| Riku | "I used to always play at the Akebono Inn... It was never this run down." |
| "And geez, Mom wants me to be the manager of this place? There's no one here to manage!" |
| "At least the electricity and gas work. It'll do for now." |
| "Hello? Mom? I just arrived. ...Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, I know. I told you, I'm thinking about it." |
| "Yeah, I know. Okay, I'm gonna hang up." |
| "Man, even I have no idea what to do from now on..." |
| "I'm hungry..." |
| Izumi | (Omi-kun's very composed. His cooking also looks very natural on stage.) |
| |
| Riku | "...All right, it's done. Now, where's the beer..." |
| Klaus | "?!" |
| Riku | "Huh?" |
| Klaus | "Who goes there?! Whence did you come?" |
| Riku | "That's what I want to know!" |
| Klaus | "Haah!" |
| (He slashes at Riku) |
| Riku | "Whoa!" |
| Klaus | "What a peculiar sword and shield. What kingdom arms its soldiers with the likes of those?" |
| Riku | "Whoa, calm down! How about you explain yourself first? And what's with the costume?" |
| (Klaus slashes at Riku again) |
| Klaus | "You're quite the fighter." |
| Riku | "I'm just a guy trying to have his dinner in peace!" |
| Klaus | "Dinner...?" |
| (Klaus' stomach grumbles) |
| Riku | "You're hungry, aren't you?" |
| Klaus | "What is this... fragrance? What is this room?!" |
| Riku | "Hey, you're tracking dirt into my kitchen!" |
| Klaus | "Oh, my apologies." |
| "What is in the pot? Some sort of... thin liquid... I've never seen a dish like this before." |
| Riku | "...You want some?" |
| Klaus | "But, what is it?" |
| Riku | "You'll find out if you put that sword away." |
| Klaus | "For a pot of such suspicious nature? I'm not sure that's wise." |
| (Klaus' stomach grumbles again) |
| Riku | "Fine, then don't have any." |
| Klaus | "Ggh... Fine. I shall partake." |
| "This flavor... is most exquisite! Every ingredient melts in perfect harmony; each flavor distinct, yet perfectly balanced... Just like a symphony in the hands of a seasoned orchestra!" |
| "Never has my tongue been graced by something so delightful, nor have my eyes witnessed such a perfect marriage." |
| Riku | "It's just pork miso soup, nothing fancy." |
| Izumi | (Yep, this scene looks good, too.) |
| (Sakyo-san's Klaus looks even happier than before. You can really feel Klaus' amazement at the dish.) |
| (Omi-kun's Riku is still a little suspicious of Klaus, but is happy that Klaus likes his cooking. You can really get a feeling of how their relationship will develop.) |
| Klaus | "Allow me to apologize for my outburst. I am sorry." |
| Riku | "It's fine. My hunger got the better of me, too." |
| Klaus | "We should probably figure out what the situation is here." |
| Riku | "I agree." |
| Klaus | "I am Klaus, a border guard. What is this place, and who are you?" |
| Riku | "I'm Kondou Riku. You're in the kitchen of the boarding house, Akebono Inn, in Japan." |
| Klaus | "Japan...?" |
| Riku | "I'm guessing the border you guard isn't Japan's border." |
| Klaus | "What in Heaven's name is happening...?" |
| Riku | "Anyway, looks like what we do know is that my fridge is now a portal." |
| Klaus | "This is most peculiar... I don't think it's supposed to be there." |
| Riku | "Whoa!" |
| (The portal lights up, and Klaus disappears) |
| Riku | "He's gone...?" |
| "What the hell...? I don't... think I'm drunk..." |
| |
| Riku | "Now even opening the fridge is scary... Last night was a weird night." |
| (Some footsteps resound through the Akebono Inn) |
| Riku | "What was that noise?" |
| (More footsteps...) |
| Riku | ..."I hope I don't get jumped with a sword again." |
| Eita | "Whoa!" |
| Riku | "And who are you?" |
