[01:32] Garde
    Can I ask you a question?
[01:35] Guilhem
    What?
[01:36] Garde
    Why are we climbin' this mountain?
[01:39] Guilhem
    We're on our way to eat, o' course.
[01:42] Guilhem
    The restaurant we're going to
    serves spirits and fish so tasty,
[01:46] Guilhem
    it's out of this world.
[01:49] Garde
    I'm asking why we're traipsing through
    the mountains to go eat fish!
[01:57] Garde
    You dunderhead!
[02:00] Guilhem
    Because the restaurant's this way.
[02:03] Guilhem
    We're almost there.
[02:06] Garde
    A restaurant in the middle of the
    mountains could never serve good fish.
[02:12] Guilhem
    This is it.
[02:17] Garde
    Guilhem... All I see is
    some rickety old shack.
[02:23] Guilhem
    That's right, and I put it up.
    'Scuse the ugliness.
[02:28] Garde
    Listen, Guilhem. I think of you as a friend.
[02:34] Garde
    But—
[02:37] Garde
    What's that door?
[02:39] Guilhem
    I told you, didn't I?
[02:41] Guilhem
    It's the door to a restaurant that
    serves good alcohol and fish.
[02:45] Guilhem
    The Restaurant to Another World.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[02:49] Kuro
    Welcome.
[02:51] Guilhem
    What the?
[02:55] Guilhem
    W-Wait, now.
[03:00] Guilhem
    Everyone else looks calm.
[03:03] Garde
    They do.
[03:04] Guilhem
    Is the master in the kitchen?
[03:06] Kuro
    Yes. Please take a seat.
[03:09] Kuro
    I'll bring your menus.
[03:11] Guilhem
    No need. I already know my order.
[03:15] Guilhem
    What's in the fried seafood today?
[03:18] Kuro
    Cod, squid rings, and scallops.
[03:20] Guilhem
    I see, I see! I'll take two,
    one for me and one for my friend here.
[03:25] Guilhem
    Plus two mugs of beer and a
    bottle of whiskey with rocks.
[03:30] Guilhem
    That'll be it for now.
[03:32] Kuro
    I'll put that in.
[03:34] Guilhem
    And make that a rush. We're knackered
    from climbing a mountain.
[03:39] Kuro
    Understood.
[03:41] Guilhem
    Now I can finally take a breather.
[03:43] Garde
    By the by, Guilhem.
    This "beer" and "whiskey" stuff...
[03:48] Garde
    Are they the tasty spirits you mentioned?
[03:51] Guilhem
    Aye.
[03:51] Garde
    Is it really so good that you, the best
    brewer among us dwarves, would praise it?
[03:56] Guilhem
    This restaurant has all kinds
    of spirits I've never seen before.
[04:01] Garde
    Really now?
[04:01] Guilhem
    And each and every one is so good,
    it'll knock you out of your boots.
[04:05] Garde
    What?! Is this true?!
[04:07] Guilhem
    It's true, my friend!
[04:08] Garde
    Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to this.
[04:10] Guilhem
    As am I!
[04:16] Kuro
    Two fried seafood platters, two mugs of beer,
[04:20] Kuro
    and a bottle of whiskey with rocks.
[04:23] Aletta
    Okay. Master, I'll pour the beer.
[04:27] Master
    All right. Thanks.
[04:29] Aletta
    At Nekoya, we fill a beer mug in three stages,
    with a 7:3 ratio of beer to foam.
[04:33] Aletta
    Please remember this, Kuro-san.
[04:36] Kuro
    Okay.
[04:37] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience!
    Here are your beers.
[04:40] Guilhem
    They're here, eh?
    We've been waiting for this.
[04:43] Garde
    Oho! So this is the ale of another world!
[04:48] Garde
    Well, doesn't that look pretty?
[04:52] Aletta
    It'll be a little longer on the rest of
    your order. Please relax and enjoy.
