Hmm, this 'Happy Meal' phenomenon has persisted for over 40 years now...
Frieren
Fascinating how humans find joy in temporary food containers with small toys.
Donato Marcille
Are you certain this isn't monster meat? These 'chicken nuggets' sound suspiciously like some dungeon creature.
Frieren
I assure you, Marcille, it's just chicken. I've watched humans eat these for centuries.
Frieren
Himmel particularly enjoyed what they call the 'Big Mac.'
Donato Marcille
But it looks so... processed. Even dungeon monsters have a more natural appearance than this.
Frieren
Humans have optimized food for efficiency. This establishment can serve a meal in under one minute.
Frieren
That's quite impressive for beings with such short lifespans.
Donato Marcille
This is... actually good? The flavor profile is so uniform and consistent!
Donato Marcille
I wonder if I could recreate this taste with dungeon ingredients!
Frieren
See? Human culture has its merits. I've tried this in 47 countries over 300 years.
Frieren
The recipe changes slightly, but the experience remains remarkably consistent.
Donato Marcille
We must bring Stark and Fern here next time! These dipping sauces have more variety than my spell repertoire!
Donato Marcille
Now I understand why humans line up for these. It's better than most tavern fare in the kingdom!
