A22: Secret Journal Exchange

Characters: Yodaka, Nagi, Netaro, Toi & Daniel Location: Hakodate Summary: The protagonist and co. visit the morning market and buy souvenirs for their co-workers and friends, but the pathway is small and cramped. They decide to help the tourists who are having a hard time in the area. Proofreader: Shay

ㅤ

Translator’s Notes ☽.‎˖

Arajiru: Soup made from fish bones, vegetables and konjac; can either be clear or with miso.

Daimon Yokocho: This is a collection of 26 bars and eateries in downtown Hakodate.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📍 Location: Hakodate Jiyuu-ichiba

Momiji / Kaede: The morning markets are always so lively!

Yodaka: There are local chefs coming here to purchase their ingredients, so it must mean that it’s a great market.

Let’s buy some souvenirs for Danny and Toi.

Momiji / Kaede: Putting aside Chief who couldn’t make it out of bed, it’d be nice if Toi could cheer up soon.

Nagi: …… I can smell hunger.

Netaro: Look. There’s something called “[1]arajiru” and white rice being sold over there!

*Nagi inches away from Netaro*

Nagi: ……

Momiji / Kaede: Oh, “arajiru”. You can have it with squid, the local specialty, of course, but you can also have it with sashimi or ikura.

Yodaka: You can have the fruits of the sea right then and there? That’s great for tourists.

Momiji / Kaede: Yes, let’s take a look with everyone later!

(But…)

Tourist A: Hmm, there’s not a lot of space to walk…

Tourist B: It’s a popular market, so there are a lot of products here.

Tourist C: Which queue is this for? I can’t tell.

Tourist D: Kazuo! Look where you’re going or you’ll trip over the cardboard boxes!

Momiji / Kaede: (The path is blocked by the tourists and the cardboard boxes…! Alright, I need to help them out here…!)

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ🚩 Omotenashi Battle 🚩

Momiji / Kaede: Okay, the tourists and the cardboard boxes are all dealt with! It should make it easier for tourists to look around now!

Yodaka: Oh, Netaro-kun has disappeared.

Nagi: Ah, he ran off to the squid-fishing corner.

Yodaka: Heh… There’s an odd innocence to him – he’s like a small child.

It makes me feel nostalgic just thinking that I was once like that, too…

*A beep sound is heard*

Momiji / Kaede: (Hm? Yodaka-san’s brows are knitted…)

What’s the matter? Are you okay?

Yodaka: …My apologies. I just had a little headache.

Nagi: Oh, do you want to take a break?

Yodaka: I’m fine – it happens often. Anyway, would ten be enough?

Momiji / Kaede: Ten?

Yodaka: I’m talking about crabs. It looks like they can be sent via refrigerated delivery, so I figured we could get some for our co-workers in HAMA.

Momiji / Kaede: Uh, but that’s red king crab…

Nagi: One of them would cost half a month’s worth of food money for me…

Yodaka: Scallops sound great, too. Excuse me, I’ll take 30 of these. Maybe I should also buy some squid and salmon – I’ll ask Yukikaze to make a seafood stew.

Momiji / Kaede: A–Are you sure you want to buy so much?

Yodaka: Hm? We also have teenage boys who are going through their growth spurt, so there’s never enough.

Momiji / Kaede: (He’s so considerate…!)

P–Please let me help you with the bags! What will you do, Nagi-kun?

Nagi: Ah… I’d like to help too, but there’s a shop I’d like to visit…

Momiji / Kaede: Okay. See you later, then!

Nagi: Excuse me, I’d like one rose, lavender, wisteria and an azalea branch, please.

Yes, please send them all to this hotel. …Thank you.

(Alright… I’ve got more flowers added to the ones I need to hand out. That should be enough while I’m travelling.)

Hm?

Netaro: Munch, munch. Phew~ These ikura are so chewy!

Nagi: (Netaro is eating at the foodcourt. By himself…)

……

Netaro: Now, this is what you call eating life. That’s what it tastes like. And then we have this crab arajiru!

*Nagi walks closer*

Nagi: ……

Netaro: ARAjiru… hm, how is it pronounced again? AraJIRU? Mmm… I dunno…

*Nagi closes up on Netaro*

Nagi: It’s the latter.

