30. to break her will!Copy !req
31. Princess.Copy !req
32. Is there no way to get you to reveal
the Royal Empire's secrets?Copy !req
33. Save your breath.Copy !req
34. Her Highness is not only a princess, but
Commander of the Imperial Third Legion.Copy !req
35. She would not so easily
divulge imperial secrets.Copy !req
36. Is that so?Copy !req
37. In that case, though it pains me greatly...Copy !req

you to full-blown torture.Copy !req

body, but I will keep my silence.Copy !req

plan to do with that?Copy !req
57. Don't tell me you plan on
enticing her with food!Copy !req

59. Looks yummy...Copy !req
60. Your Highness?Copy !req
61. D-Don't get me wrong, Ex!Copy !req
62. I'm not feeling tempted at all!Copy !req
63. I simply gave my honest impression
of how good it looks!Copy !req
64. All human beings would feel the same way!Copy !req
65. So I definitely didn't give
in to temptation here...Copy !req
66. Slow down!Copy !req
67. I would never give in to
the likes of mere toast!Copy !req
68. Ah, I can see it...Copy !req

76. You've got it wrong, Ex!Copy !req
77. This is, um, you know!Copy !req

79. What I mean is not what you're thinking!Copy !req
80. It's something else entirely!Copy !req

82. That's what I'm talking about!Copy !req
83. Please wipe the drool off your face.Copy !req
84. Shh.Copy !req
85. I-I can hear it!Copy !req
86. It sounds...Copy !req
87. It sounds so tasty!Copy !req
88. The crunchy, flame-seared surface.Copy !req
89. A little burnt, which only makes it better!Copy !req
90. As it's torn open, it refuses to stay
silent and emits those dulcet tones!Copy !req
91. And its chewy, moist interior!Copy !req
92. Thank you!Copy !req
93. Thank you, tasty sounds!Copy !req
94. A hearty meal for the ears!Copy !req
95. Your Highness?Copy !req

105. That has to taste amazing!Copy !req
106. I'll talk...Copy !req
107. I see.Copy !req
108. So that's the weak point
of the Imperial Army.Copy !req
109. Your Highness...Copy !req
110. It appears to be reliable information.Copy !req
111. I did it.Copy !req
112. I spilled the beans.Copy !req
113. So let me have some toast.Copy !req
114. Just one slice.Copy !req
115. One slice is all I ask for!Copy !req
116. One slice?Copy !req
117. What are you saying?Copy !req
118. You've already divulged your secrets.Copy !req
119. In other words, we're done with you.Copy !req
120. You won't get just one slice...Copy !req
121. We'll throw a toast party!Copy !req
122. Yay!Copy !req

132. Understood.Copy !req
133. We will delay the princess's releaseCopy !req
134. until I obtain information

yesterday, she's all bready today!Copy !req

153. Don't kid me with that takoyaki!Copy !req
154. Like I said, Her Highness
is all bready for you!Copy !req
155. Besides, Her Highness was
raised on the finest meals,Copy !req

by such low-brow food!Copy !req

210. That's right.Copy !req
211. Attendant to the Hell-LordCopy !req
212. KanadgeCopy !req
213. He said, "I'm too scared to
use a weapon that powerful."Copy !req
214. I see.Copy !req
215. I suppose that's that if he's scared.Copy !req
216. I shall have to come up
with a different torture.Copy !req

224. I do apologize.Copy !req
225. However, I chose this time for a reason.Copy !req
226. I've got it, Ex.Copy !req
227. She must plan on using sleep
deprivation to torture me.Copy !req
228. I see!Copy !req
229. It's true that sleep deprivation would
be excruciating for the average person.Copy !req
230. However, Your Highness is Princess and
Commander of the Imperial Third Legion.Copy !req
231. You've faced fierce battlefields
with no room to rest,Copy !req
232. fighting for nights on end without sleep.Copy !req
233. Yeah.Copy !req
234. I also pulled four all-nighters in
a row once playing video games.Copy !req
235. You can leave that part out!Copy !req
236. Anyway, I'm used to going without sleep!Copy !req
237. I can handle however
many hours you throw at me!Copy !req
238. Unfortunately, Princess, today's torture
does not involve depriving you of sleep.Copy !req
239. What?Copy !req
240. This smell! This warmth!Copy !req
241. This devastating power!Copy !req
242. S-Surely you wouldn't!Copy !req
243. Not this late at night!Copy !req
244. Ramen?Copy !req
245. Growl...Copy !req

