**[00:00] Asuka**
H-Hey... Doesn't this mean...
**[00:03] Asuka**
Seriously?
**[00:04] Mutsu**
Look. The end of the rope...
**[00:07] Mutsu**
If it's over there, that means...
***SIGN*** Rabbit Tasting
**[00:11] Mutsu**
it's... still alive... right?
***SIGN*** Are You Lost?
***SIGN*** Are You Lost?
**[01:21] Mutsu**
I...
**[01:22] Mutsu**
I'm... going to try to do it!
**[01:28] Asuka**
A-Are you sure?
**[01:30] Asuka**
I'm gonna pull it.
**[01:33] Asuka**
There might really be a rabbit there!
**[01:36] Mutsu**
Y...
**[01:39] Mutsu**
Yes!
**[01:46] Mutsu**
*A rabbit!*
**[01:47] Asuka**
*We really caught one!*
**[01:51] Asuka**
This is crazy...
**[01:52] Asuka**
This is crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
**[01:54] Asuka**
Let's go get Homare!
**[01:56] Mutsu**
W-We can't!
**[01:57] Mutsu**
It might get away...
**[02:02] Mutsu**
We have to do it ourselves!
**[02:29] Mutsu**
Why... Why won't you die?
**[02:37] Asuka**
You're not athletic. Quit trying so hard.
**[02:41] Asuka**
I can't handle the idea
of killing animals either...
**[02:45] Asuka**
But...
**[02:47] Asuka**
I can't watch you cry, Mutsu.
**[02:58] Shion**
There wasn't a rabbit in the trap.
**[03:01] Homare**
No. We ended up wasting energy.
**[03:04] Shion**
Yeah...
**[03:04] Asuka**
Hey!
**[03:08] Girls**
We got one!
**[03:17] Homare**
Good work. Both of you.
**[03:20] Asuka**
I'm so shaky I feel like I'm about to collapse.
**[03:23] Mutsu**
If Asuka-san hadn't been there,
it would have gotten away.
**[03:28] Homare**
One head of rabbit.
**[03:29] Homare**
This will provide us quite a lot of food.
**[03:31] Homare**
We can grill it, and if there's
any left, we can dry the meat.
**[03:34] Mutsu**
You don't use "head" to count rabbits...
**[03:36] Homare**
First we'll make a knife for breaking it down.
**[03:39] Girls**
W-We're starting there?
**[03:42] Homare**
When animals die, their
organs decompose quickly,
**[03:45] Homare**
so we have to retrieve them quickly.
**[03:47] Homare**
At this temperature, the meat will
go bad in about an hour, but...
**[03:53] Homare**
in this water temperature,
it should last a little longer.
**[03:55] Asuka**
Good. There's no way we're wasting that meat.
**[03:58] Shion**
So what are we going to do about a knife?
**[04:02] Homare**
We'll make a stone knife.
***SIGN*** Stone?
**[04:04] Asuka**
Stone?
***SIGN*** Stone?
**[04:04] Shion**
Stone?
***SIGN*** Stone?
**[04:05] Mutsu**
Stone?
**[04:08] Homare**
You tap rocks together like this and pick
the stone that makes the highest noise.
**(Flashback) [04:17] Jouichi**
When you hit the edges like this
**(Flashback) [04:19] Jouichi**
it chips like a seashell, you see?
**[04:24] Homare**
Carefully, a little at a time...
**[04:32] Shion**
*I wonder if I have a knack for this.*
***SIGN*** Irritated
***SIGN*** Tap Tap
***SIGN*** Tap Tap
**[04:36] Shion**
*What should I do?*
**[04:37] Shion**
*Everyone's so focused it's hard to say anything...*
**[04:41] Homare**
That'll do it.
**[04:43] Homare**
Now, to get to work.
**[04:44] Mutsu**
Um! Homare-san!
**[04:46] Mutsu**
I... want to try breaking down the carcass!
**[04:49] Mutsu**
I was useless when we had to kill it!
**[04:52] Asuka**
Are you serious, Mutsu?
**[04:55] Homare**
I see.
**[04:56] Homare**
Rabbits are mammals, but breaking
them down is fairly simple.
