Looks like the MC wasn't lying a few chapters back when he said Godkin are immune to alcohol and poison, this guy threw down like 8-10 beers and was hosting an impromptu geography course.

How to improve car sales?
"First of all let me inform you on how American Car companies bribed politicians to purposely sabotage public transportation."

thanks for the chapter. i have to say, this is my favourite chapter so far.

speaking of japanese cuisine, it's really mind-boogling how cheap the foods are in japan.
i live in South East Asian country, where you can argue have one of the cheapest food globally.
but japan's food price is another level.

for example, let's say i buy a large beef bowl from Yoshinoya in Jakarta. it would cost me about Rp. 65.000(tax included). not including drinks. i'd get a decent portion.

now if i buy it in japan, a large portion would cost me 630 yen(tax included), which converted to rupiah is about 63.000. free flow tea included, and i would get significantly more beef.

sure, the price difference is not much, but it still put things into perspective. especially when you factor in that the Japan's yoshinoya gave you more beef than my local one.

are there cheaper food locally here in Jakarta? yes. in fact, most of local produce are.
but the quality difference is huge. japan's vegetables there is really plump, juicy, and sweet. which is probably thanks to selective breeding. local veggies just can't compete.
and don't even talk about meat. our beef that you can buy in traditional market is actually leftover new zealand's beef. one that doesn't make the cut for the [new zealand beef] label. our chicken is pumped full of chemicals. and while japanese's broiler chicken is the same, there's difference in the amount of drugs used.

our fish should be able to compete with them, but unfortunately we lack the knowhow and technology to preserve it correctly. for example, the Ikejime method of preparations.

I love how in manga moving up in the world always involves catching onto the extremely convoluted and roundabout reasons some higher up is doing something :huh: "hmph, only Okabe understood why I cut the fish in pieces before eating the first bite, the rest of you are useless"

Thank you for the chapter! I mean, it should have been relatively obvious he was intruding in on a private event. He's just lucky it ended well, but I bet he'll get a scolding after they leave, and everyone will heave a sigh that can be heard for miles. Still, it'll probably end up going pretty damn well for him.

happens IRL too. more often than you might think.

afterall, pleasing the boss is a sure way to get into their good books.

and if pleasing the boss means knowing the hidden meaning behind their actions, then so be it.

1) It's always kind of funny when the plot of the manga comes to a screeching halt so we can sell some hybrid SUVs.

2) It's also funny watching mangaka desperately try to do "business" stuff in a way that makes them sound like they know what they're talking about and makes it interesting for the audience that also doesn't really know what's happening (or are business people but want to pretend that what they do is a lot more interesting than it really is)

The bento tasting competition from last chapter showcasing Out's tasting skills was a Chekhov's gun casually laying there.

As expected, something happened with the event. Good thing it turned out well for Out. Well, he's got more work and responsibilities now. XD
