[00:06] Chef
    Hey, Granddad.
SIGN    Crêpes
[00:08] Chef
    Isn't this a Western restaurant?
[00:10] Chef
    Why is Japanese stuff like
    braised pork belly on the menu?
[00:13] Grandpa
    "Western cuisine" refers to dishes
    from across the ocean, right?
[00:18] Grandpa
    Which means just about anything
    that wasn't originally in Japan
[00:21] Grandpa
    counts as Western cuisine.
[00:23] Grandpa
    Besides...
[00:25] Grandpa
    At an eatery, as long as the
    eating's good, it's fine.
[00:29] Chef
    Oh, I see now.
[00:37] Waitress
    Good work today.
[00:39] Waitress
    I'm taking off.
[00:40] Chef
    Have a nice evening.
[00:42] Chef
    I'll see you here next week.
[00:44] Waitress
    Yes, sir.
SIGN    Preparing
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[02:41] Chef
    Here you go.
[02:42] Chef
    Teriyaki chicken with seishu to drink.
[02:45] Chef
    Take your time and enjoy.
[02:49] Tatsugoro
    That's the good stuff.
[02:57] Tatsugoro
    I'm convinced. Teriyaki chicken
    goes best with this white rice.
[03:01] Artorius
    Nonsense, Teriyaki. This pork loin cutlet
    is what goes best with white rice.
[03:10] Alphonse
    I can't listen to this.
[03:13] Alphonse
    Curry rice!
[03:15] Alphonse
    It's right there in the dish's name.
[03:19] Alphonse
    This curry is obviously best suited to rice!
[03:22] Lionel
    Seconds!
[03:24] Lionel
    The only dish worthy is
    pork cutlet rice bowl.
[03:26] Lionel
    It can't exist without rice.
[03:34] Gaganpo
    Delicious.
[03:38] Tatsugoro
    I'm talking about what
    goes best with white rice.
[03:41] Tatsugoro
    The dishes you're talking
    about are completely different.
[03:44] Alphonse
    Are you implying that curry rice
    doesn't contain white rice?
[03:47] Alphonse
    Are you blind?!
[03:49] Lionel
    Another bowl!
[03:55] Artorius
    Give me one of those. I'll taste it for you.
[04:00] Tatsugoro
    What do you think you're doing?
[04:01] Tatsugoro
    Give that back. Give it back!
[04:06] Tatsugoro
    Let it go, Pork Loin Cutlet!
[04:07] Artorius
    I won't.
[04:10] Tatsugoro
    I'm running out of patience.
[04:13] Artorius
    But I need to find out whether your
    claim is accurate, don't I, Teriyaki?
[04:22] Artorius
    Hey! Don't eat my food!
[04:24] Tatsugoro
    Give it back!
[04:24] Artorius
    Why, you...
[04:25] Voice
    So you won't give it back?
[04:27] Voice
    You—
[04:29] Artorius
    What?!
[04:37] Alphonse
    This isn't half-bad.
SIGN    One more bite...
[04:55] Chef
    Gentlemen...
[04:56] Chef
    You're getting a little too rowdy.
[04:59] Chef
    No violence in my restaurant.
[05:02] Chef
    If you're going to keep this up,
[05:06] Chef
    I'll never cook for you again.
[05:17] Artorius
    Let's just enjoy our meal, shall we?
[05:20] ---
    Right.
[05:25] Chef
    Thank you very much.
[05:40] Dragon
    Is it time?
[05:48] Dragon
    There it is.
[05:52] Balrog
    You called, my queen?
[05:54] Queen
    I'm going out. So...
[06:04] Queen
    Prepare me a dress.
[06:06] Queen
    The same as always.
[06:09] Queen
    Understood?
[06:11] ---
    Of course.
[06:12] Balrog
    As you command.
[06:16] Queen
    Goodness, this is shameful.
[06:19] Queen
    Over 100,000 years old and I can't
    bear to wait even a few moments.
[06:26] Queen
    But I must honor my contract
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[06:29] Queen
    with the master of Nekoya, my treasure.
[06:34] Queen
    Indeed, to dine alongside me,
    one of the six great dragons,
[06:40] Queen
    would be unpleasant for the other diners.
[06:45] Balrog
    Here it is.
[06:46] Balrog
    Your clothing.
[06:48] Queen
    Good.
[06:57] Balrog
    Here.
[06:59] Queen
    I'll be back.
[07:02] Balrog
    Enjoy your trip.
[07:06] Queen
    I am here, Master.
[07:07] Chef
    Welcome.
[07:09] Chef
    What can I get for you today?
[07:11] Queen
    Need I tell you? I always
    request the same thing.
[07:17] Queen
    Beef stew.
[07:19] Queen
    I'll start with one bowl.
[07:21] Chef
    You got it. Coming right up.
[07:36] Chef
    Thank you for your patience.
    Here's your beef stew.
SIGN    Beef Stew
[07:46] Queen
    This aroma tempts me to no end.
[07:52] Queen
    I shall partake, then.
[08:07] Queen
    Delicious.
[08:17] Queen
    As always, the broth and the
    vegetables are quite good.
[08:27] Queen
    And now for...
[08:47] Queen
    Master, the usual. You understand, yes?
[08:51] Chef
    Yes, you betcha.
[08:53] Chef
    All right, please take it with you.
[08:59] Queen
    Farewell. I'll come again.
[09:02] Chef
    I look forward to it.
[09:03] Chef
    Come again.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[09:14] Balrog
    Welcome back, my queen.
[09:17] Queen
    Mhm.
[09:37] Queen
    Now...
[09:49] Chef
    So tired...
[10:10] Chef
    Whoa!
[10:19] Chef
    This is...
[10:20] Chef
    someone from the other side, no doubt.
[10:30] Aletta
    Huh?
[10:32] Aletta
    Um, where am I?
[10:38] Aletta
    Huh?
[10:39] Aletta
    I-I'm sorry for letting myself in!
[10:44] Aletta
    I-I'm so sorry!
[10:47] Chef
    All right, just calm down.
[10:49] Aletta
    Huh?
[10:50] Chef
    What's your name, miss?
[10:52] Aletta
    I can't believe I wandered
    into a magician's manor.
[10:56] Aletta
    U-Um, I'm...
[10:58] Aletta
    My name is Aletta.
[11:02] Chef
    So tell me. How did you end up here?
[11:04] Aletta
    Uh, right. You see...
[11:21] (Flashback) Aletta
    So cold...
[11:23] (Flashback) Aletta
    Was coming to the capital a mistake?
[11:29] (Flashback) Aletta
    Why wasn't I born a human?
[11:41] (Flashback) Aletta
    Guess I'll sleep.
[11:48] (Flashback) Aletta
    I can't sleep. I'm so hungry.
[11:53] (Flashback) Aletta
    Something smells good.
[11:55] (Flashback) Aletta
    Huh?
[11:57] (Flashback) Aletta
    There's a door here?
[12:00] (Flashback) Aletta
    Was that there before?
[12:05] (Flashback) Aletta
    What is this?
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[12:08] (Flashback) Aletta
    Is that a cat?
[12:15] (Flashback) Aletta
    Huh?!
[12:18] (Flashback) Aletta
    Th-That scared me.
[12:21] (Flashback) Aletta
    It's pitch dark.
[12:27] (Flashback) Aletta
    I shouldn't let myself in, should I?
[12:30] (Flashback) Aletta
    But...
[12:34] (Flashback) Aletta
    Wh-What is this place?
[12:36] (Flashback) Aletta
    It's so strange. All these silver doors...
[12:41] (Flashback) Aletta
    Am I dreaming?
[12:45] (Flashback) Aletta
    If it's a dream, this is okay, right?
[12:57] Aletta
    I-Is that knight's sauce?
[12:59] Aletta
    Because I'm dreaming?
[13:02] Aletta
    Th-Then it's okay, right?
[13:12] (Flashback) Aletta
    What is this? It's so sweet!
[13:24] Aletta
    This is like a dream.
[13:26] Aletta
    Oh, yeah. Because it is one!
[13:35] Chef
    I see.
[13:37] Chef
    So you're saying you thought it was a dream.
[13:40] Aletta
    I-I'm so sorry.
[13:42] Chef
    And?
[13:45] Aletta
    U-Um, I'm not human.
[13:49] Aletta
    I'm a demon.
[13:51] Aletta
    As proof that we have the
    demon god's divine protection,
[13:56] Aletta
    all demons possess an inhuman feature.
[14:00] Aletta
    Horns, a tail...
[14:02] Aletta
    Scales covering their body...
[14:04] Aletta
    Poisonous blood and sweat...
[14:07] Aletta
    A part of the body that's see-through slime...
    It manifests in various ways.
[14:12] Aletta
    Even if one of our parents
    is a human or a half-elf,
[14:18] Aletta
    we're always born with the
    god's blessing somewhere.
[14:23] Aletta
    But my blessing is only these
    small black goat horns.
[14:30] Aletta
    Unlike other demons,
[14:32] Aletta
    my physical and magical strength are no
    greater than an ordinary human girl's.
[14:37] Aletta
    Half a year ago, I decided
    to leave my hometown
[14:41] Aletta
    and moved to the royal capital, a human city.
[14:45] Aletta
    I hid my horns, found a place to work,
    and was making an honest living.
[14:52] Aletta
    But one day...
[14:58] Aletta
    They saw my horns, and I lost my job.
[15:03] Aletta
    Word that I was a demon spread
    through the city like wildfire.
[15:09] Aletta
    It's hard for a demon to get
    a job in the royal capital.
[15:13] Aletta
    I ran out of money in the blink of an eye,
[15:17] Aletta
    and now I'm staying in ruins that
    even the impoverished won't live in.
[15:25] Chef
    Is that so?
[15:29] Aletta
    I-I'm really, really sorry!
[15:31] Chef
    Well, I don't care about the
    corn potage at this point.
[15:35] Chef
    But I'm starving, too.
[15:39] Chef
    You said your name was Aletta-san?
[15:41] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir.
[15:43] Chef
    Will you be sticking around for breakfast?
[15:46] Aletta
    N-No, I couldn't!
[15:49] Aletta
    I don't have any money.
[15:51] Aletta
    And I couldn't possibly
    cause you any more trouble.
[15:55] Chef
    I'd actually rather that you stayed and ate.
[15:59] Chef
    It'll only be a staff meal.
    You don't have to pay.
[16:02] Aletta
    I can eat for free?
[16:03] Chef
    I wouldn't feel right being
    the only one to get to eat.
[16:06] Chef
    Besides, the food will taste better
    with two at the table, won't it?
[16:12] Aletta
    Okay. I-I'll eat.
[16:15] Chef
    Great. Then wait just a minute.
[16:40] Chef
    Here ya go. My breakfast special,
    a staff meal not included on the menu.
SIGN    Breakfast Special
[16:49] Aletta
    H-He's really good at cooking.
[16:53] Chef
    Unfortunately, that's all
    I can offer right now.
[16:57] Chef
    Bear with it.
[17:01] Chef
    All right. Let's dig in.
[17:06] Aletta
    Thank you, god of demons,
    for this, my daily bread...
[17:11] Aletta
    Oh, f-forget I did that!
[17:14] Chef
    What's wrong? Is there something you dislike?
[17:18] Aletta
    N-No! It's nothing.
[17:23] Aletta
    What is this?
[17:25] Aletta
    No way. This, too...
[17:27] Aletta
    And this, too!
[17:32] Aletta
    It's delicious!
[17:37] Chef
    I'm a lucky cook, to have someone
    eat my food that eagerly.
[17:41] Chef
    Want seconds?
[17:44] Aletta
    Yes!
[17:50] Aletta
    Thanks for the food.
[17:54] Chef
    Sure. I'm glad you liked it.
[17:56] Aletta
    It was delicious.
[17:58] Chef
    Oh, right. Aletta-san, you said you
    were looking for work, didn't you?
[18:03] Aletta
    Y-Yes.
[18:06] Chef
    And you said you were a waitress...
[18:08] Chef
    I mean, that you worked at an inn, right?
[18:12] Aletta
    Y-Yes.
[18:13] Chef
    Then how would you like to
    work here once a week...
[18:17] Chef
    I mean, once every seven days?
[18:19] Aletta
    Huh?
SIGN    Closed
[18:20] Chef
    The work is from dawn
    until late in the night.
[18:22] Chef
    You'd be waiting on tables
    and clearing away the dishes.
[18:27] Chef
    For your pay, let's say we'll treat
    it like a casual student job, so…
[18:31] Chef
    It'll be ten thousand ye... ahem,
[18:33] Chef
    ten silver coins for a full day.
[18:36] Aletta
    S-So much, just for that?!
[18:39] Chef
    Right. Well, it's about a
    14-hour shift, including breaks.
[18:45] Chef
    That'll be pretty rough
    if you're not used to it.
[18:47] Chef
    Oh, and I'll feed you three meals.
[18:51] Chef
    Just simple staff meals, though.
[18:53] Aletta
    I-I'll do it!
[18:55] Aletta
    Please let me.
[18:57] Aletta
    Please!
[18:58] Chef
    All right. You're hired.
[19:10] Chef
    This might be sudden, but do
    you have some time today?
[19:14] Aletta
    Y-Yes, I have time.
[19:16] Chef
    Great.
[19:16] Chef
    Then I'll show you the ropes today.
[19:20] Aletta
    Yes, sir!
[19:21] Chef
    That's a good reply.
[19:23] Chef
    Let's start with...
[19:31] Chef
    Wash up in the shower room.
    I'll show you how to use it.
[19:35] Chef
    I'll provide a uniform and shoes.
[19:37] Aletta
    Shower room?
[19:38] Chef
    Change into them.
[19:42] Aletta
    Um, I move this like this...
[19:49] Aletta
    It feels so good.
[19:54] Aletta
    I think I'm supposed to wash
    with this magic device.
[20:07] Aletta
    E-Excuse me. I've finished changing.
[20:13] Aletta
    H-How do I look?
[20:16] Chef
    You pass muster.
[20:18] Chef
    Oh, do the shoes fit okay?
[20:21] Aletta
    Y-Yes! The shoes are the perfect size.
[20:25] Chef
    Great. Then let's move on.
[20:27] Aletta
    Yes, sir!
[20:28] Chef
    Start at that table.
[20:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[20:38] Balrog
    What is the matter?
[20:39] Queen
    Something new was added to my treasure.
[20:44] Balrog
    Then, your spell...
[20:45] Queen
    Yes. I'll be back soon.
[20:48] Balrog
    My queen.
[21:20] Aletta
    Today was amazing.
[21:23] Aletta
    But I have to find a job here, too.
[21:27] Aletta
    I'd like to sleep with a roof
    over my head, after all.
[21:31] Aletta
    I'll have to give it my all tomorrow.
[21:43] Queen
    There's no need to be concerned.
[21:45] Queen
    There is no one in this world
[21:50] Queen
    who would dare damage a part of my treasure.

