[00:04] Master
    All right. That'll do.
[00:09] Master
    Order up.
[00:13] Aletta
    Good morning.
[00:15] Master
    Morning.
[00:20] Aletta
    That's a new smell.
[00:22] Master
    Yup. It's pork soup.
[00:25] Aletta
    Pork soup?
[00:26] Master
    Because it's Meat Day.
[00:28] Master
    We're substituting pork soup for miso soup.
[00:32] Aletta
    Meat Day?
[00:34] Kuro
    Good morning.
[00:36] Master
    Oh... M-Morning.
[00:38] Aletta
    Good morning, Kuro-san.
[00:40] Kuro
    Good morning, Aletta.
[00:44] Master
    We've got a busy day ahead, ladies.
[00:47] Master
    Fuel up.
[00:49] Kuro
    Yes, sir.
[00:52] Aletta
    U-Um, Master?
[00:54] Aletta
    P-P-P-Pork s—
[00:57] Master
    What is it?
[00:57] Aletta
    N-Nothing! Never mind.
[01:05] Master
    I'm planning on serving it
    up for our staff dinner.
[01:08] Master
    Can you hold out until then?
[01:12] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir! Thank you!
[02:53] Adelheid
    Once, four heroes lived
    on the Eastern Continent.
[02:58] Adelheid
    Recipient of the divine
    protection of the god of light,
[03:00] Adelheid
    Saint Leonard.
[03:03] Adelheid
    The world's greatest magic user,
[03:06] Adelheid
    Sage Artorius.
[03:08] Adelheid
    A half-elf who spent the majority
    of his long life on the battlefield,
[03:13] Adelheid
    and who could wipe out hordes
    of monsters with a single sword,
[03:16] Adelheid
    Sword God Alexander.
[03:19] Adelheid
    And finally, endowed with even
    stronger divine protection, magic,
[03:24] Adelheid
    and sword skills than the other three,
[03:25] Adelheid
    Hero Yomi.
[03:28] Adelheid
    The four joined forces and put an end to the
    centuries-long war with the evil demons.
[03:37] Adelheid
    However,
[03:38] Adelheid
    as the price for slaying the demon god
    pulled into our world by the demon lord,
[03:43] Adelheid
    they lost Hero Yomi.
[03:49] Adelheid
    This was about seventy years ago.
[03:55] Adelheid
    Leonard went on to become
    pontiff for the god of light.
[03:59] Adelheid
    He led many believers, stabilizing
    the influence of the god of light.
[04:06] Adelheid
    Artorius advanced magic so much that
    he went down in continental history.
[04:12] Adelheid
    He became the Great Sage, and still uses
[04:14] Adelheid
    his sharp mind to come ever closer
    to the secrets of magic.
[04:17] Adelheid
    Finally, Alexander
[04:20] Adelheid
    became a legendary mercenary who drifts
    from battlefield to battlefield.
[04:24] Adelheid
    Minstrels sing songs of
    his peerless beauty and
[04:29] Adelheid
    his affairs with fair
    ladies wherever he goes.
[04:36] Adelheid
    One day, Alexander's
    wanderings took him to
[04:41] Adelheid
    an old friend in the capital
    for reasons unknown...
[04:45] Artorius
    Alex. Glad to see you
    looking as well as ever.
[04:49] Alexander
    Wish I could say you look
    the same as ever, too.
[04:53] Alexander
    But you've aged. You're an old geezer now.
[04:57] Artorius
    What brings you here today?
[05:00] Artorius
    Something must have happened
    for you to come see me.
[05:04] Alexander
    That's right. Always liked how
    you get straight to the point.
[05:08] Alexander
    Actually, I'd like to go to this
    restaurant in another world.
[05:13] Alexander
    I heard about it from an acquaintance.
[05:15] Alexander
    They said they saw someone like Al there.
[05:19] Alexander
    There's something I'd like to eat.
[05:21] Alexander
    Take me there.
[05:23] Artorius
    I see. Then I'll show you the way.
[05:29] Artorius
    Only, we'll wait until evening.
[05:31] Alexander
    Evening? Why?
[05:33] Artorius
    It's better to go when it's empty.
[05:37] Artorius
    And...
[05:38] Artorius
    No good could come of having
    you meet the other diners.
[05:44] Lionel
    Three more large pork cutlet rice bowls!
[05:46] Lionel
    Also, another bowl of pork soup.
[05:49] Kuro
    Understood. Wait just a minute.
[05:55] Kuro
    Master, three large pork cutlet
    rice bowls and a bowl of pork soup.
