Title card pops up, and this chapter is called My Friend! I Give This Chocolate to You!
Camera
then tunes in as Shirou finishes up with whatever he was working on,
then asks how you guys are doing. Kengo has something put together, but
he’s made a mess of the cream. Shirou looks at it and says it’s so
unshapely and warped. He asks if he can follow a recipe.
Kengo
gets defensive and says Shirou’s cake is perfectly cut. Ryouta finishes
his cake and has extra cream on his. You finish up too, and you can
either say it’s done, call it your special cake, or say you put your
feelings into it, though it didn’t come out looking right.
All
in all, you guys have eight cakes lined up, half of which is handmade
by each of you guys in the gang. Except for Touji, which Kengo complains
about. Ryouta says Touji still has cafe work, so it’s not like he can
step away just yet.
Anyways, Ryouta says
he’s getting thirsty, so he asks if you guys want anything. He also asks
Kenta to come help carry, who agrees and says it’ll be fine because
Inugami will be with him. Shinya walks over to ask how the cake making
is going, saying yours looks good. You say it’s thanks to him, say he’s
good at teaching, or say you’re happy to see him again.
Going
with A, Shinya says he wasn’t expecting you guys to come to the
handmade sweets area and make cakes. He says he’s glad he learned how to
make Chouji’s cake, then comments that it doesn’t seem like you guys
are taking the ones you made home.
You tell
him you need them for a meeting you guys are having and that people are
waiting for them. He finds that surprising and asks if there’s
something wrong. You tell him what’s up, and you do have the option to
ask to talk to him as a friend in A. He’ll be happy if you go with that
option.
Anyways Shinya gets brought up to
speed with Behemoth’s inability to taste things, then sums it up as
Behemoth’s power not transforming everything he eats when he tastes
something. You tell him you don’t know why that is yet as you tilt your
head.
Shinya asks if you know what
Behemoth’s class is. You think on it and say you never heard what it was
straight out and ask what classes/roles even are. Shinya reminds you
that classes indicate how any given power works. If it doesn’t do
anything to a target, then the class says it doesn’t need to use the
power on it. He suggests it’s something to think about if you’re looking
for answers.
You thank Shinya and say
you’ll keep it mind, or you wonder who would benefit from a power being
restricted and why that would happen. Going with the latter, Shinya says
that power given to someone is meant for the world, and that world is
meant to continue on. By abiding by a class and using their power to
protect who or what they want to protect, things will go on as above.
Shinya
gets surprised and asks you to forget what he just said. You then
either invite Shinya to your group meeting or say you want to hang out
with him, and that you’d be happy to hang out with friends.
Going
with A, Shinya thanks you but declines since he still needs to help out
here. There’s another reason, but he notices something and asks you to
let him hide first. His fan club stampedes in looking for him since they
want to give him their chocolates, then leave just as quickly looking
for him. Shinya pops back up and says he might cause you problems. He’s
happy you invited him though.
You either
say you’d be sad if someone said you were a problem, say you’ll invite
him next time, or say you’re happy too. Going with B, he thanks you
again and says he’ll see you later as your stuff here seems done.
Scene
shifts to some kitchen as Ryouta comes back with drinks for everyone.
Kenta says it was even more crowded than before, but he’s okay. Kengo
says it’s good you guys got this place and asks if you needed a
reservation. Shirou says he talked to someone, so they lent you guys the
place until the next reservation. There’s not that much time, so he
suggests starting quick. He also tells you guys to be ready to move if
something happens.
Kengo gets excited and
asks if he’s gonna make something happen. Shirou says to not jinx it and
to stop looking so happy about that. He’s trying to make sure something
doesn’t happen here. Ryouta says both Touji and Moritaka still have
work to do so they can’t be here yet.
Kenta
offers some juice to Ziz and Behemoth. She thanks him and asks which
one Behemoth wants, but he’s already chugging one down. Anyways Shirou
moves things along and asks if they’re ready.
Shirou
starts off the meeting by going over everything that’s happened so far.
Ryouta talks about the Welcome Sweets, which he thought was nice, but
Behemoth tasted nothing from them. Kengo says the stuff you guys brought
in is next. He doesn’t remember anything about them, but they didn’t
seem to do anything either.
