>>291712123Why does the queen’s reflection look like an Elder Scrolls elf?
>>291712257Such a beautiful page.
>>291712281I want to fuck that mouth.
>>291712214How?
bonus spooky black page

>>291712069>>291712092>>291712123The queen needs a Tallman side piece to satisfy her
>>291712069>>291712092>>291712123What's with the Queen's dimples appearing and disappearingIt's like Kui couldn't decide if she wanted to make her old or not
>>291712281Wait, what?!?!?!That is seriously it?!?!?!
>>291712123pondering exhibitionist hag elves on my orb
>>291712123>That prudish gnome is more concerned by the queen's royal outfit than the end of the worldAs if those garden decorations could understand the subtlety if the royal elven fashion. They are barely a step above inferiors.
>>291712123>the world is a dungeon>sent to dray-ee-ay-ee-ayyyyn>all your desires
>>291712069They are going to eat Marcille.
>>291712330Don't you love the suspense?>>291712390>implying he isn't ogling her
>>291712092I've always wondered just how technologically advanced the dwarves are in this universe. Like they've developed steam powered machinery and telephones. But what the fuck is going on in dwarf land that we see several examples of dwarves who are marauders and barbarian assholes who want to just pillage and raid.
>>291712123>>291712092>>291712069how does the bird-telephone-crystal ball crossover tech work?
>>291712257>>291712233insane art
>>291712069sex sex sex sex sex sex
>>291712390>Discussion about how to prevent the end of the world>Elf Queen: Lalalalalaa here’s my tits brrrvvvvmmmmm
>>291712214no, I believe that is the demon.
>>291712257I feel like this page is meant to be a reference to some work but I can't figure out which one.Aside from the girl being the obvious Kabru stand in.
>>291712281Damn this is agonizing how short these chapters are all of a sudden. Almost like... Running out of your favorite meal.
>>291712431The demo? Evil? No way
>>291712329they're laugh lines.they're just simply not as visible depending on her expression.
>>291712409I’m guessing Dwarves are not Americans. Like the mainland has a proper military with guns and nukes, while the raiders we see are rouge militias.
>>291712412It’s magic they ain’t gotta explain shit
>>291712123Is the queen's white hag bush on full display here?
>>291712257Sexo with random little girl
>>291712320Hemea is old as shit, she already had miles of tallman cock. That's why she knows for a fact that they're inferior.
>>291712306I'm just going to imagine this is a closeup of one of Flamela's asscheeks.
>>291712456Demo is an all right guy, just an alcoholic manic-depressive
I find it funny that Gnomes in high places wear the stupid fucking cone hats
>>291712419Stop having sex with the bird familiars, Anon. They're mentally linked to male elves.
>>291712525better conical hats than nude
>>291712525Hey, it's not stupid, it's traditional. Those things are fancy as shit.
>>291712402It was killing me but I was disappointed Much like a weak orgasm
Might as well post this now since it isn't a spoiler anymore.>>291712497Yes, later he have a better look at her dress and it's basically an open bathrobe.
>>291712567>behold, new hat shapes>this is the future, old man!!!>you are like little baby, watch this!>new hat color
>>291712509>That's why she knows for a fact that they're inferior.she's just pissed off one of them cheated on her
>>291712588>the queen was an adventurer in her youthOh, she def was riding Tallman dick, then
>>291712567gnomes could go more antiquity with a Phrygian cap or more legend of zelda with a soft conical hat
>>291712069>the line on her neckWait, is she just wearing a "skin colored" bodysuit?
>>291712306noooo THINK OF THE INK COST
>>291712588how come there isn't any sexy fan art of her?
>>291712658No she's just old
>>291712658>>291712703i think it's thin jewellery
>>291712431The demon only wants to sate its hunger like any other living being. It's no more evil than any predator snapping the neck of its prey.The Lord of the Island on the other hand is a lazy piece of shit who let the situation get out of control through his apathy, negligence and incompetency.
>>291712658>>291712707Isn't it a summoning tattoo like Fleki's?
>>291712525"Gnomes in High Places" is a great band name.
>>291712726>The Lord of the Island on the other hand is a lazy piece of shit who lethe has no actual power, though. That's the Shadow Lord.
>>291712762>a bad leader loses his power as his authorities fall into the hands of an underworld figureThat's still entirely on him
>>291712092So high elves have a Queen. How do Dwarf and Gnome societies operate? Gnome seems to have an "Elder" which seems to be the senior most Gnome on their little council. How come Tallmen are so spread out and have no central Kingdom?
