      • A bit late but the amount of chefs who go out for a cig during working hours is not small, and also as a side note i’ve seen a fair amount (chefs, waiters and staff in general) who use coke or other stimulant drugs to “keep up” with the presure and stress of a crowded restaurant.
        Source: i’ve worked on medium sized restaurants.

      • Dilettante.

        The amount of chefs (many of them world-class) that “harm their tastebuds with a cigarette” far exceeds the number of those who don’t.

        Please discard your romantic notions of the culinary world, and realize that it’s an unforgiving, high-pressure environment that gives no care to the half-assed ramblings of amateur food critics on instagram. It’s about relentless replication and repetition of dishes over and over until it can be done by wrote without regards to personal touch or artistry, relying on the delusions of diner to fool themselves into thinking that their entree, probably one out of the thousands upon thousands the line cook who prepared it has churned out over the past week, is some unique snowflake and not the product of endless robotic repetition.

        Source: spent many years on the line under the care of some of those world-class chefs, and we bloody hate you hobbyists with a burning passion. We’ll gladly take your money, though, so there’s that.

    • We are up to date. The only things I am working on right now when it comes to this series is updating some extra story points that was written into some of the previous chapters. However, they don’t really change the story too much, so as I have said, we are up to date with the raws.

  24. I was reading through this again after awhile and noticed that the chapter names sound like something Arisa (Death March) said.

  26. The names were odd…
    I thought
    Ganglabe = Gangrave
    Ahrius = Arius
    Riru = Lil
    Cougar = Kuuga
    Gan Rubber = Garn Rubber
    Ekress = Eccless
    Wutin = Utein
    I dunno…

    • Sure.
      Ganglabe being gangrave(mainly cause it sounded cooler)was brought to my attention before, but since I was already many chapters in, I decided to leave it.
      Arius I disagree with because her a has a drag. When I first decided her name, arius was something I considered.
      Lil, was also my initial choice, however… it’s not really a name? And i thought it could’ve been confused with little too easily.
      Cougar… I mean, sure.
      Garn, Gann, yeah… I was slightly rushed I think when I was coming up with Gann’s name, so I didn’t think about the possibility of r
      Ekress… not too sure, I think it may have something to do with her full name, which is why I kept it?(too long ago now)
      Wutin, I mean you right. I just had no idea how to namify her name lol

      • Well at first i think the names was too weird for the novel. Like Cougar, he found the Kuugaryu style.. I believe his name is Kuuga although Kuuga rhyme with Cougar. Because of Kuuga, i suspect Riru’s name is Lil. But, since you’ve almost caught up with the author. I guess it’s alright. Well everyone here already used to with Ganglabe etc. Don’t mind me, keep doing the great job mate!

    • I actually went and translated the first chapter (I didn’t know why either xD). Anyways, first part of first chapter were already published with the second one coming soon (I think), while the chapter where konobuta left off (after prologue of part 2) is undergoing TLC and PR, so expect that to be published in the near future 😀 if the NU page isn’t updated then you can find it at yado inn.
