**[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.

No treasure to be found in this
run-down town after all, then?
**[02:02] Sarah**
Oh, I don't know about that.
**[02:06] Innkeeper**
Right, a treasure hunter can't reveal
the location of their treasure.
**[02:10] Sarah**
Bye.
**[02:25] Sarah**
I thought I'd taken care of them all!
**[02:45] Sarah**

What is this? It wasn't here yesterday.

A restaurant in the middle

Mines?

Did you come in from
William-san's door, ma'am?
**[03:51] Sarah**
William's door?
**[03:54] Sarah**
Is it some kind of magic item?
**[03:56] Master**
Something like that.
**[03:57] Master**
According to an elderly regular,
**[04:00] Master**
it distorts space-time and creates
several doors to another world.
**[04:05] Sarah**
Huh? Another world?
**[04:07] Sarah**
This is another world?
**[04:09] Sarah**
It looks pretty normal to me—
**[04:12] Sarah**
Yet not.
**[04:13] Master**
Well, it's pretty run-of-the-mill on this side.
**[04:17] Master**
So how about it? Won't you stay for a bite?

Th-The food's to die for.

**[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?

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**

**[18:19] (Flashback) Heinrich**

**[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.

Th-Th-This...
**[01:32] Aletta**
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,
what would you name it?

Knight's Pasta!
***SIGN*** Alfade Company
**[02:11] Master**
Is that so?
**[02:12] Aletta**
Huh?

* 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?
**[03:46] Thomas**
A restaurant.
**[03:48] Thomas**

Ah... Nice to meet you. I'm Aletta.

**[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!
**[12:52] (Flashback) Wilhelm**
I see.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Wilhelm**
The neighboring nation's port...
**[12:56] (Flashback) Wilhelm**
Still, even if it is a golden opportunity...
**[12:59] (Flashback) Wilhelm**
To send that child here alone
while he goes off to battle...
**[13:14] (Flashback) Adelheid**
Grandfather.
**[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,
**[13:23] (Flashback) Adelheid**
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?
**[16:10] Adelheid**
N-No, I just don't have
much of an appetite.
**[16:13] Older Maid**
I see.
**[16:15] Older Maid**
I'll prepare you something lighter.

*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.*

Well?
**[12:48] Master**
Were you able to eat it?
**[13:05] (Flashback) Fardania**
I'm going now.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Fardania's Father**
Are you certain you'll be
safe on your own, Fardania?
**[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.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Fardania's Father**
Have a safe trip.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Fardania**
I'll be back.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Fardania**
It's okay. I'll heal you.
**[14:06] (Flashback) Fardania**
Be careful, now.
**[14:25] Fardania**
*What was that?*
**[14:26] Fardania**
*I sense... teleportation magic?*
**[14:29] Fardania**
*It's not anyone from the village.*

*This is...*

**[15:08] (Flashback) Sarah**
Two portions of minced meat cutlet, please.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Heinrich**
Another fried shrimp.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Aletta**
Um... I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
**[15:15] (Flashback) Sarah**
Two portions of minced meat cutlet!
**[15:15] (Flashback) Heinrich**
Another fried shrimp!
**[15:17] (Flashback) Aletta**
C-Coming right up.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Master**
Oh? Come on in.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Master**
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!

