[00:30] Eleia
    There's something our Olympics
    have that this village lacks.
[00:36] Both
    Wh-What is it?!
[00:39] Eleia
    It's food.
[00:40] Both
    F-Food?!
[00:42] Eleia
    That's right.
[00:43] ---
    At our Olympics, we butcher one hundred cows
[00:45] ---
    and serve them to our guests
    as an offering to Zeus.
[00:48] Both
    B-Beef?!
[00:49] Eleia
    Do you have to shout after everything I say?
[00:51] Eleia
    Can your village offer more impactful food?
[00:57] Eleia
    Well, good luck.
[01:00] Mayor
    D-Damn it! Let's go see
    our village's cowherd!
[01:06] Deme
    There's only three...
[01:08] Mayor
    We'll have to serve something
    unique to Tortonia.
[01:10] Deme
    Since we're a seaside village,
    would that be seafood?
[01:13] Mayor
    One hundred fish can't beat one hundred cows!
[01:16] Mayor
    Besides, they won't keep!
[01:17] Deme
    What about dried fish,then, that keeps well?
[01:20] Mayor
    That's even more drab!
[01:21] Mayor
    Though, as an old man, I do like it.
[01:23] Mayor
    But when we're in trouble,
[01:25] ---
    the responsibility of inventing a novel
    never-before-seen dish belongs to...
[01:29] Deme
    Me?
[01:31] Mayor
    Go on!
[01:33] Deme
    This culinary contest has
    nothing to do with sports!
[01:37] Voice
    Time travel...
[01:41] Iwatani
    You do whatever you want, don't you?
[01:43] Deme
    Anyway, could you teach me
    about Tokyo's novel dishes?
[01:47] Iwatani
    How about sushi?
[01:49] Deme
    Raw fish?
[01:50] Deme
    That seems unwise at an athletic
    field in the middle of summer.
[01:52] Iwatani
    Sushi was originally a preserved food.
[01:54] Deme
    Really?
[01:55] Iwatani
    Originally in Southeast Asia they would
    ferment and preserve fish and rice together.
[02:00] Deme
    But we'd have to start by cultivating rice.
[02:04] Iwatani
    Oh, right. They didn't have
    rice in ancient Greece.
[02:08] Iwatani
    How about miso soup?
[02:09] Deme
    I'm hesitant to eat seaweed.
[02:12] Iwatani
    One theory suggests that Westerners
    can't break down seaweed.
[02:17] Iwatani
    How about tempura?
[02:18] Deme
    Greece already has fish fried in olive oil.
[02:22] Iwatani
    You're a tough customer.
[02:26] Deme
    Because I was so focused on
    studying, I didn't eat much.
[02:29] Deme
    Sir, I'm a bit hungry. Do you have any nuts?
[02:33] Iwatani
    This is all I have.
[02:35] Deme
    Wh-What is this?!
[02:39] Eleia
    So they claim to have prepared a feast.
[02:42] Eleia
    Well, it's not like I'd
    reject their invitation.
[02:45] Eleia
    What is that?
[02:46] Eleia
    You're just pouring boiling
    hot water into a pot.
[02:49] Deme
    Here you are.
[02:51] Eleia
    Wh-What is this?!
[02:54] (Flashback) Deme
    Insta... what?
[02:56] (Flashback) Iwatani
    It's a dish made from fried noodles.
[02:58] (Flashback) Iwatani
    Want to try it?
[03:00] (Flashback) Deme
    Of course!
[03:01] (Flashback) Deme
    But it will take some time
    if you start cooking now.
[03:04] (Flashback) Iwatani
    You just add hot water
    and wait three minutes.
[03:06] (Flashback) Deme
    Three minutes?
[03:07] (Flashback) Iwatani
    Right, they didn't have measurements of time
    shorter than an hour in ancient Greece.
[03:11] (Flashback) Iwatani
    It'll be ready soon.
[03:12] (Flashback) Iwatani
    It'll be done in the time it would
    take you to clean three sardines.
[03:16] (Flashback) Deme
    Don't underestimate how
    quickly I can clean sardines.
[03:20] (Flashback) Iwatani
    It's ready.
[03:21] (Flashback) Deme
    Already?!
[03:23] Mayor
    He made threads out of kneaded wheat.
[03:25] Eleia
    I see. So there's wheat
    fried in olive oil inside.
[03:30] Eleia
    And pouring hot water over it produces
    a meal in such a short amount of time!
[03:33] Mayor
    Not only will this keep for a long time,
[03:34] ---
    but it can be produced in
    huge quantities beforehand!
[03:37] Mayor
    You can eat it anywhere at the
    Olympics, even while standing!
[03:40] Eleia
    But this preserved food can't
    possibly taste very good.
[03:45] Eleia
    It's delicious!
[03:46] Mayor
    It's delicious!
[03:48] Eleia
    The broth contains the salt of the
    Aegean Sea and the aroma of Eleia.
[03:52] Eleia
    The Tortonian Sea is
    bursting inside my mouth!
[03:56] Mayor
    Th-This delicious Tortonian ramen is...!

[04:04] ---
    Just submit 10 potsherds!
[04:04] Deme
    Buy now, and you could win tickets.
[04:08] Eleia
    As a flavor elitist and Eleian, I cannot lie.
[04:12] Eleia
    I hate to say it, but I admit that it's good.
[04:15] Eleia
    But don't think this means you've won.
[04:18] Eleia
    Farewell.
[04:21] Mayor
    The opening of the Tolympics is in sight!