    Minced meat cutlet?
[06:05] Master
    It was William-san's favorite dish.
[06:09] Sarah
    I see...
[06:10] Master
    Wait just a minute, ma'am.
[06:15] Sarah
    Hey, you.
[06:16] Aletta
    Y-Yes?
[06:17] Sarah
    Do you know what tomorrow's special is?
[06:19] Aletta
    Um, actually, the door to the restaurant
    only appears once every seven days, so...
[06:25] Sarah
    I was right. Today has
    to be the Day of Satur.
[06:30] Sarah
    But the reason that William Gold lived in
    a former mining town in his last years...
[06:38] Sarah
    Wait, could it be because the food here
[06:41] Sarah
    is even better than the high-class
    restaurants in the capital?!
SIGN    Minced Meat Cutlet
[06:57] Master
    Here you go. One minced meat cutlet meal.
[07:01] Sarah
    I see. This is definitely
    cuisine from another world.
[07:09] Master
    Take your time and enjoy.
[07:15] Aletta
    You get free refills of
    the bread and soup.
[07:18] Aletta
    If you need more, give me a shout.
[07:21] Aletta
    Oh, and...
[07:22] Aletta
    The minced meat cutlet tastes
    even better with this sauce and
[07:26] Aletta
    lemon juice squeezed over it.
[07:28] Sarah
    Okay. Thanks.
[07:30] Aletta
    Enjoy!
[07:34] Sarah
    I'll start with...
[07:38] Sarah
    What is this? It's delicious!
[07:42] Sarah
    This is so soft.
[07:45] Sarah
    Excuse me! Could I get seconds
    of the bread and soup?
[07:47] Aletta
    Sure thing!
[08:03] Sarah
    Meat cut into tiny bits?
[08:11] Sarah
    What is this?
[08:12] Sarah
    The meat's plentiful juices mingle
[08:14] Sarah
    with the lightly-textured coating
    saturated with high-quality oil
[08:18] Sarah
    as they burst and flow out.
[08:19] Sarah
    It's a simultaneous rush of meat moderately
    seasoned with the perfect amount
[08:23] Sarah
    of salt and pepper,
[08:25] Sarah
    and the subtle sweetness of
    the oranie mixed in with it.
[08:29] Sarah
    It's incomparable!
[08:31] Aletta
    Here's more bread and soup for you.
[08:35] Sarah
    O-Oh, right. You said this is good with
    lemon juice and sauce over it, didn't you?
[08:41] Aletta
    Yes. It's very good!
[08:43] Sarah
    Very?!
[08:43] Aletta
    Here you go. This is the sauce.
[08:49] Aletta
    Enjoy!
[09:01] Sarah
    Adding this "sauce" condiment and lemon,
    a fruit with practically no sweetness,
[09:07] Sarah
    gives a sourness and heaviness to every
    bite, and a refreshing aftertaste
[09:12] Sarah
    that balances out so well,
    it makes my hands stop moving,
[09:17] Sarah
    even as it leaves such a satisfied feeling.
[09:20] Sarah
    The minced cutlet has attained perfection?!
[09:23] Sarah
    I could eat this forever!
[09:25] Sarah
    This is nothing less than the food
    of the gods in the celestial realm!
[09:32] Master
    Welcome. The usual?
[09:34] Tatsugoro
    Mm.
[09:34] Artorius
    Aye.
[09:35] Tatsugoro
    Who's that?
[09:37] Master
    A new hire. It's her first day.
[09:39] Aletta
    N-Nice to meet you.
[09:41] Sarah
    Another minced meat cutlet!
[09:43] Aletta
    Okay, coming right up!
[09:49] Sarah
    That was delicious.
[09:51] Aletta
    Thank you very much.
[09:52] Master
    Thanks for your business. Also, ma'am...
[09:55] Master
    Could I ask you to take this?
[09:57] Sarah
    What is it?
[09:58] Master
    It's takeout. Minced meat cutlet sandwiches.
[10:01] Sarah
    Huh?
[10:02] Master
    William-san would always order this
    along with a minced meat cutlet meal.
[10:08] Master
    You seemed to enjoy your meal so much,
    I made it out of habit.
[10:13] Master
    It's on the house today.
    Please take it with you.
[10:18] Sarah
    Are you sure?
[10:19] Master
    Yes. We'll say it's on William-san.
[10:24] Sarah
    Oh? Then I'll take it.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[10:34] Sarah
    Well, goodbye.
[10:35] Master
    We look forward to serving you again.
[10:38] Master
    Oh, right...
[10:40] Sarah
    Huh?
[10:40] Master
    How did William-san...
[10:43] Sarah
    I hear he went peacefully.
[10:46] Sarah
    I guess he was pretty vexed that he
    couldn't come here anymore, though.
[10:51] Master
    Is that so?
[10:54] Sarah
    Well, see you again.
[10:56] Master
    Looking forward to it.
[10:59] Artorius
    So we have ourselves a
    Minced Meat Cutlet II, eh?
[11:02] Tatsugoro
    What's that mean?
[11:03] Artorius
    It's just as it looks.
[11:07] Tatsugoro
    Ah, I see. The second, is she?
[11:10] Tatsugoro
    Come to think of it, I hadn't
    seen him in years now.
[11:13] Tatsugoro
    Good old Minced Meat Cutlet...
[11:17] Tatsugoro
    I see. All things come around again, eh?
[11:25] Sarah
    The legendary treasure hunter's
    last hidden treasure.
[11:32] Sarah
    It's a hidden treasure
    worthy of William Gold.
[11:49] Heinrich
    Enter.
[11:51] Guard
    Captain Heinrich.
[11:52] Guard
    You have a visitor.
[11:54] Heinrich
    A visitor? Who?
[11:56] Guard
    He asked for you by name.
[11:58] Guard
    He called himself Tatsugoro...
[12:00] Heinrich
    What?! Tatsugoro?
[12:02] Heinrich
    The real Tatsugoro?!
[12:04] Guard
    Unfortunately, I couldn't
    confirm whether it's truly him.
[12:07] Guard
    However, he's exactly as described
    in the minstrels' songs...
[12:10] Heinrich
    Understood. Let him in.
[12:12] Guard
    Yes, sir.
[12:13] Heinrich
    Tatsugoro is the name of
[12:15] Heinrich
    the foreign fencing master who
    came from the Western Continent.
[12:18] Heinrich
    He's renowned as a great warrior
    even here on the Eastern Continent.
[12:21] Heinrich
    Among those who've taken up the blade,
    there's not a soul who doesn't know his name.
[12:25] Heinrich
    What is he doing here?
[12:27] Heinrich
    It could be an assassin using his name.
[12:29] Guard
    I've brought him.
[12:31] Heinrich
    Send him in.
[12:39] Tatsugoro
    How do you do? I am Tatsugoro.
[12:43] Tatsugoro
    I hope you'll treat me kindly, Lord Seeleman.
[12:47] Heinrich
    There's no mistake! This man is...
[12:50] Heinrich
    Please, lift your head.
[12:52] Heinrich
    I've heard much about your
    exploits, Sir Tatsugoro.
[12:54] Heinrich
    Please, come this way.
[12:57] Heinrich
    But what brings you to this
    fortress in the countryside?
[13:02] Tatsugoro
    Actually, an acquaintance of mine asked
    me to deliver something you forgot.
[13:11] Heinrich
    That's...
[13:13] Heinrich
    Three years ago, with only the
    stars and the moon to light my way,
[13:17] Heinrich
    I was running at full tilt.
[13:18] Heinrich
    But I had already surpassed
    the limits of my stamina.
[13:24] Heinrich
    If I continued on like that, I would
    be unable to complete my mission.
[13:27] Heinrich
    I would run out of strength and collapse,
[13:28] Heinrich
    and end up losing my life
    in those wildlands, alone.
[13:33] Heinrich
    But I could not afford to collapse there.
[13:35] Heinrich
    For I had a mission of grave importance.
[13:40] Heinrich
    Mothmen—humanoid, moth-like monsters
[13:42] Heinrich
    with four arms and wings,
    living in the duchy's forest—
[13:47] Heinrich
    had taken to the skies in droves.
[13:50] Heinrich
    Of course, we who were stationed in the fortress
    to watch for monsters leaving the forest
[13:56] Heinrich
    fought resolutely to stop the
    mothmen from spilling out.
[14:00] Heinrich
    But between the poisonous pollen they spread,
[14:03] Heinrich
    their claws bearing down
    on us from the skies,
[14:05] Heinrich
    and above all, their overwhelming numbers,
    the odds were against us.
[14:10] Heinrich
    We had to inform the castle
    of the dire situation
[14:13] Heinrich
    and ask for reinforcements immediately.
[14:16] Heinrich
    I was an excellent rider, and so I was
    chosen for this essential mission.
[14:22] Heinrich
    With a secret message to
    the state in my pocket,
[14:25] Heinrich
    I flew from the fortress during a
    moment's opening that my comrades
[14:28] Heinrich
    risked their lives to make.
[14:32] Heinrich
    I was supposed to have already
    arrived at the castle...
[14:39] Heinrich
    But my horse had collapsed,
    foaming at the mouth, along the way.
[14:43] Heinrich
    It must have been afflicted with the
    mothmen's poison when we left the fortress.
[14:48] Heinrich
    I abandoned the horse and,
    carrying as little as possible,
[14:51] Heinrich
    I ran for the castle on my own two feet.
[14:55] Heinrich
    But I had reached my limit.
[14:59] Heinrich
    More than anything, I was hungry.
[15:04] Heinrich
    I'd eaten enough before I left the
    fortress, but a full day later...
[15:09] Heinrich
    My stomach was already empty.
[15:12] Heinrich
    My mistake was not packing any food
[15:15] Heinrich
    in my attempt to ready the
    horse as quickly as possible.
[15:18] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Great god of the sea and water,
    give me strength!
[15:24] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Huh?
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[15:32] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I'm saved!
[15:38] (Flashback) Master
    Welcome.
[15:39] (Flashback) Master
    How many in your party?
[15:41] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Are you alone?!
[15:43] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I am a knight of the duchy,
    Heinrich Seeleman.
[15:48] (Flashback) Heinrich
    As a citizen of the duchy
    living in this cabin,
[15:50] (Flashback) Heinrich
    you will produce food and water for me.
[15:52] (Flashback) Heinrich
    If you disobey me...
[15:53] (Flashback) Master
    Comin' right up.
[15:55] (Flashback) Master
    Could you take a seat
    wherever you like and wait?
[15:59] (Flashback) Master
    I'll bring you a damp towel and water.
[16:02] (Flashback) Heinrich
    V-Very well.
[16:03] (Flashback) Master
    Oh, that's right. Can you read
    the Eastern Continent's language?
[16:08] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I-Indeed I can.
[16:10] (Flashback) Master
    Great. Hold on just a minute.
[16:12] Heinrich
    What is this cabin?
[16:22] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Hey. Who are you?
[16:24] (Flashback) Heinrich
    You're no ordinary pioneer.
[16:27] (Flashback) Master
    Pioneer? What are you talking about?
[16:29] (Flashback) Master
    This is a restaurant called
    Western Restaurant Nekoya.
[16:33] (Flashback) Heinrich
    A restaurant? Out here?
[16:35] (Flashback) Master
    I don't know what door you took here, but...
[16:39] (Flashback) Master
    Apparently, there are doors
    connecting your world to here.
[16:44] (Flashback) Heinrich
    You speak nonsense!
[16:45] (Flashback) Master
    Well, please have a seat for now.
[16:47] (Flashback) Heinrich
    A-All right.
[16:50] (Flashback) Master
    Anyway, I can't blame you
    for not believing me.
[16:54] (Flashback) Master
    But the details aside, you can
    believe that this is a restaurant.
[16:57] (Flashback) Master
    I can offer you anything written on this
    menu whenever you're ready to order.
[17:01] Heinrich
    "Menu"?
[17:03] (Flashback) Heinrich
    What are you babbling about?
[17:12] (Flashback) Heinrich
    The penmanship is pretty good.
[17:13] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Well, anything will do as long
    as I can fill my stomach.
[17:19] Heinrich
    Shripe?
[17:22] Heinrich
    The same creature they catch
    in the port town I hail from?
[17:25] Heinrich
    It's difficult to transport even to
    the next town without spoiling.
[17:29] Heinrich
    The shripe I haven't seen since I left
    my hometown to join the knights...
[17:32] Heinrich
    The shripe I haven't tasted in years now.
[17:35] (Flashback) Master
    Are you ready to order, sir?
[17:38] (Flashback) Heinrich
    This. Bring me this "fried shrimp."
[17:40] (Flashback) Master
    Fried shrimp, comin' right up.
[17:42] (Flashback) Master
    Is bread all right for your side?
[17:44] (Flashback) Heinrich
    A-Aye.
[17:45] Heinrich
    Can he really serve me shripe?
[17:56] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Delicious.
[17:57] Heinrich
    Why is there ice in a place like this?
[18:05] (Flashback) Heinrich
    This feels rather pleasant, too.
[18:07] (Flashback) Master
    Thanks for your patience.
[18:09] Master
    Here's your fried shrimp.
SIGN    Fried Shrimp
[18:11] Master
    Try it with our special tartar sauce.
[18:15] (Flashback) Master
    Take your time and enjoy.
[18:17] (Flashback) Master
    You get free refills of bread and soup.
[18:19] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Huh?!
[18:20] (Flashback) Master
    Just give me a holler.
[18:22] Heinrich
    This is shripe?
[18:25] Heinrich
    The menu said that it's coated with
    bread crumbs and fried in oil, but...
[18:29] Heinrich
    No matter. I'll try a bite.
[18:37] Heinrich
    It's certainly pleasing to the eyes.
[18:42] Heinrich
    It's shripe.
[18:44] Heinrich
    And it's even meatier and
    fresher than in my hometown.
[18:48] Heinrich
    It falls apart in the mouth with an easy crunch.
[18:51] Heinrich
    The fragrant coating,
    made with fine-quality wheat
[18:53] Heinrich
    that has soaked up good oil
    without an overpowering taste,
[18:57] Heinrich
    and the moderately chewy shrimp
    meat that pushes back the teeth,
[19:01] Heinrich
    leaking out lightly-flavored
    juices with every chew,
[19:04] Heinrich
    meld together as one...
[19:07] Heinrich
    He said to eat it with "tartar sauce."
[19:12] Heinrich
    Is this it?
[19:16] Heinrich
    It looks pleasing.
[19:31] Heinrich
    What is this sauce?
[19:33] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Excuse me, Master.
[19:34] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Another plate.
[19:36] (Flashback) Master
    Comin' right up.
[19:37] (Flashback) Master
    Sounds like you really
    liked the fried shrimp.
[19:44] (Flashback) Heinrich
    God who rules the sea and water,
[19:46] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I thank you for providing me
    with this incredible meal.
[19:57] (Flashback) Heinrich
    That was delicious.
[20:00] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Blast it. I don't have any money.
[20:03] (Flashback) Heinrich
    But I can't not pay him.
[20:07] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I know.
[20:08] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Master!
[20:09] (Flashback) Master
    What can I do for you?
[20:11] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I'd like to settle my bill,
    and I need to ask a favor of you.
[20:15] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I'm sorry to say I have no money.
[20:16] (Flashback) Master
    Huh?
[20:17] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I'll give you this instead.
[20:20] (Flashback) Heinrich
    When next I come, I will pay you the money.
[20:23] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Please take this collateral until that time.
[20:25] (Flashback) Master
    N-No, I can just put it on your tab.
[20:28] (Flashback) Heinrich
    That will not do!
[20:29] (Flashback) Heinrich
    This is my way of showing my sincerity.
[20:31] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Worry not. I swear I will
    come to this place again.
[20:35] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I have urgent business and must leave now.
[20:38] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Please feed me fried shrimp
    again when I return.
[20:41] (Flashback) Master
    W-Wait! Sir, the door only
    appears once every seven—
[20:44] Heinrich
    Forgive me!
[20:49] Heinrich
    And so I made it to the
    castle before daybreak,
[20:53] Heinrich
    and told them of the crisis in the duchy.
[20:55] Heinrich
    Seeing the gravity of the situation,
[20:57] Heinrich
    they mobilized the castle's
    soldiers immediately,
[20:59] Heinrich
    and the duchy narrowly escaped certain doom.
[21:02] Heinrich
    As a reward, I was given this fortress.
[21:06] Heinrich
    Ten days later...
[21:09] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Impossible! There is no restaurant?!
[21:15] Heinrich
    What was that?
[21:16] Heinrich
    It was no dream. I can say that for certain.
[21:19] Heinrich
    For the sword that I gave to him
    was still gone from my hip.
[21:24] Heinrich
    And the restaurant's master, just who is he?
[21:26] Tatsugoro
    An acquaintance, as I said.
[21:28] Heinrich
    You're acquainted?!
[21:29] Heinrich
    Does that mean...
[21:31] Tatsugoro
    Indeed, it's as you are likely thinking.
[21:36] Tatsugoro
    Come to think of it, I do believe
    there was a door near this fortress.
[21:41] Heinrich
    What?!
[21:42] Tatsugoro
    How would you like to go to eat some fried
    shrimp tomorrow, on the Day of Satur?
[21:47] Heinrich
    Fried shrimp?!
[21:48] Heinrich
    I can eat fried shrimp?!
[21:50] Tatsugoro
    Yes, once every seven days
    on the Day of Satur—
[21:56] Heinrich
    Fried shrimp, please!
[21:57] Sarah
    Wh-What's with him?
[21:59] Aletta
    He's a customer, right?
[22:01] Master
    Yes, he is.
[22:03] Master
    Welcome.

    It uses knight's sauce, doesn't it?!
[01:35] Master
    Right.
[01:42] Aletta
    Um, what is this dish called?
[01:45] Master
    I just threw together what I had on hand.
[01:48] Master
    It doesn't have a name.
[01:50] Master
    It's not on the menu,
    so don't worry about knowing it.
[01:52] Aletta
    We should offer it!
[01:53] Master
    Huh?
[01:54] Aletta
    It needs a name, right?
[01:58] Master
    Putting aside its menu worthiness,

SIGN    Alfade Company
[02:11] Master
    Is that so?
[02:12] Aletta
    Huh?
[02:15] Sirius
    Thomas Alfade, the former
    proprietor of the Alfade Company,
[02:18] Sirius
    dealt in a variety of ingredients,
    with a focus on wheat.
[02:23] Sirius
    Said to be the company's restorer,
[02:26] Sirius
    he elevated the wheat noodles
    once thought of as peasant food
[02:29] Sirius
    to a staple fixture on nobles' dining tables
[02:31] Sirius
    and built the Alfade Company into the
    kingdom's most prominent trading empire.
[02:38] Sirius
    He invented a variety of sauces,
[02:41] Sirius
    thus greatly elevating
    the status of pasta dishes,
[02:44] Sirius
    which had only used simple seasonings before.
[02:48] Sirius
    Many people purchased the Alfade
    Company's pasta and pasta sauce,
[02:52] Sirius
    and Thomas was lauded as the
    Genius of Culinary Innovation.
[02:58] Sirius
    But he had a secret.
[03:02] Sirius
    And the key to that secret
    lay beyond a certain door.
[03:08] Sirius
    This is the door that
    connects to another world?
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[03:14] Thomas
    All right. That should do it.
[03:17] Sirius
    Is it really true, Grandfather Thomas?
[03:20] Sirius
    It is indeed unnatural for there
[03:22] Sirius
    to be such a well-made door in
    the company cellar, but still...
[03:26] Sirius
    What's more, I feel it could be dangerous.
[03:29] Thomas
    Come now, it's safe.
[03:32] Thomas
    It isn't so different from our own world.
[03:34] Thomas
    Most importantly, you could say that
    the Alfade Company is deeply indebted
[03:38] Thomas
    to the shop on the other side of this door.
[03:41] Sirius
    A shop we're indebted to?
[03:43] Sirius
    What kind of shop is it?

    A restaurant.

[04:07] Master
    Come on in, Thomas-san.
    Give me just a minute.
[04:11] Thomas
    We're going to have a seat.
    Is that all right?
[04:15] Aletta
    Go right ahead.
[04:19] Sirius
    This is incredible. It's full of
    things I've never seen before.
[04:29] Master
    Who's this?
[04:32] Sirius
    Pleased to meet you. My name is Sirius.
[04:36] Sirius
    Thank you for all you've
    done for my grandfather.
[04:38] Thomas
    As you've just heard, this is my grandson.
[04:41] Thomas
    I'll be bringing him with
    me from time to time.
[04:43] Thomas
    Thanks in advance.
[04:47] Master
    I see. There's definitely a resemblance.
[04:53] Thomas
    Is there now?
[04:54] Master
    Well, we'll bring out your coffee first.
[04:59] Thomas
    Coffee?
[05:00] Thomas
    It's a type of tea in this world.
    It's black and bitter.
[05:04] Thomas
    It's pretty good, once you
    develop a taste for it.
[05:06] Thomas
    Gives you energy.
[05:10] Thomas
    Finding it curious, then?
[05:13] Sirius
    Yes. This really is another world, isn't it?
[05:15] Thomas
    That it is.
[05:17] Thomas
    Take a good look around.
[05:18] Thomas
    You can tell that the decor,
[05:21] Thomas
    the setup, and so on all deviate
    from our common sense, yes?
[05:27] Sirius
    I see what you mean. It does.
[05:32] Aletta
    Thank you for waiting.
[05:34] Aletta
    Here's your coffee.
[05:36] Thomas
    Thank you.
[05:42] Thomas
    Now, let's drink.
[05:44] Thomas
    Would you mind passing me the sugar?
[05:48] Sirius
    Y-Yes, sir.
[05:51] Sirius
    This is incredible, too.
[05:52] Sirius
    It's very high-quality sugar,
    isn't it? It's pure white.
[06:08] Thomas
    That's good.
[06:09] Thomas
    Go on, drink before it gets cold.
[06:13] Thomas
    Put in two spoonfuls of sugar, and milk, too.
[06:16] Sirius
    Okay.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[06:19] Master
    Thanks for waiting.
[06:20] Master
    Here are this month's Day of Satur proceeds.
[06:25] Thomas
    Mm.
[06:26] Master
    Do you mind if I hold on to this bag, then?
[06:30] Thomas
    Please do. We'll count the
    proceeds in the meantime.
[06:38] Sirius
    I see eight gold coins!
[06:42] Thomas
    It's a little more than last month.
[06:46] Sirius
    This is the proceeds from this restaurant?
[06:49] Thomas
    That's right. It's also the payment
    for the contents of that bag.
[06:53] Sirius
    I see now.
[06:55] Sirius
    But I don't think those ingredients are
    quite enough for this restaurant to use.
[07:01] Thomas
    Apparently, those are for
    the master to eat himself.
[07:05] Sirius
    He eats them? The restaurant's master?
[07:08] Thomas
    Yes. His predecessor did the same.
[07:10] Thomas
    He says he uses them to research flavors.
[07:13] Sirius
    Research?
[07:14] Thomas
    Yes. You see...
[07:17] (Flashback) Master
    Our restaurant's flavors are
    decided by Japanese tastes.
[07:21] (Flashback) Master
    Ahem, to you, they'd be the
    humans of another world.
[07:26] (Flashback) Master
    Luckily, there's not a huge disconnect,
    but it's still a bit different.
[07:31] Thomas
    So he adjusts his recipes so they'll be
    as palatable to us as possible, he says.
[07:37] Sirius
    He goes out of his way to do that?
[07:39] Sirius
    He can't make much profit from this.
[07:41] Thomas
    Well, he says that what he
    enjoys more than anything
[07:45] Thomas
    is feeding his customers good food
    and making them happy with it.
[07:49] Sirius
    Is that so?
[07:50] Master
    Thanks for waiting.
[07:52] Master
    I confirmed that all the items were there.
[07:55] Master
    As always, I'll treat you to a dish.
[07:58] Master
    Order anything you like.
[08:00] Master
    That goes for your grandson, too.
[08:02] Thomas
    I'll have my usual. An extra-large
    serving of spaghetti with meat sauce.
[08:07] Thomas
    Will that do for you, too, Sirius?
[08:09] Sirius
    Yes, sir. I'll leave it to you.
[08:11] Master
    Got it. Two large orders of
    spaghetti with meat sauce.
[08:22] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience. Here's
    your spaghetti with meat sauce.
SIGN    Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
[08:27] Sirius
    Grandfather, is this...
[08:30] Thomas
    Oh, it'll all be clear once you eat it.
[08:34] Thomas
    Now, let's dig in before it gets cold.
[08:46] Thomas
    Thinly sliced mushrooms,
    crushed and roasted nuts,
[08:50] Thomas
    oranie sauteed in oil,
    and a variety of herbs...
[08:57] Thomas
    We still have a long way
    to go to reach this, eh?
[09:07] Sirius
    What is this?
[09:09] Sirius
    The savoriness of the
    high-quality oil from the meat
[09:12] Sirius
    simmered in sauce explodes in my mouth.
[09:15] Sirius
    The beef and pork is so tender and flavorful,
[09:18] Sirius
    it's as if the animals were raised for
    the express purpose of butchering them.
[09:21] Sirius
    Frying and stewing them together
[09:24] Sirius
    makes the different flavors
    of both meats mingle
[09:27] Sirius
    to create a taste that
    neither could produce alone.
[09:31] Sirius
    And the stewed vegetables of another
    world used as the sauce's base...
[09:36] Sirius
    They were simmered and crushed into a liquid
[09:41] Sirius
    with a sweet sourness and lots of flavor.
[09:45] Sirius
    This bright red sauce pairs well with
    the meat and brings out its flavor.
[09:50] Sirius
    But the vegetable used in this sauce...
[09:54] Sirius
    Isn't it the same as the marmetts that
    our company discovered in a remote region
[09:58] Sirius
    and cultivate exclusively?
[10:02] Sirius
    It can't be.
[10:03] Thomas
    What do you think, Sirius?
[10:06] Thomas
    How does the pasta of
    another world taste to you?
[10:10] Sirius
    Why does this restaurant have a dish with a
    taste that our company has yet to put out?
[10:17] Sirius
    Could it be...
[10:25] Sirius
    Grandfather, did you...
[10:29] Thomas
    Yes. The title they gave me so long ago,
[10:32] Thomas
    the Genius of Culinary
    Innovation—it's all a sham.
[10:37] Thomas
    I merely wanted to eat this
    on the other side, too!
[10:42] Sirius
    Grandfather...
[10:43] Thomas
    Now, let's keep eating.
[10:47] Thomas
    This green cylinder contains a
    cheese grated down to powder.
[10:52] Thomas
    Sprinkling it over the meat
    sauce mellows the taste.
[10:55] Thomas
    And this red juice is a
    spice of the other world.
[10:59] Thomas
    It has the spiciness of togaran
    and the sourness of vinegar.
[11:02] Thomas
    It gives the meat sauce's flavor more punch.
[11:05] Sirius
    Cheese turned to powder—huh?
[11:09] Thomas
    Happens all the time. Break it up and eat it.
[11:21] Sirius
    Delicious!
[11:27] Thomas
    Give it a good shake.
[11:40] Thomas
    Perhaps I really should sell these
    two condiments through the company.
[11:45] Thomas
    Whoops. Mustn't forget that I'm already retired.
[11:59] Sirius
    Grandfather?
[12:00] Thomas
    You can only go to that restaurant
    once every seven days.
[12:03] Sirius
    What?!
[12:05] Thomas
    I go once every four times,
[12:07] Thomas
    to make my deal with its master.
[12:10] Sirius
    Is that so?
[12:11] Thomas
    But you can do as you like on the other days.
[12:15] Sirius
    Huh? I may?
[12:18] Thomas
    You bet.
[12:19] Sirius
    Thank you!
[12:21] Sirius
    I wonder what I should have next time...
[12:24] Thomas
    Sirius.
[12:28] Thomas
    I'm counting on you.
[12:32] Sirius
    Yes, sir!

[13:15] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    Do you find it dreary here, my dear Adelheid?
[13:19] (Flashback) Adelheid
    N-No. It's much cooler than
    in the imperial capital,

    and everyone's so very kind to me.
[13:35] (Flashback) Adelheid
    Mother...
[13:37] (Flashback) Older Maid
    I think she must be lonely.
[13:40] (Flashback) Older Maid
    There are no other children here,
[13:42] (Flashback) Older Maid
    and Her Majesty the Empress couldn't
    come because of her pregnancy.
[13:49] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    Given the circumstances, I suppose
    it's to be expected. Yet...
[13:58] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    This is the entrance to a secret chamber.
[14:01] (Flashback) Adelheid
    A secret chamber?
[14:03] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    You must keep it a secret from everyone else.
[14:06] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    Wouldn't want to have less of it for myself.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[14:14] Adelheid
    I don't recall much of what it was
    like inside the secret chamber.
[14:22] Adelheid
    I only vaguely remember that it had many
    chairs and tables, and was very bright,
[14:28] Adelheid
    and that I ate "clouds" there.
[14:32] Adelheid
    But the only other soul who knew of
    the clouds, my grandfather, is gone now.
[14:39] Younger Maid
    Here you are, Princess Adelheid.
    Please try not to lose heart.
[14:44] Adelheid
    I know.
[14:47] Younger Maid
    A-Are you all right?
[14:51] Adelheid
    I'm fine.
[14:53] Adelheid
    I'm only a little tired
    from the journey here.
[14:55] Adelheid
    Please, don't worry.
[14:57] Younger Maid
    I-Is that all? Thank goodness.
[15:04] Younger Maid
    I-I'm sincerely sorry.
[15:07] Younger Maid
    If you need anything,
    please call for me at any time.
[15:28] Older Maid
    What's the matter?
[15:30] Younger Maid
    I know that the pauper killer
    disease rarely spreads,
[15:35] Younger Maid
    yet I behaved dreadfully
    toward Princess Adelheid.
[15:39] Older Maid
    Is that so?
[15:40] Older Maid
    Still, it's normal to fear a disease that
    no healing magic or medicines will cure.
[15:48] Younger Maid
    But...
[15:50] Older Maid
    You mustn't look so contrite.
[15:52] Older Maid
    The disease can be overcome
    with rest and recuperation.
[15:55] Older Maid
    We need to stay strong and
    support her until she recovers.
[16:00] Younger Maid
    Yes, ma'am.
[16:04] Older Maid
    Excuse me. I've brought tea.
[16:07] Older Maid
    The sweets weren't to your taste?

