We Can't Not Eat It

Both the jacket potato and the sausage roll were delicious. It may be because we ate them together.

Really… Now that you’ve put it that way, I think that might be too!

Oh! They got somethin’ tasty lookin’ over at that stall! I’m gonna go eat some!
|
Choice 1: I'll go with you!
|
Choice 2: Wait for me!

It's fine for you two to run around, but don't get lost.Grim just doesn't know how to settle down, huh.
|
Ortho
|
I also want to go and look around all the stuff in the park. I want to document all the goings-on of the festival.

Okay, then I guess we’ll all go off on our own for a bit. Everyone, meet back here in one hour.
|
Epel
|
Right, got it!
|
|
Epel
|
Okaaay, what should I do for an hour?
|
Silver
|
…
|
Epel
|
Oh, Silver-san. What’s up, why’re you looking so glum?
|
Silver
|
Before we left, my father told me to go and fully enjoy the festival here in this foreign country…
But now that we’re told to do things on our own, I’m not sure what I should do.
|
Epel
|
I mean, it’s nothing you have to think so hard about… Oh, hey! Why don’t you look around the festival with me, then?
|
Silver
|
Is that alright? If you don’t mind, then please, let me tag along with you.
|
|
Silver
|
I find comfort in all the greenery in this park.
|
Epel
|
I agree. My hometown’s surrounded by nature too, so I find this super relaxing.
…Hm? Sniff, sniff… Oh, something smells good.
|
Silver
|
There are many pie stands over there. It must be from there.
|
Epel
|
It looks good! Don’t you want to try some?
|
Silver
|
I suppose so. They are selling many different kinds of pies. I wonder which one would be best.
There’s shepherd’s pie with lamb, and cottage pie with beef…
|
Epel
|
Looks like they have sweet dessert pies too. Like lemon pies… And apple pies!
|
Pie Stall Owner
|
The Queendom of Roses is most well known for their pies, dear customers!
|
Epel
|
Oh, really! Then, since we’re here, I definitely want to eat something that screams, “Queendom specialty!”
|
Silver
|
Sir, what is your most popular item?
|
Pie Stall Owner
|
Well, that’d be this one! If you’ve come all the way here to the Queendom, you have to eat this pie!
|
Silver
|
Hm? This is…
|
Epel
|
TH-THERE’S A TON OF FISH HEADS STICKING OUT OF THE PIE!!
|
Pie Stall Owner
|
That’s a stargazy pie! I bet you’ve never seen that before, huh?
|
Epel
|
Herring heads and tails are sticking out of the pie… Just haphazardly… Looks like there’s about 10 of them.
The shock of just seeing it is too crazy! It doesn’t really look that good, to me?
U-Uh… Do you have any other recommendations…?
|
Silver
|
I’ll take it.
|
Epel
|
EEHH!?
|
Silver
|
We can’t not eat it, especially after the gentleman here has told us that this pie here is what screams, “Queendom specialty!”
|
Epel
|
I mean, true, I guess I did ask him… But still…
It’s hard to consider eating it after looking into the eyes of those fish sticking out of the pie…
|
Silver
|
I see. I don’t believe this will be any worse than the food that I’ve eaten up until now…
If you don’t want to, I will not force you to. I will eat it myself. Good sir, please allow me one slice.
|
Pie Stall Owner
|
Here you go! Hot out of the oven!
|
Silver
|
Thank you. Then, I’ll dig in.
|
[chomp]
|
Epel
|
…How is it?
|
Silver
|
It’s delicious.
|
Epel
|
Eehh!? Really!?
|
Silver
|
Perhaps it’s because I’m not as familiar with fish pies. It’s a strange and interesting flavor.
I’m not very good with my words, so I’m afraid I can’t explain myself very well.
|
Epel
|
Man, now I’m starting to get curious…
…Okay, fine. I’ll try one too!
|
Pie Stall Owner
|
One more slice, okay! Here you go! It’s still hot, so eat carefully.
|
Epel
|
…I don’t want to look at those fish, so I should just close my eyes. Down the hatch… [bite]…
…Oh, it’s actually pretty good…! It’s kind of weird in it’s own way, and the flavor grows on you.
The bitterness of the herring, the sweetness of the pumpkin, and the savory white sauce all mix well together.
|
Silver
|
I agree wholeheartedly.
Not only does it look interesting, the flavor is also unique. This dish truly feels like it would only be found here.
|
Epel
|
When I get back to campus, I gotta tell people about this. This’ll be a good story to share.
I’m glad I tried it! But it’s all thanks to you trying it out first, Silver-san!
|
Silver
|
No, it was because I chose to walk around with you that I was able to have such a memorable experience. I think I will be telling my father and the others about this.
Alright. Which stall should we head to next?
The dish we just tried didn’t seem to appeal to you visually, after all. Let’s look to eat something that you think would be delicious next.
