Listen up, Clay.

When you head into a dungeon all on your own, a single mistake can spell your death.

When you head into a dungeon all on your own, a single mistake can cost you your life.

Never let your guard down.

Right!

As an example...

For example...

Relaxing long enough to blink could have cost your everything just now.

Losing focus for even a split second could spell your end.

Relaxing...

A split second...

Do you understand?

Yes!

Don't rely on your eyes. You've got to feel their presence.

In many a dungeon, by the time you can see them, it's too late.

In many a dungeon, by the time you can see them, it's already too late.

Right...!

There are also many monsters in dungeons with scales tougher than steel.

You'll also encounter many monsters in dungeons with scales stronger than steel.

This much should be easy to manage.

They will chew straight through your gear.

Right!

If you want to dodge traps in a dungeon, you should be able to make it this far in a single leap.

Right!

We thieves don't have a warrior's strength, and can't use magic like a wizard. And yet...!

We thieves have neither a warrior's strength nor a mage's magic.

Monsters don't show any mercy!

However...

You've got to dodge till you taken them down.

Monsters will offer no quarter!

The ability to dodge is paramount.

Keep on attacking until you win.

Don't break concentration, and keep on moving.

Don't break concentration, and keep moving.

Right...!

You need to be able to fight for ten hours straight at minimum. Ideally over twenty.

You need to be able to fight for ten hours straight, bare minimum. Ideally over twenty.

R-right...!

R-Right...!

My father was abnormally strong. And yet...

My father was remarkably skilled. That said...

That's the way! Just twelve more hours!

R-right...

R-Right...

I'm pretty sure he was an awful teacher.

I don't think his skills extended to teaching.

That father of mine...

Three years have passed now since he vanished in the dungeon.

vanished inside a dungeon, some three years ago.

According to the thieves' guild I belong to,

the deepest the adventurers' guild has officially reached in this dungeon of Antomurg is the seventh floor down.

no one from the adventurers' guild is on record as exploring beyond the seventh floor of Antomurg.

In other words, even the highest grade adventurers who made it back alive didn't clear the seventh floor.

In other words, even the most skilled adventurers who returned alive didn't clear the seventh floor.

Just now, I took down the eight floor's floor guardian solo.

I just took down the eighth floor's Floor Guardian solo.

And I'm preparing to challenge the ninth floor...

Now I'm preparing to take on the ninth floor...

No getting tired!

No slacking!

R-right...!

R-Right...!

Climb up here in ten seconds!

Right...!

If someone catches you from behind, you're as good as dead!

You're dead if anyone sneaks up behind you!

Right...!

Thanks to what my father taught me.

...all thanks to my father's lessons.

I've continued training diligently in the three years my father has been gone.

And yet, I still don't feel like I've caught up to him.

And yet, I still don't feel like I measure up to him.

Just how far down did my father go?

Dungeons follow their own unique set of rules.

For underground dungeons, the monsters known as floor guardians that protect the stairs down

For subterranean dungeons, the Floor Guardians who guard the stairs

are roughly equal in strength to the monsters wandering the following floor.

However, that only applies when they're on their own.

There they are...

They're here.

After passing the fifth floor, the monsters began forming parties and working together.

After passing the fifth floor, the monsters began forming parties and exhibiting teamwork.

They possess intelligence.

Goblins. Buff goblins...?

Goblins. Ripped goblins?

I've never seen goblins with muscles like that before.

Okay, so we've got some buff goblins. And behind them...

Okay, so we'll call those ripped goblins. And behind them...

That one's skinny, so I'll call it a lanky goblin.

I'll start with the lanky one in the rear...

I'll start with the lanky one in the rear.

You can form parties, sure, but you can also tear them apart.

They can form parties, sure, but you can also tear them apart.

Take them out from the rear!

All according to theory.

It's textbook for a reason.

Nice! The paralysis is working.

Nice! The paralysis is kicking in.

Once you get this deep, pretty much all of them start dropping gems. Nice!

Once you get this deep, even these ones drop gems. Nice!

In this dungeon, monsters can turn into gems when they die.

That trend grows stronger the deeper you go,

The deeper you go, the better the quality.

so a lot more adventurers aim for those than packed treasure chests.

A lot of adventurers prioritize acquiring gems over searching for treasure chests.

If they were placed there as a party...

Those ones were prepared to intercept a party—

There's a strong one on the other side of that door.

There's a powerful foe on the other side of that door.

I can't sense anything else in the area.

I can't sense anyone else in the area.

My healing items aren't running low, and I've got stamina to spare.

I'm not running low on healing items, and I've got stamina to spare.

Would it be best to tackle it now, rather than putting it off for later and risking additional hindrances then?

It might be better to face it now, instead of later when I might not be as well prepared.

Doesn't look like paralysis will work on this one...

Doesn't look like paralysis will work on this one.

I see... It's not just big and powerful. It's surprisingly fast, too.

I see... It's not just big and powerful, but surprisingly fast as well.

How strong. What was the deal with those goblins before, then...?

He's a tough one. Then what was the deal with those goblins before?

It's tough...!

So tough!

It probably has plenty of stamina too, so this may take a while. I'm glad it's on its own.

I'll start with the legs...

I'll start with the legs.

Or at least, I'd like to!

So tough!

Damn, that's tough!

I hit that hard enough to open up a hole in steel armor, and yet...

A hit that solid should be enough to punch a hole through steel armor.

So the legs won't work? Then I'll start with its dominant arm.

So the legs are a no go? Then I'll aim for its dominant arm.

I see, so it's even faster barehanded.

I see. So it's even faster barehanded.

So it's a match for me in terms of strength, huh...?

So it's a match for me even without that axe?

The dungeon wall collapsed? Such a thing can happen...?

The dungeon wall collapsed? That can happen?

Gah, seriously?!

Woah, seriously?!

I've never heard of a wall collapsing before. No way...

Ain't never heard of a wall collapsing before. I can't believe it.

That monster's speaking...!

That monster just spoke...

Ah, hold on...! Let's call it quits.

Ah, hold on! Let's call it quits.

This is no time for that. Time out?

Time out...?

Do you just think this is just a case of a crumbled wall? Because it's not.

Do you think this is just like any other crumbled wall? Because it's not.

This right here is a serious issue.

We got a real problem on our hands.

The administrator's gonna be here soon!

The administrator is gonna be here soon!

It's true that his bloodlust is gone...

All that aggression from earlier is gone...

Is he seriously asking me to stop...?

Does he seriously not want to fight anymore?

Take a look at that room there.

Have a look at that room there.

Still, he sure is an elequent talker...

It's just like talking to a person...

What does it look like to you?

An inn room...? In a dungeon?

It looks like a room in someone's house. In a dungeon?

Close! It's a private room!

So close! It's a bedroom!

A private room? But whose...?

A bedroom? But whose...?

What is that...? I sense an abnormally massive power there...

What is that? There's something unusually powerful beyond that door.

Something's coming...!

It's here!

It really did collapse!

Dungeon People.

It really did collapse!

My apologies. Please hold on a moment.

My apologies. Please hold on for a moment.

R-right...

S-Sure...

Sorry for the trouble.

I'll handle the rest, so you can return to your post.

I'll handle the rest, so you can head back to your post.

You were talking with this person here, correct?

You were speaking with this person here, weren't you?

Moo...

He's trying to play it off by acting all cow-like!

His response was cow-like!

I mean, it didn't seem like you were fighting at all.

I mean, it didn't look to me like you two were fighting.

And an explorer would never let their guard down with

And no adventurer would ever drop their guard near a monster just because a wall collapsed.

a monster right in front of them just because a wall collapsed.

I'm so sorry...

I mean, this girl's such a quick one that I figured it'd be big trouble if she ran off into that room.

I mean, this girl's a quick one, so I figured it'd be big trouble if she ran off into that room.

It's fine.

The wall is my fault.

I take responsibility for the wall.

You're normally so careful after all, right?

You're normally a lot more careful than that, right?

Of course!

Naturally!

That was a long pause.

That was quite the pause.

Sorry for the wait!

She just looks like an ordinary girl...

She just looks like a normal girl...

That intensity I felt... it came from her?!

That intense power I felt. It came from her?!

I'd like to explain in detail, so could you accompany me?

I'd like to explain in detail, so would you mind accompanying me?

O-okay.

O-Okay.

This way, please.

Don't let your guard down. Think this through...

Is there a chance this girl is another of this dungeon's monsters, trying to lure me into a trap...?

Is there a chance this girl is one of the dungeon's monsters, trying to lure me into a trap?

There aren't any monsters deployed in the residential quarters, so you don't need to be all on edge.

There aren't any monsters in the residential quarters, so you don't need to be all on edge.

It's a safe zone!

Safe...?

Really?

This isn't part of the dungeon...?

This isn't part of the dungeon?

Well, dungeon functions aren't allocated to the residential quarters, so in that meaning, they're different.

The dungeon's features aren't available in the residential zone, so I suppose they're different.

Residential quarters...? So she lives in this dungeon? But why?

Residential area? So she lives in this dungeon? But why?

After you.

Well then, allow me to introduce myself once more.

Okay, let's dive straight in.

My name is Beilleheila Langdass, and I manage this dungeon.

You're Ms. Clay, correct?

And you're Ms. Clay, correct?

How do you know my name?

How'd you know my name?

Because I'm the administrator. I can sense skilled explorers.

It's an administrator thing. I can sense skilled adventurers.

Sense...? But how...?

Sense? But how?

Well, before getting into the details about the residential quarters and management and all that,

Before I start explaining the residential quarters and management and all that,

I'd like to get to the main topic at hand.

let me get to what I really want to talk about.

The main topic?

What's this?

Ms. Clay, will you work here with me?

Work...?

Work?

Yes, here in this dungeon.

Right. In this dungeon.

I've been wanting more help for a while now,

but being in a dungeon means a lot of encounters with monsters.

but being in a dungeon means a lot of one on one interactions with monsters.

And I just couldn't find anyone the monsters didn't look down upon...

And I just couldn't find anyone that the monsters wouldn't walk all over.

That sounds like a tough one.

That does sound like a high bar.

If those were your conditions, why not turn to the explorer's guild?

If that's what you were looking for, why not try the adventurers' guild?

It wouldn't be possible for anybody who gets stuck at floor seven!

I'm afraid anyone who can't get past floor seven just isn't going to cut it!

So harsh!

Harsh!

So that's what brought you to me, huh?

So that's where I fit in?

Yes! You made it to the eighth floor all on your own.

Yes! You cleared the eighth floor all on your own.

You're plenty skilled enough to qualify.

I'd say you're plenty skilled.

What do you say?

So what do you say?

If this place behind the wall is next door to a floor that deep, then it's undoubtedly a part of the dungeon.

The dungeon is on the other side of the wall.

Beilleheila Langdass, was it...?

And this place is deep underground.

This place is definitely part of the dungeon.

Beilleheila Langdass, was it?

This girl is the dungeon's administrator...

If you're the administrator, does that mean that you're the boss of this dungeon?

If you're the administrator, doesn't that make you the dungeon boss?

That's right. There are currently ten floors, and those who reach the end come face me.

That's right. This dungeon currently has ten floors.

Then will you face me?

and those who reach the end by conventional means have to face me.

A practical test won't be necessary...!

Then...

I'm the one asking for it. If I win, let me leave. If I lose, I'll work here.

Will you face me?

Does that sound acceptable?

A practical exam won't be necessary!

I don't especially mind... But I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back.

But I'm asking for one. If I win, you let me leave. If I lose, I'll work here.

That's fine.

How's that?

Holding back...?

I don't particularly mind, but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back.

My father disappeared into the dungeon... I'm weaker than him, and I made it to the ninth floor.

Fine with me.

I believe he made it to the tenth basement floor.

Holding back?

My father disappeared into the dungeon...

I'm not as strong as him and yet I made it to the ninth floor,

so he must have made it to the tenth floor.

If this girl was waiting for him there, then...

That would mean my father lost to her.

It would mean my father lost to her.

It's possible that she would tell me if I asked.

But... I'm sure I wouldn't be satisfied if she just told me, "That's right."

But I'm sure just hearing "That's right," would be enough for me.

Understood.

Please give me your hand.

Welcome to the end of the tenth basement floor, the final room!

Welcome to the end of the tenth floor, the final room!

There aren't any walls...

This is a closed space, so you normally can't enter it without going through specific steps.

This is a closed space. You normally can't enter it without following a specific protocol.

Normally I ask two demons to accompany me, but you don't mind if we skip that for today, right?
You're taking on a handicap...?
No. This way I can fight unencumbered.
That's fine, then.
It's no surprise that my father would die in a dungeon.
He kept on challenging them, so it's only natural that one would eventually do him in.
My father accepted that.
And so, I just want to know...
Are you ready?
Yes, whenever.
Just how far did my father make it...?
Can I catch up to him...?
Is this girl...?
She threw it?!
Worthy of having taken him down?!
She can parry all that with her staff...?!
I should distance myself...
No, wait, I should keep close.
If I back off, I'd fall in range of magic, and that'd be even worse.
I've got to keep going and take her down...!
You're even better than I expected.
I'm shocked.
I really am.
Rain down, rolling clouds!
A spell! This is bad!
Twinkling light, crucify with a thousand thunderbolts...
Come forth!
No way...
Even my father couldn't handle this...
Good morning!
Morning...? Where am I?
This is my room.
Ah, I fixed the wall, and I shifted the floor coordinates so it was no longer right up against the dungeon.
We're now on the eleventh basement floor.
I-I see.
The eleventh floor...?
So, you're going to work here now, right?
I suppose... I did promise that.
Managing a dungeon, huh...?
I never expected to end up doing any job besides exploring dungeons.
So does managing a dungeon mean serving as its boss?
That's not it.
Managing a dungeon... Hm, it's like handling operations?
Handling operations...?
Right!
Operations... A dungeon's... operations...?
Isn't a dungeon just a dungeon?
Er...
Well, there are all sorts of different ones out there, but I manage our dungeon.
Our dungeon...
I'll provide specifics later for you to remember,
but it involves stuff like restocking low-level slimes and undead,
repairing traps,
and interviewing monsters to hire.
It's a very busy job.
Hiring monsters...?
We hire monsters from the demon world.
Unlike a living dungeon, we don't get monsters growing here, after all.
Monsters growing...? I don't get it.
Well, I at least get that there's a lot of work to do.
Still, I'm registered to the thieves' guild.
I can't just start working here without any notice.
I'll have to head back and...
Ah, if you're worried about the thieves' guild, I can handle that here.
Hmm?
The previous administrator started up the thieves' guild, so I have connections.
I see... If you manage a dungeon, then the thieves' guild is no big deal.
Understood.
I now see that this is a matter beyond my powers of understanding.
In other words, I'm going to start working here, huh?
It would be a huge help if you could do so!
That way, I won't have to surpress your memories to conceal information, either!
What, with a curse...?!
Okay, now that that's decided, we'll have to prepare a room for you, Ms. Clay!
A room?
The hall would be fine, though.
Visibility is good, and it would make it easy to respond if anything happened...
Ah, no, that would bother me!
Allow me to go ahead and hand you your contract.
Right...
F-five gold coins a day?!
I've got plenty of money.
What are you, a noble?!
Ten years after I first started heading into dungeons,
that all came to a close, and I ended up working in one.
The job gained beyond the wall pays an enormous sum,
but shatters my shallow confidence and lacking knowledge.
Rocks walk all about, and a girl laughs amidst the chaos.
All of this was plotted out...
Er, Ms. Clay...
That's too heavy of a tone. Can't you have more fun with it?
Fun, you say...?
Next time on Dungeon People, Episode 2,
"Starting Work in the Dungeon."
So heavy...

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 02 (480p) [70DEC374]

Far removed from the capital sat a land where people didn't live, the Antora region.
A traveler by the name of Murag happened to stumble upon the dungeon when passing through.
Combining the name of the discoverer and the region, it was named the dungeon of Antomurg.
News spread, and adventurers came to explore the dungeon.
Their number grew, and inns, shops, and an adventurers' guild branch were constructed.
As the settlement gained more residents, it became a town.
The town took the name Antomurg as well, following after the dungeon.
Thanks to the exploration undertaken by the adventurers,
more and more information was gathered on the dungeon.
Even so, the floors past the fifth are difficult,
and the current official record stands at the seventh basement floor.
Based on how the strength of the monsters grows beyond the fifth floor,
people started to question if the tenth floor was the final one.
I belonged to the thieves' guild rather than being an adventurer, and I made it to the ninth floor.
It was there that I met a girl calling herself the dungeon's administrator.
All sorts of stuff happened, and in the end... I ended up working in the dungeon.
For the time being, please use this room.
It was built as a guest room, but we haven't had any use for it.
Why did you make it...?
There's a window here.
The glass shines to look like the sky, changing based on the time of day.
Outside that is just wall.
I see.
By the way, the rooms use lights, huh?
Even though the ceilings are bright out in the hall.
That's true. Well, it's better for humans for it to be dark when it's time to sleep...
The dungeon was originally dark too.
But I got a lot of complaints from monsters without dark vision, so I brightened it up.
Complaints from monsters...?
If we made night vision a requirement for employment, we would get far too few applications.
I see...
Well then, let me give you a brief tour of the residential quarters!
You don't mind? Aren't you busy?
Ah, right...
My most important task for today is already all wrapped up, so it's fine.
Important task...?
Recruiting you, Ms. Clay!
Who, me...?
Do you actually have a lot of time on your hands?
Huh...?!
Er... Well, there are only low-level adventurers in the dungeon right now.
The earlier floors are managed on site, so there's no need for me to watch over them.
My true goal was to recruit you,
but you had made it in deep enough that you were already a target for observation anyway.
I see...
And now that target's right in front of you, huh?
That's right.
Anyway, let me show you around!
Sure, sounds good.
This is the control room.
I do most of my administrative work here.
Now that you're here, maybe I should clean it up a bit.
You should do way, way more than just a bit!
Here we have the reception room.
Right, from before.
That's my personal room.
Yeah, I've seen it.
Here are the bathrooms for guests.
Does anyone use them?
I do occasionally.
This is the dining hall and kitchen.
It's surprisingly small for a dining hall.
That's true.
I made it too large at first...
So I went and made the inner part into a storehouse instead!
What a huge storehouse!
It has a cooling function too.
We have dragon tail meat and other monster-sourced ingredients, and you can use them freely.
Monster-sourced ingredients...? From ones in the dungeon...?
Oh, they consented to this in their contracts, so it's no issue.
Eating the dead means less waste, so maybe it's better this way...?
These are our storage rooms.
This first one is for magical catalysts and tools.
The second one contains ores and the like. And then...
You don't use the third one?
The third storage room is for leaving things.
Isn't that naturally what storage rooms are for?
What's this...?
For things that you don't need now but may need later, and it could be an issue if you threw them out.
That's the sort of stuff stored here.
I see. So it's a garbage dump.
It's not garbage!
This is a really nicely made wood golem arm, it just has too many joints...
But there may be some use for it...!
That's trash.
And then...
Huh? Um...
I get the point. Let's keep moving.
Huh? But I have other things to...
Moving on!
Right...
This is the other place I need to show you in the residential quarters.
The crystal room.
Crystal room...?
That certainly is a crystal. But what is this room for?
It's a room for using fixed magic alongside the crystal.
Let's see...
To start, please pick whatever rock you'd like from those boxes and bring it over.
We'll go ahead and give it a try.
Rocks...?
No, these are gems...!
Yes, that's right!
So casual about it...
There are so many gems here.
Ah, that's what those were...?
You recognize them, don't you?
So you're saying you hand these out to the monsters?
Not exactly.
Those stones are magic catalysts.
Catalysts?
I mentioned before that we employ monsters, right?
Yes, and...?
Ms. Clay, how many monsters have you killed up until now?
I see... Exploring a dungeon means putting your life on the line.
Letting your guard down for even a moment can get you killed by a monster.
But if I'm not dying, that means I've been killing monsters... They're putting their lives on the line too.
It's completely obvious, but I forgot that fact.
Thinking on it...
A large number of monsters are needed just to take me on, for example.
It would be impossible to employ each and every one of them and then replenish them each time.
So...
Revival, is it?
Close! It's not quite revival...
We use the crystal's magic to copy your body and seal your original in a stone.
Then the stone with your consciousness is placed into the copy.
Essentially, we create temporary bodies for use in this dungeon.
If your copy dies the seal is broken and you return to your original body.
There's an unsealing circle in the monsters' quarters, so you're transferred there.
The stones have served their purpose, so they're left there.
It's all disposable.
You treat gems like pebbles...?
In other words, as long as you're in the dungeon, your life is secure?
That's correct. Did you find a stone that you like?
That goes for me too, huh?
Please think of this as part of the job too.
It's true that you're skilled, Ms. Clay, but you'll need to interact with monsters from the tenth floor in the future.
It would be too late to try to act after something happened.
The tenth floor...
That's what it was like on the ninth floor.
It's true that the tenth floor would be difficult for me as I am now.
I need to get stronger.
Many of those we hire for the deeper floors come onboard to train.
I don't believe you'll have any issue finding training partners.
You'll get strong.
I'm looking forward to it.
Now then, please enter this circle.
Like this?
Yes.
Now close your eyes.
Activate.
Project.
Analyze.
Replicate.
Hmm? Was there some sort of issue?
No...
Seal.
Link.
Release.
Is it over...?
Yes. Good work.
And, um... Sorry.
No, me too.
I can remember up until I noticed it shining down at my feet.
But at some point, I found you supporting...
M-M-Ms. Clay...!
Er, here, have some clothes...!
Monsters are generally naked, so I forgot the fact that it can't replicate clothing.
I'm so sorry...!
It's fine. You'll take more care in the future, right?
Y-y-yes...!
A transport circle? How convenient.
Taking the stairs up to the first floor would be tiring, and would take forever too.
Yeah, that's fine there.
Take three of these to number two.
Mr. Rangard!
Ah, little lady, what a rare sight...
Wait, who's she?
Ms. Clay, an explorer.
She'll be working with us starting today, so I thought I should introduce you.
I'm Clay. Nice to meet you.
The name's Rangard. I'm more or less in charge of floors one through four.
I've seen you somewhere before.
You're that girl with no friends who never forms a party and is always on her own, right?
Hmm? That was really rude, wasn't it?
That's not a fair assessment.
A dungeon isn't a place you head into with friends to mess around, and I can best display my skills solo.
That's all there is to it.
Though it's true that I have no friends.
So it was true...?
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
We found a treasure chest and everything, but it just had herbs...
Well, it is only the first floor.
That's true, but still...
At least we seem to be working together well, though.
Now's my chance!
What's up?
Did wind just blow past us?
Sure you weren't just imagining things?
No, I definitely felt it. It came from the front...
Seriously? So is something here?
Let's keep our guards up.
Right...
Helping out...?
Yes. Ms. Clay says she wants to do more work so that she won't get rusty.
I don't really need any help.
Don't say that...!
I mean, we have Ms. Clay here, and I figured I could use the opportunity to clean up the control room...
And she won't have anything to do in the meantime, so...
You make it sound like that mess can be cleaned up.
Ah!
At any rate, I'm counting on you!
Number three, completed.
R-right...
Numbers six, eight, and nine are open.
Understood.
I'm at number three now, and numbers six, eight, and nine need to be resupplied...
The closest would be...
I'm heading towards number nine.
Counting on you.
Number nine, completed.
Number eight, completed.
Two and four next.
Understood. I'm heading towards number two.
Counting on you.
No way...
It's impossible?
It's true that the first floor is full of nothing but careless, wimpy explorers.
And yet, there are a ton of them.
Slipping past all of them with nobody seeing you as you refill treasure chests... That's damn near impossible.
Yeah, it made for good training.
No, that's not what I'm saying...
I see.
He just can't accept it, huh?
Let's see...
Where'd she...?
Compared to humans, dwarves have poor horizontal visibility but good vertical vision.
That's how you can do this in the blink of an eye.
Of course, we're talking about a large number of people.
It's not as easy as handling an amateur like this.
And there are times where it's just not possible.
Amateur? You're hurting my feelings here.
If it's impossible, they'll see me.
That's no good, then.
Listen well.
When something unexpected enters your vision, the majority of people actively look again.
As long as I'm not seen then, it's fine.
I don't get what you're going on about...
Here I go.
Hey, you can't do it right in front of my...
Huh? She's gone...
That's how it works.
Geniuses sure can be frightening...
Hmm? What's up?
Oh yeah? Sorry.
What is it?
Apparently we ran out of supplies to refill the treasure chests on the second floor.
I misjudged it.
What will we do?
Well, we've got enough to spare for the third floor, so we'll refill from there temporarily.
Are the contents the same?
Nah, but what's wrong with a little bonus?
That said, it'll take a bit to transport them. Hmm...
What would you like me to do?
Can you bring some supplies in a hurry? Just what you can carry would be plenty.
You're a quick one, aren't you?
If you just bring the bare minimum, the runts can work the rest out in the meantime.
The stairs for staff are over this way.
The runts fall down the big well, but that'd be impossible for you!
I see. So falling is quicker than the stairs, huh?
That would be a faster way to get to the third floor. Where is it?
Are you seriously going to do it?
There are walls, so I'll be fine.
If you fall from this height, you'll die.
Even if you can be revived, well...
It's only natural to die due to a mistake made in the dungeon.
Don't waste time with pointless statements.
I'll be back soon.
I see... So that's the second basement floor.
The third floor will be up next.
Mr. Rangard sent me to pick up the supplies for the second floor.
That's them, huh?
How many boxes do you need?
Just one is plenty. There's no way you could do more.
Got it. I'll play it safe and take two.
Listen to me, already!
Hmm? Ah, the stairs.
No worries. This way is quicker.
See you later.
Sorry about that. You seriously saved me there.
Is it always like this?
No...
I usually keep a better eye on the overall picture, but I was curious about your movements today.
So I got a bit sloppy.
Sorry...
By the way, the runts wanna jump all around the well like you did. What do you think?
Not happening.
It's Clay.
Come in.
Are you training to strengthen your concentration?
I'm cleaning!
You're back sooner than I expected.
How was it?
Well, I was told that I was a dangerous influence on the work golems, so I shouldn't come back for a while.
What did you do...?
Hmm... No helping it, I suppose.
I was hoping to clean up here first...
I'll go and explain the work done here.
No, cleaning comes first.
It's not something that can be done so easily.
I'll help. What do you want me to do? What are we throwing out?
We're not throwing out any of them!
What should I destroy, then?
Why...?!
The ones that look usable can stay. The ones that don't, we'll toss.
Hesitation and excess luggage can be the end of you in the dungeon.
The knowledge of an explorer...!
Let's call it here for today.
Understood.
You're certainly in a good mood.
Oh? You can tell?
Did something happen?
I learned that you don't have any friends, Ms. Clay.
Yes, and...?
You see, I don't have any either.
R-really?
That means we can be one another's first friends!
I can't treat a work superior as a friend.
No way!
A body that has at some point decayed so that bone is exposed....
I take on a strange shape, as if fearing fate, pointing a blade at my own.
I can no longer hold back the feelings welling up inside.
Er, Ms. Clay...
That's still a bit heavy. I know, how about reading it with a smile?
With a smile?
Next time on Dungeon People, Episode 3,
"The Ice Wolf's Fangs."
E-even her smile feels heavy...

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 03 (480p) [EFC1F157]

Where should I throw this out?
Don't throw it out!
Can I throw this one out?
No, don't!
Which ones can I throw out?
Um, they all have a use...! Or they may, eventually...
If I can't throw anything out, how are we supposed to clean this place?
Er...
It's so spacious.
That's because we put everything in the third storage room...
Is that really something to cry over...?
Pardon me.
What happened?!
Is something wrong?! You can tell me anything...!
Ms. Clay and I did some cleaning.
That's right.
Listen well. There are some people who can't live without making a mess.
She's one of them.
How do you expect her to keep on living in a room with nothing in it like this...?
Um, what exactly brings you here...?
Will this do for the chair you were requesting?
Thank you. That's a big help.
Did you make this?
That's right.
Amazing.
Hmph, what are you saying?
All that takes is cutting into wood and putting it together.
Anybody can do it.
I wouldn't say that...
Mr. Rangard has worked on pretty much all of the weapons and armor produced here in the dungeon.
That's really something!
I suppose...
That's what makes you embarassed...?
See you later.
Yeah, thanks.
Thank you very much!
Please have a seat.
Thanks.
So, um...
Ms. Beilleheila Langdass.
My full name?!
We're going to be working here in this room today?
Er...
Is something the matter?
Ah, no...
Right, we just had a party enter the seventh floor.
We'll be observing them using this three-fold mirror.
Ooh.
When you pour magical power into it, a map appears.
A pinch motion zooms out, and spreading out your fingers zooms in.
How convenient.
The circle represents the explorers, and the number shows how many there are, so it's a five person party.
Five of them... Are they a strong party?
They are. I believe their name is The Ice Wolf's Fangs. Are you familiar with them?
Yeah, they tried to hit on me.
You're that skilled thief girl, aren't you?
I suppose we could let you join The Ice Wolf's Fangs.
No thanks.
That recruitment just now earned zero points, Fen.
Zero points.
Zero points.
Zero.
I see, they must be decently skilled if they can make it to the seventh floor.
Honestly, they're at the top in terms of adventurers.
They hold the record for making it the farthest.
I see...
They aren't moving.
I believe they're having a discussion.
They rarely ever explore, after all.
Isn't that what they came for?
Yes, but each time they make it to the seventh floor, they retreat after the first fight.
They seem to be fighting with all they've got.
Sounds like they're far from making it to the eighth floor.
It wouldn't be possible for them.
Still, they have a good reputation among the monsters.
They say it's really fun, being able to have an exciting fight on equal footing.
Fun... A fun fight...
It looks like she wants to take part in it!
Ms. Clay, would you like to try fighting with The Ice Wolf's Fangs?
Oh no, I couldn't possibly clash with explorers...
Of course it wouldn't work with you as you are now.
Er, hold on a moment, please.
The one in charge of prowling section H currently is...
In charge of prowling...?
Ah, it's Mr. Kraitze.
Excuse me, Mr. Kraitze. Can you hear me? It's me, the administrator.
Huh? Th-the administrator?!
Is something the matter?! Did I do something wrong?!
No, it's nothing like that.
I have a request for you.
Really? Thank goodness!
What is it?
It's like it's only natural for monsters to be talking...
You currently have three underlings with you, don't you?
Yeah, that's right.
Would you mind if we used one of them?
That'd be fine, but what did you have in mind?
The plan was to control them from here.
I can see them in the mirror... But they can't actually be in there, right?
There's a party of explorers there on the seventh floor.
Uh-huh.
Ms. Clay just started working here the other day, and she would really like to fight them.
There are the maps, too...
So she's using magic to project information onto the medium of a mirror?
Ah, I see. So what would you like me to do?
Are there three of them in order to split up and display a large amount of information at once?
If you can just hand over control, I can take care of the rest.
Still, what tremendous skill. If there were a magic item like this mirror...
Understood!
Looks like it's settled, Ms. Clay.
I'm going to place you inside a skeleton so you can fight.
What's that about a skeleton...?
The one in charge of prowling the area near where the Ice Wolf's Fangs are located is Mr. Kraitze, a spirit.
A spirit...?
He happens to have three skeletons with him, so I figured we could ask to borrow one.
My apologies, but I'm not exactly thin enough to fit inside of a skeleton...
Right, it would be rather tough to manage physically.
I've been handed control of the skeleton, so I'll temporarily swap out its operation with that of your copy.
I see.
Ah, that face says she gave up on trying to understand...
Okay, I'm handing it over!
Ah, yes, please do so.
Are you ready, Ms. Clay?
Yeah. I don't exactly get what's going on, but that should be fine.
Well then, go have some fun!
Ooh, looks like it went smoothly! I figured it would!
You're...
The name's Kraitze, and I'm in charge of prowling around this area.
I see. I'm Clay.
I was recently hired on at this dungeon. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Yeah, same here!
We're in the dungeon, and I'm speaking with a monster.
A monster's treating me like an ally...
Come on, just get used to it, already...
So, we'll be fighting with explorers, right?
What would you like me to do?
Well, you can just go ahead and do as you please.
As I please...?
You won't be able to show off your true power in that body anyway,
so it's best not to restrict you too much, right?
I'll provide some support from the rear. Does that work for you?
Yeah.
I see... It's true that this body feels different than usual.
And what's going on with this shield, exactly? Is it stuck on?
I can't remove it.
That shield's real amusing, isn't it?
Apparently anything the underlings have on them at the time of their creation acts as a part of their body.
Be careful, though, since that's not the case with the sword.
He's right! It fell!
I'm surprisingly strong...
He said it was part of my body, but it doesn't feel pain.
Maybe it's like a fingernail...?
Actually, would a body of bones feel pain to begin with...? I've got no clue...
Just thinking in terms of combat, it doesn't sound so bad, just using a sword and shield.
Still, is it okay for me to get involved?
Yeah, don't worry about it!
Those underlings don't have a will of their own to start with.
I figured this could serve as a point of reference for me.
It's not often you get to team up with someone who made it to the ninth floor.
You know about me?
You're a hot topic of discussion for us.
They say the administrator beat and then tamed an explorer who made it to the ninth floor!
I was beaten and tamed...?
Of course, you've gotta take such rumors with a grain of salt!
I've never heard of a human being tamed before, after all.
Taming... I guess you could call it that.
It was true?!
I think we should run into them soon.
This all feels pretty different, but I think I can make it work.
I'll take you up on your offer and do as I please, but do you have any requests?
Could you stop their vanguard?
How ordinary.
That's what the underlings were here for to start with. But are you okay with that, Clay?
We're going to be going up against explorers, your compatriots.
Can you kill them?
Dad, why do we avoid other people?
Because they're dangerous.
Dangerous?
They can do stuff like killing, robbing, and commiting sexual assault thanks to the dungeon.
Even if they follow guild rules officially, there's no guarantee that's how they'll act in the dungeon.
They're just enemies who can talk. Don't let your guard down.
Look, there's a woman on her own.
Seriously?
What a lucky break!
Huh?! This is a dead end, isn't it?!
Why isn't she here?!
Find her!
Damn it! This is the first time we've found a woman in a while!
Right now, I'm a monster.
And besides...
I don't let my guard down, and I don't have any allies.
That's the sort of place the dungeon is.
You've got that right!
What's up?
Their thief was scouting and just headed back. They're up ahead.
Huh?! But he didn't make a sound, did he?!
It was his presence.
Can we fight them? We can, right?!
It's in our patrol route, so it's fine... Still, you sure look like you're enjoying yourself.
Three skeletons, and one lich!
Got it.
Gaiam and I will take the skeletons.
Latta will back us up, and Ante, you launch right into support magic.
Harmein, you go for a big attack centered on the lich.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Dungeon People.
Well then, why don't we have you give the seventh floor a try for now,
and if you think you can manage further, we can move you to the eighth?
That's fine.
But the tenth floor is the bottom one, right?
The seventh floor, huh...? Is that all my strength amounts to?
How disheartening...
What are the ninth and tenth floors like, then...?
We've succeeded at splitting the two of them up.
Now then...
Behind this guy there's a thief, and then further back there's a priest and a sorceror.
The priest has already cast support magic.
The thief is positioned behind him, preparing for a surprise attack.
As for the sorceror in the rear...
Oh invisible power that permeates all things, hear my voice and gather.
Once his chant's done, he'll have the front two pull back and launch a wide-range attack, huh?
Become a ball of flame to reduce all to ash...
Right, that's what a chant should be like.
That was abnormal.
Wait... I can make out their movements clearly, even in the rear.
Skeleton eyes sure are amazing.
They say undead have the power to see life. Is this what they meant?
He's going for it soon. Should I invite it...?
He'll wait till my sword is occupied...
But I know that full well!
Huh?!
Whoa, she's so strong!
What was that?! She threw them?! Why?! How?! And what was that with the sword?!
This thing...
Spin, bundle together, and become a mighty force.
A wide-range attack is coming. What should we do?
Hmm, we should be able to withstand something on that level, but can you do something about it, Clay?
Understood. I'll give it a try.
This body possesses magical power.
The sword won't work, huh?
If I think of it as an extension of my body, the shield should do the trick.
Destroy the enemies I have indicated before you!
Magical power...?
It's a sort of spiritual force possessed by living beings.
A force...
And if living beings possess it, we should too.
Magic generally uses stuff like fire and ice, but it's all magical power at its core.
And that got me thinking.
You need the capability and training and all that to use magic.
But if I've got magical power too, then couldn't I use it...
To cut through magic?
Huuuuuuh?!
She cut through magic?! What's going on here?!
This... This is the true strength of one who made it to the ninth floor...!
Let's pull back for now.
I'll buy you time.
Latta! Keep guard!
The stairs are right over there. It shouldn't be an issue.
It's more important to help buy time.
That's true. Let's go all out.
That said, I'm mostly suited to support!
A straightforward attack like that doesn't even serve as a diversion.
Ah...!
Whoa...
Sorry, I dodged without thinking.
Ah, no, I'm the one who let my guard down.
Now's our chance! Run for it!
Yeah!
Should we chase them?
No, that won't be necessary.
They ran for the stairs, like they said, and that falls outside my jurisdiction.
Do you want to go after them?
No, I'd say I got plenty of good experience already. Thanks.
I see. Yeah, it was a learning experience for me too.
The seventh floor suits me just fine!
There's no way I could ever face Clay when she's fighting for real!
It looks like you're all done.
You were watching?
That's my job, after all.
I suppose that's true.
So, shall I bring you back?
I'm good! What about you, Clay?
I don't mind either.
Okay. Well then...
I see. That was amazing...
I'm sorry I laid you down on the floor.
I was considering going with a lap pillow...
But if I did that, I wouldn't have been able to do my administrative duty.
That's not a problem. It's fine.
So, how were the Ice Wolf's Fangs?
Well, let's see...
Their party was well balanced, and they worked together well.
I can understand how they made it to the seventh floor.
She's being so polite towards opponents she utterly crushed...
It was also a fresh experience being a monster, and it caused me to realize something.
It did?
When you carry out a plan verbally around intelligent monsters, they'll overhear it.
Ah...!
What was that sound?
It was a notice that the Ice Wolf's Fangs retreated.
They retreated?
Over a fight like that?
They didn't form a plan to tackle the floor again?
If that's how they're handling it, they'll never clear the seventh floor...
I believe they figured they should start fresh, as they couldn't beat that overwhelmingly strong skeleton.
But skeletons are just...
The one with the shield.
Shield...?
Who, me...?
How did Ms. Clay do, Mr. Kraitze?
She was amazing!
Someone that strong shouldn't be here on the seventh floor!
I'd never want to fight her, myself!
I see...
Well, whatever. Let's get back to work.
Er... Ms. Beilleheila Langdass.
U-um...!
Er, about my name...!
Ah, sorry. I couldn't quite get it out smoothly.
I hope you'll be able to put up with me until I can learn to say it properly.
No, that's not it...!
Oh, you can refer to me by just my name. I'm sorry for not realizing.
Ah, yes. No wait, that's not it either!
My name's really long, isn't it?
Is it?
It is!
So, well... I'd like a name that would be easier to say...
Like a nickname or something... That would be nice.
A nickname? I'm not so sure about using one with my employer, but well...
Beilleheila Langdass... The usual method is to go with a shortened version...
Be...
What about Beiheila?
Beihe...? Er, I'm not so sure...
My apologies. I realize I have no aptitude for this.
No. I'm the one who asked you, after all.
Asking me to come up with a nickname is too difficult of a task for me.
I would prefer if you would just tell me how you'd like me to refer to you.
That would make it easier for me to use, too.
H-how I want you to refer to me...?
If I make a friend, what would they call me?
The Beille from the start? Or maybe Heila?
I wonder...?
If it were me...
In that case, please call me Belle.
Understood, Ms. Belle.
You don't need the "Ms."
I see... Well then, Mi... I mean...
Belle.
Yes?
So, what's the next job, Belle?
Ah, right. There aren't any more explorers on the seventh floor, so we're all done.
What's the matter?
Belle!
Yes?!
You should do more work!
Like seaweed washed up on the shore, there is no purpose to existing here in town.
Everything plays out atop the palm of someone's hand.
I am not even permitted to turn my back on a life of battle...
Um, Ms. Clay...
How about dancing as you read it? That should brighten things up!
While dancing...?
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 4,
"The Thieves' Guild and the Dungeon."
Ms. Clay, that was more like gymnastics than dancing...

