Episode Title:
Grilled Skewers of Prime Meat: Royal Moodle
Episode Description:
Aristide is intrigued Melphiera uses a magic circle designed by her mother to drain monster magic blood before butchering them. She reveals her mother invented the technique during a famine when food was scarce but monsters were plentiful. Melphiera hopes one day monsters will be a food source alongside normal animals. She even uses the magical blood as a fuel source for ovens and lamps. He compliments her red hair, panicking her so she compliments how noble he appeared riding his dragon, and they both blush. Melphiera and Aristide make Moodle skewers they share with Chaos and the knights, causing them all to fall in love with monster cuisine. Melphiera shows Aristide her mother's laboratory, where she reveals she has a complicated relationship with her father's citizens who consider eating monsters a taboo, referred to as Animism. In fact, even the people her mother saved from starvation never admit they ate monster meat. As such she keeps her research private in the laboratory. Melphiera claims she would only be a burden if Aristide married her but he insists he wants to know her better and for her to know him.
