Berthold is known far and wide as a devil of sorts. There are few in the ancient city who don’t fear him. But even a man as intimidating as he has something he cannot eat: squid. Unfortunately for him, he is soon to meet with a squid fisherman’s daughter for a potential arranged marriage. He comes to Nobuyuki hoping to squash his distaste for squid by trying a multitude of different dishes, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t even bring himself to take a single bite. Roasted dry squid, squid sashimi, minced squid balls, fried calamari… Nevermind salted squid guts. Just what IS Berthold’s beef with squid…?
I mean, how could it be a firsthand 
experience if everyone there died?
أعني كيف تمكّن من تجربة ذلك
تجربة مباشرة إن كان الجميع هناك موتى؟
Wie soll er es auch erlebt haben, wenn alle tot sind,
die dem Tintenfisch begegnet waren?
Si hubieran muerto todos,
¿quién habría contado la historia?
C’est bizarre
qu’il en ait rencontré un,
Voglio dire, come avrebbe potuto
viverlo in prima persona se sono morti tutti?
Afinal, se todos morreram,
como ele experienciou isso?
Да и откуда взялись его «познания», 
раз никто и никогда не выживал?
