Chapter 162
The culture of officers eating separately in their own mess hall disappeared about a year before Orca was discharged.
So yeah, even Orca has a traumatic memory tied to that seafood sauce.
Now that she’s out of the military, it’s been completely scrubbed from the menu—so rare you can’t even find it in stores anymore.
She loves seafood, but that sauce almost made her throw up.
It was, without exaggeration, the absolute worst example of food corruption ever served in the military.
You know how she brought home boxes of that abominable seafood sauce when she got discharged, even though it still had months left before expiration?
That was for one reason:
If anyone dared to say, “The military’s not that bad, right?”—
She could slam a can in their hands and reply, “This is the kind of shit they feed you.”
Why did she give some to Magia when she came over to help set up her gear?