Netaro: ! Gii!

Nagi: …I was just a bit curious, is all.

Netaro: Weren’t you avoiding me because I traumatised you?

Nagi: Ugh.

Netaro: You’re not afraid of me anymore?

Nagi: …No, I still am.

…… I know I could’ve ignored you but…

I realised that you might be feeling lonely usually.

Netaro: …Hm?

Nagi: I don’t know… if you’ve really come to a faraway place alone. But you’re here at a place you have no ties or connections to, and you’re eating ikura all by yourself.

…It made me wonder if you’re lonely.

Netaro: “Lonely”.

Nagi: Yeah. You must feel lonely and miss your family or friends from time to time, right?

Netaro: Friends…

Oh~!! I laughed my butt off earlier since the squid I saw at the fishing corner before looked exactly like my superior! I definitely couldn’t eat that squid, so I didn’t.

Nagi: O–Oh… I see.

Netaro: Why would you feel “lonely” if you think about your family and friends?

Nagi: Is it a feeling aliens don’t understand? Like you guys don’t have the organ for it…?

Netaro: ……

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📍 Flashback

Boy: Netaro… you don’t feel lonely? Maybe that’s why you don’t understand.

Netaro: ……

Nagi: Netaro?

Netaro: Humans get lonely when they’re by themselves, right? A human I met before taught me that.

Nagi: Yeah. Being by yourself is lonely and it doesn’t make you happy.

There are delicious ikura here, but being unable to share that deliciousness with others makes people unhappy.

Your happiness can be doubled if you spend time with them…

Netaro: Doubled!? By what logic!?

Nagi: With 2 people, the sad things can be halved…!

Netaro: What makes you say that!?

Nagi: People feel happiness for the very first time when they share their lives with someone else. That’s what I think, anyway. No, that has to be true. It has to be right.

Netaro: How mysterious and utterly incomprehensible!

Nagi: You haven’t been on Earth for very long, Netaro. I need to teach you about these things as the representative for all of humanity.

Netaro: How trustworthy! Thanks!

Nagi: (Huh, I guess I’m not feeling so scared anymore…)

(In fact, Netaro just seems like an innocent kid.)

Momiji / Kaede: What’re you guys talking about?

Nagi: Oh, Manager.

Netaro: Gii taught me that being by yourself is lonely and that it makes you unhappy.

Momiji / Kaede: T–That sounds like a serious topic for a conversation.

Nagi: U–Uh, not really…

Momiji / Kaede: But, hmm, I think there are all sorts of different ways to live. Well, I guess that’s the common opinion.

Netaro: Mmm, I wanna learn more!

Momiji / Kaede: Oh, Yodaka-san’s coming over. If you two have finished eating, let’s get going.

Nagi: Okay.

Netaro: …Still, Gii, you…

You said the same things he did.

Toi: Ugh… sniffle…

(We… haven’t stopped our journal exchange.)

(But I wonder how many times I’ve cried seeing Aa-chama’s reply…)

Sniffle…

*Toi flips through the pages*

“Why is Ani-sama avoiding me?”

“Perhaps he thought he wouldn’t have any choices in life if he stayed with you.”

“But he cannot run away – just as he cannot change the blood flowing through his veins.”

“Shall I lend you a hand?”

Toi: …………

Will… Ani-sama come back to me if I borrow Aa-chama’s power? He won’t leave me again, will he…?

……

Daniel: PT~! Over here. Face this way.

??: “Meow~”

Daniel: Alright, alright. I’m gonna be leaving soon. Be a good kitty and wait for me, okay~?

Momiji / Kaede: Daniel-san, what’re you doin– …Oh! PT!

You were watching your pet camera video? You asked Nayuki-kun to take care of your cat, right?

Daniel: Yeah. But it just makes me wanna go home~!

Yodaka: So the little kitty I saw around HAMA House was Danny’s pet cat.

Netaro: You have a pet cat!? I wanna pet it.

Nagi: Me, too. I wouldn’t even mind getting bitten.

Daniel: Why do you think you’re gonna get bitten, Nagi?

