Sena
Hey, look at those Nopon.
Near the camp, a group of Nopon is dancing.
Taion
They look like Nopon traders.
Lanz
What are they dancing out there for?
Mio
Shall we ask?
They approach the Nopon.
Eunie
Hey, you.
Selfifi
Meh? Looking for bargains?
Lanz
What's all this dancing about then?
Selfifi
Sometimes Nopon just want to dance. Is there law against?
Already ate dinner.
Already ate dinner.
Taion
You dance after eating? That's pretty unusual.
Selfifi
Not even slightly unusual. What silly maniac dance while eating?
Lanz
Nobody said anything about that!
Sena
OK, anyway, so why were you dancing?
Selfifi
Because just ate dinner with legendary Tempapa!
Never have Selfifi been this happy! So glad to come on journey!

Manana

(incredulous)
Meh-meh! Did friend say Tempapa?! Tempapa is real?!
Mio

Manana
He very famous! Does cooking so tasty it make face melt! Legend among Nopon!
Noah

Manana

Selfifi

Manana

Lanz
Wow, he even takes apprentices?
Selfifi
Selfifi saw him go in direction of Daedal Isle, so go there to meet him.
Manana
(bouncing with excitement)
(bouncing with excitement)
This best news of Manana's life! Manana going to become apprentice!
Riku
(resigned)
(resigned)
Is worth shot.
Eunie
(to the other humans)
(to the other humans)
Uhh, we're just gonna go along with this?
Taion
I doubt we can simply pretend none of this just happened.
Manana is still bouncing with excitement.
Eunie
Guess not...
Manana
Time to meet living legend, alive!
Lanz
It's all a bit over my head, but sure, let's do it!
Talk with Selfifi again:
Selfifi
Tempapa head out to Daedal Isle. You catch him if you go quick maybe.
Reach Daedal Isle Interior[edit]
Manana
Where Tempapa supposed to be?
Manana filled with great expect!
Manana filled with great expect!
A group of Crustips surround a Nopon.
???
Meh-meh-meh! Stop that!
Sena
Oh, over there!
Mio
Monsters have cornered someone!
Noah
Let's go help!
They run to the Nopon's help.
Defeat the Crustips[edit]
???
Ahhh...
Eunie
Still alive there, mate?
???
Are you ones who help me?
Manana
That right! Manana and friends come to rescue!
???
Oh, today is good day for meeting Nopon!
Well! Now is time to go home.
Well! Now is time to go home.
Manana
Now is time to wait!
???
What-what?
Manana
Manana has request to make of Tempapa! Please take Manana as apprentice!
Tempapa
Thank you for help, but I am afraid that impossible.
Riku
Why? Is it against personal doctrine to take apprentice?
Tempapa
I not need disciple, that all. But there another thing...
Use precious tool of trade for walloping? That simply inexcusable.
Pot is for cooking, not bashing. Tempapa cannot teach people who disrespect tools in such manner.

Manana
Meh...
Tempapa
And anyway, Nopon who so influenced by humans is not good thing.
Riku
...That unnecessary.
Tempapa
Why you two travel with humans? Nopon- No, no, that irrelevant.
But Nopon have always lived at distance from humans.
So, those are reasons why I not teach you.

Manana

...Manana understand.
Lanz
...The spark is with this guy? What do you say to that?!
Riku looks at Manana with concern as Tempapa walks away.
Riku
Wait!
Tempapa
...What now?
Riku
You say those things after you eat cooking of Manana.
You tell by taste if Manana respect her tools or not.

Manana
(touched)
(touched)
Riku...
Eunie
You can at least do that, right? You can't be in that much of a hurry.
Tempapa
...I accept. Seem like I have no choice. As thanks for helping Tempapa, I go along.
Lanz
It's a done deal!
Riku
(softly, turning back to Manana)
(softly, turning back to Manana)
Manana, is possible?
Manana
...Ma-Manana can! Manana will not waste this chance!
Prepare a meal for Tempapa[edit]
Tempapa
So, what you cook for me?
Manana
Manana have just the thing!
Tempapa
Oho, what we have here...?
Manana

Tempapa
Let me have taste.
Hm, just as thought.