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 04 (480p) [0DE9FB77]

The vanishing incident of Frairelvant...
The thieves' guild headquarters in the capital, Frairelvant, was suddenly wiped away without a trace one night.
It happened late at night so there were no witnesses, and all that was left behind was a deep, wide hole.
The whereabouts of the staff who must have been working there remain unknown to this day...

This place...
Yes.
We're underneath the Antomurg Thieves' Guild.
I never expected a transport circle from the dungeon would be connected to the guild's basement.
Were you surprised?
The thieves' guilds located throughout the country specialize in gathering all sorts of information,
and there are countless rumors that they also carry out assassinations behind the scenes.
That's the common perception.
Still...
Here we are.
Come on in.
Pardon us!
Were you waiting long?
No, we only just got here ourselves.
Mr. Renfringe! And Ms. Furin too!
Long time no see, Ms. Clay.
I'm glad to find you looking well.
This thieves' guild is a special case, with no relation to any other branches.
It's often referred to as the Antomurg Thieves' Guild in order to differentiate it.
It's rare to find you here, Guildmaster.
I couldn't exactly go and skip out when I heard that Ms. Clay was coming.
This girl has talent.
I always figured you would manage to pull off something we never could,
but I never expected you to join up with the dungeon from the inside...
It's just how things played out.
Still, I knew this was a special thieves' guild, separate from all the others. And yet...
I never would have thought the items for exploration were being provided by the dungeon.
It's no wonder that would come as a surprise...
Here are the expanded bags.
30 small ones and 20 medium... Yes, I've confirmed they are there.
Expanded bags can hold a lot more than you would think from looking at them.
They're spacious inside, and if you shove your hand in it feels like it's stretching.
They come in large, medium, and small sizes.
And here are the return scrolls.
Right. There are 50 of them in total, correct?
Return scrolls are consumable items.
If you pour magical power into them they activate, returning you to the dungeon's entrance.
Their area of effect is two meters.
Even if you stick out a little, it will apparently be fine as long as you're recognized as one singular object.
Thieves registered with the guild are provided expanded bags and return scrolls.
Considering how essential I found these in tackling the dungeon,
I feel like I was dancing atop the palm of your hand, Belle.
Ah, that reaction...
Don't worry. I didn't set up this system. My predecessor did.
Your predecessor?
Yes. What I'm about to say is highly classified, mind you...
Right.
There were hardly any thieves at all in explorer parties before the advent of the thieves' guild.
They tended to focus on firepower instead.
As a result, 80% of all deaths came from traps...
That's nearly all of them, isn't it...?
Yes, and so...
The explorers in this town are underestimating traps far too much!
We need to give them a proper education on them!
That's what my predecessor said.
He was a good-natured guy?
Still, if he wanted to educate, wouldn't it have been easier to make use of the adventurers' guild?
The adventurers' guild is a worldwide organization,
so it would be difficult to use them solely to help educate this particular town.
I see...
And so, we ended up forming an organization here in town to produce and provide the appropriate materials.
You're in cahoots?
There's always something going on behind the scenes, you know.
Still, I find it hard to imagine the main thieves' guild would overlook a guild being made just for this town...
That's true...
At first, we were warned to officially join under them.
When we ignored it they sent assassins, so we had no choice but to go have a word with them...
It turned into quite the commotion.
You may have heard of it, actually. It came to be known as the vanishing incident of Frairelvant.
What did you do...?
We just snuffed out some sparks.
After that, we became a matter they refused to touch, apparently.
I see...
I'd like to check these, too.
Ah, coming!
I never would have expected that to be the truth behind that incident...
Have I been involved with something totally unbelievable all this time...?
Will this work?
I'm just glad to see you looking well.
Yes!
Have you made any progress regarding Mr. Brance?
I still haven't found anything out about my father.
But in all likelihood, I believe he made it to the tenth floor.
Ooh... And how far have you made it, by the way?
I've entered into the ninth floor.
How far do you think I could make it?
To the seventh... No, the eighth floor.
My, I just can't beat you.
The adventurers' guild has only made it to the seventh floor, correct? Unbelievable...
Still, that's Mr. Renfringe for you! The man who used to be the greatest assassin in the thieves' guild!
Used to...? What happened?
You're still with the thieves' guild, aren't you?
We headhunted him from the main thieves' guild.
Huh?!
I don't take fights I can't win. And besides, it seemed more fun being here.
Is that why they took a hands off approach...?
Well then, we'll be asking you to take care of the repairs.
Please give my regards to Mr. Rangard as well.
Right, got it!
Ms. Clay.
We have yet to find any evidence of Mr. Brance leaving the dungeon. And so...
Then he really is...?
Indeed.
He must still be there in the dungeon...!
Is it really okay just doing verbal agreements for deliveries and retrievals?
It's fine. expanded bags have individual markers on them so we can track them if anything happens,
and we do transfer over the bare minimum of necessary documents.
Transfer...? You can do that?
Ah, there it is being delivered now.
There's a monster here in the room...
Oh, that slime is for business use, so it's essential.
Business...?
By using two paired slimes, you can have one slime eat the paper and the other one spit it back out.
I see.
Expanded bag repairs... These ones sure are beaten up bad.
It's true that I thought about the possibility of theft when I was handed one, but still... Individual markers...
Hold on... In that case, I could follow the bag to my father...
No, I'm certain he reached the tenth floor and fought with Belle.
If I don't reach the tenth floor myself and ask Belle then... My father, he'll...!
Eh?! You used your work connections to find out on the sly? How lame!
He'll make fun of me!
Is something the matter?
No, it's nothing...
I just realized anew how inexperienced I really was.
Huh?! Inexperienced...?
So, what am I doing today?
Ah, yes, well...
What about helping out Mr. Rangard with bag repairs?
You really are amazing...
I'm more impressed with your skill at taking them apart...
Destroying things is a simple matter.
Don't think I'll accept it just because you said that like it's totally natural.
Okay, all that's left is for me to put them back together. Thanks.
Right.
Oh yeah, and leave me your weapon you use for exploration.
My weapon?
I'll do some maintenance on it.
You're using one from the dungeon, aren't you? So I'm the best man for the job.
I had heard that weapons imbued with magic didn't require maintenance.
Hmph. What a laughable rumor.
I should also adjust it to work better with you.
I was taught not to adjust weapons, and to instead put them to the greatest use as is.
That's a good lesson.
But that's just a theory from the user's side of things.
The tool and the user should serve to elevate one another.
I appreciate it, but it wouldn't be fair for me to be the only one who receives such treatment...
The little lady's been in a good mood lately.
And why's that?
Because she made a friend.
How I see it is you're one of us. What's wrong with giving you a little preferential treatment?
No one but my father's ever said something like that...
Thanks.
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
It can't be adjusted?
Yes... Or to be more accurate, there would be no point in doing so.
No point...?
I'll be revealing the trick to it a bit, but do you want to hear it?
Well...
The tool and the user should serve to elevate one another.
Please tell me.
Understood.
This dagger hasn't accepted you as its owner, so it's unable to display its true power.
It's alive?!
My name is Clay. What's yours...?
Sorry, but that's not what I meant...
The true capabilities of this weapon have been sealed away.
I'm sorry for asking, but where did you get it from?
I'm back...
Good job getting as strong as you have.
Keep training on you own from here on out.
I've left you the nicest weapon I had on hand, so go ahead and use it!
I was given it by my father...
I see... This dagger came from the tenth basement floor of the dungeon.
The tenth floor is presently the deepest one in the dungeon, so we assign top class monsters there.
The same is true of the treasure. It's all on the level of a national treasure or higher.
A national treasure...?!
As such, it would be troublesome if just anyone could use them, so we put restrictions on their capabilities.
To be specific, they can only be handled by people who have reached floor ten.
If anyone else uses them, they will just display an added buffing effect, rather than their true power.
Just a buff?
Yes... I believe it should be on the level of something from the sixth or seventh floor.
That's plenty...
Since I haven't reached the tenth floor, it still isn't showing its true strength.
Oh, so my father really did make it there to the tenth floor...
So I was thinking, I could lift the restrictions if you'd like, Ms. Clay.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll pass.
It will feel pathetic if I don't achieve it myself.
I figured that was what you'd say.
Well then, for today, I'll be showing you the monster lodgings!
Monster lodgings?
It's huge...
It certainly is. We have some rather large residents now and again, after all.
If they need a space this big, they wouldn't be able to fit down the hallways in the dungeon, would they?
We prepare special rooms for such employees.
How freeform...
We also have an arena for training here. I bet you're interested, right?
That's true.
This is the shared lobby.
I see... I've met quite a few of them while exploring.
Ahem, everybody...
This is Ms. Clay. She'll be helping us out for the time being.
I imagine you'll be running into her from here on out, so I hope you'll get along well!
Do you have anything to add, Ms. Clay?
Wh-what, an introduction?
I'm an explorer, Clay. Circumstances have led to me working here.
I am a novice at this job, so I hope that you all will help to teach me the ropes.
Here's to working together!
Oh, so you're a coworker?
So you're one of us?
Hey, you're the daughter of that wind slicer guy, right?
Wind slicer?!
Hey, hold on! I'm sure you have questions, but I just wanted to let you all see her for today!
That went pretty well, didn't it?
This is a shared space, so a lot of folks who like interacting live here.
I see...
Those who don't want to interact with others have specially prepared separate rooms equipped with transfer circles to take them straight to work.
I had heard tell that transfer circles were a sort of lost magic that was only seen in ruins and dungeons...
Wait, this is a dungeon, so I guess that's right...? Maybe...?
We're here.
This is the arena.
No one is using it currently.
You can observe, but it's made to be difficult to see out from the inside, so as not to be distracting.
There's a barrier around it, so you can't interfere from the outside either.
Those who wish to use it can employ a crystal to enter.
As a result, you can't use it if you're not registered with the crystal.
There are folks who aren't registered?
There are.
Monsters who treat their lives relatively lightly...
They treat their lives lightly...?
Excuse me?
That guy...
Lanky...
Lanky?
No, it's nothing. Do you have some business with me?
We attended the introduction earlier, but I figured your real business may have been here instead.
I see...
Are they not goblins?
I've never heard of such an intelligent goblin before.
Sorry to ask, but... are you goblins?
Ah right, we should have introduced ourselves first. How rude of me.
I'm the high goblin Shieldmurg.
And these are my younger brothers Bandeg and Bondog.
High goblins...? A superior species of goblin?
I see, that explains the intelligence.
You're strong. Will you have my children?
Intelligence...?
Hey! It's only polite to save talks of breeding till after you've beaten your opponent!
I've never heard that rule before, either...!
Could I ask you to refrain from discussing such matters here?
O-of course!
Anyway, we had something we wished to discuss...
It's fine.
You want to fight me again, right?
Y-yes... How perceptive of you.
Anyone would have regrets over losing before having a chance to show off your skills.
You should also try to hold back your bloodlust a bit better...
Sorry about that...
It's embarrassing to admit, but my brothers and I simply can't accept what happened to us.
I'm sure.
I accept.
If you touch the crystal on the pedestal and say "enter,"
a copy based on your recorded data will be placed in the arena.
Then, your consciousness will be transferred there simultaneously, so...
That face totally says that she doesn't get it...
If you touch the crystal and say "enter," you can go inside.
Got it.
When you want to leave you say "exit," and you'll soon be back outside.
Enter.
Your equipment looks different than before.
Now that you mention it, that's true...
Shall we do this some other time instead?
No. I have my favorite weapon at hand.
Oh, and you can go ahead and cast support magic in advance.
Are you going easy on us?
Of course not. But there are no traps or reinforcements, so I can focus solely on the opponents in front of me...
That's far too great of an advantage on my end.
I'll take you up on that, then...
Were those words just now?
They're quick.
They're coming at me from above and below, too.
And when I jump back, they're launching magic.
They're more skilled than The Ice Wolf's Fangs. However...
He focused too much on speed, and didn't give it enough power!
Now then...
Do you surrender, or should we keep going? I'm fine either way.
Doing it barehanded hurts, though, so I'm not too fond of handling things that way...
Ah, they withdrew, huh?
That was way more subdued than when they turn into gems...
Now then, I should also...

The body of a dinosaur, akin to armor...
Even striking at it extracts a heavy toll.
You must use all the strength in your body, striking as if to cleave steel, making your body like stone...
Um, Ms. Clay...
I thought of a way to help you brighten up!
Are you trying to tickle me?
Huh?
Ah, apologies. I didn't mean to guess it...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 5,
"Coworkers, Family."
I really am sorry.
No, it's fine...

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 05 (480p) [73CF3006]

Um...
Did I startle you? My apologies.
My name is Reilmond. That was a good fight just now.
Thanks.
To have a being this powerful watch me without even noticing... I let my guard down far too much.
I'd like to thank you for showing me that wonderful display.
I was told you are here for training.
Told...?
If so, perhaps I can be of some assistance.
She said it's hard to see out from inside, didn't she...?
There she is!
Go for it!
Despite appearances, I have been assigned to the tenth floor.
I believe I would serve as a good training partner.
This is a monster strong enough for the tenth floor...
I have one weapon, and no injuries.
My stamina seems fine as well.
I should do it.
This is just what I've been wanting.
Please, grant me a match.
Right...
Well then, shall we get started?
A rattling sound effect plays
The wall of common sense crumbles
Never mind arguments about evil or justice
More importantly, just do it now!
If you strum at that supposedly rusted heart
It will reverberate in an almost embarassingly wonderful harmony
Even if it's micro, it sort of feels like a revolution, doesn't it?
A premonition of fate, that everything will change from here on out
Heartbeat accelerating, attacking more fiercly
When you're always getting surprised, detours aren't so bad, right?
It's a basic of life, that it's a waste not to have fun
Lightly raise the volume on your true feelings
Come on, give smiling a try
Thinking on it, there's no way this guy's hide will be less tough than that monster's...
With my current skill level, it will likely be impossible for me to even cut him.
Okay, let's start with the back!
I'm surprised you dodged that.
I thought I had caught you off guard.
This is bad. It's not just his tail. He can move his neck way too freely too.
If I let him slip out of my field of vision, it'll be trouble.
I can't just keep dodging forever.
Training...
Right. This is the time to sharpen any techniques I'm still inexperienced in...
Let's give it a try.
If magical power dwells in living beings and the undead,
rather than using my vision, I should be able to combine that with their presence in order to see everything.
His neck is twisted and his legs are spread wide... A bite is coming!
She's dodging so quickly! Is she reading my moves?
It sure is tough...
But it's working.
I couldn't ever raise my precision before at sensing presences and magical power,
but now it's going smoothly.
Is this because I went into that skeleton?
I get the feeling I've grown more accustomed to handling magical power.
At any rate, I think I can fight!
Damn, I let my...
Oh my...
How shocking, that even that wasn't enough to kill you.
Not just anyone can do something like that, imbuing magical power into your arm to deflect my attack.
This is the result, though.
I couldn't make it in time with my weapon. I really am still far too inexperienced...
Well, look at the state I am in as well. We got one another good.
I suppose that was at least enough effort to show my gratitude.
Allow me to propose that we stop here.
Huh?
What do you say?
O-okay...
I hate feeling pain, after all.
Well then, pardon me...
Huh...?
He hates pain...?
Good work out there!
R-right.
Well? How was the arena?
How was it...?
I think it served as proper training.
I also have things to work on. But...
I don't know if it's fine to say this...
My motivation feels drained.
That makes sense.
My father would gather magical power directly into his limbs.
I just couldn't get that to stabilize. Instead, I could pour it into magically imbued weapons.
Back then...
My weapon wouldn't make it in time, so I poured all my magical power into my arm in its stead.
Was it a case of my arm failing to guard from the breath attack and getting burned up,
or was it instead unable to withstand the careless use of magical power?
Magical beings like golems, wisps, and slimes generally can't be injured without magically reinforced weapons.
The most effective method is attacking with magic.
In other words, a subset of magic like a slice wrapped in magical power could also work.
Does that theory also apply to skin and scales that have been protected by magical means?
This is great. I feel the possibilities opening wide.
I never expected I could grow this skilled at handling magical power.
I'm grateful to Kraitze and Belle for giving me the opportunity.
My current goal should be raising my speed and accuracy using magical power. And also...
The contents of your work...?
Yeah. What am I doing here, ultimately?
You've just been showing me around. I've hardly done anything at all that can be classified as work.
Huh?!
But you resupplied treasure chests, didn't you?
I only handled the simplest part of the job.
Er...
You dealt with those explorers on the seventh floor!
That was just you listening to my request.
Ms. Clay, this is your first time being hired for a job, isn't it?
This is the first time I've taken on a job not given to me by the guild, yeah.
To start with, you're doing your work just by being here.
Just being here counts as doing a job?!
That doesn't sound right.
You're here because I hired you, rather than being here of your own free will, correct?
Huh...?
If you're employed but have no work to do, that's a failure of management.
It's not as if you aren't doing your job.
In other words, it comes down to my ineptitude.
I see... So it's like I'm on standby, waiting for orders?
A failure of management... Yes, I see.
It's rough seeing you calmly repeat that.
At any rate, I just haven't decided yet what work I want to have you help with, Ms. Clay.
You haven't decided?
I wanted more personnel, but I hadn't gotten to the point of figuring out the implementation when I hired you.
With the wall and all...
Oh yeah, that.
So I figured for now, I'd have you stay by my side and experience all sorts of jobs.
I see. Got it.
So, what am I doing today?
Well then, could I ask you to help me make treasure?
Treasure? Like what goes in treasure chests?
That's right.
This way.
It's located far from the catalyst and mineral storage, isn't it?
That's true. We don't want everything to get blown up if something were to go horribly wrong.
Blown up...?
This is the place!
Filthy...!
Mr. Rangard prepared the materials for us, so just add whatever magical effect you want.
Just add whatever?!
You make things that sloppily...?
Ah, no! The weapon you have is a proper item and everything!
You see, we offer lower quality items on the early floors.
But the turnover is high for the treasure chests,
so we need a lot of them, and it soon got boring making the same stuff.
So I tried making stuff that was a little bit unusual, but...
Mr. Rangard chewed me out and told me to throw it all out.
And that's what was in the third storage space, huh?
So won't you try thinking some up with me?
Very well. I'll help you out with whatever I can.
You're a lifesaver!
But after that, we're cleaning up this room.
What's your response?
Shining leather armor!
A bandana with cooling power!
A dagger that leaves shining trails behind it!
Treasure chests are no place for dumping novelty items.
What are you doing going along with her, Clay?
My apologies. I didn't know imbuing magic could have such a wide variety of effects, and I got carried away.
Look at how I'm being treated...
Well, fine. Just be more careful in the future.
Oh, and what do you say to experiencing equipment making next?
Can it wait until after we clean up?
You have my firm support.
I'm on it!
Dungeon People.
You don't have to handle those so delicately. They won't break.
I didn't expect you to actually come.
I make a habit of keeping promises.
Is it okay to ignore your duty resupplying treasure chests?
Yeah. It's not like that's a fixed responsibility of mine anyway.
When I'm not around, the runts take care of it.
I see.
This is where we dig up ores.
Are just two of them enough for the job?
Hmm? Yeah, this is a task for spare personnel.
Spare personnel?
It's that room in the back.
What a huge, smoothly shapen room.
So we're heading to the back of this place?
Nah. This room's just the remains of the little lady using magic to do some digging.
Apparently she digs it all up and then sorts it. Says it's more efficient that way.
She did this all herself?
About how long did it take?
Quicker than it'd take you to count to ten, I'd say.
That quick...?
Will I really ever be able to beat her?
And so, to keep a little grasp on reality, we do a little bit of proper mining, at least in form only.
I sort of get it, but I also sort of don't...
This is the shared workshop.
The golems look like they're running it all on their own.
Yeah, that's true.
With the turnover rate for treasure chests on the early floors, I just can't make equipment fast enough.
And so, I taught the runts how to handle all that.
Those golems are way too useful, aren't they?
Nah, there are some serious individual differences between them based on their personalities.
So it's important to assign work based on their various strengths and weaknesses.
It's pretty tricky, honestly.
Differences based on their personalities...
They have personalities?
Of course they do. What do you think golems are, exactly?
G-golems.
Yeah, they're golems.
So you should get it, right?
I really don't...
Take Regredd, there, for example. He's bad at fine detail work, but good at managing his strength.
Was that a name?! But which one...?!
Well, whatever. My work space is in the back.
It's surprisingly cramped.
It's convenient, since it's easier to reach stuff like this.
Hmm...
Everything's right nearby!
It's the same logic, so why does it feel so different...?
Here.
Daggers?
I tweaked the center of gravity. Which one feels easier to use?
I see... One's heavier along the blade's edge, and the other in the center...
I can use either of them without any issues.
This is for the adjustment. You must have a preference, right?
I appreciate the thought, but there's no need to go that far.
That's just the weapon I'm using now.
There's a high probability I'll get ahold of a stronger one in the future, right?
That may be true in terms of capabilities, but there's no guarantee you'll find a better dagger.
I'll just keep opening chests until I find one.
There's no beating you, is there?
I could tell by watching the work before. You made this, didn't you, Mr. Rangard?
The other three I have right now were made by the golems. I'm right, aren't I?
You're not wrong. How could you tell?
Intuition.
Intuition?
With that in mind, I have a question I want to ask.
What is it?
Are there any daggers you've made in the treasure chests on the ninth floor?
Oh?
There are. No clue if they're in the chests right now, but I've made them.
Then it's fine. I feel motivated now.
Not to squash your drive, there, but the quality will be the same as the stuff made by the runts for the same floor.
Yes, but that's not an issue.
Really? I just don't get you...
Oh? Well, I can't help but be terribly happy at the thought of using a weapon made by someone close to me.
She really is a genius when it comes to getting folks fired up, isn't she?
It's tea.
Thanks.
You're always so considerate, Simone.
Simone?!
This is a good opportunity, so why don't we have a bit of a chat?
Right.
To start with, we work using tools and equipment.
The little lady, meanwhile, handles everything else with her magic.
Right... That's not a feat that can be matched.
We only manage to do about as much as she can with her pinky finger alone.
The whole dungeon pretty much revolves around the little lady.
Don't you think you could manage as much as the thumb?
What's the difference?
That system hasn't changed at all since the old master's time.
The old master? The administrator before Belle?
Yeah...
They were a real weirdo who lived to build the dungeon,
who would do anything for it and didn't give a damn about anything else.
A weirdo...
It would be easier if the little lady was like that too.
Hmm? It'd be easier if she was a weirdo?
That's right...
More so than her feeling responsibility for taking up the post of administrator.
Responsibility...?
The little lady said we were short staffed and needed more personnel.
So I was the one who set the conditions for recruitment.
I was trying to show how impossible it'd be, and never expected her to find a proper candidate... That was you.
S-sorry?
Don't worry about it.
What the little lady was really lacking wasn't personnel.
It was allies she could talk to, who would stand by her side.
As she kept watching groups of friendly adventurers challenge the dungeon together, she grew lonely.
Good work today!
Right. I'm back.
Well? How was it working with Mr. Rangard?
It was amazing.
To start with, you flatten out your magical power along the surface.
Flatten?!
I don't think I could ever manage that.
I believe that you could do it with practice, Ms. Clay.
I've got a long road ahead of me...
We talked, too.
Ah, so that's why it took so long.
And he told me a bit about you, too.
Huh? Mr. Rangard told you about me?
Was it good stuff? Or bad?
It's difficult to say.
She grew lonely?
That's what managing the dungeon is like though, isn't it?
That's true... But that's not how it all worked out.
Until she took over the role and they parted, she spent all her time with the old master.
I see...
What do you think of Mr. Rangard, Belle?
Huh?! Well...
Er...
To begin with, Mr. Rangard's already there working alongside her.
He should be able to do something about the problem himself.
Um, well...
Ah, my apologies.
I was asking if you saw him as a coworker, or as something more.
Ah, I'd say I see him as something more. He's more like family.
See?
In that case, you should do it your...
And I also see him like a grandfather who's stubbornly refusing to retire.
I guess... you can't stand by her side like that...
He's been involved since the time of my predecessor, and it's like he kept on accompanying me too.
So it's not that simple, huh?
I suppose it's best to ask directly.
What does Mr. Rangard think of...
I've asked him that before! And then...
Don't make me say it!
So awkward!
You and I draw lines on a pure white blueprint
A never before seen blue spreads and fills that tiny frame
The blueprints I draw alone never make it to completion
The crumpled up remains of those ideals piling up beside the window
My sense of distance soon gets out of sorts
My feelings have no sense of direction at all
In such a clumsy labyrinth
We met on the opposite side from the goal
In this unstable and incomplete world
You'll ask, "Should we go somewhere?" and we'll just laze around
We'll take those unfinished outlines that were just as we imagined
And seize an awkward yet beautiful future, just for us
Thanks to that miracle of finally meeting you after stumbling and getting lost
I've come to think I can love even these distortions a bit
In lines almost like scribbles, far from the ideal
We can laugh together and say, "That sucks!"
And draw our blue together
The sensation slowly built up in me, bit by bit.
A wicked desire to polish my swordsmanship further.
Those thoughts filled my mind as I bit into a chunk of meat, like a lion or dinosaur...
Ms. Clay!
Look here. You're steadily getting more bright and fun. More fun...
Laugh as you read it...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 6,
"Exploration and Cooking."

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 06 (480p) [AE2DE900]

Ms. Clay...
You only ever eat bread and dried meats.
Yes. What of it...?
The vegetables prepared for you haven't been getting used at all, so I couldn't help but notice.
For me? You don't eat any, Belle?
I occasionally bite into some fresh ones.
But I can't eat anything that needs cooking.
What is all this cooking equipment for, then...?
I was taught to survive on meat and water while exploring.
Um...
Right, I'm not exploring now, and it's not so bad to eat a variety of food.
Huh? You can cook?
This isn't cooking. I just grill or boil it.
Huh?!
What is it?
There are cooking knives in the lower cabinet.
Isn't it best to stick with what you're used to when it comes to blades?
She clearly never even considered getting used to cooking knives...
Now we just need to wait for them to boil.
We'll take a break for the time being.
Um, are you going flavor it after that?
Flavor?
Er, like with seasonings and the like...
Ah, such tasks are best left for professional chefs.
It's not something for an amatuer to mess with.
H-huh...?

