Sister Clarith's Curious Night

**Sister Clarith's Curious Night** is a song that is part of the "E.A.T Series". It tells the story of a nurse for an orphanage who goes searching for several missing children in a mysterious restaurant.

## Plot

A nurse for an orphanage named Clarith vists a strange restaurant to search for several missing children. However, when she talks to the manager, he says he has no idea what happened to them. As the nurse becomes saddened, the manager invites her to stay and eat something, with Clarith taking him up on his offer of a free meal; despite this, she then apologizes after he brings out a grilled fish, stating that her religion prohibits her from eating the flesh of any animal.

As the manager insists she eat it, Clarith relents and goes to cut the fish, only to find a brooch inside. Realizing that it belonged to one of the missing children, she sneaks into the back room to search for her; as she does this, she dodges past two angelic waiters. She then finds a single shoe that belonged to another child.

Finding herself standing before a foul-smelling kitchen, the nurse enters and finds a dog cook with blood on his knife, as well as a red cat eating a stew made from human fingers. Horrified, she notices that one of the fingers is wearing a ring that belonged to a third missing child. The nurse begins to despair as she thinks of what happened to the children. However, when she goes to turn around, she sees a rabbit, a moon bear, and a wicked fox approach her. She then screams before collapsing to the floor, seeing a girl with a horn on her forehead watching her before losing consciousness.

Later awakening back at the orphanage, she discovers that all of the missing children had returned, with none of them remembering anything from the past several days except for a fox playing a flute. As Clarith's peaceful days return, she comments on how the restaurant had seemingly disappeared from the forest, wondering what might have happened to her if she had eaten the meal that the manager had prepared for her.

## Lyrics

She had visited this restaurant

To search for some missing children

She had heard an awful rumor

That the children of the orphanage

Had been seen entering this establishment

But the masked manager who received her

Regretfully shook his head

"I wouldn't know anything about that"

Upon hearing that, the nurse

Dropped her shoulders, crestfallen

When she did, the manager led her over

To the best seat in the restaurant

"Since you are here, please

Have something to eat

...Ah, it is on the house"

*I am quite grateful to hear that*

*To tell you the truth,*

*I have not eaten since yesterday*

*Out of worry for the children*

The nurse decided to accept his kindness

And was eventually brought a delicious-looking meal

It looked like a sauteed white fish

When she saw it, she apologetically

Cast her eyes down

"According to my religion, I cannot

Partake in the flesh of anything living"

Though she was demure, the manager persisted

"Now, don't be that way, for your god's eyes

Can't reach you here in the forest"

Reluctantly, she cut into the fish with her knife

She would take just one bite and then leave

But as she was thinking this

She discovered that

There was something hard inside it

The nurse's face paled

That was a brooch that Rina had always worn

Rina was very good at swimming

And had made it herself by joining together pebbles

Which she had gathered from the sea

*What is something like this*

*Doing inside of this dish?*

*At the very least, I know that child*

*Must have come to this place*

She suddenly noticed that the manager

Was nowhere to be seen inside the restaurant

With a sense of unease, she unthinkingly

Stood from her seat, snuck past the angelic waiters,

And crept further into the back

Partway through the hallway,

She found a small dropped shoe

The nurse paled once again

That was Mark's shoe, who she knew

Had been a fast runner

She stood before a door leaking a pungent odor

The nurse timidly pushed it open

Inside was a kitchen splattered with blood and meat

The face of the man who was the cook

Was covered in thick fur

*You strange dog man*

*Who stands on two legs*

*That blood on your knife*

*Who does it belong to?*

On the counter, a red cat was eating

A bowl of stew filled with human fingers

Among the countless body parts

The nurse found one that was

Wearing an iron ring

She was certain that it belonged to Emma

Who had received it from her deceased parents

Dreadful images flashed through her mind

When she turned around, she was blocked by

A rabbit, a moon bear, and a wicked fox

The nurse screamed and collapsed on the spot

As she lost consciousness, she heard

Despair-ridden footsteps approaching her

Right before she passed out,

She saw a horned girl watching her

When the nurse awoke,

She had returned to the orphanage

And shortly after,

All of the missing children

Had safely returned as well

The children had no memory of the past few days

But they were very hungry

The only thing they could recall

Was a wicked fox

Who had been playing a flute

That restaurant and the building it was in

Vanished from the forest

It was as though it had

Never existed in the first place

And so their peaceful days returned

While baking some cookies as a snack

And brewing some tea for the children

The nurse began to wonder

If, back then, I had actually eaten any of the meal

That had been prepared for me

Just what in the world would have happened to me?
