Food and Etiquette Are Mainstays of Culture
1
Food time, guys.
Eat up.
Grow nice and big.
Ponko.
Hey, Yachiyo.
It's time for you to clock out
for the day. Thank you.
Huh? It's already that late?
Hey! Let Unlucky eat.
They have names?
Yep. Nugget, Orange, Buffalo, and Yakitori.
And that one's Unlucky Fried Chicken.
I guess they don't really need names.
They're just gonna be food, after all.
Episode 4
Food and Etiquette
Are Mainstays of Culture
I hope you like the food.
Not this again.
Is it not to your liking?
Hey, Fuguri, don't be picky!
No, it's always delightful!
Sorry about our son, truly.
Listen, lad. We called this a delicious meal
the first time we had it.
That's why they're serving us the same thing
every single meal without a lick of shame.
It'd normally be an unthinkable
way to treat long-term guests,
because it could affect a hotel's reputation.
Mami? Mami?
Yachiyo's embarrassing herself for us here.
This place should be named the Masochism Hotel.
We could go even further and call it Hotel M.
That was me! I said that! Punch me!
Come on, Dad. Yachiyo won't punch
anyone unless they cross the line.
Here, Fuguri.
Cooky made it for us with love, you know?
That's right, Fuguri. Think of all
the starving stray tanuki out there.
Fuguri!
Eat quick, or Grandma will have it all!
You want new dishes?
Don't, Mother. Think of your blood pressure.
Quality isn't the issue.
It's the variety we have on offer.
You're right.
We lack the ingredients and the seasonings
to come up with new offerings.
We can't let this defeat us.
We must satisfy our guests,
or it'll hurt the hotel's reputation.
Let's widen our criteria and take a look
at local cuisines from across the globe.
Team leads, you have the floor.
The maintenance and upkeep robots
may proceed as usual.
Gardener Robot and Cook Robot, brainstorm
new additions to the restaurant's menu.
On that note, I'm leaving Flycatcher Robot
in charge of the front desk today.
Ponko and I will be heading out
to search for new ingredients.
What? We're going out together?
Yes.
We are required to operate in pairs when
leaving the premises to prevent any mishaps.
The two of us can cover
a wider range than the others.
Will you come with me?
Sure!
I mean, yes, ma'am!
So, we gettin' our sushi on in the big 'Za?
No.
I'm hoping we'll be able to
catch lots of fish with these.
Hey, so we are going for sushi!
Put fish on vinegar rice, and it's sushi!
And what's this?
A tool for catching fish.
It's called a fishing rod.
We always just caught them with our forelegs.
Didn't know there was a tool for it.
Also
You should hold on to this.
It will allow us to chat
even when we're far apart.
Really?
Grandpa Danzaburo
Are you having fun in the afterlife?
Thanks for always watching over us.
Well, maybe not that far apart.
Oh
You've got some serious bags
under your eyes, Yachiyo.
You're like a stray tanuki.
I didn't manage to get as much
recharge time last night.
It won't affect my work, thankfully.
Okay. I'll carry you if you
can't get back by yourself.
Wow.
The desertification has encroached this far?
I should update my map data.
We should've brought some snacks with us.
We aren't allowed to snack during work hours.
But rest assured, I did bring you lunch.
It's the thing! What was it called?
A camel.
Camel! It looks funny!
It seemed upset.
Sure did.
Are we headed to that forest?
Yes. We may find ingredients that
aren't commonly seen near the hotel.
My sensors say there's something off here.
So why do I see nothing?
Yachiyo, Yachiyo! This thing!
Let's use it as bait!
That was a gift from a guest.
Huh?
Three-second rule! It's still good!
Right?!
We caught a whole bunch, huh?
You did very well for your first time.
Gotta hunt to survive, you know?
I was right to bring you.
If we can keep this up, we'll gather
a whole bunch of new ingredients.
I hope we can add some
yummy dishes to the menu!
I do, too.
Anything to put smiles on our guests' faces.
I'm all full now.
Let's go find some other stuff!
What's this?
A camel's hump.
Let's help it outta there.
Sure.
One, two
Yachiyo, my instincts are telling me to run.
No need for concern.
I'm built to deal with most animals.
Hey, it's Babeh-O.
Ponko!
Move it! Run!
You fool!
Do you have a death wish?!
What the heck is that massive creature?
Searching database.
It doesn't match any known Earth creature.
