[insects trilling]
Rise.
- Make haste. - [Mukohda snores]
[FEL] The sun is already up.
[snoring continues]
[FEL] Fool!
- It is time to start the day! - [Mukohda grunts]
Hey! Not cool!
[FEL] You ask me to wake you, and this is my thanks.
Huh?
[MUKOHDA] Tomorrow, they're finally hosting
their famous morning market!
[DORA] Let's shop until we drop.
[SUI] Sui wants to go!
[MUKOHDA] I'll try to wake up early.
If someone wants to make sure I'm ready for action,
- that'd be great. - [Fel grunts]
Right! It's market time!
[♪ opening theme song playing]
[exclaims]
[MUKOHDA] Wow, it's so lively!
The street is bustling!
It's completely different from when we saw it last.
Everything here is raw.
I was hoping for a bit more flavor.
Hm?
[sniffs]
Something over there smells delicious!
Huh?
But we just got here. Let's look around for a bit.
[female vendor laughs]
Your familiar is smelling the food stalls up ahead.
You should take a look!
We sure will, thank you, ma'am!
[indistinct chatter]
♪
[Fel exclaims]
Ooh! [laughs, exclaims]
- [SUI] Food! - [DORA] Huh? Let's eat!
So, that's what you'll wake up for.
Looks tasty.
I'd like to buy enough to fill this plate
all the way to the brim.
Sure thing!
Hey, it's you!
You're the reason that my grill is so full!
Thank you again for getting that kraken out of our waters.
We fishermen and fishmongers are very grateful.
- [MUKOHDA] Hm... - [Fel scoffs]
You took care of us,
so it's only right that we take care of you.
I'll make you a deal.
I'll give you all of it for just three copper.
[MUKOHDA] Whoa! So cheap!
[all exclaiming]
Looks great.
Let's eat it while it's hot!
Yum!
The flesh is plump and perfectly fatty.
And the saltiness is spot on!
[DORA] I'm used to land meat, but fish is good, too!
[SUI] The skin is so crispy and crunchy!
His grilling technique is all right,
but he should increase the serving size.
Smaller servings mean
you can try more food from different stalls.
Next, we'll go there!
[indistinct chatter]
Mmm... Wow! What kind of soup is this?
It's giant rock clam, of course.
- Take a look! - [MUKOHDA] They're massive!
If they're this delicious in a soup,
then I want to try one fresh off the grill!
No matter how you prepare them,
giant rock clams are famous for their flavor!
If you like them, then stock up!
Right. In that case,
I'd like to buy one crate, please.
[FEMALE VENDOR] Sure thing!
[MUKOHDA] She's got some business skills!
[MUKOHDA] Huh?
This shellfish.
Those? They're ooysters.
[MUKOHDA] Their version of oysters.
I'd like to squeeze some lemon on that puppy
and slurp it right down!
Nothing beats eating them raw!
- [FEMALE VENDOR] Are you crazy? - Huh?
You would be taking your life into your hands, sir.
Oh. Is there a chance of food poisoning?
There's a 100% chance
your insides will be torn to shreds by fish worms!
[MUKOHDA] That's a little beyond food poisoning, huh?
You can't eat fish raw either!
Thoroughly cook everything you buy.
I'll be careful.
Sounds like sashimi is out of the question.
Well, let's keep looking around and see what else we can find!
♪
[MALE VENDOR 1] Take this with you, too!
[FEMALE VENDOR] And one of these!
[MALE VENDOR 2] It's on the house!
- [FEL] Mmm... - We ended up
with way more freebies than we did purchases.
[FEL] Mm-hm.
[bird squawking]
[MUKOHDA] That was a giant breakfast.
I guess it tired the rest of the gang out.
[all snoring]
[MUKOHDA] Days off are the best.
I should prepare something for a late lunch.
Maybe we're beyond that.
For an early dinner?
We have a mountain of seafood.
[FEL] Hm?
And I know a fun way to get through it!
First you need to light a fire.
A barbecue?
Not today.
I'm gonna make something new.
The next step is to find a fresh cabbet,
and roughly chop it up!
Some folks prefer to julienne it,
but I like this method.
Leaves again? You know I want meat.