Pork cutlet rice bowl!
**[01:36] Aletta**
Master, does that customer only
eat pork cutlet rice bowls?
**[01:40] Master**
Hm? Oh, him.
**[01:42] Master**
I only heard this from my granddad,
so I'm not sure how much is true...
**[01:59] (Flashback) Alexander**
Pretty big sword you have there.
**[02:02] (Flashback) Alexander**
But...
**[02:06] (Flashback) Lionel**
Damn it!
**[02:16] (Flashback) Alexander**
How do you like my attack? It's my specialty.
**[02:19] (Flashback) Alexander**
You can't move, can you?
**[02:21] (Flashback) Alexander**
I may not look it, but I
do know how to wield.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Alexander**
Whether it's a sword in my hands...
**[02:26] (Flashback) Alexander**
or my sword down below.
**[02:31] (Flashback) Alexander**
Relax. It won't kill you.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Alexander**
In three days, you'll be moving
as if it never happened.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Alexander**
Your minions, too.
**[02:38] (Flashback) Alexander**
I stabbed you all in that special way.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Alexander**
It's part of my contract with my employer.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Alexander**
My share is your belongings and 30% of
the profits from selling off all of you.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Alexander**
Feel free to gloat about it. You went
up against one of the Four Heroes,
**[02:56] (Flashback) Alexander**
the half-elf Alexander,
and lived to tell the tale!
**[03:01] (Flashback) Lionel**
M-Monster...
**[03:04] (Flashback) Alexander**
Me? A monster?
**[03:08] (Flashback) Alexander**
Never thought a monster would
be calling me a monster!
**[03:22] (Flashback) Old Man**
You. Listen up.
**[03:24] (Flashback) Old Man**
You've got special permission
**[03:27] (Flashback) Old Man**
to use the same weapon you used before.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Old Man**
And another thing. We paid
ten thousand gold coins for you.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Old Man**
Repay it, and you can buy back your freedom.
**[03:41] (Flashback) Old Man**
So says the demon lord. Isn't he gracious?
**[03:47] (Flashback) Old Man**
If you can best your opponent,
you'll be awarded one hundred gold coins!
**[03:51] (Flashback) Old Man**
Win one hundred times, and you're a free man!
**[03:54] (Flashback) Old Man**
Boy, do I envy you!
**[03:56] Lionel**
* Don't make me laugh.*
* You don't think I stand a chance.*
**[04:01] (Flashback) Old Man**
Well, try to put on a good show.
Your match is at noon.
**[04:23] Master**
* Lionel was bought by the demon lord*
* family that controlled the demons' capital.*
**[04:29] Master**
* Under the empire, the demons ruled*
* through law and intelligence,*
**[04:34] Master**
* and Lionel had committed many*
* heinous acts in their domain.*
**[04:37] Master**
* So they decided to make an*
* example of him by throwing him*
**[04:40] Master**
*into the arena as a gladiator slave.*
**[04:52] (Flashback) Lionel**
A manticore?
**[04:54] Lionel**
*Can I beat it?*
**[04:56] Lionel**
*I lost to that spindly little half-elf.*
**[05:04] (Flashback) Lionel**
What's that?

Why is there a door here?
**[05:13] (Flashback) Lionel**
Well, why not? I don't have long, anyway.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Former Master**
Welcome! C'mon in.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Former Master**
A new customer? Now that's a rare sight.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Lionel**
Old man, what is this place?
**[05:34] (Flashback) Former Master**
This is an eatery by the name
of Western Restaurant Nekoya.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Lionel**
An eatery?
**[05:42] Lionel**
*Why is there such a place in the arena?*
**[05:45] (Flashback) Former Master**
How 'bout it? You gonna eat?
**[05:48] (Flashback) Former Master**
If you don't have any money,
I'll put it on your tab.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Lionel**
Is that so?
**[05:55] (Flashback) Lionel**
Then feed me something.
**[05:57] (Flashback) Lionel**
I can't pay, though.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Lionel**
So? What's good here?
**[06:02] (Flashback) Former Master**
Well, everything's good here, of course.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Former Master**
If you've got a craving, just say the word.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Lionel**
For now, I need some meat, and...
**[06:13] (Flashback) Lionel**
Something that could carry me
to victory... No, never mind.
**[06:16] (Flashback) Former Master**
Got it. Comin' right up.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Lionel**
He has such a thing?
**[06:34] (Flashback) Former Master**
And here you go.
***SIGN*** Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl
**[06:38] (Flashback) Lionel**
What is this?
**[06:40] (Flashback) Former Master**
We call it "katsudon."
**[06:42] (Flashback) Lionel**
Katsudon?
**[06:44] (Flashback) Former Master**
That's right. In my country's language,
**[06:48] (Flashback) Former Master**
"katsu" can mean "victory."
**[06:51] (Flashback) Former Master**
It's made with meat, eggs, and rice,
so it's jam-packed with nutrition.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Former Master**
Now this is a meal for a warrior.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Former Master**
Well, take your time and enjoy.
**[07:10] (Flashback) Lionel**
All right. I'll eat it.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Lionel**
What is this?
**[07:28] (Flashback) Lionel**
Oh, right. Is this that "rice"
stuff the old man mentioned?
**[07:35] Lionel**
*I see. It isn't half-bad.*
**[07:38] Lionel**
*So it's basically to pad out the meal.*
**[07:41] Lionel**
*Wait...*
**[07:56] Lionel**
* I see now! So that's the*
* kind of dish this is!*
**[08:00] Lionel**
* The meat is strong alone,*
* and the rice is weak alone. I see!*
**[08:05] Lionel**
*Delicious!*
**[08:20] Lionel**
*It's not nearly enough.*
**[08:23] Lionel**
*Damn it! If only I had some money.*
**[08:26] Lionel**
*Well, that's just the way it goes.*
**[08:29] (Flashback) Former Master**
Here you go. Another pork
cutlet rice bowl for you.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Former Master**
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.