Listen well. Cooking isn't like fighting, where you just need to beat your opponent.
If you mess up the carving, you'll die.
If you use seasonings or condiments wrong, that'll kill you too.
It's an unbelievably dangerous technique.
Don't treat it carelessly.
If you need it done, leave it to a pro.
That's what my father taught me.
But why...?
I've personally experimented with using salt in cooking.
About this much.
Just using that small amount was enough to make the boiled vegetables into a frighteningly salty soup.
Amateurs shouldn't mess with cooking.
I-I see...
How absurd!
Ah, Mr. Rangard. What do you mean?
Your strength is top notch, but you're seriously clueless outside of that, aren't you?
I can't deny that.
Listen, with salt, you're supposed to shave it down and just use a bit at a time.
You're not supposed to use a whole chunk of the stuff at once. That'd kill you.
I see... So that's how it is.
Are you here on some sort of business, Mr. Rangard?
Yeah. I ran out of water, so I came to fetch some.
Ah, I can get that for you.
Oh, hold on, Ms. Clay.
Hmm?
When a dwarf says water, he really means alcohol.
What do you call ordinary water, then?
A disappointment.
A disappointment?
It's a disappointment because it doesn't serve as lifegiving water.
I see... So that's it...
I don't get it at all.
So, what're you two up to?
We're discussing how we're not consuming any vegetables.
Do you not eat any, Mr. Rangard?
Vegetables? You humans are the only ones who go around eating leaves and the like.
You can get by just fine on water and meat.
Is that so...?
Wait, could that work for humans too?
Alcohol can be used to disinfect, after all...
It's a racial trait. Don't try to imitate him, okay?
It's cooked.
Since you're here and all, why don't you two give it a try as well?
Yes, it came out like normal.
It's got the bitterness and flavor of leaves to it...
I can taste the fibers from the vegetables...
I see. If it's edible, then that's plenty.
Let me be honest with you. This is crap!
Yes, I feel the same way.
You're aware of it...?
It's bad, but it's food.
As long as it's edible, that's good enough.
What a low bar!
We aren't going to get anywhere like this.
Why not have somebody teach you?
A teacher...?
We're counting on you, Ms. Furin!
Thank you for the help.
I never imagined my first time venturing into the dungeon would take such a form.
S-sorry about that...
It's fine.
I was interested in the dungeon's residential area, after all.
To think, you have a device to handle fire this easily... This is amazing.
You knew how to use it...?
I can tell that much just by looking.
I'd love to have one back home too, but it's only possible thanks to the magical power filling the dungeon, right?
That's true.
What a shame...
Well then, let's start by teaching you how to fry up vegetables and flavor them with salt.
Oh, I know even better ways to show them pain than frying. And I don't hold back.
I'm not about to learn now, either...
When I said we would fry them, I meant as a cooking technique.
All done.
Delicious!
Just the one dish looks a little lonesome. Shall I teach you another simple dish?
That sounds wonderful!
Then let me have a look at your ingredients in the back.
It was certainly a surprise to learn that there were some parts you eat and others you throw away.
That's true. I didn't know carrots had skin at all from looking at them.
Me either.
Ah, Ms. Furin. Did you find anything that looked usable...?
This is dragon meat, isn't it?
Ah, yes. It was provided to us in the past...
This is a high quality ingredient!
Gourmands would pay a fortune for it!
Is it tasty?
Of course it is, but...
Ooh, then let's eat it!
Is it really okay to have someone merely on my level cook it...?
That's the best option out of the members present... But understood. I'll give it a try.
Okay, I'll do it. I'll give it my all.
So delicious...!
What is this?! It's so juicy!
That's down to the quality of the ingredient. You can learn to make it this well in no time.
Is that so?
Was my father mistaken...?
Thank you so much for coming out today, despite how busy you are.
Once you know the basics, it just comes down to trying out all sorts of different things.
I hope you'll give it your all.
Right. Thanks.
Ms. Furin...
Here's some dragon meat for you to eat with Mr. Renfringe.
Can I really have it?
Yes, please take it, to show my thanks.
Thank you so much!
I'm sure it'll make him happy! The master is a first-rate cook, after all.
Huh?
He's the one who taught me.
Really?
Ah, instead of handing it over, we should ask him to...
Take it with you. You're busy with work, aren't you?
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
The cooking I was taught today was all new to me, but the techniques felt more familiar than I expected.
Are there other things I've overlooked thanks to my own preconceived notions...?
Like when I fought that dragon, Reilmond.
Did I learn something...?
Dragon meat...
It sure was delicious...
Dungeon People.
Let me just start by saying, they were well maintained to begin with, so there was hardly any work for me to do.
Sorry for having you leave them with me.
The handles looked a little rough so I fixed them up, but that's about all I did.
It's a perfect fit. Just the sort of work I'd expect from you.
R-right...
But do you really need to spin it all around like that?
That's how I handle them.
When stabbing, it's best to point it like so and shorten the distance.
It's well suited to feeling things out.
The same goes for when you throw it.
On the other hand, it's easier to put strength behind it like so.
Rather than slicing, it's more like fixing your arm in place.
And you can stabilize it further by using both hands.
When you're slipping past your opponent's guard, this is an easier way to use them.
Using the two blades makes it hard for them to stop you.
It's easy to read your movements based on your grip, so you need to frequently shift it to confuse your foes.
That requires training, so you can do it instantly.
I've never heard her this chatty before...
Still, to think she's doing stuff like shifting her grip around
to shake off predicitions of when she'll throw and the like... In other words...
Thanks.
I should be able to use them without any issues.
You fixed them up in a way I couldn't.
I see. Ah right, there's one more thing I almost forgot.
Hmm?
Women's armor?
Is this for Belle?
No, it's for you, Clay.
For me?
But I already have my own armor...
I'm well aware. That shabby junk you could buy off the shelf.
Shabby...?
I know why that is, too.
It's because the women's armor from the dungeon shows a ton of skin, right?
Er, well, everybody has their own tastes...
It's not rare at all for someone to not like something.
I appreciate the sentiment, at least.
What a roundabout refusal...
I know this sounds like passing off the blame,
but that skimpy armor all got made when the old master was around.
The old master...?
Back around when I first started working here.
Stuff for women? I've just gotta match it to their figures, right?
No, armor for women needs to show more skin!
Skin?
Yes, more skin!
Thinking back now, he was asserting his own tastes.
What is this urge to kill I feel boiling up inside...?
As a result, there still isn't any proper armor for women around the dungeon.
I'm a big part of the reason your armor's so shabby, so take this, as my way of apologizing.
I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure I can accept such preferential treatment...
You're the only woman explorer wandering about the floors
where you can get decent equipment in the first place. Just accept it.
R-really...?
Wait, didn't Belle make any armor?
Let me warn you... The little lady's sense of style is just awful.
I guess I'll at least try it on.
Right.
The armor on the arms and legs isn't made of metal, mind.
That's no issue.
And this is easier to move in than it looks. Plus it isn't showing too much skin...
I made it with materials gathered from monsters.
It's both flexible and durable.
I see...
I'll go ahead and use it. You have my thanks.
Right.
Ooh, you've got new clothes! And they suit you really well!
Thanks. Mr. Rangard gave them to me.
You're off today, right Ms. Clay?
Did you come here just to show me?
No, I'm here on other business.
Other business...
I got back the weapons I entrusted to Mr. Rangard, so I'd like to resume exploring.
You mean in the dungeon?
According to our agreement, I'm free to act as I please on my days off as long as I don't leak any information.
It shouldn't be an issue if I wish to explore the dungeon, right?
That's true, as long as you maintain proper work hours.
And my recording in the crystal... I can't keep going around with my life being protected like that, you know.
Huh? That's not okay?
Wait, it'd be fine?
No, that's not alright.
As it stands it wouldn't be any issue at all if I died, so there's no risk to exploring the dungeon...!
Even if you're recorded in the crystal, you'll still feel the sensation of dying.
But if that's still not enough for you, let's see...
How about if your copy dies, you'll be banned from exploring the dungeon?
Banned from exploring...
My father trained me since childhood to explore the dungeon. I'm an explorer...
Banned from exploring...
If I'm not an explorer anymore, then what will I even be?
You'll still be Ms. Clay...
I see.
That truly may be the same as dying.
Understood, let's do that. There should be at least that much of a punishment.
It was tougher on her than I expected...
That was my first time just slipping through a wall like that...
You need assistance from the runts, and you can only do it in set places.
Anyway, I'll be going. Are you alright getting back?
Yeah. Belle gave me a return scroll.
Sounds good. Just don't let your guard down.
Right.
Now then...
It would be difficult to place the same monsters on patrol as before,
so you'll be restarting from the stairs on the ninth floor.
Sorry about that.
I can't sense the lanky... Er, the Shieldmurg brothers.
I can at least tell that something's here... but what?
I can't feel as much of a threatening aura as before.
Actually...
A human-shaped flame?
Some sort of spirit?
The sort that summons allies, huh...?
The main body's feeling me out? In that case, I'll take the initiative!
Now!
Did that do it?
So it was the type that vanishes once you defeat its main body?
No gem, either...
Is it actually dead, then? Wait, are spirits even alive to start with?
I'm not really sure.
This is my first treasure chest on the ninth floor... What will I get?
Here goes...
The greatest cause of death in the Antomurg dungeon is none other than traps set in treasure chests.
There are generally two types of traps used with chests.
One uses physical attacks like arrows or explosions.
The other...
That click sensation means it's a magical trap.
There are a large variety of magical traps, like ones using natural elements like fire or lightning,
or ones that impact your capabilities, like with poison or paralysis, but the mechanism is always shared.
In this case, you go like so, and...
Got it.
What a shame... this is a miss.
There have been more large treasure chests appearing from the fifth floor on,
and they're filled with large equipment that didn't show up before that.
In other words...
I'm getting more misses now, since I'm after a dagger.
Still, there are times like now where several smaller items are inside, so it's not like it's hopeless.
This is a similar presence to earlier...
Spirits?
Is it all spirits on patrol today?
Ah, no, I shouldn't think about the administrative side of things. That goes for the treasure chests, too.
Right now, I should act like a proper explorer.
Spirit monsters have a strong sense of perception, so it's difficult to sneak up on them.
Spirits... Plant ones?
That one's humanoid, too.
That's some sort of mental magic attack!
Is this thanks to my training handling magical power?
My reactions to magic are quicker now.
That may have been dangerous in the past.
A gem...?
It felt like a spirit, but was it not? I just don't get it...
My training is undoubtedly paying off.
I can deal damage to spirits like normal by adding magical power to my slash attacks.
That said, it uses up magical power. I'll have to be careful with my remaining supply.
Just how much can I make it work in actual combat...?
There didn't seem to be any impact using magical power against this one.
So it depends on the opponent...?
This is difficult.
As I am now, I can't make that judgment just by looking.
I still need to think it through more.
Also, it's more exhausting to use in actual combat than I expected.
It will probably still be a bit before I can handle it naturally.
It's very useful to be able to use magical power when fighting...
Just understanding that much is a great result in and of itself.
I should fully prepare, rather than pushing myself too hard.
That way, I'll have the power to push past what may seem impossible.
That's what it means to explore the dungeon.
Welcome back, Ms. Clay!
When I come back, there's someone waiting for me...
Yeah...
I'm back.

Next time on Dungeon People, episode 7,
"Monster Job Interview."
You two... You didn't...!

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 07 (480p) [AD155B5D]

Visualize that skeleton...
Damn, I need to be even quicker...
You sure are working hard.
Well? Do you think you can manage?
To be honest, it would be impossible to handle on my own.
What do you think, Latta?
Well, let's see...
I can't help but think that skeleton that gave us such a hard fight was the true leader there, not the lich.
That certainly does seem plausible.
Shall we make our plan for next time with that in mind?
Yeah.
We're the top guild in the adventurer's guild.
And so, we've got to hurry up and clear the seventh floor.
For sure.
A rattling sound effect plays
The wall of common sense crumbles
Never mind arguments about evil or justice
More importantly, just do it now!
If you strum at that supposedly rusted heart
It will reverberate in an almost embarassingly wonderful harmony
Even if it's micro, it sort of feels like a revolution, doesn't it?
A premonition of fate, that everything will change from here on out
Heartbeat accelerating, attacking more fiercly
When you're always getting surprised, detours aren't so bad, right?
It's a basic of life, that it's a waste not to have fun
Lightly raise the volume on your true feelings
Come on, give smiling a try
For today, we'll be holding interviews for monster recruits.
Interviews...? You really have been hiring, huh?
Of course! Ah, but it's not like we'll interview just anyone.
Only those whose applications we've accepted.
Is such a step really necessary?
Oh, it's nothing all that involved.
As long as they're intelligent enough to understand the applications, they'll be fine even if they can't speak.
Even if they can't speak?!
No wait, isn't that normal for monsters?
Also, there may be combat involved, so you'll need to bring a weapon.
As long as you don't need me to go all out, this one alone should be fine.
Is there a practical portion to the interviews?
No, you just occasionally get attacked with them.
So casual about it...
Actually, is it okay for an explorer like me to accompany you?
We're talking monsters who will be posted around the dungeon, right?
Ah, right. Consider it a side benefit.
A side benefit?!
You won't talk to any outsiders, right?
Yeah. It was in my contract, after all.
Then it's no issue.
If we worried too much about your status as an explorer, you'd never be able to get any work done, after all.
I guess that's true...
Well then, let's head out.
This place...
It's the final room, isn't it?
Yes, since we can accommodate anyone here, no matter how large.
I see...
The table and couches feel incredibly out of place...
Do you set these up each time?
No, they're left out.
Left out...
Of course, I didn't want them to get mixed up in my fight with you and destroyed,
so we held that match a fair bit away.
Way over in that direction.
It was in the same space...
So the interviewees are going to come here?
That's right.
I'll create a summoning circle for each candidate.
That sounds like a real hassle.
There's no helping that.
Each case has different sizes and special conditions, so I can't use the same approach for all of them.
I see.
Okay, I'll summon the first candidate.
I'll be the one handling them, but if anything stands out to you, please point it out.
Got it.
From an unknowable time and distance, come forth from a space cut off by an unseen wall...
Invert this land and that one.
This magical power is so intense I can feel it on my skin...
Connect to the flow of power, and descend upon the place that has been marked.
Mr. Parappoparo, correct?
A roar?!
Please have a seat.
Thank you for applying for this job.
You have no issues with the work conditions laid out in the documents, correct?
Right, then we'll proceed as such.
Yes.
Ah, yes.
They're having a conversation? Those are words?!
That bit should look as such...
Well then, I'll send you the details later!
What did you think?
Well...
What sort of language was that?
He seemed to understand what Belle was saying, but what were they discussing...?
She said she was hiring from the demon world, but what sort of place is that even?
To start with...
What is the purpose of these interviews?
Ah right, I forgot to explain.
Though I call them interviews, in our case it's less a means of determining whether or not we will hire them,
and more a final check, meeting them in person.
Getting to see each other before starting work eases nerves,
and we also occasionally get some who run wild thinking,
"As if I'd work under someone so weak looking!" so it's a good chance to educate them.
Educate...?
But based on that conversation just now,
it seems like you'll hire anyone with a bare minimum level of intelligence.
Yes, anyone will do!
It's more fittingly dungeon-like that way.
Oh yeah? I suppose that's true...
Do you mind if I summon the next interviewee?
Ah, could I ask a question first?
Yes?
Parappoparo, I think it was...? I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Ah, sorry. It completely slipped my mind.
Ms. Clay, you don't have any communication based abilities, do you?
I-I don't...
We could use a tool to assist with that, but I don't have it on me now. What should we do...?
I see. Then I'll watch and try to understand as much as I can.
Shall we continue on?
Ah, you mean it? Then I'll take you up on that.
Ms. Fuuka, correct?
That's a cat, isn't it? What's going on here...?
Please have a seat.
Ah, I see. You can't move. Then we can do the interview here.
It can't move...? How does it survive, then...?
Right, a fixed room, then.
I believe so.
That's no issue!
It's fine even if they can't move?
That's right. I'll put her in charge of a fixed room.
He's huge!
It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Teruru.
I'm the dungeon administrator, Beilleheila Langdass.
And I'm her assistant, Clay.
You have my deepest gratitude for inviting me here.
Ah, no, thank you for coming out all this way.
So this one speaks the same language...?
Please have a... Ah, I suppose that won't work.
No worries.
I'm here today for a final check, correct?
Right.
I meet with everyone here in person and confirm their consent, as well as discuss our policies...
He acts all innocent, but despite that huge frame,
he doesn't have any openings...
You don't really get any intruders on the tenth floor, but you will be well compensated as a result.
The tenth floor?! I see...
Yes, I understand. Thank you very much.
We cannot make magic gems ourselves.
It is quite helpful to be able to procure them directly from the demon world.
Magic gems? Demon world?
I look forward to working together.
Me too.
Well then, I shall see you again when the time comes.
Right. We'll be waiting.
A tenth floor monster, huh...?
Ah, yes. So he caught your interest after all?
I'll certainly keep him in mind, but I was more interested in that conversation.
The conversation?
What's a magic gem?
Magic gems... You remember the stone you used when you were registered to the crystal, right?
Yeah. The thing that guarantees my survival.
That's the one.
That same technique is used to imbue magical power into stones, which are called magic gems.
They're valuable, as they serve to preserve magical power.
I see. Teruru also said that he could get them directly from the demon world. What did he mean?
Ah, well, er...
Is it a delicate matter?
No, that's not it...
It's just a bit complicated.
Can you sum it up simply?
Simply...?
Well, monsters call this world the demon world.
This world is the demon world...?
Er, let me explain things in order.
The vast majority of monsters can't use magic.
Hmm...
But the lanky... Um, Shieldmurg used it, didn't he?
That was something different, called spiritual arts.
And now we've got a whole unfamiliar classification!
Unlike what we use, called holy arts,
they make an offering rather than altering and manipulating magical power.
Oh, really?
I don't get it!
And so, they have no techniques for handling magical power.
They see me as a magical being who manipulates that force, and call me a demon.
As this is the world where demons live in their minds, they call it the demon world in turn.
Er...
That's way too big of a misunderstanding!
There are way less people out there who can use magic though, right?
You should correct them.
That's true, but still...
I'm their summoner and the administrator of this place, and the one they deal with.
And they only work here in this dungeon, and have no contact with the outside world.
So honestly, I doubt they'd believe me.
Ms. Clay, you can't use magic, but you can still handle magical power, right?
That isn't a racial ability, but a technique.
Hmm...
No, it's not like that...
Wait, am I included...? Am I a demon too...?
Well then, I'll summon the next interviewee.
Right. Sorry for taking so long.
Huh...?
Are you... Mr. Markudate?
Ha! I killed that guy!
Er, you're saying that you murdered Mr. Markudate?
Hmph, that's what I said, right?
This demon realm place sure is barren...
So, you're the demon lord, eh?
The demon lord?!
Is the black one there your special agent, then?
Wrong on both counts.
Does this sort of thing happen a lot?
No. This is the first instance we've had of someone murdering an interviewee and taking their place.
Er, I'm sorry to say that I'm no demon lord. I'm the administrator of this place, Beilleheila Langdass.
May I ask your name?
I'm Helldande.
Thank you. Now then, what brings you here, Mr. Helldande?
Ha! Bring out the demon lord!
Or at least, that's what I wanna say, but whatever.
I'm after the magic gems. And don't try telling me you've got none.
Lead me to them!
Um, so you didn't come to take the interview in Mr. Markudate's place?
Eh?!
From what you just said, you've infiltrated here seeking magic gems, correct?
Infiltrated, eh? Yeah, that's just fine.
I thought you were playing dumb, but you get it after all, don't ya?
What should we do?
Infiltrations are usually done in large numbers, so I'll let a few live to teach them a lesson.
But Mr. Helldande is here on his own, and he murdered one of our interviewees.
I don't believe we'll be letting him leave here alive.
That's surprisingly little hesitation on your part.
You shouldn't go light on intentional rulebreakers, and such intrusions should be met with force, I'd say.
This is the dungeon, after all.
That's right.
Are you all done chatting?!
So, which one of ya's gonna show me the way?
Or are ya gonna get the demon lord out here?
He was listening to our conversation, right? Did he not understand it?
Well, whatever. For now...
Can I handle him, Belle?
Yes, please do.
Understood.
Eh? What's this? You want to have a go?
Mr. Helldande.
Eh?
Ms. Clay here will be acting as our representative. I leave matters up to her.
Sounds good to me. You don't mind if I kill ya, right?
That's fine. Right back at you.
Just try it!
With Ms. Clay's exploration the other day...
Oh my, how quick!
It took less time than usual.
Why is that?
In all likelihood, it was because she exhausted her magical power.
Ms. Clay has been training to handle magical power lately...
That concentration and manipulation has been having an effect on her whole body subconsciously.
There's a limit to how you can move a body through muscles alone.
However, it's difficult to face top ranking monsters within those limits.
A domain that cannot be reached through muscles alone...
How can you get there, then?
By moving with magical power.
Hyah!
Generally, magical power doesn't exert any physical force.
It's treated as a tool solely for using magic, but there are exceptions.
You can use it on your own body.
When you find strength after your stamina has run out,
or more power bursts forth from wild emotions, you're actually using magical power.
But that fact isn't known to the world at large.
Magical power is able to move the soul, which dwells in the body.
That said, it's difficult to use magical power on your soul,
and if you add it or manipulate it carelessly, it can easily destroy your body.
I believe Ms. Clay has most likely been undertaking such training lately.
It may be training to imbue magical power into her weapons,
but she has also been learning how to move with magical power too.
She's clearly getting stronger.
What's with that insane strength...?!
I honestly thought you would be stronger too.
Is she stirring him on?!
It went smoothly enough that I incapacitated him without thinking.
O-oh, I see.
Um, do you have any final words, Mr. Helldande?
Eh?! You damn magic user! You got this close?! You fool!
Hup!
Ah... I'm glad he stayed consistent.
That would have left a bad aftertaste if he had begged for his life.
That's for sure.
How dare you, you...!
So, what now? Do we keep on going?
No, we only had those four scheduled for today to begin with.
What'll we do with the body?
Let's go ahead and make him a zombie.
The high ranking monsters in the earlier floors act too wildly, so it can be hard to replenish them.
I-I see...
It's true that I've fought the same ones again and again on the fourth and fifth floor.
Replacements, huh? I see...
Wait, hold on.
I think Helldande would be too strong for the early floors.
You lose your intelligence when you're a zombie, so it should balance out fine.
More importantly... You're not opposed to reusing the body, are you?
I've occasionally heard tell of explorers whose bodies aren't recovered later being seen as zombies.
That's how you do things, right?
Yes, that's true...
This was solved smoothly due to Ms. Clay's strength, but still... I'm a bit worried...
When you're made into a zombie, you lose your intelligence and grow weaker...
That certainly makes sense, thinking on it.
And maybe I can take it as good news that I haven't seen my father as a zombie, too.
Actually, if Belle went all out, there probably wouldn't even be ashes left behind.
But before, just for a moment, a tiny flash...
I felt that I was getting stronger too.
Looking at Belle, though, I've still got a long way to go.
I'll help you carry that.
Looks like a slow one, but how should we handle it?
Let's do it. We've got to keep on advancing, after all.
That cat was so strong...
That's for sure. It was nasty how much it could move those fireballs around.
I'm sorry. I think I got overly fixated on that skeleton from before.
But we need to deal with all sorts of other monsters too.
We can't just stay as we are.
I want to start fresh. Are you all with me?
That's not right...
You and I draw lines on a pure white blueprint
A never before seen blue spreads and fills that tiny frame
The blueprints I draw alone never make it to completion
The crumpled up remains of those ideals piling up beside the window
My sense of distance soon gets out of sorts
My feelings have no sense of direction at all
In such a clumsy labyrinth
We met on the opposite side from the goal
In this unstable and incomplete world
You'll ask, "Should we go somewhere?" and we'll just laze around
We'll take those unfinished outlines that were just as we imagined
And seize an awkward yet beautiful future, just for us
Thanks to that miracle of finally meeting you after stumbling and getting lost
I've come to think I can love even these distortions a bit
In lines almost like scribbles, far from the ideal
We can laugh together and say, "That sucks!"
And draw our blue together
My name is Markudate.
Were the foolish explorers to cross blades with me in the dungeon, all that would await them is despair.
It is inevitable that they would come to lament their lack of experience!
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 8,
"Remodeling and Employment."
Okay, that sounded great! Now to give the interview my all!
Oh? Why, if it isn't Helldande! What are you doing here?

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 08 (480p) [6F570574]

Dungeons all have their own unique rules and mechanisms.
For example, the dim spaces of this dungeon are illuminated.
It's bright enough that you don't need to bring along your own light.
But rather than something shining on it, it's like it gives off light of its own.
Also, even if there's nothing obstructing your view, you strangely still can't see far down a straight hallway.
It's almost as if a fog comes in to get in the way.
They say there's a reason for all things, but I tend not to think on such difficult matters.
Still, I did find it a strange place. At least, until I was employed here...

Remodeling?
Yes. I was thinking of redoing the map for the fifth floor.
In the dungeon of Antomurg, randomly a single floor will suddenly have its map revised.
That was seen as an old floor being updated.
But in reality...
It was seen as an especially dull low-level map, so the renewal will be like a celebration of sorts.
But if we're not careful about it, we'll get complaints.
I see...
And so, would you like to take this opportunity to make the map, Ms. Clay?
Who, me? But I don't know anything about all that.
Yes, but I feel that fact will make it feel all the more fresh.
Understood. Well then...
What should I do?
Well, let's start by pulling up the current layout.
This is what the map looks like now.
Ah, that looks familiar.
So you want me to use this as a reference to make a similar map?
That's right.
Oh, and I'd also like you to think on if there are any elements you'd like to incorporate.
Requests, huh...?
When I'm exploring, I'm cautious of corners I can't see around. And I'm even more cautious of doors.
With a split path, I keep an eye out for a pincer attack.
Then there's the question of traps in the passages or on the doors...
Thinking on it, there are all sorts of traps with the treasure chests in this dungeon,
but none for the passages or doors. Why is that...?
Yes, well...
I see, it's because the monsters can fall for them too!
Yes...
The monsters patrol about, so that would naturally happen with traps.
It just wouldn't be possible to teach everyone the knowledge and skills needed to avoid such traps.
The floors... and even the walls just wouldn't work. However...
Wouldn't trapped doors be fine as long as they don't touch them?
They may get opened when passing along a message, and more importantly...
A certain number of folks will go and open it for fun if you tell them about the trap.
What are they, children...?
Well, whatever... We've gotten off track.
Explorers tend to pay attention to the most dungeon-like threats.
In other words, sharp corners, split paths, rooms with doors... Lay those out appropriately, and that's it.
That's it...? Really?
Is that all a dungeon amounts to? It feels far too simple...
Something's missing... Something...
The enemies!
Right, the monsters!
A map alone isn't enough.
Combining passageways and traps with monsters is what makes a dungeon! In that case...
What do you think? Can you manage it?
Well, I think it would be best to consider the details
of the monsters being deployed before trying to figure out the map.
Huh?!
The terrain should be laid out to match properly with the strengths and weaknesses of the monsters.
The monsters'...
Strengths and weaknesses...
Did they seriously not consider that...?!
How exactly have you been handling things up until now?
Er, at a minimum, we ask them what they're looking for.
Aside from that... we draw lots!
Lots...?
Th-there's a proper reason for that!
Early on, we seriously considered things like species and unique traits when deciding stations.
But as the number of monsters employed grew, those positions started overlapping.
And so, well...
We ended up going with a lottery.
I see... Understood.
So the distribution of the monsters will be determined by drawing lots?
Is that okay?
No!
I'm leaving this remodeling of the fifth floor up to you, Ms. Clay!
So I want to respect whatever choices you make, and follow your orders.
Alright. Then give me the detailed information on everyone.
Let's go with lots!
The distribution of monsters will be determined through lots.
It's true that that's more impartial and less of a hassle than trying to listen to everyone's' requests.
And it also feels more dungeon-like when you don't know what will appear next.
How deep...
You look like you're really thinking on it, but it's just because it was too much of a pain.
Is there a limit on the number of rooms or their size?
Ah, there are currently no monsters who need specialized areas assigned to the fifth floor,
so you should be able to act freely.
What about treasure chests?
Oh? Well, we figured since the newcomer was taking charge, we'd go all out and prepare 15 of them.
That's not an issue?
The runts have been real motivated when it comes to smithing lately.
Then you've got my prototypes... Honestly, we've got a surplus.
I see.
How does this look?
What is this, a residential town plan? How'd it end up like this?
Well, I tried to pack in elements that I would dislike as an explorer.
That's not a half bad approach, but still...
The walls in the room with treasure chests are too thin.
The runts won't be able to slip through them like that.
I see! That slipped my mind.
You need a passage on the other side.
They could crawl underneath, but I'd prefer to avoid that if I can.
They can crawl with those stubby limbs...?
Well, I guess that about does it. It looks pretty ordinary now.
Right. Thinking on it, visibility is poor here in this dungeon even along straight paths.
Why is that...?
It's staging.
Staging...?
It's a specially prepared element unique to this dungeon.
Specially prepared...
Our floors don't all have unique characteristics here,
so without such careful staging, we'll be no different than a plain old cave.
A plain old cave...
If you see anything at all that will make the place feel more dungeon-like, please speak up!
R-right...
Dungeon-like...
The boss of the dungeon isn't boss-like at all!
Huh?
No, it's nothing...
There aren't any issues with the map, so let's hurry up and implement it.
Please accompany me, Ms. Clay.
You're gonna show her?
Yes. I'd say it's about time.
Got it. In that case, I'll stay behind.
Understood.
What are you showing me?
A place that could be called the core of the dungeon.
The origin point.
The origin point...?
You mean, of the dungeon...?
Is this a door?
That's right.
In essence, it's something similar to a seal.
I'm the only one it will open for.
Release.
It certainly does seem to be separate from the dungeon and the residential area...
I've never seen anything like it...
Is this also a seal?
It's nothing quite that grand, but it won't open unless you match up the magical power wavelength.
Magical power wavelength...
There are wavelengths?
This place...
My, you're quite the fine specimen for a human.
Well? What do you say to connecting with me?
When did she get there?! I didn't sense anything...
No fair...
I want a vessel too.
Dungeon People.
This is bad...! I can't fight back...!
Me too!
Ms. Clay is a precious employee.
You can't mess with her!
My. I just saw that we had a cute girl here, so I wanted to get along with her.
Sorry for the commotion.
They seem to be worked up meeting you for the first time.
R-right...
I couldn't sense their presence at all...
Are they monsters...?
No, they're spirits.
Spirits?!
Yes. This is the water spirit.
It's true that I couldn't sense spirit-type monsters either...
They're not spirit-types. They're actual spirits.
Actual spirits...?
This room brushes up against the boundary with the spirit world.
And so, spirits can take shape here.
I see...
It really, truly is anything goes here...
Here in the dungeon... Is this even the dungeon?
My, what a clueless face.
She doesn't get it.
It would take too long for me to make a floor on my own, so I leave the initial shaping to our spirit specialists.
Spirit specialists?! What does that even mean...?
We also have the light spirit, which lights up the inside of the dungeon.
The darkness spirit obstructs vision.
Obstruct!
That's how it goes.
I... see...?
And here's our earth spirit specialist.
A pleasure.
N-nice to meet you...
That one looks familiar!
Did old Stache die?
Old Stache? Do you mean Mr. Rangard? He's doing just fine.
Tch!
Number 78 here...?
I'd like to add a corner at point 65, up until point 85...
Right around here.
Right.
Also, I'd like to connect this corner...
How straightforward.
Right?
Let me join in!
Me too!
Join what...?
All done. Well?
Yes, that's perfect!
I'm counting on all of you next!
Bright, bright!
Can't see, can't see.
It just looks like they're playing around...
All that's left is the interior. The same as always?
Yes, I'll leave the rest to Mr. Rangard like always.
Then I leave the connection to you.
Thank you.
All finished. Sorry for the wait.
Right, good work. I didn't do anything, though.
Because you were here, everyone behaved themselves.
It's usually a huge mess, with them fighting with Mr. Rangard and everything.
Mr. Rangard...
See you later.
Yeah, see you.
See you later!
Control.
Dungeon area, base settings.
Consult scaled map.
Add information.
And then we do like so...
Delete selected data.
All finished!
The rest is Mr. Rangard's job.
Did you change it out just now?
It just doesn't feel like it at all...
That's true. But it just wouldn't be possible to dig it all out by hand.
By hand...? I had figured she was doing it with magic, and yet...
Spiritual arts, was it...? Well, it's like magic, anyway...
Ah, so it's all finished?
Yes! So I leave the rest to you.
Got it.
What are you going to do?
You can come watch, as long as you don't get in the way.
This looks more like a cave than a dungeon.
Yeah, but watch...
That happened in a flash... Wow... Was that magic?
This thing here recreates the image in my head.
Those spirits sure are strong, but they've got no sense for design.
I'll make it all look like an ancient ruin. It's gotta be good and dungeon-like!
I see... Makes sense that they'd fight.
I'll handle all this.
That's quite the task.
Hup!
By the way, are there not any explorers trying to enter the fifth floor right now?
Ah, well with the lower floors we'll create the new floor alongside it and swap them out,
but we don't get many explorers on the fifth floor,
so we treat the previous floor guardian room like it's in the middle of a battle and keep it shut.
I thought the floor guardian room just closed so that outsiders couldn't interfere in the battle...
So this was the real reason, huh...?
Why don't we leave this to Mr. Rangard and continue on?
Is that... a slime?
It's the source slime.
The source...
Slimes... They'll dissolve anything and everything, from weapons to armor.
On top of that, you can only use magical attacks against them.
That makes them incredibly dangerous monsters.
However, the ones in the Antomurg dungeon are far weaker than most, and never go on the attack.
Not wanting to waste their precious magical capacity on them, most explorers just ignore them.
So... are we going to do something with it?
We'll cut off some easy to handle bits to deploy in the corridors of the completed fifth floor.
It's true that that's pretty much the size of the slimes I've run into around the dungeon, but, how should I put it...?
What a sloppy means of production.
Now that I think of it, I don't recall any of the slimes I've beaten dropping gems.
There are monsters with contracts who revive through the gems,
but there are also those that don't come back...
Well, it's not like a slime could agree to a contract in the first place.
The slimes are monsters my predecessor created early on.
If you cut off a bit their skin will rupture, so we use tools imbued with recovery magic to split them.
That long knife-looking tool?
Yes.
What will happen if they rupture?
Their magical power will leak out and they'll die.
So magical attacks break the outer layer, killing them...
They're way too weak, aren't they?
They may be monsters, but their job isn't fighting explorers.
They aren't made to be belligerent, either.
Huh?
They use magical power in the opposite way of pure magic...
Ah yes, magic uses magical power to artificially influence the...
Um, er...
Slimes use magical power to break things down, so they're monsters meant for cleaning.
For cleaning...? Of the dungeon? Cleaning what...?
Ah. The corpses of monsters who don't turn into gems and explorers, huh?
So I see them a lot on the early floors because there are a lot of bodies and the like left over from battle?
That's correct.
So rather than just dissolving everything, they dissolve things in order to clean...?
I see, how clever.
Got it. So...
What's the deal with that tiny slime?
It used up to much of its internal magical power and is having difficulty breaking things down.
They're all magical power on the inside, so they get all small when it's used up.
So we return it to the source temporarily and cut out a fresh one.
If you keep this up, won't the source itself keep shrinking on you?
Yes. That's why we periodically feed it magic gems, to resupply magical power.
I see.
So convenient... Or wait, is it...?
Do the slimes that split off have personalities too...?
Huh? No, they don't.
They just carry out the task that they're given.
I'm not sure whether or not you could say they possess any intelligence...
I see.
One slip per person. And no peeking into the box!
Number 5, number 5... Where is it...?
Ah, I'm right in front of the stairs!
What number does this say?
Number 10.
We're next to each other again!
Wanna try that combination attack we practiced?!
Ooh, yeah!
No trading places!
It's even more of an ordinary lottery than I expected...
I didn't expect somebody else would be fighting the fourth floor's guardian.
Is it the Flame Heroes?
It could be Riot.
Oh, that rookie party.
This fight sure is taking a while.
Are they having a rough time of it?
If they're running into that much trouble here, they've got a long way to go.

We're the Ice Wolf's Fangs, a party of explorers challenging the dungeon of Antomurg.
First up, you have me...
Er, next time on Dungeon People, episode 9,
"King and Dungeon Master."
Hey, Latta, I was in the middle of that!
We're short on preview time this week!
Wh-what...?