| Eita | "Who, me? I'm a tenant here, and—" |
| Riku | "Don't lie to me. I'm the manager." |
| Eita | "Man, what the hell? What does Akebozo Inn need a manager for?" |
| Riku | "It's Akebono. You sure have a lot of attitude for someone who's trespassing. You want me to call the cops?" |
| Eita | "You gonna eat that omurice?" |
| Riku | "Shameless, aren't you?" |
| Eita | "I haven't eaten for two days..." |
| Riku | "Did you run away from home? Should I call child protective services instead of the cops?" |
| Eita | "W-Wait, don't! I'll do anything! I-I could clean the place!" |
| Riku | "No take-backs. All right, you can have the omurice." |
| Eita | "Hell yeah! Now, where's the tomato sauce..." |
| (He opens the fridge, and the portal opens once again.) |
| Camilo | ...! |
| Eita | "Whoaa! Who the hell are you?!" |
| Camilo | "Gimme that!" |
| Eita | "What the— Did you just come out from the fridge?!" |
| Riku | "Not again..." |
| Eita | "Whoa, man, what the— That sword's illegal!" |
| Riku | "I guess not in their world." |
| Eita | "What?" |
| Camilo | "This is... so good...! Could this be... ambrosia?!" |
| Eita | "Hey, that's mine!" |
| Riku | "Are you a friend of Klaus'?" |
| Camilo | "Oh, you're... nomnom... the guy... nomnom... Major Klaus mentioned... nom." |
| "I'm... nomnom... Camilo... nomnom... Major Klaus'... nomnom... aide-de-camp." |
| Riku | "Don't talk with your mouth full." |
| Izumi | (Taichi's Camilo looks like he's really enjoying his food... Just watching him is making me hungry!) |
| (Ever since the ban lifted, everyone's been saying how Omi-kun's food tastes even better, so I guess that kind of helped?) |
| Eita | "That's my omurice! Give it back!" |
| Klaus | "Camilo, what are you doing?!" |
| Camilo | "Ah! Major Klaus!" |
| Riku | "You need to keep a tighter leash on him." |
| Eita | "Your guy stole my omurice! What are you gonna do about it, huh?" |
| Klaus | "Camilo..." |
| Camilo | "I'm sorry, Major, but it just smelled too good..." |
| (Eita's stomach grumbles) |
| Eita | "My omurice..." |
| Riku | "I've still got some chicken rice left, so I'll make you a new one. You'd better sweep this place until there's not one speck of dust left." |
| (Someone else's stomach grumbles...) |
| Riku | "Who is it now?" |
| Klaus | "Sorry..." |
| Riku | "Geez, when was the last time you ate?" |
| |
| Eita | "Hell yeah, chow time." |
| Klaus | "Thanks." |
| Camilo | "I feel so alive! We haven't got a cook in our barracks, so we're always going hungry." |
| Klaus | "That doesn't mean you can take someone else's food. You're no better than a thief." |
| Riku | "You're one to talk." |
| Klaus | "I already apologized, did I not..." |
| Eita | "This is really good." |
| Riku | "So, um, who are you, anyway?" |
| Eita | "Oh, did I not say? I'm Eita Nakagawa. I've been living here since I ran away from home." |
| Klaus | "And why did you do that?" |
| Camilo | "When I was around your age, I was already out of home and in the army." |
| Eita | "You're in the army? I thought you guys were just cosplayers." |
| Camilo | "What's a cost player?" |
| Riku | "Uh, anyway..." |
| |
| Eita | "Wait, they just... disappeared? How the hell...? Aren't they technically tresspassers?" |
| Riku | "You're one to talk... Anyway, you promised to clean the place, remember?" |
| Eita | "Yeah, yeah, I remember." |
| Izumi | (Klaus and Camilo start to join Riku and Eita for meals every day...) |
| |
| Klaus | "I'm very much enjoying your company at mealtimes." |
| Eita | "Okay, freeloader." |
| Riku | "You're a freeloader too, though..." |
| Camilo | "The other guys are starting to get a little suspicious 'coz we keep running off to eat Riku's food, hey, Major?" |
