[00:00] Mako
    Lazing around? The name is just a front?
[00:03] Mako
    If we're not going to be cooking or anything,
    then what's this club for?
[00:08] Shinon
    Makocchi... I'm glad you asked.
[00:12] Shinon
    This club's true purpose is...
[00:15] Mako
    Is...?
[00:17] Shinon
    ...something that we're all
    going to look for together!
[00:20] Mako
    Wha...
[00:21] Shinon
    But never mind that.
    Let's check out the club room!
[00:25] Tsutsuji
    Sure...
[00:29] Shinon
    This place looks pretty deserted.
[00:31] Tsutsuji
    Then we can do what we like without
    worrying about bothering anyone.
[00:35] Tsutsuji
    That's good, right?
[00:38] Shinon
    This club room has running water.
[00:41] Tsutsuji
    And there's a table over there.
[00:44] Shinon
    Nice!
[00:45] Kurea
    Sorry, Kawai-san.
[00:47] Kurea
    Did we get your hopes up about cooking here?
[00:50] Mako
    Huh? Oh, not really... I just heard
    "Food Culture Research Club"
[00:54] Mako
    and jumped to conclusions about the name.
[00:56] Kurea
    Oh. Are you good at cooking?
[00:58] Mako
    N-No, I wouldn't say I'm good at it, exactly...
[01:00] Mako
    I cook for myself, but it's nothing special.
[01:03] Kurea
    Cooking for yourself is already special!
[01:05] Kurea
    I mean, I almost never cook
    outside of work, myself.
[01:08] Mako
    Th-Thanks.
[01:10] Shinon
    Makocchi! Kurea! Hurry up!
[01:12] Kurea
    Yeah, okay!
[01:14] Kurea
    Those two are pretty carefree, huh?
[01:16] Kurea
    We should just take it easy, too. Right?
[01:19] Mako
    Yeah.
[01:21] Shinon
    This is it! Our club room,
    soon to be our castle!
[01:24] Shinon
    Now, everyone... It's time to open the
    door to the club room of our dreams!
[01:34] Mako
    So much dust!
[01:36] Kurea
    How long has this room been out of use?
[01:41] Tsutsuji
    It's full of junk,
    and there's a ton of cobwebs.
[01:46] Shinon
    Well, everyone...
[01:49] Shinon
    It would appear that our
    club's true purpose...
[01:53] Shinon
    is to give this club room
    a grand cleaning tomorrow!
[01:57] Kurea
    So we'll have no purpose after tomorrow?
SIGN    Episode 2 "I Might Want to Cook"
[03:34] Mako; internal
    I'm so sleepy after all those classes...
[03:38] Tsutsji
    Makocchi.
[03:44] Mako
    Are you okay?!
[03:45] Tsutsuji
    I'm sorry for startling you.
[03:48] Tsutsuji
    Physically, I'm no match for you.
[03:50] Mako
    Physically?
[03:51] Mako
    But you're okay?
[03:53] Tsutsuji
    I'm just fine.
[03:55] Tsutsuji
    My backpack acted as a cushion,
    and my forehead doesn't hurt.
[03:59] Mako
    I-I'm glad to hear that.
[04:01] Tsutsuji
    If you're finished with your classes,
[04:03] Tsutsuji
    would you like to come
    to the club room with me?
[04:05] Mako
    H-Huh? Sure.
[04:08] Mako; internal
    She's Oshinko's friend...
    Tsutsuji Higa-chan, right?
[04:13] Mako; internal
    I forget people's names so quickly.
[04:16] Mako; internal
    I need an easy-to-remember nickname.
[04:19] Mako; internal
    Tsutsuji Higa... Tsutsuji Higa...
[04:22] Mako; internal
    Hitsuji-chan? But that'd be
    like calling her "Sheep."
[04:23] Tsutsuji; imaginary
    Baaa.
SIGN    Baaa
[04:26] Tsutsuji
    Is something wrong?
[04:27] Mako
    Huh? N-No, nothing at all.
[04:34] Shinon
    Hey! 'Sup, Makocchi! Tsutsuji!
[04:37] Mako
    Oh, you're already here!
[04:39] Shinon
    Yeah. Did you bring any cleaning supplies?
[04:42] Mako
    Now that you mention it, I didn't.
[04:44] Tsutsuji
    Neither did I.
[04:46] Shinon
    I expected that, so...