PT’s the cutest cat in the world! I’ll introduce you guys when we’re back.

Momiji / Kaede: Shumai’s going to sulk if it realises PT is more popular.

Netaro: That green pea doesn’t want to get close to me…

Momiji / Kaede: (Shumai was growling a lot when they first met, too…)

Yodaka: By the way, what should we do about dinner tonight?

Momiji / Kaede: Oh, right. We haven’t decided yet.

You need to make a reservation to eat at the hotel’s buffet… so it’ll either have to be a restaurant downstairs or somewhere outside…

Toi: [2]Daimon Yokocho.

Momiji / Kaede: Woah… that gave me a fright. Toi-kun?

Toi: We’ll have dinner at Daimon Yokocho.

Momiji / Kaede: Huh?

Netaro: Toi~ Are you awake?

Toi: …Silence.

Hurry up and get to your feet. We’ll meet outside.

Momiji / Kaede: (He left…)

Netaro: ……

Daniel: W–What was that about? He was like a completely different person.

Momiji / Kaede: I wonder what happened. Is it something related to Ryui-kun…?

Yodaka: Did he end up like that after being so depressed?

Daniel: I dunno what’s happening to young folks these days.

Nagi: …… …He changed his way of speaking and is acting cold and blunt…

Ah…!

Don’t tell me he’s going through that sort of teenage phase…?

Yodaka: …By that, do you mean that?

Daniel: Ohh, like when a typhoon comes, they’ll stare up at the sky and mumble, “Here it comes…” or something…?

Nagi: They’ll wrap both arms in bandages and wear an eyepatch…

Momiji / Kaede: What~? Toi-kun is just a year older than you, Nagi-kun.

Daniel: It’s different for everybody.

Netaro: I have no idea what everyone is talking about.

Yodaka: In any case, it means we shouldn’t question how Toi’s acting and should go with the flow, Netaro.

Netaro: I see!

Nagi: When he turns back to normal, we’ll pretend it never happened.

Daniel: That would be the perfect adult response.

Momiji / Kaede: Okay, we’ll go with that.

(I'm worried about Toi-kun… we have to find Ryui-kun, too. I hope Toi-kun will be back to normal in a day or two…!)

Organic Soy Lecithin: A Versatile Ingredient Poised for Growth

Health Benefits of Soy Lecithin Soy lecithin is a natural food additive produced during the processing of soybeans. It contains important nutrients like vitamins, proteins, and amino acids that are beneficial for health. Soy lecithin is a good source of choline, an essential nutrient that helps in liver function, muscle movement, learning, and memory. Choline is necessary for synthesizing acetylcholine, a crucial neurotransmitter. Lecithin also contains phytosterols which help control cholesterol levels. Due to these health properties, soy lecithin is used in many food applications and nutritional supplements. Wide Range of Industrial Applications Organic Soy Lecithin has emulsifying and stabilizing properties which make it suitable for use in many industries. In the food industry, it is used as an additive in baked goods, chocolate, ice cream, margarine, mayonnaise, and others. Soy lecithin helps in mixing together ingredients that do not normally blend like oil and water. It extends the shelf life of processed foods by acting as an antimicrobial agent. Other major application areas of soy lecithin include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, and paints. Many medications contain soy lecithin to improve their absorption in the body. It is a key ingredient in lotions, makeup, and hair conditioners due to its moisturizing properties. Growth in Organic Farming and Regulations Conventional soy lecithin is made from non-organic and genetically modified soybeans which are sprayed with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. However, consumer demand for clean label and organic products is increasing at a rapid pace. As a result, soy lecithin manufacturers are switching to organic and non-GMO sources. This transition allows them to capitalize on premium price points by marketing organic soy lecithin. Stringent regulations in the EU have further accelerated this shift. The regulations discourage use of residues from solvents like hexane in extracting lecithin. Production using food-grade ethanol is becoming the mainstream method. Strict norms are boosting demand for organic variants that use mechanical extraction processes without chemical solvents. North America Dominates Production At present, North America accounts for over 50% of global soy lecithin supply led by the United States. Major manufacturers have large-scale production facilities based in Iowa, Nebraska, and other Midwestern states close to soybean growing regions. However, the market is witnessing new capacity additions in South America particularly in Argentina and Brazil where favorable climatic conditions allow high soybean yields. There is also rising investment interest in soy lecithin projects across Western Europe, Asia Pacific and Africa. Germany, Netherlands, China, and India have emerged as key importers and future growth centers for soy lecithin consumption worldwide. Customization Options Driving Innovation Leading suppliers are investing heavily in R&D to enhance applicability of soy lecithin through custom formulations and product modifications. Options like adjusting phospholipid profile and concentration of nutrients allow tailored solutions for various customer segments. Specialty variants containing high levels of specific fatty acids are used in dietary supplements. Pharmaceutical-grade lecithin meeting stringent purity criteria expands usability. Manufacturers also offer organic certification, non-GMO verification, halal and kosher certifications depending on target markets. Advanced technologies enable extraction of valuable by-products like steryl glucosides and protein fractions. Thus, continuous product development will sustain growth in high-value application segments.