Don't be like that.
I promise it'll be great.
Hm.
- [SUI] What's that stuff? - Hm?
Well, you remember what flour is, right?
This was flour once,
but it's been kneaded and seasoned.
Nothing but leaves and flour?
Don't toy with me, human. Prepare some meat!
Hold all opinions until it's done!
It's okay if the mixture has a couple of lumps.
Add the cabbet and mix until it's lightly coated and fluffy.
Looking good.
Now we can use our find from the market!
They'll add a nice note of umami!
- [FEL] Mmm. - [DORA] Hm?
Looks like a sticky mess.
Because it's not finished yet.
Master Ale did good.
The griddle top he made looks awesome.
Let's see how it cooks!
Spread the oil into a thin layer and pour out the dough.
Shape it and let it cook.
Oh, yeah. Gotta cook the noodles.
♪
[FEL] Mmm.
[MUKOHDA] Once it's almost cooked through,
place the noodles on top!
Today, we're using kraken and vermillion shrimp!
I added them last so they wouldn't get too tough.
Keep an eye on the bottom
to make sure everything is browning up nicely.
- [Mukohda grunts] - [all exclaiming]
- That's perfect! - [Fel sniffs]
[DORA] Can we eat it now?
Not yet.
There's one final step.
We gotta seal the deal with some super sauce!
[sizzling]
[SUI] Smells yummy,
- get in Sui's tummy! - [Mukohda chuckles]
[MUKOHDA] I always like mine with lots of mayonnaise!
The finishing touches: a hearty helping of seaweed,
and a sprinkling of bonito flakes.
- [SUI] Magic flutters! - [Fel and Dora exclaim]
And voila!
Squid, shrimp, and egg.
I mean, kraken and vermillion shrimp and egg okonomiyaki!
[SUI] It's so fluffy and crispy at the same time.
The kraken bites are so tender!
[DORA] The shrimp is delicious, too!
But the smell of this green powder
and the fancy flakes steal the show!
The sauce is rich,
but when you eat it all together,
it's refreshing!
[FEL] You fool!
Why are they eating and I'm not?
I'm frying up an ooyster and egg one for you.
Oh! Can't you fry them any faster?
Be patient. A perfectly cooked oyster
is one of the most delicious treats you can eat!
[DORA] Hey, do that cool thing again!
What cool thing?
[DORA] You scooped it right up and flipped it in the air!
You've gotta teach me that move.
[SUI] Teach Sui, too!
If you want.
You jest!
[MUKOHDA] Listen up,
you need to get the whole spatula under there.
- Do it in one fluid motion. - [Dora exclaims]
[SUI AND DORA] Yah!
[both exclaim]
Why?!
[SUI] Uh...
[DORA] Well, we screwed that up.
I shall miss you, okonomiyaki.
It's not a big deal.
Okonomiyaki is pretty easy to fix.
You will be the only one to wield the spatulas
- from now on! - You got it.
[all exclaiming]
[MUKOHDA] It's done!
Ooyster and egg okonomiyaki!
Well, it's about time.
Mmm... The umami of the ooyster
and the earthy fragrance of the leaves
balance quite nicely!
[DORA] I wanna try that kind, too!
[SUI] Sui is still hungry for delicious fishies!
[FEL] Cook us more!
Can do.
I bet the giant rock clams would go well
with our current seafood mix.
And I'll throw in that leftover thinly sliced orc meat!
[DORA] Now you're talking!
- [FEL] What a splendid idea! - [SUI] Sui wants to try!
- [FEL] Be quick about it! - [DORA] Woo-hoo!
Ah, that meal was satisfying.
Carbs fuel the body and soul.
[SUI] Master!
[DORA] We're gonna go work off those noodles!
[MUKOHDA] Uh?
If you don't mind, you should take the magic bag with you.
You wish for us to bring home our prey again?
- [DORA] Yahoo! - [SUI] Yay!
Now don't stay out for too long you crazy kids!
[MARX] You've got a wild crew, captain.
[MUKOHDA] Marx?
[MARX] This arrived at the Merchant's Guild
just a little while ago.
It's addressed to you.
It's Lambert!