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 09 (480p) [2935328B]

Not long ago, I heard a rumor that the king had yielded the throne to his son, the prince.
Apparently, the prince had handled the majority of official affairs, while the king had been in partial retirement.
I say "apparently" because Antomurg is so far removed from the capital, it's more or less out in the sticks.
It's also rare in that the town possesses the right to self-govern,
so most citizens think of such matters of royalty as someone else's problem.
That thought came back to me when I first saw Belle dressed in this ridiculous outfit.
What do you think?
What I think...?
I don't think... it fits properly...
That's true...
What's this all about?
Well, you see...
A rattling sound effect plays
The wall of common sense crumbles
Never mind arguments about evil or justice
More importantly, just do it now!
If you strum at that supposedly rusted heart
It will reverberate in an almost embarassingly wonderful harmony
Even if it's micro, it sort of feels like a revolution, doesn't it?
A premonition of fate, that everything will change from here on out
Heartbeat accelerating, attacking more fiercely
When you're always getting surprised, detours aren't so bad, right?
It's a basic of life, that it's a waste not to have fun
Lightly raise the volume on your true feelings
Come on, give smiling a try
You're meeting with the king?
Yes. Allow me to explain.
The dungeon was originally built in a remote area where no one lived.
Then explorers gathered there, a town was born, and the kingdom came to collect taxes.
The weapons and armor from the dungeon brought the kingdom strength, and the gems brought wealth.
And so, the kingdom wished to take management of it.
But from our side in the dungeon, that would just prove irritating.
Actually, our strife with the main thieves' guild was apparently caused by pressure from the kingdom.
We used that opportunity to make our way into the castle...
Shall I wipe out this castle, too?
And we entered into a direct contract with the king.
A contract... So that's why Antomurg has the right to self-govern?
That's right. But it's true that we're using the land, so we didn't want to refuse them fully.
And so, we prepared a system that allows the country to purchase the gems produced in the dungeon,
aside from the ones used in manufacturing.
And by handing over the purchased gems to the dungeon,
they can exchange a fitting amount for the armor and weapons we produce.
There's also a separate condition for the town's self-governance.
This is the real issue.
The contract was for the king's rule,
but once a new king is crowned, they get a single chance to challenge the dungeon master.
To challenge you...?
In other words, I'm heading for the castle for a showdown, to form a contract with the new king.
If they're challenging you, shouldn't they come here...?
That may be so, but I'm the only one who can use transfer circles.
I see.
So, do you think this outfit will do for the occasion?
No way.
Is that how you dress when you appear on the final floor of the dungeon...?
Ah, no, that's a different outfit.
This is what my predecessor wore when meeting with the king.
That's a relief. I'm not confident I would be able to take things seriously if she came out wearing that.
Hup!
How does it look?
That looks a whole lot better.
I just adjusted it a bit. It's not as strong as before, though.
I'll be careful.
Oh, and then there's you, Ms. Clay!
Huh?
I'd like to have you accompany me, so you'll need clothing too.
R-really...? But these clothes should be...
No good.
Considering your position, you'd either be dressed as a bodyguard or a maid.
The maid outfit would be easier to move about in,
but would the armor look more intimidating alongside a robed dungeon master?
I'm fine either way. What do the two of you...
The maid outfit.
You sure are in sync.
Could I ask why?
It'd look good on you.
You didn't practice that beforehand, did you...?
Looking good.
You think?
It doesn't quite feel right, wearing a skirt...
But I can see the upside, with how it hides the movements of my legs.
So boorish...
What should I do with my weapon?
Apparently the general method is to hide it in your skirt.
I don't really want to...
In that case.
That should do for self protection.
Hmm, not half bad. So, when are we going?
Tomorrow.
You were preparing the day before?!
When you have a scheduled event, you should prepare with time to spare.
That's true... But when I prepare too early, I tend to lose all sorts of things.
You lose things? But how...?
We really should clean up all the rooms.
Hey, that's not what we were talking about!
I just can't get used to this.
That's your role for today, so please just bear with it.
You're lucky, Belle. Your clothes aren't all that different than normal.
I'm going to have to fight in them, though.
I suppose that's true.
Hmm? But isn't that the same as always?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
We'll be transporting to a separate building from the castle in the capital, Frairelvant.
A separate building?
There's going to be violence, and we don't want to draw attention from the general public.
I see. That's no issue, then. Let's go.
Right!
Pardon me, are you Lady Beilleheila Langdass?
Yes.
We have been awaiting you. My name is Heim, and I shall guide you inside.
This way, please.
It would take a month to come all this way by horse, but we did it in an instant...
I can't let myself get accustomed to this... Hold it together, Clay...
Please wait here for the moment.
My master shall be here shortly.
An arena, huh...?
It seems they weren't waiting here for you.
I didn't specify anything besides the fact that I'd arrive today.
I see.
Aren't you going to sit?
I'm a maid.
I don't think maids are supposed to cross their arms like that...
Why are you standing before His Majesty?
Enough.
We are here unofficially, and besides, our standings are equal to begin with.
My deepest apologies for overstepping my bounds.
Very well. Simply take greater care in the future.
The king... In other words, the head of this country.
And she's his equal? That's amazing...
Still, should I keep on standing?
I don't really understand manners and the like.
Thank you for the consideration.
Pleased to meet you. I'm Beilleheila Langdass. This is our first time meeting in person, isn't it?
Yes, a pleasure.
I am this nation's king, Lugrant Haim Jasreid.
If you are Ms. Beilleheila, does that mean...?
Yes, I'm the one that you'll be fighting.
She's just a maid accompanying me, so pay her no mind.
Whoops...
A woman? I didn't hear anything about that...
We can't go fighting a woman.
Is this some kind of joke?
Ah, they're making light of her.
These are the top knights and magician of our nation,
eclipsing both the order of knights and the top-ranking adventurers.
Lestence,
Algred,
and Kiska.
She may be a woman, but don't hold back against her.
I said you could have upwards of six in your party, didn't I?
Yes, but none could match their strength, so I kept it to these three so that no one would get in their way.
Ah, understood.
As long as it's not an excuse for a do-over, that's fine.
Just to confirm, if we defeat you, we shall take control of the dungeon Antomurg, correct?
Yes, that's right.
And if you can't, I would ask that you continue assisting our management as you have done up until now.
Very well. May I ask one question first, though?
Go ahead.
My father tells me there was a girl accompanying the man with whom he formed the last contract.
That was you, correct?
That's right.
Then your attendant there is to be your successor?
Ah, no. She really is simply an attendant.
The girl herself looked shaken by the question, but well, let's leave it at that.
That's just because I was surprised. You're way off the mark!
I hear you are the master of the dungeon.
So you shall have no objection, even if you are to perish in this place, correct?
Yes, assuming you can manage to do the deed.
Now then, as I have my hands free, do you mind if I give the signal to start?
Please, go ahead.
Well then...
Begin!
Dungeon People.
Your opponent casts magic with terrifying speed,
dominating a space before swordsmen can close the distance.
It's impossible to cast magic that fast. What a monster.
That's certainly true. We'll have to take a simple approach, then.
Be even quicker! Don't give her time to chant...!
Unbelievable!
You want me to go easier?
Sure, I could put on a show and pretend it's a good fight, but it'd only be bad for them.
Nobles and kings, they think they're the chosen ones.
If you make the mistake of giving them hope, they'll attack again and again.
Don't think of it as protecting the contract. You've gotta fan them up and then absolutely crush them.
The only way to get that lot to honor a contract is through force.
I was told to just stand here, since they'd finish it with close quarters combat...
But they're moving too fast, and the situation would change as I chanted anyway...
There's not actually anything I can do here, is there?
Still, that woman is easily dominating those two with just a staff... That's just not normal.
They certainly do seem to be skilled.
However, their physical capabilities seem to be throwing off their movements.
Those movements...
They're the result of being unaccustomed to support magic enhancing their physical abilities.
Those two outside of the building... did they cast the support magic? And then purposefully hide that fact?
A strategy, to make it seem it was just these three fighting?
What a tiresome lot...
Unbelievable...
Lestence is the greatest of the order of knights,
able to overwhelm even massive monsters with but a single spear.
And though he got his start as an adventurer and is fickle and moody,
Algred can compete on equal footing with Lestence.
Those two can't so much as lay a finger on her...
As for Kiska, he's completely lost the will to fight.
However...
We can have a party of six, and if she surrenders or is knocked unconscious, we win.
That's all there is to it, right?
Th-that's true...
Understood. And thank you.
I shall succeed without fail.
At the time of the challenge, all that is determined is the details of the battle.
I'm able to act freely otherwise.
Pardon me.
Don't worry about it.
Stop right there!
My apologies, Ms. Beilleheila, but I ask that you halt all further movement.
If you fail to do so, your adorable maid will come to harm.
My deepest apologies...
Um, should we continue on?
The two knights are one thing, but Heim is stronger still, and yet he ended up like that...?
In other words, it's clear that she could easily kill me at any moment if she so wished.
I surrender. This is our loss...
Understood.
Hey, you.
Yes?
If we head into the dungeon, can we challenge you again?
Certainly, if you can make it that far.
You hear that?
We'll handle the rest through correspondence, as always.
Understood.
Do you have any further questions?
Nothing so grand, but I do have something I'd like to ask...
Go ahead.
W-well, you showed excellent skill...
May I ask your name?
Huh?
He wants my name...? But why...?
I see... He intends to defeat me before Belle, and take me as a hostage, right?
He undoubtedly sensed that I was weaker than Belle by watching my movements before.
If I give him my name, he can research me.
Considering the circumstances, I should use an alias.
But what should I go with...?
R-Rangard.
Rangard... What a wonderful name.
Seriously?!
Shall we meet again?
Huh?!
I don't want to...
Sorry, but could we save that for some other occasion?
I-I see...
Yes, you're right... My apologies.
Excuse us.
Rangard, is it...?
Can you look into her?
As you wish.
I really do feel more at ease like this.
But it looked so good on you.
I don't need your flattery.
That's no flattery. The king thought so too.
That was just a plot to use me, since I'm weaker than you.
A plot...? That's ridiculous...
Right, such things could happen again in the future. Please keep on taking care.
Yes, I'll do just that.
This is just fine. As long as Ms. Clay's here...
I want to keep her all to myself.
Do you want to eat?
Yeah.
Mr. Rangard!
Ah, so you're back! Want some meat?
Looks tasty, doesn't it?
Ooh, it's still on the bone!
I would like some.
Hmm? From the king?
Yes. It's an inquiry.
Seeking information on a Rangard? What's this about?
I'm not certain... What should we do about it?
Did he see the name engraved on equipment from the dungeon...?
M-Ms. Clay...
What is it?
We just got a notice that the thieves' guild is investigating an individual known as Rangard.
The alias from the other day?!
It says to have you explain the details to Mr. Rangard, Clay.
Understood. But still, how exactly should I apologize...?
I'm sure I'll get a whack later, as the one in charge...
I'm so sorry.
You and I draw lines on a pure white blueprint
A never before seen blue spreads and fills that tiny frame
The blueprints I draw alone never make it to completion
The crumpled up remains of those ideals piling up beside the window
My sense of distance soon gets out of sorts
My feelings have no sense of direction at all
In such a clumsy labyrinth
We met on the opposite side from the goal
In this unstable and incomplete world
You'll ask, "Should we go somewhere?" and we'll just laze around
We'll take those unfinished outlines that were just as we imagined
And seize an awkward yet beautiful future, just for us
Thanks to that miracle of finally meeting you after stumbling and getting lost
I've come to think I can love even these distortions a bit
In lines almost like scribbles, far from the ideal
We can laugh together and say, "That sucks!"
And draw our blue together
Though I've continued to chase after him, I haven't caught even so much as a glimpse of his back.
I hear the name "Wind Slicer" drift through the air...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 10,
"The Wind Slicer's Daughter."
Huh? We're done already?

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 10 (480p) [D6F8E852]

I was an adopted child, so I never knew my real father and mother.
Apparently, my parents had connections to the thieves' guild.
They died due to an accident on a job, so I was placed in the care of the guild.
And supposedly, I grew attached to my current father.
Back then, Brance...
Well, it's a secret.
Honestly, I think that's a lie.
However, I have a memory of grasping onto my father's clothing in the thieves' guild.
That's enough for me.
My father's the one who raised me, and I respect him.
That's why I came here to this dungeon...
Chasing after him, where he disappeared.
My current goal is to clear the ninth floor... And then, I'll come to the tenth.
I'm also curious about this thing's true worth.
And separate from that, I think I've gotten used to my work a bit... Just a bit, though.

Morning.
Good morning.
I've gotten used to work... And that's why I've noticed a certain something.
Before we get to work today, do you mind if I ask you something?
Go right ahead.
When do you sleep, Belle?
I sleep each day.
Late at night...
Can you not get to sleep?
Not really.
I suppose there are some people who have trouble sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow.
And on days where I get up way too early...
You're already here?
Hehe!
You're always working, aren't you?
Well... It's my residence.
Your residence?
I have a personal room, but this whole dungeon is like my house.
Your house...?
Because it's her house... Is that why...?
A sigh?!
The dungeon as a house... I never even thought of that.
Were you raised here, Belle?
Raised...? Yes, this was where I spent my early years.
I see.
If she spent enough time in the dungeon to have even been raised here,
it would stand to reason that her common sense would be warped.
A house... The dungeon as a home...
I'm sorry... for wrecking the wall to your home.
Huh...? I-it's fine...
In other words, just because you're in the work space, that doesn't mean that you're working...?
Well, it's still possible that I may be...
Which is it...?
H-how should I put it...? Um... It's always been this way...
I generally just do as I please when there aren't any urgent situations to be handled.
So work is sort of like household chores, I suppose...
Hmm...
I haven't seen any rooms meant for entertainment for her to use here in the dungeon,
aside from the ones meant for development.
Even when she has time off, does she still prefer to manage the dungeon?
That makes sense...
No wait...
You've got to have some other hobbies or something, don't you?
For example...
In my case, I'll do maintenance on my exploring gear...
Belle doesn't use it often, so that wouldn't be necessary.
Actually, where does she even keep it normally?
What about restocking herbs and assorted equipment?
That would just be more work for Belle. And I guess she'd leave that up to the golems anyway.
How about training?
I get the feeling Belle doesn't do stuff like that.
What else...? What else is there...?
I suppose that may be the case after all.
Right... To me, managing the dungeon is work, but to Belle, it's an everyday task...
This is confusing...
I don't have experience with any other jobs besides exploring, so I just don't know.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Ah, no.
Shall we get to work?
Right. Well then, Ms. Clay, is there anything you want to do today?
What's this all about?
We went to the royal castle the other day, right?
Yes, we did.
After dealing with a troublesome lot like that, you should take some time off from work.
Putting in time off after a big job, you mean?
Ah, rather than taking time off, it's resting as work.
How is that different...?
You won't be doing any work, but you'll still be paid.
Is such recklessness truly acceptable?!
Recklessness?!
Um... It's more tiring dealing with humans than monsters, so it's a reward for your hard work.
I see...
In that case, why not do something you'd like to do, Belle?
Don't worry. That's what I always do.
She's got a good life...
A reward... What I want to do...
I can't even manage anything in terms of dungeon work on my own yet,
much less figure out something I want to do.
I need to study a whole lot more, so that tasks can be left up to me...
I'd like to work.
But why?!
I want to hurry up and become capable of doing enough work to earn my pay.
Well, my own ineptitude comes into play there too...
That's not what I meant...
This is what I want to do.
She's so overly serious that I don't know what to do with that!
You only just started here, Ms. Clay, so I won't try to assign you a fixed job so soon.
Besides, the majority of my management tasks need magic to handle anyway.
Still, both Mr. Rangard and I are fully used to having you as a coworker.
There are still lots of jobs you haven't seen yet,
so let's try out all sorts of things and try to find one that works for you.
So, well... It would be a big help if you would give me this time.
She was still thinking on what's next, huh...?
Okay, I'll take a break from work for today.
Got it!
Coworkers, is it...?
That makes me happy to hear, somehow...
Long time no see, um...
The name's Pekkomo. And yeah, it's been a while.
Ah, right, Pekkomo.
Do you need something?
It's more that you've been standing here looking all this time, and it's started to get a bit uncomfortable...
That wasn't my intent. My apologies.
Are you off duty today? What brings you here?
I'm looking for someone... For a monster.
I don't think you needed to specify...
They were all crowding me to chat that first day, but now they're all distant.
Makes it hard to call out to them.
Well, you see...
Please know that I'll show no mercy to anyone who acts carelessly towards Ms. Clay.
Ah, never mind!
They're probably all just nervous!
I mean, you put up a fight against that dragon fellow and everything.
Hmm...
More importantly, who are you looking for?
I'm already here, so I can at least lend you a hand.
Ah, that's a big help.
You see, when I first came here...
Hey, you're the daughter of that wind slicer guy, right?
Wind slicer?!
The wind slicer, eh?
If they said "daughter" there, he's your dad?
That's what I'd like to confirm.
But how are you gonna look for them?
I've been listening for their voice.
Their voice?
The voice I heard back then...
Hey, you're the daughter of that wind slicer guy, right?
It's them...
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
It's them...
Huh? What's going on?
And then, you see...
Pardon me.
Oh, it's you.
My apologies for interrupting your conversation, but there's something I'd like to ask you.
Could I trouble you for a bit of your time?
Go right ahead. What is it?
Actually, I've got stuff I wanna ask you too. So, first off...
So close!
Oh, my name's Binky, by the way.
Well, the real thing's way longer, but I figure it's easier to just call me that.
A-ah, I see...
And so, you see...
My apologies, but could I ask you to calm down?
I'm totally calm!
What are you, a kid?
Why don't we change locations?
That attracted some serious attention just now.
S-sorry.
This should do.
See you around!
Bye!
So, what did you want to ask?! I'm seriously super curious!
Is she seriously just like this?
You asked in the past if I was the wind slicer's daughter, didn't you? I'd like to hear more about that.
Huh? Did I say that?
She forgot?!
It was back when Belle... I mean, the administrator, introduced me to everyone.
Ah, oh yeah... I think?
Which is it?
I just sorta say what comes to mind.
It's not like you remember all the details of what you say, though, right?
Yes, that makes some sense.
Hey, you should remember stuff like that!
Well, whatever... I'd like you to tell me what you know about this wind slicer.
Sure, no problem!
The wind slicer's a real dangerous explorer.
You think you hear the sound of the wind being sliced, and then you're dead...
The source of the sound is a throwing knife.
They often come from outside of your field of vision,
but they're so fast you can't even see them flying your way head on.
There are currently no methods of countering it.
Have you fought him?
Honestly, I was done in before I even realized it.
The wind slicing thing was a total lie. I didn't hear a sound.
If you're not skilled enough, you wouldn't pick up on such a thing.
Sorry I'm just assigned to the fifth floor! What about you, eh?!
I've never run into the guy.
Something feels off...
What is it?
I should have punched it too.
Nah, you shouldn't. There are plenty of opponents out there your fists won't work on.
And you can swap out weapons, but you'll be in real trouble if you wreck your hands.
Huh? But...
Even I'll use weapons, depending on who I'm up against.
Using my fists... It's more of a personal obsession. Like a hobby.
Punching as a hobby...!
The father I would knew would close the distance and fight primarily with martial arts.
I certainly don't think he'd be bad at throwing, but the thought of him making that his main weapon of choice...
It just feels wrong.
But from what you said, he made it to the tenth floor, right?
I don't think I could take him even if we did fight.
Oh yeah?
Right...!
The tenth floor.
I could see punching just not doing the trick there.
If I think of it as him changing up his style to counter that...
No, I just can't picture it.
My dad, throwing knives? It just don't make sense.
Still, why'd you say she's his daughter? Do they look alike?
It's a pretty famous story, that the wind slicer brought his daughter along to train her.
Haven't you heard that before?
Seriously? I've never heard about that.
The wind slicer...
My dad's the only one crazy enough to have brought a kid into the dungeon.
But he was so fixated on using his fists, so throwing knives...? It just doesn't add up.
I'm only just now realizing... I've never seen my father get serious.
And yet, I say so often that I'll overcome him... How utterly conceited.
It's downright embarrassing. I'm glad I never told Belle...
That said, my goal of growing stronger remains unchanged.
All I need now...
is a weapon!
I really want to obtain a weapon made by Mr. Rangard.
I'll be training and exploring the ninth floor for the time being.
So the wind slicer is his nickname, huh?
That's far too cool for my old man.
So the goblin quarters are within the dungeon...?
Yes. We also perform selective breeding here.
Selective...?
What's that mean?
The goblin quarters are in here.
I see.
It really is a goblin village.
Hello there.
Yes, that's right. It's our usual inspection.
Goblin-ese...
Goblins... Monsters assigned to the early floors.
They can use daggers and clubs, but prefer crude weapons.
On their own, they're generally understood to be weak.
They hardly ever drop gems, either.
That means they don't transfer back to the crystal.
A large number of them are killed, each and every day.
In other words, they must multiply fast enough to make up for that...
As for how they reproduce...
They capture women of other races and impregnate them!
What's the matter?
I was thinking on how the young goblins here were born.
Ah, I see. Well, we were about to go look in on that, so I can explain as we do.
Huh?
This is a field, isn't it...?
Yes.
A sprout...
This is a goblin field.
A goblin field...?
Does she mean a field to grow food for goblins?
There aren't any goblins working here, huh...?
They're not suited to the job.
So they aren't intelligent enough to harvest vegetables?
Huh? Ah, you've got it all wrong.
These are goblins growing in the field.
There are goblins... growing here?!
S-so this is a goblin...?
That's right. It's sprouted, so it just needs to grow a little more.
Ah, perfect timing.
They're about to harvest, so let's go observe.
We're here to watch.
The sprout is growing from its horn...
It came off!
My predecessor is the one who established this process.
I see.
Apparently he deployed normal goblins at first, but rather than multiplying they were wiped out in a flash.
They're goblins, after all...
It was too difficult to capture the few female explorers that came through and reproduce that way...
You have to deal with such concerns on the other side of things, huh...?
And so my predecessor did all sorts of research
and realized goblins were highly compatible with the earth spirit,
and it became clear that they possessed vegetable-like traits.
Um...
When a goblin dies the dungeon absorbs it, then the tree further in gathers all that up and produces seeds.
Then the spirits do some things, and they can be grown in the fields.
I see...
That face says she got none of that!
What are they drinking?
A specialized nutrient supplement.
If you feed them too much of a variety they get carried away and become gourmands.
What a troublesome lot...
I'd like to try to improve them a bit more, but this is a technique of my predecessor's that I don't possess.
You don't...?
That's correct. He never taught me.
But that doesn't mean that I've given up! I'm researching it, bit by bit!
So there are things that even Belle can't do...
I'll take them once you're done.
They looked like captured criminals...
Oh, that's because if you leave them be, they'll start digging up the fields and cannibalizing.
Cannibalizing...?!
That's why we treat them like that until they're ready to move into the village.
Still, to think that goblins grow from seeds...
Explorers would overcome the monsters with numbers alone,
so the revival with the gems and this system with the goblins are necessary.
Wait, is it necessary...?
What is it?
Ah, it's nothing.
Why does Belle go to such lengths to maintain the dungeon...?

Next time on Dungeon People, episode 11,
"Those Who Are Not Protected."
Do you want something?
Nah.

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 11 (480p) [A63B6A1B]

Murderers in the dungeon?
Yeah. They came to Antomurg recently and have gotten real famous.
Hmm... That's strange. If they're that infamous, it's odd that the guild hasn't dealt with them yet.
It's because they look friendly and are smooth talkers.
On top of that, there's no proof of their crimes in the dungeon.
They're a slippery lot, so they can make it all look like accidents.
How troublesome.
I thought so too, so I headed for the thieves' guild.
They're a long-haired swordsman, a bald sorcerer, and a standoffish fighter...
Please exercise caution around them.
Right...
I got warned instead.
You shouldn't underestimate the guild's information network.
At any rate, let's keep an eye out for them.
I'll bear that in mind.
A rattling sound effect plays
The wall of common sense crumbles
Never mind arguments about evil or justice
More importantly, just do it now!
If you strum at that supposedly rusted heart
It will reverberate in an almost embarassingly wonderful harmony
Even if it's micro, it sort of feels like a revolution, doesn't it?
A premonition of fate, that everything will change from here on out
Heartbeat accelerating, attacking more fiercely
When you're always getting surprised, detours aren't so bad, right?
It's a basic of life, that it's a waste not to have fun
Lightly raise the volume on your true feelings
Come on, give smiling a try
They're the ones, right?
Yeah.
The murderers.
Those people?
They look gentle mannered, and seem to be considerate towards the people around them.
It's hard to imagine they would do such terrible things...
Ah, you're back.
There were two of them! Two of them!
Why'd you bring them back here?!
Because you were right nearby!
Damn it! Take this!
S-save me!
That just leaves...
Seems you made it through just fine.
So quick...
Are you just starting out?
Ah, yes...
You really saved us.
No worries.
It can be scary actually seeing goblins in the flesh, but their skills are shoddy.
As long as you stay calm, you should be able to handle them.
Right!
You should start by getting accustomed to combat, so that you can keep your cool.
Right!
Well then, give it your all.
Thank you very much!
They really were just rumors, weren't they?
Calling such fine people murderers... It must just be jealousy.
Seriously, thanks so much!
He took it out in a flash!
Amazing!
So quick!
So cool!
Right, those scumbags.
The higher ups have taken a liking to them, so it's a real hassle.
Listen up. Unlike the thieves' guild, the adventurers' guild has branches worldwide,
and is an independent organization uninfluenced by the kingdom.
Our members take on jobs like exterminating monsters, bodyguarding, searching for items, and scavenging.
Since we employ a lot suited towards rough jobs,
our punishments are harsh towards rulebreakers who heinously do things like murder.
That's how it's supposed to be...
I'm well aware, sir.
Yet those scumbags have smoothly hidden their fangs and bribed the top brass,
so they're getting to do as they please.
What does the thieves' guild have to say?
Officially, they're just giving out warnings. And they haven't contacted us.
Guess I can't expect anything from them... So, where do things stand?
The rumors have circulated throughout the guild, so they're being avoided to some degree.
But they're quite consistent in playing at being good people, and some continue to buy into that act...
My name is Hilkemast.
My companions are Buggs and Atoto.
I'm Millielent.
It seems we have a priestess who has accepted their invitation.
I want to call her an idiot for thinking they're good people just because they act like it,
but still, we've got a lot of real scoundrels in our midst.
It gives me a headache, seriously...
So, have they already entered the dungeon?
Yes. I just received word as such.
Got it. Good work.
I'll handle the rest. You can go.
Pardon me.
Good grief...
You'll handle the rest, won't you?
That's right. As long as we can handle them as we please.
No worries there.
How I see it, they've been doing as they please. Murder, pinning the blame elsewhere, striking from behind...
Oh my... I see upper management still hasn't changed, letting folks like them run free.
That's for sure. You just can't get them to make a move.
Well then, we'll do something about them in the near future too.
I'd like to see a lot more work from a skilled guildmaster for the adventurers in the future, after all...
I'm counting on you, more or less.
Seriously though, when did that oldtimer even sneak in here...?
I see. Got it, I'll get things ready.
So...
What exactly is going on today?
You know the rules of the dungeon, don't you, Ms. Clay?
The rules? The ones with the thieves' guild, you mean?
That's right.
The big one I remember being emphasized was that explorers aren't supposed to mess with each other.
Yes, that's the one.
Still, people will still ignore that. It's just a warning, after all.
About that... I know that you've been a victim of such actions, Ms. Clay.
My predecessor allowed for such things, as he thought it made it feel more like a dungeon.
Makes sense.
But...
It's not like that anymore!
I won't allow such things to occur in my dungeon.
My dungeon...
I see.
In other words, today's task is maintaining the peace in the dungeon.
Maintaining the peace...
You've got monsters and explorers fighting all over, so can you really call that "peace"...?
It looks like she wants to say something...
So we'll be purging adventurers?
Purging?!
No, as I just explained, we'll be dealing with people who haven't been following the rules!
Oh? And how will we deal with them?
We'll capture them and make them into undead, to serve as an example of what happens to rulebreakers...
Is that why she's on edge?
So that outfit is supposed to make you like a security guard?
Well, I'd say more of an executioner...
Ah, there's one for you too. Over here.
Here.
Looking good. You really look the part.
What do I look like, exactly...?
So if the job is dealing with rulebreakers, are we just standing by for now with nothing else to do?
That's right, until something happens.
What if those fears are unfounded?
We have a toast.
The thieves' guild's opinion is that we should wait to move until they take the bait.
Guess that settles it, then...
I had heard the rumors, of course, but it's always so intriguing seeing monsters turn into gems.
It's a phenomenon that only occurs in Antomurg.
You don't even need to deal with that troublesome conversion of goods into money offered by the guild.
It's amazing.
Speaking of which, I had heard rumors of folks ignoring treasure chests, but you really don't mind doing so?
Yes. I heard you never get anything good out of the chests on the early floors,
and I'd be worried about the risk of them being trapped.
This time around, we mainly just want to see how far we can make it.
Understood.
It's a huge help that you came along, Ms. Millielent.
Even if there aren't any traps along the hallways, it would be rough going without any healing.
Think nothing of it. My party had just dissolved too.
It seems they weren't able to find anyone from the thieves' guild, on account of those rumors.
I can handle a bit of close-quarters combat as well.
With these members, I'm a middle guard protecting the sorcerer.
I had figured if it came down to it I could always just whack the sorcerer and run for it,
but it seems like everything will work out just fine.
Well, it seems like we won't have any problems on the fourth floor either, as long as we don't slip up.
That's true. You're all quite strong.
By the way, I was a bit curious about something. Could I see your weapon?
Huh? Sure.
What do you think you're doing?!
My, what a nice look on your face.
A floor guardian, was it?
From what I've heard, even once we beat it, nobody else can enter until we advance on.
No matter what happens, no one can interfere.
It seems to have started, unfortunately.
No toast then, huh?
Let's get going.
Dungeon People.
Sorry to ask when everyone's all fired up, but could I get a bit more detailed of an explanation?
Right, well...
Should I send them ahead?
Yes, please do.
Murderers?
To think that such a group has been left to their own devices...
Sorry for taking up so much time. Let's get going.
Right. Here...
My right hand hurts, but I can move it. Still, it's not like they'll give me time to cast healing magic.
My mace is at his feet. There's no way I'll be able to pick it up.
Should I run to the entrance? But there's no way I'll be able to take my time opening the doors.
Then do I have to slip past them and head to the next floor? All on my own?
Ugh, I can't believe they were putting on an act all this time. And they fooled me so easily...
Hey Buggs, don't use the knuckledusters. Do you want to go and break her?
Whoops, wasn't thinking there...
Hey, if you behave yourself, we'll go easy on you.
Huh?
What are those things?
Step back and prepare yourself.
R-right.
Floor guardians?
I've never heard anything about more appearing...
Still, it's quite unpleasant, having you going and interrupting our fun.
You can stop that? How annoying...!
They're monstrously strong, and more capable than they look.
It's a stone, right? So I've just gotta smash it!
So tough!
What do we do?
They seem to move sluggishly. Let's just ignore them and move onwards.
We even have a convenient distraction.
They're seriously the worst...
Still, if I'm going to die either way, this may be better. At least it'll be as an explorer...
Ah, my mace...
Th-thank you...
Is it telling me to get lost?!
They're up ahead too!
What?
What's going on here?
Wasn't the area around the stairs supposed to be a safe zone?
There's no point in asking me.
Tch... It's just the one.
Let's pretend to fight it and slip on past.
Got it.
What's with that stance?
Now.
That ridiculous stance was so it wouldn't lose its balance no matter which way it swung its sword, huh?!
I suppose we must exchange some blows. Follow me.
Buggs...?
Who...?
Huh?
What is this place, you two?
No clue.
I was dodging an attack from that golem, and before I knew it, we were here.
Greetings.
You're the one from before...
Yes, I invited you all here.
Welcome to the end of the tenth basement floor, the final room.
The final room? Does that mean you're the floor guardian of the tenth floor, young lady?
That's correct.
The one we just defeated was the floor guardian for the third floor...
The one for the fourth floor would be one thing as it'd be on the same level,
but my information said the difficulty jumps up for the fifth floor on.
In other words, challenging the tenth floor would be suicide...
Still, the threat of the dungeon comes from its monsters.
It's a matter of making it past the monsters crowding each floor and facing the floor guardian,
a repeated cycle of combat and exploration.
We have no injuries and plenty of stamina.
If we're facing the challenge in such perfect condition,
even if she's more than we're set to handle, we have a chance!
I would normally give my name at this point,
but it's not like you made it here of your own strength, so that won't be necessary.
That's a shame. So, what do we need to do to have you send us back?
This is the dungeon, so you just have to use force. Like you just did to that woman you were partied with.
You...!
I see. If you know about that, we can't go and flee, nor can we let you go.
It's fortunate that they've taken human form.
They should only be able to move like a person can. And they're women, too...
If they know shame, then we can likely create an opening just by ripping their clothing.
If this is truly the tenth floor, they'll be much stronger than they look.
Don't hold anything back.
Right!
Buggs, you take the black-haired one to the side.
I'll aim for the staff. You look for an opening, Atoto.
If we come to a stop, you can fire off a big one.
For monsters and humans both, killing is a matter of experience...
I had wondered what sort of people these murderers were... Those eyes say they're well accustomed to killing.
It seems there's no need to hold back.
As if a dagger's enough to stop these fists!
I'd like you to avoid cutting off their limbs if you can help it.
If they're split apart when they die, the connection point will be weak even if you make them into undead.
I see...
In that case...
The torso, perhaps?
What in the world is she...?!
She just keeps on dodging!
To think that the tenth floor would be this intense...!
This is bad. How is Buggs...
The third one ran for it.
That bald bastard!
I see. This is our loss.
However, I don't want to die.
They may be monsters from the dungeon, but they definitely seem to possess intelligence. And so...
Why don't we make a deal?
A deal?
Yes. If you let me go, I'll become your underling.
We can act outside of the dungeon. And we can gather information for you as well.
What do you say?
Outside of the dungeon, you say?
Got her!
We already have the thieves' guild, so we're fine.
Besides, you've already proven you can't follow the rules, so, you know...
Damn it...
What about the one who ran away?
Should I chase him?
Hmm...
He's within range, so I'll take him down.
Within range...?
Fly forth, oh arrow of power.
She managed that much force and range from such a quick chant...
Back then, how many of those could she have fired off?
Belle.
Yes?
Is it fine that you took off half his body?
I'm Fen, leader of the Ice Wolf's Fangs.
I swear that we mean you no harm.
But would you mind telling us why you're here on your own?
The Ice Wolf's Fangs... I know them. I've seen them too.
They're the highest ranking party in the Antomurg adventurers' guild.
I've never heard any bad rumors about them...
Am I really... finally okay now...?
Huh?! What?! Did I scare you?!
You made her cry.
Huh?!
Ugh...
Huh?!
You and I draw lines on a pure white blueprint
A never before seen blue spreads and fills that tiny frame
The blueprints I draw alone never make it to completion
The crumpled up remains of those ideals piling up beside the window
My sense of distance soon gets out of sorts
My feelings have no sense of direction at all
In such a clumsy labyrinth
We met on the opposite side from the goal
In this unstable and incomplete world
You'll ask, "Should we go somewhere?" and we'll just laze around
We'll take those unfinished outlines that were just as we imagined
And seize an awkward yet beautiful future, just for us
Thanks to that miracle of finally meeting you after stumbling and getting lost
I've come to think I can love even these distortions a bit
In lines almost like scribbles, far from the ideal
We can laugh together and say, "That sucks!"
And draw our blue together
What do you find fun, Ms. Clay?
Hmm... I'm really enjoying things right now.
Huh?
Next time, the final episode,
"Dungeon People."
Eh? H-huh...?

