[01:31] Aletta
    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?
[02:09] Aletta
    Knight's Pasta!
SIGN    Alfade Company
[02:11] Master
    Is that so?
[02:12] Aletta
    Huh?
[02:15] Sirius
    Thomas Alfade, the former
    proprietor of the Alfade Company,
[02:18] Sirius
    dealt in a variety of ingredients,
    with a focus on wheat.
[02:23] Sirius
    Said to be the company's restorer,
[02:26] Sirius
    he elevated the wheat noodles
    once thought of as peasant food
[02:29] Sirius
    to a staple fixture on nobles' dining tables
[02:31] Sirius
    and built the Alfade Company into the
    kingdom's most prominent trading empire.
[02:38] Sirius
    He invented a variety of sauces,
[02:41] Sirius
    thus greatly elevating
    the status of pasta dishes,
[02:44] Sirius
    which had only used simple seasonings before.
[02:48] Sirius
    Many people purchased the Alfade
    Company's pasta and pasta sauce,
[02:52] Sirius
    and Thomas was lauded as the
    Genius of Culinary Innovation.
[02:58] Sirius
    But he had a secret.
[03:02] Sirius
    And the key to that secret
    lay beyond a certain door.
[03:08] Sirius
    This is the door that
    connects to another world?
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[03:14] Thomas
    All right. That should do it.
[03:17] Sirius
    Is it really true, Grandfather Thomas?
[03:20] Sirius
    It is indeed unnatural for there
[03:22] Sirius
    to be such a well-made door in
    the company cellar, but still...
[03:26] Sirius
    What's more, I feel it could be dangerous.
[03:29] Thomas
    Come now, it's safe.
[03:32] Thomas
    It isn't so different from our own world.
[03:34] Thomas
    Most importantly, you could say that
    the Alfade Company is deeply indebted
[03:38] Thomas
    to the shop on the other side of this door.
[03:41] Sirius
    A shop we're indebted to?
[03:43] Sirius
    What kind of shop is it?
[03:46] Thomas
    A restaurant.
[03:48] Thomas
    The Restaurant to Another World.
[03:50] Sirius
    The Restaurant to Another World?
[03:55] Aletta
    Welcome!
[03:56] Thomas
    Oh?
[03:57] Aletta
    Ah... Nice to meet you. I'm Aletta.
[04:01] Aletta
    Have you been here before?
[04:04] Thomas
    Y-Yes. Is the master in?
[04:07] Master
    Come on in, Thomas-san.
    Give me just a minute.
[04:11] Thomas
    We're going to have a seat.
    Is that all right?
[04:15] Aletta
    Go right ahead.
[04:19] Sirius
    This is incredible. It's full of
    things I've never seen before.
[04:29] Master
    Who's this?
[04:32] Sirius
    Pleased to meet you. My name is Sirius.
[04:36] Sirius
    Thank you for all you've
    done for my grandfather.
[04:38] Thomas
    As you've just heard, this is my grandson.
[04:41] Thomas
    I'll be bringing him with
    me from time to time.
[04:43] Thomas
    Thanks in advance.
[04:47] Master
    I see. There's definitely a resemblance.
[04:53] Thomas
    Is there now?
[04:54] Master
    Well, we'll bring out your coffee first.
[04:59] Thomas
    Coffee?
[05:00] Thomas
    It's a type of tea in this world.
    It's black and bitter.
[05:04] Thomas
    It's pretty good, once you
    develop a taste for it.
[05:06] Thomas
    Gives you energy.
[05:10] Thomas
    Finding it curious, then?
[05:13] Sirius
    Yes. This really is another world, isn't it?
[05:15] Thomas
    That it is.
[05:17] Thomas
    Take a good look around.
[05:18] Thomas
    You can tell that the decor,
[05:21] Thomas
    the setup, and so on all deviate
    from our common sense, yes?
[05:27] Sirius
    I see what you mean. It does.
[05:32] Aletta
    Thank you for waiting.
[05:34] Aletta
    Here's your coffee.
[05:36] Thomas
    Thank you.
[05:42] Thomas
    Now, let's drink.
[05:44] Thomas
    Would you mind passing me the sugar?
[05:48] Sirius
    Y-Yes, sir.
[05:51] Sirius
    This is incredible, too.
[05:52] Sirius
    It's very high-quality sugar,
    isn't it? It's pure white.
[06:08] Thomas
    That's good.
[06:09] Thomas
    Go on, drink before it gets cold.
[06:13] Thomas
    Put in two spoonfuls of sugar, and milk, too.
[06:16] Sirius
    Okay.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[06:19] Master
    Thanks for waiting.
[06:20] Master
    Here are this month's Day of Satur proceeds.
[06:25] Thomas
    Mm.
[06:26] Master
    Do you mind if I hold on to this bag, then?
[06:30] Thomas
    Please do. We'll count the
    proceeds in the meantime.
[06:38] Sirius
    I see eight gold coins!
[06:42] Thomas
    It's a little more than last month.
[06:46] Sirius
    This is the proceeds from this restaurant?
[06:49] Thomas
    That's right. It's also the payment
    for the contents of that bag.
[06:53] Sirius
    I see now.
[06:55] Sirius
    But I don't think those ingredients are
    quite enough for this restaurant to use.
[07:01] Thomas
    Apparently, those are for
    the master to eat himself.
[07:05] Sirius
    He eats them? The restaurant's master?
[07:08] Thomas
    Yes. His predecessor did the same.
