latenightiridescence said: Good to see you again! All of your speculation is amazing, especially the bit about the pines. When put like that, it makes so much sense. And K’s notebook - I thought it was written by the Nitro, but if it were Frohze’s, that’d be incredible.

Hehe, it’s just speculation for a fic idea more than a real theory. I think the chance that Komatsu’s current cookbook is Frohze’s is pretty small — though now that I’ve looked through the Nitro chapter again, the translation only says that the book was created from what the creatures left behind, not that it was written  by the creatures.

And now that I think about it, the thing that keeps me tilting my head like a puzzled chihuahua is that Komatsu was able to understand the techniques because of his own cooking experiences — that means what’s detailed in the books must be similar to human techniques of food preparation, right? However … I think there was something in the manga about how nitro were kidnapping chefs because they wanted to learn human techniques. That’s the part that doesn’t quite make much sense. If they know human techniques, enough to write a book that a human chef would understand … then they wouldn’t need to kidnap chefs to learn their techniques, right? So perhaps the book was written by a human chef reinterpreting the nitro’s cooking?

Or perhaps I’m being too much of a dork and overthinking it. Stopping now before embarrassment really sets in. XD But yup, glad to be back and to see you too! :) How’s it going? I’ve missed poking around in the fandom. Actually, I have two drabble ideas, but I’m trying to decide if they are worth writing when I really should be either polishing the long fic or writing the end to it. *grumbles*
