"You can only use 9 of them for the restaurant." "The last one is for me." "Think of it as my challenge to you." "I'll definitely win the fight!" "Hanako-san told me she wrote a recipe book for you." "Where did that recipe book go?" "I'm really glad you opened the restaurant." "I'm sorry." " So you put your guests first." "How wonderful." "But as a member of society, you're greatly mistaken." "Why don't we just take a break?" "Isn't this the worst birthday ever?" "Those hands used to be such pretty hands." "It's top quality stuff picked in Perigord." "These are the black diamonds I've been looking for!" "Yes." "What a nice smell!" "We got mushrooms here." " What?" "Seriously?" "See?" "They're pretty." "It's not about pretty or not, you can't eat those." "They're poisonous mushrooms, no matter how you look at it." "Poisonous?" "It's so hard to find them." "Found them!" "Enoki mushrooms!" "Yay!" "Eisuke!" "Eisukeeee!" "Then, he rolled down while still holding the mushrooms." "I think I almost heard the Super Mario 'game over' tune." "Okay!" "Ouch!" "You deserve it." "Is your ankle okay?" "Shut up, I'm fine." "I got them anyway." "Enoki mushrooms!" "Even though you don't have money, picking mushrooms in the morning isn't something that a former rocker would do." "Don't talk about rock anymore." "I no longer have anything to do with it." "I loved Eisuke the musician." "Why don't we just take a break?" "Ow!" "Get away." "Is he really alright?" "He couldn't sleep." "That's why he went mushroom picking in the morning." "Did something happen to Eisuke-san?" "Seem like something has happened with his girlfriend." "I see." "This is your big chance!" "You should get in between them, when their bond has weakened." "It's your chance to steal him away." "Steal him!" "?" "I can't do that..." "Then, how about Valentine?" "It's that time already?" "That's right!" "You have to pay attention to these things, if you keep laying back like that, you two will only ever be the chef and the restaurant guest." "Not to mention that guy seems very insensitive about these things." "He does seem insensitive." "He acts cold and unfriendly to everyone." "So, what's so good about that guy?" "Huh?" "Oh... but... he looks excited when he talks about cooking." "He can make good stuff and he knows a lot about vegetables." "Cooking, huh?" "Oh, right." "I just had an idea." "The ultimate Valentine strategy." "Ultimate Valentine strategy?" "It might be a good idea." "Let's get on with it." "Hold it." "Get on with it, what do you mean?" "Higashi-san, have you ever tasted his cooking?" "No." "But when he was a child," "I watched him cooking together with Hanako-san once." "He truly has skill." "No, it's not about technique." "Anyone can learn that as long as they have a certain level of training and common sense." "The most important thing for a chef is... a tongue that can sense whether or not his cooking is delicious." "You might be right." "What was that taste?" "It has been about a month since the new Le Petit Chou opened." "I paid the balance of their wages ten days ago, and finally got to quit the part-time job." "We're getting our own regular guests bit by bit, but I'm barely keeping the business going." "I don't even know what's going to happen next month." "The finances are quite tight." "Mariya." "Why would I see an illusion?" "Is it because I smelled those poisonous mushrooms?" "Shit!" "Ouch." "But, well, a bad situation might be good too, for a change." "Before when I was heartbroken, I always wanted to write songs." "I only have to channel that creativity into cooking now." "The Ultimate Valentine's Strategy." "No. 1" "Get close to him with cooking." "Can you teach me how to cook?" "In brackets, say it nonchalantly." "Just that one sentence is OK." "Can you teach me how to cook?" "Nonchalantly..." "Teach me how to cook, please." "Teach me..." "Smells so nice." "Good morning." "What are you doing here so early?" "I'm going to the campus now." "Passing by your place, I smelled something good." "So, I thought you might be here." "Did you come to eat something?" "I haven't done cooking yet." "That's not it." "I had my breakfast." "Rice with natto, nameko miso soup, dried mackerel and grated radish." "That's a nice breakfast menu." "Don't you think?" "The grated radish today is especially sweet." "Wait..." "I came here to ask you something." "Um..." "I..." "Would you..." "Uhh..." "Please..." "Say it already!" "Please go out with me!" "What!" "?" "Huh?" "Translator - yanie" "Editor - kimurafreak, Enggrrl" "What?" "What did I just say!" "?" "That's not it, no, no, sorry." "I mean..." "Please teach me how to cook." "How to cook?" "Yes, how to cook." "I love Eisuke-san's cooking, the gruel you made the other day was so delicious, so..." "I thought it'd be nice if I could make that myself one