[05:01] Garde
    Ready?
[05:01] Guilhem
    Bottoms up!
[05:12] Garde
    This "beer" stuff is pretty good!
[05:16] Guilhem
    Ain't it? I can't get enough of that
    feeling as it goes down the throat.
[05:19] Guilhem
    Not only that, it's nice and cold.
[05:21] Guilhem
    I think this every time—I can't
    get enough of drinking beer cold.
[05:25] Garde
    Shall we have another mug, Guilhem?
[05:28] Guilhem
    That goes without saying!
[05:30] Garde
    Lass! Two more mugs of this "beer"!
[05:35] Guilhem
    And make 'em big!
[05:37] Aletta
    Oh, would you like the large mugs, then?
[05:40] Guilhem
    Anything'll do as long as it's big!
[05:41] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir. Coming right up!
[05:46] Garde
    These glass mugs are pretty nice.
[05:51] Garde
    You get a good view of the
    pretty color through them.
[05:55] Garde
    I'll have to try making one of these myself.
[05:59] Guilhem
    You specialize in elaborate pieces.
    Won't it bore you?
[06:05] Garde
    No, the clear beer itself
    is like a decoration.
[06:10] Garde
    Adding more to the design
    would detract from it.
[06:13] Guilhem
    I thought you'd say that.
[06:16] Garde
    Plus, making something this transparent,
[06:19] Garde
    and in such a uniform shape,
    takes more than time and effort.
[06:24] Garde
    It requires quite a lot of skill, as well.
[06:27] Guilhem
    I see. The words of a top glassmith.
[06:32] Aletta
    Thank you for your patience.
    Here are your large draft beers.
[06:37] Aletta
    I-I'm sorry.
[06:38] Guilhem
    It's no matter.
[06:41] Garde
    I didn't expect it to be this much bigger!
[06:45] Aletta
    Take your time and enjoy.
[06:56] Kuro
    Your meal is served.
[06:59] Kuro
    Here's your fried seafood.
SIGN    Fried Seafood
[07:05] Garde
    So this is the tasty seafood
    you like so much.
[07:09] Guilhem
    Aye.
[07:11] Garde
    It looks good, but if it's from
    a restaurant in the mountains...
[07:15] Guilhem
    Eat it before you judge it.
[07:16] Guilhem
    The leaf-shaped one is fish,
    then there's mollusk,
[07:21] Guilhem
    and some other sea creature called "squid."
    Don't know what it is.
[07:24] Garde
    I see... Well, if you say so.
[07:37] Garde
    Th-This is the taste of fish?!
[07:40] Guilhem
    Different from the salty fish
    we normally gulp down, ain't it?
[07:45] Garde
    This is tasty!
[07:46] Guilhem
    Told you so.
[07:48] Garde
    Delicious. Delicious!
[07:51] Garde
    Now this won't do. Another beer!
[07:54] Guilhem
    Make that two!
[07:55] Aletta
    Yes, coming right up.
[07:58] Garde
    Not yet. I haven't eaten enough yet.
[08:06] Garde
    What an incredible crunch.
[08:07] Garde
    And every bite oozes with flavor.
[08:10] Kuro
    Here you go.
[08:17] Garde
    Delicious!
[08:18] Garde
    Another beer!
[08:20] Kuro
    Understood.
[08:23] Garde
    Last is this "scallops" stuff...
[08:31] Garde
    This is tasty, too!
[08:35] Garde
    It's much more tender than that squid,
    and it has a unique crunch, too.
[08:39] Garde
    And this savory taste!
[08:41] Garde
    Dare I call it the taste of the sea itself?
[08:45] Guilhem
    This beer and fish is truly delicious.
[08:49] Garde
    No fair, Guilhem. Have you
    always been eating this?
[08:57] Guilhem
    The combination of this tartar sauce stuff
[09:00] Guilhem
    and fried fish is perfection.
