Chapter summaries

These summaries are mostly for my own reference because I have a terrible memory for what happens in which chapter. The volume summaries are taken from here (with a few minor corrections).

Volume 1

Synopsis: When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions...and a member! They're eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they're sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: "Let's eat the monsters!" Slimes, basilisks, and even dragon...none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

Chapter 1: Hot Pot

Intro, Falin is eaten, the crew decides to eat monsters. They meet Senshi and have scorpion, like and mushroom hotpot.

Chapter 2: Tart

The crew goes to the second level (forest). They fight man eating plants and make tart.

Chapter 3: Roast Basilisk

The crew saves two adventurers from a basilisk and roast it with medicinal herbs.

Chapter 4: Omelet

The crew harvests mandrakes and have a run in with giant bats. They make mandrake and Basilisk egg omelettes.

Chapter 7: Living Armor -2-

The crew defeat the living armour and cook the mollusc inside. Laois acquires Kensuke.

Volume 2

Synopsis: With the possibility of starvation as a constant companion, Laios' party continues advancing deeper into the dungeon. The adventurers have made it to the third floor, but only rotting zombies, ghastly spirits, living paintings, and golems await them―all of which are absolutely inedible. The party has come this far by adapting and learning how to live off the dubious bounties of the dungeon. But how will they manage when even the meanest monster won't make a decent meal?

Chapter 8: Stewed Cabbage

The crew arrive at Senshi's base camp. They harvest vegetables from the golems and have stewed cabbage.

Chapter 13: Boiled in Salt Water

The crew makes camp. Chilchuck notices a potential mimic and accidentally defeats it on his own. They boil and eat it.

Chapter 14: Kelpie

The crew reaches the fourth level (water). Marcille's water walking doesn'tw ork on Senshi. He tries to ride a Kelpie but it tries to eat him. They defeat it, Marcille makes soap and washes Senshi's hair. Now they can use the water walking spell.

Volume 3

Synopsis: The dungeon is no place for the faint of heart, and neither is the kitchen! At least, not when whatever dungeon creature comes your way is what's on the menu! As Laios and his party journey deeper into the dungeon, the danger likewise intensifies as they encounter wily mermaids, massive krakens, and irritable undines. But living rough doesn't mean not eating responsibly! The ecosystem of the dungeon exists in a delicate balance between predator and prey-the hungry travelers just need to make sure they're on the right side of the scales!

Chapter 15: Porridge

Kabru's group is resurrected by corpse retrievers. They find Marcille's hair and head down to try and find Laois' crew. They get defeated by mermaids (fish type). Laios' group finds them and puts them on shore. They take their spilled grain and make porridge with mimic meat, kelp and mermaid eggs.

The crew rests while Laois recovers. Marcille flashes back to magic school, where she met Falin. Falin showed her a developing dungeon.

Volume 4

Synopsis: The adventurously eating adventurers have finally reached the abandoned orc village where the red dragon was last spotted―and, from the charred and crumbling evidence, where it is still active and on the prowl! No matter the risks, Laios is determined to recover whatever's left of Falin and resurrect her, but taking down the massive red dragon will be no easy task, even on a full stomach! Someone's going to wind up on the menu, but will it be red dragon steak or flame-grilled adventurer?!