Aaand finish!
Riku
Mmm? What this?
Manana

Tempapa
Oho, this certainly something... (sniff-sniff)
Manana
Eat while still hot!
Tempapa
Yes, yes...
The scene fades to black. Munching sounds can be heard. When the scene appears again, the meal has disappeared.
Manana

Tempapa

Taion
Well? Did it not agree with you?
Manana
Oh no, is Manana terrible cook?!
Tempapa
Come with Tempapa.
Noah
Where are you going?
Riku
We want to hear impressions of Manana's cooking!
Tempapa
No more yak-yakking. Just follow.
Tempapa walks away, leaving them with little choice but to follow.
Follow Tempapa to his house[edit]
Tempapa
Here is house of Tempapa.
Lanz
This is more like a hidey-hole than a house.
Tempapa
Correct. Nopon must live far from humans.
Noah
Are you sure you don't mind bringing us here?
Tempapa
Well it's not good, but when this finish, I move house.
I bring friends here to say thankings for meal.
Cooking of Manana is...not bad.

Mio

Your problem is cooking utensils, and making best use of cooking utensils.

Riku
Yes, yes, understood. Riku and friends find things for Tempapa.
Lanz
I've got questions, but if this makes dinner taste even better, there's no way I'm gonna pass up the chance!
Taion
...It cannot be denied that Manana's cooking has been indispensable thus far.
Noah
OK, then let's go and pay Mr. Samon a visit.

Samon

Lanz

Samon walks up to a shelf and starts searching for something.
Samon
He always show up out of blue to trade weird stuff.
Recently he not show up at all. Samon thought he most likely dead in ditch somewhere.
Recently he not show up at all. Samon thought he most likely dead in ditch somewhere.

Manana

Tempapa
Cooking of Manana... Problem is that it lack tools, technique and soul.
Manana

Tempapa
To get best out of ingredients, must use condiments.
And to get best from technique, need special something.
And to get best from technique, need special something.
Manana
Can teach special something?
Tempapa
That question. Wait here for tick.
Tempapa disappears inside his house. The scene fades to black. After a while, the party just decides to set up camp. Lanz and Sena are training while the others sit around a campfire.
Eunie

Riku
Just how long this going to take? Maybe he steal away goods and scarper with?
Tempapa

Everyone stop what they're doing and stand up to gather around Tempapa.
Manana

Tempapa

Riku

Manana

Manana

But that not all.

Then even if use in battle, it not warp.

Manana

Tempapa
Cooking of Manana...not actually so bad.
But tools simply not able to keep up with level of skill.
That make cooking sad, and utensils sad too.

Eunie
Ahh. So that's why her technique and tools aren't up to scratch.

Love is very important thing for technique and cooking.

Lanz
Ugh... Can't believe this.
Manana
It OK. Manana not mind at all, Lanz.
Manana learn ins and outs of cook-pot!
To make tippest of top food, having of best utensils is required.
Manana would never realize this if not learn lesson from Tempapa!

Manana can't wait to get stuck in with making food!

The scene fades to black. Cooking noises can be heard.
Manana's meal[edit]
♫
Light of the Moon - Hope keeps playing from the previous cutscene.
When the cooking is done, everyone is gathered to eat. Manana has made the Cerise-Caprice Acqua Pazza again. There are also numerous bread buns on the table.
Riku
Meh-heh-hem... Tasty!
Mio
Mm, it's so different from before...!
Sena
I could eat piles and piles of this!
Eunie
Yeah, how the spark can one pot change so much about a dish?
Tempapa
Warp of pot is warp of heart. And warp of heart is warp of cooking.
Eunie
What?
Tempapa
Though it also plenty true that beloved tool will create beloved food.
Taion
But you still consider it unthinkable to wield as a weapon?
Tempapa
Truth be told, that part still rub Tempapa wrong way.
But from initial impression of cooking, could tell Manana made with talent, without understanding of how to use tool.
That was thing that really needed correction.

Riku
Is Tempapa eating well?
Tempapa
Tempapa only eat little. Cannot gorge self like young buck.
Manana

Manana is making more, no fear!
Tempapa
Do Riku also have difficulty getting along with humans, like Tempapa?
Riku

If not travel with Noah and others, then not have chance to eat cooking of Manana now.
