'Senshi, I've got the thing I wanted to show you!' 'Laddie... your knapsack looks fit to burst. Don't you have any others?' 'None big enough to hold any of this stuff. It's all so strange, haha.' 'That fascinating, is it? This cookware you wanted me to see.' 'Just wait until you see it! I picked out the perfect one, if I say so myself. Here, it's a cooking pot. All you do is put the ingredients in, press the button, and it automatically cooks it for you.' 'Come again? You press this button, nothing else, and the food makes itself?' 'Yep, exactly.' 'Don't even need a fire?' 'Nope. If I remember right, it uses Originium technology for the cooking.' 'Originium technology?' 'Like, you pick a cooking method, and that signals the Originium circuits inside the pot to start working, so the air valve closes, and the element heats up, so steam builds inside the pot and raises pressure... I'm not sure what it all implies, though. I just heard that was how it worked.' 'Originium circuits...' 'With higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point of water increases. This elevation in boiling point facilitates quicker cooking times. As a result, recipes that previously required extended stewing periods can now be completed in relatively shorter durations. That's what the manual says.' 'Atmospheric... boiling points...' 'For seasoning, there are all sorts of different packets with concentrated seasoning. Curry, chili, bolognese, the works. All you have to do is put the right amount in along with your ingredients. Press the button, wait until the alert sounds, and it's done.' 'Concentrated seasoning...' 'It's either extracted from the foods, or directly synthesized based on their compositions. With these helpers, even people who've hardly used a kitchen before can make some pretty delicious dishes.' 'Synthesized... composition...' 'Senshi, what's the matter?' 'Laios, when did you start learning culinary magic?' 'Wh... what?' 'This sounds like nothing but magic to me! I've been telling you how those wizarding elves and gnomes end up too complacent and lazy from cooking with their magic! You know how dangerous that is in the dungeon!' 'You say that, but why are you taking the pot anyway?' 'I only wish to study it. Although I don't approve of cooking with magic, I can be sure of one thing: this type of cookware is essential to the Terran way of life. It's something I can learn more about Terra through. 'In colder places, folks tend to store food in containers with better insulation. In hot places, people prefer those that cool off faster, are more breathable, and easier to wash. 'You have to learn the lives of the locals to prepare the food that they enjoy. 'Just like in the dungeon, aye?'