>>291666956The dad really does look like Marcille (eyes, eyebrows), well her current design that is.Take away the beard and he's mostly her.I do think cat meant he looks like Marci, not Laios.>>291681240>>291680501Didn't we all know that? That's how italians look. Just look at Cicciolina
>>291712069me too, bird
>>291712994We know dwarfs have a king, but he doesn't have much real power.>How come Tallmen are so spread out and have no central Kingdom?Estructural racism, long-lived race interventionism and unequal wealth distribution.
>>291712066it did improved a lot
>>291712517both. Or the part of them that you can see from the front on a wideopen beavers inside magazine photo
>>291712409Dwarves are quite a culturally fractured race. Its mentioned in another extra that they tend to prioritize authorities that they live closer to, rather than whoever the actual highest authority is, and those figures of authority often don't get along with each other, either. (like, the lord of some city will potentially outright ignore correspondence from the dwarven king because they view their dealings with another lord from a nearby land as more important.)So while some higher ranked dwarves/bigger dwarf cities probably have a lot of impressive technological advancements, trying to communicate that to other dwarven lands, or trying to get them to implement those advancements, is probably an extremely slow going venture.
>>291712640>cheated on herGhosted her.By which I mean he died and became a ghost.
>>291712257kinography
>>291712069>It's the end of the world.That has to be Flamela speaking, right?So in honesty it is looking even worse than how she presented it to the elf kids.
>>291712092The damn phone isn't connected to any cable.
>>291712390That should teach people to do sneaky video-scrying on people
>>291712066R8 this dungeon meshi kobold OC
>>291713237>should teach peopleapologies, I meant gnomes
>>291712281I forgot how short some of the chapters are.
>>2917132416/10Could see Kui drawing something like this
>>291712281So that girl is basically meant to be a young mirror of Kabru?
>>291712726>The demon only wants to sate its hunger like any other living being. It's no more evil than any predator snapping the neck of its prey.Get the hell out of here Ginko, the Mushishi thread is way down.
>>291712069
>>291712281Awww. Good luck, brown family.
>>291712281hantan lyë avestaina
>>291713294for reference:>The Succubus taking on the form of Izutsumi's mother was wearing a deel, a Mongolian style of clothing>Senshi is a Japanese sounding name, and the Jomon/Ainu people of Japan are known to be able to grow significant beardsSenshi also doesn't dress like a Jomon or Ainu, but it should be noted Senshi lived with the dwarf miners who were exiled or cast out dwarves from all over, and then he lived in the dungeon with orcs as his main contacts for a while. So he probably doesn't have any attire from his native place.
>>291712687https://exhentai.org/g/3983604/c188882b56/three pics
>>291712726The demon's hunger isn't a matter of survival, it's a matter of pleasure.
>>291712165On a reread, this feels really sudden after the last thing we saw was Marcille going to war. I had to double check that I didn't miss a chapter.
>>291712731It's explained in some extra that there are many magic tats including misdirection ones
>>291713399I don't think Senshi or the dwarves in general are meant to be japanese beyond a few of them having japanese sounding names (like Namari). Basically no we have of dwarven clothing or cultural stuff indicates that they're japanese. I think Kui initially named Senshi that as something of a joke, and then rolled with it.
>>291713447* no instance
>>291712123her fairy is bleached
>>291713447dwarves in general aren'thowever it's specifically mentioned that the dwarf miners were all exiles, and it's unlikely they are all from one placesenshi I believe is also born on the Eastern Archipelago, which is the Asia stand in, and his name is at least Japanese-sounding (but the meaning of the dwarvish name vs Japanese meaning are different)
>>291713399He also tends to make mostly japanese cuisine as a default
hm wait shitSenshi is actually born quite far north of the Asia stand inthis makes it a bit harder to determine his origins, since he isn't that far from Laios' birthplace
>>291713507Does he? He did make ramen for MarcilleBut tempura, while Japanese, has Portuguese origins, as Portuguese traders had a deep fried and battered dish they introduced to Japan that the Japanese based tempura off of
>>291713505> Senshi was born on the eastern archipelagoHe wasn't. He was born on the eastern continent, which most dwarves are from.
>>291713594it specifically says "Eastern Archipelago" in his bio
>>291713507Think that's just Kui's influence as a japanese person making a food manga for japanese people. Its meant to be funny that in a fantasy world they're still making stuff like kakiage. Also as it is, Senshi makes dishes from a bunch of different cultures anyway.
>>291713621no it doesnt
>>291713665ok looks i was mistaken
>>291713640he made Peking duck in one chapter (but with a miniature dragon)He also made dumplings (but dumplings are very, very multicultural and not just Asian), he made French crepes, he made sauerkrautmaybe Senshi is just a worldly chef who can cook dishes from all over the world
>>291712233>>291712257This manga is incredibly beautiful.
