1 " Y'know, suddenly I'm in the mood for salmon roe.""Huh? W-where did that come from?""C'mon, ain't they similar?""Not in the least! Sheesh! Do you not have any appreciation for the beauty of the scenery around us? 'Bread is better than the song of birds,' indeed. Goodness gracious.""Hey! That's not what I meant. I do think the scenery is pretty. It's just that noshing on these salmon-skin crisps made me think of it, that's all.""Oh goodness. The strange places your mind goes. *giggle*"That's weird.Before, all it took was the mere mention of Yukihira's name or a glimpse of his face to utterly ruin my mood.Realizing that he's the son of Chef Saiba, the one man I admire most, felt as if the precious memories of my youth were suddenly tarnished.Yet here I am, sitting and chatting with him in this small cabin...And honestly...... it isn't all that bad.

2 " If only you hadn't intervened, Miss Erina! Then these ruffians would have flunked out like the insignificant third-rate cooks that they are!Listen, you lot! You only survived because of Miss Erina's mercy! Without a magnanimous Nakiri there to hold your filthy hands, you wouldn't have-""You are incorrect, sir.All I did was teach them the special properties a potato holds. How to use those potatoes and the inspiration to make Gosetsu Udon Noodles was entirely theirs.Remember this well, sir.These chefs...... are of much too high a caliber to fail because of the likes of you."No! This is not how it was supposed to be! The Resisters were not supposed to be this organized!! This unified! And with this level of leadership, they won't easily be divided and conquered!It... it's almost as if Jeanne d'Arc herself was reincarnated!"Come. Follow me."A Holy Lady Knight leading an army...... to wrench control of the Totsuki Institute away from Central! "
3 " As the Divine Tongue, I came here not only to perform my duties as a taster... but also to meet with various authority figures and key members of the culinary industry. Someday, I will shoulder both the Nakiri family as well as Japan's culinary world. It was imperative that I be shown off so as to impress upon the right people that I was a person to be respected and followed.It was simply a business transaction, one meant to further Nakiri interests. Whenever I left the Nakiri mansion, it was always for some official business like that.Looking back on it now... I think that the young me was so used to being led around that she never tried to look at things for herself.""That can't be right. Um... as the daughter of the Mito Group... I got to officially meet with you a time or two when we were both kids. Even back then, I thought you were amazing, Miss Erina. A-as another kid from a big business family... I know what you're going through.""Mito?""Um! N-not to imply that my family is anywhere near as important as the Nakiris! And I'd never do anything so rude and disrespectful as imply that the two of us are in any way equal! It's just... I know what it's like to be bound by family duty."I will not have the Mito family heir showing any signs of meek girliness! Listen, Ikumi. You must be strong! Think of nothing else!"But in my case, the pressure from my family got to be too much. It overwhelmed me, and, well... I kinda went off the rails until recently.You had to be under way more pressure than I ever was, Miss Erina. But you always appeared graceful and acted with dignity. "