**[04:59] Homare**
You should try it.
**[05:00] Mutsu**
O-Okay!
**[05:07] Mutsu**
So... I should cut here?
**[05:12] Homare**
Mutsu. If you put the blade in
like that, you'll cut into the organs
**[05:15] Homare**
and ruin the meat.
**[05:18] Homare**
Pinch and pull, and try to cut just that part.
**[05:20] Mutsu**
O-Okay!
**[05:26] Homare**
Hey, now. Are you all right?
**[05:29] Homare**
Next, put the blade inside
and face it outwards.
**[05:32] Homare**
Cut towards the tail.
**[05:38] Homare**
That's right.
**[05:39] Homare**
Just like that.
**[05:41] Homare**
Remove the organs.
**[05:46] Mutsu**
I... I-I...
**[05:48] Mutsu**
I did it...
**[05:49] Homare**
Next, you have to skin it, but...
**[05:52] Homare**
Should I take over?
**[05:53] Mutsu**
No! Please let me do the whole thing!
**[05:56] Mutsu**
I think I'm starting to get used to it...
**[05:59] Mutsu**
and I'm learning a lot!
**[06:01] Homare**
I see. Then, let's continue.
**[06:04] Homare**
Next, we'll remove the head and feet.
**[06:07] Homare**
We can't cut through bone,
so feel for the joints and cut there.
**[06:11] Mutsu**
Okay!
**[06:16] Mutsu**
I...
**[06:17] Mutsu**
I did it!
**[06:19] Asuka**
That's amazing! It really looks like meat!
**[06:22] Shion**
It... It really does.
**[06:25] Asuka**
So how do we cook it?
Just grill the whole thing?
**[06:28] Homare**
Good question.
**[06:29] Shion**
When I went to the south of France
on a family vacation, I had lièvre!
**[06:37] Shion**
First, the chef came to the table
and showed us the rabbit
**[06:41] Shion**
saying, "I will be preparing this."
**[06:44] Shion**
Of course, he used every part of the rabbit
**[06:46] Shion**
making soup from the bones...
**[06:48] Shion**
There were even courses that
used the blood and marrow.
**[06:51] Shion**
Couldn't we do something like that?
**[06:53] Mutsu**
I don't think so.
**[06:55] Homare**
First, we should probably cut it up soon.
**[06:58] Shion**
With the meat we can make lièvre à la vapeur.
**[07:00] Shion**
We can make soupe de lièvre.
**[07:03] Shion**
Today we'll have French cuisine for dinner!
**[07:07] Shion**
Now, everyone. Let's get ready.
**[07:09] Shion**
S'il vous plait!
**[07:11] Asuka**
All of a sudden she's giving orders...
**[07:12] Shion**
Let's see. For ingredients we have rabbit meat...
**[07:15] Shion**
salt made from seawater...
**[07:17] Shion**
and leopard plant stems.
**[07:18] Asuka**
Hey, teacher! I don't think we have
enough ingredients or equipment!
**[07:22] Shion**
No complaints!
**[07:24] Shion**
You can do it if you put your mind to it!
**[07:25] Shion**
First, vapeur... that is,
we'll steam the meat, but...
**[07:29] Homare**
In that case, I know a method
I read in a UK special forces manual.
**[07:34] Shion**
That doesn't sound reassuring...
***SIGN*** Are You Lost?
**[07:37] Homare**
I see!
**[07:40] Homare**
First, cut the meat along
the backbone and break it in half.
**[07:43] Homare**
Cut off the front and back legs...
**[07:46] Homare**
then debone all the pieces.
**[07:49] Mutsu**
Oh, it's all messy...
**[07:52] Shion**
It is lacking in elegance, isn't it?
**[07:55] Mutsu**
This is my first time with
French food and rabbit meat!
**[07:59] Mutsu**
Plus, all I have to work with is a stone knife!
**[08:02] Shion**
I'm sorry! It just slipped out...
**[08:04] Asuka**
Mucchan, you're scary.
***SIGN*** Are You Lost?
***SIGN*** Leopard Plant
***SIGN*** Leaves
Roast over a fire and massage
to release juices.
Use for bruises, cuts, swelling, etc.
