Ryo Quotes

Asuka...you're really cute. When I look at you...I start wanting to protect you.

Odd way to dress for an investigation," Barrons murmured. "She's not Dani anymore," Ryodan clipped. "Would you rather she had on jeans and sneakers?" I said. "I'd rather she had on a fucking suit of armor," Ryodan said cooly. And a chastity belt if I could read the looks in a man's eyes. And I could. "She's a woman, Ryodan," I said softly. "Get used to it. Dancer was right. We need to accept her." (Mac, Barrons and Ryodan as Dani/Jada walks into Chesters)

I want to make everyone happy. Because I truly believe that the world is a better place if everyone is happy and smile and CARE for one another

Is getting rid of all thorns in someone's path really what's best for them? While they are still young enough to be allowed to trip and fall. It's important for them to learn the pain of it and how to pick themselves up again" - Yoake Ryo (Relife)

We’re gonna kill that bastard. We’re gonna make it out of here alive and go home... Together.

Save your pathetic excuses. I’ll make you pay for your sins.” “The biggest sin here is that you’re missing your brain.

I remember everything that has happened to me. Even if it's painful, all of it belongs to me. - Yuuki Anzai

Now the flirting couple had been joined by a bunny girl who’d screamed how she wanted to fuck a guy at the top of her lungs, and a beautiful older woman who was panting heavily after being called a pervert

Their roles as boy and girl had been completely reversed. Though Hajime had to admit, Kaori made for a great hero. That would’ve made Hajime the heroine, though. As a guy, he wasn’t quite sure how to feel about that, so all he could do was smile.

The seafood is so fresh it is otherworldly! Their rich umami flavors swirl together in my mouth like a whirlpool! The pike is transcendental fresh, yes? It's tender and fatty and melty sweet!" "I'm impressed he had the strength to cram this much powerful umami into a single dish! So refined, yet utterly savage. Ryo Kurokiba has reached a new pinnacle!" "That looks sooo good!" "But still, do all Japan pike have this much flavor in season?" "Good point. Not all do. How did he manage to create this strong of a flavor while using hardly any seasonings? Hm? Wait... it's faint, but I smell hints of a refreshing scent. A scent that is not seafood!" "It is the fragrance of herbs." "Exactly! I added a pat of this to the dish!" "Aha! Herb butter! Finely chopped herbs and spices are mixed into softened butter... ... and then wrapped up and chilled in the refrigerator for a day to allow the flavors to meld." "I stuck a pat of homemade herb butter into each wrap right before I put 'em in the oven. Baking on low heat made the butter melt slowly... ... allowing its richness to seep into every nook and cranny of the entire dish!" Both flavor and fragrance have the punch of an exploding warhead! What an impeccably violent dish!

This is based on Sauce Américaine. A classic French sauce, its recipe calls for crushed lobster shells and meat crushed together. And then there's its rich, woody fragrance. I know what it's from now! COGNAC!" *Cognac is a variety of brandy made in Cognac, France. There are many strict requirements the brandy must meet in order to be considered an official cognac.* "I see! When brandy is aged, it absorbs the scents of the wooden casks in which it's stored! That's why this curry has such a strong bouquet of woody aromas... like sandalwood and cedar!" "Yup! That's right, sir. By the way, for this dish I experimented a little... ... and used Napoleon-Grade Cognac, which has even richer scents. There are several grades of cognac, depending on how long it is aged. Napoleon Grade is considered the highest.

The scent of the spicy squid is almost too much to handle!" First we start with bite-size chunks of squid sautéed in some olive oil and squid ink... Once the flavors have fully melded together, in goes a generous splash of white wine to flambé them! Then some cabbage and onion for sweetness! Tomatoes for a little zing! And finally... the secret ingredient! "What the heck? Look at that giant needle!" "You're not going to use that on the food, are you?!" We convinced a local restaurant to let us have their huge pile of leftover shrimp heads and seafood shells. By boiling it all down, we infuse all their savory umami goodness and richness into olive oil... ... making a big batch of Hayama's special red olive oil! Using a cooking injector, we inject a dose right into the yolk of a soft-boiled egg, aaand... PLOOP

