[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
    and our work for the day began.
SIGN    Sandwiches
[06:19] Aletta
    Welcome!
[06:22] Sarah
    I'll have the usual. Minced meat cutlets.
[06:24] Aletta
    Okay. Coming right up.
[06:28] Sarah
    By the way, did you find
    a job on the other side?
[06:32] Aletta
    No, not yet.
[06:34] Aletta
    The most I've found are
    odd jobs that last a day.
[06:37] Sarah
    I see... But that's not bad.
[06:41] Sarah
    You work here every Day of Satur,
    so you're managing to get by, right?
[06:45] Aletta
    Yes, I'm managing.
[06:50] Aletta
    Welcome!
[06:54] Artorius
    I'll have the usual.
[06:57] Aletta
    Yes, sir.
[06:59] Aletta
    That's a pork loin cutlet and a
    draft beer, right? Coming right up.
[07:02] Sarah
    Hey! Make sure to put
    my order in first, okay?
[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.
