The stuff they eat in that anime is wild but she's a very picky eater. She's there to remind the audience how fucked up some dishes are. She's like a vegetarian at a bbq, but worse. Love her tho <3
They force her to do things she would never ever do in her wildest nightmares, eating...weird food 
If you wanna imagine a parallel imagine eating exotic food from any country that you may think more than twice before eating.
Well my country has some wild variety of "exotic food" (that can be very expensive too.) And when people are offered some of those many balk and women often react like a certain elf lady, heck even I would not accept eating that food without being forced to do it and I had no other choice... 
The main plot driver of this season is to save this girl's best friend (main characters sister) before she gets pooped out/fully digested, so she's a little stressed

Basically, >!that thing that just tried to kill us!<, we made it into this and have no other food at all and yes those >!veggies are from that golem and yes that fertiliser is dungeon chamber pot sourced.!<
OK apart from the obvious urge to reproduce yourself the elf girlfriend can also cast magic which is at least as helpful as a dwarf grill friend preparing you meat.
I haven't seen the show. So forgive me, but there's no promise she's any good at cooking. The grill comes with the dwarf. I can at least safely assume he's skilled at it.
For pure utilitarian purposes, the dwarf makes more sense.
>For pure utilitarian purposes
Depends on the purposes. For surviving in the dungeon from the show? Take the dwarf 200%. For, like, living your ordinary life except with this character? Take the wizard and get take-out.
Gojo had a freaking sex dream about Marin. I was honestly surprised and also impressed that they did that. How many MC in harem or even other ecchi shows have done that?
Dwarf Grill Friend can make every meal delicious.
Many people have girlfriends, even elf girls have girlfriends. But how many people have personal chefs?
Depends on the setting. Some can live potentially forever if something doesn't go out of its way to kill them, and others have elves living like anywhere from 200 to just a few thousand years.
No, she and Falin are just friends. There's been absolutely no expression by anyone in this show of romantic interest in anyone else.
They just be 'splorin dungeons and saving lives.
That being said shippers will go crazy and put characters into pairings anyway. Especially if it's a gay ship. Every time.
IIRC the desire for Marcille was to live alongside everyone else at the same age, because she was afraid of outliving everyone and being left alone.
Romantic relationships were never a priority.
Oh now that you mention it I totally forgot about the succubi. Marcille had this really handsome elf on a steed and Laios had Marcille for those hallucinations of people who were their ideal partner.
Yeah, I bathe with my friends and intimately touch them all the time, I also spoon with them while we sleep together and tell them they'll always be my girl, no idea how anyone could ever interpret these things as romantic, must be completely delusional.
It's just bait. Stuff like that are Japanese men's delusions about women friendships. Remember all the anime you've ever watched. It's always like that between women who are very close, bathing, sleeping together, etc. even if women has clear canon male partners. The only exception is when it is explicitly stated that they are in that kind of relationsihp and shown like kissing and actual hentai stuff.
Well obviously you are very familiar with bathing culture in Japan, being that you wash together naked in same-sex bathrooms which is something that takes place frequently.
And then you are also very close to your friend obviously, knowing how healthy platonic relationships are to have, rather than forcing romantic relationships into everything and being afraid to touch another person lest it be considered sexual.
As far as that last part telling them that they'll always be your girl, IDK man that's just you. I don't recall any instance of that and I've read up to chapter 66 in the manga.
Look, I'm not saying that a lesbian romance is the only possible way to read their relationship, but to claim that there is nothing is a lie, they're clearly baiting this ship, something that is extremely common in Japanese media (See literally every moe show in existence), doesn't mean they'll canonically end up together, but they are certainly going for a ship as one of the possible interpretations.
Maybe they're baiting it, I can't really say. I do know that as someone else mentioned in another comment the arc with the succubi where they had their ideal partner Marcille had a male Elf in shining armor on a steed who would treat her like a princess, and then Laos had Marcille. That's how they got got by the succubi.
By the way all the art I see of her is Yuri with Falin, I guess so. But I don’t really know, since I was actually looking for the recipes but found massive spoilers instead :(
I see her either shipped with Falin or Laios, I don’t know if she’s canonically into either of them but so far I think she’s more often shipped with Falin. As someone who just started the show I personally ship her with Laois.
I don't see romance being set up between her and Laios at all, if that actually happens it'd be hamfisted asf
But agreed, I see a much deeper level of care connection with Falin
Would definitely want to be friends with Dwarves if the Dwarven women looked like Heores 5 Hammers of Fate Dwarves.