**[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.
**[12:17] Aletta**
Shripe caught in the southern sea,
coated in bread crumbs and fried in oil.
**[12:22] Master**
Stewed cow's mea—
**[12:23] Aletta**
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.*

*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*

* and the sauce accents the*

*This truly is the greatest combination.*

Check, please.

**[21:23] Master**
That's right.

B-But isn't she an elf?
**[21:30] Artorius**
*Victoria isn't bitter about being a half-elf.*

**[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**

Okay. Coming right up.
**[06:28] Sarah**
By the way, did you find

**[06:32] Aletta**
No, not yet.
**[06:34] Aletta**

You work here every Day of Satur,

Hey! Make sure to put

**[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.
**[12:10] Lionel**
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,
**[16:20] Aletta**
a teriyaki sandwich, a
pork loin cutlet sandwich,
**[16:22] Aletta**
two spaghetti napolitan dogs, for takeout.
**[16:24] Aletta**
One plate each of fruit sandwiches
with cream and with custard.
**[16:27] Aletta**
Another pork cutlet rice bowl,
another beer, two cups of seishu.
**[16:30] Aletta**
I put in the large omelette rice
and three omelettes to go, so...
**[16:33] Aletta**
C-Coming right up!
***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.
**[00:13] Alphonse**
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.
***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya
**[04:51] Alphonse**
It's been seven days...
**[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.*
**[05:18] Alphonse**
*Perhaps I'll search after we return.*
***SIGN*** Three Months Later
***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya

And closer than I expected.

Welcome to Western Restaurant Nekoya.
**[05:58] Master**
C'mon in.
**[06:01] Master**
Huh? Alphonse-san?
**[06:05] Master**
I haven't seen you in a long while.
**[06:07] Alphonse**
Aye, it's good to see you.
**[06:08] Alphonse**
But first, curry!
**[06:10] Alphonse**
Bring me curry rice!
**[06:11] Alphonse**
Now!
**[06:13] Master**
You got it. Just give me a few minutes.
**[06:16] Aletta**

