"Hello, please."
Licia was a little nervous to see such a distinguished group of people.
However, when Jin told her that it would be great to have collaborators in each country, she felt nervous as if she were representing the Kingdom of Klein.

Bina joined the conversation.
"My brother and sisters might not have been cured of their illnesses, and we might not have met Louis. I might not have ...... been able to pay my debts and I might have sold myself by now. ......"

"But that was Count Galana's fault.

His lack of social standing was a disadvantage in such a case.

"I've never seen this before!"
Bertsche's interest was caught by the yellowtail radish (a fish similar to yellowtail).

Boil the daikon slices in rice water for about 10 minutes.
Put yellowtail and daikon into a pot, add water, soy sauce, sugar, mirin and grated ginger.
Mirin (sweet cooking rice wine) is recently developed. It is the result of a trial-and-error process using glutinous rice and shochu (distilled spirit).

Vivien loves miso soup.
This time she is serving miso soup with kurumu clams.
It has a nice broth by itself, but when combined with a kelp-based broth, it is very special.