    Marshlands stretch across the southern
    part of the Eastern Continent.
[01:36] Narrator
    There live the monsters known as lizardmen.
[01:45] Narrator
    The lizardmen appear to be
    half-human and half-lizard.
[01:51] Narrator
    Since ancient times, the marshes
    have been their territory.
[02:12] Narrator
    The lizardmen subsist upon the large lizards,
[02:15] Narrator
    crocodiles, birds,
    and fish native to the area.
[02:23] Narrator
    In one tribe of lizardmen living in
    the marshes, the Blue Tail Tribe,
[02:28] Narrator
    the hero Gaganpo cleans mud
    from hunting off of his body
[02:32] Narrator
    to prepare himself for an
    excursion on a special day
[02:36] Narrator
    that visits once every seven days.
[02:40] Narrator
    The soil comes off,
    exposing Gaganpo's body.
[02:44] Narrator
    In order to see whether
    he's missed any spots,
[02:50] Narrator
    and to warm up his body,
    which was chilled by the water,
[02:54] Narrator
    Gaganpo faces the sun
    that shines in the sky,
[02:56] Narrator
    spreads out his large body,
    and bathes in the sunlight.
[03:01] Narrator
    The sun shines upon a lizardman
    a head taller than average,
[03:07] Narrator
    his body bulging with strong muscles.
[03:12] Narrator
    His hide is covered in hard green
    scales with a faint blue tint,
[03:17] Narrator
    which can repel a blow from the
    dull iron swords that humans use,
[03:22] Narrator
    and it bears many scars.
[03:46] Narrator
    At eight years since his hatching,
[03:49] Narrator
    Gaganpo is in the prime of manhood,
[03:51] Narrator
    with the perfect balance of youthful
    body and experience in battle.
[03:55] Narrator
    He has survived many perilous battles
[03:58] Narrator
    and proven himself to be a hero.
[04:08] Narrator
    This is an important vindication.
[04:14] Narrator
    Gaganpo wipes his washed body
[04:17] Narrator
    with a cloth woven from vines.
[04:21] Narrator
    After he admires his scales faintly
    glittering in the sunlight,
[04:26] Narrator
    he moves on to equipping himself.
[04:28] Narrator
    His armor is a sturdy, valuable set made from
[04:31] Narrator
    the hide of a hydra that he
    led the tribe in defeating.
[04:35] Narrator
    His weapon is a spear set with
    a polished black stone.
[04:39] Narrator
    He always uses it.
[04:45] Gaganpo
    That should do it.

[05:27] Narrator
    On the other side of the door,
    in Nekoya of the Other World,

    Gerupa had a miraculous encounter
[05:39] Narrator

    each time the black door appears,

    This is how Gaganpo and the lizardmen
    exchange silver and copper stones
[07:08] Narrator
    for a feast from the other world.
[07:11] Aletta
    Got it. Wait just a minute.
[07:15] Aletta
    Here you go. One omelette rice.
SIGN    Omelette Rice
[07:19] Narrator
    At long last, Gaganpo beholds his goal,
    the cuisine of the other world.
[07:24] Narrator
    A magnificent yellow dish
    striped with vivid red lines.
[07:29] Narrator
    The aroma of cooked egg wafting from
    this dish, called "omelette rice,"
[07:34] Narrator
    elicits a gulp from his throat.
[07:36] Narrator
    Gaganpo joyfully picks up
    the sparkling spoon.
[07:41] Gaganpo
    Thank you for this food.
[07:42] Narrator
    He voices the prayer said before
    meals in the other world
[07:46] Narrator
    and gently wields his spoon.
[07:48] Narrator
    The egg breaks readily, so soft that it
    seems like the spoon will sink into it.
[07:52] Narrator
    The spoonful reveals itself to be
    packed full with a red filling.
[07:59] Narrator
    The cooked egg is the first
    thing he tastes, of course.
[08:02] Narrator
    How exactly is it done?
[08:06] Narrator
    When the tribe tries cooking crocodile
    eggs from the marshes, it never cooks
[08:10] Narrator
    to this exquisite fluffiness.
[08:13] Narrator
    It tastes of milk and butter,
    and the saltiness is strong,
[08:17] Narrator
    yet it's faintly sweet.
[08:19] Narrator
    Then, enhancing the soft,
    light flavor of the eggs
[08:24] Narrator
    is the sour red substance poured on top.
[08:27] Narrator
    Uniting the eggs with this sour red
    substance gives birth to a harmony
[08:31] Narrator
    and a wonderful taste.
[08:34] Narrator
    And the filling inside the
    omelette is delicious, as well.
[08:38] Narrator
    The poultry has been salted,
    perhaps to preserve it.
[08:41] Narrator
    When bitten into,
    it releases salty meat juices.
[08:47] Narrator
    The other world's thinly sliced mushrooms
    have plenty of rich, savory flavor.
[08:53] Narrator
    The minced and fried vegetables
    of the other world are sweet.
[08:58] Narrator
    The complexly seasoned orange grains softly
[09:01] Narrator
    accept it all as if bringing it all together.
[09:04] Narrator
    The orange grains absorb the flavors
    of all the different ingredients
[09:10] Narrator
    and combine them into one flavor.
[09:20] Gaganpo
    Another.
[09:22] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[09:24] Narrator
    Before the first is gone, Gaganpo orders
    a second serving of the same dish.
[09:29] Narrator
    For three years after the
    day he first ate this dish,
[09:32] Narrator
    Gaganpo has been captivated by this taste.
[09:37] Narrator
    When he finishes his meal,
    Gaganpo takes a satisfied breath.
[09:43] Narrator
    His stomach full, his expression
    becomes euphoric and powerful.
[09:49] Gaganpo
    All done.
[09:52] Master
    Thanks for waiting.
[09:52] Master
    Here are your three takeout party omelettes.
[09:56] Gaganpo
    They're ready?
[10:01] Gaganpo
    Payment.
[10:06] Master
    Thanks for your business.
[10:09] Gaganpo
    Goodbye.
[10:11] Master
    I look forward to your next visit.
[10:21] Gaganpo
    I'm back!
[10:22] Gaganpo
    And as you can see, I have the food!
[10:28] Crowd
    Gaganpo! Gaganpo!
[10:30] Crowd
    Gaganpo! Gaganpo! Gaganpo!
[10:37] Narrator
    Yellow egg dishes are more precious
    to the lizardmen than any other.
[10:42] Narrator
    Looking at it, they audibly
    swallow their pooling saliva.
[10:48] Narrator
    A simple stir-fry of finely
    chopped meat and oranie
[10:50] Narrator
    leaks out of the omelette on the first plate.
[10:55] Narrator
    Savory, finely chopped meat seasoned
    only with salt and pepper,
[11:00] Narrator
    and faintly sweet oranie.
[11:02] Narrator
    The flavors of the egg and the
    red substance are easily tasted,
[11:05] Narrator
    and each individual
    ingredient can be enjoyed.
[11:09] Narrator
    A stir-fry of white cheese
    and smoked meat leaks
[11:12] Narrator
    out of the omelette on the second plate.
[11:16] Narrator
    Cheese, a human food with a unique flavor,
[11:19] Narrator
    and meat that has been salted and then smoked,
[11:22] Narrator
    are both luxurious flavors that can't
    normally be experienced in the marshes.
[11:25] Narrator
    The sensation of the cheese and the
    smoked meat, which has a flavor
[11:29] Narrator
    that both raw and roasted meat lack,
[11:31] Narrator
    both melting in the mouth, is magnificent.
[11:35] Narrator
    A sweet white cream and
    small pink-colored shripe
[11:38] Narrator
    leak out of the omelette on the third plate.
[11:43] Narrator
    It has the taste of the white cream,
    the sweetest of the three,
[11:47] Narrator
    and flavor of the springy shripe.
[11:50] Narrator
    The smells of the three omelettes
    leave the lizardmen in a dilemma.
[11:54] Narrator
    They can each only eat
    from one of the omelettes.
[11:56] Narrator
    Which should they choose?
[11:59] Narrator
    If only they could eat from all three.
[12:01] Narrator
    Those are their thoughts as they
    wait for the elder's permission.
[12:08] Elder
    You may eat.
[12:10] Narrator
    With permission given,
[12:12] Narrator
    the lizardmen descend on the omelettes
    as if fighting to be first.
[12:15] Narrator
    Some devour their share in one gulp,
    while others relish it little by little,
[12:21] Narrator
    all the while happily smacking
    their tails against the ground.
[12:26] Gaganpo
    It's almost time for the
    next festival, is it?
[12:29] Gaganpo
    I will be the hero again.
[12:31] Gaganpo
    And...
[12:33] Gaganpo
    I'll eat lots of omelette
    rice for the next year, too.

[12:48] Master
    Well?
[12:48] Master
    Were you able to eat it?

    I'm going now.

    Are you certain you'll be

[13:10] (Flashback) Fardania
    I'll be fine. I'm not a child anymore.
[13:13] (Flashback) Fardania
    Besides, we're missing some things for lunch.
[13:18] (Flashback) Fardania
    You love mushroom salad, don't you, Papa?
[13:21] (Flashback) Fardania's Father
    But...
[13:23] (Flashback) Fardania
    Not to mention, today is...
[13:25] (Flashback) Fardania's Father
    The anniversary of your mother's death.
[13:28] (Flashback) Fardania
    I want to offer her something delicious.
[13:31] (Flashback) Fardania's Father
    Of course.

    Oh? Come on in.

    Have a seat anywhere that's empty.
[15:33] (Flashback) Aletta
    Welcome.
[15:41] (Flashback) Fardania
    Thank you.
[15:42] (Flashback) Aletta
    I'll come back when you're ready.
[16:08] (Flashback) Heinrich
    Tartar sauce is great, but pork
    cutlet sauce goes well with it, too.
[16:12] (Flashback) Heinrich
    I must insist that shripe is magnificent.
[16:13] (Flashback) Artorius
    Indeed, this is the dish
    to eat on the Day of Satur.
[16:17] Fardania
    This seems to be a restaurant
    where they serve human food.
[16:20] Fardania
    Why is human cooking so barbaric?
[16:26] Fardania
    Even the bread and soup are off-limits.
[16:28] Fardania
    I can't eat any of this.
[16:29] Fardania
    But it would be rude to come into
    a restaurant and not eat anything.
[16:36] (Flashback) Aletta
    Ready to order, miss?
[16:40] (Flashback) Fardania
    I know.
[16:41] (Flashback) Fardania
    If you have a dish that contains no
    meat, fish, milk, or eggs, I'd like that.
[16:48] (Flashback) Fardania
    If not, then I don't
    particularly need anything.
[16:49] (Flashback) Fardania
    I'll see myself out.
[16:51] (Flashback) Fardania
    So sorry.
[16:53] (Flashback) Aletta
    There's nothing like that on
    the menu, b-but I'll go ask.
[16:58] (Flashback) Master
    A dish that contains no
    meat, fish, milk, or eggs?
[17:02] (Flashback) Aletta
    Do we have anything like that?
[17:05] (Flashback) Master
    If she doesn't mind leaving
    it to the chef's choice.
[17:07] (Flashback) Aletta
    He says there is one.
[17:11] (Flashback) Fardania
    Just so you know, if there's even a hint
    of it mixed into my food, I can't eat it.
[17:16] (Flashback) Fardania
    Do you still think you can cook for me?
[17:18] (Flashback) Aletta
    U-Um...
[17:20] (Flashback) Master
    It's no problem, miss.
[17:21] (Flashback) Master
    As for soup... I use bonito stock, so it
    sounds like miso soup is off the menu, too.
[17:26] (Flashback) Master
    But other than that, I can
    serve you a full meal.
[17:30] (Flashback) Fardania
    Fine, then. All right.
[17:33] Fardania
    What could he intend to serve me?
[17:37] Fardania
    I highly doubt that a human could
    make a truly meatless dish so easily.
[17:41] Fardania
    Raw vegetables or some kind of soup?
[17:44] Fardania
    No, he seemed to say that
    he couldn't serve me soup.
SIGN    Tofu Steak
[17:52] Master
    Here you go.
[17:55] (Flashback) Fardania
    What is this?
[17:56] (Flashback) Master
    It's tofu steak.
[17:57] (Flashback) Master
    It's flavored with ponzu sauce.
[17:59] (Flashback) Master
    We only use seaweed stock to make it,
    so I think you should be able to eat it.
[18:05] (Flashback) Master
    Also, since bread doesn't fit your needs,
    I brought a side of rice.
[18:09] (Flashback) Master
    Well, I think that'll go better
    with tofu steak, anyway.
[18:13] (Flashback) Master
    Take your time and enjoy.
[18:21] Fardania
    I don't smell any animal in this.
[18:24] Fardania
    But the issue now is the taste!
[18:29] Fardania
    Here goes.
[18:31] Fardania
    The master called this "tofu." What's that?
[18:37] Fardania
    I'll just have to try it and find out.
[18:42] Fardania
    What is this?!
[18:44] Fardania
    I feel like I ate this when I was little,
    but I can't place it.
[18:51] Fardania
    And this ponzu sauce.
[18:54] Fardania
    The juice of a not-too-sweet,
    strongly citric fruit,
[18:57] Fardania
    and a salty juice that faintly
    has the same flavor as tofu.
[19:01] Fardania
    And an unknown scent of
    the sea straddles both juices,
[19:06] Fardania
    elevating them to one superior taste.
[19:09] Fardania
    I can't believe a human
    could have such skill.
[19:14] Fardania
    I don't know what exactly
    this scent of the sea is,
[19:17] Fardania
    but I have a good idea of
    how it works in this dish.
[19:22] Fardania
    A long time ago, when she traveled in
    the human world, Mama learned about
[19:27] Fardania
    mushrooms that were dried in the sun.
[19:31] Fardania
    I don't know why it works,
[19:33] Fardania
    but dried mushrooms improve
    the flavor of soup much more
[19:37] Fardania
    than when you use regular mushrooms.
[19:41] Fardania
    I think this must work the same way.
[19:43] Fardania
    Drying this unknown ingredient
    increases its flavor,
[19:47] Fardania
    and simmering it gives broth a savoriness.
[19:50] Fardania
    Adding that special something gives
    this dish a single, complete flavor.
[19:55] Fardania
    Moreover,
[19:56] Fardania
    there are these fragrant herbs and
    the snowy-white grated vegetable.
[20:02] Fardania
    Matching these with the sour, salty sauce
[20:05] Fardania
    creates a complex deliciousness
[20:08] Fardania
    that combines multiple flavors and scents.
[20:14] Fardania
    If I had to describe this complex sauce,
[20:17] Fardania
    matching it with tofu,
    which has a simple and bland flavor,
[20:21] Fardania
    gives the dish a light yet satisfying feeling
[20:26] Fardania
    that fills the stomach.
[20:48] Fardania
    This cuisine is far superior to
    anything that we elves can cook.
[20:54] Master
    Well? Were you able to eat it?
[20:57] Fardania
    For a human to be able to make this...
[21:02] Fardania
    I can't let us lose to them.
[21:10] Fardania's Father
    Are you really going, Fardania?
[21:13] Fardania
    Of course I am. I'll be fine, Papa.
[21:15] Fardania
    How many times have I told
    you I'm a grown woman now?
[21:18] Master
    Grown? You're still too young.
[21:22] Fardania
    Really, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
[21:26] Fardania
    I'll feed you delicious cuisine, too, Papa.
[21:30] Fardania's Father
    Wait!
[21:31] Fardania's Father
    At least take this letter...
[21:41] Fardania
    That's right.
[21:50] Fardania
    I'm going to cook delicious dishes
    that outshine that restaurant's!
[21:57] Fardania
    I'll make something even better!

    Well, watching how you wolfed that down,
    I figured one bowl couldn't be enough.
[08:42] (Flashback) Former Master
    If you don't want it, I'll make it my lunch.
[08:46] (Flashback) Former Master
    So, what'll it be?
[08:47] (Flashback) Lionel
    I'll eat it, of course!
[08:56] (Flashback) Former Master
    Want another bowl?
[08:57] (Flashback) Former Master
    I won't hassle you for the money.
    You can pay me when you have it.
[09:01] (Flashback) Lionel
    Of course. Much appreciated!
[09:08] (Flashback) Lionel
    I'm indebted to you.
[09:11] (Flashback) Former Master
    Think nothin' of it.
[09:15] (Flashback) Lionel
    I'll come again.
[09:17] (Flashback) Former Master
    See you then.
[09:19] (Flashback) Former Master
    That's five bowls on your tab.
    Be sure to pay me soon!
[09:22] (Flashback) Lionel
    What's this? Didn't you say you
    wouldn't hassle me for the money?
[09:26] (Flashback) Former Master
    Did I, now?
[09:32] (Flashback) Lionel
    All right. Time to go in.
[09:37] (Flashback) Lionel
    I have to earn money for
    those pork cutlet rice bowls!
[11:05] Master
    He went on to win ten thousand
    gold coins in just one year,
[11:10] Master
    and dominated the arena as its top
    gladiator for more than twenty years.
[11:15] Master
    I hear they even started
    calling him the "Lion King."
[11:20] Aletta
    That's incredible!
[11:21] Aletta
    If they fought again now, do you
    think he could beat that half-elf?
[11:27] Master
    I wonder...
[11:30] Lionel
    Another pork cutlet rice bowl!
[11:39] Master
    I hope he could.
[11:40] Aletta
    Absolutely. After all, look at
    all the victory bowls he eats.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[11:49] Aletta
    Master, on our menu...
[11:51] Aletta
    The regular menu and the dessert menu
    were written by different people, right?
[11:55] Master
    Hmm? I'm surprised you noticed.
[11:58] Master
    I thought you couldn't read the
    script of the Eastern Continent.
[12:03] Aletta
    W-Well, I can't, but the shapes are different.
[12:07] Aletta
    Also, I do have the menu memorized.
[12:11] Aletta
    P-P-Please don't fire me.
[12:14] Master
    Fried shrimp.

    Shripe caught in the southern sea,
    coated in bread crumbs and fried in oil.