[09:06] Garde
    G-Guilhem, what is that stuff?
[09:09] Guilhem
    This here is called tartar sauce.
[09:13] Guilhem
    It's the ultimate seasoning
    for fish. Can't do without it.
[09:18] Garde
    Why didn't you say so sooner?!
[09:22] Guilhem
    Apologies.
[09:24] Aletta
    Here's your whiskey—
[09:26] Garde
    You, lass! Three more plates
    of fried seafood, fast as ya can!
[09:31] Aletta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[09:32] Guilhem
    Ah, little miss. I'll have
    another three plates, too.
[09:36] Aletta
    U-Understood, sir.
[09:38] Guilhem
    The food's tasty here, but the
    portions are a bit small for a dwarf.
[09:44] Garde
    Yup. Let's eat and drink a lot today.
[09:48] Garde
    It's on me this time.
[09:50] Guilhem
    I knew you'd say that!
[09:53] Garde
    Now, let's drink.
[09:56] Garde
    This whiskey... This aroma...
[10:00] Garde
    It's similar to the spirits you make.
[10:03] Guilhem
    Is it, now? Well, let's drink up!
[10:14] Garde
    The alcohol of this other
    world is delicious. All of it.
[10:17] Garde
    Is this the garden of the gods?
[10:19] Guilhem
    Could be. Everything here is
    incomparable to what's in our world.
[10:25] Garde
    Could there be even more delicious
    alcohol and fish out there?
[10:29] Guilhem
    You bet!
[10:31] Guilhem
    That seishu stuff made from
    Western Continent rice is especially good!
[10:37] Guilhem
    The wine here is on another level, too.
[10:41] Guilhem
    There are plenty of delicious fish
    dishes that aren't fried, too.
[10:46] Guilhem
    I wish I could come here every day!
[10:49] Garde
    I'm with you there!
[11:03] Garde
    So it wasn't a dream.
[11:08] Garde
    I suppose I have to be grateful to him.
[11:13] Garde
    First, maybe I'll improve this
    shack a bit for next time.
[11:18] Master
    The stone cabin that sprung up
[11:21] Master
    in those mountains after this
    stuck out like a sore thumb.
[11:25] Master
    It became treasured as a
    rest stop for travelers
[11:27] Master
    and merchants visiting the dwarf town.
[11:31] Master
    Its dwarf caretakers made straw
    beds and left warm blankets,
[11:36] Master
    making them so comfortable that you
    can fall asleep right after getting in.
[11:42] Master
    But the cabin has one mystery.
[11:45] Master
    Installed in the back of the cabin is a
    steel door so thick and sturdy that even
[11:51] Master
    a strike from the best
    dwarven axe can't break it.
[11:54] Master
    Only the dwarves who built the
    cabin have a key to the door.
[11:59] Master
    They say that there's nothing on the other
    side, save for an extremely tiny room.
[12:09] Master
    Why did they put up a door worthy of a
    treasure vault in such a pointless place?
[12:17] Master
    Only the cabin's builders
    themselves know the answer.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[12:29] Aletta
    Thank you very much.
[12:38] Shareef narr
    She's so beautiful.
[12:44] Shareef narr
    My fair beauty... Will you answer my love?
[12:54] Old Man
    Come one, come all!
[12:56] Old Man
    I have freshly chilled sweet kaffa!
[13:02] Woman
    I'll take a cup.
[13:03] Man
    Me, too!
[13:03] Boy
    Mister, I want one, too!
[13:06] Girl
    It really is cold.
[13:10] Shareef narr
    Iced coffee has spread in a flash.
[13:18] Renner narr
    The southern part of the Western Continent—
[13:20] Renner narr
    In our country, the Land of Sand,
[13:23] Renner narr
    magic is much more common
    than in other lands.
[13:26] Renner narr
    Going purely by the vastness of land,
[13:29] Renner narr
    there is no bigger country
    than the Land of Sand
[13:32] Renner narr
    on either the Eastern or Western Continent.