>>291712497>>291712588The queen's "dress" is really slutty. I can't blame the gnome for staring.
>>291712281Thanks, anonsito.
>>291713701do elves grow any pubic hair
>>291713447>I don't think Senshi or the dwarves in general are meant to be japanese beyond a few of them having japanese sounding names (like Namari).Those names may just be an artifact of them being characters made up early in the making of the pilot chapter(s) and the publication pitch.She probably reconsidered that and they are not from the Shuro place but too late.
>>291713665i thought he was younger than 50 when he found the dungeon and spent 10 years there
>>291712233Oh look, Marcille's snake
>>291712092>screw on the table>loose cable>cracked metersSloppy operation here
>>291713743...O-of course not!!
>>291713701I wish i could let it all hang and everyone had to respect me still
>>291713481The fairy is made by the brown elf seen here >>291712069 so she matches her look and is not vantablack.
>>291713447>>291713505didn't kui said she based senshi off one of her neighbors?
>>291713762
>>291713783waitdo the male elves use their own semen for the creationwhere do the female elves get the semen from
>>291712233>>291712257>>291712281You just know somewhere, Kabru's pants are just filled to the brim with shit after seeing this happen again but even worseThanks for the read, OP
>>291713804from me
>>291713801
>>291680010>endless Laios slander about him not knowing people enough>it gets further established that they're all basically work friends and don't know much>Laios was never particularly worse than anyone else in this regardLaios hatersAutism accusersMaturity slanderersApologizeNOW
>>291713801>>291713816Very nice and all ends tied as kuisual
>>291713816He ears are obscenely round in this>Chilchuck's childish bullyinglol>Senshi's faceFucking ADORABLE
>>291712069Sex with hag with saggy tits
>>291713743>elf pubic hairI truest good japanese taste to make it based
>>291713804semen shop, silly
>>291712409They are Welsh
>>291713762He was in his thirties when he went in, equivalently in his teens, but he spent far longer than 10 years there. He escaped the dungeon after living with the orcs for a while, but returned fairly quickly and then spend the next 60-ish years learning to live in the dungeon properly on his own. He made up the '10 years' thing on a whim because he didn't really want to get into his tragic backstory with a bunch of people he didn't really know yet.
>>291712257Marcille has lost her god damn mind
>>291712257Crazy how her understanding of monster biology has improved over such a short time
>>291712431From the lyrics of "Sleep Walking Orchestra," the first op theme for DM.The light that slipped in through the window became the first friend it found on the floor.My empty hand was gently taken, and I was led away into a dream.When several ordinary things overlap, magic sometimes dwells within.I believe that was the demon. Within a dream from which I have yet to wake.
>>291713871Kui likes fluffy
>>291712994Dwarves are far more tribal(?) than elvesThey put much more stock in their communities than in any central government
>>291713816I guess this means that Senshi and his team probably found/created the 'back entrance' Flamela referenced in a previous chapter?
>>291713920It hasn't, she's just throwing shit at a wall. Her dungeon is ecologically a dead end, but she's hit the point where you can just throw more monsters.
>>291713940I mean she went from making that shit version of the Sky Fish into Quetzacotl from just talking with Laius
>>291713801>>291713816>Senshi used to be able to (more-or-less) freely explore the lowest floorThistle HAD to know about this guy. I guess he came to the conclusion that Senshi was harmless, but with this context, it's a bit surprising Senshi didn't know about the Golden Kingdom. The brewer even mentioned that he sells beer to the orcs sometimes.
>>291712409they're atomized enough so that the dwarves who built the stuff like the trolleys and city inside the Merini dungeon are not the same assholes who tried to destroy the Golden Kingdom.
>>291713981Maybe the GK ghosts only started reaching out to the orcs after the dungeon shift thing happened?
>>291713816
>>291713938No, the "entrance" the dwarfs dug closed behind them. That cave was probably the way the orcs used to enter the dungeon, it might be the back door Flamela mentioned though.
>>291713967I think as a dungeon master you just get to summon whatever you like, and things seem to have a general template they follow considering the Canaries have seen it before whereas the skyfish was new.
>>291713399>>291713505>>291713594>>291713621Could Dwarves in this setting be Russian or some other Eastern European? Senshi atleast seems to have been born on the North Eastern part of the content, and the attire of the Dwarves Kui drew have a kind of Eurasian aesthetic.
>>291713743this sorts of robe >>291713701 >>291712123 works best with a bush, just saying
>>291714015The orcs had wine during Senshi's flashback, so I don't think that's the case. Maybe they didn't consider him trustworthy enough to tell him.