    Beef stew!
[12:30] Aletta
    Welcome!
[12:43] Artorius
    In one of the major nations of the Eastern
    Continent that boasts great power,
[12:49] Artorius
    the Duchy, which stretches back to
    ancient times, there lives a princess.
[12:55] Artorius
    Her name is Victoria.
[12:57] Artorius
    She is the elder sister of the current duke,
    and will be 36 years old this year.
[13:02] Artorius
    She is still unmarried,
[13:06] Artorius
    and they say she is almost certain to
    remain so for the rest of her life.
[13:11] Artorius
    The reason is a trait
    with which she was born.
[13:16] Artorius
    She is a half-elf.
[13:27] Duchess
    Is something the matter?
[13:30] Duchess
    Are you feeling unwell?
[13:32] Victoria
    No, I'm fine.
[13:34] Duke
    But surely being cooped up in
    your chambers must depress you.
[13:38] Victoria
    It's not that. I was only...
[13:41] Duke
    Ah, you were thinking again?
[13:45] Duke
    You're so devoted to your research, Sister.
[13:51] Victoria
    Do you want it?
[13:52] Duke's Son
    Really?
[13:53] Duke's Daughter
    I want some, too!
[13:56] Duchess
    Is it about the storage box
    you mentioned before?
[13:59] Victoria
    Yes. A little longer, and I should
    be able to make a big version.
[14:03] Duchess
    That's wonderful.
[14:06] Victoria
    Well, I'll be going.
[14:08] Duke
    Is that so?
[14:10] Duke
    Please take care not to
    push yourself too hard.
[14:13] Victoria
    Thank you for inviting me.
    We'll chat another time.
[14:18] Artorius
    Victoria's parents were human.
[14:21] Artorius
    Yet Victoria came into
    this world as a half-elf.
[14:27] Artorius
    For even a child of two humans
    may markedly exhibit the traits
[14:33] Artorius
    of elves and half-elves
    who may have mixed into
[14:36] Artorius
    their bloodline over the
    past thousands of years.
[14:39] Artorius
    Those born in this way cannot hope for
    the happiness of an ordinary life.
[14:46] Artorius
    Half-elves inherit the magical prowess
    of elves, and the spirit of humans.
[14:53] Artorius
    They have a lifespan of hundreds of years.
[14:55] Artorius
    Until they reach roughly
    one hundred years of age,
[14:58] Artorius
    they appear to be as young as teenagers.
[15:03] Artorius
    They are beings that defy what humans know.
[15:08] Artorius
    In the human world, they are alien,
    to say nothing of the elves' world.
[15:15] Artorius
    Regardless of their origins,
    they are forced out of ordinary society.
[15:20] Artorius
    Their choices are to reject the
    secular world and serve the gods,
[15:24] Artorius
    to make full use of their long lifespan
    and superhuman magic to become sorcerers,
[15:32] Artorius
    to become mercenaries or adventurers,
    jobs in which ability is everything,
[15:37] Artorius
    or to migrate to one of the small handful
    of half-elf villages across the land.
[15:44] Artorius
    Victoria chose the path of a sorcerer.
[15:50] Artorius
    She appealed to the
    previous duke, her father,
[15:54] Artorius
    saying that she wanted to make
    use of her powerful magic,
[15:57] Artorius
    and so walked along the path of magic.
[16:01] Artorius
    There she learned
[16:03] Artorius
    that she was a genius.
[16:06] Artorius
    It took a mere three months for her
    to surpass her magic tutor's skills
[16:12] Artorius
    and a short year for her to master magic
    beyond the best sorcerer in the Duchy,
[16:15] Artorius
    the court's head sorcerer.
[16:19] Artorius
    At this time, her ability was recognized.
[16:22] Artorius
    And so, ten years ago, she became the pupil
    of the greatest sorcerer in the Kingdom,
[16:26] Artorius
    one of the heroes who
    killed the malevolent god...
[16:31] Artorius
    I, the Sage Artorius.
[16:36] Artorius
    Amazingly, after eight years
    of devotion to her studies,
[16:40] Artorius
    Victoria attained the
    greatest secrets of magic.
[16:43] Artorius
    After this, on my advice,
[16:46] Artorius
    she returned to the Duchy
    to walk her own path.
[16:52] Artorius
    She was granted generous research
    funds on the condition that
[16:56] Artorius
    she would remain out of the spotlight.
[16:59] Artorius
    She continues to push her
    magic research forward
[17:03] Artorius
    in her personal laboratory, under the
    nickname "The Witch Princess of the Duchy."
[17:08] Artorius
    However, there are times when
    even she puts her research aside.
[17:13] Artorius
    To be precise, once every seven days...
[17:21] Victoria narr
    I could have something light.
[17:36] Aletta
    Thank you very much.
[17:44] Aletta
    Welcome.
[17:48] Master
    Welcome.
[17:49] Victoria
    Hello.
[17:54] Aletta
    Here's water and a menu.
[17:57] Victoria
    Thanks.
[18:01] Aletta
    Is she an elf, too?
    So will she order tofu steak?
[18:11] Victoria
    Pudding a la mode.
[18:15] Aletta
    O-Okay, coming right up.
[18:23] Victoria narr
    It really is my writing.
[18:26] Victoria narr
    My master's writing, too.
[18:33] Victoria narr
    But we only gave him one.
[18:39] (Flashback) Master
    Welcome.
[18:41] (Flashback) Master
    Could you write a menu for me, miss?
[18:47] (Flashback) Master
    I decided to add some desserts,
[18:50] (Flashback) Master
    but I don't know a lick of the
    language of the Eastern Continent.
[18:52] (Flashback) Artorius
    I leave it to you. I'm not so fond of sweets.
[18:58] (Flashback) Master
    Here's a pen and paper.
[19:05] (Flashback) Master
    This is the first dish.
[19:08] (Flashback) Master
    I hear you like egg-based sweets.
[19:14] Aletta
    Here you go. One pudding a la mode.
SIGN    Pudding a la Mode
[19:25] Victoria narr
    I'll save the best part for last.
[20:07] Victoria narr
    I'll have it now.
[20:17] Victoria narr
    The velvety texture unique to this dessert
[20:19] Victoria narr
    rolls over my tongue.
[20:22] Victoria narr
    The brown sauce is distinctly sweet,
    with just a hint of bitterness.
[20:28] Victoria narr
    Then, there's the sweetness
    of the pudding itself,
[20:31] Victoria narr
    containing the rich taste of eggs and milk.
[20:35] Victoria narr
    The pudding softly accepts
    the flavor of the sauce,
[20:39] Victoria narr
    and the sauce accents the
    flavor of the pudding.
[20:43] Victoria narr
    This truly is the greatest combination.
[20:53] Victoria
    Check, please.
[20:55] Aletta
    Coming right up.
[20:56] Victoria
    Also...
[20:58] Master
    Got it. The usual, right?
[21:02] Master
    Come again.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[21:04] Aletta
    Thank you very much!
[21:07] Victoria
    Now, then...
[21:17] Aletta
    M-Master, doesn't pudding
    a la mode contain milk and eggs?
[21:23] Master
    That's right.
[21:24] Aletta
    B-But isn't she an elf?
[21:30] Artorius
    Victoria isn't bitter about being a half-elf.
[21:35] Artorius
    It's what enabled her
[21:37] Artorius
    to encounter pudding a la mode in
    the Restaurant to Another World,
[21:40] Artorius
    and to immerse herself in
    researching how to store it.
[21:46] Artorius
    To the Witch Princess of the Duchy,
[21:49] Artorius
    living in the shadows
    wasn't a hardship at all.

[00:12] Aletta
    It was a little while after I started working
    at the Restaurant to Another World
[00:17] Aletta
    that I first ate it.
[00:20] Aletta
    I work from before the store
    opens in the morning,
[00:25] Aletta
    until after all of the diners leave.
[00:29] Aletta
    I start by washing up.
[00:33] Aletta
    Master says you have to be clean to
    work in a place that serves food.
[00:40] Aletta
    I feel like the hot water and
    scented oil is wasted on me,
[00:47] Aletta
    but if it's for our customers,
    it has to be done.
[00:52] Aletta
    Plus, washing my body like this
    leaves me feeling shockingly clean,
[00:59] Aletta
    so I secretly look forward to it a little.
[01:04] Aletta
    After that, I put on soft underclothes
[01:11] Aletta
    and the Restaurant to Another World uniform.
[01:15] Aletta
    Then, after I eat a delicious breakfast,
[01:23] Aletta
    I clean and help Master until
    the first diner arrives.
[01:38] Master
    That's not quite enough.
[01:41] Master
    Aletta-san, help me bring up
    some more ingredients.
[01:45] Aletta
    Yes, sir!
[01:50] Aletta
    Master and I go through the silver door
    in the kitchen, and into a tiny room.
[01:57] Aletta
    He presses the second square
    protrusion from the top,
[02:00] Aletta
    and the room shakes.
[02:08] Aletta
    This is the room where Master stores
    the ingredients he uses in the restaurant.
[02:14] Aletta
    Lots of different ingredients
    are organized neatly
[02:20] Aletta
    in strange brown boxes that are lighter
    and softer than wooden boxes,
[02:24] Aletta
    and curious transparent bags.
[02:30] Master
    I'll carry this.
[02:33] Master
    You get that, please.
[02:36] Master
    It might be a little heavy
    for a girl. Be careful.
[02:39] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[02:46] Master
    All right. Let's get prep done.
[02:55] Aletta
    Are these cobbler's tubers?
[02:57] Master
    That's right.
[02:59] Master
    Oh, right. For some reason,
[03:01] Master
    potatoes are the one thing that tastes
    and looks the same in both worlds.
[03:06] Master
    Hm? What's wrong?
[03:08] Aletta
    Oh, I'm fine. I just don't have very
    fond memories of cobbler's tubers.
[03:19] Master
    What's this? You don't like potatoes—
    I mean, cobbler's tubers?
[03:23] Aletta
    Oh, no. I like all of your
    dishes that use them.
[03:30] Aletta
    They just never turn out
    that well when I cook them.
[03:35] Master
    I see...
[03:37] Master
    If you'd like, I can show you a
    simple way to cook good potatoes.
[03:43] Aletta
    Huh? You'll show me?
[03:49] Aletta
    Please do.
[03:51] Master
    You don't steam food over there, right?
[03:54] Aletta
    Steam... food?
[03:56] Master
    It's not that hard to steam potatoes.
    Want to try that?
[04:01] Aletta
    Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
[04:04] Master
    First, will you wash those for me?
[04:08] Master
    All you need to do is get the dirt off.
[04:10] Aletta
    Yes, sir. I'll do that.
[04:16] Aletta
    I'm curious what this "steaming"
    Master speaks of might be.
[04:22] Aletta
    But first, I have to do the job he asked of me.
[04:27] Aletta
    As I used a mysterious magic tool that
    produces clear water just by twisting
[04:31] Aletta
    to wash the cobbler's tubers,
[04:34] Aletta
    the diners began to arrive...
[04:39] Aletta
    and our work for the day began.

[06:19] Aletta
    Welcome!
[06:22] Sarah
    I'll have the usual. Minced meat cutlets.
[06:24] Aletta
    Okay. Coming right up.
[06:28] Sarah
    By the way, did you find
    a job on the other side?
[06:32] Aletta
    No, not yet.
[06:34] Aletta
    The most I've found are
    odd jobs that last a day.
[06:37] Sarah
    I see... But that's not bad.
[06:41] Sarah
    You work here every Day of Satur,
    so you're managing to get by, right?
[06:45] Aletta
    Yes, I'm managing.
[06:50] Aletta
    Welcome!
[06:54] Artorius
    I'll have the usual.
[06:57] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[06:59] Aletta
    That's a pork loin cutlet and a
    draft beer, right? Coming right up.
[07:02] Sarah
    Hey! Make sure to put
    my order in first, okay?
[07:06] Aletta
    O-Of course.
[07:09] Artorius
    Minced Meat Cutlet, shouting won't
    make your food come any faster.
[07:14] Sarah
    I-I know that, Pork Loin Cutlet.
[07:17] Sarah
    I was only reminding her because
    deep-frying takes a while!
[07:19] Aletta
    Each of the regulars who come almost
    every Day of Satur has a favorite dish
[07:25] Aletta
    that they love so much,
    it becomes their nickname.
[07:32] Aletta
    And they're all convinced
    that their favorite dish
[07:35] Aletta
    is the best dish the restaurant offers.
[07:40] Aletta
    If the topic of which dish
    tastes better comes up,
[07:45] Aletta
    it usually turns into an argument.
[07:48] Aletta
    Master told me that before.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[07:51] Aletta
    Today happened to be one of those days.
[07:55] Heinrich
    Hmph! It's no use talking.
[07:58] Heinrich
    Obviously, shrimp cutlet sandwiches are best.
[08:01] Sarah
    Are you crazy?
[08:02] Sarah
    You've never experienced the taste
    of bread and minced meat cutlets
[08:07] Sarah
    that have been soaked in sauce overnight.
[08:09] Heinrich
    Right back at you, girl.
[08:12] Heinrich
    You're the one who's living in ignorance.
[08:14] Heinrich
    Shripe and tartar sauce is the
    perfect combination, even cold.
[08:22] Sarah
    No, the tastiest sandwich is the
    minced meat cutlet sandwich!
[08:23] Aletta
    Here's your... bread...
[08:26] Heinrich
    Madness!
[08:26] Sarah
    The minced meat cutlets here
    are just as exquisite cold.
[08:27] Tatsugoro
    What are those two fighting about?
[08:30] Sarah
    The minced meat is teeming with meat juices.
[08:30] Artorius
    Seems they're arguing over which
    dish makes a better sandwich.
[08:34] Sarah
    When you bite into it, the juices spill out!
[08:35] Tatsugoro
    Good grief. Is that even worth arguing about?
[08:38] Sarah
    Combine that with the salty-sweet
    sauce soaked into the coating so much
[08:39] Artorius
    What nonsense. I can't eat like this.
[08:42] Sarah
    that it practically turns black,
    and tender vegetables,
[08:44] Sarah
    and it's utterly divine!
[08:46] Heinrich
    Hmph!
[08:47] Heinrich
    This is the problem with Kingdom girls.
[08:50] Heinrich
    Let me tell you about the
    shrimp cutlet sandwiches here.
[08:52] Heinrich
    They have a fruity red vegetable
    and a leafy green vegetable.
[08:56] Heinrich
    When you look at the sandwich
    after you take a bite,
[08:58] Heinrich
    the colorful vegetables contrast
    with the white shripe meat.
[09:03] Heinrich
    Even its appearance is beautiful!
[09:05] Heinrich
    Minced meat cutlets are a
    boring brown inside and out.
[09:09] Heinrich
    They can't compare visually—
    and that's to say nothing of the taste.
[09:12] Sarah
    Excuse me?!
[09:13] Aletta
    Excuse me, could you two please keep it down?
[09:16] Sarah & Heinrich
    Shut up!
[09:21] Artorius
    Come now, you two. Do not quarrel so much.
[09:25] Tatsugoro
    We're all here to enjoy our food.
[09:28] Tatsugoro
    They say that conversation
    can spice up a meal,
[09:31] Tatsugoro
    but take it too far,
    and you'll spoil the taste.
[09:36] Sarah
    You're right. I went too far.
[09:40] Sarah
    I do think shrimp cutlet
    sandwiches are pretty good.
[09:44] Heinrich
    Only pretty good?
[09:46] Heinrich
    Ahem. I was in the wrong, too.
[09:48] Heinrich
    I apologize. As they say, to each their own.
[09:55] Tatsugoro
    This takes me back.
[09:57] Tatsugoro
    We used to argue over
    which dish was better, too.
[10:04] Artorius
    Minced Meat Cutlet the First would say,
[10:06] Artorius
    "Minced meat cutlet is the tastiest cutlet."
[10:09] Artorius
    He and Croquette always fought over it.
[10:22] Artorius
    Yes. Tastes vary from person to person.
[10:26] Artorius
    Minced meat cutlet and
    fried shrimp are both tasty.
[10:30] Artorius
    But the pork loin cutlet sandwich is the
    best thing between two slices of bread.
[10:37] ---
    Huh?
[10:38] Tatsugoro
    Ah, but cutlets are best eaten
    while they're still hot.
[10:41] Tatsugoro
    The tastiest sandwich has to be teriyaki
    chicken, which stays savory even cold.
[10:47] Sarah, Heinrich & Artorius
    Huh?
[10:50] Artorius
    I thought you were a rice man.
[10:54] Artorius
    Can you even put teriyaki
    chicken between bread slices?
[10:59] Tatsugoro
    You're no bread man, yourself! You order
    nothing but beer and pork loin cutlets.
[11:06] Tatsugoro
    Why are you bringing pork loin cutlets
    to an argument about sandwiches?
[11:10] Artorius
    Wait, now. I take home a pork loin
    cutlet sandwich once a month.
[11:16] Artorius
    No vegetables. Only the cutlet,
    its sauce, and mustard.
[11:19] Artorius
    Those three ingredients only
    between slices of buttered bread.
[11:24] Artorius
    It's eating it cold that lets you
    enjoy the savoriness of the oily meat.
[11:31] Artorius
    The meat juices mix with the sauce,
    wrapped up in soft bread.
[11:38] Artorius
    The tang of the tiny bit of mustard
    gives it a kick. Now that's divine.
[11:45] Tatsugoro
    Not so fast. I only learned this recently,
    but teriyaki goes great with bread.
[11:51] Tatsugoro
    Thin slices of teriyaki chicken and fresh
    cucumber slathered in that sweet sauce...
[11:57] Tatsugoro
    Put it with uncooked oranie and sandwich
    it between bread spread with mustard,
[12:02] Tatsugoro
    and curiously, it comes together beautifully.
[12:04] Tatsugoro
    To begin with, I hear that teriyaki
    sandwiches are very popular in this world.

    My vote goes to pork cutlet sandwiches.
[12:13] Lionel
    However! My pork cutlet rice bowls would
    be the best takeout, if they were offered.
[12:18] Lionel
    Another bowl!
[12:19] Aletta
    C-Coming right up.
[12:22] Aletta
    Master, we have an order for
    another pork cutlet rice bowl.
[12:26] Master
    You got it.
[12:28] Gaganpo
    Large omelette rice.
    Three omelette orders to go.
[12:33] Aletta
    W-Welcome.
[12:34] Aletta
    Have a seat wherever you like.
[12:37] Sirius
    If we're talking sandwiches, I say
    spaghetti napolitan in a bun, hands down.
[12:42] Thomas
    Indeed.
[12:43] Thomas
    This restaurant's spaghetti napolitan is
    quite a strong flavor between bread slices.
[12:48] Thomas
    The spaghetti napolitan's
    tangy ketchup taste holds
[12:52] Thomas
    its own against the taste
    of soft white bread.
[12:55] Thomas
    It's a hardy filling,
    and a taste like no other.
[12:58] Sirius
    Hear, hear.
[13:01] Adelheid
    Um, if I may, I think
[13:05] Adelheid
    that the best sandwich is
    fruit sandwiches with cream.
[13:11] Adelheid
    The sweetness of soft cream and
    that of ripe fruit are very different.
[13:17] Adelheid
    So when you combine them,
    it's very exquisite.
[13:20] Aletta
    P-Please, everyone...
[13:23] Victoria
    Custard is better in fruit sandwiches.
[13:28] Victoria
    It's more rich that way,
    and the stronger sweetness
[13:31] Victoria
    works well with the flavor
    of the fruit and bread.
[13:35] Victoria
    And it won't make the bread soggy.
[13:37] Adelheid
    Oh, truly?
[13:39] Adelheid
    But I eat mine as soon as I get home,
    so that isn't a concern for me.
[13:46] Fardania
    How ridiculous.
[13:49] Master
    It's begun, has it?
[14:00] Fardania
    Thanks. It was delicious.
[14:03] Master
    No problem. Thank you very much.
[14:05] Fardania
    By the way, don't you offer any rice takeout?
[14:10] Master
    I do have something.
[14:14] Fardania
    You do?
[14:16] Master
    I think I could offer grilled
    rice balls as takeout.
[14:20] Fardania
    Grilled rice balls?
[14:23] Fardania
    I'll take that, then.
[14:24] Fardania
    None of the food in the town
    where I'm staying satisfies me.
[14:29] Master
    Sure thing. Give me a few minutes.
[14:39] Master
    How should I season them?
[14:42] Master
    I'll start off with my usual
    combination of seaweed soy sauce,
[14:45] Master
    mirin, and sesame seeds sprinkled on.
[14:49] Master
    One will be onion and miso...
[14:52] Master
    Then maybe I'll toss in seaweed
    strips cooked in soy sauce...
[14:56] Sarah
    Argh, enough!
    You'll understand once you try it.
[14:59] Sarah
    Hey!
[15:00] Aletta
    Y-Yes?!
[15:01] Sarah
    A minced cutlet sandwich
    for this stubborn fool.
[15:05] Heinrich
    Then I'll order a shrimp cutlet sandwich.
[15:08] Heinrich
    Give it to the girl.
[15:10] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir. That's a minced meat cutlet
    sandwich and a shrimp cutlet sandwich.
[15:14] Artorius
    Excuse me! I'll try this teriyaki
    chicken sandwich or whatever it is.
[15:18] Aletta
    Yes, sir!
[15:18] Tatsugoro
    I'll have a pork loin cutlet sandwich.
[15:20] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[15:22] Tatsugoro
    Although I'm sure teriyaki
    sandwiches are better.
[15:25] Artorius
    What?
[15:26] Sirius
    A spaghetti napolitan dog for takeout!
[15:29] Thomas
    I'll have the same.
[15:31] Aletta
    That's a minced meat cutlet sandwich, a
    shrimp cutlet sandwich, a teriyaki sandwich,
[15:34] Aletta
    a pork loin cutlet sandwich, and
    two spaghetti napolitan dogs.
[15:37] Gaganpo
    Large omelette rice.
    Three omelette orders to go.
[15:41] Aletta
    Eh? Ah!
[15:43] Aletta
    Excuse me, Master!
[15:44] Aletta
    One large omelette rice and three
    takeout omelettes. A rush on that, please!
[15:50] Chef
    Got it.
[15:51] Victoria
    Since you're so insistent,
    let's compare them both here and now.
[15:56] Victoria
    That will clear things up.
[15:59] Adelheid
    You're on.
[16:01] Adelheid
    Excuse me.
[16:03] Adelheid
    One plate each of fruit sandwiches
    with cream and with custard, please.
[16:08] Lionel
    Another pork cutlet rice bowl!
[16:10] Gaganpo
    Large omelette rice.
    Three omelette orders to go.
[16:14] Artorius
    Another beer.
[16:16] Tatsugoro
    Two more cups of seishu.
[16:18] Aletta
    A ground meat cutlet sandwich,
    a shrimp cutlet sandwich,

SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[17:00] Master
    Sorry it was a little later than usual.
[17:03] Red Queen
    It's no matter.
[17:04] Red Matter
    Farewell. I'll come again.
[17:09] Aletta
    Thank you very much!
[17:18] Aletta
    Then, after watching the final diner leave,
[17:21] Aletta
    carrying that big pot as if it weighs nothing...
[17:26] Master
    Aletta-san, you must be hungry.
[17:31] Aletta
    Yes...
[17:36] Aletta
    Um, Master, what's that?
[17:39] Master
    It's called a steamer basket.
    It's a tool for making steamed dishes.
[17:44] Master
    A strainer or a basket
    would work just as well.
[18:07] Aletta
    Huh? Master, doesn't it need more water?
[18:13] Master
    Nope, this is enough.
[18:16] Master
    With a lot of water, it takes
    more time to come to a boil.
[18:21] Master
    Steaming isn't the same as boiling.
[18:24] Master
    If you heat water in a pot for a long
    time, it starts to steam, right?
[18:28] Master
    The steam transfers the heat.
    That's how you steam food.
[18:33] Master
    Steamed dishes like dim sum were
    my other teacher's specialty.
[18:39] Master
    So I had to practice this as much
    as I practiced making fried rice.
[18:44] Master
    It takes a lot of skill to make
    perfect dumplings or steamed buns,
[18:50] Master
    but steaming potatoes is nothing so hard.
[19:04] Master
    All right. That should do it.
[19:24] Master
    You can tell if they're heated through
    by poking them with a skewer like this.
[19:29] Master
    Try it.
[19:31] Aletta
    Okay...
[19:34] Master
    Once it goes in easily,
[19:38] Master
    all you need to do is season
    it to your taste and eat up.
[19:42] Master
    Salt, cheese, miso, soy sauce,
    ketchup, mayonnaise...
[19:47] Master
    You can top it with salted fish guts,
    too, but we're out right now.
SIGN    Unsalted Butter
[19:52] Master
    This is the most fundamental topping.
[19:59] Master
    Order up. Steamed potato with butter.
SIGN    Steamed Potato With Butter
[20:04] Aletta
    It smells good.
[20:06] Master
    Go ahead. Eat up.
[20:10] Aletta
    O god of demons... Thank you
    for another wonderful meal.
[20:28] Aletta
    I didn't think that cobbler's tubers
    could become this delicious
[20:33] Aletta
    just by steaming them.
[20:40] Aletta
    In place of words, my breath
    spills out in quick puffs.
[20:45] Aletta
    The freshly steamed cobbler's
    tuber is very hot.
[20:49] Aletta
    It crumbles in my mouth
    while the steam escapes.
[20:55] Aletta
    At the same time, the butter melted on top
[21:01] Aletta
    makes it slide down my throat easily.
[21:05] Aletta
    Maybe it's because this cobbler's tuber was
    cooked with that strange steaming method
[21:11] Aletta
    that the flavor is stronger than
    an ordinary cobbler's tuber,
[21:15] Aletta
    and I even find it delicious.
[21:18] Aletta
    This is the first time I've had a cobbler's
    tuber that tasted so good.
[21:24] Aletta
    I can't stop eating it, and before
    I know it, I've finished it.
[21:29] Master
    Steamed potatoes are so good plain that
[21:34] Master
    almost any seasoning goes well with them.
[21:37] Master
    Want another?
[21:39] Aletta
    Yes, please!
[21:44] Aletta
    I never dreamed that the cobbler's
    tubers I ate just to survive
[21:48] Aletta
    could become such a delicious dish.
[21:54] Aletta
    Needless to say, after that, cobbler's tubers
[21:58] Aletta
    turned into my favorite food, potatoes.