***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya
**[07:25] Alphonse**
*I've eaten it countless times*

**[07:31] Alphonse**
*Curry rice!*
**[07:35] (Flashback) Granddad**
C'mon in.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Alphonse**
You there! What is this place?
**[07:38] (Flashback) Granddad**
We're just an eatery.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Granddad**
Put that thing away and have a bite to eat.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Alphonse**
An eatery, you say?
**[07:45] (Flashback) Alphonse**
In a place such as this?
**[07:46] (Flashback) Granddad**
Yup. Well, don't just stand there.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Granddad**
Mind taking a seat?
**[07:55] (Flashback) Alphonse**
I have money.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Alphonse**
I'm starving. Feed me something, anything.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Granddad**
Hmm... I can dish up a
plate of curry real quick.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Granddad**
Will that do?
**[08:07] (Flashback) Alphonse**
Curry?
**[08:09] (Flashback) Alphonse**
Aye, that will do.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Granddad**
Comin' right up.
**[08:14] Alphonse**
* I must have eaten this dish*
* a good thousand times by now.*
**[08:28] Alphonse**
Yes. Curry rice is the master dish.
**[08:31] Artorius**
Hullo.
**[08:33] Artorius**
You have as big an
appetite as ever, I see.
**[08:36] Alphonse**
What? I was hungry, that's all.
**[08:39] Alphonse**
Seconds, please.
**[08:40] Alphonse**
Make it large, of course.
**[08:42] Aletta**
We'll get that right out to you.
**[08:43] Artorius**
Goodness gracious.
Nothing but curry for you, eh?
**[08:47] Artorius**
How do you not get tired of it?
**[08:49] Alphonse**
Tire of it? Never.
**[08:51] Alphonse**
Curry has infinite possibilities.
**[08:53] Alphonse**
Why don't you try switching things up
with pork cutlet curry once in a while?
**[08:56] Alphonse**
Now that's a delicious dish.
**[08:58] Alphonse**
Much better than eating
pork cutlet by itself.
**[09:02] Artorius**
I'll decline.
**[09:04] Artorius**
The best complement to pork cutlets
is cutlet sauce and beer.
**[09:08] Artorius**
I won't budge on that.
**[09:11] Alphonse**
Some people never change.
**[09:26] Aletta**
E-Excuse me—
**[09:27] Alphonse**
My curry's here?!
**[09:28] Master**
No, sorry. Actually, I have a new
curry rice dish I'd like you to try.
**[09:34] Master**
I was hoping to get your opinion on it.
**[09:36] Alphonse**
What?! A new curry rice dish?!

*And*

**[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**

*but contains no living things.*
**[12:12] Kuro**
*If there are no living things,*

**[13:07] Master**
The thing is, I've been asked
about this for a long time now.

About what?
**[13:14] Master**
People want a curry dish made

**[13:18] Master**
And I finally finished a

Right. Would you taste-test it for me?

No charge, of course.

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.*

* 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.*

*Not only does eating it with rice*

* 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.
**[06:35] Aletta**
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.
**[06:52] Master**
You got it. Give me just a minute.
**[06:54] Arte**
Let's sit.
**[06:56] Aletta**
Please take a seat wherever you like.
**[06:58] Arte**
Okay.
**[07:03] Rokei**
Um, where are we?
**[07:06] Arte**
This is the Restaurant to Another World.
**[07:08] Arte**
You can only come once every seven days.
**[07:11] Rokei**
Only once every seven days?
**[07:14] Arte**
It's where you can eat Hamburg steak.
**[07:21] Aletta**
Thank you for your patience.
Here are your demi-glace Hamburg steaks.
***SIGN*** Hamburg Steak
**[07:27] Aletta**
Please take your time and enjoy.
**[07:33] Rokei**
It's the meat of some beast, huh?
**[07:35] Rokei**
Er, is this...
**[07:38] Arte**
Ith's good. Eat it and you'll thee.
**[07:41] Rokei**
O-Okay. Thanks.
**[07:43] Rokei**
Here I go...
**[07:47] Rokei**
Oh, this is pretty tender.
**[07:53] Rokei**
*Huh?! Wh-What is this?*
**[07:57] Rokei**
*It makes me want rice.*
**[08:09] Rokei**
Th-This is incredible!
**[08:11] Arte**
Ith gooh with egg yoh, too.
**[08:32] Rokei**
It is!
**[08:34] Rokei**
It's even better with the egg.
**[08:53] Rokei**
I'd sure like to eat more.
**[08:55] Arte**
Yeah.
**[08:56] Rokei**
E-Excuse me!
**[08:58] Kuro**
Yes?
**[09:00] Kuro**
How may I help you?
**[09:02] Rokei**
Another Hamburg steak.
Make that two, please.
**[09:07] Kuro**
Understood. One moment, please.
**[09:11] Aletta**
I'll clear those plates away for you.
**[09:15] Rokei**
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
could go to that restaurant, didn't you?
**[10:11] Rokei**
L-Listen...
**[10:15] Rokei**
W-Will you go there with me again?
**[10:28] Arte**
Okay.
**[10:30] Rokei**
We'll go on the next Day of Satur, then.
**[10:32] Arte**
Yeah. On the next Day of Satur.