| Riku | "Please don't bring all of them here, too. I'll shove them back in the fridge." |
| Klaus | "That, I'll keep in mind. However, if we could somehow recreate Riku's food in our kitchen back home, we could boost everyone's morale..." |
| Takumi | "Eita! I know you're in there!" |
| Eita | "...Shit." |
| Klaus | "Who is it?" |
| Takumi | "Eita! Why won't you pick up your phone?" |
| Eita | "It's my brother..." |
| Camilo | "Your brother?" |
| Takumi | "We're going home." |
| Eita | "Let go of me!" |
| Takumi | "Mom's really worried about you." |
| Eita | "......" |
| Riku | "See ya." |
| Takumi | "Thank you for taking care of my brother, but I must ask that you not involve him in your strange affairs any longer. Please don't speak to him ever again." |
| Riku | "Fine by me. Don't you go running away from home again now, Eita." |
| Eita | "Riku!" |
| Takumi | "Let's go, Eita!" |
| Klaus | "Are you sure about that, Riku?" |
| Riku | "About what?" |
| Klaus | "That was very cold of you." |
| Riku | "That's something for their family to sort out. It's not my problem." |
| Klaus | "People your age aren't usually this unsympathetic. I feel you have the tendency to keep your distance from others." |
| Riku | "......" |
| Klaus | "Sorry, that was most uncouth of me." |
| Riku | "It's fine. I've always been this way. I can't seem to care too much for the people around me. Or anything, really." |
| Klaus | "Is that so... I hope you can find something you can truly care for. I'm sure you will." |
| Riku | "Why did you enlist in the army?" |
| Klaus | "I was born to. I come from a family of proud soldiers. I feel great honor in defending the livelihoods of our citizens with my body and soul." |
| Riku | "I can't imagine what that feels like." |
| Izumi | (Riku's detachedness and his kind nature despite that remind me of Omi-kun, when he first joined us.) |
| (The way Klaus is so proud of his profession also reminds me of someone...) |
| |
| Mita | "You sure this is the place, fam? It looks abandoned! I bet only, like, ghosts live here." |
| Eita | "I told you, I'll be fine here." |
| Mita | "Yeah, but like, the boss told me to—" |
| Riku | "Pipe down! What's going on?" |
| Mita | "Oh, heya! I'm Mita. I, like, work with Eita and stuff." |
| Riku | "He works with... a host?" |
| Mita | "Yeah, fam!" |
| Riku | "You're way too loud for this time of night." |
| Mita | "Dude, something smells totes amazing!" |
| Riku | "You can have some if you promise to be quiet." |
| Mita | "Okey-dokey!" |
| Izumi | (Banri-kun's party animal vibe is on point. You can't help but be drawn in by him. He looks like he's really enjoying Riku's food, too.) |
| |
| Klaus | "Oh, this is most excellent... Superbly so! Behold its golden crust, its delicate sweetness! O lovely dish, embodiment of rapturous ecstasy! |
| Camilo | "This stuff could start a war!" |
| Riku | "It's just a piece of French toast..." |
| Mita | "Mornin'!" |
| Riku | "You're still here?" |
| Mita | "Gotta take care of our newbie and stuff, ya know?" |
| Riku | "Don't tell me you want breakfast, too?" |
| Mita | "Ooh, yes, please!" |
| Klaus | "So Eita is now working at this... 'host club'?" |
| Camilo | "Sounds like fun! I wanna give it a try!" |
| Klaus | "Soldiers are forbidden from taking a second job." |
| Camilo | "Haha, I know." |
| Eita | "Morning." |
| Riku | "What'll you have?" |
| Eita | "Just a coffee." |
| Klaus | "Is he all right?" |
| Mita | "Ya, he just didn't get enough sleep. Could tell from a mile away. If our club were that big, anyways." |
| Klaus | "Why did you choose that job, Eita?" |
| Eita | "It's quick money, and they have a dorm." |
| Riku | "You ran away from home again?" |