[07:10] Thomas
    He says he uses them to research flavors.
[07:13] Sirius
    Research?
[07:14] Thomas
    Yes. You see...
[07:17] (Flashback) Master
    Our restaurant's flavors are
    decided by Japanese tastes.
[07:21] (Flashback) Master
    Ahem, to you, they'd be the
    humans of another world.
[07:26] (Flashback) Master
    Luckily, there's not a huge disconnect,
    but it's still a bit different.
[07:31] Thomas
    So he adjusts his recipes so they'll be
    as palatable to us as possible, he says.
[07:37] Sirius
    He goes out of his way to do that?
[07:39] Sirius
    He can't make much profit from this.
[07:41] Thomas
    Well, he says that what he
    enjoys more than anything
[07:45] Thomas
    is feeding his customers good food
    and making them happy with it.
[07:49] Sirius
    Is that so?
[07:50] Master
    Thanks for waiting.
[07:52] Master
    I confirmed that all the items were there.
[07:55] Master
    As always, I'll treat you to a dish.
[07:58] Master
    Order anything you like.
[08:00] Master
    That goes for your grandson, too.
[08:02] Thomas
    I'll have my usual. An extra-large
    serving of spaghetti with meat sauce.
[08:07] Thomas
    Will that do for you, too, Sirius?
[08:09] Sirius
    Yes, sir. I'll leave it to you.
[08:11] Master
    Got it. Two large orders of
    spaghetti with meat sauce.
[08:22] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience. Here's
    your spaghetti with meat sauce.
SIGN    Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
[08:27] Sirius
    Grandfather, is this...
[08:30] Thomas
    Oh, it'll all be clear once you eat it.
[08:34] Thomas
    Now, let's dig in before it gets cold.
[08:46] Thomas
    Thinly sliced mushrooms,
    crushed and roasted nuts,
[08:50] Thomas
    oranie sauteed in oil,
    and a variety of herbs...
[08:57] Thomas
    We still have a long way
    to go to reach this, eh?
[09:07] Sirius
    What is this?
[09:09] Sirius
    The savoriness of the
    high-quality oil from the meat
[09:12] Sirius
    simmered in sauce explodes in my mouth.
[09:15] Sirius
    The beef and pork is so tender and flavorful,
[09:18] Sirius
    it's as if the animals were raised for
    the express purpose of butchering them.
[09:21] Sirius
    Frying and stewing them together
[09:24] Sirius
    makes the different flavors
    of both meats mingle
[09:27] Sirius
    to create a taste that
    neither could produce alone.
[09:31] Sirius
    And the stewed vegetables of another
    world used as the sauce's base...
[09:36] Sirius
    They were simmered and crushed into a liquid
[09:41] Sirius
    with a sweet sourness and lots of flavor.
[09:45] Sirius
    This bright red sauce pairs well with
    the meat and brings out its flavor.
[09:50] Sirius
    But the vegetable used in this sauce...
[09:54] Sirius
    Isn't it the same as the marmetts that
    our company discovered in a remote region
[09:58] Sirius
    and cultivate exclusively?
[10:02] Sirius
    It can't be.
[10:03] Thomas
    What do you think, Sirius?
[10:06] Thomas
    How does the pasta of
    another world taste to you?
[10:10] Sirius
    Why does this restaurant have a dish with a
    taste that our company has yet to put out?
[10:17] Sirius
    Could it be...
[10:25] Sirius
    Grandfather, did you...
[10:29] Thomas
    Yes. The title they gave me so long ago,
[10:32] Thomas
    the Genius of Culinary
    Innovation—it's all a sham.
[10:37] Thomas
    I merely wanted to eat this
    on the other side, too!
[10:42] Sirius
    Grandfather...
[10:43] Thomas
    Now, let's keep eating.
[10:47] Thomas
    This green cylinder contains a
    cheese grated down to powder.
[10:52] Thomas
    Sprinkling it over the meat
    sauce mellows the taste.
[10:55] Thomas
    And this red juice is a
    spice of the other world.
[10:59] Thomas
    It has the spiciness of togaran
    and the sourness of vinegar.
[11:02] Thomas
    It gives the meat sauce's flavor more punch.
[11:05] Sirius
    Cheese turned to powder—huh?
[11:09] Thomas
    Happens all the time. Break it up and eat it.
[11:21] Sirius
    Delicious!
[11:27] Thomas
    Give it a good shake.
[11:40] Thomas
    Perhaps I really should sell these
    two condiments through the company.
[11:45] Thomas
    Whoops. Mustn't forget that I'm already retired.
[11:59] Sirius
    Grandfather?
[12:00] Thomas
    You can only go to that restaurant
    once every seven days.
[12:03] Sirius
    What?!
[12:05] Thomas
    I go once every four times,
[12:07] Thomas
    to make my deal with its master.
[12:10] Sirius
    Is that so?
[12:11] Thomas
    But you can do as you like on the other days.
[12:15] Sirius
    Huh? I may?
[12:18] Thomas
    You bet.
[12:19] Sirius
    Thank you!
[12:21] Sirius
    I wonder what I should have next time...
[12:24] Thomas
    Sirius.
[12:28] Thomas
    I'm counting on you.
[12:32] Sirius
    Yes, sir!
[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.
[16:19] Adelheid
    Thank you.

