00:14Okay, on to the next.
00:32Master, the restaurant's clean and ready.
00:34Do you have any other chores for me you can think of?
00:37Maybe one or two if you have time to spare, Aleta.
00:41Wait, that scent.
00:42I recognize it.
00:45Corn potash!
00:47Oh, wow.
00:48It smells so good.
00:50A friend gave me a bunch of corn, so I thought I'd use it for potash.
00:53We'll be serving this instead of the miso soup today.
00:58Sounds like a great idea to me.
01:00I'm finished.
01:03And in record time.
01:05Great work, Kuro.
01:06Her telepathy definitely takes some getting used to.
01:17Chicken curry.
01:19I'm so glad.
01:21That is a signature dish here.
01:23Well, you ladies ready to open?
01:26Yes!
01:27Yes.
01:35I'm so glad.
01:36Come.
01:37Come.
03:53Oh, so guess that means you're leaving it?
03:55Who needs others when you're fine on your own?
03:58If it isn't Renesia and Alicia.
04:01Well, at least you two can sympathize with me.
04:05Really?
04:06Hilda the Nightstrider is hunting goblins for that pay?
04:09Seems like more effort than it's worth.
04:11Feels wrong calling this a reward.
04:15I'll bet this job will turn out to be more fruitful than you think.
04:18Hmm.
04:33Whoa!
04:58Didn't know we'd have a full-on party.
05:07It's all downhill now that I've found their nest.
05:09Should have this taken care of by tomorrow.
05:34Pretty sure that was all of them.
05:36I think reporting back to the village can wait till after nightfall.
05:39I should use the daylight to find their treasure stash.
05:43I hope it's better than that pile of junk I got from the last horde of goblins I wiped out.
05:48The pay isn't that great, but the bonus could actually make this job worth it.
06:01And what do we have here?
06:08A door that leads nowhere?
06:23Oh, hello there.
06:39Gondotage with the eggs.
06:42Where in the world am I?
06:45Is something the matter?
06:48Those horns! You're a demon!
06:51Oh, I am...
06:53Sorry if I offended you. It's not a bad thing.
06:58I'm a demon too. Go by the name Hilda.
07:03Well then, Hilda, we're so happy you found your way in. I'm Oletta.
07:08Sorry, but I guess I'm a little lost because it feels like I stumbled into a tavern or pub of
07:13some kind.
07:13This place is the Western Restaurant Nikoya.
07:16It's in a completely different world from the one you and I live in.
07:20Master says it opens once every seven days. Or on the Day of Saturn to be specific.
07:26Our patrons call it the Restaurant to Another World. Pretty neat stuff, huh?
07:31Another World? Day of Saturn?
07:34Hard to believe, but there are a number of things around here I've never seen before.
07:40Anyway, if it's a restaurant, you must serve food. Since I'm here, I might as well try some.
07:46Our food is top of the line, so I think you'll be happy you made that call.
07:50Can you read the Eastern Continent's language?
07:52Sure can.
07:53Then please take a look at our menu.
07:56I'll be back with your complimentary hand towel and a glass of water.
08:07Wow, quite a variety to choose from. Certainly wasn't expecting to see croquettes and fries.
08:14No, they even have dessert here?
08:17And so affordable.
08:18In the capital, this would cost a gold coin or two, but they're only charging a few coppers.
08:24Ordering something with a drink is an even better deal.
08:28Though I think my first priority should probably be sating my stomach.
08:33Cheesecake?
08:35A baked sweet treat made with the creamiest cheese?
08:38I love cheese, but I've never heard of having it as a dessert.
08:42Thank you for your patience. A water and damp towel, as promised.
08:46Aletta?
08:47That's me.
08:48I'd like the souffle cheesecake, please. Along with the so-called black tea.
08:52Great. I'll put that right in.
08:58Pork cutlet rice bowl! Hey, how'd you know?
09:04All of the customers seem to like their meals well enough. Maybe I will, too.
09:10More teriyaki chicken, please.
09:12I'd appreciate another cup of seishu as well.
09:15And another draft beer, if you'd be so kind.
09:18Are they swordsmen?
09:20You sure don't let age slow you down.
09:21Isn't that the samurai master, Tatsugoro?
09:24And right next to him, is that the great sage, Artorias?
