History Recap / DeliciousInDungeonS1E4

[[caption-width-right:1000:Fresh vegetable lnch from the golem field: stewed cabbage and turnip salad]]

* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: Downplayed. While Zon and Marcille are arguing over the racist history involving humans and orcs, Senshi tries to get everyone to focus on making their bread. Though this has less to do with keeping the peace and more because he really wants that bread.

* NatureIsNotAToy: Discussed. Senshi explains to his friends that the dungeon monsters who inhabit specific levels have their own ecosystem which they gain their food and area of living. If other monsters, or even adventurers, were to interfere with their method of living, then the monsters would be forced to invade other levels to survive. Thus disrupting the habitat of those monsters and creating a cycle of potential destruction.

* HumansByAnyOtherName: The first instance of the term "Tallman" being used to describe the story's equivalent of real-life humans, as Zon identifies Laios specifically as a tallman, while using "humans" to refer to the party as a whole.

* NoNameGiven: The chief of the orcs and his son are not given a name: while the former is revealed to be named Zon in [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]], his son remains unnamed.

The Touden Party happen to find their way back to Senshi's home base, where they're attacked by golems. To the party's surprise, those golems belong to Senshi, who uses their earthly constitution to grow healthy vegetables and crops, which the party uses to make a hearty green meal.

While the Touden Party was attempting to sell their extra crops to a seedy bar of unwanted adventurers, the place is wiped out by a band of orcs. Senshi, knowing the orcs, saves the party by offering to make the tribe a meal. Despite tensions between humans and orcs flaring up, a large bread-based feast helps them overcome their differences, and brings the party one step closer to finding the Red Dragon.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Senshi keeps the Golems alive because other than them being perfect gardens for his vegetables, they also keep the other monsters in-check.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Senshi have given the golem names; Taro, Chiro and Saburo[[note]]Literally "eldest son", "second son", and "third son" in Japanese[[/note]].
* IAteWhat: Marcille almost puked when she learned that Senshi used the waste from the restrooms as fertilizer for his vegetables. Chilchuck points out to Marcille that's just natural even on the surface.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: Zon's son doesn't harbor the hostility his father and his people have against humans and urges Zon to share bread with Laios and the others.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zon is the leader of a tribe of orcs who have no problem slaughtering a bar full of adventurers, and threatens to kill Marcille when she argues with him. However, he is (with some prodding from his son) willing to share the meal the party helped make, and he seems sympathetic enough in Laios' goal to save his sister that he tells them where the Red Dragon is, despite not wanting humans to come near his village.
* MoralMyopia: Zon keeps bringing up the fact that humanity have persecuted the Orcs and drove them to live in the dungeons. An angry Marcille calls him out had the Orcs never raided other settlements, people wouldn't have retaliated against them.
* NoNameGiven: The chief of the orcs and his son are not given a name: while the former is revealed to be Zon in [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]], his son remains unnamed.

* SkewedPriorities: Senshi cares more about making bread than saving the party from the clutches of the orcs. Justified, since he knows them personally and their cooking not only saves their lives but gives them a lead on the Red Dragon's location.
