Um...
Just repeat what I do, okay?
With thanks......
to all of the ingredients in this world,
itadakmasu.

Chin: Tack...
I'm glad you're all right at least.
Chiyo: But do my ears deceive me? "Soul transactions"...? [quote bold]
Is that true, Tack?
Tack: My tribe, the "Goro Tribe" would call upon 'spirits of food' since ancient times.
We are surviving "Gourmet Shamen". [quote white]
It is information I gleaned through talking with Food Spirits.
I am afraid there is no mistake, Chiyo-sensei.
Chin: In other words...
There are different souls
dwelling inside Warden Love and Lala right now...?
I saw those strange masks they were wearing, but never for a second did I think...

Page 13:
Tack: There is no light in the world of souls...
It is a pitch black world devoid of the concepts of time and space.
Because of that, unless resurrected souls don a mask for some time, it will be so bright that they cannot live their live here.
Chin: I see. Well, that explains the masks...
Kuri: Whut bothers me...
Is that "project" thing.
If this civilization's doin' stuff like trading souls...
then whut in thuh world're they making?
Taku: They are developing new "tastes".
Regardless, for the sake of our goal,
we must participate in that project.
If we hurry, we could perhaps
join tomorrow.
Chin: !
Tack: If we win the match, that is...