247. My stomach was getting ready to go to sleep,Copy !req
248. but it's bolted awake from the visual
stimulation and smell of the ramen!Copy !req
249. My stomach is like an
excited little kid now!Copy !req
250. StomachCopy !req
251. Gimme that ramen!Copy !req
252. You mustn't, Your Highness!Copy !req
253. Take a closer look!Copy !req
254. That's not just any ramen!Copy !req
255. That rich and creamy ramen broth!Copy !req
256. Eating that this late at
night is bad for you!Copy !req
257. You'll upset your stomach!Copy !req
258. Ex, I know all too well...Copy !req
259. How criminal it is to eat ramen
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
260. How stupid it is.Copy !req
261. The inevitable guilt.Copy !req
262. That's what makes it taste so good!Copy !req
263. Your Highness!Copy !req
264. 'Tis time to eat.Copy !req
265. I want some!Copy !req
266. Stay strong, Your Highness!Copy !req

271. Kill me now.Copy !req
272. Seriously?Copy !req
273. Your Highness, have a little patience.Copy !req
274. Ramen is a meal enjoyed quickly.Copy !req
275. Which means the torture shouldn't last long.Copy !req
276. Y-You're right, Ex.Copy !req
277. Besides, I've gotten used to
the ramen's impact.Copy !req
278. I'll tough it out.Copy !req
279. I will never give in!Copy !req
280. What?Copy !req
281. A small bowl of rice?Copy !req
282. Y-You fiend!Copy !req
283. Just what are you planning?Copy !req
284. Topping that piping hot rice with
chili bean paste and garlic,Copy !req
285. and wrapping it up in the nori
that's soaked up the ramen broth!Copy !req
286. She ate it!Copy !req
287. Your Highness?Copy !req
288. Y-Y-Your Highness?Copy !req
289. Your Highness!Copy !req
290. Firm noodles, extra dashi,
spinach topping...Copy !req
291. She's putting in an order
while turning white as ash!Copy !req
292. The princess
confessedCopy !req
293. Delish!Copy !req
294. It's almost closing time, so these scrap
ends of pork chashu are on the house.Copy !req
295. Awesome!Copy !req
296. This is the best part of eating at late-night
ramen shops right before they close!Copy !req
297. We're in a prison cell.Copy !req
298. Well?Copy !req
299. Was His Majesty pleased with the
secret I brought him today?Copy !req
300. What?Copy !req
301. Ah...Copy !req
302. Yes, as always.Copy !req
303. Yes.Copy !req
304. I'll do my best tomorrow.Copy !req
305. Grand Inquisitor.Copy !req
306. Why don't you leave tomorrow's
torture session to us?Copy !req
307. You two!Copy !req
308. Bread... Takoyaki... Ramen...Copy !req
309. Flour is so great!Copy !req
310. The greatest!Copy !req
311. It's here!Copy !req
312. That can't be!Copy !req
313. The monster came this way to attack us?Copy !req
314. We're not prepared to go into combat!Copy !req
315. Looks like we're in luck.Copy !req
316. What?Copy !req
317. We've been saved a half-day's
worth of walking.Copy !req
318. I can go home early and play video games!Copy !req
319. After I save that character, should
I tackle the Blazing Dungeon?Copy !req
320. No, there was that subquest
that caught my eye.Copy !req
321. Ex Seque Duel!Copy !req
322. I might be able to get
a rare item out of it!Copy !req
323. That definitely comes first!Copy !req
324. Your Highness!Copy !req
325. All that sudden movement after drinking
water gave me a stitch on my side.Copy !req
326. It hurts like hell.Copy !req
327. So much pain, but everyone's looking at me.Copy !req
328. I can't let them know I have a side stitch.Copy !req
329. It'd affect the soldiers' morale.Copy !req
330. I know.Copy !req
331. I heard that stretching can help the pain.Copy !req
332. A shout of victory!Copy !req
333. Princess! Princess! Princess!Copy !req
334. Nope.Copy !req
335. Stretching doesn't stop
it from hurting like hell.Copy !req