▶ [SubsPlease] Dungeon no Naka no Hito - 12 (480p) [C2E9291A]

I'm so glad I got those cooking lessons from Ms. Furin.
To think it would become this much more of a proper meal
just by selecting out the edible parts and using the proper amount of salt...
What an amazing technique.
Bread is delicious when you bake it too.
Now that I think of it, what do the monsters do for their meals?
Ooh, did you make all that?
Yeah. I've been doing so lately after learning how.
The way you learn techniques is through repetition.
There's a lot to be gained by doing things again and again.
I have to improve my precision, to start.
That's a wonderful attitude and all, but still...
She had been getting by in life without even knowing how to handle salt.
She's a real fool for exploring...
Hmm? What is it?
I was just thinking on how hopeless you are.
Right, I still have a long way to go.
That's not quite what I was thinking...
Oh yeah, there was something I wanted to ask you.
What is it?
What the monsters do for meals?
Yeah.
I only know a little about all that myself. So take it away.
I see. Well, we generally try to meet their requests.
But there's so much variation that we can't exactly handle matters in any one specific way.
Right.
To cover the usual categories, some will eat the ingredients we provide as is,
some will cook them up,
and others will choose to hunt on their own.
Hunt...?
Ah, I suppose it would be quicker to just show you.
Why don't we go observe for today?
Garagara SE narashite
Kuzureochiru joushiki wall
Aku da to ka seigi da to ka giron wa ii kara
Sore yori tonikaku do it now!
Sabita hazu no kokoro kakinaraseba
Hanikamu kurai harmony hibikiatte
Micro datte kakumei nanda kanjiteru desho?
Kokkara zenbu kawatteku tte unmei na yokan
Kasoku shiteku heartbeat attack tsuyomete
Bikkuri bakka yorimichi datte warukunai yo ne
Tanoshimanai to mottainai tte jinsei no kihon
Honne no volume sotto agete
Waratte mireba hora ne?
Though we provide a kitchen and ingredients, very few choose to cook.
The majority just eat the ingredients as is.
I suppose that's their wild nature.
I see.
For once, that actually sounds fitting to what I know of monsters.
This is...
This is the largest individual block, and so it's used for fields and hunting grounds.
Are we outside...?
No, we're underground.
It was made to artificially resemble the outside.
Amazing...
From here, you can see the plains, forest, fields, and lake.
I've heard that a lot of dungeons will change terrain from floor to floor.
Couldn't you make this place into a floor in the dungeon?
I suppose I could, but... how should I put it...?
It just looks like an ordinary outdoors area, so it doesn't feel properly dungeon-like.
Dungeon-like...?
Ah, Clay. What brings you to a place like this?
Don't mind us. Sorry for interrupting.
Hey, hold on! Let's at least talk a little!
Ah, I see. So you're here to observe.
In that case, why not give this a try?
It's a fresh sprout, so it's tender and tasty.
Right.
Humans shouldn't eat that!
Oh yeah? Guess our cuisines differ, huh? But it's so delicious.
Don't do it. You'll wreck your stomach.
There are ordinary animals here too.
That's generally the case, outside of the fields. These are hunting grounds, after all.
I suppose that's true.
I see. Hunting grounds...
Could I have a moment?
Yes, go right ahead.
The view from here's better than I expected.
But... You were just down there... Huh?!
Are you hunting too, Binky?
I am. But does that "too" mean you're also here to hunt mice?
No, I'm just here to observe.
Oh? Then do you want to watch me hunt?
You don't mind?
As long as you can keep up.
She caught me off guard before, but the forest is my domain.
Nobody can keep up with me out here, so...
It's been a while since I've trained out in the forest. How nostalgic.
I'm feeling off today, so sorry, but let's call it here.
I-I see. Take care...
How was it?
It's a fine forest.
It's hard to believe it was artificially created.
I'm honored.
Well then, why don't we check out the fields?
Do you mind if I ask a question, even if it's a little late to be bringing it up?
Go right ahead.
Don't you think you leave a bit too much up to the golems?
We handled things differently at first.
Back then, we thought it would be more efficient to assign roles based on specialties.
So the gnomes handled the fields, the treants the forests, and the stone turtles the rocks and minerals.
They worked quite efficiently, and yet...
They often got fixated on fine details and caused a lot more effort to be expended.
You've got to use cockatrice excrement for fertilizer!
More water, and uniform sunlight.
Wait for three more years.
I see. A craftsman's pride, eh...?
On top of that, they often clashed with other monsters and caused a lot of unexpected work.
Stop eating those!
Nutrients?
I see. True craftsmen to the core.
In the end, it was judged to be easier to manage just teaching the golems how to do it,
even if it resulted in lower efficiency and precision.
Using easy to manage golems instead of difficult to handle specialists...
Is that why the golems handle most tasks here in the dungeon?
It's not like she inherited everything from her predecessor.
Belle had to keep on experimenting so she could continue managing the dungeon, huh?
Ms. Clay?
Managing things sure is tricky, isn't it?
As far as I know, there weren't supposed to be any aquatic monsters around...
That's true, since it would be rather difficult to maintain a water environment within the dungeon.
My, how unusual to meet in a place such as this.
Ah, sorry to interrupt your meal.
Oh no, Mr. Reilmond is actually bathing here.
Bathing...?
It's only right for a gentleman to maintain proper hygiene, after all.
I-I see...
That's the eighth floor's floor guardian.
It's surprisingly cute, looking at it now.
Or maybe not.
This is the kitchen!
We expanded it just recently.
Was it too narrow?
My...
I see. So it was too small for Teruru to fit.
If the two of you are together, does that mean that you are here for work?
I'm observing various areas related to food.
Ah, I see.
Sorry for interrupting while you're cooking.
Ah, this?
I'm making medicine.
What sort...?
That was a belglog grass root just now, wasn't it?
Ooh, so you're familiar?
I found them in the hunting forest. It's a wonderful place for gathering rare ingredients.
Thank you for saying so! So, you can make medicine?
I was actually a scholar back home, you see.
Ah, really? If you're boiling belglog root and it's bubbling up like that, then did you add palupet leaves too?
Such insight! I also used lolo water.
Then are you going to wring it out and chop it up finely after?
Ooh, that's the first I've heard of wringing it out. And then you just tear it up?
That's right.
Sorry to interrupt while you're getting excited,
Moisture causes the kuluru effect to...
But it's boiling over.
Ah!
Do you eat it?
Of course! It has a uniquely bitter flavor to it.
You don't. Though it's a medicine, with the mixture of ingredients...
It felt like they were on the same page, but they totally weren't!
I certainly did learn a lot.
I'm glad to hear it.
Oh right! Why don't we head to the hunting grounds once more, Ms. Clay?
You see, there's actually a place there that's really special to me there. You see...
Is something wrong?
Unfortunately, it seems we'll have to hold off on heading there for a bit.
Dungeon People.
The crystal room...
What exactly is going on?
As I explained in the past, this crystal exists to transfer out your real body if anything were to happen to you.
However...
It seems the time has come to swap it out.
To swap it out...?
Yes.
It isn't something that can be used forever.
When the time comes, it's necessary to change it out.
I figured it was about time for that.
When it's time to swap it out, a notification appears above everyone's heads.
Would you mind helping me to change it out?
Sure, I don't mind.
That massive crystal has continued to gather magical power from the earth, here deep underground...
What a wonderful magic gem. I would love to utilize it in the dungeon...
But with this size, it cannot be moved... In that case, I simply need to construct a room around it.
I figured it was something like that.
Unfortunately, it's just a consumable good that I produce.
Understood. What do you need me to do?
I need to use a hand to transfer control, so it would be a big help if you could support the crystal in the meantime.
Right.
When I try to support it with one hand, I use too much strength without thinking and shatter it.
She can crush it with one hand...?
Which one should I hold?
The floating one.
Just for a bit, until I'm done with the process.
Right.
Control, full save, move to target.
Begin.
Okay, we'll swap them out now. Can you hold it?
Yeah.
It's heavy, so please take care.
Control, initialize, cancel installation.
So pretty...
I see... It really is heavy!
All done!
Thanks for the help.
It's heavy, so I can take over.
No, I'm fine! This will serve as training...
That seems a bit rough on you, though...
At any rate, where are we moving this to?
Ah, it's going to the origin point...
Got it. Just show me the way.
We just went past a seal, but there's still more?
There are still more?!
That sure is some security.
Yes. It's a closely guarded secret, after all.
And I wanted to limit damages elsewhere were anything to happen.
Is that thing dangerous...?
It is. Do you know of dungeon cores, Ms. Clay...?
Dungeon cores... They're called the hearts and brains of dungeons.
They shift terrain, prepare traps, manufacture monsters, and bring forth a dungeon into existence.
I've heard tell that if you destroy it, the dungeon will be wiped out.
So that's what that thing is?
No, it isn't.
It's a failed attempt at producing an imitation dungeon core.
A failed imitation...?
My predecessor made it to serve as a dungeon core,
but was unable to imbue it with any functions besides gathering and circulating magical power.
He tried to make a dungeon core...? Is that really something you can create?
No, there's no way.
It's the very source of a dungeon.
And yet... He made this.
More importantly...
My apologies, but I'd like to put this down soon.
A-ah, sorry!
You can put it down over here.
Is this spot good?
Yes, that's perfect.
So, what now?
I'd like to try to reuse it.
Right.
Your job here is done now, but would you like to stay and watch me work?
Yes, of course.
Created object, object to protect, that which connects...
Flow to the source, and become, come forth...
This is my first time hearing this...
It's like singing. A chant...?
I can't believe it... Such incredibly dense magical power...!
He created a dungeon using downright supernatural phenomenon...
I had already thought the old master was an unbelievable presence, but to think it went this far...
The administrator, and the one who inherited that position...
What happened, exactly...?
I shattered it.
When you try to replenish the magical power in an ordinary size of magical stone, it will shatter.
It seems it's the same even with one this big...
In that case, maybe the magical power absorption rate matters more than the surface area?
Is it an issue of saturation?
I don't really get it, but that's a shame...
Oh no, this was actually the first time I got one to make it that far without breaking it.
So that alone is a step forwards!
Really? Well, I guess it served as training for me too.
Oh right! I think we'll still make it!
Come on, let's hurry!
Where to?
My special place!
You can only see this in this place, at this time.
It's beautiful...
H-how should I put it...? Um... It's always been this way...
But...
It's not like that anymore!
I won't allow such things to occur in my dungeon.
Why did Belle end up inheriting this dungeon...?
What does she feel, carrying on managing the place...?
As things stand now, I can't even hazard a guess. And yet...
Why don't we head back and eat dinner?
Yes, let's.
And yet, I made the decision to work here.
In that case, please call me Belle.
Belle.
Yes?
What the little lady was really lacking wasn't personnel.
It was allies she could talk to, who would stand by her side.
As she kept watching groups of friendly adventurers challenge the dungeon together, she grew lonely.
I learned that you don't have any friends, Ms. Clay.
That means we can be one another's first friends!
And I'll stay here, too...
I'm glad we got to see it together.
Yeah.
Ms. Clay.
Thank you so much for working here.
I look forward to working by your side from here on out!
Right.
Why don't we cook up some dragon meat for the first time in a while tonight?
Ah, I was thinking we could give this a try too.
Huh? Ms. Clay, that grass... Is that...
Indeed. It's the grass that Pekkomo was enjoying eating so much.
L-let's not for tonight...!

Listen up, Clay.
When you head into a dungeon all on your own, a single mistake can cost you your life.
Never let your guard down.
Right!
For example...
Losing focus for even a split second could spell your end.
A split second...
Do you understand?
Yes!
Don't rely on your eyes. You've got to feel their presence.
In many a dungeon, by the time you can see them, it's already too late.
Right...!
You'll also encounter many monsters in dungeons with scales stronger than steel.
They will chew straight through your gear.
Right!
If you want to dodge traps in a dungeon, you should be able to make it this far in a single leap.
Right!
We thieves have neither a warrior's strength nor a mage's magic.
However...
Monsters will offer no quarter!
The ability to dodge is paramount.
Keep on attacking until you win.
Don't break concentration, and keep moving.
Right...!
You need to be able to fight for ten hours straight, bare minimum. Ideally over twenty.
R-Right...!
My father was remarkably skilled. That said...
That's the way! Just twelve more hours!
R-Right...
I don't think his skills extended to teaching.
That father of mine...
vanished inside a dungeon, some three years ago.
According to the thieves' guild I belong to,
no one from the adventurers' guild is on record as exploring beyond the seventh floor of Antomurg.
In other words, even the most skilled adventurers who returned alive didn't clear the seventh floor.
I just took down the eighth floor's Floor Guardian solo.
Now I'm preparing to take on the ninth floor...
No slacking!
R-Right...!
Climb up here in ten seconds!
Right...!
You're dead if anyone sneaks up behind you!
Right...!
...all thanks to my father's lessons.
I've continued training diligently in the three years my father has been gone.
And yet, I still don't feel like I measure up to him.
Just how far down did my father go?
Dungeons follow their own unique set of rules.
For subterranean dungeons, the Floor Guardians who guard the stairs
are roughly equal in strength to the monsters wandering the following floor.
However, that only applies when they're on their own.
They're here.
After passing the fifth floor, the monsters began forming parties and exhibiting teamwork.
They possess intelligence.
Goblins. Ripped goblins?
I've never seen goblins with muscles like that before.
Okay, so we'll call those ripped goblins. And behind them...
That one's skinny, so I'll call it a lanky goblin.
I'll start with the lanky one in the rear.
They can form parties, sure, but you can also tear them apart.
Take them out from the rear!
It's textbook for a reason.
Nice! The paralysis is kicking in.
Once you get this deep, even these ones drop gems. Nice!
In this dungeon, monsters can turn into gems when they die.
The deeper you go, the better the quality.
A lot of adventurers prioritize acquiring gems over searching for treasure chests.
Those ones were prepared to intercept a party—
There's a powerful foe on the other side of that door.
I can't sense anyone else in the area.
I'm not running low on healing items, and I've got stamina to spare.
It might be better to face it now, instead of later when I might not be as well prepared.
Doesn't look like paralysis will work on this one.
I see... It's not just big and powerful, but surprisingly fast as well.
He's a tough one. Then what was the deal with those goblins before?
So tough!
It probably has plenty of stamina too, so this may take a while. I'm glad it's on its own.
I'll start with the legs.
Or at least, I'd like to!
Damn, that's tough!
A hit that solid should be enough to punch a hole through steel armor.
So the legs are a no go? Then I'll aim for its dominant arm.
I see. So it's even faster barehanded.
So it's a match for me even without that axe? 
The dungeon wall collapsed? That can happen?
Woah, seriously?!
Ain't never heard of a wall collapsing before. I can't believe it.
That monster just spoke...
Ah, hold on! Let's call it quits.
This is no time for that. Time out?
Time out...?
Do you think this is just like any other crumbled wall? Because it's not.
We got a real problem on our hands.
The administrator is gonna be here soon!
All that aggression from earlier is gone...
Does he seriously not want to fight anymore?
Have a look at that room there.
It's just like talking to a person...
What does it look like to you?
It looks like a room in someone's house. In a dungeon?
So close! It's a bedroom!
A bedroom? But whose...?
What is that? There's something unusually powerful beyond that door.
It's here!
It really did collapse!
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
It really did collapse!
My apologies. Please hold on for a moment.
S-Sure...
Sorry for the trouble.
I'll handle the rest, so you can head back to your post.
You were speaking with this person here, weren't you?
Moo...
His response was cow-like!
I mean, it didn't look to me like you two were fighting.
And no adventurer would ever drop their guard near a monster just because a wall collapsed.
I'm so sorry...
I mean, this girl's a quick one, so I figured it'd be big trouble if she ran off into that room. 
It's fine.
I take responsibility for the wall.
You're normally a lot more careful than that, right?
Naturally!
That was quite the pause.
Sorry for the wait!
She just looks like a normal girl...
That intense power I felt. It came from her?!
I'd like to explain in detail, so would you mind accompanying me?
O-Okay.
This way, please.
Don't let your guard down. Think this through...
Is there a chance this girl is one of the dungeon's monsters, trying to lure me into a trap?
There aren't any monsters in the residential quarters, so you don't need to be all on edge.
It's a safe zone!
Really?
This isn't part of the dungeon?
The dungeon's features aren't available in the residential zone, so I suppose they're different.
Residential area? So she lives in this dungeon? But why?
After you.
Okay, let's dive straight in.
My name is Beilleheila Langdass, and I manage this dungeon.
And you're Ms. Clay, correct?
How'd you know my name?
It's an administrator thing. I can sense skilled adventurers.
Sense? But how?
Before I start explaining the residential quarters and management and all that,
let me get to what I really want to talk about.
What's this?
Ms. Clay, will you work here with me?
Work?
Right. In this dungeon.
I've been wanting more help for a while now,
but being in a dungeon means a lot of one on one interactions with monsters.
And I just couldn't find anyone that the monsters wouldn't walk all over.
That does sound like a high bar.
If that's what you were looking for, why not try the adventurers' guild?
I'm afraid anyone who can't get past floor seven just isn't going to cut it!
Harsh!
So that's where I fit in?
Yes! You cleared the eighth floor all on your own.
I'd say you're plenty skilled.
So what do you say?
The dungeon is on the other side of the wall.
And this place is deep underground.
This place is definitely part of the dungeon.
Beilleheila Langdass, was it?
This girl is the dungeon's administrator...
If you're the administrator, doesn't that make you the dungeon boss?
That's right. This dungeon currently has ten floors.
and those who reach the end by conventional means have to face me.
Then...
Will you face me?
A practical exam won't be necessary!
But I'm asking for one. If I win, you let me leave. If I lose, I'll work here.
How's that?
I don't particularly mind, but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back.
Fine with me.
Holding back?
My father disappeared into the dungeon...
I'm not as strong as him and yet I made it to the ninth floor,
so he must have made it to the tenth floor.
If this girl was waiting for him there, then...
It would mean my father lost to her.
It's possible that she would tell me if I asked.
But I'm sure just hearing "That's right," would be enough for me.
Understood.
Please give me your hand.
Welcome to the end of the tenth floor, the final room!
There aren't any walls...
This is a closed space. You normally can't enter it without following a specific protocol.
Normally I ask two demons to accompany me, but you don't mind if we skip that for today, right?
Are you handicapping yourself?
Not quite.
They'd just slow me down.
That's fine, then.
It's no surprise that my father would die in a dungeon.
He kept on challenging them, so it's only natural that it would catch up to him eventually.
My father accepted that.
All I want to know is...
Are you ready?
Waiting on you.
Just how far did my father make it?
Can I catch up to him?
Is this girl...
She threw it?!
Worthy of defeating him?!
She can parry all that with her staff?!
I should keep distance.
No wait, I should keep close.
If I get too far, her magic will tear me apart.
I've got to keep up the attack!
You're even better than I expected.
I'm shocked.
Truly.
Thine rolling clouds, rain down upon us!
A spell! This is bad!
Twinkling light, crucify with a thousand thunderbolts...
Come forth!
No way...
Even my father couldn't handle this.
Good morning!
M-Morning? Where am I?
We're in my room.
Ah, I fixed the wall and shifted the coordinates so it's not right up against the dungeon anymore.
We're now on the eleventh floor.
I-I see.
The eleventh floor?
So that means you're going to work here now, right?
I suppose a promise is a promise...
Running a dungeon, huh...?
I never expected to have any job other than exploring dungeons.
Does managing a dungeon mean serving as its boss?
That's not it.
Managing a dungeon is... Hmm, it's more like handling operations?
Handling operations...?
Right!
Operations. In a dungeon. Operations...?
Isn't a dungeon just a dungeon?
Er...
Well, there are all sorts of different ones out there, but I manage our dungeon.
Our dungeon...
We can talk specifics later,
but the work involves stuff like restocking low-level slimes and undead,
resetting traps,
and conducting job interviews for monsters.
The schedule can be hectic.
Hiring monsters?
We hire monsters from the demon world.
Unlike a living dungeon, monsters don't grow here, you know.
Monsters can grow? That's wild.
It does sound like I'm going to be busy.
Still, I'm registered to the thieves' guild.
I can't just start working here without any notice.
I'll have to head back and—
Ah, if you're worried about the thieves' guild, I can take care of that here.
Hmm?
The previous administrator founded the thieves' guild, so I have connections.
So that's how it is. If you can manage a dungeon, then the thieves' guild is a breeze.
Got it.
I see this goes beyond the limits of my understanding.
In any case, I suppose I'm gonna start working here, huh?
It would be a huge help if you did!
That way, I won't have to suppress your memories to conceal information.
Like with a curse?!
Okay, now that that's decided, we'll have to prepare a room for you, Ms. Clay!
A room?
The hall would be fine, though.
Visibility is good, so it would be easier to respond to the unexpected.
But that wouldn't sit right with me!
For now, I'll give you your contract.
Okay.
F-Five gold coins a day?!
I've got plenty to go around.
What are you, a noble?!
After ten years, my dungeon exploring days are over.
Now I'm going to be working inside one.
The job acquired from beyond the wall pays an enormous sum,
but shatters my shallow confidence and lacking knowledge.
Rocks walk all about, and a girl laughs amidst the chaos.
All of this was schemed...
Er, Ms. Clay...
You sound too serious. Could you try to have some fun with it?
Fun, you say...?
Next time on Dungeon People, Episode 2,
Starting Work in the Dungeon.
She's dialed in...

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 02 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][F55CF84F]

Far from the capital sat the uninhabited Antora region.
A traveler by the name of Murag once stumbled upon the dungeon while passing through.
By combining the name of the region and its discoverer, it became the Dungeon of Antomurg.
News spread, and adventurers came to explore the dungeon.
Their numbers grew, leading to the construction of inns, shops, and an adventurers' guild branch.
As the settlement gained more residents, it turned into a town.
The town also named itself Antomurg, after the dungeon.
Thanks to the adventurers' explorations,
the people gained more information on the dungeon.
Even so, it is hard to surpass any floor lower than the fifth,
and their current official record stands at the seventh floor.
Based on how the strength of the monsters grows beyond the fifth floor,
people presumed that the tenth floor would be the final one.
I belonged to the thieves' guild rather than the adventurers' guild, and made it to the ninth floor.
There, I met a girl who called herself the dungeon's administrator.
After a tumultuous ride, I ended up working in the dungeon.
For the time being, please use this room.
It was meant as a guest room, but we haven't had any use for it.
Then why make it?
There's a window here.
The glass shines to look like the sky, changing based on the time of day.
There's actually a wall behind it.
I see.
Come to think of it, these rooms use lights,
even though the ceilings in the hall shine on their own?
That's right. It's better for humans if it's dark when it's bedtime.
The dungeon was also dark originally.
But I got a lot of complaints from monsters without night vision,
so I brightened it up.
Complaints from monsters...?
If we required night vision for employment, we'd get far too few applicants.
I see.
Now then, let me give you a brief tour of the residential area!
You don't mind? Aren't you busy?
Ah, right...
I've already wrapped up my most important task for the day, so it's fine.
Important task?
Recruiting you, Ms. Clay!
Who, me?
Do you actually have a lot of time on your hands?
How did she—
Well, um, you see, there are only low-level adventurers in the dungeon right now.
We manage the earlier floors on site, so I don't need to oversee them personally.
My true goal was to recruit you,
but you'd already made it deep enough to become a target for observation.
I see...
And now that target's right in front of you, huh?
That's right.
Anyway, let me show you around!
Sure, sounds good.
This is the control room.
I do most of my administrative work here.
Now that you're here, maybe I should clean it up a bit.
A bit more than just a bit!
Here we have the reception room.
Right, from before.
That's my bedroom.
Yup, seen this too.
Here are the guest bathrooms.
Does anyone use them?
I do from time to time.
This serves as the dining hall and kitchen.
It's surprisingly small for a dining hall.
That's true.
I made it too large at first...
so I went and made the inner part into a storehouse instead!
This is huge!
It also serves as a refrigerator.
We have dragon tail meat and ingredients sourced from other monsters.
Feel free to use them.
Ingredients sourced from other monsters?
The ones from this dungeon?
Oh, they consented to this in their contracts.
No need to worry about it.
Eating the dead means less waste, so maybe it's better this way?
These are our three storage rooms.
This first one has magical catalysts and tools.
The second one has types of ores. And then...
You don't use the third one?
The third storage room is more accurately a place for leaving things.
Isn't that what storage rooms are for?
What is this?
I don't need these things right now but one day I might.
I might regret it if I throw them out, even if they don't have a use right now.
That's the sort of stuff stored here.
I see. So it's a garbage dump.
It's not garbage!
This is a really high quality wood golem arm, it just has too many joints!
But there may be some use for it!
That's trash.
And then...
Huh? Um...
I get the point. Let's keep moving.
Huh? But I have other things to—
Moving on!
Right...
This is the other place I need to show you in the residential area.
The crystal room.
The crystal room?
That certainly is a crystal. What's this room for?
It's a room to perform stationary magic by using the crystal as a medium.
Let's see...
For starters, pick whatever stone you'd like from those boxes and bring it over.
We'll go ahead and give it a try.
Stones?
No, these are...
gems?
Yup, that's right!
You're so casual about it... 
There are so many in here.
Ah, that's what those were?
You recognize them, don't you?
Does this mean you hand these out to the monsters?
Not exactly.
Those stones are magic catalysts.
Catalysts?
I mentioned before that we employ monsters, right?
Yes, and?
Ms. Clay, how many monsters have you killed up until now?
Come to think, dungeon crawling means putting your life on the line.
Let your guard down for a split second and you're dead.
But if I'm not dying, that means the monsters are.
They're putting their lives on the line, too.
It should be obvious, but I forgot that fact.
If that's the case...
This dungeon would need a lot of monsters just accounting for me alone.
Even if they hire more monsters every time, they could never replace all the ones I've killed.
That means...
Are these for revival?
Close, but no cigar! It's not exactly revival...
We use the crystal as a medium to copy your body and then seal the original in a stone.
We then implant the stone with your consciousness into the copy.
With this, we have a temporary body for you to use in the dungeon.
If your copy dies, the seal breaks and you return to your original body.
The monsters' quarters has an unsealing circle, so you'd get teleported there.
The stones have served their purpose and are left where you once stood.
They're all disposable.
You treat gems like pebbles?
So that means as long as you're in the dungeon, your life is secure?
That's correct. Did you find a stone that you like?
That goes for me too, huh?
Please think of this as part of the job too.
Yes, you're skilled, but you'll need to interact with tenth floor monsters in the future.
We can't wait until something goes wrong!
The tenth floor...
If the ninth floor had that,
then the tenth floor would be difficult for the current me.
I'll do it. I need to get stronger.
Many of our hires for the deeper floors come onboard for personal training.
You won't have any issues finding training partners.
You'll get stronger. I'm sure of it.
I look forward to it.
Now then, please enter this circle.
Like this?
Yes.
Now close your eyes.
Activate.
Project.
Analyze.
Replicate.
Hmm? Is something going wrong?
Um, no!
Seal.
Link.
Release.
Is it over?
Yes. Well done.
And, um... Sorry.
No, me too.
I remember everything up until the circle shined beneath me,
but before I knew it, I found you supporting—
M-M-Ms. Clay!
Er, your clothes are over here!
Monsters are generally naked, so I forgot how it can't replicate clothing.
I'm so sorry!
It's fine. You'll be more careful in the future, right?
R-Right!
A teleportation circle? How convenient.
Taking the stairs up to the first floor would get tiring, and take forever, too.
Yeah, over there's fine.
Take three of these to number two.
Mr. Rangard!
Ah, little lady, what a rare sight.
Oh, and who's she?
Ms. Clay, an explorer.
She'll be working with us starting today, so I thought I'd introduce the two of you.
I'm Clay. Nice to meet you.
The name's Rangard. I'm more or less in charge of floors one through four.
I've seen you somewhere before.
You're that girl with no friends who never forms a party and is always on her own, right?
Hmm? That was really rude, wasn't it?
That's not a fair assessment.
A dungeon isn't a place where you fool around with friends, and I can display my skills best solo.
That's all there is to it.
Though it's true that I have no friends.
So it was true?
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
We finally found a treasure chest, and man, it only had herbs inside it.
It's only the first floor, dude.
Sure, but I'm still disappointed.
Well, at least we're working well together.
Now's my chance!
What's up?
Did you just feel a breeze?
Are you sure?
No, I definitely felt it. It came from the front...
Seriously? So is something here?
Let's keep our guards up.
Right.
Helping out?
Yes. Ms. Clay says she wants to do more work so that she won't get rusty.
I don't really need any help.
Don't say that!
I mean, we have Ms. Clay here, so I thought I could use the chance to clean the control room.
She won't have anything to do in the meantime, so—
You make it sound like that mess could get cleaned.
Ah!
At any rate, I'm counting on you!
Number three, completed.
R-Right...
Numbers six, eight, and nine are open.
Understood.
I'm at number three now, and numbers six, eight, and nine need a resupply...
The closest would be...
I'm heading towards number nine.
Counting on you.
Number nine, completed.
Number eight, completed.
Two and four next.
Understood. Heading towards two.
Counting on you.
No way.
It's impossible?
It's true the first floor is chock full of nothing but careless, wimpy explorers.
But still, there are a ton of them.
To slip past them undetected as you refill treasure chests
is damn near impossible.
Yeah, it made for good training.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
I see.
He's not convinced, huh?
Very well.
Where'd she—
Compared to humans, a dwarf has poor horizontal vision, but good vertical.
That's how I can do this in the blink of an eye.
Of course, we're up against a large number of people.
It won't be easy for an amateur like me.
And sometimes it's just impossible.
Amateur? You're hurting my feelings here.
If it's impossible, they'll see me.
That's no good, then.
Listen.
When something unexpected enters the human vision, most people will consciously look again.
As long as I'm not seen then, it's fine.
I've got no idea what you're on about.
Here I come.
There's no way you can pull that trick right in front of me.
Huh? She's gone.
That's how it works.
You experts are terrifying...
Hmm? What's up?
Oh yeah? Sorry.
What wrong?
Apparently, we ran out of supplies to refill the chests on the second floor.
I misjudged it.
What do we do?
Well, we've got a surplus on the third floor, so we'll refill from there temporarily.
Do they have the same contents?
Nah, but what's wrong with a little bonus?
That said, it'll take time to transport them. Hmm...
What would you like me to do?
Can you bring some supplies in a hurry? Just take what you can.
You're a quick one, aren't you?
If you're able to bring the bare minimum, the runts can work the rest out in the meantime.
The employee stairs are over this way.
The runts fall down the big well, but that'd be impossible for you!
I see. So falling is quicker than the stairs, huh?
That would be a faster way to get to the third floor. Where is it?
Are you seriously going to do it?
There are walls, so I'll be fine.
If you fall from this height, you'll die.
Death is not pleasant, even if you can be revived.
I'm well aware that the slightest misstep in a dungeon can spell death.
You don't need to tell me that.
I'll be back soon.
I see... So that's the second floor.
The third floor will be up next.
Mr. Rangard sent me to pick up the supplies for the second floor.
Those?
How many boxes do you need?
Just one is plenty. There's no way you could do more.
Got it. I'll play it safe and take two.
Listen to me, already!
Hmm? Ah, the stairs.
No worries. This way is quicker.
See you later.
Sorry about that. You saved my butt just now.
Is it always like this?
No.
I usually have a better eye on the situation, but your movements distracted me.
So I got a bit sloppy.
Sorry...
By the way, the runts wanna jump all around the well like you did. What do you think?
That is impossible.
It's Clay.
Come in.
Are you training to improve your concentration?
I'm cleaning!
You're back sooner than I expected.
How was it?
Well, he said I was a dangerous influence on the work golems,
so I shouldn't come back for a while.
What did you do?
Hmm... I guess I have no choice.
I was hoping to clean up here first,
but I'll go and explain how to do the work now.
Nope, cleaning comes first.
That's not an easy task, you know!
I'll help. What do you want me to do? What are we throwing out?
We're not throwing out anything!
What should I destroy, then?
Why?!
We can keep the ones which look usable. The ones that don't, we'll toss.
Hesitation and excess luggage can be the end of you in the dungeon.
Is that the knowledge of an explorer?!
Let's call it here for today.
Understood.
You're certainly in a good mood.
Oh? You can tell?
Did something happen?
I learned that you don't have any friends, Ms. Clay.
Well, yeah?
You see, I don't have any either.
R-Really?
That means we can be each other's first friend!
I can't treat my supervisor as a friend.
No way!
A body which once decayed, leaving bone exposed.
I take on a strange shape, and as if fearing fate, point a blade at my own.
I can no longer hold back the feelings welling up inside.
Er, Ms. Clay...
You're still a little too serious. I know, how about reading it with a smile?
With a smile?
Next time on Dungeon People, Episode 3,
The Ice Wolf's Fangs.
E-Even her smile feels heavy...

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 03 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][6D2F96FF]

Where should I trash this?
Don't trash it!
How about this one?
No, don't!
Which ones can I toss?
Um, they all have a use! Or they might. Probably.
If I can't toss anything, how can we clean this place?
Well, um...
It's so spacious.
That's because we put everything in the third storage room.
Is that really something to cry about?
Pardon me.
What happened?! Are you hurt? Tell me!
I'll make them pay for—
Ms. Clay and I did some cleaning.
That's right.
Listen up. Some people just cannot live without making a mess.
Some people like her.
How do you expect her to survive in a barren room?
Um, what exactly brings you here...?
Will this do for the chair you requested?
It will! That's a huge help.
Did you make this?
Sure did.
Amazing.
Hmph, what are you saying?
It's not more than cutting wood and putting it together.
Anybody can do it.
I wouldn't say that...
Mr. Rangard has had a hand in most of the weapons and armor made in this dungeon.
That's really something!
I suppose...
That's what embarrasses you?
See you later.
Yeah, thanks.
Thank you very much!
Please have a seat.
Thanks.
So, um...
Ms. Beilleheila Langdass.
My full name?!
We're going to work in this room today?
Um...
Is something the matter?
Ah, no... I mean, yes, we are.
We just had a party enter the seventh floor.
We'll be observing them with this three-fold mirror.
Oh.
When you pour magical power into it, a map appears.
A pinch motion zooms out, and spreading out your fingers zooms in.
How convenient.
The circle represents the explorers,
and the number shows how many are in the party. In this case, five.
Five of them? Are they a strong party?
They are. I believe they're called The Ice Wolf's Fangs. Do you know of them?
Yeah, they tried to hit on me once.
You're that skilled thief girl, aren't you?
I suppose we could let you join The Ice Wolf's Fangs.
No thanks.
That recruitment earned you zero points, Fen.
Zero points.
Zero points.
Zero.
I see. I guess they're quite skilled if they made it to the seventh floor.
Rather, they're some of the best adventurers in the dungeon.
They hold the record for making it the farthest.
I see.
They aren't moving.
I believe they're having a discussion.
They rarely ever explore, after all.
Isn't that what they came for?
Yes, but each time they reach the seventh floor, they retreat after the first fight.
Looks like they're fighting with all they've got.
Sounds like they're far from making it to the eighth floor.
Oh, that would be impossible.
Still, they have a good reputation around here.
The monsters say it's quite fun to take on such evenly-matched opponents.
Fun... A fun fight!
Her ears perked up! 
Ms. Clay, would you like to try fighting The Ice Wolf's Fangs?
Oh no, I couldn't possibly clash with explorers.
Of course, not as you are now.
Umm, hold on a moment, please.
The one in charge of patrolling section H currently is...
In charge of patrolling?
Ah, it's Mr. Kraitze.
Excuse me, Mr. Kraitze. Can you hear me? It's me, the administrator.
Huh? Th-The administrator?!
Is something the matter? Did I do something wrong?!
No, it's nothing like that.
I have a request for you.
Really? Thank goodness!
I still can't get used to monsters talking so casually...
What is it?
You currently have three underlings with you, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Would you mind if we used one of them?
That's no problem, but what did you have in mind?
We're planning to control them from here.
I can see them in the mirror, but they can't actually be in there, right?
There's a party of explorers on the seventh floor. 
Uh-huh.
Ms. Clay just started working here the other day, and she would really like to fight them.
The maps seem to work the same way too,
so she's using the mirror as a medium to magically project information?
Ah, I see. So what would you like me to do?
Does she use three mirrors to split up and display all that info at once?
If you can just hand over control, I can take care of the rest.
Still, what a sophisticated item. That mirror alone would bring in—
Understood!
Looks like it's settled, Ms. Clay.
I'm going to place you inside a skeleton so you can fight.
What's that about a skeleton...?
Mr. Kraitze, a ghost, is in charge of patrolling the area nearest to The Ice Wolf's Fangs.
A ghost...?
He happens to have three skeletons with him, so I figured we could ask to borrow one.
My apologies, but I'm not exactly thin enough to fit inside of a skeleton...
Right, it'd be quite tough to do physically.
He's going to hand me control of a skeleton,
so I'll swap out the body you're linked with to that skeleton temporarily.
I see.
Ah, her face says she gave up on trying to get it.
Okay, I'm handing it over!
Ah, yes, please do so.
Are you ready, Ms. Clay?
Yeah. I don't exactly get what's going on, but that should be fine.
Well then, go have some fun!
Ooh, looks like it went smoothly! Way to go!
You're...
The name's Kraitze. I'm in charge of patrolling this area.
I see. I'm Clay.
I'm a new hire in this dungeon. I look forward to working with you.
Yeah, same here!
We're in the dungeon, and I'm speaking with a monster.
A monster's treating me like a coworker...
Come on, just get used to it, already...
So, we'll be fighting with explorers, right?
What would you like me to do?
If I had to say, just do whatever you'd like.
Whatever?
You won't be able to show off your true power in that body anyway,
so it's best not to restrict you too much, right?
I'll provide some support from the rear. Does that work for you?
Yeah.
I see. It's true, this body does feel different than usual.
And what's going on with this shield, exactly? Is it stuck on?
I can't remove it.
That shield's quite amusing, isn't it?
Apparently, anything the underlings have on them during their creation
acts as a part of their body.
Be careful, though, since that's not the case with the sword.
He's right! It fell!
I'm surprisingly strong...
He said it was part of my body, but it doesn't feel pain.
Maybe it's like a fingernail...?
Actually, would a body of bones feel pain to begin with...? I've got no clue...
In terms of combat, using just a sword and shield doesn't sound that bad..
Still, is it okay for me to get involved?
Yeah, don't worry about it!
Those underlings don't have a will of their own in the first place.
I figured this could serve as a learning experience for me.
It's not often you get to team up with someone who made it to the ninth floor.
You know about me?
You're a hot topic of discussion for us.
They say the administrator beat and then tamed an explorer who made it to the ninth floor!
She beat and tamed me?
Of course, you've gotta take such rumors with a grain of salt!
I've never heard of a human getting tamed before, after all.
I guess you could call it taming, now that I think of it.
The rumors were true?!
I think we should run into them soon.
This all feels pretty different, but I think I can make it work.
I'll take you up on your offer and do as I please, but do you have any requests?
Could you stop their vanguard?
How ordinary.
That's what the underlings are for, after all. But are you okay with that, Clay?
We're going to be going up against explorers. Your compatriots.
Can you kill them?
Dad...
Why do we avoid other people?
Because they're dangerous.
Dangerous?
Murder, theft, rape... anything goes in the dungeon.
Even if they follow guild rules officially, there's no guarantee they will in the dungeon.
They're just enemies who can talk. Don't let your guard down.
Look, there's a woman on her own.
Seriously?
What a lucky break!
Huh?! This is a dead end, isn't it?!
Why isn't she here?!
Find her!
Damn it! This is the first time we've found a woman in a while!
Right now, I'm a monster.
And besides...
I don't make mistakes. Allies would only hold me down.
That's the sort of place the dungeon is.
You've got that right!
What's up?
Their thief was scouting and just headed back. They're up ahead.
Huh?! But he didn't make a sound, did he?!
It was his presence.
Can we fight them? We can, right?!
It's in our patrol route, so it's fine, but... you're a little too excited.
Three skeletons, and one lich!
Got it.
Gaiam and I will take the skeletons.
Latta will back us up, and Ante, you launch right into support magic.
Harmein, you go for a big attack centered on the lich.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Dungeon People.
Well then, why don't we have you give the seventh floor a try for now,
and if you think you can manage further, we can move you to the eighth?
That's fine.
But the tenth floor is the bottom one, right?
The seventh floor, huh? Am I no stronger than that?
How disheartening...
What are the ninth and tenth floors like, then?
We've succeeded at splitting the two of them up.
Now then...
A thief lurks behind this guy, and a priest and mage are behind him.
The priest has already cast support magic.
The thief is positioned behind him, waiting to pull off a surprise attack.
As for the mage in the rear...
Oh invisible power that permeates all things, hear my voice and gather.
Once his chant's done, he'll have the front two pull back and launch a wide-range attack, huh?
Become a ball of flame to reduce all to ash...
Right, that's what a chant should be like.
That was abnormal.
Wait... I can make out their movements clearly, even in the rear.
Skeleton eyes sure are amazing.
They say undead have the power to see life. Is this what they meant?
He's going for it soon. Should I bait him?
He'll wait till my sword is occupied.
But I know it's coming!
Huh?!
Whoa, she's so strong!
What was that?! She threw them?! Why?! How?! And what was that with the sword?!
This thing...
Spiral. Entwine. Become a mighty force.
A wide-range attack is coming. What should we do?
Hmm, we could withstand something on that level,
but can you do something about it, Clay?
Understood. I'll give it a try.
This body possesses magical power.
The sword won't work, huh?
If I think of it as an extension of my body, the shield should do the trick.
Destroy these chosen enemies that stand before you!
Magical power?
It's a sort of spiritual force possessed by living beings.
A force...
And if living beings possess it, we should too.
Magic generally uses stuff like fire and ice, but it's all magical power at its core.
And that got me thinking.
You need the capability and training and all that to use magic.
But if I've got magical power too, then couldn't I use it...
To cut through magic?
Huuuuuuh?!
She cut through magic?! What's going on here?!
This... This is the true strength of one who made it to the ninth floor...!
Let's pull back for now.
I'll buy you time.
Latta! Keep guard!
The stairs are right over there. It shouldn't be an issue.
It's more important to help buy time.
That's true. Let's go all out.
That said, I'm mostly suited to support!
A straightforward attack like that doesn't even serve as a diversion.
Ah...!
Whoa...
Sorry, I dodged without thinking.
Ah, no, I'm the one who let my guard down.
Now's our chance! Run for it!
Yeah!
Should we chase them?
No, that won't be necessary.
They ran for the stairs, like they said, and that falls outside my jurisdiction.
Do you want to go after them?
No, I'd say I got plenty of good experience already. Thanks.
I see. Yeah, it was a learning experience for me too.
The seventh floor suits me just fine!
There's no way I could ever face Clay when she's fighting for real!
It looks like you're all done.
You were watching?
That's my job, after all.
I suppose that's true.
So, shall I bring you back?
Works with me! How about you, Clay?
That's fine with me.
Okay. Well then...
I see. That was amazing.
I'm sorry I laid you down on the floor.
I considering putting your head on my lap...
But if I did that, I couldn't have done my administrative duties.
That's not a problem. It's fine.
So, how were The Ice Wolf's Fangs?
Well, let's see...
Their party was well balanced, and they worked together well.
I can understand how they made it to the seventh floor.
She's being so polite towards opponents she utterly crushed...
It was also a fresh experience being a monster, and it caused me to realize something.
It did?
When you carry out a plan verbally around intelligent monsters, they'll overhear it.
Ah.
What was that sound?
It was a notice that The Ice Wolf's Fangs retreated.
They retreated?
Over a fight like that?
They didn't form a plan to tackle the floor again?
If that's how they're handling it, they'll never clear the seventh floor...
I think they thought they should start fresh, as they couldn't beat that crazy strong skeleton.
But skeletons are just...
The one with the shield.
Shield?
Who, me?
How did Ms. Clay do, Mr. Kraitze?
She was amazing!
Someone that strong shouldn't be here on the seventh floor!
I'd never want to fight her, myself!
I see...
Well, whatever. Let's get back to work.
Um... Ms. Beilleheila Langdass.
U-Um...
A-About my name...
Ah, sorry. I couldn't quite get it out smoothly.
I hope you put up with me until I can say it properly.
No, that's not it...
Oh, you can refer to me as just "Clay." I'm sorry for not realizing.
Ah, yes. No wait, that's not it either!
My name's really long, isn't it?
Is it?
It is!
So, well... I'd like a name that would be easier to say...
Like a nickname or something... That would be nice.
A nickname? I'm not so sure about using one with my employer, but well...
Beilleheila Langdass. The usual method is to go with a shortened version.
Be...
What about Beiheila?
Beihe? Er, I'm not so sure...
My apologies. I realize I have no aptitude for this.
No. I'm the one who asked you, after all.
Asking me to come up with a nickname is too difficult of a task for me.
I would prefer if you would just tell me how you'd like me to refer to you.
That would make it easier for me to use, too.
H-How I want you to refer to me...?
If I make a friend, what would they call me?
Beille from the start? Or maybe Heila?
I wonder!
If it were me...
In that case, please call me Belle.
Understood, Ms. Belle.
You don't need the "Ms."
I see... Well then, Mi... I mean...
Belle.
Yes?
So, what's the next job, Belle?
Ah, right. There aren't any more explorers on the seventh floor, so we're all done.
What's the matter?
Belle!
Yes?!
You should do more work!
Like seaweed washed up on a shore, there is no purpose to existing here in this town.
Everything plays out atop the palm of someone's hand.
I am not even permitted to turn my back on a life of battle...
Um, Ms. Clay...
How about dancing as you read it? That should brighten things up!
While dancing...?
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 4,
"The Thieves' Guild and the Dungeon."
Ms. Clay, that was more like gymnastics than dancing...

