Berthold returns to the ancient city having successfully married Hermina. However, things don't go quite as planned and the couple are unable to move into their new home. Berthold takes his newly betrothed to Nobu and asks if they can watch over her for a bit. Meanwhile, things have gotten busy for Nobuyuki and Shinobu ever since their kabayaki became a huge hit in the city. They're worried they might not be able to accommodate customers who come in for drinks. It's then that Hermina says something that could very well lead them to the answer to their problems…

Berthold, Hans, and Nikolaus are all having drinks at Nobu as per the usual. Today, they're discussing which flavor of kara-age they should order: salt or soy sauce. Berthold prefers salt, but Nikolaus is all in on soy sauce. They both preach about their preferred flavor, but the debate seems to be going nowhere. Finally, the two turn to Hans for his opinion, but where does he stand…?