[13:36] Renner narr
    However, the people of the Land of Sand
[13:38] Renner narr
    live only in the areas with plentiful water
[13:41] Renner narr
    near the ocean, rivers, or oases.
[13:43] Renner narr
    Because of that, the country
    isn't as powerful as it is large.
[13:48] Renner narr
    Magic's development here
    was likely inevitable
[13:52] Renner narr
    because of the nature of the area.
[13:55] Renner narr
    Enchanted water to remove the fatigue of
    the desert lizards that traverse the sands.
[14:01] Renner narr
    Boots with wide bottoms made of magic mesh
    to keep our feet from sinking in the sand.
[14:07] Renner narr
    And spells for fighting
    the monsters and undead.
SIGN    Land of Sand
SIGN    Empire
[14:11] Renner narr
    The Land of Sand desired these things from
    the magic that was the elves' legacy.
[14:15] Renner narr
    A problem demands a solution,
[14:17] Renner narr
    and thus our magicians number
    twice as many as in other countries.
[14:21] Renner narr
    Because of that, the very
    recently invented iced coffee
[14:25] Renner narr
    has spread explosively and become a
    new specialty of the Land of Sand.
[14:31] Renner narr
    The man behind iced coffee is
    our prince, and my big brother,
[14:37] Renner narr
    Shareef.
[14:41] Renner
    I think you're being too shy.
[14:44] Shareef
    I-I know that.
[14:47] Shareef
    But she is a princess of
    the Eastern Continent.
[14:50] Shareef
    Leaving her home and coming all the way
    to our land on the Western Continent
[14:54] Shareef
    would require much preparation.
[14:56] Shareef
    That is why I began by sending an envoy to
    the Empire to request an alliance and trade.
[15:02] Renner
    Not diplomatically. I mean personally.
[15:06] Shareef
    Personally?
[15:07] Renner
    It doesn't feel to me like you're
    trying to win her heart at all.
[15:13] Renner
    First, create ties between our nations,
[15:16] Renner
    and then wed a princess of their royal line
[15:19] Renner
    as proof that our alliance is true.
[15:22] Renner
    It's a sensible plan, and it isn't a bad deal
    for the Empire, either, if you think of it
[15:28] Renner
    as strengthening their
    ties with our royal line.
[15:31] Renner
    Whatever happens, until your
    fair beauty's illness is healed,
[15:35] Renner
    there'll be no talk of her marrying, anyway.
[15:39] Renner
    But I think you know that, unfortunately,
[15:42] Renner
    on the Western Continent we're nothing
    more than a prominent country,
SIGN    Land of Sea
SIGN    Duchy
SIGN    Land of Mountains
SIGN    Kingdom
SIGN    Empire
SIGN    Land of Sand
SIGN    Southern Continent
[15:47] Renner
    while the Empire is the most powerful
    player on the Eastern Continent.
[15:50] Renner
    The power difference is too great.
[15:53] Renner
    If your fair beauty objects, the Empire
    would probably prioritize her will.
[15:58] Renner
    I think that's all the more reason to
    approach her now, before she recovers.
[16:06] Shareef narr
    Renner, the one scolding me,
    is my younger sister,
[16:11] Shareef narr
    though from a different mother.
[16:16] Shareef narr
    Renner's mother was a low noble,
    yet her talent with magic was so great
[16:21] Shareef narr
    that she towered above those around her.
[16:24] Shareef narr
    Thus, she was allowed to come to the palace,
[16:27] Shareef narr
    won the king's heart,
[16:29] Shareef narr
    and birthed Renner.
[16:34] Shareef narr
    Then, as the court magician,
    she taught magic to both of us.
SIGN    Western Restaurant Nekoya
[16:47] Shareef narr
    As half-siblings who also
    studied under the same master,
[16:53] Shareef narr
    we had a good relationship.