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 04 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][020A8A71]

The Vanishing Incident of Frairelvant.
In the capital, Frairlvent, the thieves' guild headquarters vanished without a trace one night.
It happened late at night, so there were no witnesses.
Only a deep, wide hole remained after.
Nobody knows the whereabouts of the staff who must have been working there.
This place...
Yes?
We're underneath the Antomurg Thieves' Guild.
Who'd have thought a teleportation circle linked the dungeon and the guild's basement?
Were you surprised?
The kingdom's branches of the thieves' guilds specialize in gathering all sorts of information,
while also having a shady reputation for privately taking on assassination jobs.
At least, most people believe that.
Even so—
Here we are.
Come on in.
Pardon us!
Did you wait long?
No, we just got here ourselves.
Mr. Renfringe! And Ms. Furin too!
Long time no see, Ms. Clay.
I'm glad to find you looking well.
This thieves' guild is a special case, with no relation to the others.
It's often referred to as the Antomurg Thieves' Guild in order to differentiate it.
It's rare to see you here, Guildmaster.
I couldn't resist when I heard Ms. Clay was coming.
This girl is truly something.
I always knew you'd manage to pull off something we never could,
but I never expected you to join the dungeon's ranks.
Me too.
I knew this thieves' guild was different from the rest, but still...
I'd have never thought the explorers' necessities would be provided by the dungeon itself.
This dungeon is full of surprises, isn't it?
These are the expansion bags.
30 small ones and 20 medium... Good, everything's there.
Expansion bags. They hold much more than their appearance suggests.
Their interiors are so spacious, it feels like your hand could get lost inside one of them.
They come in large, medium, and small sizes.
And the return scrolls are over there.
Right. 50 in total, correct?
Return scrolls are consumable items.
They activate via magical power, returning you to the dungeon's entrance.
They have an area of effect of two meters.
Even if you stick out a little, it's fine as long as you're all close together.
The thieves' guild registrants receive both expansion bags and return scrolls.
Considering how essential I found these in tackling the dungeon,
I feel like I was dancing atop the palm of your hand, Belle.
Ah, that reminds me...
Don't mind that. I didn't set up this system. My predecessor did.
Your predecessor?
Yes. Please keep what I'm about to say a secret.
Sure.
But before the thieves' guild came to be, explorer parties rarely ever included thieves.
They tended to focus on firepower instead.
And because of that, 80% of all deaths came from traps...
Isn't that nearly all of them?
Yes, so...
This town's explorers are far too unafraid of our traps!
We need to give these fools a proper education on them!
That's what my predecessor said.
How selfless of him.
But if he wanted to teach people, wouldn't it be easier to do through the adventurers' guild?
The adventurers' guild is a global organization,
so it'd be hard to focus their efforts on educating just one particular town.
I see.
That's why we decided to form an organization here to manufacture items for adventurers.
You're accomplices, then?
There's always an underside to everything, you know.
Still, it's hard to believe the main thieves' guild would overlook a copycat guild in just this town.
That's true.
At first, they warned us to submit to their leadership.
We ignored it, and they sent assassins, so we had no choice but to go and have a word with them.
It turned into quite the commotion.
You may've heard of it, actually. It's known as the Vanishing Incident of Frairelvant.
What did you do?
We snuffed out some sparks.
They refused to come near us after that, apparently.
I see.
I'd like to check these, too.
Ah, coming!
I never would've expected that to be the truth behind that incident.
Has everything been a farce this entire time?
Will this work?
I'm glad that you look well.
Yes!
Have you made any progress regarding Mr. Brance?
I still haven't found out anything about my father.
But in all likelihood, he made it to the tenth floor.
Oh... By the way, how far have you made it?
I've reached the ninth floor.
How far do you think I could make it?
The seventh... no, the eighth floor.
My, I'm no match for you.
Hasn't the adventurers' guild only made it to the seventh floor? Good grief.
Well, that's Mr. Renfringe for you! He was once the greatest assassin in the thieves' guild!
Once? What happened?
Isn't he still with the thieves' guild?
We recruited him from the main thieves' guild.
Huh?!
I don't take fights I can't win. And besides, it seemed more fun being here.
Is that why the main thieves' guild gave up trying to clean this up?
We'll be counting on you for the repairs.
Please give my regards to Mr. Rangard as well.
Right, I've got it down.
Ms. Clay.
We have yet to find any evidence that Mr. Brance has left the dungeon. So, it's possible...
Then he really is...
Indeed.
He must still be in the dungeon...
Is it really okay to do these exchange agreements verbally?
Yes. All expansion bags have individual markers, so we can track them if anything happens.
And the thieves' guild does teleport over the bare minimum of necessary documents.
Teleport? How does that happen?
Ah, there it is getting delivered now.
There's a monster here in the room.
Oh, that slime is for business use, so it's essential.
Business...?
By using two paired slimes, you can have one slime eat the paper and the other spit it back out.
I see.
Expansion bag repairs... These ones sure went through the ringer.
I do remember thinking that it could get stolen when I was handed one, but still... Individual markers...
Hold on. In that case, I could follow the bag to my father.
No, I'm certain he reached the tenth floor and fought with Belle.
If I don't reach the tenth floor myself and ask Belle instead, then... My father...
Oh? You used your work connections to find out on the sly? Talk about lame!
He'll make fun of me!
Is something the matter?
No, it's nothing...
I just realized how inadequate my abilities still are all over again.
Huh?! Inadequate...?
So, what am I doing today?
Ah, yes, well...
How about helping out Mr. Rangard with bag repairs?
You really are amazing...
I'm more impressed how skilled you are at taking them apart...
Destroying things is a simple matter.
Don't think that I'll let you off the hook just because you're humble. 
Okay, all that's left is for me to put them back together. Thanks.
Right.
Oh yeah, and leave your exploration weapon here with me.
My weapon?
I'll do some maintenance on it.
You're using one from the dungeon, aren't you? I'm the best man for the job.
I had heard that weapons imbued with magic didn't require maintenance.
Hmph. That's total rubbish.
I should also adjust it to work better with you.
I was taught to not adjust weapons, and to make the most out of what I had.
You were taught well,
but only those who live by the blade preach that.
The tool and the user should serve to elevate one another.
I appreciate it, but I feel bad being the only one to get special treatment.
The little lady's been in a good mood lately.
And why's that?
Because she made a friend.
How I see it: you're one of us. What's wrong with showing a little favoritism?
No one... besides my father...
Thanks.
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
It can't be adjusted?
Yes... Or more accurately, it'd have no effect.
None... at all?
It's a secret as to why, but do you want to hear it?
Well...
The tool and the user should serve to elevate one another.
Please tell me.
Understood.
This dagger hasn't accepted you as its owner, so it's unable to display its true power.
It's alive?!
My name is Clay. What's yours—
Sorry, but that's not what I meant.
The true capabilities of this weapon have been sealed away.
Forgive me for asking, but where did you get it from?
I'm ba... ck.
Good job getting as strong as you have.
Keep training on your own from here on out.
I've left you the nicest weapon I had on hand, so go ahead and use it.
My father gave it to me.
I see. This dagger came from the tenth basement floor of the dungeon.
The tenth floor is presently the deepest one in the dungeon, so we assign top class monsters there.
The same goes for the treasure. They have a rarity at least on par with a national treasure.
A national treasure?!
That said, it could raise problems if just anyone could use them,
so we put restrictions on their capabilities.
More precisely, only people who have reached the tenth floor can use them.
Anyone else just gets a weapon with strengthened parts, rather than its true power.
Just a strengthened weapon?
Yes. I believe it should be on the level of something from the sixth or seventh floor.
That's plenty.
Since I haven't reached the tenth floor, it won't display its true strength.
So all this time, my father had already made it to the tenth floor.
I was thinking, I could lift the restrictions if you'd like, Ms. Clay.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll pass.
It'd feel pathetic if I didn't achieve it myself.
I figured that was what you'd say.
Well then, for today, how about I show you the monster lodgings!
Monster lodgings?
It's huge.
It sure is. We have some rather large residents now and again, after all.
If they need a space this big, wouldn't they be too big to fit down the dungeon's hallways?
We prepare special rooms for such employees.
How thoughtful.
We also have an arena for training here. I bet you're interested, right?
That's right.
This is the public lobby.
 I see... I've met quite a few of them while exploring.
Ahem, everybody.
This is Ms. Clay. She'll be helping us out for the time being.
I'm sure you'll run into her a lot from here on out, so I hope you'll get along well!
Do you have anything to add, Ms. Clay?
Wh-What, an introduction?
I'm an explorer, Clay. A bunch of stuff happened, and I found myself working here.
I'm new to this job, so I'd be grateful for any help as I learn the ropes.
Nice to meet all of you.
Oh, so you're a coworker?
So you're one of us?
Hey, aren't you wind-cutter's daughter?
Wind-cutter?!
Hey, hold on! I'm sure you have questions, but I just wanted to let you all see her for today!
That went pretty well, didn't it?
This is a shared space, so a lot of sociable folks tend to live here.
I see.
Those who don't want to interact with others have private rooms
equipped with teleportation circles to take them straight to work.
I've heard teleportation circles were a lost magic only found in ancient ruins and dungeons, but...
Wait. This is a dungeon, so I guess that makes sense. Maybe?
We're here.
This is the arena.
No one's using it currently.
You can look around.
The arena's made to be difficult to see out from the inside, so as to not be distracting.
There's a barrier around it, so you can't interfere from the outside either.
Those who wish to enter can use the crystal in the entrance room.
You can't enter without registering with the crystal.
There are folks who aren't registered?
There are.
Monsters who treat their lives relatively lightly...
Their lives... lightly...?
Could I interrupt you for a moment?
It's that guy...
Lanky...
Lanky?
No, it's nothing. Do you have some business with me?
We were at the introduction earlier, but I figured your real business may've been here instead.
I see...
Are they really goblins?
I've never considered that goblins have the capacity of intelligent thought.
Pardon me, but... are you goblins?
Ah right, we should have introduced ourselves first. How rude of me.
I'm the high goblin Shieldmurg.
And these are my younger brothers Bandeg and Bondog.
High goblins? A superior species of goblin?
I see, that explains the intelligence.
You're strong.
Will you have my children?
Intelligence?
Hey! It's only polite to save talks of breeding till after you've beaten your opponent!
I've never heard that rule before, either!
Could I ask you to refrain from discussing such matters here?
O-Of course!
Anyway, we had something we wished to discuss...
It's fine.
You want to fight me again, right?
Y-Yes. How perceptive of you.
Anyone would have regrets over losing before having a chance to show off their skills.
You should also try to hold back your bloodlust a bit better.
I apologize deeply.
It's embarrassing to admit, but my brothers and I simply can't accept what happened to us.
No kidding.
I accept.
If you touch the crystal on the pedestal and say "enter,"
a copy based on the crystal's recorded data of you will get placed in the arena.
At the same time, your consciousness will transfer there...
That face says she's totally lost...
If you touch the crystal and say "enter," you can go inside.
Got it.
When you want to leave, you say "exit," and you'll soon be back outside.
Enter.
Your weapon looks different than before.
Now that you mention it, that's true.
Wanna do-over?
Nah, I got my favorite one with me.
Oh, and you can go ahead and cast support magic in advance.
Are you going easy on us?
Of course not. But with no traps or patrols, I can just focus on the enemies in front of me.
This will be too easy for me.
Then I shall call your bluff.
Were those words just now?
They're quick...
and coordinating to block my movement.
When I jump back...
I gotta watch out.
They're more skilled than The Ice Wolf's Fangs. However...
He focused too much on speed,
and didn't give it enough power!
Now then.
Do you surrender, or should we keep going? I'm fine either way.
Fighting barehanded hurts, though, so I'm not too fond of handling things that way.
Ah, they withdrew, huh?
That was way more subdued than when they turn into gems.
Now then, I should also—
The body of a dinosaur, akin to armor...
Even striking at it exacts a heavy toll.
You must use all the strength in your body,
striking as if to cleave steel, making your body like stone...
Um, Ms. Clay...
I thought of a way to help you brighten up!
Are you trying to tickle me?
Huh?
Ah, apologies. I didn't mean to guess it...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 5,
"Coworkers, Family."
I really am sorry.
No, it's fine...

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 05 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][5052D6F9]

Um...
Hm... Did I startle you? My apologies.
My name is Reilmond. You sure had one impressive fight just now.
Thanks.
To think I didn't notice such a powerful being watching me...
I've been way too careless.
I'd like to thank you for showing me that wonderful display.
I heard that you are here for training.
Heard?
If so, perhaps I can be of some assistance.
She said it's hard to see out from inside, didn't she?
There she is!
Go for it!
You know, I'm actually assigned to the tenth floor.
I believe I would serve as a good training partner.
This is a monster strong enough for the tenth floor.
I have one weapon, and no injuries.
My stamina seems fine as well.
I should do it.
This is exactly what I wanted.
I'd be glad to take you on.
Right...
Well then, shall we get started?
Now then, there's no way this guy has a weaker hide than that monster.
With my current skills, it'd likely be impossible for me to even cut him.
Okay, let's start with the back!
I'm surprised you dodged that.
I thought I caught you off guard.
This looks bad. It's not just his tail. He can move his neck freely too.
If I let him slip out of my field of vision, it'd be trouble.
I can't just keep dodging forever.
Training...
Right. This is when I should use any techniques that may have room for improvement.
Let's give it a try.
If magical power dwells in both the living and the undead,
I should be able to combine my magical power and senses.
Then, I can see everything.
He's twisting his neck and spreading his legs. Here comes a bite!
She's dodging so quickly! Is she reading my moves?
It sure is tough...
But I did damage.
I couldn't precisely sense other beings' presence or magical power before.
Now, it's going smoothly.
Is this because I transfered into that skeleton?
I feel I've grown more accustomed to handling magical power.
Whatever it is, I can make this work!
Crap. I'm screwed.
My goodness...
How shocking. Even that wasn't enough to kill you.
Imbuing magical power into your arm to deflect my attack is no easy feat.
And I still ended up like this.
I couldn't make it in time with my weapon. I still have much to learn.
Well, look at the state I'm in. We got each other good.
I hope I put in enough effort to make this fight worth it.
Allow me to propose that we stop here.
Huh?
What do you say?
O-Okay...
You see, I really can't deal with pain.
Pardon me.
Huh?
He can't deal with pain?
Good work out there!
R-Right.
Well? How was the arena?
How was it?
I think it served as proper training.
I found things to work on. Though...
I don't know if it's fine to say this,
but that just zapped my motivation.
Yeah, I'd bet.
My father would gather magical power directly into his fists and feet.
I wasn't quite so capable. Instead, I could only focus it into magically-imbued weapons.
Back in the arena,
my weapon wouldn't make it in time, so I focused all my magical power into my arm in its stead.
Did my arm fail to guard from the breath attack and get burned up,
or was it unable to withstand the sudden influx of my magical power?
When it comes to magical beings like golems, wisps, and slimes,
weapons without magical reinforcement can't injure them.
The most effective method is attacking with magic.
That means a subcategory of magic like wrapping a blade in magical power could also work.
Does that theory also apply to skin and scales protected by magical means?
This is great. I feel the possibilities opening up.
I never expected to be able to grow this skilled at handling magical power.
I'm grateful to Kraitze and Belle for giving me the opportunity.
My current goal should be raising my agility and accuracy with magical power.
That and... 
Your job description?
Yeah. What am I doing here, ultimately?
You've just been showing me around.
I've hardly done anything that can be classified as work.
Huh?!
But you resupplied treasure chests, didn't you?
I only handled the simplest part of the job.
Um...
You dealt with those explorers on the seventh floor!
That only happened because you listened to my request.
Ms. Clay, this is the first time you've been hired for a job, isn't it?
For a job not given to me by the guild, yeah.
To start with, you're working just by being here.
Just being here counts as doing my job?!
That doesn't sound right.
You're here because I hired you, rather than being here of your own free will, correct?
Huh?
If you're employed but have no work to do, that's a failure of management.
It's not as if you aren't doing your job.
In other words, it comes down to my ineptitude.
I see. So it's like I'm on standby, waiting for orders?
A failure of management. Yes, I see.
It's rough seeing you repeat that so calmly.
Besides, I haven't decided what work I want you to help with yet.
You haven't decided?
I wanted more personnel, but I hadn't figured out all the details when I hired you.
With the wall and all...
Oh yeah, that.
So I thought, why don't you stay by my side and try out all different kinds of jobs.
I see. Got it.
So, what am I doing today?
Well then, could I ask you to help me make treasure?
Treasure? Like what goes in treasure chests?
That's right.
This way.
It's located far from the catalyst and mineral storage, isn't it?
That's true. We don't want everything blown up if something goes horribly wrong.
Blown up?
Here we are!
It's a mess!
Mr. Rangard prepares the materials for us,
so we just add whatever magical effect we want on a whim.
Just add whatever?!
Is this also a slapjob creation?
Ah, no, not at all! Your weapon is properly made!
You see, we offer lower quality items on the earlier floors.
But the turnover is high for the treasure chests,
so we need a lot of them, and it soon got boring making the same stuff.
So I tried making stuff that was a little bit unusual, but...
Mr. Rangard chewed me out and told me to throw it all away.
So that's what filled the third storage room.
Won't you try thinking some up with me?
Fine. I'll help you out where I can.
You're a lifesaver!
But after that, we're cleaning up this room.
What's your response?
Shining leather armor!
A bandana that cools you down!
A dagger that leaves shining trails behind it!
Treasure chests are no place for dumping novelty items.
What are you doing going along with her, Clay?
I'm sorry. I didn't know you could imbue so many types of magical effects
so I got a little carried away.
Look at how I'm being treated.
Well, fine. Just be more careful in the future.
Oh yeah, want to have a go at creating equipment next?
Can it wait until after we clean up?
You have my firm support.
I'm on it!
Dungeon People.
You don't have to handle those so delicately. They won't break.
I didn't expect you to actually come.
I make a habit of keeping promises.
Is it okay to let someone else resupply the treasure chests?
Yeah. It's not like that's a fixed responsibility of mine anyway.
When I'm not around, the little guys take care of it.
I see.
This is where we mine various kinds of ore.
Are just two of them enough for the job?
Hmm? Yeah, this is a task for spare personnel.
Spare personnel?
Take a look at that room in the back.
What a huge, smoothly shaped room.
Is this where you really work?
Nah. This room's just the remains of the little lady using magic to do some mining.
Apparently she digs it all up and then sorts it. Says it's more efficient that way.
She did this all herself?
About how long did it take?
Quicker than it'd take to count to ten, I'd say.
That quick...?
Will I really ever be able to beat her?
So that's how it is. We send these guys out as a formality so we don't lose our thin hold on reality.
I sort of get it, but I also sort of don't...
This is the shared smithy.
The golems look like they're running it all on their own.
Yeah, that's true.
With the high turnover rate on treasure chests in the earlier floors,
I just can't make equipment fast enough.
And so, I taught the little guys how to handle all that.
Those golems really can do anything, huh?
Nah, their individual traits vary a lot depending on their personality.
That's why it's important to consider their strengths when assigning them work.
It's kinda tricky.
They vary by personality.
They have personalities?
Of course they do. What do you think golems are, exactly?
G-Golems.
Yeah, they're golems.
So you should get it, right?
I really don't...
Take Regredd, there, for example. His fine detail work sucks, but he manages his strength great.
Was that a name?! But which one...?!
Ah, whatever. My work space is in the back.
It's smaller than I expected.
It's convenient. Makes everything easier to reach this way.
Hmm...
Everything's right nearby!
It's the same logic, so why does it feel so different...?
Here.
Daggers?
I tweaked their centers of gravity. Which one feels easier to use?
I see... One's heavier along the blade's edge, and the other in the center.
I can use either of them without any issues.
This is for the adjustment. You must have a preference, right?
I appreciate the thought, but there's no need to go that far.
That's just my current weapon.
There's a high probability I'll get a hold of a stronger one in the future, right?
That may be possible, but there's no guarantee you'll find a better dagger.
I'll just keep opening chests until I find one.
You're a real handful.
I could tell by watching the golems work earlier.
You made this one, didn't you, Mr. Rangard?
The other three I gave you were made by the golems. Is that right?
That's right. How could you tell?
Intuition.
Intuition?
With that in mind, I have a question I want to ask.
What is it?
Do the treasure chests on the ninth floor contain daggers you've personally made?
Oh?
They do. No clue if they're still in the chests, but I made them.
That's fine. I feel motivated now.
Not to squash your drive there,
but they're not better quality than the stuff made by the little guys for the same floor.
Yes, but that's not an issue.
Really? I don't get you...
Oh? Well, I can't help but feel happy knowing I'm using a weapon made by someone close.
She really is a genius when it comes to getting folks fired up, isn't she?
It's tea.
Thanks.
You're always so considerate, Simone.
Simone?!
This is a good opportunity. Why don't we have a bit of a chat?
Right.
To start with, we work using tools and equipment.
The little lady, meanwhile, handles everything with her magic.
Right... That's not a feat that can be matched.
We only manage to do about as much as she can with her pinky finger alone.
The whole dungeon pretty much revolves around the little lady.
Don't you think you could at least manage as much as the thumb?
What's the difference?
The system hasn't changed at all since the old master's time.
The old master? You mean the administrator before Belle?
Yeah.
The old master was a real weirdo who lived to build the dungeon,
and who would do anything for it, anything else be damned.
A weirdo.
It would be easier if the little lady was like that too.
Hmm? Really? It'd be easier if she was a weirdo?
That's right.
More so than taking up the post of administrator out of a sense of obligation.
Obligation?
The little lady said we were short staffed and needed more personnel.
So I was the one who set those recruitment conditions.
I was hoping to show her how impossible it'd be,
but somehow the odds favored her.
She found you.
S-Sorry?
Don't worry about it.
The little lady wasn't really lacking personnel.
She lacked companions she could talk to. Those who would stand by her side.
Staring every day at groups of friends challenging the dungeon together...
It took a toll on her.
Good work today!
Right. I'm back.
Well? How was it working with Mr. Rangard?
It was amazing.
First, you flatten out your magical power along the surface.
Flatten?!
I don't think I could ever manage that.
I believe that you could do it with practice, Ms. Clay.
I've got a long road ahead of me.
We talked, too.
Ah, so that's why it took so long.
He told me a bit about you, too.
Huh? Mr. Rangard told you about me?
Did he say nice things? Or bad things?
It's difficult to say.
She grew lonely?
That's what managing the dungeon is like, though, isn't it?
That's true.
But that's not all of it.
Until she took over the role and they parted, she spent all her time with the old master.
I see.
What do you think of Mr. Rangard, Belle?
Huh?! Well...
Uh...
To begin with, Mr. Rangard is already there working alongside her.
He should be able to do something about the problem himself.
Um, well...
Ah, my bad.
I was asking if you saw him as a coworker, or as something more.
Ah, he's more than that. How to put it...
He's kinda like family.
See?
In that case, you should do it your—
I see him like a grandfather who's stubbornly refusing to retire.
I guess you can't stand by her side like that...
He's been involved since my predecessor's time, and it's like he kept on accompanying me too.
So it's not that simple, huh?
I suppose it's best to ask him directly.
What does Mr. Rangard think of y—
I've asked him that before! And then...
Don't make me say it!
He's so awkward!
It slowly built up in me, bit by bit.
A wicked desire that makes my swordsmanship falter.
The meat of this great beast.
My mind is thrown into disarray as it passes into my mouth.
Ms. Clay!
Watch my pendulum. You're steadily getting happier and having fun.
Laugh as you read it...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 6,
"Exploration and Cooking."

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 06 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][3D3CC8EB]

Ms. Clay...
You only ever eat bread and dried meats.
Right. What about it?
You haven't been using the vegetables prepared for you, so I couldn't help but notice.
For me? You don't eat any, Belle?
I sometimes take a bite if it can be eaten raw,
but not if it needs cooking.
What's all this cooking equipment for, then?
I was taught to survive on meat and water while exploring.
Um...
Right, I'm not exploring now,
so maybe I should expand my culinary horizons a little.
Huh? You can cook?
I wouldn't call this cooking. I just grill or boil everything.
Huh?!
What is it?
We have cooking knives in the lower cabinet.
Isn't it best to stick to whatever you're used to when it comes to blades?
What about just getting used to a cooking knife?
Now we just need to wait for them to boil.
Let's take a break.
Um, aren't you going to season them?
Season?
Like, with spices, you know?
Ah, it's best to leave that kind of thing to professional chefs.
It's too dangerous for an amateur to mess with.
Eh? Ehh?!
Listen well. Cooking isn't like fighting, where you just need to beat your opponent.
If you mess up the butchering process, you'll die.
Use the wrong spice or herb, and you'll also die.
It's an unbelievably dangerous technique.
Don't treat it carelessly.
If you need it done, leave it to a pro.
That's what my father taught me.
Why?
I've personally experimented with using salt in cooking.
About this much.
Just that small amount turned the boiled vegetables into a frighteningly salty soup.
Amateurs shouldn't mess with cooking.
I-I see.
How absurd!
Ah, Mr. Rangard. What do you mean?
You're all brawn and no brains, aren't you?
I can't deny that.
Listen, with salt, you're supposed to shave it down and just use a bit at a time.
You're not supposed to use a whole chunk of the stuff at once. That'd kill you.
I see. I never considered that.
Are you here on some sort of business, Mr. Rangard?
Yeah. I ran out of water, so I came to fetch some.
Ah, I can get that for y—
Wait, hold on, Ms. Clay.
Hmm?
When a dwarf says water, he really means alcohol.
What do you call ordinary water, then?
A disappointment.
A disappointment?
It doesn't intoxicate you with life, so it's a disappointment.
I see. Makes se—
No, it really doesn't.
So, what're you two up to?
We're just chatting about how we're not consuming any vegetables.
Do you not eat any, Mr. Rangard?
Vegetables? You humans are the only ones who go around eating leaves and the like.
You can get by just fine on water and meat.
Is that really true?
Wait, could that work for humans too?
Alcohol can be used to disinfect, after all...
It's a racial trait. Don't try to imitate him, okay?
It's done.
Since you're here and all, why don't you two give it a try as well?
Hm, it came out like normal.
It's got the bitterness and flavor of leaves to it.
I can taste the vegetable fibers.
Is that so? Well, as long as it's edible.
Let me be honest with you.
It straight up sucks.
Yep, I feel the same way.
You're aware of it?
It's bad, but it's food.
As long as it's edible, that's good enough.
What a low bar!
We aren't going to get anywhere like this.
How about we have somebody teach you?
Somebody to teach her?
We're counting on you, Ms. Furin!
Thanks for coming.
I'd have never thought this would be how I entered the dungeon for the first time.
S-Sorry about that.
It's fine.
I was interested in the dungeon's residential area, after all.
Amazing. You have a device to handle fire this conveniently.
You knew how to use it?
I can understand that much just by looking.
I'd love to have one at home, but this only works due to the dungeon's magical power, right?
That's true.
What a shame.
Well then, let's start by teaching you how to fry up vegetables and season them with salt.
Oh, I can do much more than fry my enemies.
I can show them real pain.
This'll be good practice.
When I said we would fry them, I meant as a cooking technique.
All done.
Delicious!
Just a single dish looks a little lonely. Shall we make another simple dish?
That sounds wonderful!
Then let me have a look at your ingredients in the back.
I was quite shocked to learn how you eat some parts and throw other parts away.
So true. I didn't know carrots had skin at all from looking at them.
Same.
Ah, Ms. Furin. Did you find anything...?
This is dragon meat, isn't it?
Ah, yes. It was provided to us in the past.
This is a high quality ingredient!
Gourmands would pay a fortune for it!
Is it tasty?
Of course it is, but...
Ooh, then let's eat it!
Is it really okay to have someone merely at my level cook it?
That's the best option out of the members present.
But understood. I'll give it a try.
Okay, I'll do it. I'll give it my all.
So delicious!
What is this?! It's overflowing with juice!
It's really just the quality of the ingredients here. You could learn how to cook it easily.
It's that simple?
Was my father mistaken?
Thank you so much for coming out today, despite how busy you are.
Once you know the basics, it just comes down to trying out different sorts of things.
I wish you the best of luck.
Right. Thanks.
Ms. Furin...
Here's some dragon meat for you to eat with Mr. Renfringe.
Can I really have it?
Please, it's the least I can do.
Thank you so much!
I'm sure it'll make him happy! The master is a first-rate cook, after all.
Huh?
He's the one who taught me.
Really?
Wait, instead of handing it over, we should ask him to—
Take it with you. You're busy with work, aren't you?
Ah, yes. Thank you very much.
Today's cooking lesson was all new to me, but the techniques felt surprisingly familiar.
Are there other things I've overlooked thanks to my own preconceived notions?
Like when I fought that dragon, Reilmond.
Did I learn something?
Dragon... meat...
It sure was delicious.
Dungeon People.
I'll start with this: These were maintained well, so there was hardly anything for me to do.
Sorry for having you leave them with me.
The handles looked a little rough so I fixed them up, but that's about all I did.
It's a perfect fit. Just the sort of work I'd expect from you.
R-Right...
Do you really need to spin it around like that?
Yeah. It depends on the situation.
When stabbing...
This way is the best and maintains your distance.
It's good for feeling things out.
The same goes for when you throw it.
In contrast...
it's easier to put your strength behind it like this.
Rather than slicing, it's more like fixing your arm in place.
You can stabilize it further by using both hands.
When you're closing your distance,
it's easier to use them like this.
Using a second blade makes you harder to stop.
Your grip can make your movement easier to predict,
so you need to shift it often to confuse your foes.
You need practice to do it instantly.
I've never heard her this chatty before.
I figured she'd be throwing them, but different grips?
Should I have—
Thanks.
I should be able to use them without any issues.
You fixed them up in a way I couldn't.
Great.
Ah right, I almost forgot.
One more thing.
Hmm?
Women's armor?
Is this for Belle?
No, it's for you, Clay.
For me?
But I already have my own armor.
I'm well aware. That shabby junk you could buy off the shelf.
Shabby?
I know why that is, too.
It's because the women's armor from the dungeon shows a ton of skin, right?
Uh, well, everybody has their own tastes...
It's not rare at all for someone to not like something.
I appreciate the sentiment, at least.
What a roundabout refusal...
I know this sounds like passing off the blame,
but that skimpy armor all got made when the old master was around.
The old master?
Back around when I first started working here...
Stuff for women? I've just gotta match it to their figures, right?
No, armor for women needs to show more skin!
Skin?
Yes, more skin!
Thinking back now, he was just asserting his own tastes.
Why do I feel like there is someone I need to kill?
Because of that, there hasn't been any proper women's armor in the dungeon to this day.
I'm partly guilty for why your armor's so shabby, so let me give you this, as my way of apologizing.
I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure I can accept such preferential treatment.
You're the only female explorer wandering about the floors
where you can get decent equipment in the first place. Just accept it.
R-Really?
Wait, didn't Belle make any armor?
Let me warn you... The little lady's sense of style is just awful.
I guess I'll at least try it on.
Right.
The armor on the arms and legs isn't made of metal, so be warned.
Not a problem.
This is easier to move in than it looks. Plus it isn't showing too much skin.
That's because I made it with materials from monsters.
Not only is it flexible, but it's durable, too.
I see that...
I'll go ahead and use it. You have my thanks.
Right.
Woah, you've got new clothes! They suit you really well!
Thanks. Mr. Rangard gave them to me.
You're off today, aren't you?
Did you come here just to show me?
No, I'm here for something else.
Oh...
I got my weapons back from Mr. Rangard, so I'd like to resume exploring.
You mean in the dungeon?
Yeah. According to our contract, as long as I don't leak info,
I'm free to do what I want on my days off.
I should be able to explore the dungeon, right?
That's true, as long as you're at work on time.
I'm registered with the crystal,
but I can't just go around exploring with that having my back, can I?
Huh? That's not okay?
Wait, it'd be fine?
No, that's not okay.
If that's the case, there'd be no risk of dying in the dungeon!
Even if you're registered with the crystal, you'll still feel the sensation of dying.
But if that's still not enough for you, let's see...
How about if your copy dies, you'll be banned from exploring the dungeon?
Banned from exploring...
My father trained me since childhood to explore the dungeon.
I've lived my whole life to be an explorer. To take that away...
If I'm not an explorer anymore, then what would I even be?
You'd still be Ms. Clay.
I see.
That truly may be the same as dying.
Understood, let's do that. I should at least have that much to fear.
It was tougher on her than I expected.
That was my first time slipping through a wall like that.
You need assistance from the little guys, and you can only do it in set places.
Anyway, I'll be going. Will you be fine getting back?
Yeah. Belle gave me a return scroll.
Sounds good. Just don't let your guard down.
Right.
Now then...
It'd be difficult to place the same monsters on patrol as when I found you,
so you'll restart from the stairs leading to the ninth floor.
Sorry about that.
I can't sense the lanky... Er, the Shieldmurg brothers.
I can at least tell that something's here... but what?
I can't feel as much of a threatening aura as before.
Actually...
A human-shaped flame?
Some sort of spirit?
The sort that summons allies, huh?
The main body's feeling me out? In that case, I'll take the initiative!
Now!
Did that do it?
So they're the kind that vanish when you defeat the main body?
No gem, either...
Is it actually dead, then?
Wait, are spirits even alive to start with?
I'm not really sure.
This is my first treasure chest on the ninth floor... What will I get?
Here we go.
The greatest cause of death in the Antomurg dungeon
are the traps set off by the treasure chests.
There are generally two types of traps used with chests.
One uses physical attacks like arrows or explosions.
The other...
That click sensation means it's a magical trap.
There are many types of magical traps, like ones which use natural elements like fire or lightning,
or ones that impact your capabilities, like poison or paralysis, but the mechanism is always similar.
In this case, you go like this, and...
Got it.
Shame. This is a miss.
There's been more large treasure chests appearing from the fifth floor on,
and they're filled with large equipment that didn't show up before that.
In other words...
I'm getting more misses now, since I'm after a dagger.
That said, sometimes there are multiple items in one chest, so it's not hopeless.
This presence feels similar to the last one.
Spirits?
Is it all spirits on patrol today?
Ah, no, I shouldn't think about the administrative side of things.
That goes for the treasure chests, too.
Right now, I should act like a proper explorer.
Spirit monsters have a strong sense of perception, so it's difficult to sneak up on them.
Spirits... Plant ones?
That one's humanoid, too.
That's some sort of mental magic attack!
Is this thanks to when I handled magical power?
My reactions to magic are quicker now.
That may have been dangerous in the past.
A gem?
It felt like a spirit, but it wasn't?
Who knows.
My training is undoubtedly paying off.
I can deal damage to spirits now by adding magical power to my swings.
That said, it uses up magical power. I'll have to be careful with my remaining supply.
How far can I take this in actual combat?
There didn't seem to be any impact when using magical power against this one.
So it depends on the opponent?
This is puzzling.
As I am now, I can't make that judgment just by looking.
I still need to think it through more.
Also, it's more exhausting to use in actual combat than I expected.
It will probably be a while before I can handle it naturally.
It's very useful to be able to use magical power while fighting.
Just gaining that insight is a big deal.
I should fully prepare, rather than pushing myself too hard.
That way, I'll have the power to push past what may seem impossible.
That's what it means to explore the dungeon.
Welcome back, Ms. Clay!
When I come back,
there's someone waiting for me...
Yeah.
I'm back.
The strong gather, seeking to find their true purpose.
They scheme, fight to the death, and strike back in retribution. The second giant—
Ms. Clay! Are you feeling good too?
My spirits do seem to be uplifted, yes.
Hey, does anyone know what happened to the water I left around here?!
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 7,
"Monster Job Interview."
You two... You didn't...!