| Eita | "Back off." |
| Camilo | "I think you should spend time with your family while you still can." |
| Eita | "Don't tell me what to do." |
| Camilo | "My family died in the war when I was little." |
| Eita | ...... |
| |
| Takumi | "Eita, enough is enough!" |
| Eita | "I told you to leave me alone!" |
| Klaus | "May I suggest you hear him out, rather than drag him back by force?" |
| Takumi | "This has nothing to do with you." |
| Riku | "He's just going to run away again, you know." |
| Takumi | "...!" |
| Klaus | "Hear your brother out." |
| Takumi | "...Is there anything you're unhappy with at home?" |
| Eita | "Not really." |
| Takumi | "Then why—" |
| Izumi | (With encouragement from Klaus and the others, Eita starts to reveal why he's been running away from home...) |
| (He got into a fight, and the other person's gang has been hounding him ever since.) |
| (So, he decided to stay away from home until they gave up on him.) |
| Riku | "So you're running away from home because you don't want your family to get caught in the mess?" |
| Klaus | "You're a good kid, Eita." |
| Eita | "I'm not a kid." |
| Camilo | "If that's all it is, then that makes things easier!" |
| Takumi | "Let's go to the police." |
| Mita | "You'll just make them, like, even more mad, don'tcha think?" |
| Takumi | "Then what should we do?" |
| Klaus | "We take them down. All of them." |
| Eita | "What?" |
| Riku | "If they're gone, then you won't have to worry about them going after your family, right? Problem solved." |
| Mita | "Whoo!" |
| Takumi | "That's— That's preposterous!" |
| Riku | "I could do with one less mouth to feed, anyway. Just get rid of those guys." |
| Klaus | "I'll give you a hand. I owe you, after all." |
| Camilo | "I'll help, too!" |
| Eita | "Really?" |
| Riku | "So, we're all on board? Let's go." |
| Mita | "Y'all hitting me right in the feels, man." |
| Riku | "You're coming, too. You also ate my food." |
| |
| Eita | "I told you to stay home." |
| Takumi | "I can't just abandon my brother. I also want to protect my family." |
| Eita | "Whatever you say, teacher's pet." |
| Klaus | "We'll all storm them at the same time." |
| Riku | "Yeah, we gotta get this over with while the fridge is still open." |
| Camilo | "Well, if we can't get back, I don't mind living here!" |
| Punk | "The hell're you guys here for?" |
| Eita | "You have a problem with me, don't you? Come at me." |
| Punk | "Look who it is! It's Eita Nakagawa! Get 'im, boys!" |
| (They all begin to fight) |
| Izumi | (This fight has got it all! Punks, ex-delinquents, and knights! It's all so Autumn. They look like they're having a lot of fun.) |
| (Just as Juza-kun said he wanted a new challenge, he's giving us a new kind of performance as Takumi.) |
| (You can really tell that even though Takumi's more brains than brawn, he's doing his best to protect his little brother.) |
| (Even though Juza-kun doesn't look like the studious type at first glance, his commitment to acting translates well over to Takumi's serious personality.) |
| Punk | "Ugghh..." |
| Riku | "You stay away from Eita Nakagawa now, you hear?" |
| Punk | "Y-Yes, of course!" |
| Mita | "Y'all are super strong!" |
| Klaus | "You're not bad yourself, Mita. You could become a fine fighter with the right training." |
| Mita | "Forreal?" |
| |
| Takumi | "Is Mr. Klaus not here today?" |
| Riku | "Now you're also going to join us here?" |
| Takumi | "Here's a little something from us. Our mother sends her gratitude." |
| Riku | "Uh, you told her about what we did? I mean, thanks for the groceries." |
| Eita | "Camilo's not here either. Should we go get him?" |
| Mita | "Maybe they got stuck or something?" |