day." "Yes." "That's what I meant." "I'd like you to go out to teach me how to cook, so..." "Are you stupid?" "Why do I have to teach you that?" "I have no time and money." "There's no way I'd do that for you." "Oh, I see..." "I understand..." "Good." "Alright, brat, just hurry and go to campus." "Brat....a brat..." "Are you crying?" "I'm not." "But I couldn't say it nonchalantly in the end..." "I mis-said what I wanted to say, I just don't know what I'm doing..." "How annoying." "Don't cry just because I let you down." "Morning!" "Huh?" "What?" "What happened?" "A morning-after fight?" "No, it's not." "What are you doing here so early?" "Who's this round kid?" "How rude." "This is my cute son." "His name is Hyuma." "I'm sorry, but could you please take care of him until the 14th?" "I suddenly have to go to Kobe, and I can't find an available sitter." "Take care of him?" "I trust you." "What are they called?" "Mama Friends?" "His friends' mothers hate me." "Cause I never help with school activies or that stuff." "You can't just bring your kid here and..." "It's fine, it's fine." "Relax." "I'll pay you." "30,000 yen per day." "Not bad, huh?" "30,000 yen per day?" "Hyuma, be a good boy, okay?" "Once I finish my job, I'll be right back to pick you up." "Have a fun trip." "Good boy!" "When you feel lonely, you can call him Papa." "Oh, right." "Here." "Okay." "It's a bit early for Valentine Day but just take it." "Alright then, so I'm leaving him to you." "Bye." "Wait a sec!" "Shiroyama-san, wait..." "Hello." "Shit." "Why all of a sudden?" "So, you're a papa?" "That's impossible!" "I'm not good with kids and girls." "You don't look like you understand women at all, indeed." "Nothing." "Well, I'll be going." "Hey, hold on..." "You're a woman, so can I ask you one thing?" "Yes?" "What does it mean when a woman says "Let's take a break"?" "Um..." "It's not that she has come to hate you, but perhaps she might not need you at the moment." "I'm sorry." "Did that hurt you?" "No, not at all." "It did." "It didn't." "It did." "It didn't hurt me." "Who are you to say that, anyway?" "Goodbye, then." "I'm not hurt." "I'm the one who's hurt." "Geez." "Yamate Eisuke, 30 years old." "Influenced by his mother who was a French chef, he started cooking in childhood." "When he was in the 2nd grade of elementary school, he won a cooking contest with "Fish baked in a pie crust" and beat a high school student." "However, he was attracted to rock music during junior high, formed a band with his hometown friends and played bass." "This information means nothing to me." "He was mixed up back then." "He argued with the lecturer, and said nonsense like his right hand exists for rock, and that cooking is secondary for him." "That's a curse against cooking." "However, when I tasted his cooking in the school contest," "I was speechless." "You mean...?" "I'm afraid." "I'm afraid of his talent." "Are you serious?" "Or is that just the sentimentalism of a man in his 30s?" "If he quit rock and went back to cooking, it doesn't mean that he was abandoned by the God of Rock." "It means the Goddess of Cuisine has never let him go." "If what he said was true, this'll be interesting." "What do you mean?" "It means he's worth destroying." "You're not eating?" "Why?" "There's nothing to eat here." "I cooked all these, y'know!" "Eat them!" "Eat!" "I can't believe we have started to normally cook foods like this." "Yeah." "That's right." "This ginger pork saute is good." "Pfft." "What "pfft"?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Stop it, stop." "This... meat..." "You have to respect foods!" "The taste sucks!" "You're still saying that?" "Then, what can you eat?" "I'll go and get it for you." "Should I go?" "Hamburger and chicken nuggets." "Are you American?" "What did you have for breakfast?" "Pancakes and donuts." "Listen." "I think you've never eaten vegetables before." "So, stop complaining and just eat the salad!" "I just ate potato chips." "Potato chips are not a vegetable!" "But a potato is a vegetable." "It is a vegetable." "But in terms of nutrients, it contains a lot of carbohydrates, so it's closer to rice than to a vegetable." "Is that so." "A bit unrelated, but when I was pregnant, somehow I came to love potato chips, so I ate them everyday and my belly got bigger and bigger." "I thought the baby has gotten bigger, but apparently I was just getting fat." "Mutsuko-san, so you have a child." "Yes." "Actually, my child and my husband..." "Just eat the salad already." "No!" "Hurry eat them!" "C'mon." "No!" "Come on!" "Eat!" "Let's stop it." "He's Shiroyama-san's kid." "Whoever's brat he is, I won't let anyone waste food or eat an unbalance meal in my place." "'Ta hell with macrobiotics!" "Dammit!" "Macrobiotic?" "You're talking about another topic here..." "What's your name?" "Hyuma." "How