    Welcome, Wilhelm-san.
[16:58] (Flashback) Granddad
    Oh? Are you with him, too, little lady?
[17:04] (Flashback) Granddad
    Hey. Can you whip up one of those?
[17:06] (Flashback) Granddad
    You worked part-time at a café
    when you were in university, right?

    I'm not good with that sort of thing myself.

    What? I don't know what
    "one of those" means—

    Ah. All right, I see what you mean now.

    Here's your "clouds"—ahem...

    Your chocolate parfait.
SIGN    Chocolate Parfait
[18:46] Adelheid
    Why, it looks more like a
    colorful piece of art than food.
[18:53] Aletta
    Take your time and enjoy.
[18:58] Adelheid
    I suppose I should try it now.
[19:04] Adelheid
    It's sweet, but not too sweet.

    This fruit's sweet-and-sour
    taste is exquisite, too.

    Just how many flavors does it have?

    It's so cold!

    It's a winter cloud with plenty of snow on top.
[19:31] (Flashback) Wilhelm
    Cold and delicious, isn't it?
[19:33] (Flashback) Adelheid
    Yes!
[19:40] Adelheid
    Sweet and bitter. This is the
    taste of chocolate, isn't it?
[19:51] Master
    You look like you feel better.
[19:55] Master
    That's great.

    Please do.

    Ah, right.

    I think my granddad told me about him.

    He built up a puny little

    He was the Great First Emperor,

    Huh?
