Condor: Everyooone!!
The stadium is packed!!
And they's a megaton of energy in the crowd!!
Even 'ST10' are all there!! [quote white]
How many decades has it been since that happened? No, how many centuries?!
May: Close that door, Condor.
It's so bright...
And quiet down, would you?
Con: Hey, what do you make of all this, Old Man May?
May: Condor.
Do you understand me? After you open the door, you close it. This is the 23,652nd time I've told you.
The next time it happens, I'll beat you with a spice pot.
Con: Er, what I'm trying to tell you, Old Man Mei, is...

Page 5:
Kaki: The soul of a child of 3 years old is the same at 10,000 years old...
Even after living over a thousand years, some problems won't be fixed no matter what you say, Old Man May.
Actually I'm amazed you remember how many times you've told him.
Heeey, Asarudy, just how impressive were the Human World Chefs?
You saw them, didn't you...?
Hm?
Condor: What's wrong?
You're crying...
Someone: He's reading, you should stay away from him.
He's immersed in whatever he's reading about right now.
Con: Seriously?
Is that an okay book to be reading?
It's 'Marririn's Pot'?
May: Hoh. That's Melisman's 500-page touching masterpiece, isn't it?
Someone: Melisman?
May: She's a literary master in Human World.

Page 6:
May: It's one of the books that young man from Human World brought here 216 years ago. ["young man" in italics.]
Guy: Uh... That guy was an old geezer, wasn't he?!
He was a Bishokuya called Ichiryuu or something, right?
Yeah, he was strong...
He was the first creature I've seen that was stronger than the Don.
SFX: NIN
Con: Hmm. So you're saying we mustn't underestimate these chefs from Human World, is that it?
They've brought some geezer chefs with them, too.
Is it okay to get a kilogram or so excited for this?
SFX: GOGO...
Con: Hm?
GUy: Quit making all that noise over there, Condor.
I'm the one that called 'ST10'...
Okay? So pipe down...

Page 7:
Con: So you're saying it is worth getting excited about this then, right? ["is" italics]
So, uh...
Guy: Hey.
Don't make me repeat myself. I'll kill you.
Con: Kill? Oh, now there's a line I haven't heard in a while.
I thought nobody used that word anymore.
It's okay, I'll just come back to life again.
Guy: Asarudy is reading two books....
The 2nd book is a poor work that leaves a questionable aftertaste.
Asaru: Yeah! Well then how 'bout I kill you a few thousand times over?!!
Handwritten: Ah,
yes.
May: I see... So that is what got him so upset all of a sudden...?
How young you are to have such emotion. I'm jealous.
Kaki: I read it, too, but I forgot what it was about.
SFX: GATAN
GUy: Everyooone! Please get readyyy!
It is nearly time for you to appear!!
SFX: GACHA

Title: Gourmet 332 Chaco's Situation!!
SFX: WAAAAA
Guy: Members of the audieeeence!!
Is your white rice all readyyyy?!
Side: The tension is fully cooked!!
SFX: UOOH!

Page 9:
Guys: OOOOOOUU!!
Get it started alreadyyy!!
I'm starving! I can't take it anymooore!!
Guy: From just the smell...
No, from just looking at it...
the cooking of the 10-Shell Five is said to reach 10 bowls of rice!!
And that is not just in this stadium!
SFX: WAAAAA
Guy: Citizens watching this broadcast all across the country have rice in their hands
waiting with their tongues hanging out for that moment!!
SFX: ZAH
Sky: OOh! Incredible!!

Page 10:
Ai: I'm amazed they were able to setup such a huge event since yesterday...
Match: THere must be 30,000 in this stadium.
Jiji: 'Blue Grill' has a communications infrastructure no different from Human World's.
The whole country already knows about you all from a Gourmet Newsflash.
SFX: AAA
Chiru: Who do you think those people are?
SFX: AA
Jiji: They are 10 taste judges known as the 'Spiritual Tasters', or ST10 for short.
They know all about tastes of the living world of course, but these taste masters are experts in "Spirit Food" tastes as well.
It seems they will be the referees for today's match. It's quite rare to see all 10 of them together at once.
Yuda: So they're a lot like G7 from Human World, then...?
Nono: Ah!
Look where Don Slime is...!!
What is that important-looking seat?!
SFX: DOOON

