Summary

Rohan is asked to work by a culinary magazine publisher and visits a recently opened casual French restaurant in Morioh to hear their presentation. The editor of the magazine, Toshiya Utsurogi (移季年野(うつろぎとしや), Utsurogi Toshiya), tells Rohan of their plan to publish a monthly collaboration gourmet manga with a popular writer in their magazine and Rohan as the artist. Rohan is reluctant because of the difference in style from his normal works.

Utsurogi then tells Rohan about the Gleanings of Paradise, which is said to be a legendary variety of wheat that can change the composition of the person who eats it. Utsurogi believes it could cure his daughter's allergy of wheat. He heard that a friend from his college days, Shozo Yaginuma (屋宜沼猩造(やぎぬましょうぞう), Yaginuma Shouzō), was growing that wheat. Thus, Rohan decides to go with Utsurogi to visit Yaginuma's cultivation area.
