I'm a little surprised that the whole party immediately rejected the idea of a life-expectancy of 1000 years. Like, not even one of them was tempted? I know in many other works of fiction (and there are examples in history too), there are people who would make any sacrifice in the name of immortality. 1000 years might not be forever, but from the perspective of a human, (or especially a halfling, which only lives to age 40) it may as well be. Especially Chilchak, who has only another ~15 years or so, he really isn't tempted by the prospect?

Does being a dungeon master in and of itself warp a person? Or is that people show their true colors when given access to the ultimate power?

Chil just wants to reconcile with his wife and spend a comfortable retirement running a store, and he's a cynic who tends to distrust things anyway. He knows better than to think this wild scheme is actually going to work, and he's already seen the misery of people with an extra thousand years of life firsthand. Besides, we've already met a halfling cranky about old folks like Chil running halfling affairs on the island and dictating what folks can do. Imagine what a thousand-year gerontocracy would do to that social system.

Senshi's all about the natural order of things, a fella who's smoothly integrated himself into the dungeon ecosystem. And he's been living a miserable, lonely, traumatized life anyway, which is why he's been hiding out in the dungeon all this time - he doesn't feel like he can return to society anymore. He's got little use for life extension. Besides, he distrusts the hell outta magic.

It seems like the demons seek out people who have warped desires already. The more ridiculous and unrealistic the dream they're devoted to, the more they'll rely on the demon's power to make it happen. Marcille wanted this whole life extension thing from the start, that's why she was studying illegal ancient magic.

Also the stated method for achieving her goal is infinite dungeon expansion, and even (or especially?) a monster nut like Laios can tell you that dungeons are dangerous at the best of times.

So I'm dumb as hell. I thought the author of Dungeon Meshi also wrote and did the story of Frieren at the Funeral, but she did a different comic with a similar premise,Ryuu no Gakkou wa Yama no Ue. At least it led me to Frieren!

Edit: and I continue this dumbassery by confusing the threads.

Crossover would be fun. Imagine the conversations between Frieren and Marcille about magic and lifespans.

They just ate, so Senshi would be against it, and since the Kraken, Laios doesn't like cephalopods.

I'm more worried about Izutsumi telling Chilchak that maybe he won't make it to the surface.Considering he's the oldest (for his lifespan) of the party, and that he told them what he would like to do for retirement, the death flags are pilling up.

A lot of the humor in Dungeon Meshi is stuff that happens quietly in the background. I wonder how they will try to animate that.

The Little Witch Academia anime was wholesome though :3:, and, if they do this one, I'm sure Dungeon Meshi will be too.

She has what would be the default outfit for Queen of Elves in most of fantasy settings, but in Dungeon Meshi it just looks utterly ridiculous and its great. :allears:

Otherwise it's just short and nice chapter to further demonstrate just how hard did the poo poo just hit the fan.
