**[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!

**[04:25] [SONG] ---**
You are always

Spending your time studying

And I would like

To soothe you

That dish you love

Will you tell me again
**[04:42] [SONG] ---**
"It's so flavorful and sweet"
**[04:46] [SONG] ---**
Females full of eggs are the best
**[04:48] [SONG] ---**
They're best just after they've emerged

I shall enter the woods and search for cicadas
