Ep. 2: Senshi teaches cooking basilisk and mandrakes while Chilchuck navigates traps

2

Senshi lectures the group on the poor diet of adventurers, noting it is high in fat and low on vegetables. When Marcille craves meat, Senshi suggests hunting a basilisk and its eggs. During the hunt, another adventurer is poisoned, but Senshi demonstrates that eating the basilisk acts as an antidote. To obtain vegetables, Senshi harvests screaming mandrakes using a shortcut method. Marcille attempts to show the proper harvesting technique but fails and is attacked by a bat monster. Laios comforts her by highlighting her strengths. Senshi learns that the correct method makes mandrakes sweeter and credits Marcille for the lesson, cooking an omelette with basilisk eggs and mandrakes. As the group moves to the next floor, Chilchuck leads through an area full of booby traps. Senshi enjoys setting off traps and repurposes fire and hot oil traps into a fryer to make kakiage with mandrake and bat meat. Chilchuck teaches Senshi to manipulate traps in exchange for cookery skills, improving their mutual appreciation.
