The Restaurant of Many Ingredients

The Restaurant of Many Ingredients is a song released by Akuno-P on August 18, 2024 in the album of the same name. It focuses on the chef Mister Dog as he contemplates his past actions and present circumstances within Evil's Theater II.

Plot[]

Fry Kitchen strokes his crest as he grumbles about being covered in flour. Being the first time he had ever done something like this, he thinks about how this life isn't bad, despite being made into an undead servant; the stacks of money piled up on his desk didn't mean anything, in the end. As he smells charred meat, he prays that he won't be next.

Pork Chop set off on his own after a life filled with boredom, bidding farewell to his 23 siblings. Despite feeling like he should be happy, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Snuffling and snorting as he cuts vegetables, he acknowledges how he's gotten used to holding a knife after chopping up countless individuals, though he can't hold a candle to his "blockhead cousins." As the bear eyes him up, he prays that he won't become its prey.

Chateau Briand declared that he wouldn't mind being eaten, as long as it was by the one he admired. However, being unable to speak to and save them "that day," his regrets follow him even now. He had gathered his courage and applied to become their 16th cook, only to find their mansion an empty husk. Now things were different than they used to be, though some things remained the same. As he ponders this, he sees a listless red cat patting a hunk of meat.

Gazing upon his pupils and their clumsy techniques, Mister Dog feels the kitchen he stands in bringing back long-forgotten memories of his past. He questions if he had once wished to travel the world and make food for someone. As more guests come bustling into the restaurant, Mister Dog reaches for the new ingredient he had prepared; the flower of happiness, with a vibrant red color, would work perfectly as a spice for the main dish. Looking upon his apprentices once again, he knows he will have to select one to become the dish's main ingredient, though he isn't lacking in choice. He then reiterates that this is his restruant, filled with many ingredients.

Lyrics[]

全身白髪だらけだと
赤いとさかを撫でながら
フライ・キッチンがぼやく
石臼での粉挽きなど
生まれて初めて　昔は
そんな身分じゃなかった

屍用人に身を落としても
家畜の姿に変わっても
意外と気分は悪くない
今になって気がついたのさ
机に積まれた札束など
何の意味も無かったんだと

肉の焦げた匂いが漂う
次は自分じゃない事を祈る

ずっとうんざりしてたのさ
２３人の兄弟ども
ようやく別れを告げて
ポーク・チョップは独立した
嬉しい事のはずなのに
何故だか少し寂しい

鼻を鳴らして野菜を切る
刃物の扱いは慣れたものさ
何人も刻んできたから
希代の始末屋だったのに
今じゃのろまの従兄弟にさえも
頭があがりゃしないのさ

熊の瞳がこっちを見ている
獲物が自分じゃない事を祈る

憧れのあの方にならば
食べられても構いませんわ
シャトー・ブリアンは言い切った
あの日話しかけられなくて
助ける事が出来なかった
後悔は今も残る

１６人目のコックになる
決意して門をたたいたけど
既に屋敷はもぬけの殻
今ではもうあの時とは
全てが変わってしまったけど
変わらないものだってあるの

けだるげな赤猫をみかける
自分のお腹の肉をなでる

たどたどしい手つきの料理
行う弟子たちの姿を
俺は無言で眺める
昔のことなど忘れた
それでもこの調理場には
懐かしい匂いがする

誰かと旅をし料理をする
それがかつて自分が望んだ
生活だったのだろうか
店をにぎわす異界の客
彼らのために用意された
新たな食材を手に取る

幸せの花は赤く綺麗で
メインディッシュのスパイスに最適

再び弟子たちに目をやる
選ばなければならない
メインディッシュの食材を
不足で困る事は無い
ここはとても食材の多い
ミスター・ドッグの料理店

As he strokes his red crest,
Fry Kitchen grumbles that he's covered
Head to toe in white hairs
This is the first time in his life
That he's ever ground flour with a stone mortar
This hadn't been his standing in life in the past

Though he'd stooped to the position of undead servant
Though his form had changed to that of livestock
It actually isn't all that bad
It was now that he realized
That stacks of money piled up on a desk
Don't really mean anything

The smell of charred meat wafts through the air
He prays that he isn't next

He'd always been so bored and fed up
So after finally bidding farewell
To his 23 siblings
Pork Chop had set out on his own
This should have been a happy thing
But somehow it was a little lonesome

He cuts vegetables while snuffling and snorting
He's gotten used to holding a knife
Since he's chopped up countless people
He'd once been uncommonly stingy
But nowadays he can't even hold a candle
To those blockhead cousins of his

The bear's eyes are looking his way
He prays that he's not its prey

Chateau Briand had declared that
As long as it was by the one he admired
He wouldn't mind being eaten
He hadn't been able to speak to them that day
And so couldn't save them
His regrets linger even now

He'd become the 16th cook
Though he had mustered his will and applied for an apprenticeship
The mansion was already an empty husk
And now everything
Is different from the way things were then
Yet there are some things that haven't changed

He spies a listless looking red cat
It pats the meat of his belly

I wordlessly gaze upon
The sight of my pupils
Carrying out their clumsy cooking techniques
I've forgotten most of my past
Even so, this kitchen
Has a scent that brings back memories

To go traveling with someone, and make food with them
Wasn't that the life that I had once
Wished to have?
These guests from the parallel world bustling through the restaurant,
I reach for the new ingredient
That I've prepared for them

The flower of happiness is a lovely red
It'll be a perfect spice for the main dish

Again he looks toward his apprentices
He'll have to select
The main ingredient for the main dish
He isn't lacking in choice
This is Mister Dog's restaurant
Of many ingredients