Ziz says the
first thing to have a taste is Surtr’s cake. Behemoth says it was great
and wants some of it again, which Kenta agrees with. Next thing to work
is Shino’s sweets while the Seven Colored Manju did nothing. And then
there was Touji’s chocolate from not too long ago.
Behemoth
says the chocolate and Shino’s nerikiri were rich and mouthwatering and
asks if there’s a lot of those in Tokyo. Shirou says that everything
else Behemoth ate had no taste. With that recap done, Shirou wants to
start with figuring out the reason and beginning with the ingredients.
Under
that line of logic, Shirou has an investigation done for the
ingredients used in the places you guys went to for this event, saying
they could have come from different suppliers. Or something like how
what’s called a tomato here is some sort of ambulatory monster in
another world. This is something he had a detective do for him, and he
apologizes to them for the sudden request.
Nomad
walks and complains about how little time he had to do it, but he says
it couldn’t have been done if it was done by someone not on his level.
Ryouta is surprised and asks if he was waiting outside the door. Nomad
says when he’s hired as a detective he does it right, then hands over a
report of his findings.
Ryouta thanks him
and gives him a coffee. Nomad takes it and thanks him back thinking it’s
bitter, only to find it’s sweet. Shirou flips through the papers and
says that everything Behemoth ate seems to have all come from the same
place, so the next thing to check is the methods things were made with.
Shirou
says there’s one conclusion from this but figures everyone’s caught on
already. Kengo says he has and brings up that everything was handmade,
and Ziz says her sandwiches are handmade too. She then asks what lets
Behemoth taste things in that case. Ryouta thinks a bit before getting
an idea.
Shirou decides now is the time to
try an experiment with two chocolate cakes. The ingredients and recipe
are the same, and Shirou has already tasted both and says they’re good.
There is one difference between them though. Behemoth asks if he’ll
taste something if he eats them, and Shirou says he’s not sure yet. But
it should provide information at least.
Behemoth
tries out a cake with some trepidation, shoving it into his mouth and
eating slowly for once. After he swallows, he says he can taste the cake
in surprise. Ziz is surprised too and points things out about the cake
he had, and Shirou says it’s the same as the cake Harlot liked from
Chouji’s shop. The same cake Behemoth said he couldn’t taste.
Behemoth
asks why that is, and Shirou stays quiet. Ryouta says that how sweets
come out is 80% portions and methods while the last 20% is the feelings
you put in for the one eating it, which is something Chouji tells him a
lot. Shirou then says that the difference between the cakes is that you
hoped Behemoth would like it when you made yours.
You
say you made it, say you were thinking of him, or say you’re happy to
hear him say it tastes good. He’s surprised you did it for him, and
Shirou wonders if Shino and Touji made their things for someone special
too. Kengo asks about Surtr’s cake then.
Shirou
guesses that based on another guess, Surtr might have thought about a
lot of people when making his cake. Ryouta thinks it makes sense, and
Shirou goes on to say he thinks it’s certain that what Behemoth tastes
are feelings. Ziz says she’s heard of the expression “cooking is love,”
which she thinks is sweet.
Behemoth goes
quiet, so you ask him what’s wrong and say he looks like he’ll cry. He
says he never knew feelings tasted so great, but now he’s gone and
devoured them all. Adding to that, he now gets the feeling he caused a
lot of trouble for people, ever since he came to Tokyo. You tell him
you’re the same and that you had help from lots of people, giving him a
rundown of your life so far in the game.
He’s
surprised at first, then is happy to hear that. He talks about being at
the park when he came to, and that he and Ziz are the same too. You
suggest apologizing to people later and making thank you candy to give
out together, which he agrees to and says your cake is awesome again.
Kengo
talks to you and says something seems off from what Shirou said. It’s
not about the feelings creating taste thing, but he doesn’t understand
it well himself. He doesn’t question it because his lightning works
under the same idea. But then he realizes what he’s trying to get at and
brings up the thing with Chouji. You ask if he means the cafeteria bit,
which he confirms.