***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya
**[11:19] Master**
Okay. It's your thirty-minute break.
**[11:21] Aletta**
Yes, sir.
**[11:32] Aletta**
So good.
**[11:37] Aletta**
I feel so happy.
**[11:40] (Flashback) Sarah**
So it was you.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Sarah**
That's great! I'll ask
you to do the job, then.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Sarah**
It's cleaning, laundry,
and other things around the house.
**[11:50] (Flashback) Aletta**
Okay!
**[11:51] (Flashback) Sarah**
Also, I go out a lot, so I'll be counting
on you to hold down the fort then, too.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Aletta**
Yes!
**[11:58] (Flashback) Sarah**
The pay is eight copper coins per day.
**[12:01] (Flashback) Sarah**
And I have an extra room, though
it's small. You can stay there.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Aletta**
R-Really?
**[12:07] (Flashback) Sarah**
You bet.
**[12:11] Aletta**
*Maybe I'll borrow the kitchen*
**[12:13] Aletta**
* and try making steamed potatoes*
* with butter like Master taught me.*
**[12:23] Aletta**
I can eat these, right?
**[12:25] Aletta**
I am a little hungry.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Master**
You're welcome to eat the
cookies in the break room.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Aletta**
Huh?
**[12:34] (Flashback) Master**
There's a bakery above us called Flying
Puppy. It's a sample from them.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Aletta**
Above us?
**[12:41] (Flashback) Master**
Anyway, no need to hold back. Eat them.
**[12:45] Aletta**
Well, Master said I could!
**[12:48] Aletta**
Which ones do I want...
**[12:50] Aletta**
Okay! This one, this one, this one,
and this one, and this one!
**[12:59] Aletta**
* Sweets taste so much more*
* delicious than fruits.*
**[13:09] Aletta**
They go so fast.
**[13:12] Aletta**
But there are still so many.
**[13:14] Aletta**
I could have several more—
**[13:16] Aletta**
No, no! I should only have five at once.
**[13:21] Aletta**
Back to work...
***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya
**[13:25] Aletta**
Thank you very much!
**[13:25] Kuro**
Thank you very much.
**[13:30] Kuro**
Time to eat.
**[13:32] Master**
Huh?!
**[13:33] Master**
Uh, right. Eat up.
**[13:35] Aletta**
I may never get used to that.
**[13:37] Master**
Yeah...
**[13:38] Aletta**
Also, sometimes I don't know if she's
taken a customer's order or not.
**[13:44] Kuro**
Okay.
**[13:46] Kuro**
I'll transmit anything about orders
or business to both of you.
**[13:49] Aletta**
That would be a big help.
**[13:52] Kuro**
Okay.
**[13:55] Master**
Oh, that's right, Aletta-san.
**[13:59] Master**
Your pay for today.
**[14:01] Aletta**
Thank you very much.
**[14:03] Master**
And...
**[14:05] Master**
A congratulatory gift, too.
**[14:08] Aletta**
Um... What's a congratulatory gift?
**[14:11] Master**
You mentioned this morning that
you found a steady job, right?
**[14:17] Aletta**
Yes, I did, but...
**[14:21] Master**
Oh, I see. On this side, we give a
gift when something good happens.
**[14:28] Aletta**
I-Is that so? Thank you very much.
**[14:34] Aletta**
Wait, isn't this...
**[14:35] Master**
You looked like you were holding
back in the break room.
**[14:40] Master**
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.
**[14:54] Master**
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.
**[15:05] Aletta**
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.
**[15:18] Master**
Also, the silica gel at the bottom...
**[15:21] Aletta**
Silica gel?
**[15:23] Master**
The clear pellets. Those aren't edible.
**[15:24] Master**
Keep that in mind.
**[15:26] Aletta**
U-Understood!
**[15:44] Aletta**
*Only a few left already...*
**[15:46] Aletta**
*I'll save them for tomorrow.*

We've arrived at
Miss Sarah's house, Mistress Shia.
**[16:01] Shia**
Oh? Thanks.
**[16:03] Shia**
I'm going in, then. Come pick
me up in a little while.
**[16:07] Butler**
Yes. Enjoy your visit.
**[16:09] Shia**
Now, then... I hope my sister's doing well.
**[16:17] Aletta**
Coming!
**[16:19] Shia**
Sarah—
**[16:20] Aletta**
Um, I'm terribly sorry.
Miss Sarah is out at the moment.
**[16:27] Shia**
Who are you?
**[16:28] Aletta**
Um, you're Miss Shia, yes?
**[16:31] Shia**
Huh?

