Story transcript

Frieren: ...A little help.

Marcille: Are you okay?! Those bite marks—

Frieren: I've had worse.

Laios: The hinge muscle is still intact! Senshi, do you see the size of that tongue?

Senshi: The hinge muscle works like a scallop. Pure contraction fiber, no gristle. You want to cut along the grain or it toughens.

Senshi: The tongue's another matter. Thick enough to braise, but I think we sear it. Let the outside crust.

Laios: What about the membrane?

Senshi: Broth. It'll go translucent. Good body.

Marcille: That is a tongue. That is a chest's tongue. We are looking at a chest's tongue.

Laios: The marbling on it. Marcille, look at the marbling.

Marcille: I am not looking at the marbling.

Frieren: ...The hinge muscle. It tastes like...

Frieren: I've been in this dungeon for three days and I don't have a word for it.

Laios: Frieren, there's more broth.

Frieren: I know.

Marcille: She bit you. On the face. You are going back for seconds from the thing that bit you on the face.

Frieren: It did that to itself, really.
