Sous-Chef: Chef,
Sous-Chef: it was a human!
Chef: Quit wasting food or I'll kill you.

Sous-Chef: It was a human, not an insect!
Chef: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Mami: Um...
Chef: What?

Mami: I think Sous-Chef is saying you told him an insect had gotten inside...
Mami: but when he went to check on it, he found a human. And a high-level esper at that.
Sous-Chef: That's what I've been saying!
Chef: No, it isn't.

Chef: An esper, huh?

09

Chef: They must be pretty confident to board the ship like this.
Sous-Chef: He redirected my power!
Sous-Chef: And my power's the strongest!

Sous-Chef: Chef, are you listening?

SFX: Spin

Chef: Let's use the nectar just to be safe!

Sous-Chef: Chef!

10

Sous-Chef: What kind of sauce?
Sous-Chef: Oh, are we doing the Seton thing?

Chef: Little help?
Chef: Aperitif!

Mami: Oh...
Mami: Right!

Mami: I think he means using food.
Mami: As in, luring the intruder in using the nectar to get him on our side.
Sous-Chef: Right, right.
Chef: You're a huge help. You translate for him from now on.

Chef: And Sous-Chef.

SFX: Glare

Sous-Chef: Um, uh...

11

Sous-Chef: I think it's a microwave too.
Mami: Does that mean "convenient"?
Sous-Chef(outside): Right, right.
Chef: Oh, so you're just guessing too.
Chef: And why would we give nectar to the insect?

Chef: The nectar is a special drug.
Chef: With normal people, it simply affects their brain in a way that lets them experience some trippy stuff...

Chef: but it can be harmful or beneficial for espers.

Chef(outside): Eh heh heh
Chef: Which makes it the finest ingredient for us.

SFX: Gulp

12

Chef: Oh, right. Aperitif.

Chef: You're a part of Full Course now, and I believe I told you to get rid of the excess.

Mami: The...
Mami: excess?

SFX: Lean in
Chef: You have a twin sister.

13

Chef: When two fruits grow too close together...

Chef: you have to remove one or they'll damage each other and both rot.

Chef: I want you to grow big and ripe, Aperitif.

14

Chef: Now!
SFX: Shake shake
Chef: I want your help!

Chef: We need QUANTITY.
SFX: Shock
Chef: The quality doesn't matter.

SFX: Tears

Mami: U-um, you said you wouldn't harm the children once Hime was back.

15

Chef: Children?
Chef: We deal in ingredients!
Chef: Humans aren't ingredients!

Chef: And I keep my promises.
Chef: I won't harm any children!
Chef: I would never break a promise to someone as important as you!

Chef: But there are no children here.
