Going From Watching The Life Series From Joel's Perspective To Grian's Is Actually Such Whiplash.

Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."

Senshi Revealed in Five Keywords

5 keywords section from the Adventurer's Bible, this is transcribed from the EHScans translation for more info you can check this post. My own notes will be at the end of the post.

1. Griffin Soup

One of the more memorable episodes from Senshi's past. Hopelessly lost inside the dungeon, Senshi's companions were killed off by monsters one by one as tempers began to flare within the party. When it was finally down to Senshi and Gillin, was the soup that Gillin prepared really made of meat from a Griffin he had killed, as he had claimed…?

To solve this mystery and honor the memory of his lost companions, Senshi set out on a solo trip into the dungeon, but the 4th floor was too difficult for him to overcome on his own. And it was in the midst of these troubles that he ran into Laios' party…

2. Gillin's Mining Crew

Senshi's parents passed away from sickness and an accident when he was only 22 years old*. With nowhere to go, he was taken in by Gillin. Afterward, he ended up joining Gillin's newly founded mining

crew. Senshi struggled internally because he didn't possess the drive to strike it rich through ancient technologies or mining like other dwarves. He wasn't very good at playing along with dwarven ribbing like "Do you really have iron running through your veins?", and his relationship with the other party members could be described as tepid at best.

3. Orcs

Senshi first began eating monsters when he was under the care of the orcs, because it was commonplace in their village. He also learned how to identify poisonous mushrooms, as well as other monster knowledge from the orcs.

4. Ten Years of Monster Cooking

When he first met Laios, Senshi said that he had been "researching monster cuisine for 10 years." The truth is, he couldn't remember how long it had been since the dungeon was discovered, and just made up a random number on the spot. In fact, Senshi had been living in the dungeon for over 50 years, and was already a veteran adventurer.

5. Anne

Senshi bestowed the name "Anne" upon his cherished Kelpie. However, in the end, it attacked him and he was left with nothing but bitter memories. The name Anne actually came from a horse that Senshi's old mining crew had taken along with them into the dungeon during the expedition when they got lost. The dwarves butchered and ate Anne in an effort to ward off starvation; even now, the memory of that event is likely still etched deeply within Senshi's heart.

------

*I thought the wording was a little awkward here, the official translation says "Senshi lost his parents when he was twenty-two — one to an accident, the other to illness." in case anyone else found it hard to understand too. Btw 22 is the equivalent of being around 8~9yo for a tallman, so he was still a young child when he lost his parents. He was 37 when he got lost in the dungeon which would be around 14 as a tallman. (Dwarven age of maturity is 40)