    Master, you've taken great care of me.

    You have my thanks.
[00:14] Master
    Pardon?
[00:17] Master
    Thank you.
[00:20] Master
    Come again.
SIGN    I will, one of these days.
[02:18] Narrator
    Admiral Flugel. Is something the matter?
[02:21] Alphonse
    Now that I think about it,
[02:23] Alphonse
    merely waiting for seven thousand days
[02:28] Alphonse
    and waiting for a short seven
    days one thousand times
[02:32] Alphonse
    are completely different.
[02:34] Narrator
    Sir? What do you mean?
[02:36] Alphonse
    Oh, just thinking aloud.
[02:39] Alphonse
    Pay it no mind.
[02:43] Narrator
    About twenty years ago, the strongest navy
    admiral in the Duchy, Alphonse Flugel,
[02:50] Narrator
    was providing escort to a
    fleet of merchant vessels
[02:53] Narrator
    heading for the western continent.
[02:56] Narrator
    When suddenly attacked by the
    master of the seas, Kraken,
[03:00] Narrator
    the admiral secured every
    merchant vessel's escape.
[03:04] Narrator
    But their escape came at the cost of
    his own ship, which was destroyed
[03:08] Narrator
    and sank.
[03:10] Narrator
    He went missing.
[03:15] Narrator
    After this, he was washed ashore on
    a remote island in the far seas.
[03:33] Narrator
    In accordance with survival of the fittest,
[03:36] Narrator
    he killed and ate the beasts of the island.
[03:43] Narrator
    He spent twenty long years surviving
[03:46] Narrator
    without a single soul other
    than himself on the island.
[03:52] Narrator
    Three days ago,
    after sailing through a storm,
[03:55] Narrator
    we landed on this island to
    repair our damaged ship.
[04:01] Narrator
    We met him and took him into our care.
[04:06] Narrator
    Yet he seemed reluctant to leave the island
[04:10] Narrator
    now that rescue was here.
[04:19] Alphonse
    There. That'll do.
[04:35] Alphonse
    I suppose I'll go, then.

[04:58] Narrator
    We finished our repairs in three days,
[05:02] Narrator
    then we took the former admiral aboard
[05:04] Narrator
    and departed from the island.
[05:08] Alphonse
    Will there be a door in the Duchy, too?
[05:13] Alphonse
    I believe there was a Duchy
    knight among the diners.

    Now that's a delicious dish.

    Much better than eating
    pork cutlet by itself.

[09:43] Kuro
    In my long, deep solitude,
[09:49] Kuro
    today, too, I think back on that time.
[09:55] Kuro
    More aggressive and brave than anyone,
[09:59] Kuro
    her flames could burn the
    entire world to ashes: Red.
[10:04] Kuro
    Her opposite, the always-calm
    avatar of the sea,
[10:07] Kuro
    who controls water and ice at will: Blue.
[10:12] Kuro
    The sly dragon who lived a long life,
    fearing death more than anyone,
[10:17] Kuro
    who knows every inch of the skies and
    even controls the heavens: Gold.
[10:22] Kuro
    The dragon who can draw out the power
[10:24] Kuro
    of the earth with roots plunged
    deep into the earth: Green.
[10:29] Kuro
    My opposite, who controls the growth
    of living beings and light: White.
[10:38] Kuro
    And
[10:40] Kuro
    the one with the power to
    bring death to everything:
[10:43] Kuro
    me.
[10:45] Kuro
    There were seven of us dragons in all.
[10:48] Kuro
    Simply to avoid being eaten,
[10:51] Kuro
    we all joined forces
[10:52] Kuro
    to fight Chaos of the Many Tentacles.
[10:57] Kuro
    It was a truly brutal battle.
[11:00] Kuro
    Over and over again, we lost.
[11:02] Kuro
    Over and over again, we were almost eaten.
[11:04] Kuro
    Over and over again, we fled.
[11:07] Kuro
    After a thousand-year battle,
[11:09] Kuro
    we destroyed it.
[11:16] Kuro
    All of the beings born
    after the battle were weak.
[11:22] Kuro
    So much that they would die
[11:25] Kuro
    simply from absorbing the weak death magic
[11:28] Kuro
    radiated by my mere presence.
[11:31] Kuro
    If they were enemies,
    I'd spare it no thought.
[11:36] Kuro
    Enemies are meant to be fought and killed.
[11:40] Kuro
    But I didn't want innocent beings to die
[11:44] Kuro
    merely because I was there.
[11:50] Kuro
    Because I felt that it made me the
    same as the thing I hated most.
[11:57] Kuro
    That's why, shortly after the fight,
[12:00] Kuro
    when we divided the world
    into our territories,
[12:04] Kuro
    I took the end of the sky,
[12:07] Kuro
    which is brimming with magic,
[12:09] Kuro
    but contains no living things.
[12:12] Kuro
    If there are no living things,
[12:15] Kuro
    there will be no death.
[12:18] Kuro
    And so today, I will again think alone.

    Unchanging.

SIGN    Chicken Curry
[13:38] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience.
[13:40] Aletta
    Here's your chicken curry.
[13:42] Aletta
    It's spicier than your usual,
    so please be careful.
[13:46] Alphonse
    I'll start, then.
[13:48] Aletta
    Please take your time and enjoy.
[13:54] Alphonse
    This is indeed quite different from my usual.
[13:58] Alphonse
    A deep dish filled with
    a curry-colored soup.
[14:02] Alphonse
    Skinless fowl meat swims in
    the soup here and there.
[14:08] Alphonse
    I don't see any other ingredients.
[14:11] Alphonse
    How can this be?
[14:14] Alphonse
    There's a plate of the white rice that
    puts the "rice" in "curry rice" beside it.
[14:20] Alphonse
    This looks completely different
    from rice covered in curry.
[14:28] Alphonse
    It has a strong aroma, though.
[14:31] Alphonse
    I'll start with just the soup.
[14:40] Alphonse
    That's hot!
[14:50] Alphonse
    Curry belongs with rice, after all.
[15:00] Alphonse
    Not only does eating it with rice
[15:02] Alphonse
    mellow the spiciness that
    assailed me a moment ago,
[15:06] Alphonse
    but I can detect a savoriness that
    was absent with only the soup.
[15:10] Alphonse
    It isn't that the curry
    doesn't have vegetables.
[15:14] Alphonse
    The vegetables are completely
    dissolved in it.
[15:20] Alphonse
    What?!
[15:21] Alphonse
    It's so tender that it crumbles apart
    the moment I put it in my mouth!
[15:25] Alphonse
    The savoriness of curry has condensed
[15:27] Alphonse
    into the meat from absorbing
    the flavor of the soup!
[15:30] Alphonse
    This fowl meat is truly worthy
    of being the dish's namesake!
[15:38] Master
    What do you think, Alphonse-san?
[15:41] Master
    I was a little worried it wouldn't be
    palatable to those from your side,
[15:44] Master
    since I made it extra-spicy.
[15:47] Alphonse
    Yes, this is far spicier than my usual curry.
    It's an entirely different dish.
[15:54] Alphonse
    But this is delicious, too.
[15:56] Alphonse
    Can I get another?
[15:58] Master
    Thank you.
[16:00] Kuro
    I'll have that, too.
[16:02] Everyone
    Huh?!
[16:07] Aletta
    W-W-W-W-Wait! What are you thinking?!
[16:10] Kuro
    Is something the matter?
[16:12] Master
    Er, miss...
[16:15] Master
    Um... clothes...
[16:17] Kuro
    Clothes?
[16:22] Kuro
    I see.
[16:27] Kuro
    Is this acceptable?
[16:29] Master
    Huh? Y-Yes.
[16:32] Master
    This "magic" stuff is incredible.
[16:36] Alphonse
    That's an elf for you.
[16:38] Alphonse
    So they even use magic like this.
[16:42] Alphonse
    Master. Chicken curry for the girl.
[16:46] Alphonse
    Put it on my bill.
[16:49] Master
    All right. That'll be right out.
[17:01] Artorius
    I-Impossible...
[17:03] Artorius
    No, don't tell me...
[17:07] Artorius
    Don't tell me it's another of her kind?
[17:11] Artorius
    If so, I can do nothing but watch.
[17:16] Aletta
    Thank you for waiting.
[17:18] Aletta
    Here's your chicken curry.
[17:20] Alphonse
    All right. Let's eat up.
[17:43] Kuro
    It's good.
[17:55] Kuro
    Another.
[17:57] Aletta
    Huh?!
[17:58] Aletta
    Um, yes! Coming right up.
[18:05] Alphonse
    Another!
[18:06] Aletta
    Yes, sir!
[18:10] Aletta
    Um, Master?
[18:13] Aletta
    They both asked for another
    chicken curry... but...
[18:18] Alphonse
    I'll pay for the girl.
[18:21] Alphonse
    Let her eat her fill.
[18:24] Master
    Is that so?
[18:26] Master
    Well, it'll be a while yet before the bag
    of gold coins you left with us runs out.
SIGN    I'll leave you to it, then.
[18:33] Master
    Yes, sir. Wait just a minute.
[18:38] Aletta
    Thank you for waiting.
[18:39] Aletta
    Here's your chicken curry.
[18:44] Alphonse & Kuro
    Another.
[18:45] Aletta
    Thanks for waiting.
    Here's your chicken curry.
[18:54] Alphonse & Kuro
    Another.
[19:00] Alphonse
    I believe that'll be enough for me...
[19:02] Kuro
    Another.
[19:05] Aletta
    Thanks for waiting!
    Here's your chicken curry!
[19:36] Aletta
    Welcome. I'll take that for you.
[19:38] Aletta
    Oof...
[19:40] Red
    What's this?
[19:41] Red
    Another very rare one is here.
[19:45] Kuro
    Red.
[19:46] Red
    In the flesh.
[19:50] Kuro
    It's been a while.
[19:55] Aletta
    Will you be having the usual—
[19:56] Red
    Beef stew.
[19:57] Aletta
    Y-Yes. Coming right up.
[20:02] Red
    A door appeared in your
    territory as well, then?
[20:05] Kuro
    Yes.
[20:07] Red
    I have a question for you.
[20:10] Kuro
    What?
[20:12] Red
    What is the tastiest dish
    in this restaurant?
[20:18] Kuro
    Chicken curry.
[20:21] Red
    Oh? Very well.
[20:25] Red
    I'll tell you something good.
[20:28] Red
    In this restaurant, you need
    something called "money"
[20:32] Red
    if you wish to eat any of the dishes,
    including this chicken curry or whatever.
[20:36] Kuro
    Money?
[20:37] Red
    I doubt you'll dine and dash,
    but I'll tell you anyway.
[20:42] Red
    This is part of my territory.
[20:44] Red
    I won't allow any tomfoolery here.
[20:47] Red
    If you threaten this place,
    be ready to pay with your life.
[20:49] Kuro
    I don't have any of this "money."
[20:52] Kuro
    What should I do?
[20:53] Red
    It's simple.
[20:55] Red
    You need only work.
[20:57] Red
    Humans acquire money by working.
[21:01] Kuro
    Work...
[21:02] Red
    Hey. Master.
[21:04] Master
    Yes?
[21:05] Red
    This one's name is Kuro.
[21:07] Red
    She's an old friend of mine.
[21:10] Red
    She lives in the middle of nowhere,
    so she's never seen money before.
[21:14] Red
    But apparently she's taken
    a shine to your cooking.
[21:18] Red
    If you don't mind,
    could you take her on here?
[21:23] Aletta
    Huh?!
[21:24] Red
    I can vouch that she'll work diligently.
[21:27] Red
    Any leftover chicken curry
    will do for her wages.
[21:32] Master
    Erm...
[21:34] Master
    Miss, is that okay with you?
[21:37] Kuro
    Yes.
[21:39] Master
    I see. Then come back the
    next time the door appears.
[21:44] Kuro
    I will.
[21:47] Aletta
    M-Master?
[21:49] Aletta
    A-Are you unhappy with me?!
[21:53] Aletta
    Is it because I have too many
    seconds of my staff meals?!
[21:56] Aletta
    Y-You're not going to fire me, are you?!
[21:58] Master
    N-No, it's not like that...

[01:38] Rokei
    Hey, uh...
[01:48] Rokei
    Uh, listen...
[01:50] Rokei
    Are you sure this is the place?
    It's an uninhabited island...
[02:01] Arte
    When I found it, I didn't have any money.
[02:05] Arte
    This is thanks to you, Rokei. I'm grateful.
[02:10] Rokei
    I met Arte three days ago.
[02:13] Rokei
    I was out fishing on the boat I got
    from my dad, like any other day.
[02:21] Rokei
    Only the weather suddenly
    changed into a storm that day.
[02:28] Rokei
    The waves swept me overboard.
[02:32] Rokei
    Just when I was about to drown,
    Arte rescued me.
[02:49] (Flashback) Rokei
    Huh?
[02:50] Rokei
    With the swimming skill of a mermaid
    undaunted by the storm,
[02:53] Rokei
    she carried me back to the boat
[02:56] Rokei
    and prayed to the water god,
    quieting the waves.
[03:12] Rokei
    After the storm ended,
[03:14] Rokei
    Arte carried me and my ship
    to an inhabited island.
[03:21] (Flashback) Rokei
    Thanks. Um, what's your name?
[03:25] (Flashback) Arte
    Arte.
[03:26] (Flashback) Rokei
    Arte?
[03:28] (Flashback) Rokei
    I'm Rokei. Thank you, truly.
[03:31] (Flashback) Rokei
    I would have died if not for you.
[03:35] (Flashback) Rokei
    I would do anything to repay you.
    Do you need any—
[03:39] (Flashback) Arte
    Ten silver coins.
[03:49] (Flashback) Rokei
    Here.
[03:52] (Flashback) Rokei
    What are you going to do with them?
[03:54] (Flashback) Arte
    Use them at a place.
[03:57] (Flashback) Rokei
    What place?
[03:58] (Flashback) Arte
    Go with me.
[04:00] (Flashback) Arte
    Meet me here in three days,
    on the Day of Satur.
[04:03] (Flashback) Rokei
    Satur?
[04:07] (Flashback) Rokei
    I-I will.
[04:22] Rokei
    I wouldn't profess to know
    everything in the world,
[04:26] Rokei
    but I'd never heard of mermaids
    buying things the way humans do.
[04:32] Rokei
    And it's not just mermaids.
    Even monster races that appear human
SIGN    1 Gold Coin = 100 Silver Coins
[04:35] Rokei
    usually don't think of gold or
    silver coins as having value.
SIGN    1 Silver Coin = 10 Copper Coins
[04:43] Rokei
    You can't eat them, and they
    could never be weapons.
[04:46] Rokei
    Rocks, flowers, scales, and
    fangs make prettier ornaments.
[04:54] Rokei
    They can't comprehend why
    humans, elves, and dwarves
[04:59] Rokei
    seem to want money.
[05:07] Rokei
    But Arte was different.
[05:10] Rokei
    She lived with the merpeople of the
    south sea, who worship the blue god.
SIGN    Empire
[05:15] Rokei
    Because they mingled with humans
    who also worship the blue god,
SIGN    Kingdom
SIGN    Land of Mountains
SIGN    Duchy
[05:20] Rokei
    they understood the value of money.
SIGN    Land of Sea
[05:22] Rokei
    But the merpeople of the north sea, which
    she was visiting to train as a priestess,
[05:27] Rokei
    don't worship the blue god and
    don't interact with humans.
[05:32] Rokei
    So even if they had money,
    they'd have no use for it, apparently.
[05:37] Rokei
    But...
[05:39] (Flashback) Rokei
    Where on the island?
[05:42] (Flashback) Arte
    In that forest.
[05:44] (Flashback) Rokei
    I see...
[05:47] (Flashback) Rokei
    But...
[05:48] (Flashback) Arte
    It's not a problem.
[06:00] (Flashback) Arte
    I can pray to the blue god
    for the legs of a dragon.
[06:07] (Flashback) Arte
    I can't get wings yet, though.
[06:10] (Flashback) Rokei
    Th-That's amazing.
[06:12] (Flashback) Arte
    Let's go. There are more
    people the later it gets.
[06:22] Arte
    This is it.
[06:24] Rokei
    What's a door doing here?
[06:28] Arte
    We're going in.

    Welcome.
[06:36] Rokei
    Wh-What is this place?
[06:37] Master
    C'mon in. Oh, it's been a while, Arte-san.
[06:40] Arte
    It has. May I order?
[06:43] Master
    Go right ahead.
[06:45] Master
    And for your companion?
[06:48] Arte
    Two demi-glace Hamburg steaks with rice.

    Only once every seven days?

    Huh?! Wh-What is this?

    It makes me want rice.

    Th-This is incredible!

    Ith gooh with egg yoh, too.
[08:32] Rokei
    It is!

    It's even better with the egg.

    Understood. One moment, please.

    Thank you.
[09:17] Rokei
    What is it?
[09:18] Arte
    I only brought one silver coin.
[09:22] Rokei
    Oh, I see.
[09:27] Rokei
    It's okay. I'll pay today.
[09:30] Arte
    Are you sure?
[09:31] Rokei
    Of course. I owe you for
    taking me to this great spot.
[10:02] Rokei
    You wanted those silver coins so you

    W-Will you go there with me again?

    I feel so happy.
[11:40] (Flashback) Sarah
    So it was you.

    That's great! I'll ask

[12:05] (Flashback) Aletta
    R-Really?
[12:07] (Flashback) Sarah
    You bet.

    Maybe I'll borrow the kitchen

    and try making steamed potatoes
    with butter like Master taught me.

    Above us?

    Anyway, no need to hold back. Eat them.

    Wait, isn't this...

    You looked like you were holding
    back in the break room.

    You don't dislike cookies, right?
[14:42] Aletta
    Of course, I do like cookies,
    but aren't these expensive?
[14:48] Master
    Well... I guess they're pricey, sure.
[14:51] Master
    They're gift boxes, after all.

    But I can buy them at a
    business discount, so...
[14:56] Aletta
    I-I can really have this?
[15:00] Master
    You bet. I told you,
    it's a congratulatory gift.
[15:04] Master
    So eat them with no restraint.

    Thank you so much.
[15:07] Aletta
    I'll treasure them
    forev—uh... I'll eat them.
[15:10] Master
    Yup. Don't treasure them too much.
[15:14] Master
    Once you open it, they'll only
    last half a month at most.

    Also, the silica gel at the bottom...

    Pleased to meet you. Miss Sarah

    I'll bring you tea.

    Sarah... When in the world did
    you go and hire a demon girl?

    To Miss Shia, her older sister
    by five years, Miss Sarah,
[17:03] Butler narr
    is afflicted by William's curse,
[17:05] Butler narr
    which passes down in the Gold
    family every generation.
[17:08] Butler narr
    William's curse... The feverish
    adoration of adventure.
[17:14] Butler narr
    Every generation, a number of
[17:17] Butler narr
    Gold family members are possessed
    by this troublesome fever.
[17:20] Butler narr
    They abandon their place in the
    large trading company family
[17:24] Butler narr
    and become a treasure
    hunter or an adventurer.
[17:28] Butler narr
    Ultimately, they are almost
    certain to lose their lives...
[17:34] Butler narr
    To Miss Shia, William's curse is personal
[17:39] Butler narr
    because her sister Miss Sarah
    was afflicted with it.
[17:46] Butler narr
    When Miss Sarah is in the capital,
    Miss Shia visits her house
[17:52] Butler narr
    to check on her health and safety.
[17:58] Aletta
    Here you go.
[18:04] Shia
    Are these baked goods?
[18:06] Aletta
    Yes. They're a special type of
    baked good called cookies.
[18:11] Aletta
    The tea is hack tea.
[18:13] Shia
    Thank you. I'll help myself.
[18:21] Shia narr
    I don't hate the bitter,
    refreshing taste itself,
[18:25] Shia narr
    but without something sweet...
[18:30] Shia narr
    If they're baked goods, are they sweet?
[18:33] Shia narr
    They all look like different types.
[18:35] Shia narr
    They're quite exquisitely made...
[18:47] Shia narr
    But how do they taste?
[18:58] Shia narr
    This is of outstanding quality.
[19:01] Shia narr
    Are they all like this?
[19:03] Shia narr
    Is this really baked?
[19:06] Shia narr
    The color is awfully light.
[19:09] Shia narr
    And what's this dark brown part?
[19:15] Shia narr
    What is this?!
[19:16] Shia narr
    The outside is crunchy, and the
    inside is sweet and moist.
[19:21] Shia narr
    It goes together incredibly well.
[19:28] Shia narr
    This is an incredible treat!
[19:45] Shia
    That was delicious.
[19:47] Aletta
    I'm glad to hear it.
[19:49] Shia
    Where did you get these?
[19:51] Shia
    Or did my sister buy them?
[19:54] Aletta
    That's, um...
[19:58] Shia
    There's a reason you can't
    tell me, isn't there?
[20:00] Shia
    I'll ask a different question, then.
[20:04] Shia
    Can you get these again?
[20:07] Aletta
    U-Um... Probably.
[20:10] Aletta
    But I think they're incredibly expensive.
[20:14] Shia
    Are they?
[20:15] Aletta
    There were lots of cookies in a
    pretty metal box about this size.
[20:21] Shia
    Show me the box.
[20:23] Aletta
    Yes, miss. I'll be right back.
[20:26] Shia
    I see...
[20:27] Shia
    This would be expensive.
[20:30] Aletta
    The cookies I served to
    you were the last ones.
[20:35] Shia
    All right.
[20:38] Shia
    Can you buy me another one like this
    whenever you next get a chance?
[20:43] Aletta
    Th-That's a gold coin!
[20:45] Shia
    That's right. It's my pocket money for
    an entire month, so don't lose it.
[20:49] Shia
    I doubt it would cost an entire gold coin.
[20:53] Shia
    I'd judge it at about forty
    or fifty silver coins per box.
[21:00] Shia
    So I'm giving you this much just in case.
[21:03] Shia
    I'll take the change back later.
[21:06] Shia
    But don't worry. I'll prepare
    a separate "thank you" for this.
[21:14] Shia
    I'm counting on you.
[21:16] Aletta
    Y-Yes.
[21:20] Sarah
    Oh! Shia, you're here?
[21:22] Sarah
    Why are you gripping my housekeeper's hands?
[23:04] Shia
    Are you serious?!
[23:05] Shia
    You got it for one silver coin, and even
    the big one was only two silver coins?!
[23:10] Aletta
    Yes, so I went ahead and bought both.
[23:13] Shia
    Eat them with me.
[23:15] Shia
    Have as many as you like.
[23:16] Shia
    That will do for your reward, right?
[23:18] Aletta
    O-Of course!
[23:21] Shia
    Sarah, will you try some, too?
[23:28] Sarah
    Sure. I'll try them out.