do you write that?" "Fly, kind and horse characters." "I see, but you're not a flying horse at all now." "A fatso can't fly, you're just a piglet." "Young master, you don't have to tell off a little child that far." "That was mean." "You're acting like a brat yourself." "See?" "He's crying now." "Don't cry, okay?" "Okay?" "Don't spoil him!" "We should let brats cry." "I'm hungry." "I wonder what they're eating now." "Taku-san, let's have lunch together." "Looks good!" "Yay!" "Thanks a bunch!" "Say... does joining a band make you popular?" "Guess people have that wrong impression about us, huh." "Well, not all get popular." "I'm very popular, though." "It must be nice." "I want to have a girlfriend too." "It's good." "Does it mean Eisuke-san was popular too?" "Him?" "No, no, he had the smallest number of fans." "He is quite good looking, but so unfriendly and he doesn't understand women either." "However somehow a part of the female fans were attracted to that type, instead." "Shall I help you?" "Chie-chan." "(SNS Community" " Wives and Girlfriends of Chefs Gathering)" "My husband goes out at 8 o'clock in the morning, and he works during lunch and dinner times, too." "He'd come back home at 1AM." "He doesn't get days off." "We never go on a family vacation trip." "(Soy Flour)" "I feel like a single mother now, since there are only me and my child in the house most of the time." "(King Oyster Mushroom)" "I know how you feel." "But in my case, we're not even trying to get pregnant at all now." "When he comes home, he's too exhausted to have sex." "(Frappe)" "Why does a cook get such a pittance for salary?" "(Coupe)" "I have to work part-time too, because we have a tight budget." "(Marmalade)" "Is that so." "I wonder why guys who cook always act so cocky?" "Tell me about it." "Yeah." "Say... how about you, Marmalade-san?" "Recently, my boyfriend changed jobs and became a chef, then I started to have doubts." "I don't want to be mean, but if you're dreaming of a normal and happy family, then you better not marry a chef." "What?" "I heard the chef's divorce rate in France is high." "I guess it's all the same everywhere." "So terrible." "Gee... (Mushroom Fair)" "The Mushroom Fair is a success among the girls." "Yes." "Hyuma-kun should have tasted them too." "My black diamonds..." "What a nice smell." "Why did you buy truffles?" "Why?" "It's a mushroom fair this week, right?" "Where did you get the money to buy such high class stuff?" "It's high class?" "It's suppose to be mushrooms right?" "They look like rocks." "That's right." "They're top quality stuff." "So, Eisuke..." "Please lend me 200,000 yen." "I have to transfer the money to France no later than today." "200,000 yen?" "Stop kidding me, just return them." "I really want them, though." "But..." "With our finances now, it's impossible for us to buy those." "Apparently, Hyuma-kun is called 'piglet' too, in his school." "That's why he was surprised and cried hard earlier." "He's quite a good kid." "He knows his mother is working hard, so he's not complaining and is here at this kind of place." "He must be hungry too." "He might be trying hard not to give in." "Cause you picked a fight with him..." "Hurry up." "Get your clothes and we'll go." "Sorry, Eisuke." "How are things?" "Is Hyuma being a good boy?" "He won't eat at all." "He won't eat?" "I see." "Then, just give him the frozen pancakes in the refrigerator." "Let him have that." "He likes it." "No, what I want him to eat is..." "Shiroyama-san, do you cook at home?" "Of course." "Like, pasta, pizza, boiled egg..." "How about, like, slicing and stir-frying the ingredients?" "Don't tell me, you're peeking in my refrigerator!" "?" "Do you know that having someone peeking in your refrigerator is more embarrassing than having someone peeking at your underpants?" "What do you mean?" "You really don't get women, do you?" "I have work to do, bye." "What's wrong with him?" "Do you know what these are?" "Leaves?" "What kind of leaves?" "Spinach?" "Mustard spinach... no, it's not it." "I've seen that somewhere on the field." "This is radish." "Isn't radish white?" "It's the radish leaves." "Radish grows inside the soil like this." "No wonder I've seen that before." "I'll have you eat this now." "No." "Leaves are bug food." "Radish leaves are valuable food for humans." "I'll make you understand that now." "Here." "This won't burden an empty stomach." "It's not for you yet." "It's good!" "It is, right?" "This is called "Rice with greens and cream sauce"." "It's warm and delicious." "So good!" "This is good, indeed." "Taste so good!" "What is this?" "I went to France with my parents when I was about your age." "You went to France when you were in elementary school?" "You must be rich." "No, it was a trip with a very limited budget." "We bought cheap tickets and had