With the help of Labyrista, the Gourmet Guild members are able to avoid the mighty Shadow X's attacks and escape to a temporary version of the Landosol royal palace, created with her ability. Kokkoro is shocked to see a portrait of Pecorine hanging in the palace. Wearing a solemn expression, Pecorine reveals a big secret that she had been hiding all along.

One morning over breakfast, Kokkoro pulls out a map showing the location of the ultimate seasoning known as "Drops of the Sea." Though the information had proved too questionable for even the Guild Association, Pecorine insists that they go as part of their guild activities. Her enthusiasm proves to be contagious, and thus the Gourmet Guild sets off on a brand-new adventure.