| Eita | "They told us not to go to them because it's dangerous, but..." |
| Riku | "Seems to me their army's got a lot of free time, though, with how often Klaus and Camilo come here." |
| Eita | "Can't blame them. It is a nice place, even if it is in the middle of nowhere." |
| (The fridge opens) |
| Klaus | "Sorry we're late." |
| Takumi | "Speak of the devil." |
| Camilo | "I'm starving!" |
| Eita | "What, did you guys sleep in or something?" |
| Camilo | "Nah, we had work!" |
| Klaus | "We caught an agent from the neighboring kingdom. He was guilty of espionage." |
| Eita | "ESPN...?" |
| Mita | "Dude, like the sports thing?" |
| Riku | "Guys..." |
| Takumi | "It sounds like things are taking a turn for the worst." |
| Klaus | "Yes. They've also started sending more and more troops." |
| Camilo | "War's about to break out real soon." |
| Eita | "Man, seriously?" |
| Mita | "Y'all really from a different world than us, huh." |
| Klaus | "I almost forget that we are, because Riku's cooking always puts us at ease." |
| Riku | "C'mon, flattery won't get you anywhere." |
| Klaus | "I speak nothing but the truth." |
| Camilo | "Your three meals a day are the only things that I get out of bed for now!" |
| Eita | "That's a bit much, you guys." |
| Klaus | "I just thought I'd say what I'm thinking while I still can." |
| Mita | "Haha, you're so funny." |
| Takumi | "Mr. Klaus taught me all about his kingdom, and it really is a far cry from here..." |
| Riku | "......" |
| Klaus | "It's not the best, but it's also not the worst." |
| Camilo | "Anyway, let's eat before the food goes cold!" |
| |
| Riku | "Oh, Mita and the Nakagawas aren't here today... I think I made too much. Oh well, I'll just save it for another day." |
| (He opens the fridge and goes into the portal) |
| Riku | "Hey, Klaus! Camilo! Food's ready!" |
| "Huh, they're not here..." |
| Soldier | "Who goes there?!" |
| Rikua | "Whoa! Hey, wait! I'm a friend of Klaus—" |
| Soldier | "Die!" |
| (The soldier slashes at Riku) |
| Riku | "Hey, what gives?!" |
| Klaus | "Haah!" |
| (Klaus defeats the soldier) |
| Soldier | "Guaagh!" |
| Klaus | "Are you hurt, Riku?!" |
| "I had a feeling something was wrong. Glad I made it." |
| Riku | "What was that guy's problem?" |
| Klaus | "They invaded us, but they didn't send that many men. We should be able to push back. We're going to wait and see." |
| Riku | "Should I give you a hand?" |
| Klaus | "No. And don't open that fridge anymore." |
| Riku | "But, Klaus—" |
| Klaus | "Your cooking is most wonderful, Riku. Be proud of yourself." |
| (Klaus runs off, back into combat) |
| Riku | ...! |
| "What the hell? How can I just not open the fridge anymore? Don't tell me what to do..." |
| Izumi | (Riku's never been concerned for anyone before, but now he's starting to care for Klaus...) |
| |
| Eita | "This is way too salty!" |
| Takumi | "This mapo tofu is strangely sweet..." |
| Mita | "That's messed up." |
| Riku | "Oh, sorry about that." |
| Eita | "Just go help them if you're so worried about them." |
| Riku | "Huh?" |
| Takumi | "I, too, wish there were something we could do for Mr. Klaus..." |
| Riku | "We'll just be in their way if we go." |
| Eita | "How do you know? My brother insisted on going to that fight and he was fine." |
| Takumi | "Oh... Yes, it's as Eita says. Let us go lend Mr. Klaus a hand." |
| Riku | "Easier said than done." |
| Mita | "How 'bout we go just to give them this gross mapo tofu?" |
| Riku | "Man, you too? Fine, but I'm not responsible for anything that happens." |
| Izumi | (Riku seems more sure of himself now. He reminds me of Omi-kun, when he took the stage as Wolf after overcoming his troubles.) |