[04:48] Shinon
    I ambushed the other clubs
    and borrowed some!
[04:51] Mako
    Shinon-chan, you really know
    how to talk to people.
[04:54] Kurea
    First, let's carry out everything
    that's in the room.
[04:57] Shinon
    Right!
[05:07] Shinon
    Tsutsuji, Tsutsuji!
[05:09] Shinon
    There was a plastic bottle cap on the ground.
[05:11] Shinon
    And it's the first pitch!
[05:13] Shinon
    She winds up and throws!
[05:20] Shinon
    And that's the first out! The winner is me!
[05:23] Shinon
    Tsutsuji-kun, you can use a dustpan
    for the next one if you want.
[05:28] Shinon
    You'll never hit anything with
    that skinny broom handle.
[05:31] Tsutsuji
    Well, if you say so.
[05:33] Tsutsuji
    Don't come crying to me later when you lose.
[05:50] Kurea
    Are you two up to something?
[05:52] Shinon
    No, nothing at all.
[05:54] Shinon
    There's no reason for us to
    be up to anything, is there?
[05:58] Kurea
    Oh? You've been goofing off
    for a while now, though.
[06:02] Kurea
    Come on, get cleaning.
[06:13] Shinon
    Don't worry, Makocchi!
[06:14] Shinon
    I'm going to destroy the
    evidence now. Just watch!
[06:17] Mako
    Huh?
[06:26] Shinon
    Ugh, the ceiling's dirty, too!
    I wonder if I can reach it.
[06:30] Shinon
    I can't quite make it. Just a little farther!
[06:33] Shinon
    Let's see...
[06:51] Kurea
    Get back to cleaning.
[06:54] Shinon
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:04] Kurea
    There! I think the cleaning's all done now.
[07:08] Shinon
    Yay! Now we can roll around on the floor!
[07:10] Tsutsuji
    I think I'll just live here now.
[07:12] Kurea
    In a room with nothing in it?
[07:15] Shinon
    Come on. We can bring all that stuff later.
[07:18] Mako
    Bring stuff? Like what?
[07:21] Shinon
    Stuff you like, maybe?
[07:25] Shinon
    Well, it's getting late. Let's call it a day.
[07:28] Shinon
    Next time we come, let's all
    bring something we like.
[07:31] Shinon
    Oh! And I'll start a group chat
    so we can keep in touch.
[07:34] Kurea
    Okay.
[07:38] Mokotaro
    This pilaf is the best, moko!
[07:41] Mako
    Pilaf, huh? I'd love to
    make that with the club.
[07:46] Mako
    But I don't think I'll be able to cook there.
[07:48] Mako
    What should I bring for the club room?
[07:50] Mokotaro
    If you want to make it,
    you should just tell everyone!
[07:54] Mako
    Huh?
[07:55] Mako
    M-Mokotaro?!
[07:58] Mako
    W-Well... that's easier said than done.
[08:02] Mokotaro
    That's true...
[08:03] Mokotaro
    If I put myself forward and mess
    everything up, what'll I do, moko?
[08:07] Mako
    There's another Mokotaro!
[08:09] Mokotaro
    If I'm only going to cause trouble for people,
[08:12] Mokotaro
    maybe I should just stay quiet
    in the background, like a plant.
[08:16] Mako
    That negative attitude...
    That's not the real Mokotaro, is it?
[08:22] Mako as Mokotaro
    Sitting in the corner always puts me at ease.
[08:25] Mako as Mokotaro
    I wanna put down roots here
    and become a bean sprout.
SIGN    hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
[08:33] Mako
    Ow!
[08:39] Mako
    It was all a dream.
[08:42] Mako
    What kind of dream was that?
[08:51] Mako
    We have a table!
[08:53] Shinon
    Kurea brought it for us!
[08:56] Kurea
    It's just something we had
    collecting dust in our storage shed.
[08:59] Mako
    The four of us can all sit here now.
[09:01] Kurea
    What did you bring, Shinon?
[09:03] Shinon
    Well...
[09:05] Shinon
    Ta-da! I brought a game console,
    model kits, and card games!

[09:08] Kurea
    Those are all just toys.
[09:11] Kurea
    Didn't you have anything more practical?
[09:13] Shinon
    Now, now. We said we'd bring
    stuff we liked, right?
[09:17] Kurea
    I mean, we did say that, but first we should—
[09:20] Mako
    Is someone at the door?
[09:26] Mako; Shinon; