"They say an army marches on the stomachs of its soldiers. This may be the reason why the Japanese are constantly making excuses to cook or talk about food everywhere."
Unknown origin
A trip to Nuldur by the heroes.
The twenty "heroes" were allowed to leave the palace after 3 weeks of education and training with a guard for protection.
"Ohhhh. Yatai! Let's see what they have."
"I want ramen."
"And me mochi."
"Bento please!"
"I hope there's something like that here at all."
"No problem. We'll just introduce Japanese food. That'll be the food arc!"
"See that long line up ahead? What's there? Let's take a look."
"Is that bratwurst?"
"What does that sign say?"
Someone who might have listened would probably have understood:
"Doitsu no karīvurusuto. Orijinaru reshipi. Furaidopoteto. Akashiro"1ドイツのカリーヴルスト。 オリジナルレシピ。 フライドポテト。 赤白 Deutsche Currywurst. Originalrezept. Pommes. Rot Weiß German Currywurst. Original recipe. French fries. Red White.
<Was that senpai?>
<I think so.>
"German currywurst. And French fries. What does red and white mean?"
"Ketchup and mayonnaise."
"Oh I love mayonnaise!"
"They have German bread over there!"
"I have to try some of that!"
<Senpai beat us to it!>
<As you might expect!>
<We must work hard!>
<BANZAI!>
Somewhere else.
"Ahchoo!"
"Cursed dust."
<Enko? Why did Laura-sama want us to give her samples of our makeup and lipsticks?>
<She wrote that we girls should be frugal with our cosmetics from home until she can make them herself.>
<OOOOH!>
I definitely wanna see more chapters from the heroes' perspectives.
Vol. 1 SS 17 – Title, in Vol. 2 there will be at least another one or two short stories from the heroes pov.
@Nymus I'm writing these as I read it for the first time, so I'm not looking ahead on purpose.
@Nymus What even ARE they doing right now? So far, they've only been mentioned offhandedly, I don't even know what they were supposed to be fighting against...
@ARFitS at this time? kind of acclimatization. Edward is quite proud of his heroes. Official they´re asked to help to defend the kingdom against all kind of dangers.
@ARFitS There it is, in Royal Summons Edward says:
"My heroes, welcome and arise. We and Our Kingdom need your help. Please support Us in Our fight against the enemies of the people."
@Nymus Yeah, but what enemies? If the kingdom were in any kind of danger, you'd expect it to be mentioned by now...