[LAMBERT] Dear Mukohda,
the soap and shampoo that you sold us
have been immensely popular in the shop!
Even with our new three-items-per-customer rule,
we're running painfully low on stock.
I am hoping to replenish our supply
as soon as humanly possible!
Oh, and that dashing cape you requested
is almost done!
[MUKOHDA] Soap and shampoo.
Popular among humans and goddesses alike.
I'd love to help Lambert bolster his stock.
And the cape.
It's a good item to have.
I'd like to go pick it up sometime soon.
- [Mukohda exclaims, chuckles] - [Marx sighs]
What is it, Marx?
Is something wrong?
[MARX] Hmm.
We'll see.
Where exactly did your fierce familiars run off to?
Uh... they're on a little walk.
[MARX] Right.
Well, we've got a boatload of work to get through.
I should head back.
Something's up.
Did another kraken appear?
If that's the case,
I don't see why he would keep it a secret.
I'm always at my most powerful
after a hearty and delicious meal.
[DORA] Let's go after something big!
[SUI] Yeah!
[whooshes]
[FEL] Hm?
[ALL] That will do!
[MUKOHDA] Hmm.
- [door opens] - [whooping, laughter]
[DORA] That was such a blast!
[SUI] Master.
[DORA] You look a little down, boss.
Something on your mind?
Eh, sorta.
Have a successful walk?
We did indeed.
[SUI] Sui went pew-pew all over the place!
[DORA] Yeah, and then I was like, sha-boom!
I haven't seen you two this riled up in a minute.
What did you guys hunt this time?
Come see.
It is quite the trophy.
[MUKOHDA] It's...
a...
[shouts] dragon?
Are you surprised?
That's the understatement of the century!
This isn't our first.
It's a red dragon,
and it's been a while since I came across such a worthy foe.
My only regret is that
I did not get to fight it on my own.
[SUI] Sui wanted to take it one on one, too!
[DORA] You're getting too big for your britches.
This thing is massive.
What do I do with it?
That dragon is young and small for its species.
I imagine its meat is still very tender and quite yummy.
[MUKOHDA] So, you want to eat it?
Yes!
[SUI] Sui can't wait!
[DORA] That crusty earth dragon
was pretty dang tasty,
so I'm extra excited to sample this baby!
This thing will be a beast to process.
[laughing]
You promised me!
[MUKOHDA] We'll have to take a trip back to Dolan.
To see that oddball elf?
[Mukohda groans]
[MUKOHDA] You need specialized equipment
and serious skill to process a dragon.
And he'd flip his lid if he found out we asked
someone else to do it.
Before we meet up with Lambert in Karelina
we should get this dragon situation squared away.
[Mukohda groans]
Bur first, I need to majorly cool down.
Get in there.
[Mukohda groans]
Look!
♪
[DORA] What's that?
[SUI] Pretty colors!
[Mukohda chuckles]
Hey, think you can turn this lever for me?
[SUI] Are Master and Sui gonna grind more meat?
[MUKOHDA] Not quite.
We're shaving ice to make a tasty, sweet treat!
[DORA] Want me to melt it for you?
I want ice, not water, but thanks.
Awesome, Sui! You're already a pro!
[SUI] Master, Sui made the ice all fluffy.
[MUKOHDA] To top it off, we have a strawberry, a melon, a lemon,
and a Blue Hawaii syrup!
Or you could go for some condensed milk!
[SUI] So many. Sui wants the white one.
This feels like a lot of hullabaloo
over some frozen, finely shaved water.
What is the point?
[laughs] Frozen, shaved water is the perfect treat
on a sunny day!
One milky bowl for Sui.
This delicacy is called shaved ice.
[SUI] Sui's never had shaved ice!
[slurping]
It's so cold and sweet and yummy!
[DORA] For real?
Then give me some, too! I want the blue kind!
[MUKOHDA] Here. One Blue Hawaii.
[Dora exclaims]
[DORA] So cold!
And now my forehead hurts!
[MUKOHDA] Huh?
So, pixie dragons get brain freezes, too?
You said the red one was strawberry, correct?
I suppose I'll sample that flavor.
You do love strawberry shortcakes,
after all.
