“
This inn has a very special flavor that you won't find anywhere else.
I'd like for you to sample it, even just once."
"Are you challenging me, little miss? Me, the Cuisinier Noir called Monarch?"
"Hey, Tadokoro. Need any help?"
"Nope! I'll be fine."
"Whoa, now! What on earth are you two thinking?!"
"Okay, you're on, babe. I'll be nice and try your food.
But if I decide it ain't up to snuff...
... then both you and Mr. Mad-Skillz Kid will be my slaves forever!
Don't worry. I'll make sure to make real good use of you in my own personal kingdom!"
"Those conditions sound fine to me."
"Miss! This is crazy! You don't have to do this!"
"Mr. Head Chef? Could you promise me one thing, please? If the worst happens and I can't win this challenge...
Well, er... we're all stuck doing what he says for a long time, aren't we?"
"I told you this is crazy!"
"But even if that does happen... could you please not close this inn? Even if disaster strikes and things aren't going how you'd like...
... you need to keep your doors open, no matter what.
Because if you close down...
... then all the customers who love your inn will be sad.