Kengo says that since
he didn’t think it was Behemoth then, he’s never said anything about it
to Shirou. But anyways Chouji was trying to make stuff for Behemoth, so
he asks if Behemoth tasted anything then. He doubts Chouji wouldn’t have
put any feelings into his food, so what gives?
Behemoth
and Ziz aren’t listening, and Ziz congratulates Behemoth for being able
to eat things aside from her sandwiches. She goes to hug him, and he
asks her to stop because he’s embarrassed by her doing it in front of
other people. She says she’s just happy.
Ryouta
says this will be a party then with the cakes you guys made for
Behemoth and takes away the one he won’t taste anything from. Behemoth
thanks him, and Ryouta tells everyone to dig in. You can talk to Shirou
or Kengo about how delicious their cakes are or say Ryouta’s cake has a
lot of volume. In Shirou’s case, he thanks you and is relieved. If you
liked it he says he had another one made for you that he was going to
give you, but he backs off and asks everyone to have a taste.
The
party comes to a halt when Behemoth takes a bite and says he doesn’t
taste anything. Ryouta is shocked by this, and Behemoth grabs another
cake without thinking about it. He tries them all, but nothing has a
taste to him. He eventually starts going berserk.
Shirou
asks why this is happening, so you tell him what you were talking about
with Kengo. He briefly wonders if he made a mistake, but he discards
that idea and tries to think. You say you think the idea about feelings
and taste is right but something is missing, so you call to Ziz. You ask
her what Behemoth’s class role is or ask her to tell you what hers is.
Shirou
has a eureka moment as he says classes and concepts are connected, so
knowing what Behemoth’s class is might make figuring out his power
easier. Ziz dithers about telling you, and Behemoth yells about eating
more. Shirou asks Ziz too and says she’s the only one here who knows
Behemoth’s past. Ryouta adds in his plea too, saying he wants to eat
together with Behemoth. She seems touched by this, and you either ask
her to tell you or stay quiet and look at her.
Ziz
looks at you, then sees something in your eyes. She says it’s the same
shine as Behemoth did that day, then asks if you’re the same. The same
as him and her. You either try to talk to her or stay quiet. Ziz says
you might not have noticed yet, but she knows the color of that shine
since she’s always by Behemoth. She wonders if she’s luckier than you.
Ziz
says that the three of them were able to go one without knowing the
loneliness of isolation. Shirou doesn’t know what she’s talking about,
so she apologizes for remembering some old things, then says she’ll tell
you about Behemoth and herself.
Ziz starts
by bringing Behemoth of Gluttony, herself of Protection, and the
currently absent Leviathan of Envy. The three of them were born from the
world of Eden and were sacrifices cast out to Gehenna to start with.
You being up that Azazel had brought the topic up earlier about the ones
thrown out of the walls of the world.
Ziz
says that Eden throws out people who don’t adhere to its beliefs, and
that one of the places exiles go to is the world of abandonment Gehenna.
Behemoth was made to gather energy and be offered to Eden some time
into the future. Leviathan was made to be jealous of anyone he sees in
front of him. So he ate like Behemoth until they were set against each
other, and both of them fell.
Ziz was
supposed to protect everything outside their battle, but she fell
herself. She thinks she was made to stay with both of them until the end
but keep anyone else from being involved. Their bodies were supposed to
collected by Eden as offerings, but when Ziz came to she and Behemoth
were summoned to Tokyo and survived.
You
ask about Leviathan, but she doesn’t know what happened to him. She does
think she saw him being split into two identical looking bodies and
disappearing into a Gate to somewhere else. She says it sounded like the
world was being torn, and she hopes he was summoned to another place
like they did. She then laughs and says if he joined up with someone, he
probably envied them. But still she thinks that’s cute.
Ziz
says that’s all she knows and apologizes for not being able to say any
more. Shirou thanks her and apologizes for making her remember terrible
things. He then turns to you and says he’s picked up on something from
the conversation, something Behemoth can’t turn into energy. Or maybe
some feelings he can’t transform.
He
wonders what it could be, but Behemoth yells. Kengo says Behemoth is
getting bigger and could either crush the room or you guys. Shirou asks
Ziz for her basket because that might stop Behemoth or make him settle
down. Shinya walks in to remind you the next group is almost ready to
use the room after you guys.