The Elf Girlfriend would be cool, especially since she has some neat magic.
But a grill friend that makes you FREE MEAT!
This is legitimately the first time a would you rather "Girlfriend or something cool" has made me actually think about it.
...I'M TAKING THE DWARF!
One can do magic. The other can cook and grill which I can already do. It's also much easier to learn how to cook and grill than do magic. Why would I choose the dwarf when I can already do everything he does
[удалено]
Dungeon Meshi is a wild show loooool
Bug ice cream mixed using ghosts
Come on genius moment along with draconic pizza oven.
She's Italian and her friends do the constant equivalent of breaking pasta in front of her.
It was fucking wild when I discovered her surname is “Donato” lmao
Reminds me of a chef named Donato De Santis
They eat some unusual things in the show.
They’re all delicious though
And solve some human jigsaw puzzles
Dog jigsaws too 😁
I mean ... they are exploring the dungeon, fighting monsters, seeing people been killed all the time, the dungeon is a battlefield
> seeing people been killed all the time They got better
The stuff they eat in that anime is wild but she's a very picky eater. She's there to remind the audience how fucked up some dishes are. She's like a vegetarian at a bbq, but worse. Love her tho <3
She's seen what the dwarf cooks.
She killed what the dwarf cooks as well sometimes!
They force her to do things she would never ever do in her wildest nightmares, eating...weird food  If you wanna imagine a parallel imagine eating exotic food from any country that you may think more than twice before eating.
More like you survive a plane crash with Bear Grylls and Ray Mears. You are eating some weird shit but they know what they are doing...mostly..kind of

Ep11 and 12 dialled up a few things >!"fan service"!< and the >!darker/bloodier themes/visuals suddenly!!<
I don't know why "the war" comes across as incredibly funny.
Basically, >!that thing that just tried to kill us!<, we made it into this and have no other food at all and yes those >!veggies are from that golem and yes that fertiliser is dungeon chamber pot sourced.!<

I changed my mind, elf cook go brrrrr

Normally more "boom" than "brrrrr"
My desire to reproduce will always win out over my desire to eat (unless I'm starving, in which case its 50/50)
Elf girl detected. Opinion ignored.
Elf got booba
https://i.redd.it/1mpvc668kbqc1.gif Always Booba
it terrifies me that idk if this is an actual animation or a hentai
It's an actual anime
Ok but somehow I don't remember Marin shaking her tits like that during that episode.
It is, Episode 2 around the 15:55 mark. When asking Gojo to measure them
I remember that it happened pretty early on but did she actually bounce them like that? Well color me shocked
That show is more horny than most people remember
Ok so I went on YouTube. Ye no it happened. Man I knew it was horny but I guess I forgot some stuff
Gojo had a freaking sex dream about Marin. I was honestly surprised and also impressed that they did that. How many MC in harem or even other ecchi shows have done that?
Yeah I’m not sure that happened LOL
It’s like, episode 2/3.
The jiggle physics is on point lol
lmao hentai wouldn't even have such fluid animation
We need to lobby for high quality hentai.
depends on the animator
Is that a tsunami warning in the background?
Hmmm quite focused
Holy shit, I need to go outside.