Pleased to meet you. Miss Sarah
hired me as a housekeeper.
**[16:38] Aletta**
My name is Aletta.
**[16:39] Shia**
Would you mind letting me wait inside?
**[16:43] Aletta**
Ah, of course! Please come in.

I'll bring you tea.

**[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.
**[02:45] Guilhem**

***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.*

*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.
**[17:05] Aletta**
Welcome.
**[17:07] Renner**
It's always cool in here.

I'll come back when you're ready to order.
**[17:53] Renner**
Looks like your fair beauty isn't here yet.
**[17:57] Shareef**
Right... she isn't.
**[18:10] Shareef**
Renner, are you ready to order?
**[18:15] Renner narr**
*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.*
**[18:30] Renner narr**
*I'll have it with soft serve today.*

I'm ready, Brother.
**[18:35] Shareef**
All right.
**[18:36] Shareef**
Excuse me! We're ready.
**[18:39] Aletta**
Coming!
**[18:40] Shareef**
I'll have a coffee float with ice cream.
**[18:44] Shareef**
Make the kaffa sweet, please.

I'll have the melon soda and soft

Got it. One moment, please.
**[19:00] Aletta**
Here's your coffee float and melon soda float.

**[19:09] Renner narr**
*It's as beautiful as ever.*
**[19:11] Aletta**
Please take your time and enjoy.
**[19:14] Renner narr**
*My first taste has to be of the cream.*
**[19:25] Renner narr**
* This "soft serve ice cream,"*
* 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.
**[11:15] ---**
Yes, Your Majesty!
***SIGN*** Western Restaurant Nekoya

Restaurant to Another World now!
**[11:30] Tiana**
All right. Guardian, open the door.
**[11:34] Tiana**
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?

Unique?

**[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.*

*It's as delicious as ever.*
**[18:15] Christian**
*Looks like she's taken a liking to it, too.*
**[18:24] Christian**

*Is she mulling over the taste?*

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.

natto with rice. Is that possible?

Good grief. We're technically a

**[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.

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...*

* yet she's surpassed me*
* in the pursuit of flavor.*

* Her greed when it comes*
* to the taste of cooking,*

*This is what it means to be young.*

Another bowl!

Yes, it does. Rice is a common
crop across the ocean,

on the Western Continent.
**[20:57] Fardania**
I see. I didn't know that.
**[21:00] Fardania**
I'll go there immediately.
**[21:05] Christian**
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.*

**[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*

See you next time.

Good morning.

Morning.

That's a new smell.

Yup. It's pork soup.

Pork soup?

Because it's Meat Day.

**[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.

Indeed it is.

I'm taking my leave. See you again.

You're all set. We look

**[10:44] Adelheid**
Thank you for the delicious food.
**[10:50] Renner**
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
as what her hobbies are?
**[10:57] Renner**
Pathetic.
**[11:02] Shareef**
My fair beauty is still recuperating
all alone, isn't she?
**[11:06] Shareef**
I couldn't ask her about hobbies now. I...
**[11:10] Renner**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[11:12] Renner**
If you aren't prepared to

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...
**[20:39] Master**
"Extra service at a restaurant should
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.
**[20:55] Master**
Can't hurt to do it once in a while.
**[21:01] Aletta**
Master...
**[21:05] Master**
Let's have a late dinner, then.
**[21:08] Master**
Our staff meal will be grilled butter
soy sauce rice balls, pork soup, and...
**[21:14] Master**
I know. How about Japanese omelettes?
**[21:18] Aletta**
Thank you! I'd love that!
**[21:20] Master**
Kuro, do you want seconds?
**[21:23] Kuro**
Yes.
**[21:25] Master**
Sit tight. I'll start it soon.