The moment
Shinya opens the door, Behemoth pushes Kengo down and rolls out. Shinya
asks if you guys are okay, and Kengo gets back up saying he can’t get
Behemoth into a joint lock. Ryouta says you guys have to go after him,
and Shirou asks Shinya what else is happening here.
Shinya
says there’s a chocolate making group that he was supervising in place
of Chouji. Kengo says you have to go now before Behemoth gets any worse,
but you can hear screaming from outside.
Behemoth
is zipping around stealing chocolates from some of Shinya’s fans. He
still has some sanity left to apologize but says he can’t stop himself.
He cries as he eats them asking why he can’t taste anything, all the
while fattening up faster than he ever did. You comment that he doesn’t
taste anything after all, ask why that is, or ask about it turning to
energy anyway.
Ryouta asks what would
happen if this continues. Ziz says Behemoth will continue to store all
the energy he eats and suggests something terrible would happen if he
takes in too much. Leviathan could have stopped him for going any
further, but now no one is capable of physically doing so. Shirou says
you guys might be able to stop him if he has something he can taste and
that there are some people who can make that. That is, Ziz, Surtr,
Shino, and you.
Kamui runs over and says
you guys should go outside where it’s safer. He also has this huge
chocolate in his hands. You can either be shocked to see him, ask about
the chocolate or say you have about as much. He says he made it for you
and that it isn’t sweet. It’s got protein and calcium put into it.
You
either point out that that wouldn’t be chocolate, ask him to go easy on
you, or say you’ll take it if you think of it as his love. He says he
put his feelings into it but pauses when he notices Behemoth. Behemoth
takes it and eats it to his shock.
Elsewhere
in the sales area, at the same time Surtr and Harlot are back and
shopping. Surtr asks if she’s gotten enough yet and worries about their
food budget for the month. Harlot is offended by this and says she can
make the money at the casino. Surtr admits to not being that familiar
with Eden’s or Tokyo’s customs, but he still thinks there’s something
wrong with that idea.
Harlot hears rumbling
in the distance and asks if it’s an earthquake. She looks over down the
hallway, then is at a loss for words. She asks if that’s one of Surtr’s
family over there, and he denies it. Behemoth is over at the DIY corner
even bigger than before.
Shirou gets up
and asks if everyone is okay, saying he did see Behemoth get bigger.
Shinya asks what’s happening, and Kengo says Behemoth blew everyone
away. You ask if people are alright, say that was a hell of a crash, or
say how soft Behemoth was.
Ziz turns out to
have saved you guys from a rougher landing, and Kenta points out all
the pretty feathers flying around and glowing. Shirou asks if they’re
her artifact, and Ziz says they are. They should have protected everyone
hit by Behemoth’s impact.
Ziz apologizes
and says she should have been more focused. She says she saw a dream of a
possible different future from back then. Ziz says it’s fine now
though, and that she won’t let anyone be hurt. She’ll watch over
Behemoth to the end because she was born to do so, and then she thanks
everyone for being nice to him and her.
Ziz
activates her artifact again and tells everyone to run, but you ask her
not to go. She goes over to Behemoth, telling him she’s there with him.
Everyone Ziz moved away with her powers immediately starts working to
size the situation up and get help. First to move is Nomad, who gets on
his phone to make a call.
Nomad calls Kamui
and Marchosias, checking in about their evacuation of the event guests.
Kamui says he’s in the middle of moving people and asks him to wait.
Marchosias is also on the middle of helping in his area. He’s surprised
to see Behemoth though, but says it’s not impossible for him to be
there. But without Leviathan to do something Marchosias has to think of
another way, so he says he’ll call later.
Back
to your side, Kengo says this is a terrible situation and asks what you
guys should do. The event battle theme starts playing, and Ryouta
comments on the timing wondering if the executive committee is watching.
Shirou says if they were they should have done it sooner. But anyways
Ryouta says you guys should dance, and if it doesn’t work you’ll think
on it later.
You either say it’s time to
dance, question whether it’s really the time to be doing that, or say
you’ll try it because you don’t have any other ideas. Whichever you
pick, the episode battle starts.
