Including waiter narration sections, Chapter 1 has 13 scenes total. So that'll make the scene I translated before Scene 12. Here's Scene 11 (pure narration):


 * Soon, 9 years and six months passed since they ate the baemu. They only had to last another half a year before they met the mages 10 year deadline. They just kept eating since then.


 * It was a painful experience the Muzuri of old could never have envisioned happening. It was a day-to-day experience of suffering. But soon, it would be over. They would be freed of the demon's curse. -They should be.


 * In those nine and a half years, Muzuri was driven by impulse to eat broken mirror debris and stones from the road (I think) and eventually even candle flame. He was eating more meat and vegetables than usual too. He wondered if he would be freed of these impulses, that the symptoms would actually subside in six more months.

That sucks. He's basically had to resist eating pretty much anything that could kill him while satiating an insufferable appetite for 10 years.


 * Since that day he first appeared at the mansion, that mage never returned. He wasn't witnessed in town either. Regardless, his teachings of Gula's lore were the same as what they had. There was no choice but to believe him.


 * The number of employees was now considerably less. Many died of Gula or (I think) eating something inedible. Muzuri had to make greater sacrifices, however. He had completely lost his popularity with the people,


 * When it caused revolts, his territory fell into disorder (I think; this may just be a "may/would" sentence). But it was necessary for them to fulfill the diseases requirements


 * Once it was cured, there would likely be no atonement. Muzuri was also prepared to lose his current position.


 * Meguru had become very odd. Her kind heart was gone. She became aggressive (behavior-wise) and direct the blunt of her anger towards their daughter, Banica.


 * Banica was docile, or rather, had grown up as a gloomy child. Fearing her mother, she had recently ate silently and he barely saw her (I think...............?). But she was alive and that was enough for Muzuri. Even if he lost everything, he would at least have his family.


 * If they can just keep eating in a quiet place (I think......?), Meguru will be able to return to her original personality. Not much longer. Six more months, and it will all be over.


 * Muzuri's only concern was that the days had been colder than usual in the territory, no the Beelzenian Empire recently. They would enter the harvest soon but he's received reports that the crops aren't growing as they expected.


 * Even if a famine occurs, there should be stockpiles in the other Beelzenian territories, so it shouldn't ause a lot of trouble for them. But, the Conchita territory can't afford that to happen. Every year, they've been squeezing all the food from the people and nearly exhausted any potential food reserves.

Scene end. So yeah, Muzuri's heavy taxes definitely seem to bite him in the butt when the famine hits.

So taking the Revised PV into account, I am under the impression that they had to wait 10 years from March [day] for Gula to subside.

When the harvest occurred in January, two months prior, there was a crop failure from the cold weather and then pestilence on the livestock.

4 months before that, in September, this scene shows they're dealing with rather cold weather (for Summer/Fall) and it causing concerns for the crops growth and survival for that year.
