Alvin's plan to use pleasing servant's attire for the group seems to have panned out quite well. Customers are flocking to the front door to get a peek at the stylish servers working at the cafe! Now that they've got a steady flow of regulars, the party isn't going to let a nasty group of thugs ruin a good thing, but there still seems to be one last challenge!

Transcript

Lloyd I can't believe we managed to find every ingredient on the list...

Sara We couldn't have done it without your help, Lippy!

Milla Indeed. We never could have claimed some of these without your ability to slip into small crevasses.

Lippy I am pleased that my small stature was able to be an asset for once!

Chef I can't thank you all enough for what you've done for my restaurant.

Alvin We've done our part, Pops. The rest is up to you.

Chef I understand. I'm gonna create the finest meal I've ever made!

Nat Lan Hmm. So this is the restaurant with the audacity to challenge me directly.

Landshark Hee hee ha! Yes, yes it is! I trust you'll give them the thrashing they deserve!

Nat Lan I am not in the business of "thrashing" restaurants. I simply convey my honest opinions.

Landshark Yeah, right. That's... what I meant.

Milla A customer? Sit wherever you like.

Nat Lan I will do just that.

Alvin M-Milla! That's Nat Lan!

Milla Hmm. Well, a customer is a customer.

Lippy The Lord of Spirits kowtows to no one...

Nat Lan I'll have your best dish.

Milla Understood.

──Several minutes later──

Lloyd Thank you for your patience, sir. Here's your Herb-Roast Iripeco Boar!

Nat Lan Huh.

Sara ...

Lloyd ...

Landshark Hee hee ha ha ha!

Chef ...

Nat Lan [Slowly chewing]

Oh!

This is... This is spectacular! I've never experienced such flavor! This is utterly divine!

Sara ...!

Nat Lan The aroma of the exquisite blend of herbs and vegetables takes the flavor and texture of the tender boar meat to new and unfathomable heights!

From the knife that cuts the meat, to the fork the conveys it to the mouth, to the nostrils that inhale its scent...

From the teeth that chew the meat, to the tongue that absorbs its flavor, to the throat that ingests its juices...

It's as if they've all awakened for the very first time! I've been asleep my entire life without realizing it!

This isn't merely delicious... This redefines the word "delicious!" This is the apex of cuisine!

Lippy This is amazing. I've never seen anyone speak so forcefully as he's shoveling food into his mouth!

Milla He seems quite passionate about food. Or maybe Pops is just that good?

Sara He eats even faster than you do, Milla.

Nat Lan May I have a word with the chef, please?

Lloyd Right away, sir!

Chef I'm the chef here. How was your meal?

Nat Lan It was the finest I've ever eaten. You can expect a rave review for your Five Moons.

Chef Th-Thank you very much!

Lloyd All right! No one will ever be able to shut this place down now!

Milla And we'll be able to enjoy eating at Five Moons for the foreseeable future.

Sara Yes! This is perfect!

Alvin I don't know that I've ever even read a rave review from Nat Lan...

Lippy Why, I don't know which is more moving, the chef's heroic efforts, or Nat Lan's impassioned reception!

Landshark Damn it! This wasn't the way it was supposed to go! I'm gonna have to ask the boss how to proceed now...

Tear I have a few questions about this "boss" of yours. Will you indulge me?

Landshark Wh-What the hell...?!

Tear For example, has he been targeting an Oldorean nobleman by the name of Luke fon Fabre?

Landshark H-How could you possibly know about that?!

Tear Just as I suspected. Now, tell me everything.

Landshark D-Damn it!

Tear You'll not want to play games with me. Your little schemes will not save you this time.

Landshark Urk...

Tear I'd heard that someone was working against House Fabre, and that their minion could be found in this town. It appears I've found my man.

Waiting tables wasn't exactly part of the plan, but...

Chef Thank you, everyone. You've saved Five Moons.

I've cooked you up a thank you feast. Help yourself! I don't want anyone leaving here hungry!

Milla Well! I don't mind if I do.

Lloyd Oh yeah! I'm digging in!

Sara Wow, this really is incredible.

Tear It is. This is the first chance we've had to really relax and enjoy a meal. It's wonderful.

Lippy Well, it's time to chalk this one up as a job well done!

[The door swings open.]

Chef Sorry, folks! We're closed for the night!

Raine Lloyd! I heard the news! This is the restaurant you've been fighting to save?

Lloyd P-Professor Sage?!

Natalia Why didn't you say anything, Tear? But I'm here to help now, whether you want my help or not!

Tear N-Natalia?!

Raine All right folks, here's the plan...

Natalia First, Sage and I are gonna develop a new menu to generate some buzz. Then—

Lloyd Stop! It's over! It's all over already!

Tear And the Five Moons does not need a new menu. At all.

Raine So... the restaurant's safe? Awwww... I was really looking forward to this.

Natalia We were so excited to show off the fruits of all our cooking practice...

Lloyd Sorry, Professor.

Tear I didn't know you'd been training your cooking skills, Natalia.

Both *Sigh*

Raine Oh... I know! I'm sure you've all worked really hard on this. You must be starved!

Natalia We'll cook you a celebratory feast!

Lloyd N-No! You don't need to do that!

Milla We did just eat, but there's always room for more great cooking...

Sara (I don't remember Raine and Natalia being good cooks...)

Lippy (To be blunt, Lady Sara, their culinary skills are legendarily abyssmal.)

Alvin They're that bad?! C'mere, (user)... we're gonna have to nip this in the bud.

Milla Well, even that could be an interesting experience. I don't know that I've ever eaten anything abyssmal before...

Sara Heh heh... That's our Milla...