[16:56] Shareef
    Shall we?
[16:58] Renner
    Quite. Afternoons in the desert are too hot.
[17:05] Aletta
    Welcome.
[17:07] Renner
    It's always cool in here.
[17:10] Master
    Welcome.
[17:11] Renner
    Good day. Thank you in advance.
[17:15] Renner
    Let's see, now...
[17:16] Renner
    There's an open spot there, Brother.
[17:20] Shareef
    R-Right. So there is...
[17:26] Aletta
    Welcome. Here are your menus and ice water.
[17:32] Renner
    Thank you.
[17:36] Aletta
    I'll come back when you're ready to order.
[17:53] Renner
    Looks like your fair beauty isn't here yet.
[17:57] Shareef
    Right... she isn't.
[18:10] Shareef
    Renner, are you ready to order?
[18:15] Renner narr
    Which float should I get today?
[18:19] Renner narr
    The carbonated drinks are...
    ginger ale, cola, orange, grape...
[18:25] Renner narr
    No, I should go with melon soda after all.
[18:30] Renner narr
    I'll have it with soft serve today.
[18:33] Renner
    I'm ready, Brother.
[18:35] Shareef
    All right.
[18:36] Shareef
    Excuse me! We're ready.
[18:39] Aletta
    Coming!
[18:40] Shareef
    I'll have a coffee float with ice cream.
[18:44] Shareef
    Make the kaffa sweet, please.
[18:46] Renner
    I'll have the melon soda and soft
    serve from the soda float menu.
[18:51] Aletta
    Got it. One moment, please.
[19:00] Aletta
    Here's your coffee float and melon soda float.
SIGN    Melon Soda Float
[19:09] Renner narr
    It's as beautiful as ever.
[19:11] Aletta
    Please take your time and enjoy.
[19:14] Renner narr
    My first taste has to be of the cream.
[19:25] Renner narr
    This "soft serve ice cream,"
    as they call it, remains excellent.
[19:29] Renner narr
    Next, the soda.
[19:36] Renner narr
    It's as delicious as always.
[19:42] Renner narr
    Brother dislikes the carbonation.
    He's missing out.
[19:47] Renner narr
    Kaffa's mix of sweetness and
    bitterness is more perturbing to me.
[19:57] Renner narr
    Now, then...
[19:59] Renner narr
    Time to really dig in.
[20:09] Renner narr
    Yes, this is the taste I want.
[20:11] Renner narr
    The smooth sweetness of soft serve and the
    exhilarating sweetness of melon soda...
[20:17] Renner narr
    The harmony they create is too good.
[20:20] Renner narr
    And last should be this.
[20:37] Renner narr
    The soda float experience is
    only complete after all three.
[20:43] Aletta
    Welcome.
[20:45] Adelheid
    Hello, Aletta-san.
[20:50] Adelheid
    Good day to you, Renner-san.
[20:53] Renner
    Good day to you, as well.
[20:55] Renner
    Come on, Brother.
[20:57] Shareef
    R-Right... ahem. I'm pleased you look well.
[21:04] Renner
    Won't you join us?
[21:06] Renner
    Tell us about the Empire.
[21:11] Adelheid
    All right. Pardon me.
[21:20] Adelheid
    I think I'll have to have the
    chocolate parfait again today.
[21:27] Renner
    I'll have a cola float.
[21:30] Renner
    Is that all right, Brother?
[21:33] Renner
    Brother?
[21:36] Shareef
    Y-Yes. Pick whatever you like.
[21:38] Shareef
    I feel chilled, so I'll
    have the Vienna coffee.
[21:45] Renner narr
    For crying out loud... If he could be even
    half as dignified as usual right now,
[21:49] Renner narr
    it would be all too easy
    for him to win her heart.
[21:55] Renner narr
    Well, I suppose being able
    to speak with her at all
[22:00] Renner narr
    is a big step forward.
