[Voice]

[A robotic, yet expressive voice speaks over the radio.]

If I could just ask everybody following this Convoy, for no particular reason...

What's your favorite food?

[There's a pause, before he adds]

Unless you're Akihiko. If you're Akihiko, stop listening. [He means that last part in a sort of tongue-in-cheek way, except that he has neither of those things.]

Afraid not, but I am familiar with both Belgian and toaster waffles.

[They aren't Akechi's breakfast of choice, but the latter are especially common in the west.]

In Japan, we also have taiyaki, which are similar to a pancake or a waffle, but with filling, typically molded in the shape of a fish.

So it's purely aesthetic? No differences in ingredients?

[That's almost disappointing...]

As for taiyaki, it's my understanding that it uses a batter similar to pancake, with molds to give them the fish shape. You place the batter within the molds with your choice of filling and then cook accordingly.

So not unlike the foods offered in the mess hall.

[The porridge in particular is just so bland. Akechi may not have strong food preferences, but he has a sophisticated enough palate to recognize lackluster offerings.]

Still, that does leave me curious how different planets' and galaxies' ingredients compare. It's a scale far larger than anything an ordinary earthling could dream of, even with art and media exploring it on a conceptual level.

Then again, it's rather mundane to you, isn't it?

For someone who has only ever known one planet, such a scale extends far beyond my imagination. At most, I've experienced a parallel world born of cognition, but even it was fairly limited in scope.

[If only he could experience it for himself, rather than some vague facsimile in Okumura's Palace...]

[Oho... Opportunities to revolutionize technology? To change the world?

As a child, he would have excitedly jumped at the chance. As a jaded, older teen...

Well, it's still interesting.]


I admit, the subject does fascinate me. If nothing else, it could make for some fascinating conversation topics.