Lobster tomalley fish innards! The richness of all the ingredients have melded into one powerful whole! What a robust, almost wild flavor! Next, let's try the broth together with the noodles... here I go! Ye gods! I have to hold myself together or I'll black out! As it is, that was nearly a knockout punch! Who knew umami flavor could be this powerfully violent! How about the toppings? I see three varieties of shredded cheese. Rouille... *Rouille is a type of aioli, usually consisting of olive oil, breadcrumbs and various spices like garlic and chili flakes. It, along with croutons and cheese, is a standard garnish to Soupe de Poisson.* And are those tempura flakes? Aha! He must have added those as a crouton analogue! And finally the rusk! It looks like it's been spread with Échiré butter and well toasted. Perhaps it was added as a palate cleanser for after that strong, rich broth. WHAT?! What an intense, aromatic flavor! But where is all of this coming from?! Hm? What are these pink flakes in the butter? Wait, now I see! Those shells he crushed! He had them dried to increase their umami flavor!" "It's about time you noticed. I added those powdered shells to everything in this dish, from the soup stock to the butter on the rusk." "See, the umami flavor in lobsters and shrimp comes from three elements: glycine, arginine and proline. Of all seafood, crustaceans carry the highest concentration of umami components, y'know. Since Ryo took that powdered lobster shell- chock full of those three umami components- and added it to every element of the dish... ... it's, like, only natural that it's flavor is going to have a strong umami punch.

I see prawns, mussels... a whole host of seafood!" "Don't forget the perfectly ripe tomatoes and the bottle of olive oil. Aah, I get it. It seems he is making Acqua Pazza." ACQUA PAZZA A local delicacy in Southern Italy... ... Acqua Pazza is a simple yet gourmet dish of poached white fish mixed with a variety of other ingredients. Traditional ingredients include olive oil, tomatoes and shellfish. "Compared to many other poached or simmered dishes, it uses relatively few seasonings. Because it's so uncomplicated, the quality of the ingredients themselves comes to the forefront. It's the perfect dish to show off his superhuman eye for selecting fish." "Not that Acqua Pazza itself is a poor choice... ... but the centerpiece of the dish must still be the pike! Yet the ingredients he's chosen have distinct flavors that demand attention. Won't simmering them all together drown out the flavor of the fish?" "True! It would be a waste of an in-season pike to- Wait..." "Exactly. Precisely because it is in season, the pike's flavor won't be drowned out. Instead, it has the potential to become the base of the entire dish! It's a recipe only someone with great confidence in their eye for fish could have chosen for this competition.

What luxury ingredient will it be this year? Matsutake mushrooms? "Returning" Skipjack? Fresh soba?" "IT'S MACKEREL PIKE!" "Really? Pike?!" "Umm... that's kind of a letdown, to be honest. They're such common fish..." "Not so fast, folks. It is true that throughout Japanese history, pike was viewed as a common fish that only the peasantry ate. But recently, high-class restaurants have begun serving it... ... and it now appears on the menus of restaurants across the world. It has become an unspoken representative of the Fall Fishing Season. A dish that uses pike in some way... ... is the theme for the final round of this year's Fall Classic!" "Mmm, pike! The first thing that springs to mind is yummy salt-grilled pike! The crispy skin... the hot, succulent meat... the savory smell of its juices... A dollop of grated daikon radish on top, and it's yum, yum, yum!" "It's been showing up on sushi menus recently too. That's a general ingredient for you. You can do tons of stuff with it." "As you all know, pike can be used in a wide variety of dishes. But strangely enough, this one ingredient... ... has connections to all three of our contestants. A pike.. ... with its fatty meat is known for its robust fragrance. It is a prized ingredient in seafood dishes across the world. And it has a long history of use in what is viewed as common cuisine!" "Oho! It has facets that appeal to all three chefs." "That means it's an ingredient that can play to each of their strengths!

However, he wasn’t thrilled about the idea of fleeing from a monster army while she sucked his blood. I suppose drastic times call for drastic measures...

Yeah!” Hajime lifted Yue up and started twirling her around. Their smiles were completely out of place in the location that had been dubbed hell by the rest of the world. At

Pathetic. Purposely taking hits is a terrible way of fighting.

The best possible move was to simply ignore him.

Despite how hard she’d struggled, her hand hadn’t reached Eri. “Why did things have to end up like this...? Actually, I guess that’s too cliché even for me.

took two hits, one to the temple, and the other to its flank. Though it had managed to avoid fatal injuries, it had still been blown off the course of its charge.

There had been some reservation to eating the moth, but he reminded himself it was to make him stronger, which helped him power through that meal.

Meanwhile, the two-headed T. rex had successfully ripped its deceased head off, leaving just a normal T. rex with an extra neck sticking out at an odd angle.

