Chapter 1, Scene 5.


 * Just before dinner, while Muzuri awaited for the meal to begin, the cook rushed out.


 * Cook: "My Lord. There's a little story about the "baemu"......"


 * So that Meguru sitting next to Muzuri wouldn't hear, he whispered in his ear.


 * Muzuri: "What? Is there a problem?"


 * Cook: "Yeah...... Could you come over to the kitchen?"


 * Muzuri went with him there and he saw the skin-peeled, and dismantled baemu. But the cook didn't want to show him the baemu's pathetic appearance.


 * Cook: "This here."


 * He held out a wine glass, semi-transparent (translucent?) and stained with a faint red hue.


 * Cook: "This glass came out of the baemu's stomach."


 * Muzuri: "Did the pig swallow a wine glass or something?"


 * Cook: "I guess. That alone is a funny story but...... what's even stranger is that the wine glass apparently isn't chipped or melted despite being in the stomach."


 * Muzuri: "Oh..... I see." He raised up the wine glass up high.


 * The dirt was probably washed away with water in advanced. The glass is very beautiful and it didn't smell at all. Like the head chef said, it didn't seem to have been damaged.


 * It was little more than a decoration, but Muzuri discerned that it was made by a very talented craftsman. Completely symmetrical; beautiful curves. And to not have any distortion up til now wasn't anything Muzuri had ever seen.


 * Muzuri: "......Perhaps the pig really is a "messenger from god"."


 * Cook: "......?"


 * "Head Cook. What is this problem of yours?"


 * Cook: "Huh!? ....... Well. At first glance, the glass doesn't seem to be lacking anything, but the possibility can't be denied that perhaps some invisible debris has been stuck somewhere in the stomach."


 * Muzuri: "So, we won't eat it?"


 * Cook: "At least in respect to the stomach. You are likely to hurt the inside of your mouth if the debris debris enters your body, My Lord.....In the worst case, money would be invol"


 * Muzuri: "Isn't it your job to ensure that doesn't happen?"


 * Cook: "Of course, I'm going to cook it with great care. But, if by any chance"


 * Muzuri: "Damn it all. If I die eating the baemu, it'll be my long-cherished ambition."


 * Cook: "......Master, your daughter was just born. Please, for your darling"


 * Muzuri: "If I die, tell Banica, "Your father died seeking the greatest food and was a wonderful man," when she grows up."


 * Cook: "...... I understand."


 * The cook gave up trying to persuade him. Every resident in the household knew how stubborn Muzuri got when it came to food.


 * Muzuri: "I suppose we'll drink the apertif with this wine glass. Have you prepared wine?"


 * Cook: "Yes. Elphegort-made "Yatski Lopera"."


 * Muzuri: "That's right. The Yatski Lopera we had trouble sending for from Elphegort."


 * Muzuri began to leave with the wine glass then suddenly turned back and unexpectedly asked: "Ah yes. Have you tried eating any of the baemu?"


 * Cook: "......Yes. I decided to taste a part of the liver in putty(?)."


 * Muzuri: "And, how was it?"


 * Cook: "Of all the food that I have eaten so farIt has the best taste."


 * Muzuri: "All right. Keep on cooking. I'm looking forward to it."


 * After that, Muzuri returned to the dining hall with an expectant smile.