connecting flights a few times for several days." "I was a normal kid and wanted to go to Disneyland or an amusement park, but why do we have to do this?" "I blamed my parents quietly." "So you blamed us." "But the food was amazing." "It was the first time I ate real butter." "Various flavors of cheese." "We went to a few top class restaurants." "We were dressed in weird clothes, but the real top class French restaurants were very friendly in welcoming us." "I will never forget the flavor of the food from that time or the food mother made at home." "If I can cook better than other people, then it's not because of my talent, but it's thanks to my parents." "It's all thanks to my parents who fed me with such delicious foods from childhood." "You're not listening?" "It was good!" "Can I have some more?" "Even if you have seconds or thirds of this the calories are still lower than one pack of those snacks you used to eat." "Really?" "If you keep getting fatter, you'll be troubled, right?" "If you eat healthy stuff from childhood, you will always be healthy when you grow up." "Be healthy and live long enough to watch out and take care of your mother." ""When you wish to be filial, your parents are gone."" "That proverb might be true." "Say..." "May I write that down?" "Sounds like older women would like those words." "Older women, huh..." "No way!" "So, you're still with her?" "You guys haven't broken up?" "Well, I guess she meant we should break up..." "Oh well..." "I don't get women, anyway, so I don't know." "Girls are so annoying." "What, you too!" "?" "Yeah." "My girls classmates are calling me 'piglet' or 'fatso'." "They're all fat too, though." "So, the ones who called you that were girls." "I want to lose weight." "I want to change." "But I don't know what to do." "Alright!" "Leave it to me!" "How could you confess to him right there?" "That wasn't the strategy we talked about!" "What are you doing?" "But, isn't Taku-san nice?" "He's hot too." "You're right." "I thought he was the frivolous type, but apparently he's a nice guy." "I would go after him, instead, if I were you." "Say, say, say..." "Should I get this for my Dad for Valentine's Day?" "... isn't this nice?" "It is." "I'll get this for Dad and Sasuke." "Yeah, it's good." "Then, how about for that guy?" "I was thinking of making it myself, but..." "No way!" "Chie's hand-made chocolate?" "But there's no way I'd confess again, and he'll definitely say it tastes bad, whatever I make." "I shouldn't say this in such a place with an atmosphere full of love..." "But, I'm withdrawing from the Valentine strategy..." "Are you sure?" "You won't take advantage of this event?" "I won't." "It's fine." "I'm not the snack type, I'm more of the vegetable type, after all." "I'll just make some pickles on the 14th." "That's new." "But my Mom and I love your pickled stuff." "Hello." "Sasuke?" "Hello, it's me!" "Are you free on the 14th?" "If you're free," "I don't mind giving you cooking lessons." "But I need your help in return." "I'm bad with women and kids and the other guys are former rockers, too." "So they're not used to it..." "So... uhh..." "Hey, hey." "It's Chie." "Right, right, Chie!" "I need your help." "What was that about?" "What should I do?" "I'm going to make chocolates, after all." "That's too big!" "These are small." "No, no, take a look." "So small!" "Thank you." "Let's make a better meal." "(Lovely Dietary Education" " Aso Tokio)" "Thank you." "Yes." "Okay." "Looks nice!" "Looks nice." "The chocolate here... make it more on the small side." "Why can't I do it well?" "Wait, no..." "I..." "I can't take this apart." "There's no oil in my fingers." "Children's Cooking Class" " February 14th Sandwiches and Rolled Sushi" "Wait for me." "Yes." "Hello." "Hello." "Oh, hello." "Let's have fun." "I'm excited." "Can you believe this?" "Not so long ago, we were rebelling against the society and singing, but now we're in a position to teach kids something." "Never mind that, let's just start." "Leave the rest to us." "Alright." "Okay!" "Everyone, gather up here." "Okaay." "Today, we'll teach you how to make easy and delicious food that you can make yourself." "First of all..." "First of all, let me put on some music." "Cooking is about fun." "We have to enjoy making and eating it." "Okay." "Today, we'll make sandwiches and sushi rolls using the ingredients you like." "First, you have to know the ingredients." "Anything is fine, try taking something into your hands." "Okaay!" "Feel it first." "How is it?" "What do you feel?" "It's cold." "It's rugged." "It's red and pretty." "That's good." "I picked this lettuce myself from the field, you know." "You can get lettuce from a field?" "Lettuce is grown in fields." "I'll take you to go and see the field next time." "A pinch of salt." "This avocado mayonnaise is very