Here you go.
[FEL] Mmm...
Mmm! It's a different sort of strawberry
than I'm used to, but it's tasty nonetheless!
[Fel groans]
Oops, looks like somebody ate too much too quick.
[FEL] Never have I felt such pain before.
So, the goddess' blessing doesn't help?
Sorry about that Fel.
Guess shaved ice is stronger than the dragon!
- Least for you. - [Fel groans]
That stupid dragon.
[Dora exclaims]
[indistinct chatter]
[MUKOHDA] Uh...
Looks like something's going on.
- Hey, Marx. - [MARX] Hm?
What's happening here?
Well, matey.
[ADVENTURER 1] They might be able to help.
[ADVENTURER 2] We can't defeat it on our own.
[ADVENTURER 1] Let's just ask them.
[MUKOHDA] Why do I feel like I've been here before?
It's bad news.
As soon as one monster is slain, another takes its place.
We got word of a new beast in the mountains nearby.
[FEL] Hmm...
[Mukohda grunts]
[MUKOHDA] If it's okay, Marx,
I'd like to talk privately.
[door closes]
[Mukohda grunts]
[MARX] Cut to the chase, boy.
[MUKOHDA] Okay, but please brace yourself.
I, uh. Well...
I think I've got your beast.
[screams]
[Marx exclaims]
[MUKOHDA] Uh... are you okay?
Talk to me, Marx.
You saved us!
I was about to ask for your help,
but it looks like you already took matters
into your own hands.
With you around, we've got no problems to solve.
I can't believe you scallywags hunted down a red dragon.
We didn't really hunt it down.
It just picked a bad spot to fly.
Leviathans are the strongest beasts at sea.
And from what I'm told,
red dragons are the strongest beasts
that fly the sky.
If it were the strongest,
it would've put up more of a fight.
Well...
- I suppose I did have some help. - [Dora laughs]
Remind me not to tussle with the likes of you three.
Come to think of it Mukohda,
are you still an A-rank adventurer?
Huh? Yeah, I guess that's right.
Really?
Don't you deserve a spot in S-rank?
What? Thanks, but I can promise you
I had nothing to do with this!
Fel and the others beat that thing
while I sat on my butt at home!
[MARX] Impressive.
Then I reckon you should be S-rank
for having such a strong hold on your mighty familiars.
Hey, I only showed you this
so you don't have to worry about the dragon.
I really don't want it to become some big ordeal.
[MARX] Screw your head on, sailor!
Your crew took down that beast in no time flat!
That's important information,
and it'd be a crime to sit on it!
What do you think
the Adventurer's Guild is for, matey?
I see what you mean.
I'm sorry that I took so long.
If you've been thinking about any requests,
just lay 'em on me.
Well, it's about time!
I want cake and I want it now!
I've done a little research, and I'd like to try a hair pack.
I haven't stopped thinking
about the craft beer you gave us,
so I want something in the same vein.
Our six-silver budget is too small
to fulfill my desires.
I've heard the pricier the booze, the better.
We'll stockpile one coin every time you drop in.
And once we've got enough, you buy us the good stuff.
Who knew that gods could benefit from a savings account?
Hey, do you want anything, Ruka?
Okonomiyaki.
- [Ninrir gasps] - [Kisharle gasps]
[Agni gasps]
[both gasp]
I was a tinge jealous watching your feast.
That savory sensation...
Though, cake still has my heart, I wish to try!
Okonomiyaki looks great.
And I bet it pairs well with booze!
Good idea!
Put three silver toward booze and two silver toward dinner!
Wise!
I would like the same thing!
Are you serious?
It's a lot of work to cook for six people.
I can send up all the ingredients that you need,
but you've gotta make them yourselves.
[NINRIR] We don't want any okonomiyaki,
we want your okonomiyaki!
- [overlapping chatter] - [sighs]
I want yours.
[Mukohda exclaims]
♪
Please accept these offerings.
That was super exhausting.
At least those guys are off my back.
That's why it's always best to knock out chores
as soon as they crop up.
By that logic, we should get the red dragon processed soon.
Rumors will spread eventually whether I like it or not.
After that, I need to take care of my business with Lambert.