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 07 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][5275C234]

Visualize that skeleton.
Damn, I need to be even quicker.
You sure are working hard.
Well? Think you can manage?
To be honest, it'd be impossible to handle solo.
What do you think, Latta?
Well, let's see...
My intuition tells me the true leader was probably that overpowered skeleton, not the lich.
That does seem possible.
Should we form our plan for next time with that in mind?
Yeah.
We're the top party in the adventurer's guild.
Let's hurry up and clear the seventh floor.
For sure.
So today, we'll be conducting interviews with monster recruits.
Interviews? You've actually been recruiting?
Of course! Ah, but it's not like we'll interview just anyone.
We only interview those who pass the application screening.
Do you really have to do that step?
Oh, it's nothing all that involved.
As long as they're intelligent enough to understand what's on paper, they're fine.
Even if they can't speak.
Even if they can't speak?!
Wait, isn't that normal for monsters?
Also, there may be some fighting involved, so you'll need to come armed.
If you don't need me to go all out, I should be fine with just my one blade.
Is there a practical portion to the interviews?
No, but a little scuffle happens every now and then.
A little scuffle?
Actually, is it fine for an explorer like me to come along?
They could be the monsters I'll run into, right?
Ah, no worries. Consider it a perk.
A perk?!
You won't leak anything to outsiders, right?
Yeah. It was in my contract, after all.
Then it's not an issue.
We wouldn't be able to get anything done if we factored that into everything.
I guess that's true.
Well then, let's head out.
This place...
It's the final room, isn't it?
Yes. We can accommodate anyone here, no matter how large they are.
Ah, I… see.
The table and couches feel incredibly out of place.
Do you always set these up each time?
No, I leave them here.
You what?
Of course, I didn't want them to get destroyed by our battle,
so we held that match a good distance from here.
Way over in that direction.
It was in the same room...
So the candidates will come here?
That's right.
I'll create a summoning circle for each one.
That sounds like a real hassle.
There's no other choice.
They each have their own environments, space that they'll fit, and living circumstances.
I can't use the same approach for each one.
I see.
Okay, I'll summon the first candidate.
I'll be the one handling them, but if anything stands out to you, please point it out.
Got it.
From a time and place unfathomable as that distant beyond,
cross the invisible wall dividing our worlds.
Invert both of these lands.
This is unbelievable. Her magical power is so intense, I can feel it on my skin.
May the current lead you to the bestowed location.
Mr. Parappoparo, correct?
A roar?!
Please have a seat.
Thank you for sending your application.
You have no issues with the work conditions laid out in the documents, correct?
Great, then we'll proceed as such.
Yes.
Yep.
They're having a conversation? Those are words?!
That section should look like...
Well then, I'll send you the details later!
What did you think?
Well...
What sort of language was that?
He seemed to understand what Belle said, but what were they discussing?
She said she was hiring from the demon world, but what sort of place is that even?
And leaving that aside...
What is the purpose of these interviews?
Oh, right. I forgot to explain.
Even though we call them interviews, they're not so much about determining if we'll hire them,
but more of a final check by meeting them in person.
Letting them see us ahead of time eases any fears they could have,
and we also occasionally get troublemakers who think,
"As if I'd work for someone who looks so weak!" so it's a good chance to educate them.
Educate?
But based on that conversation just now,
it seems like you'll hire anyone with a bare minimum level of intelligence.
Yes, anyone will do!
It's more fittingly dungeon-like that way.
Really? I suppose that could be true.
Do you mind if I summon the next candidate?
Oh right, could I ask a question first?
Yes?
Parappoparo, I think it was? I couldn't understand what he was saying.
Oh, sorry. It completely slipped my mind.
Ms. Clay, you don't have any communication-based abilities, do you?
I-I don't...
We could use a tool to assist with that, but I don't have it on me now.
What should we do?
Ok. Then I'll watch and try to understand as much as I can.
Shall we continue on?
You mean it? Then I'll take you up on that.
Ms. Fuuka, correct?
That's a cat, isn't it? What's going on here?
Please have a seat.
Ah, I see. You can't move. Then we can do the interview here.
It can't move? How does it even survive?
Right, a fixed room, then.
I believe so.
That's no issue!
It's fine even if they can't move?
That's right. I'll put her in charge of a specially-designated room.
He's huge!
It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Teruru.
I'm the dungeon administrator, Beilleheila Langdass.
And I'm her assistant, Clay.
You have my deepest gratitude for inviting me here.
No, thank you for coming out all this way.
So this one speaks the common tongue?
Please have a...
Ah, I suppose that won't work.
No worries.
I'm here today for a final check, correct?
Right.
I meet with everyone in person first to confirm if our interests are aligned...
He seems pleasant, but even with that huge frame,
he doesn't have any openings.
We don't really get intruders on the tenth floor, but you'll be well compensated.
The tenth floor? I see...
Yes, I understand. Thank you very much.
We cannot make magic crystals ourselves.
It's quite helpful to be able to procure them straight from the demon world.
Magic crystals? Demon world?
It was a pleasure meeting you.
Same here.
I shall see you soon.
Right. We'll be waiting.
A tenth floor monster, huh?
That's right. Did he catch your interest after all?
I'll certainly keep him in mind, but I was more interested in that conversation.
The conversation?
What's a magic crystal?
Magic crystals...
You remember the stone you used when you registered to the crystal, right?
Yeah. The thing that guarantees my survival.
That's the one.
That technique can be used to imbue magical power into stones, creating magic crystals.
They're valuable, as they serve to preserve magical power.
I see. Teruru also said he could get them straight from the demon world.
What did he mean?
Ah, well, er...
Is it a delicate matter?
No, that's not it...
It's just a bit complicated.
Can you sum it up neatly?
Neatly?
Well, monsters call this world the demon world.
This world is the demon world?
Uh, let me explain things in order.
The vast majority of monsters can't use magic.
Hmm...
But Lanky... Um, Shieldmurg used it, didn't he?
No, Spiritual Artes are something entirely else.
Here comes more jargon I don't know!
Unlike what we use, called Holy Artes,
they make an offering rather than altering the form of magical power.
Oh, really?
I don't get it!
And so, they have no techniques for handling magical power.
Since I can control magic, or rather magical power, they call me a demon.
Consequently, this is the world where demons live, so it's the demon world.
Um...
That's way too big of a misunderstanding!
There aren't that many people out there who can use magic though, right?
You should correct them.
That'd be great if I could, but...
I'm their summoner and the administrator of this place, as well as the one they deal with.
They only work in this dungeon
and have no contact with the outside world.
So honestly, I doubt they'd believe me.
Ms. Clay, you can't use magic, but you can still handle magical power, right?
That isn't a racial ability, but a technique.
Hmm...
No, it's not really like that...
Wait, does that include me? Am I a demon too?
Well then, I'll summon the next candidate.
Okay, sorry for taking up your time.
Huh?
Are you... Mr. Markudate?
Ha!
That's the name of the guy I just killed!
Uh... you're saying that you murdered Mr. Markudate?
Hmph, that's what I said, right?
This demon realm place sure is barren...
So, you're the demon lord?
The demon lord?!
Is the black one there your special agent, then?
Wrong on both counts.
Does this sort of thing happen a lot?
No. This is the first time someone's murdered a candidate and taken their place.
Er, I'm sorry to say that I'm no demon lord.
I'm this place's administrator, Beilleheila Langdass.
May I ask your name?
I'm Helldande.
Thank you. Now then, what brings you here, Mr. Helldande?
Ha! Bring out the demon lord!
Or at least, that's what I wanna say, but whatever.
I'm after the magic crystals. And don't try telling me you've got none.
Lead me to them!
Um, so you didn't come to take the interview in Mr. Markudate's place?
Eh?!
From what you just said, you’re an invader seeking magic crystals, correct?
Invading, eh? Yeah, that's just fine.
I thought you were playing dumb, but you get it after all, don't ya?
What should we do?
Invasions are usually done in large numbers, so I usually let a few live to teach them a lesson.
But Mr. Helldande is here on his own, and he murdered one of our candidates.
I don't believe we'll be letting him leave here alive.
That's surprisingly little hesitation on your part.
I don't let go of severe rule violations so easily,
and I won't be reluctant to use force on an invader.
This is the dungeon, after all.
That's right.
Are you all done chatting?!
So, which one of ya's gonna show me the way?
Or are ya gonna get the demon lord out here?
He was listening to our conversation, right?
Did he not understand it?
Well, whatever. For now...
Can I handle him, Belle?
Yes, please do.
Understood.
Eh? What's this? You want to have a go?
Mr. Helldande.
Eh?
Ms. Clay here will be acting as our representative.
If she loses, we'll listen to you.
Sounds good to me. You don't mind if I kill ya, right?
That's fine. Right back at you.
Just try it!
When Ms. Clay explored the other day...
Oh my, how quick!
it took less time than usual.
Why is that?
In all likelihood, it was because she exhausted her magical power.
Clay has been training to handle magical power lately.
That concentration and manipulation has been having a subconscious effect on her whole body.
There's a limit to how much you can move a body through muscles alone.
However, it's difficult to face top ranking monsters within those limits.
A domain that cannot be reached through muscles alone...
How can you get there, then?
By moving with magical power.
Generally, magical power doesn't exert any physical force.
It's treated as a tool solely for using magic, but there are exceptions:
You can use it on your own body.
When you find strength after your stamina has run out,
or more power bursts forth from wild emotions, you're actually using magical power.
But that fact isn't known to the world at large.
Magical power is able to move the soul, which dwells in the body.
That said, it's difficult to use magical power on your soul,
and if you amplify or manipulate it carelessly,
it can easily destroy your body.
I believe Clay has most likely been undertaking such training lately.
It may be training to imbue magical power into her weapons,
but she has also been learning how to move with magical power, too.
She's clearly getting stronger.
Damn you! Why are you so strong?!
I'm let down, too. I figured you'd be more of an opponent.
Is she kicking him when he's down?
It went smoothly enough that I incapacitated him without thinking.
O-Oh, I see.
So, um, Mr. Helldande...
Do you have any final words?
Eh?! You damn magic user! You got this close?! You fool!
I'm glad he stayed consistent.
That would have left a bad aftertaste if he had begged for his life.
That's for sure.
How dare you, you—
So, what now? Do we keep on going?
No, we only had those four scheduled for today to begin with.
What'll we do with the body?
Let's go ahead and make him a zombie.
The high ranking monsters on the earlier floors act too wildly, so it can be hard to replenish them.
I-I see...
It's true that I've fought the same ones again and again on the fourth and fifth floor.
Replacements, huh? I see...
Wait, hold on.
I think Helldande would be too strong for the early floors.
You lose your intelligence when you're a zombie, so it should balance out fine.
More importantly...
you have no qualms about reusing the body, do you?
I've heard of adventurers with unrecovered bodies who later turned up as zombies.
That's how you do things, right?
Yes, that's true.
This was resolved quickly due to Ms. Clay's strength, but still... I'm a bit worried...
When you're made into a zombie, you lose your intelligence and grow weaker...
That certainly makes sense, thinking on it. And...
maybe I can take it as good news that I haven't seen my father as a zombie, too.
Actually, if Belle went all out, there probably wouldn't even be ashes left behind.
But before, just for a moment,
I felt that I was getting stronger too.
Looking at Belle, though, I've still got a long way to go.
I'll help you carry that.
Looks like a slow one, but how should we handle it?
Let's do it. We've got to keep on advancing, after all.
That cat was so strong...
That's for sure. It was nasty how much it could move those fireballs around.
I'm sorry. I think I got overly fixated on that skeleton from before.
But we need to deal with all sorts of other monsters too.
We can't just stay as we are.
I want to start fresh. Are you all with me?
That's not right...
My name is Markudate.
Were the foolish explorers to cross blades with me in the dungeon,
all that would await them is despair.
It is inevitable that they would come to lament their lack of experience!
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 8,
"Remodeling and Employment."
Okay, that sounded great! Now to give the interview my all!
Oh? Why, if it isn't Helldande! What're you doing here?

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 08 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][85D64FDF]

Every dungeon has its own set of unique rules and mechanisms.
For example, all dim areas of this dungeon are illuminated.
It's bright enough that you don't need to bring your own light.
But rather than the light seeming to come from any particular place, it's like the halls themselves glow.
On the other hand, even if nothing obscures your vision, you can't see far down the hallways.
It's as if a fog comes in to block it.
They say everything has a reason, but I prefer not to think about it.
Still, I did find it a strange place.
At least, until I began working here.
Remodeling?
Yes. I was thinking of redoing the map for the fifth floor.
In the dungeon of Antomurg, a floor's layout will suddenly be completely different.
When that happens, people figure that an old floor has been revamped.
But in reality...
The earlier levels tend to be the most monotonous,
so remodeling might be some fun.
But if we're not careful about it, we'll get complaints.
I see.
With that said, would you like to take this opportunity to make the map, Ms. Clay?
Who, me? But I don't know anything about all that.
Yes, but I'm sure that will liven things up.
Well... If you say so.
Then what should I do?
All right, let's start by pulling up the current layout.
This is what the map looks like now.
Ah, that looks familiar.
So you want me to reference this and make a similar map?
That's right.
Oh, and I'd also like you to think about any elements you'd like to incorporate.
Elements?
When I explore, I'm cautious of corners I can't see around.
And I'm even more cautious of doors.
At an intersection, I keep an eye out for a pincer attack.
Then there's the question of traps in the passages or on the doors...
Thinking back, there are all sorts of traps attached to the treasure chests in this dungeon,
but none for the passages or doors. Why is that?
Well, about that...
I see! Monsters could fall for those, too!
Sadly.
Monsters are always patrolling these halls, so they would naturally set off some traps.
Keeping the entire staff informed of where they're located and how to evade them
is basically impossible.
The floors—even the walls wouldn't work. However...
Wouldn't trapped doors be fine as long as the monsters don't touch them?
Monsters may need to pass through when delivering a message, but more importantly...
A few will try opening it for fun if you let them know that it's there.
What are they, children...?
Well, whatever... We've gotten off track.
Explorers tend to pay attention to the most dungeon-like threats.
In other words, just slap down some sharp corners, branching paths, 
some rooms with suspicious doors as needed, and you're done. 
That's it? Really?
Is that all a dungeon amounts to? It feels far too simple...
Something's missing... Something...
The enemies!
Right, the monsters!
It's not just about the map.
It's the union of monsters, traps, and paths that make the dungeon what it is! In that case...
What do you think? Can you manage it?
Well, before dealing with the map,
I should figure out how to place the monsters depending on our knowledge of them.
Huh?!
We should lay out the terrain to match the strengths and weaknesses of the monsters.
The monsters'...
Strengths and weaknesses...
Did they seriously not consider that?!
How have you handled things until now?
Um, at a minimum, we ask them what they want.
But otherwise...
We draw lots!
Lots...?
Th-There's a proper reason for that!
Early on, we'd consider things like their species and traits when deciding stations.
But as our monster employee numbers grew, those positions started overlapping.
And so, well...
We ended up going with a lottery.
I see. Understood.
So the placement of monsters will be determined by drawing lots?
Is that okay?
No!
I'm leaving this remodeling of the fifth floor up to you, Ms. Clay!
So I want to respect whatever choices you make and follow your orders.
Got it. Then give me as much info as you can on everyone.
Let's go with lots!
The placement of monsters will be determined by lots.
Compared to listening to everyone's requests, this way would be more impartial and easier, too.
It also feels more dungeon-like when you don't know what will appear next.
How perplexing...
You look like you're thinking really hard, but it's really not worth the hassle.
Is there a limit to the number of rooms or their size?
Ah, there are currently no monsters who need specialized areas assigned to the fifth floor,
so you're free to do whatever you want.
What about treasure chests?
We figured since the newcomer would take charge, we'd go all out with 15 of them.
That's not an issue?
The little guys have been real motivated with their smithing lately.
You've also got my prototypes, so we have it in the bag.
I see.
How does this look?
What is this, a residential town plan? How'd it end up like this?
Well, I tried to pack in elements that I'd dislike as an explorer.
That's not a half bad approach, but...
The walls in the rooms with treasure chests are too thin.
The runts won't be able to slip through them like that.
I see! That slipped my mind.
I suppose you need a passage on the other side.
They could crawl underneath, but I'd prefer to avoid that if I can.
They can crawl with those stubby limbs...?
Well, I guess that about does it. It looks pretty ordinary now.
Right, that reminds me, in this dungeon
visibility is poor, even along straight paths.
Why is that...?
It's for the effect.
Effect?
It's a unique element specifically prepared for this dungeon.
Specifically prepared...
The floors of our dungeon aren't very unique,
so without that little visual flair, we'd be no different than a plain old cave.
A plain old cave...
If you see anything at all that will make the place feel more dungeon-like, please speak up!
R-Right...
Something to make it more dungeon-like...
What's up with this dungeon's final boss?!
Huh?
No, it's nothing...
There aren't any issues with the map, so let's get to implementing it right away.
Please accompany me, Ms. Clay.
You're gonna show her?
Yes. I'd say it's about time.
Got it. In that case, I'll stay behind.
Understood.
What are you showing me?
A place that could be called the dungeon's core.
The origin point.
The origin point?
The origin... of this dungeon?
Is this a door?
That's right.
Though in practice, it's more like a seal.
It'll only open for me.
Release.
It does seem to be separate from the dungeon and residential area.
I've never seen anything like it...
Is this also a seal?
It's not quite that grand, but it won't open unless you match the magical wavelength.
Magical wavelength...
There are wavelengths for magic?
This place...
Oh my, you're quite the fine specimen for a human.
Well? What do you say about becoming one with me?
When did she get there?! I didn't sense anything...
No fair...
I want a vessel, too.
Dungeon People.
This is bad... I can't fight back!
Me too!
Ms. Clay is a precious employee.
You can't mess with her!
My. I simply saw that we had a cute girl here, so I wanted to get along with her.
Sorry for the commotion.
They seem to be worked up, meeting you for the first time.
R-Right...
I couldn't sense their presence at all.
Are they monsters?
No, they're spirits.
Spirits?!
Yes. This is the water spirit.
It's true that I couldn't sense spirit-type monsters either...
They're not spirit-types. They're more like... the real thing.
The real thing?
This room brushes against the boundary of the spirit world.
That's why spirits can take shape here.
I see...
Anything flies in this place. Whatever goes, goes.
Here in the dun—is this even the dungeon?
Oh my, she looks so confused.
She doesn't get it.
It'd take far too long to make a floor on my own,
so I let our spirit specialists shape the initial form.
Spirit specialists?! What does that even mean?
We also have the light spirit, who lights up the inside of the dungeon.
The darkness spirit obstructs vision.
Obstruct!
That's how it goes.
I... see...?
And here's our earth spirit specialist.
A pleasure.
N-Nice to meet you...
That one looks familiar!
Did Old Stache die?
Old Stache? Do you mean Mr. Rangard? He's doing just fine.
Tch!
Number 78 here...?
I'd like to add a corner at point 65, and for point 85...
Here and there.
Right.
Also, I'd like to connect this corner...
How straightforward.
Right?
Let me join in!
Me too!
Join what?
All done. Well?
Yes, that's perfect!
I'm counting on all of you next!
Bright, bright!
Can't see, can't see.
It just looks like they're playing around...
All that's left is the interior. The same as always?
Yes, I'll leave the rest to Mr. Rangard like always.
Then, I'll leave connecting it to you.
Thank you.
All finished. Sorry for the wait.
Right, good work. I didn't do anything, though.
Because you were here, everyone behaved themselves.
It's usually a huge mess, with them fighting Mr. Rangard and all that usually happens...
Mr. Rangard...
See you later.
Yeah, see you.
See you later!
Control.
Dungeon area, base settings.
Consult scaled map.
Add information.
And then we do this...
Delete selected data.
All finished!
We can leave the rest to Mr. Rangard.
Did you change it out just now?
It doesn't feel like it at all.
Shocking, I know, but it just wouldn't be possible to dig it all out by hand.
By hand?
But I figured she was doing it with magic.
Spiritual Artes, was it? Well, it's kind of like magic, anyway...
Ah, so it's all finished?
Yes! I'll leave the rest to you.
Got it.
What are you going to do?
You can come watch, as long as you don't get in the way.
This looks more like a cave than a dungeon.
Yeah, but watch...
That happened in a flash... Wow! Was that magic?
This thing here recreates the image in my head.
Those spirits sure are powerful, but they've got no sense for design.
I'll make it all look like an ancient ruin.
It's gotta be good and dungeon-like!
I see... Makes sense that they'd fight.
I'll handle all this.
That's quite the task.
By the way, aren't there any explorers trying to enter the fifth floor right now?
Ah, right. For the earlier floors, we create new floors alongside them and swap them out.
but we don't get many explorers on the fifth floor,
so we treat the previous floor guardian room like it's in the middle of a battle and keep it shut.
I thought the floor guardian room closes so that outsiders can't interfere in the battle...
So this was the real reason, huh?
Why don't we leave this to Mr. Rangard and continue on?
Is that... a slime?
It's the source slime.
The source...
Slimes. They'll dissolve anything and everything, from weapons to armor.
On top of that, only magical attacks work against them.
That makes them incredibly dangerous.
However, the ones in the Antomurg dungeon are far weaker than usual,
and they never go on the attack.
Not wanting to waste precious magical reserves on them, most explorers just ignore them.
So... are we going to do something with it?
We'll cut off some parts to be easy to handle, and deploy them in new fifth floor's corridors.
Most slimes I've come across in the dungeon were about that size, but, how should I put it...?
What a sloppy means of production.
Speaking of which, I don't recall any of the slimes I've beaten dropping gems.
There are monsters with contracts who revive through the gems,
but there are also those without contracts for which that doesn't apply.
Well, it's not like a slime could agree to a contract in the first place.
My predecessor created these slimes very early on.
If you cut part of them off, their skin will rupture,
so we use tools imbued with recovery magic to split them.
That long knife-looking tool?
Yes.
What will happen if they rupture?
Their magical power will leak out and they'll die.
So magical attacks break the outer layer, killing them...
They're way too weak, aren't they?
They may be monsters, but their job isn't fighting explorers.
They aren't made to be belligerent, either.
Huh?
They use magical power in the opposite way of pure magic...
Ah yes, magic uses magical power to artificially influence the—
Um, er...
Slimes use magical power to break things down, so they're monsters meant for cleaning.
For cleaning... Of the dungeon? Cleaning what...?
Ah. It must be the corpses of explorers and monsters who don't turn into gems.
Are they common on the earlier levels because there are more corpses to deal with?
That's correct.
So rather than just dissolving everything, they dissolve things in order to clean?
I see, how clever.
Got it. So...
What's the deal with that tiny slime?
It used up too much of its internal magical power and is having difficulty breaking things down.
They're all magical power on the inside, so they get small when it's used up.
Thus we return it to the source and cut out a fresh one.
If you keep this up, won't the source itself keep shrinking on you?
Yes. That's why we periodically feed it magic gems to resupply its magical power.
I see.
So convenient... Or wait, is it?
Do the split off slimes have personalities too?
Huh? No, they don't.
They only carry out the tasks they're given.
I'm not sure whether or not you could say they possess any intelligence...
I see.
One slip per monster.
And no peeking into the box!
Number 5, number 5... Where is it...?
Oh, I'm right in front of the stairs!
What number does this say?
Number 10.
We're next to each other again!
Wanna try that combination attack we practiced?!
Ooh, yeah!
No trading places!
This lottery is even more ordinary than I expected...
I didn't expect somebody else would be fighting the fourth floor's guardian.
Is it the Flame Heroes?
It could be Riot.
Oh, that rookie party.
This fight sure is taking a while.
Are they having a rough time of it?
If they're running into that much trouble here, they've got a long way to go.
We're The Ice Wolf's Fangs, a party of explorers challenging the dungeon of Antomurg.
First up, you have me—
Err, next time on Dungeon People, episode 9,
"King and Dungeon Master."
Hey, Latta, I was in the middle of that!
We're short on preview time this week!
Wh-What...?

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 09 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][A7F98252]

Not long ago, I heard that the king had yielded the throne to his son, the prince.
As the rumors have it, the prince had been handling most of the official affairs
even before taking on the position, while the king was partially retired.
I say "rumors" because Antomurg is rather far away from the capital, so it's essentially in the sticks.
On top of that, it's one of the few towns to have the right of self-governance,
so most of its citizens think of royal matters as someone else's problem.
Those thoughts crossed my mind when I saw Belle in that ridiculous outfit.
How does it look?
Um...?
It's a little... oversized... I think.
You're right...
What's this all about?
Well, you see...
You're meeting with the king?
Yes. Let me explain.
Originally, the dungeon was built in an uninhabited area.
Then, explorers gathered there, a town formed, and the kingdom came to collect taxes.
The dungeon's arms bolstered the kingdom's military strength, while its gems brought wealth.
The kingdom wanted control over it.
But from our perspective, that would be a real nuisance.
Actually, our dispute with the main thieves' guild came about
because of pressure from the kingdom.
We took that as impetus to force our way into the castle.
Shall I wipe out this castle, too?
And we entered into a direct contract with the king.
A contract... So that's why Antomurg has the right to self-govern?
That's right. But the land does belong to them,
so we didn't want to completely shut them out.
Ultimately, we established a system with the country to buy and refine the gems we excavate,
given that we had gems to spare.
In exchange for the gems they processed,
people can obtain the armor and weapons that we produce.
Also, there's one additional condition for the town's self-governance.
This is the important part.
The contract lasts for the duration of a king's rule,
but once a new king ascends, they get a single chance to challenge the dungeon master.
To challenge you?
And thus, I'm heading for the castle so I can get challenged by the new king,
all so that the contract can be renewed.
If they're challenging you, shouldn't they come here?
That may be so, but I'm the only one who can use transportation circles.
I see.
So, do you think this outfit will do for the occasion?
No way.
Is that how you dress when you appear on the final floor of the dungeon?
Ah, no, that's a different outfit.
This is what my predecessor wore when they last met the king.
That's a relief. I'm not confident I could take things seriously if she came out wearing that.
How does it look?
That looks a whole lot better.
I only adjusted it a bit. It's not as sturdy as before, though.
I'll be careful.
Now, all that's left is you, Ms. Clay!
Huh?
I'd like you to accompany me, so you'll need an appropriate outfit, too.
R-Really? But what about these clothes...
Definitely not.
Considering your position, you'd either be dressed as a bodyguard or a maid.
The maid outfit would be easier to move about in,
but would the armor look more intimidating alongside a robed dungeon master?
I'm fine either way. What about the two of you—
The maid outfit.
You sure are in sync.
Could I ask why?
It'd look good on you.
You didn't practice that beforehand, did you?
Lookin' good.
You think?
Wearing a skirt doesn't feel quite right...
but it hides the movements of my legs, which might come in handy.
You're such a piece of work, you know.
What should I do with my weapon?
The usual method is to hide it in your skirt.
I kinda don't want to...
Then...
That's how you would wear it for self-defense.
Hmm, not half bad.
So, when do we go?
Tomorrow.
You waited until the last minute?!
When you have a scheduled event, you should leave more time to spare.
While you have a point,
when I prepare too early, I tend to lose all sorts of things.
You lose things? But how?
We really should clean up all the rooms.
Hey, that's not what we were talking about!
I just can't get used to this.
Well, it's only for today. Please try to endure it.
You're lucky, Belle. Your clothes aren't all that different than normal.
I'm going to have to fight in them, though.
I suppose that's true.
Hmm? But isn't that always the case?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
We'll teleport to a building somewhat close to the Frairelvant castle.
Close to?
There's going to be a fight, and we don't want to draw attention from the general public.
I see.
No problems here. Let's go.
Right!
Pardon me, are you Lady Beilleheila Langdass?
Yes.
We have been awaiting you.
You can call me Heim, and I shall be your guide.
This way, please.
It would take a month to come all this way by horse, but we did it in an instant...
I can't let myself get accustomed to this. Keep it together, Clay.
Please wait here for the moment.
My master shall be here shortly.
An arena, huh?
It doesn't seem like they were waiting for you here.
I didn't give them any details other than that I'd arrive today.
I see.
Aren't you going to sit?
I'm a maid.
I don't think maids are supposed to cross their arms like that.
Why are you standing before His Majesty?
Enough.
We are here unofficially. And besides, she and I are equals.
My deepest apologies for overstepping my bounds.
Very well. Take greater care next time.
The king—which is to say, the head of this country.
And Belle is his equal? That's amazing.
Still, should I keep standing?
I don't really understand etiquette and the like.
Thank you for your consideration.
Pleased to meet you. I'm Beilleheila Langdass.
This is our first time meeting in person, isn't it?
Yes, a pleasure.
I am this nation's king, Lugrant Haim Jasreid.
If you are Ms. Beilleheila, does that mean...
Yes, I'm the one that you'll be fighting.
She's just a maid accompanying me, so pay her no mind.
A woman? I didn't hear anything about that.
We can't go fighting a woman.
Is this some kind of joke?
Ah, they're underestimating her.
These men are our nation's best knights and magician.
Their abilities surpass not only the order of knights,
but also the top-ranking adventurers.
Lestence,
Algred,
and Kiska.
She may be a woman, but don't hold back against her.
I said you could have upwards of six in your party, didn't I?
Yes, but no others could match their strength.
I kept it to three so nobody could get in their way.
Ah, understood.
As long as it's not an excuse for a do-over, that's fine.
I'd like to confirm our conditions.
If we defeat you, the management of the Antomurg dungeon will fall under us.
Is this all correct?
Yes, that's right.
And if you can't, I would ask that you continue to assist us like you've done up till now.
Very well. May I ask one question first, though?
Go ahead.
My father tells me there was a girl accompanying the man with whom he formed the last contract.
That was you, correct?
That's right.
Then is your attendant there planned to be your successor?
Ah, no. She really is simply an attendant.
The girl herself looked shaken by the question. Well, let's leave it at that.
That's just because I was surprised. You're way off the mark!
I hear you are the master of the dungeon.
You have no objections to perishing in this place, correct?
Yes, if you can manage.
Now then, as I have my hands free, do you mind if I give the signal to start?
Please, go ahead.
Well then...
Begin!
Dungeon People.
That man casts magic with terrifying speed,
dominating the whole space before a swordsman can close the distance.
It's impossible to cast magic that fast. What a monster.
Unfortunately so. We'll have to take a simple approach, then.
Be even quicker! Don't give her time to chant...!
Unbelievable!
You want me to go easier?
Sure, I could put on a show and pretend it's a close fight, but it'd only be bad for them.
Nobles and kings think they're the chosen ones.
If you make the mistake of giving them hope, they'll claw at us again and again.
Don't think of it as protecting the contract.
Rile them up and crush them mercilessly.
A contract is—
only getting honored if you force it through their skull.
They told me to just stand here since they'd finish it with close quarters combat...
But they're moving too fast, and the situation would change while I'm still chanting anyway.
There's not actually anything I can do here, is there?
Hang on, that woman is easily dominating those two with just a staff. That's just weird, right?
They certainly do seem to be skilled.
However, their physical capabilities seem to be throwing off their movements.
Those movements...
That's what happens when they're not used to fighting while buffed by support magic.
Did those two outside cast the support magic? And then purposefully hid that fact?
A strategy, to make it seem like it was just these three fighting?
This lot... is really a pain in the neck.
Unbelievable.
Lestence is the greatest of the order of knights,
able to topple giant monsters with but a single swing of his spear.
And though he got his start as an adventurer and is moody and volatile,
Algred can compete on equal footing with Lestence.
Those two can't so much as lay a finger on her.
As for Kiska, he's completely lost the will to fight.
However...
We can have a party of six, and if she surrenders or is knocked unconscious, we win.
That's all there is to it, right?
Th-That's true...
Understood. Thank you very much.
I shall succeed.
The rules of the fight as outlined by the contract concern only what happens on the battlefield itself.
Everything else is fair game.
Pardon me.
Don't worry about it.
Stop right there!
My apologies, Madam Beilleheila, but I ask that you halt all further movement.
If you fail to do so,
your adorable maid will come to harm.
My deepest... apologies.
Um...
May we continue?
The two knights are one thing, but Heim is stronger than both of them, and he still wound up like that?
If that's the case, it's clear that she could kill me at any time if she so wished.
I surrender.
This is our loss.
Understood.
Hey, you.
Yes?
If we head into the dungeon, can we challenge you again?
If you can make it that far, certainly.
You hear that?
We'll handle the rest through correspondence, as always.
Understood.
Do you have any further questions?
Nothing so grand, but I do have something I'd like to ask...
Go ahead.
W-Well, you showed excellent skill.
May I ask your name?
Huh?
He wants my name?
But why?
I see... He intends to defeat me before Belle, and take me as a hostage, right?
He undoubtedly sensed that I was weaker than Belle by watching my movements earlier.
If I give him my name, he can look into me.
Considering the circumstances, I should use an alias.
But what should I go with...?
R-Rangard.
Rangard. What a wonderful name.
Seriously?!
Shall we meet again?
Huh?!
I don't want to...
Sorry, but could we save that for some other occasion?
I-I see...
Yes, you're right. My apologies.
Excuse us.
Rangard, is it?
Can you look into her?
As you wish.
I really do feel more at ease like this.
But it looked so good on you.
I don't need your flattery.
That's no flattery. The king thought so too.
That was just part of his plot to use me, since I'm weaker than you.
A plot? That's ridiculous.
Right, such things could happen again in the future.
Please remember to be careful.
Yeah, I'll be sure to do that.
Everything's fine. As long as Ms. Clay's here...
I want to keep her all to myself.
Do you want to eat?
Yeah.
Mr. Rangard!
Ah, you're back! Want some meat?
Looks tasty, doesn't it?
It's still on the bone!
I would like some.
Hmm? From the king?
Yes. It's an inquiry.
Seeking information on a Mr. Rangard? What's this about?
I'm not sure... What should we do about it?
Did he see the name engraved on equipment from the dungeon...?
M-Ms. Clay...
What is it?
We just got a notice from the thieves' guild that an investigation is being conducted
on an individual known as Rangard.
The alias from the other day?!
It says to have you explain the details to Mr. Rangard, Clay.
Got it. Well, I sort of get it, but how exactly should I apologize?
I'm sure I'll get a whack later, as the one in charge...
I'm so sorry.
Though my chase is endless, I can only ever catch a glimpse of his back as if seeing through a fog.
I hear the name "Wind-cutter" drift through the air...
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 10,
"Wind-cutter's Daughter."
Huh? We're done already?