delicious." "How many grams is a pinch?" "Well, don't think about it too much." "You'll know it with your fingers when you get used to it." "Someone like me can tell how much a piece of meat weighs just by lightly touching it." "That's amazing." "Amazing." "Mix this up." "Okay, taste it." "It's good." "It's good." "Hey, do it quickly." "It'll get burned." "It's doing good." "It's not." "Let me see." "Hey, it's getting everywhere." "Do it over there." "Next time you come, we'll we can't give you much, but we'll give you a discount." "That's great." "Oh?" "Oh, you did it?" "Insert the ham and you're done." "Yeah, do it like this and insert all the ingredients you like." "Okaay!" "Okay!" "Alright." "Look, you did it." "Yay!" "I thought I'd fail." "You did it." "How cool." "Then, put it here." "Welcome." "Please fill in the space from here." "Welcome." "Eating properly keeps you healthy." "However, we need to be concerned about the rise in overweight children, unbalanced diets from infancy, nutrient loss caused by careless cooking are all things that might affect children's health."

"Aso-san is running a good business." "This way, he'll make more money from the housewives." "Mama..." "I'm hungry." "Hey, don't eat it yet." "Before you eat that, answer me this..." "How was today?" "It was fun." "Me too!" "Me too." "It was fun." "Me too." "It was fun." "I had fun too." "But we can't have this everyday, huh." "Yeah, I know." "I eat snacks and fast foods too." "But we can't just keep eating the easy food." "In life, the more you feel bitter and pain, the better music and foods you can make..." "No, I mean, you have to know many, many foods, and eat more various foods." "There are mountains of more delicious foods you don't know in this world." "Hyuma." "Mama." "Huh?" "Shiroyama-san..." "You shouldn't have come back until tomorrow..." "Hyuma, are you okay?" "He told me that you weren't eating so I got worried." "What's going on here?" "Huh?" "What is this?" "This is for you, Mom." "This?" "I made this myself." "It has a lot of vegetables, so it's very nutritious." "I'll help you cook meals from now on." "You should eat more delicious food and live longer." "Hyuma." "I know." "I realized it." "I got so busy, that I couldn't properly cook food for you." "But I had to work hard..." "Don't cry, mama." "I know that you're working hard both at work and at home." "Hyuma, sorry, I'm so sorry." "I'll work harder for you." "I'll work harder to make something more delicious for you." "Hyuma..." "It's good." "This is good." "You made this?" "It's good?" "It's great." "You're good at this." "Good job today!" "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Huh?" "Where's Dad?" "He went home." "He's going to return the truffle." "Oh right." "The truffle chocolate." "Chie." "Sorry about today." "You even had to help clean up." "Ah, it's fine." "I really had fun too." "Really?" "That's good, then." "Um..." "Oh right." "I've been thinking for a while..." "Could you possibly have feelings for me?" "What?" "I mean, the other day... you asked me to go out with you." "To think of it, that must be a confession." "Confession!" "?" "How could you ask about that at this kind of moment?" "No, I was just thinking, it's all makes sense now." "She comes here so often, she's cheeky but sometimes she's so nice to me, for some reason." "So, I thought, I should at least ask her..." "Ouch!" "You jerk!" "Wai.. hey, you.. hold on..." "What!" "Get off me!" "My sprained ankle..." "Well...?" "125 grams." "C cup." "How could you!" "What a jerk." "Eisuke, this is exactly why you're not popular." "Shut up." "I don't get women." "And yet, you wrote such mellow lyrics." "Anyway, what did you intend to do by asking her that?" "Honestly, what do you think of her?" "What do you think of Chie-chan?" "What do I think?" "Nothing..." "You..." "Good evening." "I would like to make a reservation for 1 person on the 18th." "The person is our restaurant's owner, Mr. Aso." "Yes." "It's me." "Yamate Eisuke." "I want to give you a chance to get your revenge for the last fight." "What?" "This time," "I'd like to officially have a meal here as a guest." "Then, I will decide..." "Whether or not this place deserve the name" ""Le Petit Chou"." "Why should he take this challenge?" "I accept." "I wasn't satisfied with the last one either." "This time" "I'll make you appreciate this restaurant." "That's good." "Then, let's stake this restaurant's name." "Name?" "Yes." "If I'm not satisfied by my meal here," "I'll take "Le Petit Chou", this restaurant's name." "Full course, please." "I'll take a guess of what kind this restaurant is." "What...?" "It's too early to feel excited." "I'll beat you." "I think I still need you." "As a woman, he's someone not worth worrying about." "I guess I like Eisuke-san, after all." "I like you too."
