audience made a similar sound to her's.
“Have you ever had a normal meal after this?” Asked Toshiro. “Well except for us meeting you the last time, I don't think so.” Said Laios.