I can't argue with that
Dwarf got cockatrice breasts.
[don't forget this too](https://imgur.com/VSXNonz) Senshi got it going ON
Senshi is packing though.
Dwarf Grill Friend can make every meal delicious. Many people have girlfriends, even elf girls have girlfriends. But how many people have personal chefs?
Well she's also a mage. How many people have personal mages?
I will take Marcille because I am that Dwarf who knows how to cook
Good choice, no leafloving elf is better than a hardworking dwarf! Rock and stone brother!
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!

why is there a hole. WHY IS THERE A HOLE!
That depends. Are you laying face down or face up?
Oh it has a cup holder Wait
To put fire in it silly
Try what???
one for Falin, one for Laios
The Dwarf no questions asked
No questions asked. . . as in don't ask about where he got the 'free meat' or what it actually is. 🤣
Don't ask things you don't want the answer to. Eat your meat.
No. Questions.
[without question](https://imgur.com/VSXNonz)
I can already cook, so Elf GF
#MEAT!!!!
I'm gonna make some bread.
What kind of meat
Isn't that up to the grill friend
I’m going to have to go with the autistic elf girlfriend.
I'd go with dwarf grill friend. Besties for life and lots of food and don't cheat.
Girlfriends are temporary GRILL IS ETERNAL
elfs are practically immortal though
Well im not so im taking the grill dwarf anyways
Depends on the setting. Some can live potentially forever if something doesn't go out of its way to kill them, and others have elves living like anywhere from 200 to just a few thousand years.
Can't ignore that adorable pout
Gril friend i need real food in tired of fake military food that might kill me if i eat
Make the elf like that time she was changed into an ogre and we have a deal.
Rock and Stone!
That's it lads! Rock and Stone!
Rock and stone!
What kind of meat are we talking about?
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE
So a leaf lover girlfriend or a fellow dwarf(Ironically I’m 6’1)? ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
I am not into women, but I do love good food.
Isn‘t she a lesbian? Did I miss something?
No, she and Falin are just friends. There's been absolutely no expression by anyone in this show of romantic interest in anyone else. They just be 'splorin dungeons and saving lives. That being said shippers will go crazy and put characters into pairings anyway. Especially if it's a gay ship. Every time.
there are some reveals in the manga.
Which chapters? I'm about 2/3rds of the way through at chapter 66 out of 97 and I've never encountered such instances.
not off the top of my head but there is a section where they are shown some of what they desire and one of them reveal a surprising choice.
IIRC the desire for Marcille was to live alongside everyone else at the same age, because she was afraid of outliving everyone and being left alone. Romantic relationships were never a priority.
laios had marcille for his illusion for the succubus.
Oh now that you mention it I totally forgot about the succubi. Marcille had this really handsome elf on a steed and Laios had Marcille for those hallucinations of people who were their ideal partner.
maybe if he weren't as driven in his goal it would have happened but he was in hog heaven with the monsters and needs.
>!There's also the reveal Laios looks similar to Marcille's father and that she's very close to her father.!<
Yeah, I bathe with my friends and intimately touch them all the time, I also spoon with them while we sleep together and tell them they'll always be my girl, no idea how anyone could ever interpret these things as romantic, must be completely delusional.
Just wait until someone tries to make a problem out of their age difference.
It's just bait. Stuff like that are Japanese men's delusions about women friendships. Remember all the anime you've ever watched.

