Heiter “That sounds interesting. Let’s try it, shall we? How about that each of us will speak, and the first person to laugh loses and will has to keep using that ending for a week?”

にゃん(Nyan): cat meowing. It’s the kind of ending young girls use when they speak cutely.
Eisen “Hey, all three of you… what would you like for dinner tonight, ‘daccha’?”

――――――――――――――――
I’d like to add some explanation as this might be difficult for non-Japanese speakers to understand. In Japanese conversation, the way someone ends their sentences is a major source of information about what kind of person they are. Originally, in Japanese, you can’t completely understand the meaning of sentence until you heard it to the end. You can’t even tell if it was an affirmative, negative, interrogative, or imperative sentence until you heard it all the way through. On top of that, the endings of sentences change depending on whether the speaker is male or female, or the degree of keigo (honorific language) used, and even more so, many regional dialects have different endings. When someone says something silly, people in Tokyo now sometimes intentionally use the Kansai dialect phrase “なんでやねん(Nande’yanen): Why is it?” instead of “なぜ?”, and this is due to the influence of Osaka’s comedy culture, as the Kansai dialect sounds funnier to make a retort.
The special endings used in this episode are rarely used in reality, but in manga and anime, characters are often given intentionally unique endings to express their personality. There’s a famous Nintendo game called Animal Crossing, as you may know, and in the Japanese version, each character speaks with their own unique endings, and sometimes one character’s ending becomes popular and other characters start using it too. I don’t think the English version has this feature, though. In my translation this time too, it’s impossible to translate the endings, so I’ve added them in Japanese at the end.
Frieren “I have a feeling this treasure chest contains something quite valuable.”
なかなかな(Naka’naka’na): quite a, not bad, fairly, pretty =なかなかの(Naka’naka’no)

Eisen “First, as usual, Himmel and I were the first to jump into close range of the enemy, but that monster the other day had incredibly tough skin. If we jumped in and couldn’t inflict any damage, we were only putting ourselves in a difficult situation. So we had to be quick-witted there, with Frieren using magic to keep the monster at bay and also looking for an opening, while Himmel and I targeted, instead of the parts with tough skin, the backs of the joints that couldn’t be kept tough, like the elbows and knees,…”
