Nero: Hey, what’d you call that soup... y’know, the one you made with submerged algae that time.

Akira: Oh, you mean the miso soup?

Nero: That’s the one. I was thinking of coming up with a new dish based on it. The food from your world is really unique, and it’s great inspiration for new dishes.

Akira: It’s just like you to be so excited about coming up with new recipes.

Nero: When it comes to cooking I can’t help but be curious ‘bout all these stuff.

Akira: Are there any other dishes from my world you’re interested in?

Nero: Hm...guess it’ll be the one you were eating for breakfast the other day. You said it was called Natto, right?

Akira: Oh, yes! Are you able to recreate it?

Nero: It really depends, what kind of dish is it?

Akira: It’s a kind of soybean that’s really sticky, and has a stringy texture.

Nero: Does that mean it’s...rotten?

Akira: Technically, it is. But it’s really good for your health.

Nero: T-Though it’s rotten?!

Akira: It’s not really rotten, but rather, fermented. So in theory, it’s something like cheese.

Nero: Oh, I get it. If you look at it that way, it doesn’t sound all that bad.

Nero:....But is that really something you’d eat for breakfast?

Akira: Yes, it’s commonly served with Nori.

Nero: Nori?

Akira: Um, it’s a black and paper-like…

Nero: ? ? ?

Akira: (The gap in our cultural differences is too big…)
