#14 - Dining Table
Garo - Season 4 - Episode 10
Raiga is informed of the advent of the Horror Granda, but despite knowing the location, it is uncertain when it will appear, and thus Raiga and Mayuri leave to stand guard for its arrival. Before leaving, Raiga suggests to Gonza that he take the day off, but the butler offers some sandwiches for them to eat, and Mayuri claims that she cannot tell him how good it is because as a magic tool, she has no sense of taste. Gonza then spends his break with his old friend Anna. While out with her, Gonza expresses to Anna his attachment to Mayuri and his will to make her smile. Anna then suggests that he make Mayuri the special soup of the Saezima family. Elsewhere, Granda finally manifests itself and Mayuri recognizes it as one of the Horrors from the slate, but it still does not carry Eyrith's seed. As the Horror is defeated by Raiga and sealed by Mayuri, Gonza finishes cooking the soup, but feels it is not enough to please Mayuri until he has a plan. After Mayuri and Raiga return home, Gonza serves them the soup, and remembering how Mayuri smiled for a while while looking at a Makai painting, he asks Anna, who made the painting, to make a magic drawing on the plate, and she smiles just as Gonza expected. Gonza mentions that the soup is a special recipe exclusive to the members of the Saezima family, implying that he recognizes her as a part of it.