No Matches
No Matches
That building looks like the most
durable structure around here.
We're escaping into that one!
Are you all right, Ponko?
Is it gone? Did we lose it?!
Sadly, no.
We are still in quite a perilous situation.
Ignition!
Your death rests in my hands, babeh.
Eat this! Obliteration Ray!
Oh, shit!
That thing's harder
than your mom's cherry pie!
Looks like it's very, very hungry.
The Nudel's starving too?
Mm? "Nudel"?
Yep.
That's clearly a Nudel Merissa Scolopendra.
I didn't know they were on Earth too.
You know what that is?
Just the name, but yeah.
They're famous for destroying
basically every planet they inhabit.
Damn it!
The Nudel's trying to swallow both us
and the building whole!
No way! Can we escape somehow?
We could save our skins today
But if we ignore that thing, it'll eventually
destroy Earth's environment, babeh.
Then humanity would have
no home to return to.
We have to take it out, right here and now.
Gotta hunt to survive, you know?
Let's fish it.
Wha?
Look up there.
That's our fishing rod.
Food and Etiquette Are Mainstays of Culture
I don't think this is gonna work.
Let me plug it into my battery.
Yo, that doesn't sound good!
Yachiyo didn't get enough sleep because
she stayed up trying to think of new recipes.
You can't go home
with an empty battery, babeh.
That's not a problem.
Yes, it is.
We have to go home together.
But
Guess it's up to me.
Can't believe I'm hookin' up on the first date.
Commencing fishing.
Perhaps some bait is in order.
Are we good to go, Ponko?
Feels like a waste, but oh well!
Our plan is foiled.
Don't pick the fish off the sushi!
We're down to our last resort.
Huh?
I'll act as bait and lure it in,
and you fish it out once I do.
Don't just blurt out
an insane plan like it's nothing!
Yeah!
It'll be fine.
Ponko, you pilot the crane, pl

Entering power saving mode.
Huh?
I'll act as bait and lure it in,
and you fish it out once I do.
W-Welcome back.
You can't pull it off. Not today, babeh.
We have no choice but to
but to do
She's back in power saving mode.
I'll go.
Wha? It's too dangerous
for a scaredy-tanuki like you!
I'll act as bait and lure it in,
and you fish it out once I do!
I want us all to go back
to the hotel together!
So
I'll be the bait!
Can you do that for us?
Yeah!
Ponko!
You must come back to us safe and sound.
Right.
Injuries caused by extraterrestrial creatures
are not eligible for worker's comp.
Right
Okay, Ponko.
Let's go over the Eight Trap Operation
one more time.
First, you'll catch the Nudel's attention
and lure it into range.
Then I'll fish it up with the crane!
It may sound simple,
but this operation requires mental strength
and sharp judgment to succeed.

Surroundings
Crane
Durable Building
There is no margin for error.
You have to come back to us in one piece.
Are we clear?
Yeah.
Starting the countdown, then.
Five, four, three,
two, one
It's fishing time!
Now, Yachiyo!
Yachiyo?!
Oops! Is the hook stuck?!
Yachiyo! Try again!
Please recharge.
Gosh
No way!
I knew we should've brought snacks.
Eek!
Hey! You okay?
Come in if you're still alive!
Don't be the prey
Don't be the prey
Don't be the prey.
You're the hunter!
You gotta be kidding me!
Nope! Can't do it!
Are you unhurt, Ponko?
Yep, I'm still alive.
I'm glad to hear it. You were right.
The spare battery really saved us.
I'll amend the rules so we can bring
snacks up to 500 kW in the future.
Ponko.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
What do we do with this thing?
It's too big to incinerate, babeh.
Your name is Nudeloon now.
Wow!
What's this? I've never
seen food like this before!
Now, these new offerings
look truly delectable.
A much bigger feast than usual!
I can tell it's all delicious
just by looking at it.
What are all these dishes?
Here in the 'Za
You show your gratitude and respect
to the lives you're consuming
by bringing your forelegs together
and saying "Thank you for this meal"
and "That was delicious."
Thank you for this meal.
Yum!
I'm glad I lived to see this day.
Delish! I'm feeling the urge
to take all my clothes off.
This is far beyond my wildest expectations!
It might be the best dish
in the galaxy—no
In the entire universe!
It has just the right amount of marbling.
I could eat a whole kettle of this!
It goes great with alcohol.
