00:04Squid, just hearing the word made him tremble, Martin, the captain of the royal guard squad,
00:08usually visited the izakaya at night, but today, he came during the day, looking deeply troubled,
00:12and the culprit behind his misery, turned out to be Squid, normally, no matter what dish was
00:17placed in front of him, he would finish it without a complaint, but anything involving Squid,
00:21he simply couldn't take a single bite, there was a girl he liked very much, and her father
00:24made a living catching Squid, which meant their arranged date dinner, would definitely include
00:28Squid dishes, if he refused to eat them, it would be seen as disrespectful to her family,
00:33so the owner decided, he had to help Martin overcome his fear of Squid, that night, the izakaya

00:41like noodles, but was actually thin strips of Squid, Martin couldn't bring himself to touch

01:03grandfather had once been a sailor, on one voyage, they reached the edge of the world,
01:07where the sea wasn't blue, it was completely covered in white squid, the squid used their
01:11tentacles, to block the sailor's path, ever since hearing that story as a child, even the
01:15word squid sent shivers down his spine, the owner then brought out a normal squid, only the
01:19size of a hand, and a tiny silver squid beside it, everyone realized, Martin had been scared
01:23by a sailor's tall tail, squid were actually small and harmless, the owner prepared a fresh
01:27batch of squid fritters, and this time, Martin finally dared to try one, to his surprise,

01:36squid, the squid rings, and everything else, his arranged date also went extremely well,
01:40later, Martin's wife Mary packed him a lunchbox, when he opened it, there was only rice drenched
01:44in sauce, he felt a little disappointed, until he dug deeper, and uncovered a generous layer
01:49of tender grilled eel, the owner explained, that this dish was called steamed eel rice, and
01:53Mary had grilled every piece herself, in that moment, Martin finally understood the joy of
01:57marriage, to have someone who thinks of you so sincerely, was truly a blessing.