[06:00] Master
    You got it.
[06:01] Aletta
    Master!
[06:02] Aletta
    I have two more bowls of pork soup,
    one with lots of butter and one with none.
[06:07] Aletta
    I'll take care of the seishu refill.
[06:10] Master
    Got it. Thanks.
[06:14] Kuro
    Thanks for waiting. Here's your pork soup.
[06:23] Sarah
    Today's soup looks good.
[06:25] Aletta
    Yes! It's called pork soup.
[06:27] Sarah
    Is it?
[06:29] Sarah
    Okay, today I'll have my usual minced meat
    cutlet and a minced meat cutlet sandwich.
[06:32] Sarah
    Plus rice and pork soup, too.
[06:35] Heinrich
    Wh-What?!
[06:37] Heinrich
    Pork soup? Does that mean today is Meat Day?
[06:40] Sarah
    Do you know something, Fried Shrimp?
[06:43] Heinrich
    Tatsugoro—I mean, Sir Teriyaki mentioned it.
[06:47] Heinrich
    Pork soup is a legendary
    soup served only on Meat Day.
[06:51] Heinrich
    Girl!
[06:52] Heinrich
    Fried shrimp with rice and pork soup,
[06:55] Heinrich
    and a fried shrimp sandwich for takeout.
[06:57] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[06:58] Master
    Pork cutlet rice bowl
    and pork soup, order up.
[07:00] Kuro
    Yes, sir.
[07:06] Master
    Uh-oh. Already this far down?
[07:14] Aletta
    Master.
[07:15] Aletta
    We need a minced meat cutlet and a
    fried shrimp, both with pork soup and rice.
[07:19] Aletta
    Plus, a minced meat cutlet sandwich
    and a fried shrimp sandwich for takeout.
[07:24] Master
    Comin' right up.
[07:25] Master
    Let's send out the pork soup and rice first.
[07:28] Master
    Can you get the rice?
[07:29] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[07:32] Aletta
    Master, we're almost out of rice!
[07:34] Master
    Got it.
[07:36] Master
    Serve up what we do have for now.
[07:38] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir.
[07:44] Lionel
    Delicious!
[07:46] Lionel
    Two more pork cutlet rice bowls!
[07:47] Lionel
    And can I get another bowl of pork soup?!
[07:50] Kuro
    Coming right up.
[07:51] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience!
[07:52] Aletta
    Here's your pork soup and rice.
    Your meal will be out soon.
[07:56] Sarah
    It smells great.
[07:57] Heinrich
    It has more bits of food
    in it than in the usual soup.
[08:04] Sarah
    I see. What a sumptuous soup this is.
[08:09] Sarah
    Where have I tasted this flavor before?
[08:15] Sarah
    It's like the soup Mom made.
[08:20] Heinrich
    It has a faint taste of the sea.
    A secret seasoning?
[08:26] Heinrich
    I haven't been home in three years.
[08:30] Sarah
    It's been ages. Maybe I'll go visit home.
[08:37] Aletta
    Master!
[08:38] Aletta
    Everyone seems to be really
    enjoying the pork soup.
[08:44] Master
    Are they? Glad to hear it.
[08:47] Master
    All right.
[09:20] Aletta
    Thank you!
[09:25] Master
    All right. Gotta make tonight's batch.
[09:28] Aletta
    I'm done cleaning up.
[09:30] Master
    Good work.
[09:32] Master
    Your lunch is on the table. Eat up.
[09:34] Aletta
    Thank you!
[09:38] Aletta
    Don't mind if I do.
[09:43] Aletta
    It's delicious!
[09:45] Aletta
    It's like I'm eating fried shrimp and a
    pork cutlet rice bowl at the same time.
[09:50] Master
    Well, it's a similar dish.
[09:52] Aletta
    You're not going to eat?
[09:56] Master
    I sure would like to,
[10:00] Master
    but it'll have to wait
    until after I finish prep.

[10:10] Arius
    Indeed it is.
[10:13] Arius
    Now, shall we head in?
[10:31] Adelheid
    I'm taking my leave. See you again.
[10:40] Aletta
    You're all set. We look
    forward to your next visit.
[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
    spend the hard times with her,
[11:15] Renner
    then your plan to spend your
    life with the Imperial princess
[11:18] Renner
    is only a fiction in your head.
[11:25] Renner
    Hey!
[11:25] Renner
    Wait, Brother!
[11:27] Renner
    Here!
[11:28] Aletta
    Th-Thank you!
[11:35] Aletta
    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.