[01:32] Garde
    Can I ask you a question?
[01:35] Guilhem
    What?
[01:36] Garde
    Why are we climbin' this mountain?
[01:39] Guilhem
    We're on our way to eat, o' course.
[01:42] Guilhem
    The restaurant we're going to
    serves spirits and fish so tasty,
[01:46] Guilhem
    it's out of this world.
[01:49] Garde
    I'm asking why we're traipsing through
    the mountains to go eat fish!
[01:57] Garde
    You dunderhead!
[02:00] Guilhem
    Because the restaurant's this way.
[02:03] Guilhem
    We're almost there.
[02:06] Garde
    A restaurant in the middle of the
    mountains could never serve good fish.
[02:12] Guilhem
    This is it.
[02:17] Garde
    Guilhem... All I see is
    some rickety old shack.
[02:23] Guilhem
    That's right, and I put it up.
    'Scuse the ugliness.
[02:28] Garde
    Listen, Guilhem. I think of you as a friend.
[02:34] Garde
    But—
[02:37] Garde
    What's that door?
[02:39] Guilhem
    I told you, didn't I?
[02:41] Guilhem
    It's the door to a restaurant that
    serves good alcohol and fish.

SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[02:49] Kuro
    Welcome.
[02:51] Guilhem
    What the?
[02:55] Guilhem
    W-Wait, now.
[03:00] Guilhem
    Everyone else looks calm.
[03:03] Garde
    They do.
[03:04] Guilhem
    Is the master in the kitchen?
[03:06] Kuro
    Yes. Please take a seat.
[03:09] Kuro
    I'll bring your menus.
[03:11] Guilhem
    No need. I already know my order.
[03:15] Guilhem
    What's in the fried seafood today?
[03:18] Kuro
    Cod, squid rings, and scallops.
[03:20] Guilhem
    I see, I see! I'll take two,
    one for me and one for my friend here.
[03:25] Guilhem
    Plus two mugs of beer and a
    bottle of whiskey with rocks.
[03:30] Guilhem
    That'll be it for now.
[03:32] Kuro
    I'll put that in.
[03:34] Guilhem
    And make that a rush. We're knackered
    from climbing a mountain.
[03:39] Kuro
    Understood.
[03:41] Guilhem
    Now I can finally take a breather.
[03:43] Garde
    By the by, Guilhem.
    This "beer" and "whiskey" stuff...
[03:48] Garde
    Are they the tasty spirits you mentioned?
[03:51] Guilhem
    Aye.
[03:51] Garde
    Is it really so good that you, the best
    brewer among us dwarves, would praise it?
[03:56] Guilhem
    This restaurant has all kinds
    of spirits I've never seen before.
[04:01] Garde
    Really now?
[04:01] Guilhem
    And each and every one is so good,
    it'll knock you out of your boots.
[04:05] Garde
    What?! Is this true?!
[04:07] Guilhem
    It's true, my friend!
[04:08] Garde
    Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to this.
[04:10] Guilhem
    As am I!
[04:16] Kuro
    Two fried seafood platters, two mugs of beer,
[04:20] Kuro
    and a bottle of whiskey with rocks.
[04:23] Aletta
    Okay. Master, I'll pour the beer.
[04:27] Master
    All right. Thanks.
[04:29] Aletta
    At Nekoya, we fill a beer mug in three stages,
    with a 7:3 ratio of beer to foam.
[04:33] Aletta
    Please remember this, Kuro-san.
[04:36] Kuro
    Okay.
[04:37] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience!
    Here are your beers.
[04:40] Guilhem
    They're here, eh?
    We've been waiting for this.
[04:43] Garde
    Oho! So this is the ale of another world!
[04:48] Garde
    Well, doesn't that look pretty?
[04:52] Aletta
    It'll be a little longer on the rest of
    your order. Please relax and enjoy.
[05:01] Garde
    Ready?
[05:01] Guilhem
    Bottoms up!
[05:12] Garde
    This "beer" stuff is pretty good!
[05:16] Guilhem
    Ain't it? I can't get enough of that
    feeling as it goes down the throat.
[05:19] Guilhem
    Not only that, it's nice and cold.
[05:21] Guilhem
    I think this every time—I can't
    get enough of drinking beer cold.
[05:25] Garde
    Shall we have another mug, Guilhem?
[05:28] Guilhem
    That goes without saying!
[05:30] Garde
    Lass! Two more mugs of this "beer"!
[05:35] Guilhem
    And make 'em big!
[05:37] Aletta
    Oh, would you like the large mugs, then?
[05:40] Guilhem
    Anything'll do as long as it's big!
[05:41] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir. Coming right up!
[05:46] Garde
    These glass mugs are pretty nice.
[05:51] Garde
    You get a good view of the
    pretty color through them.
[05:55] Garde
    I'll have to try making one of these myself.
[05:59] Guilhem
    You specialize in elaborate pieces.
    Won't it bore you?
[06:05] Garde
    No, the clear beer itself
    is like a decoration.
[06:10] Garde
    Adding more to the design
    would detract from it.
[06:13] Guilhem
    I thought you'd say that.
[06:16] Garde
    Plus, making something this transparent,
[06:19] Garde
    and in such a uniform shape,
    takes more than time and effort.
[06:24] Garde
    It requires quite a lot of skill, as well.
[06:27] Guilhem
    I see. The words of a top glassmith.
[06:32] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience.
    Here are your large draft beers.
[06:37] Aletta
    I-I'm sorry.
[06:38] Guilhem
    It's no matter.
[06:41] Garde
    I didn't expect it to be this much bigger!
[06:45] Aletta
    Take your time and enjoy.
[06:56] Kuro
    Your meal is served.
[06:59] Kuro
    Here's your fried seafood.
SIGN    Fried Seafood
[07:05] Garde
    So this is the tasty seafood
    you like so much.
[07:09] Guilhem
    Aye.
[07:11] Garde
    It looks good, but if it's from
    a restaurant in the mountains...
[07:15] Guilhem
    Eat it before you judge it.
[07:16] Guilhem
    The leaf-shaped one is fish,
    then there's mollusk,
[07:21] Guilhem
    and some other sea creature called "squid."
    Don't know what it is.
[07:24] Garde
    I see... Well, if you say so.
[07:37] Garde
    Th-This is the taste of fish?!
[07:40] Guilhem
    Different from the salty fish
    we normally gulp down, ain't it?
[07:45] Garde
    This is tasty!
[07:46] Guilhem
    Told you so.
[07:48] Garde
    Delicious. Delicious!
[07:51] Garde
    Now this won't do. Another beer!
[07:54] Guilhem
    Make that two!
[07:55] Aletta
    Yes, coming right up.
[07:58] Garde
    Not yet. I haven't eaten enough yet.
[08:06] Garde
    What an incredible crunch.
[08:07] Garde
    And every bite oozes with flavor.
[08:10] Kuro
    Here you go.
[08:17] Garde
    Delicious!
[08:18] Garde
    Another beer!
[08:20] Kuro
    Understood.
[08:23] Garde
    Last is this "scallops" stuff...
[08:31] Garde
    This is tasty, too!
[08:35] Garde
    It's much more tender than that squid,
    and it has a unique crunch, too.
[08:39] Garde
    And this savory taste!
[08:41] Garde
    Dare I call it the taste of the sea itself?
[08:45] Guilhem
    This beer and fish is truly delicious.
[08:49] Garde
    No fair, Guilhem. Have you
    always been eating this?
[08:57] Guilhem
    The combination of this tartar sauce stuff
[09:00] Guilhem
    and fried fish is perfection.
[09:06] Garde
    G-Guilhem, what is that stuff?
[09:09] Guilhem
    This here is called tartar sauce.
[09:13] Guilhem
    It's the ultimate seasoning
    for fish. Can't do without it.
[09:18] Garde
    Why didn't you say so sooner?!
[09:22] Guilhem
    Apologies.
[09:24] Aletta
    Here's your whiskey—
[09:26] Garde
    You, lass! Three more plates
    of fried seafood, fast as ya can!
[09:31] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[09:32] Guilhem
    Ah, little miss. I'll have
    another three plates, too.
[09:36] Aletta
    U-Understood, sir.
[09:38] Guilhem
    The food's tasty here, but the
    portions are a bit small for a dwarf.
[09:44] Garde
    Yup. Let's eat and drink a lot today.
[09:48] Garde
    It's on me this time.
[09:50] Guilhem
    I knew you'd say that!
[09:53] Garde
    Now, let's drink.
[09:56] Garde
    This whiskey... This aroma...
[10:00] Garde
    It's similar to the spirits you make.
[10:03] Guilhem
    Is it, now? Well, let's drink up!
[10:14] Garde
    The alcohol of this other
    world is delicious. All of it.
[10:17] Garde
    Is this the garden of the gods?
[10:19] Guilhem
    Could be. Everything here is
    incomparable to what's in our world.
[10:25] Garde
    Could there be even more delicious
    alcohol and fish out there?
[10:29] Guilhem
    You bet!
[10:31] Guilhem
    That seishu stuff made from
    Western Continent rice is especially good!
[10:37] Guilhem
    The wine here is on another level, too.
[10:41] Guilhem
    There are plenty of delicious fish
    dishes that aren't fried, too.
[10:46] Guilhem
    I wish I could come here every day!
[10:49] Garde
    I'm with you there!
[11:03] Garde
    So it wasn't a dream.
[11:08] Garde
    I suppose I have to be grateful to him.
[11:13] Garde
    First, maybe I'll improve this
    shack a bit for next time.
[11:18] Master
    The stone cabin that sprung up
[11:21] Master
    in those mountains after this
    stuck out like a sore thumb.
[11:25] Master
    It became treasured as a
    rest stop for travelers
[11:27] Master
    and merchants visiting the dwarf town.
[11:31] Master
    Its dwarf caretakers made straw
    beds and left warm blankets,
[11:36] Master
    making them so comfortable that you
    can fall asleep right after getting in.
[11:42] Master
    But the cabin has one mystery.
[11:45] Master
    Installed in the back of the cabin is a
    steel door so thick and sturdy that even
[11:51] Master
    a strike from the best
    dwarven axe can't break it.
[11:54] Master
    Only the dwarves who built the
    cabin have a key to the door.
[11:59] Master
    They say that there's nothing on the other
    side, save for an extremely tiny room.
[12:09] Master
    Why did they put up a door worthy of a
    treasure vault in such a pointless place?
[12:17] Master
    Only the cabin's builders
    themselves know the answer.

    Thank you very much.

[12:54] Old Man
    Come one, come all!
[12:56] Old Man

[13:10] Shareef narr
    Iced coffee has spread in a flash.
[13:18] Renner narr
    The southern part of the Western Continent—
[13:20] Renner narr
    In our country, the Land of Sand,
[13:23] Renner narr
    magic is much more common
    than in other lands.
[13:26] Renner narr
    Going purely by the vastness of land,
[13:29] Renner narr
    there is no bigger country
    than the Land of Sand
[13:32] Renner narr
    on either the Eastern or Western Continent.
[13:36] Renner narr
    However, the people of the Land of Sand
[13:38] Renner narr
    live only in the areas with plentiful water
[13:41] Renner narr
    near the ocean, rivers, or oases.
[13:43] Renner narr
    Because of that, the country
    isn't as powerful as it is large.
[13:48] Renner narr
    Magic's development here
    was likely inevitable
[13:52] Renner narr
    because of the nature of the area.
[13:55] Renner narr
    Enchanted water to remove the fatigue of
    the desert lizards that traverse the sands.
[14:01] Renner narr
    Boots with wide bottoms made of magic mesh
    to keep our feet from sinking in the sand.
[14:07] Renner narr
    And spells for fighting
    the monsters and undead.
SIGN    Land of Sand
SIGN    Empire
[14:11] Renner narr
    The Land of Sand desired these things from
    the magic that was the elves' legacy.
[14:15] Renner narr
    A problem demands a solution,
[14:17] Renner narr
    and thus our magicians number
    twice as many as in other countries.
[14:21] Renner narr
    Because of that, the very
    recently invented iced coffee
[14:25] Renner narr
    has spread explosively and become a
    new specialty of the Land of Sand.
[14:31] Renner narr
    The man behind iced coffee is
    our prince, and my big brother,
[14:37] Renner narr
    Shareef.
[14:41] Renner
    I think you're being too shy.
[14:44] Shareef
    I-I know that.
[14:47] Shareef
    But she is a princess of
    the Eastern Continent.
[14:50] Shareef
    Leaving her home and coming all the way
    to our land on the Western Continent
[14:54] Shareef
    would require much preparation.
[14:56] Shareef
    That is why I began by sending an envoy to
    the Empire to request an alliance and trade.
[15:02] Renner
    Not diplomatically. I mean personally.
[15:06] Shareef
    Personally?
[15:07] Renner
    It doesn't feel to me like you're
    trying to win her heart at all.
[15:13] Renner
    First, create ties between our nations,
[15:16] Renner
    and then wed a princess of their royal line
[15:19] Renner
    as proof that our alliance is true.
[15:22] Renner
    It's a sensible plan, and it isn't a bad deal
    for the Empire, either, if you think of it
[15:28] Renner
    as strengthening their
    ties with our royal line.
[15:31] Renner
    Whatever happens, until your
    fair beauty's illness is healed,
[15:35] Renner
    there'll be no talk of her marrying, anyway.
[15:39] Renner
    But I think you know that, unfortunately,
[15:42] Renner
    on the Western Continent we're nothing
    more than a prominent country,
SIGN    Land of Sea
SIGN    Duchy
SIGN    Land of Mountains
SIGN    Kingdom
SIGN    Empire
SIGN    Land of Sand
SIGN    Southern Continent
[15:47] Renner
    while the Empire is the most powerful
    player on the Eastern Continent.
[15:50] Renner
    The power difference is too great.
[15:53] Renner
    If your fair beauty objects, the Empire
    would probably prioritize her will.
[15:58] Renner
    I think that's all the more reason to
    approach her now, before she recovers.
[16:06] Shareef narr
    Renner, the one scolding me,
    is my younger sister,
[16:11] Shareef narr
    though from a different mother.
[16:16] Shareef narr
    Renner's mother was a low noble,
    yet her talent with magic was so great
[16:21] Shareef narr
    that she towered above those around her.
[16:24] Shareef narr
    Thus, she was allowed to come to the palace,
[16:27] Shareef narr
    won the king's heart,
[16:29] Shareef narr
    and birthed Renner.
[16:34] Shareef narr
    Then, as the court magician,
    she taught magic to both of us.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[16:47] Shareef narr
    As half-siblings who also
    studied under the same master,
[16:53] Shareef narr
    we had a good relationship.
[16:56] Shareef
    Shall we?
[16:58] Renner
    Quite. Afternoons in the desert are too hot.

    Welcome.

    Right... she isn't.

    Which float should I get today?
[18:19] Renner narr
    The carbonated drinks are...
    ginger ale, cola, orange, grape...

    No, I should go with melon soda after all.

    as they call it, remains excellent.
[19:29] Renner narr
    Next, the soda.
[19:36] Renner narr
    It's as delicious as always.
[19:42] Renner narr
    Brother dislikes the carbonation.
    He's missing out.
[19:47] Renner narr
    Kaffa's mix of sweetness and
    bitterness is more perturbing to me.
[19:57] Renner narr
    Now, then...
[19:59] Renner narr
    Time to really dig in.
[20:09] Renner narr
    Yes, this is the taste I want.
[20:11] Renner narr
    The smooth sweetness of soft serve and the
    exhilarating sweetness of melon soda...
[20:17] Renner narr
    The harmony they create is too good.
[20:20] Renner narr
    And last should be this.
[20:37] Renner narr
    The soda float experience is
    only complete after all three.
[20:43] Aletta
    Welcome.
[20:45] Adelheid
    Hello, Aletta-san.
[20:50] Adelheid
    Good day to you, Renner-san.
[20:53] Renner
    Good day to you, as well.
[20:55] Renner
    Come on, Brother.
[20:57] Shareef
    R-Right... ahem. I'm pleased you look well.
[21:04] Renner
    Won't you join us?
[21:06] Renner
    Tell us about the Empire.
[21:11] Adelheid
    All right. Pardon me.
[21:20] Adelheid
    I think I'll have to have the
    chocolate parfait again today.
[21:27] Renner
    I'll have a cola float.
[21:30] Renner
    Is that all right, Brother?
[21:33] Renner
    Brother?
[21:36] Shareef
    Y-Yes. Pick whatever you like.
[21:38] Shareef
    I feel chilled, so I'll
    have the Vienna coffee.
[21:45] Renner narr
    For crying out loud... If he could be even
    half as dignified as usual right now,
[21:49] Renner narr
    it would be all too easy
    for him to win her heart.
[21:55] Renner narr
    Well, I suppose being able
    to speak with her at all
[22:00] Renner narr
    is a big step forward.

[01:39] Fairy E
    W-We have an emergency!
[01:41] Tiana
    Do not panic.
[01:43] Fairy Magician E
    F-Forgive me.
[01:45] Tiana
    This place is like our own backyard.
[01:48] Tiana
    If anything is wrong, we know at once.
[01:49] Fairy Magician E
    That thing... What could it possibly be?
[01:54] Tiana
    We can't ignore it, can we?
[01:56] Tiana
    First, we'll observe it.
[01:59] Tiana
    Whatever it is, we won't allow it to
    trample rudely into our territory.
[02:03] Tiana
    Let's go, everyone. Follow me.
[02:06] Fairies
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[02:17] Tiana
    Is this... a door?
[02:20] Fairy Magician A
    It appears to be a type of summoning magic.
[02:25] Tiana
    We are going to enter the door.
[02:35] Tiana
    O Guardian, hear my call.
[02:38] Tiana
    Come forth before me.
[02:56] Tiana
    My fairies, move away from the door.
[03:01] Tiana
    Guardian. Open it.
[03:14] Tiana
    So it was a teleportation device.
[03:16] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    What should we do, Your Majesty?
[03:18] Tiana
    Indeed... First, we'll learn the
    intentions of those on the other side.
[03:22] Tiana
    I will command the squad myself.
    Am I understood?
[03:26] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    But... it's too dangerous!
[03:28] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    There's no telling what could be in there.
[03:30] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    What's more, the door's too
    small for the giant to enter.
[03:34] Tiana
    We won't go in unprepared.
[03:38] Tiana
    Magician Commander, you will remain
    here and prepare an evacuation circle.
[03:43] Tiana
    If we need to fall back,
    you will activate it.
[03:45] Head Magician
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[03:47] Tiana
    This is meant to call us in.
[03:50] Tiana
    Let us take them up on their invitation.
[04:00] Fairy Magician B
    Wh-What is this place?
[04:03] Tiana
    Stay calm.
[04:15] Tiana
    That one should know the
    nature of this place.
[04:20] Tiana
    You there. You appear to be a magician.
[04:24] Tiana
    I am the Queen of the Land of Flowers,
    Tiana Silvario XVI.
[04:29] Victoria
    I am the Princess of the Samanark Duchy,
    Victoria Samanark.
[04:34] Victoria
    I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty,
    Queen Tiana of the Land of Flowers.
[04:40] Tiana
    If you don't mind, would you
    kindly explain where we are?
[04:45] Victoria
    This is the Restaurant to Another World.
[04:47] Tiana
    The Restaurant to Another World?
[04:49] Victoria
    It is a place for eating,
    connected by the door.
[04:53] Tiana
    A place for eating?
[04:55] Victoria
    Yes. In exchange for the money humans use,
    they serve you their cooking...
[05:00] Victoria
    Food that is chopped up and heated with fire.
[05:04] Tiana
    A store that offers food
    that's been heated with fire?
[05:08] Tiana
    But does food taste good like that?
[05:11] Tiana
    I've spoken to those who have
    traveled the human world.
[05:14] Tiana
    They said human food isn't as good
    as the Land of Flowers' honey.
[05:19] Victoria
    It's delicious.
[05:21] Tiana
    Is it, now? I suppose you
    never know until you try.
[05:25] Tiana
    Would you kindly tell us
    what might suit our tastes?
[05:30] Victoria
    Very well.
[05:32] Victoria narr
    First, there's no doubt that
    I should recommend a dessert.
[05:36] Victoria narr
    A parfait... the cup would
    make it difficult to eat.
[05:40] Victoria narr
    Pudding a la mode...
[05:43] Victoria narr
    Fairies don't like bitter things,
    so that won't do.
[05:48] Victoria narr
    A dessert with a lot of fruit
    should be a good choice.
[05:51] Victoria narr
    And if you consider things
    they can't normally eat...
[05:54] Victoria narr
    It shouldn't be uncooked, but cooked somehow.
[05:57] Victoria narr
    Which leaves...
[05:59] Victoria
    I recommend the mixed fruit crêpe.
[06:04] Tiana
    I see. Then we will have that.
[06:09] Victoria
    I'd like to order.
[06:10] Victoria
    One mixed fruit crêpe, please.
[06:15] Kuro
    Understood.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
SIGN    Crêpes
[06:20] Aletta
    Here's your mixed fruit crêpe.
[06:26] Tiana
    So this is a "crêpe."
[06:28] Tiana
    Humans come up with all sorts of things.
[06:31] Victoria
    Could you cut it into small
    pieces to make it easier to eat?
[06:35] Aletta
    O-Of course.
[06:37] Aletta
    I'll slice this up for you.
[06:51] Aletta
    All done.
[06:59] Victoria
    Thank you.
[07:00] Aletta
    Please relax and enjoy.
[07:03] Tiana
    I will eat it first.
[07:06] Fairy Magician C
    You mustn't! It could be poisoned.
[07:08] Fairy Magician C
    It's too dangerous!
[07:10] Tiana
    All the more reason for me to go first.
[07:12] Tiana
    The protection my magic affords me
    renders all poisons meaningless.
[07:18] Tiana
    Therefore, I should partake of it first.
[07:22] Fairy Magician C
    Y-Yes, Your Majesty.
[07:31] Tiana
    It has hardly any flavor.
[07:34] Tiana
    Next, this white substance.
[07:40] Tiana
    Splendid! This sweetness...
[07:48] Tiana
    This is... Has the sweet fruit
    been soaked in sweet water?
[07:53] Tiana
    What a delicacy.
[07:59] Tiana
    This red berry...
[08:05] Tiana
    And this green berry...
[08:11] Tiana
    And this citrus-like yellow fruit, too.
[08:14] Tiana
    Each one is prepared
    elaborately, and so sweet.
[08:20] Tiana
    I see. The cloth wrapping them up
    purposefully lacks sweetness.
[08:25] Tiana
    It's meant to be the base for the other

    fruits and the sweet white substance, then?
[08:31] Tiana
    These crêpes are poison indeed.
[08:32] Tiana
    A terrifying poison that threatens
    to make my stomach burst.
[08:36] Fairy Magician C
    How was it, Your Majesty?
[08:40] Tiana
    Ah, yes. There's no problem. Try it.
[08:47] Fairy Magician D
    It's delicious!
[08:55] Tiana
    Victoria, I thank you.
[08:58] Tiana
    This is a gift of thanks. Take it.
[09:02] Tiana
    It's a flower seed from our land.
[09:06] Tiana
    You should know what it means.
[09:12] Victoria
    Are you sure?
[09:13] Tiana
    It's no loss to us.
[09:15] Tiana
    I hear nothing is more valuable to humans.
[09:19] Tiana
    But for us, it's fairly easily obtained.
[09:23] Victoria
    All right. Then I'll pay for
    all of your future meals here.
[09:31] Tiana
    You will? Thank you.
[09:38] Master
    Did you enjoy the dish?
[09:42] Tiana
    I see you are the master of this restaurant.
[09:45] Tiana
    It was delicious.
[09:48] Master
    Thank you.
[09:50] Tiana
    Now, why did your door appear in our land?
[09:54] Master
    I'm afraid I don't know the details.
[09:56] Master
    It seems it appears where it pleases.
[09:59] Master
    I apologize if it caused trouble for you.
[10:02] Tiana
    It is no matter. I think we'll come again.
[10:05] Victoria
    Today is the Day of Satur.
[10:07] Victoria
    The door appears only once every seven days.
[10:10] Tiana
    Is that how it works?
[10:12] Tiana
    I'd like to bring many of my people
    here as soon as possible...
SIGN    A Few Months Later
[10:18] Fairy Magician C
    We should order the chocolate banana today.
[10:21] Fairy Magician C
    Do you not understand the
    greatness of bittersweet tastes?
[10:23] Fairy Magician E
    What? The combination of strawberry
    jam and cream cheese is better.
[10:29] Fairy Magician B
    If we go by sweetness, custard is better.
[10:33] Fairy Magician B
    We should order something with
    custard as the main ingredient.
[10:35] Fairy Magician D
    No, no! You're wrong!
[10:38] Fairy Magician D
    Custard doesn't have the fluffy
    feeling that cream has.
[10:42] Fairy Magician D
    Cream tastes better than custard.
    That's just a law of nature.
[10:46] Fairy Magician A
    Um, from what I've heard, crêpes can
    contain things that aren't sweet, too.
[10:52] Fairy Magicians B/C/D/E
    No! A crêpe that isn't
    sweet isn't a real crêpe!
[10:56] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    Your Majesty!
[10:58] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    The citizens selected for this time are
    already gathered by the Nekoya door.
[11:03] Fairy Magicians' Commander
    We must leave immediately,
    or a riot may break out.
[11:07] Tiana
    Very well. We leave at once.
[11:10] Tiana
    Come. It is too bad we did
    not come to a decision,
[11:13] Tiana
    but we can continue this
    debate on the other side.

    Yes, Your Majesty!

    Open the path to the other world.
[11:45] Aletta
    Welcome!
[11:48] Tiana
    Well met. First, show us to a table.
[11:51] Tiana
    And then bring us a menu.
[12:17] Edmond (Fardania's father)
    When I was still but a
    child of only 100 years,
[12:21] Edmond (Fardania's father)
    Christian traveled the human world
    at my side, as my guide through life.
[12:27] Edmond (Fardania's father)
    He's a gourmand, and I expect he's
    still researching cooking now.
[12:32] Edmond (Fardania's father)
    If you don't have a destination
    in mind, you should go see him.
[12:42] Fardania
    Father's friend should live here...
[12:46] Fardania
    The letter said to contact him by telepathy
    and have him open the way for me.
[12:52] Fardania
    But it would be faster for me
    to do this much on my own.
[12:58] Christian
    Oh? The barrier's being tampered with.
[13:02] Christian
    Hmm.
[13:04] Christian
    They're pretty skilled.
[13:07] Christian
    They're not trying to hide themselves.
[13:10] Christian
    Seems we have an elven visitor, eh?
[13:19] Fardania
    Excuse me. I'm searching for the
    home of a man named Christian.
[13:23] Elven Woman
    Christian's home has smelled strange
    for about the last ten years now.
[13:27] Elven Woman
    You'll know it immediately.
[13:30] Fardania
    I-Is that so?
[13:40] Fardania
    Is this it?
[13:45] Fardania
    Excuse me!
[13:48] Christian
    You must be Fardania.
    Edmond told me about you.
[13:54] Fardania
    Pleased to meet you.
[13:56] Christian
    Your lifting of the entrance
    barrier was pretty clever.
[14:00] Christian
    There aren't many elves who can
    undo it at barely past 100 years,
[14:04] Christian
    even among those from the forest capital.
[14:08] Christian
    You're definitely Edmond and
    Matilda's daughter. I'm impressed.
[14:12] Fardania
    Thank you, sir.
[14:16] Christian
    Make yourself at home.
    And don't be so formal.
[14:20] Christian
    You're my best friend's daughter,
[14:23] Christian
    and you're already an adult, aren't you?
[14:25] Christian
    Treat me like a close friend.
[14:28] Fardania
    Yes, s—Okay.
[14:31] Fardania
    Glad to be friends, Christian.
[14:34] Christian
    Same here, Fardania.
[14:38] Fardania
    Anyway... What's that smell?
[14:41] Fardania
    It smells like something's gone rotten.
[14:46] Christian
    Aha. She's an outspoken girl.
[14:50] Christian
    Have you ever heard of cheese?
[14:53] Fardania
    Cheese? That's a food humans make, right?
[14:57] Fardania
    I've heard it's made by leaving animal
    milk in a dark place for a long time,
[15:01] Fardania
    cultivating mold in it, and so on.
[15:04] Christian
    Right. There are other ways to make it, too.
[15:08] Christian
    Humans call that one "fermentation."
[15:10] Fardania
    Fermentation?
[15:12] Christian
    I'm trying to ferment elven beans.
[15:16] Fardania
    Elven beans? Is that possible?
[15:18] Christian
    Yes, it is.
[15:20] Christian
    I've eaten it myself.
[15:23] Fardania
    You've eaten it? Do they have
    that in the forest capital?
[15:28] Christian
    No, not in the capital.
[15:31] Christian
    Well, perhaps you could
    say they do, in a way.
[15:34] Fardania
    What do you mean?
[15:38] Christian
    About ten years ago, a door to another
    world started appearing in the capital.
[15:44] Christian
    The door is connected
[15:46] Christian
    to a restaurant that serves the
    peculiar food of the other world.
[15:49] Christian
    And they offer a dish that
    used fermented beans there.
[15:53] Fardania
    Is that...
[15:55] Christian
    Judging by your reaction,
    you know of it, too?

[16:06] Kuro
    Welcome.
[16:08] Master
    C'mon in.
[16:09] Master
    Well, that's a new combination.
[16:12] Christian
    She's my friend's daughter.
[16:14] Christian
    I'm treating her today.
[16:17] Christian
    I'll have my usual.

    Natto spaghetti, no egg. For two.
[16:22] Master
    Comin' right up.
[16:24] Aletta
    Please, have a seat wherever you like.
[16:27] Fardania
    Natto spaghetti... Is that
    a dish elves can eat, too?
[16:31] Christian
    Of course.
[16:33] Fardania
    Good...
[16:38] Fardania
    But just how many dishes does
    this restaurant serve?
[16:42] Christian
    Yet natto spaghetti has a... unique smell.
[16:47] Fardania
    Unique?
[16:49] Christian
    It isn't popular with the other diners.
[16:51] Christian
    I'm about the only one who'll order it.

    I see...
[17:02] Aletta
    Here's your natto spaghetti.
SIGN    Natto Spaghetti
[17:11] Aletta
    Please take your time and enjoy.
[17:14] Fardania
    The smell...
[17:16] Fardania
    It's certainly peculiar.
[17:18] Christian
    Well, let's eat up.
[17:20] Christian
    Don't worry. From what I know,
    this dish is very delicious.
[17:34] Christian
    That's good.
[17:36] Christian
    Natto's unique stickiness and smell...
[17:40] Christian
    The rich flavor is a combination
[17:42] Christian
    with something salty that must
    have been mixed in with it before.
[17:46] Christian
    Then there's an uncooked herb
    with a strong, unique taste
[17:51] Christian
    and something like black paper.
[17:52] Christian
    It's the savory taste of the
    grass that sways in the sea.
[17:56] Christian
    Combined with the light noodles,
    which taste almost only of wheat,
[18:02] Christian
    they come together as one dish.
[18:08] Christian
    It's as delicious as ever.
[18:15] Christian
    Looks like she's taken a liking to it, too.
[18:24] Christian
    She looks like she's
    thinking about something.
[18:27] Christian
    Is she mulling over the taste?
[18:35] Kuro
    I'll clear your plates.
[18:37] Christian
    Please. Also, could I get seconds—
[18:40] Fardania
    The "natto" used in these noodles...
[18:43] Kuro
    Yes?
[18:45] Fardania
    I'd like to try it with rice. Can I do that?
[18:48] Christian
    Wh-What?! I thought natto
    was eaten as noodle sauce.
[18:55] Kuro
    One moment, please.
[19:01] Kuro
    Master.
[19:02] Kuro
    A diner says she'd like to eat
    natto with rice. Is that possible?
[19:09] Master
    Good grief. We're technically a
    Western restaurant here, but...
[19:14] Master
    I can do that.
[19:14] Christian
    What?!
[19:16] Fardania
    Good. I'll take that, then.
[19:19] Fardania
    Oh, and two grilled rice ball sets.
[19:22] Fardania
    Can you make one with extra miso flavor?
[19:25] Master
    Sure thing.
[19:26] Master
    We'll have that right out for you.
[19:28] Christian
    E-Excuse me! I'd like the same.
[19:34] Christian
    I'd like natto with rice.
[19:37] Master
    You got it.
[19:45] Fardania
    Mm! I knew it.
[19:48] Fardania
    Natto pairs extremely well with rice.
[19:53] Christian
    It's good.
[19:54] Christian
    Natto has the taste of the earth.
[19:57] Christian
    It seems that pairing it with warm white
    rice brings out its savoriness even more.
[20:04] Christian
    If I had to compare it to something...
[20:05] Christian
    It's the extraordinary chemistry
    between two best friends.
[20:10] Christian
    Yet to me, this wonderful
    taste is the taste of defeat.
[20:15] Christian
    This girl before me, the daughter
    of my friend Edmond...
[20:19] Christian
    She hasn't lived even a third as long as I have,
[20:23] Christian
    yet she's surpassed me
    in the pursuit of flavor.
[20:27] Christian
    Her greed when it comes
    to the taste of cooking,
[20:30] Christian
    ideas that aren't held back
    by conventional sense,
[20:33] Christian
    and reckless bravery to boldly
    take on new challenges...
[20:38] Christian
    This is what it means to be young.
[20:41] Fardania
    Another bowl!
[20:45] Fardania
    What?! Rice exists in our world, too?
[20:48] Christian
    Yes, it does. Rice is a common
    crop across the ocean,
[20:55] Christian
    on the Western Continent.
[20:57] Fardania
    I see. I didn't know that.
[21:00] Fardania
    I'll go there immediately.

    Fardania, this is for you.
[21:07] Fardania
    What is it?
[21:11] Fardania
    Is this...
[21:13] Fardania
    It's not quite the same as what's used in
    the grilled rice balls, but—is it miso?
[21:19] Fardania
    Are you telling me you can make miso by
    rotting—I mean fermenting—elven beans, too?
[21:26] Christian
    That's exactly it.
[21:27] Christian
    This is elven bean miso. I completed it
    coincidentally during my long research.
[21:31] Christian
    Take it with you. It's a
    favorite food of yours, right?
[21:37] Fardania
    Thank you. For everything.
[21:47] Fardania
    Well... I'll be off.
[21:49] Christian
    Yes. Go on.
[21:57] Christian
    Even with the lifespan of an elf,
    it's a wide world out there.

[00:01] Kuro
    105 days have passed since I began
    working at Western Restaurant Nekoya,
[00:06] Kuro
    a restaurant in another world,
    in a country called Japan.
[00:13] Kuro
    It's time.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[00:43] Kuro
    I open my eyes and set forth.
[01:16] Kuro
    Good morning.
[01:17] Master
    G'morning.
[01:18] Aletta
    Good morning.
[01:20] Master
    You're always right on time.
[01:22] Aletta
    Let's do our best today!
[01:25] Kuro
    Okay.
[01:25] Master
    I made curry for your breakfast.
    You're going to eat, right?
[01:31] Kuro
    Yes.
[01:42] Kuro
    I felt something in his gaze.
[01:44] Kuro
    It wasn't unpleasant, but I
    didn't want to feel it for long.
[01:49] Kuro
    I don't know what it was.
[01:52] Kuro
    But...
[01:54] Kuro
    Nothing is more important than
    the chicken curry before me.
[02:00] Kuro
    I quickly pushed what
    I had felt from my mind.
[02:11] Kuro
    I came to be hired by the master to work here
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[02:16] Kuro
    through my acquaintance
    of 35,688 years, Red.
[02:36] Kuro
    Afterward, Red came to me.
[02:43] (Flashback) Red Queen
    While I am away,
[02:46] (Flashback) Red Queen
    protect that place from
    those with ill will as you work.
[02:52] Kuro
    So she said.
[02:53] Kuro
    The master, a resident of the
    other world and my employer,
[02:58] Kuro
    and Aletta, who also works in his restaurant,
[03:03] Kuro
    are both extremely weak beings
[03:05] Kuro
    and must be protected from danger, she said.
[03:10] (Flashback) Red Queen
    If someone makes trouble,
[03:12] (Flashback) Red Queen
    you should at least be able to keep
    them contained until I arrive.
[03:18] (Flashback) Kuro
    But...
[03:19] (Flashback) Red Queen
    Besides, when I act, it tends
    to cause a bit of an uproar.
[03:23] (Flashback) Kuro
    You have a point.
[03:25] (Flashback) Kuro
    I can restrain my magic power and
    almost completely erase my presence.
[03:29] (Flashback) Kuro
    I'm suited to protecting the restaurant.
[03:33] (Flashback) Red Queen
    Then I leave it in your hands.
[03:37] Kuro
    And so, I decided to protect the human
    and demon who work at the restaurant.
[05:17] Alphonse
    In the great blue deep between the
    Eastern and Western Continents
[05:21] Alphonse
    lies the Continental Sea, the only naval
    route connecting the two continents.
[05:26] Alphonse
    At the same time, it is a dangerous area,
    home to many monsters.
[05:31] Alphonse
    The sirens who live in the Continental Sea
[05:34] Alphonse
    have wings upon their backs,
    the feet of birds,
[05:38] Alphonse
    and the appearance of beautiful young girls.
[05:41] Alphonse
    Among them are dangerous ones
    who have used their magic songs
[05:44] Alphonse
    to enchant sailors, luring them into the sea
[05:47] Alphonse
    and sinking them along with their ships.
[05:58] Iris
    Hey! Hey, Arius!
[06:01] Iris
    I was thinking about where to make a nest.
[06:03] Iris
    Want to check out the
    Chimera Killer's island?
[06:06] Arius
    Isn't that the dangerous place
    Granny told us to stay away from?
[06:10] Iris
    It's fine! The Chimera Killer appeared
    ages before we were even born, right?
[06:17] Arius
    Well, yeah, but...
[06:18] Iris
    No matter how strong he was,
    he's got to be old and weak now.
[06:23] Iris
    Besides, he might have gotten sick and died!
[06:27] Arius
    We don't know that.
[06:30] Iris
    We can at least have a
    little look-see, can't we?
[06:34] Iris
    We'll look from the sky, and if it
    seems dangerous, we can just fly away.
[06:39] Iris
    The Chimera Killer's human. He can't fly.
[06:42] Iris
    Plus, it's got to be a great island
    if monsters as strong as chimeras
[06:47] Iris
    make it their territory!
[06:49] Arius
    R-Right. You do have a point...
[06:52] Iris
    All right, it's settled!
[06:54] Iris
    Let's go, then!
[07:16] Iris
    Wow... So this is the Chimera Killer's island!
[07:19] Iris
    It looks pretty great, right?
[07:21] Arius
    It looks like the Chimera Killer
    isn't around. That's a plus.
[07:47] Arius
    Is this the Chimera Killer's nest?
[07:49] Iris
    Yeah. He definitely lived here.
[08:00] Arius
    There's something strange about
    the way these lines are scratched.
[08:04] Iris
    Hey, Arius.
[08:07] Iris
    Do you know what this is?
[08:16] Arius
    Oh, these are gold and silver coins.
[08:19] Arius
    Humans exchange them for things.
[08:25] Arius
    There's also...
[08:27] Arius
    A letter. Looks like it's
    written in human language.
[08:31] Iris
    What's it say?
[08:33] Arius
    Uh, let me see...
[08:37] Arius
    "I leave this behind for anyone
    who visits this island after me.
[08:43] Arius
    To the unlucky, pitiable castaway
    who arrived on this island.
[08:48] Arius
    Do not give up hope. Live on.
[08:52] Alphonse
    I lived here for twenty years
[08:55] Alphonse
    looking forward to the Day of
    Satur on every seventh day.
[09:00] Alphonse
    This money is my gift to you.
[09:05] Alphonse
    Use it when you pass through the door
[09:07] Alphonse
    on the top of the hill on the Day of Satur,
    on every seventh day.
[09:11] Arius & Alphonse
    I wish you good fortune.
[09:14] Arius & Alphonse
    Alphonse Flugel."
[09:17] Arius
    The Day of Satur?
[09:18] Iris
    The top of the hill...
[09:20] Iris
    There was nothing up there, right?
[09:23] Arius
    Right.
[09:26] Arius
    On every seventh day...
[09:27] Iris
    So, what do you think?
[09:29] Iris
    Looks to me like there aren't any
    dangerous monsters or chimeras here.
[09:33] Arius
    Yeah... I guess we could stick around.
[09:37] Iris
    Thought so. It seems like a
    nice place to make a new nest!
[10:38] Iris
    Arius, look!
[10:41] Arius
    Th-That's...
[10:45] Iris
    This wasn't here yesterday, right?
[10:48] Arius
    Yeah. I think today must be the Day of Satur.
[10:51] Arius
    This is probably the door from the letter.
[10:54] Iris
    Let's go in!
[10:58] Arius
    I guess it should be safe.
[11:04] Aletta
    Good morning!
[11:14] Aletta
    Welcome.
[11:17] Arius
    A demon?
[11:18] Iris
    What is this place?
[11:20] Aletta
    Oh, um... This is Western Restaurant Nekoya.
[11:23] Aletta
    People call it the
    Restaurant to Another World.
[11:25] Arius
    Another world?
[11:26] Iris
    A restaurant?
[11:27] Aletta
    A shop that serves food
    to people who visit it.
[11:31] Aletta
    We have regular diners who
    are monsterfolk like you.
[11:35] Iris
    Oh, you do?
[11:36] Aletta
    Well? Will you stay and eat?
[11:41] Arius
    I guess if that's what this place is...
[11:44] Iris
    We'll eat!
[11:45] Arius
    So what kind of food is there?
[11:48] Aletta
    We have lots of different dishes.
    Can you read Eastern Continental?
[11:53] Arius
    Yes, I can.
[11:55] Aletta
    Then I'll bring menus right out.
    Sit wherever you like.
[12:05] Iris
    What's this?
[12:13] Arius
    Don't just go touching things.
[12:16] Iris
    It's not like anyone else is here.
[12:19] Iris
    Come on, Arius. Sing with me!
[12:23] Arius
    You never listen.
[12:44] Kuro
    Be quiet.
[12:46] Iris & Arius
    W-We're sorry!
[12:50] Master
    Wh-What was that?
[12:52] Aletta
    I don't know, but it felt so nice.
[12:56] Kuro
    There are beings here who aren't
    immune to your songs.
[13:01] Kuro
    If you want to eat here and return home
    in one piece, you'd best not sing again.
[13:08] Arius
    W-We won't. We're sorry.
[13:10] Iris
    I'm sorry.
[13:12] Iris
    But that aside, you're amazing!
[13:15] Iris
    How are you talking without
    opening your mouth?
[13:18] Kuro
    I'm sending thoughts
    directly into your minds.
[13:21] Iris
    How do you do that?
[13:22] Iris
    I want to learn how to do that, too!
[13:25] Arius
    Me, too!
[13:25] Iris
    Oh, please! Teach us!
[13:27] Iris
    Pretty please!
[13:29] Aletta
    I-Is something the matter?
[13:32] Iris & Arius
    We're trying to get her to teach us
    how to talk with our mouths closed.
[13:37] Aletta
    I brought your menus. Please have a look.
[13:43] Iris
    Menus!
[13:52] Arius
    There's so much.
[13:53] Iris
    I don't know what to pick.
[13:56] Aletta
    Erm... If you could describe
    what you'd like to eat,
[14:00] Aletta
    I can ask the master to recommend something.
[14:03] Arius
    Uh, then...
[14:05] Iris
    I want fresh fish!
[14:07] Iris
    But not cooked. Raw!
[14:09] Aletta
    What?
[14:10] Aletta
    You can eat fish raw?
[14:14] Aletta
    I-I mean, I'll go ask!
[14:16] Arius
    Come on, Iris, you can't ask for that.
[14:19] Arius
    No one but our kind eats raw fish.
[14:22] Iris
    Huh, really?
[14:24] Iris
    That's weird. It's so good.
[14:26] Aletta
    Um... He says we have a raw
    fish dish called "carpaccio."
[14:32] Aletta
    Will that be all right?
[14:34] Arius
    Huh?
[14:34] Iris
    Yeah! Hurry and bring it to us!
[14:37] Aletta
    Okay. Wait just a minute.
[14:42] Arius
    They really had something.
[14:43] Iris
    Yup, they did!
[14:44] Arius
    Maybe because this is another world?
[14:47] Iris
    Maybe!
[14:49] Iris
    But now we know that other races
    eat raw fish, too. Isn't that great?
[14:54] Master
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
    Here's your tuna carpaccio.
SIGN    Carpaccio
[15:04] Master
    Relax and enjoy.
[15:12] Arius
    It looks fresh.
[15:13] Iris
    Yeah!
[15:21] Iris & Arius
    It's delicious!
[15:23] Iris
    It's fresh, all right!
[15:24] Arius
    Yup! But that's not all.
[15:26] Arius
    It's been carefully drained of blood.
[15:29] Arius
    I don't know how, but I think
    it's cleverly cut, too.
[15:33] Iris
    Really?
[15:34] Arius
    H-Hey! Don't eat it so fast!
[15:41] Arius
    It's salty and a little sour,
    crisp and spicy...
[15:46] Arius
    The fish's savoriness explodes in my mouth
    as if to envelop all of the other flavors.
[15:51] Arius
    I've never tasted something this good before.
[15:54] Iris
    It's so good.
[15:56] Arius
    I want more.
[15:58] Iris
    Me, too.
[15:59] Kuro
    Understood. We'll bring you another.
[16:03] Iris & Arius
    Awesome!
[16:07] Iris
    It was so good.
[16:11] Aletta
    Welcome.
[16:13] Aletta
    What will you have today?
[16:15] Alphonse
    Curry rice, large.
[16:17] Aletta
    You really love your curry rice,
    don't you, Alphonse-san?
[16:23] Iris
    What is it?
[16:25] Arius
    Oh... Nothing.
[16:33] Aletta
    Thank you!
[16:35] Kuro
    Thank you.
[16:40] Arius
    I'm glad we came to this island.
[16:42] Iris
    Me, too.
[16:44] Arius
    Hey. Want to make our nest here?
[16:47] Iris
    Yeah!
[16:58] Aletta & Kuro
    Thank you.
[17:03] Kuro
    After we saw off Red,
    the final diner of the day...
[17:11] Kuro
    I noticed that the master's actions
    deviated from his usual routine.
[17:16] Kuro
    He brought out some rough-textured
    elliptical objects and prepared to cook.
[17:25] Master
    Oh, Kuro. Good work today.
[17:27] Master
    Your chicken curry's on the table.
[17:36] Master
    Curious about these?
[17:39] Master
    These are curry buns.
[17:42] Kuro
    Curry buns?
[17:44] Master
    That's right. There's curry inside them.
[17:47] Master
    Kimura-san gave them to me,
    but it's too much for one man to eat.
[17:52] Master
    I thought I'd use them for our dinner tonight.
[17:55] Kuro
    Are they good?
[17:57] Master
    Yeah, you bet.
[17:59] Master
    I'm about to fry them up.
[18:01] Master
    You wanna try them, too?
[18:03] Kuro
    Yes. After I finish my chicken curry.
[18:06] Master
    Okay. Well, it shouldn't take you long.
[18:10] Master
    I'll get to frying.
[18:19] Master
    Order up. The curry buns are ready.
SIGN    Curry Bun
[18:26] Master
    I went with lassi for drinks.
[18:28] Master
    There's more in the pitcher
    if you want refills.
[18:32] Master
    Curry buns are still good cold, but they're
    best while they're still hot, so eat up.
[18:38] Master
    Okay, let's dig in.
[18:40] Aletta
    God of demons, thank you for
    providing another delicious meal.
[18:46] Aletta
    It's hot! And spicy!
[18:48] Aletta
    But it's good.
[18:50] Master
    Yup. You can't beat fresh-fried curry buns.
[18:56] Kuro
    The master gave no signs of burning himself,
    as if he's used to eating curry buns.
[19:04] Kuro
    I could feel the heat given off by the
    freshly fried curry bun in my hand,
[19:10] Kuro
    and the faint scent of curry
[19:13] Kuro
    mixed with the fragrant smell of
    the coating wafted to my nose.
[19:18] Kuro
    Appreciating the smell, I moved
    the curry bun to my mouth.
[19:24] Kuro
    The bun's outside, greasy yet with a light
    texture, splits apart easily in my mouth.
[19:31] Kuro
    The outer shell is thicker than
    regular deep-fry coating,
[19:34] Kuro
    and it's slightly hard on the outside,
    but soft on the inside.
[19:38] Kuro
    The breading and oil have a faint sweetness.
[19:42] Kuro
    The filling instantly changes the experience.
[19:48] Kuro
    Curry. The captivatingly spicy
    stew that I love to death
[19:54] Kuro
    cancels out the inherent
    sweetness of the bun,
[19:56] Kuro
    changing the taste to spiciness all at once.
[20:00] Kuro
    After finely ground beef,
    herbs, and root vegetables
[20:04] Kuro
    are simmered to the point of dissolving,
[20:08] Kuro
    powdered plant seed is
    added to thicken the curry.
[20:13] Kuro
    This curry isn't as spicy
    as my chicken curry.
[20:18] Kuro
    As a whole, I still prefer
    chicken curry. But...
[20:25] Master
    Mm. That's good stuff.
[20:27] Aletta
    It really is. May I have another?
[20:31] Master
    Yup. There's plenty to go around.
    Have as much as you... like...
[20:37] Kuro
    It would be a shame if I didn't join in and
    the buns were all eaten by the other two.
[20:43] Kuro
    I quietly reach out and
    take a second bun, too.
[20:47] Kuro
    As I take more buns, I drink the white liquid
[20:51] Kuro
    called "lassi" that the master set out for us.
[20:55] Kuro
    The sweet-and-sour drink, which
    I think is fermented cow's milk,
[21:00] Kuro
    washes away the taste of
    the curry and satisfies me.
[21:06] Kuro
    Now I can enjoy another curry bun.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[21:19] Master
    Bye. See you next week?
[21:21] Aletta
    Yes, of course.
[21:23] Aletta
    Kuro-san, take care on your way home.
[21:28] Kuro
    Her worry is unnecessary.
[21:32] Kuro
    I am the only living being at the
    end of the sky where I reside.
[21:37] Kuro
    Moreover, I can count the number of beings
[21:40] Kuro
    in that world that could harm me on one hand.
[21:43] Kuro
    But...
[21:50] Kuro
    Okay. You take care, too.
[21:53] Aletta
    See you next time.
[22:01] Kuro
    Thanks.