Có thể nói rằng, một điều hết sức quan trọng là đừng quay lưng với bất cứ ai, vì bạn không bao giờ biết được những gì họ đang phải trốn tránh thế giới bên ngoài.

As the group discussed where to head next, they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of flapping wings. The sound they’d feared the most. Judging from how loud it was, it wasn’t just a few pairs of wings either. “Ah?!” The party’s expressions froze, and they hurried over to the edge of the platform and looked down. As they’d feared, the tidal wave of cockroaches was climbing their way up to them. “Fuuuuuuck!” “Mmm?! Draconic Thunder.” “Get away from meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” “Nooooooooooooooo! Disintegrate, disintegrate, disintegrate!” “Begone, foul creatures! Dragonbreath!” Everyone’s hair stood on end, and they fired off their strongest attacks in a panic. Hajime unleashed a barrage of rockets from his Orkans, Yue summoned her Draconic Thunder, Shea fired off explosive slugs one after another, Kaori sent down a wave of disintegration, and Tio unleashed her malefic breath. Kouki and the others fired off their best long-range attacks as well. Everyone except Shizuku, who looked like she was about to faint.

Fall back, you say? Don’t be ridiculous. Why should a god like me retreat from a human!?” Alva proclaimed, ignoring the apostle’s warning. Confident in his powers, he glared at Hajime and commanded, “I order you in the name of Alvaheit, kneel befo— Aaaaaaaaagh!” “Alva-sama!” Without warning, Alva’s outstretched arm was separated from his body.

Teachers are supposed to mitigate conflict, not get people all riled up... Are you sure you understand your job? Hajime thought

How about Miffy?” “Rejected,” Kaori replied immediately. She wouldn’t allow Hajime to steal names from mascot characters from back on earth. Especially not cute ones like Miffy. No way Miffy would kick bears to death. Sighing, Hajime offered a few more suggestions. “Fine, Peter Rabbi—” “No way.” “Udonge.” “I don’t know where that’s from, but I just know you’re ripping something off again. Take this seriously!” I am taking this seriously, though...

One was a specialized Treasure Trove designed for holding and transporting monsters, which he’d called the Monster Orb. (Though, in his head, he just referred to it as a Pokéball

I’ll tell them that I fell in love with you, Nagumo-kun. I don’t know how they’ll react, but I’ve been thinking I should be more honest with myself.” “I see. Then I guess we better meet up with them soon so... Hold on a second Yaegashi, what did you just—

Surprisingly, Hajime had waited like a good villain for Kouki to complete his hero transformation. But now he’d gotten tired of standing around and he fired Donner and Schlag at Kouki. That wasn’t all, either. At the same time he pulled the trigger, he also lobbed a grenade at him. Kouki didn’t bother to dodge at all, and streaks of red light punched through his shoulder and leg.

Kouki shouted, “Fuck! You coward!” It seemed villains who didn’t wait for the hero’s transformation to finish were cowards.

W-Wait, stop! Please! You promised to leave Eri to me, remember, Nagumo-kun!?” “Calm down, Taniguchi. I was using the flat end of the bullet.” “That only works for swords!

Slowly but surely, Yue began to believe that he was someone she could trust again. Smiling, Dienleed whispered, “Come, Aletia. Together, we can—” However, before he could finish, a loud boom interrupted him, and a flash of light streaked toward his skull. He didn’t even have time to react before Hajime’s bullet pierced through his brain and made his neck snap back. Everyone stared in disbelief as Dienleed’s body slumped to the ground. He wasn’t even twitching. A strained silence spread through the throne room as comprehension dawned on the onlookers. The sound of a revolver cocking finally snapped everyone out of their reverie.

At the same time, Suzu finally recovered from her shock enough to confront Eri. In a trembling voice, she said, “E-Eri! I... really wanted to—” “Hm? Oh, you were here?” “Ah—” Eri’s dismissive tone hurt more than any insult could have.

No, this devil’s way worse. The devil of hell’s nothing compared to this guy. You’ve all seen this devil before... The black devil that dwells in kitchen corners, I mean...” Hajime’s description only made Kouki and the others more confused. In response, Hajime pulled out a single Cross Bit and sent it down below. He then pulled up a small crystal display to show everyone what its sensors picked up on. Yue and the others crowded around, and as soon as the blurry image came into focus— “Aaah?!” There were dozens of them. And for each one that was visible, there were likely dozens more. The terrifying devils whose name started with C. They scuttled around the ground, spreading chaos in their wake. From shadow to shadow they crawled, these devils who were sturdier than any other living creature. Whether in Tortus or on Earth, these devils possessed the unique magic capable of striking fear into the hearts of all. The bane of mothers and restaurant owners everywhere. Cockroaches.