09:29The legendary mercenary the bards write countless songs about,
09:32and the world's most celebrated sage are eating, drinking,
09:35and being married together at the same table?
09:40Here you go.
09:41Here you go. A nice slice of souffle cheesecake.
09:43And hot black tea to wash it down.
09:46The blue jar to your left has sugar. Feel free to use as much as you'd like.
09:51Seriously? There's no limit to the amount of sugar I can put in my tea?
09:54That's right. Help yourself and enjoy.
10:02It's sugar, all right.
10:04Why is it white?
10:05I thought sugar is typically brown.
10:14That's good. It's undeniably tart and bitter, but the sugar mellows it out in a very satisfying way.
10:20It's soaking into every fiber of my tired body and rejuvenating it.
10:26And now, for the main event.
10:35It has some of the same sour quality of cheese, but it's delightfully sweet.
10:41And this texture. It's so soft and creamy that it just melts in my mouth.
10:46The taste lingers on my tongue after each bite, really giving me a chance to savor it.
10:52I can't get enough of this.
10:56This purple sauce is exquisite, too.
11:00I wonder if it's berries boiled with sugar.
11:05Just when I thought it couldn't taste any better, it does!
11:08The tart and sugary berry sauce is a phenomenal match for the cheesecake.
11:13Raw fruit can't give you the same refined sweetness as the syrupy goodness,
11:17and when you mix it with the sour flavors, it creates a perfect harmony that's making my taste buds sing!
11:28Not to mention how wonderfully it pairs with the black tea!
11:33They charge too little for such perfection.
11:35Not only is it a steal compared to the capital's desserts, it's downright delicious!
11:40Aletta?
11:41Yes?
11:43Whenever you get a minute, I'd like one more souffle cheesecake, please!
11:46No!
11:47Make it three more!
11:49Oh, and a refill on the tea!
11:51Of course!
11:52I'll put that in and be back with your refill!
12:03Thank you!
12:04Thank you very much!
12:13I figured I'd just make some pocket change, but I stumbled upon an amazing treasure!
12:20Maybe I'll tell them about it one day.
12:23Always a plus to have someone owe you a favor, after all.
12:30Thanks, and please come again!
12:34Well, it's getting late.
12:36What do you say I make us some dinner?
12:38Just give me a few minutes to whip something up.
12:40Sure!
12:41If you insist.
12:47Here you go.
12:50Ah, smells divine!
12:52But, uh, what exactly do you call this dish?
12:55It's fried rice.
12:56Back in high school, I worked part-time at a Chinese place and picked up this recipe.
13:00That's about the time I started devoting myself to-
13:03Wait, what's high school, and what's Chinese?
13:05Oh, you could forget I ever said that.
13:07I'll be right back with some soup.
13:09Oh, yum!
13:11My mouth's watering already!
13:13I hope it's the corn potage we've been serving all day!
13:16With that lovely yellow color and slightly sweet, milky flavor!
13:20It's warming my belly just thinking about it!
13:23Ta-da!
13:24Chinese soup.
13:25Why did I dare to dream?
13:27What's wrong?
13:28Ah, nothing at all!
13:30God of demons is great.
13:32God of demons is good.
13:33Let us thank him for this food and his blessings on my plate.
13:36In his name I pray.
13:39Thank you for the food.
14:03Thank you for the food.
14:11Thanks, glad you like it.
14:12I don't think I've ever had this kind of seasoning before.
14:16You called it Chinese earlier, right?
14:18Wanna try a spoonful, Kuro?
14:20It's yummy!
14:24It does have a similar look to the rice used in chicken curry.
14:28And Aletta appears to be quite pleased with it.
14:31Almost as pleased as I am with my meal.
14:34So perhaps...
14:36Master, do fried rice and curry go together?
14:39I've never tried, so hard to say.
14:41It's gonna get cold.
14:48I'll pass.
14:50But it's so good!
14:54This Chinese soup is good, too.
14:56Master, more chicken curry, please.
14:59Coming right up.
15:01Until the next day of Saturn, I bid you farewell.
15:04Perfect.
15:05Hope you have a good week, Kuro.
15:10I'd best be on my way, too.
15:14Hey, before you go, Aletta.
15:16Huh?
15:18Don't forget your minced meat cutlet sandwich.
15:21Oh!
15:22At least one of us remembered.