| |
| Soldier | "Haaagh!" |
| (The soldier slashes at Mita) |
| Mita | "Whoa!" |
| Riku | "I can't believe they're already this far in." |
| Takumi | "Things don't look very good." |
| Eita | "Maybe Klaus already..." |
| Takumi | "No, the enemy's getting desperate. They must still be fighting it out." |
| Riku | "Right. Let's find Klaus as quickly as we can so we can help him." |
| |
| Camilo | "Gghhh..." |
| Eita | "Camilo!" |
| Riku | "We're here to help!" |
| Eita | "Take that!" |
| Camilo | "Wha— Riku? Eita?" |
| Eita | "We brought some mapo tofu for you." |
| Mita | "Tastes like crap, though!" |
| Camilo | "Marble toe food...? Not sure what that is, but thanks!" |
| Riku | "Where's Klaus?" |
| Camilo | "He's been surrounded further up ahead! You gotta save him, Riku!" |
| Riku | "Got it." |
| Klaus | "Ggghh..." |
| Riku | "Klaus!" |
| Klaus | "Riku?! What are you doing here?" |
| Riku | "Didn't you know? I've started a delivery service!" |
| Soldier A | "Backup?!" |
| Soldier B | "It's fine, we still outnumber them!" |
| Klaus | "Well, now that you're here... Take that side. Do whatever you want with them!" |
| Riku | "Leave it to me." |
| Klaus | "Haaah!" |
| Riku | "Take thiiis!" |
| |
| Riku | "We pulled through, somehow." |
| Klaus | "There's still some time before the main force arrives, so we should be able to rest for a bit. You should take this time to return home, Riku." |
| Mita | "Oh, I'm gonna stay." |
| Eita | "What?!" |
| Mita | "I'm gonna, like, follow Major Klaus' footsteps and stuff!" |
| Takumi | "You should think this through first..." |
| Mita | "I just thought, like, this kinda life's pretty sick too, ya know?" |
| Klaus | "Welcome, Mita. Camilo, teach him everything you know." |
| Camilo | "What? Me?!" |
| Mita | "'Preciate it, fam!" |
| Riku | "We'll be heading back, then." |
| Klaus | "Thank you, Riku, everyone. You saved my life." |
| Riku | "You'd better not die on us." |
| Klaus | "I promise I won't. Could I visit you again, once things have settled?" |
| Riku | "Of course, but I'm going to start charging you for the food." |
| Klaus | "That's fair." |
| |
| Izumi | (One year later...) |
| Eita | "Two house special sets!" |
| Riku | "Comin' up!" |
| Klaus | "......" |
| Riku | "Welcome, sir. Unfortunately, we haven't got any seats left—" |
| Klaus | "I believe I have a reservation?" |
| Riku | "Of course. For two? Over here by the counter, please." |
| Izumi | (Riku greets Klaus and Camilo with a warm welcome...) |
| (He's never had any interest in other people, but through his cooking, he's gotten to bond with others... Just like Omi-kun.) |
| (Riku converted the inn into a restaurant, to put smiles on people's faces... That's exactly what it's like in the Mankai dorm, too.) |
| |
| Nachi's Dad | You were great, Fushimi-kun. |
| Omi | Thanks for coming today, I really appreciate it. |
| Nachi's Mom | You looked so natural preparing the food, I thought you were actually cooking up there! |
| Nachi's Dad | The action scenes were also really exciting. You've all outdone yourselves since The Stranger. |
| I can really tell that you've all been working very hard during practise. |
| Nachi's Mom | I'm sure Nachi's very happy with you, too. |
| Omi | Thank you... |
| Could I come over again for some pork miso soup, sometime? |
| Nachi's Dad | Of course! Come by any time. |
| Nachi's Mom | We said that you're like a son to us, remember? |
| Omi | I'd like to make something for you too... Something Nachi really loved. |
| Nachi's Dad | Something Nachi loved...? |
| Omi | I don't think it goes very well with pork miso soup, though... |
| Nachi's Mom | Well, we look forward to it regardless. |
| Omi | Okay! |