Stems
Edible once astringency is removed
Use in tsukudani, soup, pickles, etc.
Roots
Dry and store
Use for upset stomachs, diarrhea,
food poisoning, etc.
**[08:06] Girls**
I see.
**[08:09] Homare**
First, dig a pit.
**[08:11] Homare**
Line it with hot rocks.
**[08:14] Homare**
Cover it with sand.
**[08:17] Homare**
Lay out some leaves.
**[08:19] Homare**
Wrap the rabbit meat in leopard
plant leaves and place them inside.
**[08:24] Homare**
Lay more leaves on top and
cover with more rocks.
**[08:28] Homare**
We'll light a fire on top of the rocks.
**[08:31] Homare**
It should take about 50 to 60 minutes.
**[08:33] Shion**
But how will we keep track of the time?
**[08:36] Homare**
Huh?
**[08:40] Homare**
Once the shadow has moved 15 degrees
away from this rock, it's been an hour.
**[08:44] Shion**
*A kitchen timer?*
**[08:46] Asuka**
*Who'd have expected a sundial?*
**[08:48] Mutsu**
Then, while we're waiting, we can make soup.
**[08:51] Mutsu**
We use heat to get stock from the bones...
**[08:53] Mutsu**
Use salt for the seasoning, and...
**[08:56] Mutsu**
Were there any other ingredients?
**[08:57] Shion**
When I had it, there was zucchini in it.
**[09:00] Asuka**
Do you think we have any zucchini?
**[09:03] Shion**
These leopard plant stems.
Do you think we could add them?
**[09:06] Mutsu**
Let's try it!
***SIGN*** Are You Lost?
**[09:08] Asuka**
Really?
**[09:11] Homare**
It's probably about ready.
**[09:14] Shion**
I wonder if it worked.
**[09:16] Shion**
I'll try opening one.
**[09:17] Asuka**
Hurry up! Hurry up!
**[09:19] Asuka**
It's hot!
**[09:19] Mutsu**
It doesn't seem burned...
**[09:25] Shion**
It smells delicious! I think it worked!
**[09:28] Mutsu**
Let's lay out the soup and eat it over here!
**[09:31] Mutsu**
At first I thought Shion-san's
idea was impossible,
**[09:35] Mutsu**
but it looks like it might work out!
**[09:37] Asuka**
French food in a place like this.
**[09:39] Asuka**
None of the rest of us would've thought of it!
**[09:41] Asuka**
It looks super yummy!
**[09:43] Shion**
Right? I said we could do it
if we put our minds to it!
**[09:46] Girls**
Thank you for the food!
**[09:51] Asuka**
It's so good!
**[09:52] Shion**
Soup from the south of France!
**[09:54] Asuka**
It tastes like mizutaki!
**[09:55] Shion**
It's soup from southern France.
**[09:57] Asuka**
Oh, uh... right.
**[09:58] Shion**
But, you know, this broth is really nice.
**[10:01] Mutsu**
Yes! It's light and delicious!
**[10:03] Asuka**
Homare, would it be okay
to eat the meat now...
**[10:06] Asuka**
You're already eating it!
**[10:07] Homare**
Huh?
**[10:09] Asuka**
Hey. What's rabbit like? What's it taste like?
**[10:12] Homare**
Huh?
**[10:13] Homare**
It... tastes like rabbit...
**[10:16] Asuka**
Fine! I'll just try it myself!
**[10:20] Asuka**
*So good!*
**[10:22] Mutsu**
*It's like chicken! It's so tender!*
**[10:26] Shion**
*It's so juicy! Delicious!*
**[10:31] Girls**
*We love meat!*
**[10:36] Girls**
*It's delicious!*
**[10:38] Girls**
*Meat is the best!*
**[10:44] Asuka**
That was so good...
**[10:45] Homare**
We ended up eating all of it,
so we couldn't preserve any.
**[10:50] Mutsu**
Well, we were all hungry, so...
**[10:53] Shion**
This is the first time since
coming to this island that I'm full.
**[11:17] Asuka**
Thank you. It was delicious.
**[12:25] Mutsu**
Next time, Case 7:
"Exploring the Island."