15:24And one more thing.
15:25Huh?
15:26What's that?
15:27The potage I made for today.
15:29Sorry it's just leftovers, but I hope you'll still enjoy it.
15:32Ah!
15:34Thank you so much, Master!
15:37Come to think of it, I haven't seen Sarah lately.
15:40Has she been busy?
15:42Yes.
15:43I'm unsure of all the details, though.
15:45What I do know is that apparently text containing hints about some sort of treasure were released,
15:50and she's been glued to her desk ever since.
15:52What really worries me is, she doesn't eat.
16:04Hey, I'm back!
16:18Can I come in?
16:32I don't understand a word of this.
16:58Sarah's been so kind and generous all this time.
17:00I wish there was something I could do for her to show my appreciation.
17:06Maybe I could give her a massage.
17:09Or brew a calming pot of tea.
17:11That's stuff I always do, though.
17:15I know!
17:16I could give her encouragement as she works!
17:21And be the biggest pain in her neck.
17:27I've got it!
17:38I've got it!
17:41Huh?
17:42It's morning.
17:45Oh, guess I was already asleep by the time Aletta got home from work last night.
17:53Speaking of restaurants, I'm hungry.
17:56Then again, who wouldn't be hungry if they hadn't eaten anything besides stale rye bread and dry cheese the day
18:02before?
18:03Huh?
18:05What could possibly smell so sweet?
18:13Good morning, Sarah. Hope you slept well.
18:15Thanks. Same to you.
18:16I'm sure your tummy's rumbly, but if you can hold out a bit longer, breakfast will be ready soon.
18:21Sounds good to me.
18:22I am curious about what you're cooking, though.
18:25It's something special Master sent me home with last night.
18:28Special, huh? I can't wait to try it.
18:32By the way, how's your work going?
18:35It's going nowhere.
18:36But the most difficult jobs are often the most rewarding.
18:40So, do you at least know what the treasure is?
18:43No, but once I open it myself, I will. Hoping for anything specific?
18:48Me?
18:49A treasure I would want. Let's see.
18:52A hundred gold coins sounds good to me.
18:56Oh, but not that my current lifestyle leaves me wanting.
19:00I already have everything I need, so it's hard to think of something that would make life better.
19:04So what I'm hearing is I could make an enormous fortune by this job's end,
19:08but you'd be perfectly content if I continue to pay you the same amount as I am now?
19:12Well, uh, on second thought...
19:15I'm just kidding.
19:21God of Demons is great. God of Demons is good.
19:24Let us thank him for this food and his blessings on my plate.
19:27Now let's dig in.
19:28Oh yes, by all means.
19:33Toasting it over a flame really makes a huge difference.
19:36Though I tend not to do that when I'm eating by myself.
19:48The cheese is much better this way too.
19:54And now the soup.
19:56I'm guessing it's fairly sweet.
19:59I never cared for the sweets we have back home since they made my head and teeth hurt.
20:03So hopefully this is different.
20:09Yes, different in the best way possible.
20:12It has the sweetness of milk and vegetables mixed with a tang of fruit.
20:16But not our fruit, the kind from the other world.
20:18The more I taste it, the more I notice the saltiness behind the sweetness.
20:22And how the milk serves to mellow it and the orani makes it quite savory.
20:26The miso soup they typically serve is so refined and simple.
20:29But this has multiple complex layers of seasonings.
20:35You can soften even the driest breads with it.
20:39The soup gushes out with every bite.
20:41Making this average dry bread a feast fit for a queen.
20:48The soup gushes out with every bite.
21:15Are you sure?
21:17Positive.
21:18I owe you one, Sarah.
21:21While I'm thinking about it, did you buy the thing I asked for?
21:25Of course.
21:26I'll serve your mincemeat cutlet sandwich at lunchtime.
21:29It makes a great lunch.
21:31But it could also make a great breakfast.
21:34Won't you get a stomachache if you eat that much?
21:42Well, that's that.
21:43I'll be right back, so sit tight.
21:47Here you go.
21:48Second breakfast is served.
21:50Oh yeah, now that's the stuff.
21:52Tastiest meal ever.
21:55Those just made your day, huh?
21:57Food does that to me, too.
21:58Tastiest meal ever.
22:23I don't know.
22:41I don't know.
23:02I don't know.
23:35I don't know.
