[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
[11:20] Tiana
    The wait is over, my people.
[11:23] Tiana
    We leave for the
    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?
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[15:59] Christian
    The Restaurant to Another World.
[16:04] Aletta
    Welcome!
[16:06] Kuro
    Welcome.
[16:08] Master
    C'mon in.
[16:09] Master
    Well, that's a new combination.
[16:12] Christian
    She's my friend's daughter.
[16:14] Christian
    I'm treating her today.
[16:17] Christian
    I'll have my usual.
[16:18] Christian
    Natto spaghetti, no egg. For two.
[16:22] Master
    Comin' right up.
[16:24] Aletta
    Please, have a seat wherever you like.
[16:27] Fardania
    Natto spaghetti... Is that
    a dish elves can eat, too?
[16:31] Christian
    Of course.
[16:33] Fardania
    Good...
[16:38] Fardania
    But just how many dishes does
    this restaurant serve?
[16:42] Christian
    Yet natto spaghetti has a... unique smell.
[16:47] Fardania
    Unique?
[16:49] Christian
    It isn't popular with the other diners.
[16:51] Christian
    I'm about the only one who'll order it.
[16:54] Fardania
    I see...
[17:02] Aletta
    Here's your natto spaghetti.
SIGN    Natto Spaghetti
[17:11] Aletta
    Please take your time and enjoy.
[17:14] Fardania
    The smell...
[17:16] Fardania
    It's certainly peculiar.
[17:18] Christian
    Well, let's eat up.
[17:20] Christian
    Don't worry. From what I know,
    this dish is very delicious.
[17:34] Christian
    That's good.
[17:36] Christian
    Natto's unique stickiness and smell...
[17:40] Christian
    The rich flavor is a combination
[17:42] Christian
    with something salty that must
    have been mixed in with it before.
[17:46] Christian
    Then there's an uncooked herb
    with a strong, unique taste
[17:51] Christian
    and something like black paper.
[17:52] Christian
    It's the savory taste of the
    grass that sways in the sea.
[17:56] Christian
    Combined with the light noodles,
    which taste almost only of wheat,
[18:02] Christian
    they come together as one dish.
[18:08] Christian
    It's as delicious as ever.
[18:15] Christian
    Looks like she's taken a liking to it, too.
[18:24] Christian
    She looks like she's
    thinking about something.
[18:27] Christian
    Is she mulling over the taste?
[18:35] Kuro
    I'll clear your plates.
[18:37] Christian
    Please. Also, could I get seconds—
[18:40] Fardania
    The "natto" used in these noodles...
[18:43] Kuro
    Yes?
[18:45] Fardania
    I'd like to try it with rice. Can I do that?
[18:48] Christian
    Wh-What?! I thought natto
    was eaten as noodle sauce.
[18:55] Kuro
    One moment, please.
[19:01] Kuro
    Master.
[19:02] Kuro
    A diner says she'd like to eat
    natto with rice. Is that possible?
[19:09] Master
    Good grief. We're technically a
    Western restaurant here, but...
[19:14] Master
    I can do that.
[19:14] Christian
    What?!
[19:16] Fardania
    Good. I'll take that, then.
[19:19] Fardania
    Oh, and two grilled rice ball sets.
[19:22] Fardania
    Can you make one with extra miso flavor?
[19:25] Master
    Sure thing.
[19:26] Master
    We'll have that right out for you.
[19:28] Christian
    E-Excuse me! I'd like the same.
[19:34] Christian
    I'd like natto with rice.
[19:37] Master
    You got it.
[19:45] Fardania
    Mm! I knew it.
[19:48] Fardania
    Natto pairs extremely well with rice.
[19:53] Christian
    It's good.
[19:54] Christian
    Natto has the taste of the earth.
[19:57] Christian
    It seems that pairing it with warm white
    rice brings out its savoriness even more.
[20:04] Christian
    If I had to compare it to something...
[20:05] Christian
    It's the extraordinary chemistry
    between two best friends.
[20:10] Christian
    Yet to me, this wonderful
    taste is the taste of defeat.
[20:15] Christian
    This girl before me, the daughter
    of my friend Edmond...
[20:19] Christian
    She hasn't lived even a third as long as I have,
[20:23] Christian
    yet she's surpassed me
    in the pursuit of flavor.
[20:27] Christian
    Her greed when it comes
    to the taste of cooking,
[20:30] Christian
    ideas that aren't held back
    by conventional sense,
[20:33] Christian
    and reckless bravery to boldly
    take on new challenges...
[20:38] Christian
    This is what it means to be young.
[20:41] Fardania
    Another bowl!
[20:45] Fardania
    What?! Rice exists in our world, too?
[20:48] Christian
    Yes, it does. Rice is a common
    crop across the ocean,
[20:55] Christian
    on the Western Continent.
[20:57] Fardania
    I see. I didn't know that.
[21:00] Fardania
    I'll go there immediately.
[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.