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 10 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][187BCAE1]

I was adopted at an early age, so I never knew my real father and mother.
Both of my parents had ties to the thieves' guild.
Unfortunately, they perished while on the job, so I got placed in the guild's care.
They say that's how I became attached to my current father, but...
My, my, that Brance way back when...
Heh, but that's a secret.
To be honest, I think that was a lie.
However, I do have a memory of grasping onto my father's clothes in the thieves' guild.
That's enough for me.
My father's the one who raised me, the one who I've always respected.
That's why I came here to this dungeon.
I'm trying to catch up to him by following his path.
My current goal is to clear the ninth floor.
And then, the tenth.
I'm also curious about this thing's true worth.
On a side note, while it is just occasionally, I sometimes get this feeling... 
I'm used to my job now.
Morning.
Good morning.
I've gotten used to this job. That's why I've noticed a certain something.
Before we start things off, do you mind if I ask you something?
Go right ahead.
When do you actually sleep?
I sleep every day, you know.
Late at night...
Having trouble sleeping?
A little.
I've heard that some people have trouble sleeping when they're away from home.
And on days when I get up way too early...
You're already here?
You're always working, aren't you?
Well... I basically live here.
You live here?
I have a personal room, but this whole dungeon is like my home.
Her home?
Because it's her home...
Is that why?
A sigh?!
A dungeon for a home... I never even thought of that.
Were you raised here, Belle?
Raised? Well, yes, I spent my early years here.
I see.
If she spent enough time to say she was raised here,
it's no wonder that her common sense would be warped.
Her home... I still can't believe it...
I'm sorry—sorry for wrecking the wall to your home.
Huh...? I-It's totally fine though...
So does that mean that even if you're at your workplace, you aren't necessarily working?
Well, it's possible that I may or may not be...
Which is it?
How should I put it?
Um...
It's always been this way...
I usually do what I please when nothing urgent needs to be handled.
Work is sort of like household chores for me, I suppose...
Hmm...
All the rooms mainly for Belle to use are related to development instead of recreation.
So she prefers managing the dungeon even in her spare time?
That checks out...
No, wait.
You've got to have something else, right? Like a hobby or whatnot... Lemme think...
For example...
In my case,
I'll do maintenance on my exploring gear...
Belle doesn't use it often, so that wouldn't be necessary.
Actually, where does she even keep it normally?
What about restocking herbs and other supplies?
That would just be more work for Belle. And she already leaves that up to the golems anyway.
How about training?
That doesn't sound like Belle to me.
What else? What else is there?
I suppose you really are right.
To me, managing the dungeon is work, but to Belle, it's a part of her everyday life.
It's not what I expected....
I don't have experience with any jobs other than exploring, so it's all beyond me.
Sorry for taking up your time.
Ah, no.
Shall we get to work?
Right. Well then, Ms. Clay, is there anything you want to do today?
What's all this about?
We went to the royal castle the other day, right?
Yes, we did.
After dealing with that annoying bunch of people, you should take some time off from work.
Taking a break after a big job, you mean?
No, rather than taking a rest from work, it's more like resting as work.
What's the difference?
You won't be doing any work, but you'll still be paid.
How can you afford to be so negligent?!
Negligent?!
Um... humans are more exhausting to deal with than monsters,
so think of it as a reward for your hard work.
Sure...
But in that case, shouldn't we do something you'd like to do, Belle?
Don't worry about it.
That's what I always do.
What a nice life she must have...
A reward... What do I want to do?
I can barely manage doing any dungeon work on my own,
yet I'm trying to figure out what I want to do next.
I need to learn a whole lot more, so they can leave some of the tasks up to me.
I want...
to do more work.
But why?!
I want to hurry up and become capable enough to carry my own weight.
Well... Um, part of the responsibility is on me...
That's not what I mean.
This is what I want to do.
She's so serious, I'm at a loss!
You only just started here, Ms. Clay, so I won't stick you to a single job so soon.
The majority of my management tasks need magic to be dealt with anyway.
Plus, both Mr. Rangard and I are fully used to having you as a coworker.
There are still lots of jobs you haven't seen yet,
so let's try out all sorts of things and find one that works for you.
And, well...
It would be a huge help if you could give me more time.
Was she still figuring out what the next job is?
Okay, I'll take a break from work for today.
Great!
They see me as a coworker?
That's...
reassuring.
Long time no see, um...
The name's Pekkomo. And yeah, it's been a while.
Ah, right, Pekkomo.
Do you need something?
Now, how should I put it?
You've been standing there for quite a while,
and it's starting to make everyone uncomfortable...
That wasn't my intent. My apologies.
Are you off duty today? What brings you here?
I'm looking for a certain someone. Or rather, a certain monster.
I don't think you needed to specify.
They were all worked up about me that first day, but now they're all distant.
Makes it hard to call out to them.
Well, you see...
Please know that if anyone dares to touch as much as a hair on Clay's head,
I won't show them any mercy.
Ah, never mind!
They're probably all just nervous!
I mean, you put up a fight against that dragon fellow and everything.
Hmm...
Now, let's leave that aside!
Who are you looking for? I'm already here, so I can at least lend you a hand.
Ah, that'd help a lot.
You see, when I first came here...
Hey, you're Wind-cutter's daughter, right?
Wind-cutter?!
Wind-cutter, eh?
If they said "daughter" there, then he's your dad?
That's what I'd like to confirm.
But how are you gonna look for them?
I've been listening for their voice.
Their voice?
The voice I heard back then...
Hey, you're Wind-cutter's daughter, right?
It's them...
Dungeon People.
Dungeon People.
It's them.
Huh?
What's going on?
And then, you see...
Pardon me.
Oh, it's you.
Sorry for interrupting, but there's something I'd like to ask you.
Do you have a minute?
Go right ahead. What is it?
Actually, I've got stuff I wanna ask you too. So, first off...
So close!
Oh, my name's Binky, by the way.
Well, the real thing's way longer, but I figure it's easier to just call me that.
A-Ah, I see...
So like, so like—
Sorry, but can you calm down a little?
I'm totally calm!
What are you, a kid?
Why don't we change locations?
That attracted some serious attention just now.
S-Sorry.
This should do.
See you around!
Bye!
So, what did you want to ask?! I'm seriously super curious!
Is she always like this?
You asked in the past if I was Wind-cutter's daughter, right?
I'd like to hear more about that.
Huh? Did I say that?
She forgot?!
It was back when Belle—I mean, the administrator, introduced me to everyone.
Ah, that sounds kinda familiar...
I think?
Which is it?
I just say whatever comes to my mind.
It's not like you remember everything you say, right?
Ah, that makes some sense.
Hey, you should remember stuff like that!
Well, whatever... I'd like you to tell me what you know about this Wind-cutter.
Sure, no problem!
Wind-cutter's a real dangerous explorer.
The moment you hear the sound of the wind being cut, you're already dead.
—the sound of the wind being cut, you're already dead. That's how he got his name.
The source of the sound is a throwing knife.
They often come from outside of your field of vision,
but they're so fast that you can't see them coming even if it's head on.
To this day, no one can counter it.
Have you fought him?
Honestly, I was done in before I even realized it.
The wind cutting thing was a total lie. I didn't hear a sound.
If you're not skilled enough, you wouldn't pick up on such a thing.
Sorry for being a mere fifth floor denizen! What about you, eh?!
I've never run into the guy.
Something feels off...
What is it?
I should've punched it too.
Nah, forget it. There are plenty of opponents out there your fists won't work on.
You can swap out weapons, but if you wreck your hands, you're in real trouble.
Huh? But...
Even I'll use weapons, depending on who I'm up against.
Punching things is...
more like a hobby if anything.
He's obsessed with his fists!
The father I knew would close the distance and fight primarily with martial arts.
I don't think he'd be bad at throwing, but for that to be his main weapon...
It just feels wrong.
But from what you said, he made it to the tenth floor, right?
I don't think I could take him even if we did fight.
Oh yeah?
That's right!
The tenth floor.
I could see how his fists wouldn't cut it there.
If I think of it as him changing up his style to adapt to that environment...
No, I just can't picture it.
My dad, throwing knives?
It makes no sense.
Then why'd you say she's his daughter? Do they look alike?
It's a pretty famous story, that Wind-cutter brought his daughter along to train her.
Haven't you ever heard it?
Nope. Never have.
Wind-cutter...
My dad's the only one crazy enough to have brought a kid into the dungeon.
But he was so fixated on using his fists, so throwing knives?
It just doesn't add up.
I'm just realizing it now, but...
I've never seen my father get serious.
And yet, I'm thinking about surpassing him?
How utterly conceited of me.
It's downright embarrassing. I'm glad I never told Belle...
That being said, I'm deadset on improving my skills.
All I need now...
is a weapon!
I really want to obtain a weapon made by Mr. Rangard.
I'll be training and exploring the ninth floor for the time being.
So Wind-cutter is his nickname, huh?
That's far too cool for my old man.
So the goblin quarters are within the dungeon?
That's right. We also perform selective breeding here.
Selective—
What's that mean?
The goblin quarters are in here.
I see.
It really is a goblin village.
Hello there.
Yes, that's right. It's our usual inspection.
Goblinese...
Goblins. They're a type of monster assigned to the earlier floors.
They can use daggers and clubs, but prefer crude weapons.
On their own, they pose no threat.
They never drop gems, either.
So... they aren't brought back by the crystal.
Tons of them are killed by explorers every day.
Based on all of that, they must multiply fast enough to make up for their losses,
and as for how they reproduce...
They capture women of other races
and impregnate them!
What's the matter?
I was just thinking about how these goblin children are born.
Ah, I see. We're going over there right now, so I'll explain it to you, 'kay?
Huh?
This is a field, isn't it?
Yes.
A sprout...
This is a goblin field.
A goblin field...?
Does she mean a field to grow food for goblins?
There aren't any goblins working here, huh?
They're not suited for it.
You mean they aren't intelligent enough to harvest vegetables?
Huh? Ah, you've got it all wrong.
Those things we're growing are goblins.
You grow...
goblins?!
S-So this is a goblin?
That's right. It's sprouted, but it still needs to grow a little more.
Ah, perfect timing.
Those sprouts seem ready to harvest, so let's go observe.
We're here to watch.
The sprout is growing from its horn...
It came off!
My predecessor is the one who established this process.
I see.
We had regular goblins at the start, but far from multiplying, they were wiped out in a flash.
They are goblins, after all...
It seems like capturing a number of the already few female explorers
and forcing them to reproduce was too hard.
That's the kind of thing you have to think about when you're managing a dungeon, huh?
Also, my predecessor discovered after some investigating:
goblins are highly compatible with earth spirits
and subsequently possess vegetable-like traits.
Um...
When a goblin dies, the dungeon absorbs it.
That gets gathered at the tree and becomes seeds.
The spirits do their thing,
and then they can be grown in the fields.
I see...
Her face says she got none of that!
What are they drinking?
A specialized nutritional supplement.
If you feed them too much variety, their tastes become too demanding.
What a tough crowd to please...
I'd like to fine-tune the system a little more,
but all of it was made with techniques only my predecessor learned.
You don't know them?
That's correct. He never taught me.
But that doesn't mean that I've given up! I'm researching it, bit by bit!
So there are things that even Belle can't do...
I'll take them once you're done.
They look like captured prisoners...
Oh, that's because if you leave them be, they'll start digging up the fields and cannibalize.
Cannibalize?!
That's why we have them like that until they're ready for the village.
But still, goblins growing from seeds...?
The more explorers there are, the more monsters that fall.
The raising of goblins and gems to revive monsters are necessary systems to combat that.
Wait, is it necessary?
What is it?
Ah, it's nothing.
Why does Belle go to such lengths to maintain the dungeon?
An ancient, terrifying monster...
Hey, I bet you want to know my real name, right? But there's no way I'm telling you!
Who knows if you can see its face...
What's that? You want to call me Silky? No way!
Next time on Dungeon People, episode 11,
"Those Who Are Not Protected."
Do you want something?
Nah.

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 11 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][D2A75FD5]

A group of team killers?
Yeah. They're new to Antomurg, but they've become the talk of the town.
That's concerning. If they're that infamous, why hasn't the guild dealt with them yet?
They're good at keeping up their appearance. Makes them easy to trust.
And moreso, there's no proof they committed any crimes in the dungeon.
If they're smooth, they can easily make their incidents look like mishaps.
That's quite an issue.
I thought so too, but when I asked at the thieves' guild...
They have a long-haired swordsman, a bald sorcerer, and a standoffish fighter...
Please be careful around them.
Right...
I got warned instead.
Never underestimate the guild's information network.
And that's that. Let's keep an eye out for them.
I'm right behind you.
That's them, right?
Yeah.
The team killers.
Those people?
As far as I can tell, they seem friendly and easy to get along with.
Maybe the rumors are baseless.
Ah, you're back.
There's two of them! Two!
Why'd you bring them back here?!
Because you were right nearby!
Damn it! Take this!
S-Save me!
And one down...
Nice. Seems like we're all good.
You're fast!
Are you all beginners?
Ah, yes...
You really saved us.
No worries.
It can be scary to see goblins in the flesh, but they're not very skilled.
If you stay calm, you should be able to handle them.
Right!
Work on keeping your cool first. Thinking about combat skills can come later.
Right!
Well then, good luck out there.
Thank you very much!
Well, that figures. Turns out those rumors were really just that, rumors.
Calling such upstanding people team killers...
They're probably just jealous.
Seriously, thanks so much!
That happened so quick!
Amazing!
So quick!
You're damn right!
Ugh, those scumbags.
The higher ups have taken a liking to them, but this is a real thorn in my side.
Listen up. Unlike the thieves' guild, the adventurers' guild has branches worldwide,
and is an independent organization that isn't swayed by any one kingdom.
Our members take on jobs like monster hunting, guard work, and item bounties—
all of which are facilitated through the guild.
Since this work attracts the wrong type of people,
we deal with people who commit unspeakable acts, like murder, with an iron fist.
At least, that's how it's supposed to be...
I'm well aware, sir.
Yet those scumbags have hidden their fangs and bribed the top brass,
so they get to do whatever they please.
What is the thieves' guild saying?
Officially, they've put out warnings to get people's attention.
We've had no word from them.
Guess I can't expect anything from them.
So, what now?
Rumors have circulated throughout the guild, so others are avoiding them to some degree.
They're quite good at putting on a facade, so some continue to buy into it.
My name is Hilkemast.
My companions are Buggs
and Atoto.
I'm Millielent.
We have one priestess who accepted their invitation.
I want to call her an idiot for thinking they're good people just because they act like it,
but still, we've got a lot of real scoundrels in our midst.
It gives me a headache, seriously.
So, have they already entered the dungeon?
Yes. I just received word of it.
Got it. Good work.
I'll handle the rest.
You can go.
Pardon me.
Good grief.
You'll handle the rest, won't you?
You got it, boss. If you're fine with how we handle things.
I couldn't care less.
The way I see it, 
murder, framing, backstabbing—if they find something awful they want to do, they'll do it.
What a conundrum...
I see the higher ups haven't changed if they're still letting folks like them run free.
That's for sure. They're like old men, stiff in the joints and unable to move.
Looks like I'll have to do a little something about our problem.
It's always a pleasure to work with an excellent guildmaster like you.
Well, don't let me down now.
Seriously though, when did that oldtimer even sneak in here?
Really?
Got it, I'll get things ready.
So...
What exactly is going on today?
Ms. Clay, you know the rules of the dungeon, don't you?
The rules? Do you mean the rules that the thieves' guild made?
Yes.
The one they emphasized the most was...
"Explorers should never lay a hand on another explorer."
Yes, that's the one.
Still, people are going to ignore that. It's just a warning, after all.
About that...  Um...
I know you've been a victim of such terrible things before, Ms. Clay.
My predecessor was fine with it, justifying it as part of the dungeon experience.
Sounds like him.
But...
I put a stop to it!
I don't let things like that happen in my dungeon.
"Her" dungeon...
I see.
So that's what today's task is about. Maintaining the peace in the dungeon.
Maintaining the peace...
With monsters and explorers fighting all over,
can you really call that "peace"?
Is something on her tongue?
Are we wiping out all the adventurers?
Wiping out?!
No, as I just explained, we're only dealing with people who haven't been following the rules!
Oh?
And how do we do that?
We'll capture them and turn them undead as an example of what happens to rule breakers.
Is that why she's on edge?
So that outfit is supposed to make you like a security guard?
Well, executioner was the look I was going for.
Ah, there's one for you too. Over here.
Here.
Good outfit. You look fit for the job.
What job is that, exactly?
If the job is dealing with rule breakers, are we just going to sit here with nothing else to do?
That's right, we gotta wait.
What if those fears are unfounded?
We have a toast.
The thieves' guild's opinion is we shouldn't make a move until they take the bait.
Guess that settles it, then.
I've heard the rumors, of course,
but it's really something else to see monsters turn into gems up close.
It only occurs in Antomurg, after all.
With this, you're not stuck with the chore of selling goods to the guild.
It's great.
That reminds me, you said we should ignore treasure chests. Why do that?
Ah. I heard you never get anything of value from chests on the earlier floors,
and the risk of them being trapped is high.
On today's expedition, we just want to see how far we can make it.
Understood.
You really helped us out by coming along, Ms. Millielent.
Even if there aren't any traps along the hallways, it would be rough exploring without any healing.
No, don't worry about it. My previous party had just disbanded anyway.
They weren't able to find anyone from the thieves' guild, likely due to those rumors.
I can handle a bit of close-quarters combat as well.
With this lineup, I'm in the middle, guarding the sorcerer.
If it comes down to it, I can always whack the sorcerer and make a run for it,
but it seems like I won't need to do that.
Well, it looks like the fourth floor will be a breeze as long as we don't slip up.
I agree. All of you are very skilled.
By the way, I was a bit curious about something. Could I see your weapon?
Huh? Sure.
What do you think you're doing?!
My, what a nice look on your face.
A floor guardian, was it?
Isn't it peculiar that until we move onto the next floor, nobody else can enter this room?
No matter what happens,
no one can interfere.
Regrettably, it appears to have started.
No time for a toast, then.
Let's get going.
Dungeon People.
Sorry to interrupt while you're all fired up, but can you fill me in on the details?
Right, well...
Should I send them ahead?
Please do.
Team killers?
That's definitely not something we can let go.
Sorry for taking up so much time. Let's get going.
Right. Here.
My right hand hurts, but I can move it.
They probably won't give me time to cast healing magic, though.
My mace is at his feet.
There's no way I'll be able to pick it up.
Should I run to the entrance?
There's no way I'll have enough time to open the doors.
Then, I have to slip past them and head to the next floor?
All on my own?
Oh come on!
I can't believe they were putting on an act all this time.
And they had me fooled me this easily...
Hey Buggs, don't use the knuckle dusters. Do you want to break her?
Whoops, wasn't thinking there...
Hey, if you behave yourself, we'll go easy on you.
Huh?
What are those things?
Step back. Prepare yourself.
R-Right.
Floor guardians?
I've never heard anything about more appearing.
Interrupting our fun after we came all this way?
That gets on my nerves.
You can stop that? What a pain...!
They're monstrously strong. Don't mind their looks.
It's a stone, right? I've just gotta smash it!
No problem for me.
That's tough!
What do we do?
They seem to be really slow. Let's just ignore them and move onwards.
We even have a convenient distraction.
They're seriously the worst...
Oh well, if I'm going to die either way, at least this way is better.
An explorer's end...
Ah, my mace...
Th-Thank you...
Is it telling me to get lost?!
They're up ahead too!
What?
What's going on here?
Weren't the areas around the stairs supposed to be safe zones?
Don't ask me. How would I know?
Tch... There's just one.
Let's fake it out and slip past.
Got it.
What's with that stance?
Now.
It took that ridiculous stance so it wouldn't lose balance no matter which way it swung its sword?!
I'm taking it head-on.
Cover me.
Buggs?
Who?
Huh?
Guys, what is this place?
No clue.
I was dodging an attack from that golem— the next second, I'm here.
Greetings.
You're... the one from before!
Yes, I invited you all here.
Welcome to the end of the tenth floor.
The final room.
The final room? Does that mean you're the floor guardian of the tenth floor, young lady?
That's correct.
The one we just defeated was the floor guardian for the third floor.
We should be fine for the fourth floor,
but my source says the difficulty jumps up from the fifth floor on.
In other words,
challenging the tenth floor would be suicide...
Still, the threat of the dungeon comes from its monsters.
It's an endurance test—get past the monsters and face the guardian of each floor,
then repeat the cycle of combat and exploration again.
We have no injuries and plenty of stamina.
If we're in peak condition,
even if she's a bit more than we usually handle, we definitely...
have a chance!
I would normally give my name at this point,
but it's not like you made it here through your own efforts, so that won't be necessary.
That's a shame. So, how do we get you to send us back?
This is the dungeon, so all you need is brute force.
Just like how you used it against that woman in your party.
You...
I see. If you know about that,
neither can we turn our heads and flee, nor can we let you go.
We're fortunate that they've taken the form of humans.
They should only be able to move like a human. And they're women, too...
If they have any sense of shame, we can possibly create an opening by tearing their clothes.
If this is truly the tenth floor, they'll be much stronger than they look.
Don't hold anything back.
Right!
Buggs, you take the black-haired one on the side.
I'll bash away at the staff.
You look for an opening, Atoto.
If we come to a stop, you can fire off a big one.
Whether the target is monster or human, killing is a matter of experience...
I was wondering what these team killers would be like,
but these are the eyes of remorseless killers.
There's no need to hold back, then.
You think a dagger's enough to stop these fists?!
I'd like you to avoid cutting off their limbs if you can help it.
If they're not whole when they die, they'll fall apart much easier when they turn undead.
I see...
In that case...
The torso, perhaps?
What in the world is she?!
She keeps on parrying everything!
Why is the tenth floor this intense?!
This is bad. How is Buggs...
The other one ran for it.
That bald bastard!
I get it, now. This is our loss.
But really, I don't want to die.
They may be monsters from the dungeon, but they do seem to possess intelligence.
In that case...
Why don't we make a deal?
A deal?
Yes. If you let me go, I'll become your underling.
We can act outside of the dungeon.
Maybe do some reconnaissance for you.
What do you say?
Outside of the dungeon, you say?
Got her!
We already have the thieves' guild, so we're fine.
Besides, you've already proven you can't follow the rules, so, you know...
Damn it...
What about the one who ran away?
Should I chase him?
Hmm...
He's within range, so I'll take him down.
Within range?
Fly forth,
O Arrow of Power.
She managed that much force and range from such a quick chant.
Back then, how many of those could she have fired off?
Belle.
Yes?
Is it fine that you took out half his body?
I'm Fen, leader of The Ice Wolf's Fangs.
I promise we won't hurt you. But...
Would you mind telling us why you're here on your own?
The Ice Wolf's Fangs... I know them. I've seen them too.
They're the highest ranking party in the Antomurg adventurers' guild.
I've never... heard any bad rumors about them.
Am I really... okay now...?
Huh?! What?! Did I scare you?!
You made her cry.
Huh?!
Ugh...
Huh?!
What do you find fun, Ms. Clay?
Hmm... I'm really enjoying things right now.
Huh?
Next time, the final episode,
"Dungeon People."
Eh? H-Huh...?

▶ [Chihiro] Dungeon People - 12 [Blu-ray 1080p HEVC FLAC][1FBFE2EE]

I'm so glad Ms. Furin gave us those cooking lessons.
By removing the inedible parts and using a proper amount of salt,
you can actually get food that resembles... food.
It's quite an amazing technique.
Freshly baked bread is also really good.
Thinking about it, what do the monsters do for their meals?
Ooh, did you make all that?
Yeah. I've been doing this as of late since I learned how.
One acquires techniques through repetition.
There's always room for improvement.
For one thing, I can really work on my precision.
That's a wonderful attitude and all, but...
How did she get this far through life without knowing how to use salt?
Exploring's the only thing in her mind.
Hmm? What's up?
I was just thinking about how hopeless you are.
Right, I still have a long way to go.
That's not quite what I meant...
Oh yeah, there was something I wanted to ask you.
What is it?
What do the monsters do for meals?
Yeah.
I only know a little about all that myself. So take it away.
All right. Well, we do try to listen to what they want,
but it's not set in stone since there's too much variation to account for.
Right.
Speaking broadly, monsters will either eat their food raw,
prepare their meals,
or hunt on their own.
Hunt?
Ah, I suppose it'd be quicker to just show you.
Why don't we go on a tour today?
Though we stock a kitchen full of ingredients, few monsters choose to cook.
The majority just eat the ingredients raw.
Perhaps it's in their nature.
I see.
For once, that matches my image of a monster.
What's this...
This is the largest individual block, consisting of the farm fields and hunting grounds.
Are we... outside?
No, we're still underground.
Its resemblance to the outside world is entirely artificial.
Amazing...
From where we're standing, you can see the plains, forest, fields, and lake.
I've heard that a lot of dungeons will change terrain from floor to floor.
Couldn't you make this place into a floor in the dungeon?
I suppose I could, but... How should I put it?
It looks like any other place you'd find outside. It's missing that dungeon feel.
Dungeon feel?
Oh, Clay. What brings you around here of all places?
Don't mind us. I didn't mean to intrude.
Hey, hold on! Let's at least talk a little!
Ah... So you're on a tour. I see now.
In that case, why not give this a try?
It's a fresh sprout, so it's tender and tasty.
Right.
Humans shouldn't eat that!
Oh? Guess our cuisines differ, then.
A shame, when it's so delicious.
Don't do it. You'll wreck your stomach.
Ordinary animals are out here too.
If you don't count the farm, they're usually here.
This is a hunting ground, after all.
I guess so.
Yup. This is a hunting ground.
Could I have a moment?
Yes, go right ahead.
The view's better than I expected.
What— You were just down there... Huh?!
Are you hunting too, Binky?
I am.
Are you here to hunt mice too, by chance?
No, I'm just here to observe.
Oh?
Then do you want to watch me hunt?
You don't mind?
As long as you can keep up.
She caught me off guard before, but the forest is my domain.
Nobody can keep up with me here.
How nostalgic. It's been a while since I've trained out in the forest.
I'm feeling off today, so sorry, but let's call it here.
I-I see. Take care...
How was it?
It's a fine forest. It's hard to believe its not organic.
I'm honored.
Well then, why don't we check out the fields?
It's a bit late, but I can I ask you a question?
Go right ahead.
Don't you think you're leaving a little too much to the golems?
It was different at the start.
Back then, we thought it'd be more efficient to assign roles to specialists in those areas.
So the gnomes handled the fields,
the treants had the forests,
and the stone turtles had the rocky areas.
They were pretty efficient, but...
They often got fixated on the finer details and made it more of a hassle than it was worth.
You've got to use cockatrice dung for fertilizer!
More water, but not too little sunlight.
Wait for three more years.
I see. A craftsman's pride, eh?
On top of that, they'd clash with other monsters a lot and created tons of unexpected work.
Stop eating those!
Nutrients?
I see. True craftsmen to the core.
In the end, we judged that teaching the golems how to do it would make things run smoother,
even if it meant lower efficiency and precision.
Either leave it to easily managed golems or specialists who create more problems...
Is that why the golems handle most of this dungeon's tasks?
It's not like she inherited everything from her predecessor.
Belle must have had to keep on experimenting to make managing the dungeon viable.
Ms. Clay?
Management sure is tricky, isn't it?
As far as I know, there aren't any aquatic monsters around.
That's right. Maintaining a water environment within the dungeon would be rather difficult.
Oh? I didn't expect to find you here.
Ah, sorry for interrupting your meal.
Oh no, Mr. Reilmond's actually just bathing here.
Bathing?
Maintaining good hygiene is one of the keys to being a proper gentlemen, after all.
I-I see...
That's the guardian for the eighth floor.
It's surprisingly cute, looking at it now.
Or maybe not.
This is the kitchen!
We expanded it just recently.
Was it too narrow?
Oh?
I see. So it was too small for Teruru to fit in.
If the two of you are together, does that mean that you're on the job right now?
I'm taking a tour of the food-related areas.
Ah, I see.
Sorry to bother you while you're cooking.
Ah, this?
I'm actually making medicine.
That's medicine?
That was a belglog root just now, wasn't it?
Ooh, you're familiar with it?
I found them in the forest hunting ground.
It's a wonderful place for gathering rare ingredients.
I appreciate the kind words. I didn't know you could make medicine.
You see, I was actually a scholar back home.
Wow, really?
If you're boiling belglog root and it's bubbling like that, does that mean you added palpet leaves?
You are precisely right. I also used lolo water.
Then are you going to wring it out and dice it up next?
Ooh, that's the first I've heard of wringing it out. Do you tear it apart as is?
That's right.
I'd hate to interrupt while you're all excited,
Moisture causes the kururu effect to...
but it's boiling over.
Ah!
Do you eat it?
It felt like they were on the same page, but they totally weren't!
I certainly did learn a lot.
I'm glad to hear that.
Oh, that's right! Why don't we stop by the hunting grounds one more time?
You see, there's a place there that's really special to me.
Let's go—
Is something wrong?
Unfortunately, taking you to my favorite spot 
has to be put on hold for a bit.
Dungeon People.
The crystal room...
What's going on?
I mentioned this once before,
but this crystal exists to teleport your original body if anything were to happen to you.
And on that note...
It seems the time has come to swap it out.
Swap it out?
Yes.
This crystal isn't something that can be used forever.
When its time comes, we need to swap it out.
I figured that would happen soon.
A notification appears above everyone's heads when the crystal is exhausted.
Since you're here, would you mind helping me change it out?
Sure, I don't mind.
Once upon a time, a massive crystal lay buried underground, gathering magic from the earth.
What a wonderful magic gem. I would love to utilize it in my dungeon.
But it's too large to be moved.
In that case...
I simply must construct a room surrounding it.
Yeah, something like that.
Um, no, it's expendable and I made it.
Understood. What do you need me to do?
I need to use one hand to control the transfer,
so it would really help me out if you could hold onto the crystal in the meantime.
Right.
When I try to support it with one hand,
I wind up accidentally using too much strength and shattering it.
She can shatter it with just one hand...?
Which one should I hold?
The floating one.
Give me a moment while I set up the procedure.
Right.
Control, full save, set target.
Begin.
Okay, we'll swap them out now.
Can you hold it?
Yeah.
It's heavy, so please be careful.
Control, initialize, erase installation.
It's so pretty...
Oh, geez... It really is heavy!
All done!
Thanks for the help.
It's heavy, so I can take over.
No, I'm fine! It'll double as training.
That looks painful, though...
Anyway, where are we moving this to?
Um, it's going to the origin point...
Got it. Just show me the way.
We just went past a seal, but there's still more?
Does it ever end?!
The security here's really tight.
Yup. It's a closely guarded secret, after all.
All of it serves to limit collateral damage if anything goes wrong.
Is that thing dangerous?
Quite dangerous. Are you aware of dungeon cores, Ms. Clay?
Dungeon cores—they're known as the hearts and brains of dungeons.
They shift terrain, prepare traps, produce monsters, and are essential to creating a dungeon.
I've heard that the dungeon will fall apart if you destroy it.
Is that what that thing is?
No, it isn't.
It's a failed attempt at creating a dungeon core.
A failed attempt?
My predecessor designed it to be a dungeon core,
but he couldn't figure out how to get it to work beyond gathering and circulating magical power.
A dungeon core? That's really something you can create?
No, that can't be right.
It's the very source of a dungeon.
And yet... He made this.
Ugh, that aside..
Sorry, but I'd like to put this down soon.
A-Ah, sorry!
You can put it down over here.
Is this spot good?
Yes, that's perfect.
So, what now?
I'd like to try to recharge it.
Right.
Your job is done now,
but would you like to stay and watch me work?
Yes, I'd love to.
An object, once created, once held fast and connected...
Flow to the source, define the following route...
I've never heard anything like this...
It's like a song. Or a chant?
I can't believe it... This magical power is incredibly dense!
If this is what the predecessor, or rather, the previous administrator was capable of—
doing something as miraculous as creating this dungeon—
I can't begin to fathom... Whoever succeeds him...
could possibly...
What happened, exactly...?
I shattered it.
When you try to replenish the magical power of an ordinary-sized magical crystal, it'll shatter.
But the same thing happened even with one this big.
Maybe then, is the problem magical power absorption and not the surface area?
What about saturation?
I don't really get it, but that's a bummer...
Oh no, this was actually the first time I got one to make it that far without breaking it.
So that alone is a step forwards!
Really? Well, I also got some training out of it, I guess.
Oh right! I think we'll still make it!
Come on, let's hurry!
Where to?
My special place!
You can only see it at this place, at this time.
It's certainly... beautiful.
H-How should I put it?
Um...
It's always been this way...
But...
I put a stop to it!
I don't let things like that happen in my dungeon.
Why did Belle end up inheriting this dungeon?
What does she feel, carrying on with managing this place?
As things stand now, I can't even begin to piece together any of it.
And yet...
Why don't we head back and eat dinner?
Yes, let's.
And yet, I made the decision to work here.
In that case, please call me Belle.
Belle.
Yes?
The little lady wasn't really lacking personnel.
She lacked companions she could talk to. Those who would stand by her side.
Staring every day as adventurers with strong bonds challenge the dungeon together...
It took a toll on her.
I learned that you don't have any friends, Ms. Clay.
That means we can be each other's first friend!
And from here on out, as well...
I'm glad we got to see it together.
Yeah.
Ms. Clay.
Thank you so much for working here.
I'm so glad I can count on you being here.
Right.
Tonight, why don't we sear some dragon meat for the first time in a while?
Ah, I was thinking we could give this a try too.
Huh? Ms. Clay, that grass... Is that possibly...
Indeed. It's the grass that Pekkomo was enjoying eating so much.
L-Let's not do that tonight...!
