4-3: Th-This is!!!

Harveston - Kelkkarotu Venue
Grim Grim	…Mm?! Sniff sniff…sniff sniff… There's a really yummy smell coming from here! I'm gonna go check it out for a bit!
Sebek Sebek	Oi! Grim, wait up!
Jade Jade	Grim, Sebek, where are the both of you heading to? The others are going to lose you.

Epel Epel	Oh man, at this rate, we won't be able to race tomorrow… How are we going to settle this, guys?
Idia Idia	……
Epel Epel	……Wha-?! We're only left with Idia and Yuu? Where's Sebek and the rest?
Idia Idia	Th-They kinda went that way…
Epel Epel	What?! Man, they sure are a carefree bunch. Well, we should be able to find them pretty quickly anyway since this is a small village.

Harveston - Apple Square
Jade Jade	Ah, this is the Kokko Market we visited earlier in the afternoon, yes?
Sebek Sebek	Looks like the bonfire in the center has been lit up. It's so toasty now!
Jade Jade	The lanterns above us are also glowing vibrantly. The atmosphere has certainly undergone a festive transformation.
Grim Grim	And there's even more food stalls now than there was in the afternoon! Everything looks real good to eat!
Sebek Sebek	Alright, guess it's time to grab a quick bite before the welcome party starts.
Jade Jade	Allow me to accompany you two, then. After all, I can't afford to bring ruin to such a harmony of objectives.
Grim Grim	Look, this stall's selling food I've never seen in my life!

Sebek Sebek	There's some liquid being put into the cavities in the hot plate. And the chef's shaping them with impressive technique into spheres.
Jade Jade	Isn't this takoyaki? I have had some in the past. It is a light snack filled with octopus that one eats drizzled with a rich, savoury sauce. It is Floyd's favourite food, you see.
Sebek Sebek	It's a dish I've never heard of either. I can't imagine how it tastes like, so I guess I'll try some.
Stallholder Stallholder	Aye! Ah'm all done, so eat up, lads!
Thanks for the food~! …Mm?!
Grim Grim	Umyamya?! Wh-What's with this?! It's super duper sweet!
Sebek Sebek	Oi, Jade! What part of this tastes like a savoury and light snack?! There isn't even any octopus in this!
Jade Jade	How peculiar indeed.
Epel Epel	Ah! They are here after all! I thought you guys would come to Kokko Market since you mentioned you were hungry.
Choice 1: We were looking for you!		Choice 2: Don't just disappear without telling anyone!
Jade Jade Sebek Sebek	My apologies, Grim and Sebek just wouldn't listen, you see.
Grim Grim	Oi, Epel! Why isn't there octopus in this?!
Epel Epel	Huh, like takoyaki…? No, no, these are miniature pancakes. It's a dessert that is made by frying dough in a spherical shape and filling it with jam.
Jade Jade	I see, so that was why. It resembles takoyaki at first glance, so I mistook it for such.
Grim Grim	It was surprising at first, but the munchy surface is addictive!
Sebek Sebek	I was seeking something to replenish my sugars after exercise anyway, so this works out well.
Jade Jade	A dessert that looks identical to takoyaki… Floyd would definitely have the shock of his life. I shall study the recipe and commit it to heart.
Epel Epel	Oh, I know how to make it, too, by the way. I used to make them quite often at night whenever I started craving sweets. There aren't any stores here that open late into the night, after all. I'll write the recipe down and hand it to you afterwards.
Jade Jade	Thank you so much, Epel.
Epel Epel	Anyway, let's hurry back to the assembly hall! The villagers are waiting for us.
Jade Jade	Yes, let us make haste… Th-This is!!!! I never thought I'd get to see it in such a location!!!
Epel Epel	I-Is something the matter?
Jade Jade	Excuse me! Allow me to purchase this soup!
Epel Epel	Um, J-Jade?! Didn't I just say that we'll be heading back to the assembly hall?!
Jade Jade	This is an exception! It is one of the objectives I had for coming to Harveston!
Idia Idia	First time seeing Sir Jade so excited… How rare…
Grim Grim	Fnagh? Is this soup yummy or something?
Jade Jade	Indeed, it is. This is a specialty that cannot be tasted in any other country. I've always wished to have a sip myself.
Grim Grim	Huh. I wanna have some too!
Sebek Sebek	Me too!
Epel Epel	C-Can't be helped then…
Shopkeep Shopkeep	Here ye go!
Jade Jade	Then… I shall have a taste…
Gulp…!
Jade Jade	Ahh... Such a rich and intense flavour, paired in beautiful harmony with its earthy aroma that embodies the very soul of the mountains themselves... This is the finest of fine delicacies!
Grim Grim	Gulp, gulp… Mmm! It's real good!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah, this tastes great! Looks like there's something added to it that was sliced into strips. What kind of soup is this, actually?
Epel Epel	This is mushroom soup. It's made with a really, really rare ingredient. It has an extremely strange appearance… Look, one's being displayed over there.
Grim Grim	Oh, which one… Whoa! It looks so weird! It's reddish-brown and all flabby!
Sebek Sebek	Yeah. It has lots of deep wrinkles and it kinda looks like a human ear.
Grim Grim	An ear of all things… What a gross shape it's got!
Epel Epel	It's really impressive that you're able to gulp it down non-stop, Jade… That mushroom is considered inedible in pretty much every other country. Though here in Harveston, it's been very normal for us to eat them since the olden days. It's a very particular ingredient that can only be prepared by specialist chefs.
Idia Idia	So basically it's a grotesque food…
Jade Jade	I have always wanted to try this mushroom soup. This is a dream come true for me!
Epel Epel	Jade of all people had such a dream…?
Grim Grim	Anything goes with me as long as it's yummy! Gulp, gulp!