Page 11:
Jiji: Ah... Well, actually, Don Slime is the "King" of 'Blue Grill'. ["King" bold.]
Nono: Huuuh?! He was the king the whole time?! Even though he's a Food Spirit?!!
Jiji: It's true that Don Slime is a Food Spirit right now. ["right now" in italics]
And there are citizens that are unable to see hum day or night.
But Don Slime is unmistakably the symbol of this civilization.
He is recognized by all citizens of this country as their king.
And the one that wants to see more than anyone what all of you can do today is Don Slime himself.
All right, let's get started!
Have you all decided on your 5 representatives?
Yuda: Have you gotten in contact with Chef Komatsu?
Nono: No, not yet.
Chiru: Chiyo-sensei and the others went to look for him, but I'm not sure they'll make it in time.
Yuda: Mm... No choice, then. I suppose we will fight until they get here.
Wabutora, Chiru, Damala Sky, Nono, get ready.

Page 12:
Komatsu: Wh...
What do you mean...
they're... selling souls...?
Guy: Since long ago, in this country...
there has been a "soul trade" going on...
The good-for-nothings are ostracized
and their souls are replaced with superior ooones...
Komatsu: Their souls are...
replaced...?
Guy: That's right.
Our ancestors were originally
slaves of the Nitrooo.
And the genes of our ancestors that had Gourmet Cells forcibly injected into them
have been strongly inherited even by this generation... Both the good and baaad...
Komatsu: ..........

Page 13:
Komatsu: By... "The bad"..
You mean the genes of people that were invaded by Gourmet Cells and couldn't adapt well to them, right...?
Guy: Even now they become "wounds" that appear in some generations...
It's about 10% of the country's population...
Don't you think it's odd?
Komatsu: Huh?
Guy: How do you think the people that have been forced to shoulder such a miserable fate
created such a luxurious civilization...?
Komatsu: Is that the reason...
for the trading of souls?
Guy: Here, those with wounds or injuries cannot even receive regular education or medical care.
From the country's perspective, rather than meaninglessly spending time and effort on failures and dropouts,
it's easier to just switch their soul with a superior one right from the beginniiing...
Many of those that live in the slums have had their souls switched and were made to participate in the country's projeeeect......
And there, they are forced into seemingly endless toil......

Page 14:
Komatsu: H... Hold on a second... Chako's mom is part of that project, too, isn't she...?
Was her... soul switched?!
Just what is that project...?
Guy: Once every 6 months, citizens of the slums are chosen at random
to undergo a detailed health examination.
If any abnormalities are found there, they are forced to relocate
and their souls are bought and soled.
Chako's mother's eyes were not healthy... Ever since Chako was born, it seems she could barely see at all...
She was somehow able to hide that in order to raise Chako... But half a year ago, they finally discovered it and took custody of her...
Chako doesn't know about her eyes, either...
He's still waiting patiently for his mother to return home...
But...
Chako's mother will most likely never come back here again...
Komatsu: Wh... What...?
Chako's...

Page 15:
Chako: Mom...
Komatsu: Chako is...
going to have his soul switched, too?!
Guy: ......If there are no particular irregularities in his body... then that will not happen, but...
Chako does have weak senses of taste and smell...
Komatsu: .........
Huh...?
CHako: Ah! It stinks!!
It really kinda stinks in here!!
Koma: N-No it doesn't!
Chako: What is this...?
It doesn't taste that good.
Komatsu: Huuuuh?! That can't be!
Komatsu: ..........
It couldn't be......?
M... Mister...
Could I ask you something...?
Guy: Hm?

Page 16:
Komatsu: This is some soup
that I made yesterday.....
Guy: .......
Th... This...
Komatsu: Do you think...
it tastes okay?
Chako might have a taste disorder.
WHere is it?
Please, tell me where they brought Chako.
Guy: ........
Your...

Page 17:
Guy: Your name, what is it...?
Komatsu: It's Komatsu;
Guy: Chako was taken to the peak of Shell Mountain, 'The Kitchen of Eternity'. [quote white]
...Like mine,
the souls drowning and falling to the word "eternity" is the true darkness of this civilization... [quote bold]
Let me tell you...
about all of this country's secrets.
SFX: PIRIRIRI
Komatsu: !
Hello!
...Huh?
HUUH?! A cooking competition?!

Chiru: We're really playing the villain roles in this, aren't we...?
Damala: Do not be nervous.