[02:53] Adelheid
    Once, four heroes lived
    on the Eastern Continent.
[02:58] Adelheid
    Recipient of the divine
    protection of the god of light,
[03:00] Adelheid
    Saint Leonard.
[03:03] Adelheid
    The world's greatest magic user,
[03:06] Adelheid
    Sage Artorius.
[03:08] Adelheid
    A half-elf who spent the majority
    of his long life on the battlefield,
[03:13] Adelheid
    and who could wipe out hordes
    of monsters with a single sword,
[03:16] Adelheid
    Sword God Alexander.
[03:19] Adelheid
    And finally, endowed with even
    stronger divine protection, magic,
[03:24] Adelheid
    and sword skills than the other three,
[03:25] Adelheid
    Hero Yomi.
[03:28] Adelheid
    The four joined forces and put an end to the
    centuries-long war with the evil demons.
[03:37] Adelheid
    However,
[03:38] Adelheid
    as the price for slaying the demon god
    pulled into our world by the demon lord,
[03:43] Adelheid
    they lost Hero Yomi.
[03:49] Adelheid
    This was about seventy years ago.
[03:55] Adelheid
    Leonard went on to become
    pontiff for the god of light.
[03:59] Adelheid
    He led many believers, stabilizing
    the influence of the god of light.
[04:06] Adelheid
    Artorius advanced magic so much that
    he went down in continental history.
[04:12] Adelheid
    He became the Great Sage, and still uses
[04:14] Adelheid
    his sharp mind to come ever closer
    to the secrets of magic.
[04:17] Adelheid
    Finally, Alexander
[04:20] Adelheid
    became a legendary mercenary who drifts
    from battlefield to battlefield.
[04:24] Adelheid
    Minstrels sing songs of
    his peerless beauty and
[04:29] Adelheid
    his affairs with fair
    ladies wherever he goes.
[04:36] Adelheid
    One day, Alexander's
    wanderings took him to
[04:41] Adelheid
    an old friend in the capital
    for reasons unknown...
[04:45] Artorius
    Alex. Glad to see you
    looking as well as ever.
[04:49] Alexander
    Wish I could say you look
    the same as ever, too.
[04:53] Alexander
    But you've aged. You're an old geezer now.
[04:57] Artorius
    What brings you here today?
[05:00] Artorius
    Something must have happened
    for you to come see me.
[05:04] Alexander
    That's right. Always liked how
    you get straight to the point.
[05:08] Alexander
    Actually, I'd like to go to this
    restaurant in another world.
[05:13] Alexander
    I heard about it from an acquaintance.
[05:15] Alexander
    They said they saw someone like Al there.
[05:19] Alexander
    There's something I'd like to eat.
[05:21] Alexander
    Take me there.
[05:23] Artorius
    I see. Then I'll show you the way.
[05:29] Artorius
    Only, we'll wait until evening.
[05:31] Alexander
    Evening? Why?
[05:33] Artorius
    It's better to go when it's empty.
[05:37] Artorius
    And...
[05:38] Artorius
    No good could come of having
    you meet the other diners.
[05:44] Lionel
    Three more large pork cutlet rice bowls!
[05:46] Lionel
    Also, another bowl of pork soup.
[05:49] Kuro
    Understood. Wait just a minute.
[05:55] Kuro
    Master, three large pork cutlet
    rice bowls and a bowl of pork soup.
[06:00] Master
    You got it.
[06:01] Aletta
    Master!
[06:02] Aletta
    I have two more bowls of pork soup,
    one with lots of butter and one with none.
[06:07] Aletta
    I'll take care of the seishu refill.
[06:10] Master
    Got it. Thanks.
[06:14] Kuro
    Thanks for waiting. Here's your pork soup.
[06:23] Sarah
    Today's soup looks good.
[06:25] Aletta
    Yes! It's called pork soup.
[06:27] Sarah
    Is it?
[06:29] Sarah
    Okay, today I'll have my usual minced meat
    cutlet and a minced meat cutlet sandwich.
[06:32] Sarah
    Plus rice and pork soup, too.
[06:35] Heinrich
    Wh-What?!
[06:37] Heinrich
    Pork soup? Does that mean today is Meat Day?
[06:40] Sarah
    Do you know something, Fried Shrimp?
[06:43] Heinrich
    Tatsugoro—I mean, Sir Teriyaki mentioned it.
[06:47] Heinrich
    Pork soup is a legendary
    soup served only on Meat Day.
[06:51] Heinrich
    Girl!
[06:52] Heinrich
    Fried shrimp with rice and pork soup,
[06:55] Heinrich
    and a fried shrimp sandwich for takeout.
[06:57] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[06:58] Master
    Pork cutlet rice bowl
    and pork soup, order up.
[07:00] Kuro
    Yes, sir.
[07:06] Master
    Uh-oh. Already this far down?
[07:14] Aletta
    Master.
[07:15] Aletta
    We need a minced meat cutlet and a
    fried shrimp, both with pork soup and rice.
[07:19] Aletta
    Plus, a minced meat cutlet sandwich
    and a fried shrimp sandwich for takeout.
[07:24] Master
    Comin' right up.
[07:25] Master
    Let's send out the pork soup and rice first.
[07:28] Master
    Can you get the rice?
[07:29] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[07:32] Aletta
    Master, we're almost out of rice!
[07:34] Master
    Got it.
[07:36] Master
    Serve up what we do have for now.
[07:38] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir.
[07:44] Lionel
    Delicious!
[07:46] Lionel
    Two more pork cutlet rice bowls!
[07:47] Lionel
    And can I get another bowl of pork soup?!
[07:50] Kuro
    Coming right up.
[07:51] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience!
[07:52] Aletta
    Here's your pork soup and rice.
    Your meal will be out soon.
[07:56] Sarah
    It smells great.
[07:57] Heinrich
    It has more bits of food
    in it than in the usual soup.
[08:04] Sarah
    I see. What a sumptuous soup this is.
[08:09] Sarah
    Where have I tasted this flavor before?
[08:15] Sarah
    It's like the soup Mom made.
[08:20] Heinrich
    It has a faint taste of the sea.
    A secret seasoning?
[08:26] Heinrich
    I haven't been home in three years.
[08:30] Sarah
    It's been ages. Maybe I'll go visit home.
[08:37] Aletta
    Master!
[08:38] Aletta
    Everyone seems to be really
    enjoying the pork soup.
[08:44] Master
    Are they? Glad to hear it.
[08:47] Master
    All right.
[09:20] Aletta
    Thank you!
[09:25] Master
    All right. Gotta make tonight's batch.
[09:28] Aletta
    I'm done cleaning up.
[09:30] Master
    Good work.
[09:32] Master
    Your lunch is on the table. Eat up.
[09:34] Aletta
    Thank you!
[09:38] Aletta
    Don't mind if I do.
[09:43] Aletta
    It's delicious!
[09:45] Aletta
    It's like I'm eating fried shrimp and a
    pork cutlet rice bowl at the same time.
[09:50] Master
    Well, it's a similar dish.
[09:52] Aletta
    You're not going to eat?
[09:56] Master
    I sure would like to,
[10:00] Master
    but it'll have to wait
    until after I finish prep.

    Brother, didn't you say today would
    be the day you'd approach her?
[10:54] Renner
    Why can't you even ask so much

    Pathetic.

    Welcome!
[11:37] Aletta
    Oh, Artorius-san!
[11:39] Master
    Welcome. We've been waiting for you.
[11:41] Master
    You're later than usual.
[11:43] Master
    We were starting to get worried.
[11:49] Artorius
    It's nothing. I have a
    companion with me today.
[11:52] Alexander
    Hi. So you're this chef from another world.
[11:56] Master
    Y-Yes, I am.
[11:57] Alexander
    I'm... well, you wouldn't know the name.
[12:02] Alexander
    Anyway, thanks in advance.
[12:03] Master
    Of course. Thanks for coming.
[12:06] Artorius
    Well, he's not a bad fellow.
    Please take care of him.
[12:10] Master
    Don't worry about it. Better to be
    spirited when you're young, anyway.
[12:17] Aletta
    Today is Meat Day.
    Will you be having pork soup?
[12:20] Artorius
    Oh, is it? Of course I will.
[12:25] Artorius
    We're lucky, Alex.
[12:27] Alexander
    Huh. Are we?
[12:31] Aletta
    What else can we serve you today?
[12:33] Artorius
    I'll have my usual—
[12:36] Alexander
    Croquettes.
[12:37] Alexander
    I'll have the same drink as the old man.
[12:39] Aletta
    O-Okay.
[12:41] Aletta
    Croquettes, pork loin cutlet, two draft
    beers, and two bowls of pork soup, right?
[12:46] Aletta
    I'll put that right in.
[12:47] Artorius
    I see. You were after croquettes, were you?
[12:51] Alexander
    Yup.
[12:52] Artorius
    I hear they have them in the Empire, too.
[12:56] Alexander
    I already tried that.
[12:58] Alexander
    But I hear that the croquettes here are on a...
[13:02] Alexander
    totally... different... level.
[13:11] Alexander
    Hey, that elf woman...
[13:13] Alexander
    Isn't she dangerous?
[13:14] Artorius
    You think so, too?
[13:18] Artorius
    Even you wouldn't start anything with
    such an unimaginable opponent, no?
[13:24] Alexander
    Yeah. She's bad news.
[13:26] Alexander
    A being you definitely don't
    want to make an enemy of.
[13:35] Aletta
    Thanks for your patience.
[13:36] Aletta
    Here's two beers, a pork loin cutlet,
    and your croquettes.
SIGN    Croquettes
[13:44] Aletta
    Your pork soup will be out in
    just a moment, so sit tight, okay?
[13:48] Artorius
    Shall we eat?
[13:50] Alexander
    Absolutely.
[13:58] Alexander
    So this is a real croquette?
[14:01] Alexander
    The Empire's croquettes didn't
    have such a crunchy coating.
[14:06] Alexander
    And the inside...
[14:08] Alexander
    These brown bits mixed in with the
    cobbler's tubers... Are they meat?
[14:13] Alexander
    In the Empire, it was only cobbler's tubers.
[14:17] Alexander
    Well, no time like the present.
[14:25] Alexander
    This really is on another level!
[14:38] Alexander
    I think I understand why
    he was so fixated on these.
[14:45] Aletta
    Here's your pork soup.
[14:48] Artorius
    Could you bring us two portions
    of rice, and more beer?
[14:54] Aletta
    Sure! I'll have that right out!
[14:57] Artorius
    That won't do, Alex.
[15:00] Alexander
    What's the problem?
[15:01] Artorius
    Sauce is the soul of a croquette.
[15:04] Alexander
    Sauce?
[15:06] Artorius
    In the other world's cuisine,
    it's essential to fried foods.
[15:12] Artorius
    This is it.
[15:14] Artorius
    Pour it on top. It's an essential
    flavor for the fried food here.
[15:19] Alexander
    I see... On it goes, then.
[15:31] Alexander
    I see what you mean.
[15:33] Alexander
    The absence or presence of
    sauce makes a big difference.
[15:36] Artorius
    Doesn't it?
[15:37] Alexander
    Hey... Can we get this in our world?
[15:43] Artorius
    No.
[15:45] Alexander
    I see. That's a pity.
[15:49] Artorius
    Besides, our world is still nowhere near
    being able to make this world's sauce.
[15:58] Artorius
    Yomi said so, too.
[16:01] Alexander
    Yomi?
[16:03] Artorius
    Yes. Yomi...
[16:07] Artorius
    is still alive.
[16:11] Artorius
    Seventy years ago, in the final battle,
[16:14] Artorius
    Yomi was thrown to this world
[16:17] Artorius
    by the malevolent god's death throes.
[16:23] Artorius
    Yomi even has a grandchild in this world.
[16:30] Alexander
    Are you telling me the master of
    this restaurant is Yomi's grandson?
[16:35] Alexander
    He doesn't look like he
    can use magic or a sword.
[16:39] Artorius
    Of course not.
[16:42] (Flashback) Yomi
    He doesn't need swords or magic here,
[16:45] (Flashback) Yomi
    but I want to at least pass
    on our cooking skills.
[16:49] Artorius
    She told me herself.
[16:53] Alexander
    I see...
[17:01] (Flashback) Yomi
    I was created
[17:05] (Flashback) Yomi
    to defeat the demon lord.
[17:17] Alexander
    So she was enjoying life in this world.
[17:22] Artorius
    Yes.
[17:25] Alexander
    I see.
[17:28] Alexander
    Well, let's drink. A toast to Yomi's survival.
[17:33] Artorius
    Yes, with gratitude to this
    world for taking Yomi in.
[17:50] Maid
    Princess Adelheid, you're still recovering.
[17:54] Maid
    You mustn't move so quickly.
[17:57] Adelheid
    I know.
[17:59] Adelheid
    It's just been so long since I last got to
    visit Grandfather and Great-Grandmother.
[18:06] Adelheid
    I'm so looking forward to it.
[18:15] Alexander
    "I have no father.
[18:18] Alexander
    To me, my mother
    Adelheid is my sole parent."
[18:25] Alexander
    Hmph. What nonsense.
[18:27] Alexander
    Dying before me, your father...
    So much for filial piety.
[18:35] Alexander
    I ate croquettes at that restaurant.
[18:40] Alexander
    They were good.
[18:55] Alexander
    Addie...
[18:56] Alexander
    I'm sorry
[18:59] Alexander
    for back then.
[19:02] Alexander
    It was all I could do to get the both
    of you out of the old Imperial capital.
[19:09] Alexander
    I'm sorry.
[19:10] Alexander
    By the time the war was over,
[19:13] Alexander
    you were already...
[19:16] Alexander
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
[19:24] Adelheid
    Excuse me. Is something the matter?
[19:29] Maid
    Princess Adelheid,
    you shouldn't talk to strangers.
[19:33] Adelheid
    But this is Grandfather Wilhelm
    and Great-Grandmother's grave.
[19:39] Adelheid
    How could I ignore someone kind
    enough to visit their grave?
[19:44] Maid
    But...
[19:49] Adelheid
    Where did he go?
[19:55] Aletta
    Thank you.
[20:00] Master
    I'm beat.
[20:04] Aletta
    Good work today.
[20:06] Kuro
    Good work today.
[20:08] Aletta
    Today was really busy, wasn't it?
[20:11] Master
    You said it.
[20:15] Aletta
    That reminds me.
[20:16] Aletta
    Since the pork soup was a substitute
    for miso soup, it was free, right?
[20:21] Master
    That's right.
[20:23] Aletta
    C-Can the restaurant afford that?
[20:27] Master
    Don't worry about it.
[20:28] Master
    Meat Day is only once a month,
SIGN    Meat Day!
[20:31] Master
    and the meals make the money back.
[20:35] Master
    My granddad was always saying...

    be provided with food, not money."
[20:44] Master
    It was something like his last request.
[20:49] Master
    Besides...
[20:51] Master
    They all ate it so happily.