>>291714063>lots of evil ones>aggressive ruthless barbarians>mobsters>Namari's dad leeched off public money while holding office
>>291713804From Horse
>>291714063I don't see any reason to think that dwarves have a singular "ethnicity". Especially when other races like tallmen and oni don't either
>>291712066>Marcille 1>almost all chapter titles are about the meal that's eaten in that chapteroh no
>>291714141do they just jerk off the horse into a bucket or do they let it fuck one of those mounts with a sac inside to collect the sperm
>>291713790>Kui constantly sexualizes this character, who is based on her neighbor.hmmmmm...
>>291714152I thought Oni in this setting were uniquely Mongol inspired, since we dont really see any variants outside of Shuro's homeland.
>>291713998It's like how say the British had trains and telephones and early cars in 1900 and some random village in Eastern Europe had none of those and was attacking their neighbors for food in the same year
>>291714141What do fairies even do besides acting as a phone?
>>291714187They're basically just fancier transponder snails
>>291712092Yeah, the elves stirred things up by going ashore. Good job guys.
>>291714179Some of the ogres live in the Western continent. Kui also drew portraits of ogres and some of them appear redheaded or pale haired unlike Japanese people
>>291712069>>291712092>>291712123>Hello, magic engineers, we need a network to connect the Elf, Dwarf, and Gnome kingdoms.>No problem. What standardized communication method are we using?>We need the network to connect crystal balls, steampunk landline phones, and birds.>...birds?>Birds, yes. The elf queen refuses to use any other method of communication.>Ugh, well I GUESS audio between the three...>Video too. Gnomes say they need to see their faces.>Video?>Yes.>You want me to rig up a network that can transmit video from a bird to a crystal ball? How do you expect me to do that?>Well, birds have eyes, don't they? Nature did half the job for you.>RGFGERRGFFRFGREAAGFRFAAGFRRRAAAAAAAA
>>291713294Why the fuck would Senshi be japanese
>>291714179
>>291712069Sex with obsidian hag elf!
>>291714254>japanese name>looks like indigenous Jomon people>cooks Japanese food>hails from "the east"
>>291712123>>291712567I want to learn more about gnome culture and their interesting blend of magic and technology
>>291714285
>>291714187iirc Pattadol's fairy could transform into her staff, though who knows if that's a standard thing or some special enchantment Patty had put on.Otherwise, even just being able to use them as instant transmission telephones is useful enough, when otherwise you'd have to rely on slow ass letters, or at best, heavy crystal balls or the dwarven telephones that presumably have technological limitations.
>>291714141Only the manure comes from the horse. It only says "seminal fluid" so it's implicit it comes from a human.
>>291713424Yeah, same. Shit really hits the fan in record time, it felt like there were at least a couple of events between "Dungeon lord Marcille decides to take the fight ti the canaries" and "Elder races' council declares all is lost".
mithrun owes me his bumhole
>>291714301
>>291714263the eastern continent, where a lot of dwarves are from. Not the eastern archipelago which is the mishmash of actual asian cultures.
>>291712233>>291712257Just an incredible couple of pages. Kui's art was always good but it leveled up like crazy throughout DM's run. Also, Utaya is about to look like a picnic.
>>291712281I-I'm sure it's nothing.
>>291714301Poor gnomish codegolems...
>>291712306>t. HokazonoThanks for the dump OP
>>291714246I'm more interested in how the dwarvish phones transmit video
>>291714301Nowadays we vibecoded Golem
>>291712431
>>291714211>the elves never arrive>laios defeats thistle>the crazy mule becomes the dm>no one sees anything wrong with it because they think the winged lion is the good guy>the demon wins
>>291714179>>291714255I'm a very tall, athletic man from the Netherlands; "oni" have always been a bit to wide for me to ever sympathize with, and "elves" too small and weak, too.Basically, I'm a perfect male human.
>>291714141>40 weeksBasically a pregnancy.
>>291714381do you have a sister?
>>291713947Here's your half-foot wererabbit
>>291714367>shit golems coding other shit golems using unstable magic runes
>>291714399Yup.Ever seen "7 of 9" from Star Trek Voyager?
>>291713507>>291713640Couple threads back someone was oraising Meshi for not doing the usual manga "Western fantasy-inspired setting has inexplicable Japanese cuisine and customs" bit, so it's pretty funny that Senshi made some very Japanese food (presumably what he's familiar with), and that was also what the Scandinavian,ish Laios thought of, when hearing about Marcille's Italian dishes.
