I like how you spelled what'sontap correctly when Taishou said it. Nice detail.

 

[pataponnaako]

My my my, this is a nice development in terms of the plot. While it could be inferred from the previous chapters, that Taishou would be willing to stay in Aitheria (rather than in Japan if the connection is severed) is still a surprise to me. I am not sure if Shinobu feels the same but given how their life has mostly centered in Aitheria, only going to Japan to get materials, perhaps she feels the same.

I hope it isn't some foreshadowing and they don't something that greatly offends the Kitsune in charge of Nobu's door.

Spanish omelette (also known as "Tortilla de patatas") is relatively easy to prepare and truly delicious 😋

...And, yes, it looks like pacman.

Well well, just after commenting on a chapter for Gen a new chapter for Nobu appears. Will commenting here cause a new chapter for Gen to show up?

Napolitan forever terrorizing Taisho’s meal of thick cut bacon.

 

[Runnick]

prepared with potatoes and (sometimes) onions

I see you went with the safe option and covered both positions in the culinary war. Wouldn't want a feud in the comment section, after all.

Thank you for the update!

the potato omelette looks delicious

 

[Hitansy]

Taishou really love his thick bacon and shinobu sneaky as always.

 

[Liar]

Taishou and Shinobu should just get together already!

They may not have a warning, and thus not a choice. The door may just stop working, sticking them in whatever world they're in at the time.

Another point I'd like to make is that giving up the modern world is a sacrifice anyway (rule of law can be a big one that you only realize when it's too late, but also the sheer abundance that we have and take for granted, but which is wholly dependent on modern economies and modern logistic chains), it's an even bigger sacrifice for women. Even if the other side seems relatively egalitarian for a medieval society, so that front's not too bad, giving birth in a medieval world sounds terrifying.

Then again, women IRL have been known to volunteer for even worse, so there's that.

If you're ever in Bilbao, there's a cafe 2 blocks from the Guggenheim, serves a great tortilla. I forget the name, go out the front past doggy one block, then left 1 block, its on the corner.

You can actually make soy sauce out of a variety of things, as long as you have access to Aspergillus sojae mold spores. Noma in Denmark tried it with Danish split peas, and they ended up not putting it on their menu because it was too much like Japanese soy sauce and didn't feel Danish enough!

You can also make miso out of an enormous variety of things, though you do get significantly more variety in flavours. I've seen places selling chickpea miso and even corn miso! (I made some myself out of kidney beans once.)

In short, I don't think Hans needs to worry so much (^^)

 

[BusWindow]

Thanks for the chapter! It was only about 25 pages but it felt like a lot happened.

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

 

[lightfixtures]

I love little callback details like this

 

[fight2live]

not a bean stalk but a bean tree

 

[AbsurdAsparagus]

fun fact bean trees are real, and one of the species has beans that taste like edamame. its called the palo verde. it grows in arizona and sonora.

Took me a while to formulate a response to this, sorry.

My point was more about how Shinobu seems to be willing to follow Taishou wherever it may take her. She's already been willing to cut off family ties just to follow Taishou (even though this has been resolved "just recently", and has somewhat mended ties with her family—I could take this as further foreshadowing, though, as shuuhari, seems to be an overarching theme in the series, also echoed somewhat in Izakaya Gen). Thus, while it might be a stretch to take this to this extreme, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Shinobu will be okay staying in Aitheria if that's where Taishou will stay. Indeed, women IRL have been known to volunteer for even worse, and it seems in this case, it'd be written as "I did it for love" (which was part of my point, I guess).

As for not having a choice in the matter, given what happened to the Japanese man in Celtia (Yoda), you might be correct. But then again, in Yoda's case, there was an attempt to destroy the door, which makes me wonder whether or not "the transfer of the door's control" is indeed a rule, or was an action of the kitsune in charge of that door in Celtia. So far though, there's still too little lore about how the door works, and I am willing to put it as "a kitsune did it" rather than as a rule in general.

I don't think all doors work the same anyway. The soy sauce door seems to work for only one person, and is passed down sometime when the heir's fetus is formed. (Which sounds super fragile to me...)

The izakaya doors will transport anyone. I guess they keep working as long as the foxes will them to?

Also, it's unclear if Shinobu followed Taishou, or if she decided to run away from home and Taishou was just a convenient way to make a living. Heck, it's unclear if they're romantically involved at all. Some people have assumed they were a married couple, and I can see why, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