The first head of the Klarus family had taken the initiative by bringing gifts to the other mortal races, but they repaid his kindness by slaughtering his wife.

If I recalled correctly, Dad was insisting that his dev team put elves into the most recent game he was working on. In fact, one of his employees

This was what they had told the students when they’d tried to persuade them to stay home: Templar Knights Commander, David Zahler: “Don’t worry. I’ll protect Aiko. I promise you, I won’t let even a hair on her head be harmed. After all, she’s my ang— Er, my everything.” Templar Knights Vice Commander, Chase Domino: “I’m prepared to give my all for Aiko-san. Hell, I’d even throw away my faith for her if I had to. So don’t worry, we’ll keep her safe.” Imperial Guard Joshua Augus: “Meeting Aiko-chan must have been fate. How could I possibly let my fated partner die?” Imperial Guard Jade Hatto: “I swear on my life that I will keep her safe. Not as a member of the Imperial Guard, but as a man.

I felt guilty about asking the servants to make food just for me and I figured skipping just one meal wouldn’t be a big deal. But then I got so hungry I couldn’t sleep... which is why I figured I’d go to the kitchens to see if they had anything. I found some vegetable scraps leftover and ate those, but...” “But?” “Whatever they were, they didn’t sit well with my stomach... I spent two hours fighting in the bathroom. You really don’t want to go in there right now.” “What a night...” “Anyway, once I finished, I realized there was another problem.” “Your story’s not over yet!? And what on earth is in that bathroom!?” “It’s not what’s in there, but what isn’t. There wasn’t any toilet paper.

Driven into a corner, the humans had turned to desperate tactics. They attempted to sacrifice someone to appease their gods and gain their favor. A hundred little girls were invited into the church’s grand cathedral, where they were summarily slaughtered.

Nothing special. They kept on asking me ‘Who’s the one who sent you’ and stuff like that. I got tired of their nagging so I just told them ‘Your mom.

The wave of cockroaches flew up above Hajime and the others, then, as if being pulled down by gravity, crashed into them as one solid mass. The party’s field of vision was filled with wriggling black bodies. Many of the cockroaches were squished on impact and left disgusting brown streaks as their bodies slid down the barrier. Those that survived crawled all around the barrier’s surface, seeking for a way in. “I-I can’t—” Disgusted beyond reason, Suzu fainted. Kouki rushed over to Suzu and grabbed her as she fell. “Suzu, don’t fall asleep! If you fall asleep it’s all over for us!” That was no exaggeration. If the party was swallowed up by that wave of cockroaches, they would no doubt be utterly broken mentally.

Victory Special! A Bright Future Awaits Nagumo’s Mistresses! Follow These Easy Steps, and You Can Join His Harem as Well!’ What do you think? Doesn’t that pique your curiosity!?” “It piques my desire to kill you.” To Hajime’s surprise, most of his female classmates perked up when they heard Mao’s words. It seemed her newest article would be in high demand.

Why are neither of them using any footwork? Why did the Frost Golem give up its halberd and actually accept Ryutarou’s boxing challenge? Why are neither of them guarding? Why are they taking turns smacking each other like there’s some kind of rule about each fighter only getting one punch at a time?

Eyes locked on Shea, Mikhail uttered his final words. In his mind, he apologized to Cattleya for not being able to avenge her. “Gah... you... cough... monster!” “Fufu, thanks for the compliment!” Sadly, his insult only served to make Shea happy. Ah, if there really is an afterlife, I’ll need to look for Cattleya there. That was the last thought that flashed through his mind before Shea’s hammer ended his life. Shea looked down at Mikhail’s battered corpse and smiled to herself. “Looks like I’m finally strong enough to be called a monster too. Fufu, I’m finally getting closer to Hajime-san.

Cam: My name is Cambantis, dark hunter of the forbidden depths. And I have only one thing to say. Our mighty Boss, Hajime Nagumo, the crimson sovereign of the white night, divine destroyer of— A single gunshot interrupted the group’s reading. They all jumped and looked up at Hajime. “Don’t move. Don’t read another word. Move anything, especially your eyes, and I kill you.” He sounded like a terrorist as he gathered everyone’s magazines, ripped out the offending pages, threw them onto the ground, and incinerated them in 3000-degree flames. “Now then, let’s keep reading while I kill Cam.

