**[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*
**[21:40] Kuro**
*in that world that could harm me on one hand.*
**[21:43] Kuro**
*But...*
**[21:50] Kuro**
Okay. You take care, too.
**[21:53] Aletta**
See you next time.
**[22:01] Kuro**
*Thanks.*
