I am ever in your debt, my good BLADE.[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev050506_MSG0002 |
I have been eagerly awaiting your promised return.[ST:n ]Have you the ingredients?[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev050506_MSG0003 |
Hmm... I see meat and various vegetables.[ST:n ]These at least are familiar to me.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev050506_MSG0004 |
I should hope so. Though I'm guessing you probably[ST:n ]just throw them into the fire, burn 'em to hell,[ST:n ]and then eat the crispy remains, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev050506_MSG0005 |
Which means you're going to need some lessons in[ST:n ]basic food preparation.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev050506_MSG0006 |
I shall be your most eager of students![ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev050506_MSG0007 |
Well, I'm already in this thing up to my eyeballs—[ST:n ]may as well see it through. Let's head into the kitchen.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev050506_MSG0008 |
...Well, it LOOKS like curry, anyway.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev050506_MSG0009 |
I walked him through the process start to finish,[ST:n ]but didn't touch the food at all.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev050506_MSG0010 |
Which means this curry is completely the creation of[ST:n ]Chef Ni Zain.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev050506_MSG0011 |
I'll admit I was surprised at how quickly he took to it.[ST:n ]...And less surprising, he handles a knife like a pro.[ST:n ]It could be that he's a natural-born chef.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev050506_MSG0012 |
...Sheff? What is this sheff? Is it an honorific title given[ST:n ]to those tasked with preparing meals?[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev050506_MSG0013 |
Er, yes, basically. It's what we call people who use[ST:n ]food to make people happy.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev050506_MSG0014 |
A natural-born sheff...[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev050506_MSG0015 |
Yeah, well, we should probably have a taste-test before[ST:n ]I start handing out stars to your theoretical restaurant.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev050506_MSG0016 |
Traditionally, it's the chef who gets to do the honors.[ST:n ]You made it, you try it.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev050506_MSG0017 |
This is a customary reward?[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev050506_MSG0018 |
Er, not a reward so much as a chance for you to[ST:n ]decide if your food is worthy of feeding to others.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev050506_MSG0019 |
Ah. It seems fitting that I bear that responsibility.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev050506_MSG0020 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev050506_MSG0021 |
......[ST:n ]......[ST:n ]......[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev050506_MSG0022 |
This...[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev050506_MSG0023 |
Well? How's it taste?[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev050506_MSG0024 |
The immediate thrill when it touches the tongue...[ST:n ]The burning warmth as it passes down the throat...[ST:n ]The sense of satiety it brings upon reaching the gut...[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev050506_MSG0025 |
And above all, the spicy flavor that strikes the palate[ST:n ]with the force of a punch! Exhilarating! Shocking![ST:n ]My heart dances, madam![ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev050506_MSG0026 |
What manner of divine food is this?![ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev050506_MSG0027 |
Um, curry? I thought we...covered that part.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev050506_MSG0028 |
I am truly experiencing \"delicious\" for the first time...[ST:n ]This is the greatest pleasure I have known![ST:n ]My mouth SCREAMS with delight![ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev050506_MSG0029 |
Um...okay? Let's not go overboard here.[ST:n ]It can't be THAT good.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev050506_MSG0030 |
Here. Gimme. You're too crazy to have a rational[ST:n ]opinion...[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev050506_MSG0031 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev050506_MSG0032 |
......[ST:n ]......[ST:n ]......[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev050506_MSG0033 |
Holy snot. It IS really good![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev050506_MSG0034 |
Actually... Wow, I can't believe this, but I don't think[ST:n ]I've ever tasted a curry this delicious.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev050506_MSG0035 |
Thanks to your tutelage, madam, I have glimpsed the[ST:n ]first hint of the secrets of cooking.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev050506_MSG0036 |
My sword never rivaled that of His Highness...[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev050506_MSG0037 |
But my curry will lose to no Wrothian![ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev050506_MSG0038 |
I feel I am finally able to stand as the prince's equal.[ST:n ]I have found a path that I can walk without shame.[ST:n ]A self in which I can take pride.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev050506_MSG0039 |
I am in your debt, most beautiful and wise madam![ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev050506_MSG0040 |
I swear unto you that I will never forget this moment,[ST:n ]not my sense of gratitude and wonder.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev050506_MSG0041 |
I will let these feelings drive me down the honorable[ST:n ]path of the sheff![ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev050506_MSG0042 |
Heh. One batch of curry and you've hit enlightenment.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev050506_MSG0043 |
And you, good BLADE! From my blade to the recipes[ST:n ]to the ingredients, you have done me one kind service[ST:n ]after the next.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev050506_MSG0044 |
I ask that you watch as I hone my skill as a sheff.[ST:n ]The day I perfect my craft is the day you shall feast[ST:n ]like a [ST:Gender p1=king p2=queen ]![ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev050506_MSG0045 |
I thank you from the core of my being![ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev050506_MSG0046 |
Ah, I only just remembered—I expect you initially came[ST:n ]looking for me at the behest of someone from the[ST:n ]Mimeosome Maintenance Center, correct?[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev050506_MSG0047 |
Well, as you have seen, I now burn with newfound[ST:n ]purpose. I fear I cannot go back there now.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev050506_MSG0048 |
I will explain that to the workers there myself, however.[ST:n ]You need only accept this humble token of my thanks.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev050506_MSG0049 |
You honor me by taking it.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev050506_MSG0050 |
\"Cu-rry.\" Even the sound of it has an exotic flavor.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev050506_MSG0051 |
Despite hearing it described, I cannot quite imagine it.[ST:n ]Spices in general are foreign to the Wrothian palate.[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev050506_MSG0052 |
I do not even know what a \"spice\" looks like.[ST:n ]It is a mystery...[ST:wait ] |