>>291714397The process for the creation of a homunculus is deliberately meant to recreate the conditions of a pregnancy, that's why it requires semen and blood. The horse manure is there to replicate the warm of the womb.
>>291713688>maybe Senshi is just a worldly chef who can cook dishes from all over the worldexcept spaghetti apparently
>>291714427He's also cooked french, german, vietnamese, and italian dishes.
>>291713762>>291713899Sounds like a bit of a retcon desu, but I don't mind.
>>291713701All queens should be exhibitionists desu.
>>291713780Kui does think of everything. Still a bit weird how Namari's characterization shifts, though.
>>291714532I don't really think so, his story was always kind of suspicious given that the dungeon had only been found 'officially' six years ago. It felt like he was being deliberately vague the same way Marcille was deliberately vague about her age.
>>291713783You just know Pattadhol made her fairy's flower crown herself
>>291714532Yeah, it's definitely a retcon.>>291714553More like she overthinks everything, so when she realizes that she fucked up she has to go back and fix it as best as she can.
>>291713920That snake is gonna die of starvation within a day, but Marcille doesn't need it any longer than that.
>>291713804I figured there was probably some kind of business in elven lands that would give people default fairies (like the short haired one that both Mithrun and one of the newbie canaries have that look the same) or the 'ingredients' for one, so that the owner just needs to supply the blood so that the fairy ends up looking like them.
>>291713816Very cute. Fun to contrast with Senshi's diary, which shows quite a bit of tension he never showed to the party and that he resolved on his own anyway.
>>291713947Is sis thinking about them being hunted, or of making something useful out of her annoying little bro?
>>291714186Reminds me of the start of Kimetsu no Yaiba, where the rural setting makes it appear as if it could be Edo or even Sengoku period, then they get to the city and see electrical lighting and cars and Western clothing and it dawns that it's the Taisho period, the boonies are just that behind.
>>291714654Obviously the second.
>>291714222Wonder what a half ogre looks like. Probably like a DA:O Qunari?
>>2917142553-3 and 4-3 are cuties. Cool how 4-4 looks like a hanya mask.
>>291714711Probably, just a slightly buffer/larger tallman, maybe with little nub horns.
>>291714427Tempura isn't Japanese solely in origin, it has Portuguese origins. He does cook ramen. But Senshi also cooks Peking duck with a dragon which is Chinese, he makes risotto and gnocchi which is Italian, he makes French crepes, he makes German sauerkraut. The food is very international in dungeon meshi with a slight Japanese leaning that is likely due to the author being Japanese
>>291714301I sympathize, gnome engineers. Stupid ass clients. Also, I really love how Kui draws varied faces.
>>291714422how lovely
>>291714301They can't even escape in the modern day AU
>>291713447I think dwarves are just supposed to have words for names instead of name sounding names, and because this is a Japanese series, those words are Japanese.
>>291714755How does Senshi know the names for all those recipes though?
>>291714983Same way he knows the name for the randomly french/german/south east asian dishes he makes, probably just heard the name while researching recipes. It's not exactly meant to be 100% realistic anyway. They at one point have a relatively modern style japanese omurice looking dish at one point. Looked like Kui just wanted to put in dishes that'd be interesting/funny, regardless of origin.
>>291714983arguing about etymology in fiction is super pointless. ultimately every word in every language has an origin rooted in real history, so you can nitpick everything. how come they know the word "dragon" when it came from a french word that came from a latin word that came from greek?
>>291714983Maybe he has had cookbooks in the past
>>291714982>words for names instead of name sounding namesyou've never looked into name etymology I see
>>291713981Senshi was basically doing maintenance work on the dungeon free of charge, so it makes sense for Thistle to just let him keep doing what he's doing.
>>291714318I used to work at a maintenance shop in a mine and it's actually sad how hard it is to prevent people from overfilling thingsThe operators would always overfill hydraulic oil on loaders and when it ran hot it expand and shoot out the breathers on the tank and cause a giant fucking mess. We put decals on the tanks saying not to overfill and it just wouldn't matter
>>291713981>>291715148Also I imagine prior to Delgals escape + the dungeon opening up fully to the island, Thistle was presumably more content to stay within the GK to keep an eye on things there, and wouldn't give a shit about the orcs or one dwarf who mainly just keep to themselves, aren't trying clear the dungeon, and don't affect the dungeons ecosystem much.
>>291713981>Thistle HAD to know about this guy. He did.
>>291715398I wonder what the lions goal was here in regards to arguing with Thistle, just to buy time or did he really want to convince Thistle to meet with Laios and Co, perhaps as a quicker way for the lion to get him out of the way, rather than Thistle potentially killing them?