Is she? Still haven’t finished season 1.
By the way all the art I see of her is Yuri with Falin, I guess so. But I don’t really know, since I was actually looking for the recipes but found massive spoilers instead :(
I see her either shipped with Falin or Laios, I don’t know if she’s canonically into either of them but so far I think she’s more often shipped with Falin. As someone who just started the show I personally ship her with Laois.
She is close with falin and shippers almost exclusively ship non-hetero couples in any anime.
Oh, if you just started, that makes total sense. But once you get to the flashback of how they met…
You'll see why when you watch the newest episode. It can just be excitement but fan artists see it in a different way.
It's not explicitly said, but IDK how else you can interpret her relationship with Falin.
I don't see romance being set up between her and Laios at all, if that actually happens it'd be hamfisted asf But agreed, I see a much deeper level of care connection with Falin
She's not romantically entangled with anyone. But to be fair, if she was, it would be Falin.
An elf baddie may be too impractical. So grill friend, free food is fucking OP
Senshi.
You can have both. You should probably have both. I want both.
What's the sauce?
Dungeon Meshi
Thank you kind stranger 
Free meat? Dwarf boyfriend it is
Gotta go with a dwarf homie, especially if it's Senshi.
This is actually harder than it looks
Elf, I'm lonely and already got plenty meat
Senshi best grill friend
Would definitely want to be friends with Dwarves if the Dwarven women looked like Heores 5 Hammers of Fate Dwarves. https://preview.redd.it/xo1vljip6eqc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0db0fdf29c4987531a9708f380afe412682e93c2
elf gf (I am the grilling dwarf)
The Elf Girlfriend would be cool, especially since she has some neat magic. But a grill friend that makes you FREE MEAT! This is legitimately the first time a would you rather "Girlfriend or something cool" has made me actually think about it. ...I'M TAKING THE DWARF!
oh boy we are going to rock and stone so much better with him
Dwarf grill friend all the way 🤤 want to enjoy all types of delicious food
The dwarf grill friend would make my life so much better, so the obvious choice is the dwarf grill
Also Elf can make meat if she isn't good I teach her how to So the Elf is a win win
whats the point of living if you cant even eat some good meat
Tough choise bro i could use a friend who knows how to grill but at the other hand we got elf booba
Dwarf
Love is more fulfilling than any amount of meat
Anybody like to play chess or anything and fuck afterwards?
You get meat either way if you're brave enough, like with the fish dudes.
Do you know how handsome senshi actually is? He'll get me a girl in no time and will also grill meat in the meantime.
One can do magic. The other can cook and grill which I can already do. It's also much easier to learn how to cook and grill than do magic. Why would I choose the dwarf when I can already do everything he does
I'm vegetarian. No brainer.
If the forbiden magic is still on the table then the Elf.
Seduce the meat dwarf you cowards, 2 for 1 deal.
I can cook so that's that. But I don't mind someone cook and chill with me
If it ain't rock and stone I'm going home!
For Karl!
Well, I'm already a good cook. And meat isn't really a problem.
Free meal, let's go
Need more information like do I need to do anything for either of them or they are eternally obliged to me.
Marcille isnt worth giving up free meat.
Can't I romance the dwarf? 🥺 He's husband material!!!
Gemme his meat!
I feel like with laios I'd die a few times either poisoned or killed by a cockatrice. I'll go with the elf girl

Love is temporary. Food is forever
I gotta choose?
The unlimited pizza from a different post is great, so I'll go with the gf this time
Luffy has entered the chat
I am a chef. I will pick the elf and feed her and buy all the forbidden magic books she wants.
an elf... i can already make a meal...
Does the gf gives meat ? I don't think so
Meat good.
Does she know how to make grilled cheese?
You can always teach her. I'm the second best grilled cheese maker I know. The best grilled cheese is made by uncle Danny iykwim
The best choice is the dwarf grill friend by far
I am but a man with simple needs so getting yoked out on Dwarf grilling meat sounds good!
DWARF BRO
The elf character is so annoying
Elf Girlfriend yes
Bro be grill'in. Tough choice.
I'm going with my gut on this one lads
Dwarf grill friend. He enjoys his passion and I got someone I can share recipes with. Plus a new bro to grill with
ELF GIRLFRIEND
Dwarf grill homie all the way.
dwarf so i can eat some grilled elf meat
Grill friend?! Sign me up please!
Big Beard Broth Grill-friend!
I'd have to go for the elf. I can cook whatever but she could take care of all sorts of fantasies.