Furthermore, I’ve heard quite a few stories about Kaori-sama from ardent believers of Kaorism. According to one adherent, after watching Yue prank Kaori-sama, he approached Kaori-sama and asked, “Should we sneak into her room at night and get back at her for you?” Supposedly, Kaori-sama flew into a rage upon hearing that and said, “Yue’s one of my best friends! If you harm even a hair on her head, I’ll disintegrate the lot of you!

A person who adopts the way of Bunbu ryo do is said to be training his body for war and his mind for peace.

Kaori, why do you keep staring at Nagumo-kun? Don’t you know it’s wrong to pick up guys in a dungeon?

Ryo, dear, have you ever thought about what makes the world go round?’ ‘Er … er, love, I guess.’ ‘Oh, that’s priceless!’ she cries. ‘You never cease to amaze me, Ryo, but that’s what I love about you. I believe it is trust,’ she adds.

Even my father never hit me.

In Sino-Japanese there is a beautiful expression for buddha’s mind: ji-hi-ki-sha-mu-ryo-shin. Ji means “to love beings just as they are, beyond any desire for them to be any other way.” Hi means “to be concerned for their suffering.” Ki is “to rejoice and feel delight about all beings.” Sha means “wanting to give everything to them.” Mu-ryo means “all of these things beyond all measure.” Shin means “heart” or “mind.” It is the mind of love, concern, joy, and generosity without measure.

Next time, I’ll be the one to find you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the far end of the world or even the very depths of hell, I swear I’ll find you.

Remember, you’re not alone. Even if I die before you, I’ll be thinking about you for all eternity.

May fortune smile upon you.

If you feel bad for your dead comrades... then live on. Even if you have to crawl on the ground dredging for scraps, survive. As long as you keep struggling... eventually, the day will come when you realize there was meaning in you surviving this day.

As it was for him. Their warm, smelly bodies pressed constantly around him and he had to struggle to suppress his own instinctive reactions. At least that was not a reciprocal problem. Even the two who actively disliked him confessed that his natural odor a cross between lemon and lilacs, whatever they were. More than once he caught a crew member inhaling with obvious pleasure in his presence. Their sense of smell was located in twin openings located just above their mouths, which struck Ryo as a particularly impractical arrangement. How odd it would be, he thought amusedly, if understanding should be reached between our species not on the basis of mutual interests or intellectual discourse, but because one of us smells good to the other.

they both knew she was down bad

What, so you want me to fall into despair? That’s almost as bad a joke as your entire existence.

I thought Hayama's talent lay in the mixing of varied exotic spices to create the perfect fragrance." "No, his skill is in manipulating fragrance itself. He can do more than just add more spices into his recipes. In fact, this time he subtracted spices instead. In so doing, he accentuated the freshness and flavor of the in-season pike." "Uh, I get that much, but, like, how did he manage to get that rich of a fragrance with only one spice? His dish's impact was on par with Ryo's!" "Yes! Just searing not give that punch. It is inconceivable!" "I used kaeshi sauce. Right before serving, I brushed a thin layer of kaeshi onto the fish slices." "Kaeshi? Does he mean the ramen soup base?!" "Kaeshi was mentioned during the Ramen Bout in the Quarterfinals, yes. It seems this time it is being used in a purely Japanese fashion." "Kaeshi? Like Tsubame-Gaeshi Sword Cut, yes? Kojiro Sasaki Swallow Cut!" "I'm surprised you're familiar with that sword technique. But no, this is different. Kaeshi is a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and sake. It is most often diluted with dashi stock to go with noodles. It is considered an all-purpose seasoning that can be used in almost any Japanese dish." "No wonder! Fish meat generally does not brown easily, even when using the high, focused heat of a blowtorch. But the sugars present in kaeshi make that easier! It also prevents the heating time from dragging out too long and ruining the freshness of the fish. " "The fatty acids of the fish mix with the sugars in the kaeshi. Add heat and they will sizzle and boil.

God, that was so sweet it gave me diabetes.

Oooh! What a vibrant, flaming red the spiny lobsters are. It makes a lovely, eye-catching contrast to the brilliant yellow of the saffron rice. The lobster itself is also perfectly dressed, with no nicks or cuts on its legs and whiskers." "Given how lively and energetic the chef was during the cooking phase... ... I admit I hardly expected such elegant, delicate plating.