Fresh vs. Frozen: Choosing the Best Meat Products in Malaysia

Malaysia, a vibrant hub of culinary traditions, is a country where food plays a central role in daily life. From sizzling satays to rich rendang, the choice of ingredients, especially meat, often determines the quality of the dish. In recent years, the debate between fresh and frozen meat has gained traction among Malaysian households and food enthusiasts. Understanding the differences and advantages of each can help you make informed decisions when shopping for meat products.

The Appeal of Fresh Meat

Fresh meat, typically sold in wet markets and some specialty stores, has long been the go-to choice for Malaysians. The sight of freshly butchered cuts and the ability to inspect the quality firsthand create a sense of trust and authenticity. Fresh meat is often perceived as:

Superior in Taste and Texture: Many believe that fresh meat retains a more natural flavor and a tender texture, making it ideal for dishes that require minimal seasoning, like grilled lamb chops or pan-seared chicken.

Minimal Processing: Fresh meat generally undergoes fewer processing steps compared to frozen meat, appealing to those seeking more natural and wholesome options.

Cultural Preference: For many Malaysians, fresh meat aligns with traditional cooking methods and recipes, particularly in kampungs (villages) where wet markets are a staple of daily life.

However, fresh meat comes with its own set of challenges. The shelf life is limited, often requiring immediate cooking or refrigeration to prevent spoilage. This can be a concern for busy households or those without access to reliable cold storage.

The Convenience of Frozen Meat

Frozen meat, on the other hand, offers unmatched convenience and practicality, especially for modern Malaysian households juggling busy schedules. Thanks to advancements in freezing technology, frozen meat products retain much of their original quality and are readily available in supermarkets across the country. Key advantages of frozen meat include:

Extended Shelf Life: Frozen meat can be stored for weeks or even months without compromising safety, making it a reliable option for meal planning.

Availability: Imported and exotic meat varieties, such as Australian beef or Norwegian salmon, are often available only in frozen form, providing greater variety to Malaysian consumers.

Cost-Effective: Frozen meat tends to be more affordable due to economies of scale in production and distribution, making it a budget-friendly choice for many families.

Reduced Waste: The ability to store frozen meat for long periods reduces the risk of wastage, which is an essential consideration for environmentally conscious shoppers.

Nevertheless, some consumers are skeptical about frozen meat due to misconceptions about quality. Proper thawing and storage techniques are crucial to preserving its taste and texture. When handled correctly, frozen meat can rival the quality of fresh cuts.

Health and Safety Considerations

When choosing between fresh and frozen meat in Malaysia, food safety is a critical factor. Fresh meat from reputable sources is generally safe, but it’s essential to ensure it has been stored at the correct temperature. Poor handling practices in some wet markets can expose fresh meat to contaminants.

Frozen meat, meanwhile, is often flash-frozen immediately after processing, which helps to lock in nutrients and reduce the risk of bacterial growth. As long as it is stored and thawed properly, frozen meat can be a safe and nutritious option. Malaysians should always check for proper labeling and certifications, such as halal compliance, which is crucial for the local market.

Choosing What’s Best for You

The decision between fresh and frozen meat ultimately depends on your lifestyle, cooking habits, and personal preferences. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:
