20:00 Play	2000. You're really good at cooking, Admiral. That's unfair. nom... This is delicious! What kind of meat is this? Eh, cutlet? I didn't even know food like this existed.
20:00 Play	フタマルマルマル。提督、お前こんなに料理がうまいなんて。卑怯だぞ。はむっ…こんな美味しいものが！…この肉はなんだ？え、カツレツ？知らない料理だぁ。
21:00 Play	2100. Alright, mealtime is over. Thank you, Admiral. I'm grateful for the meal. Leave the washing up to me. It's the least I can do.
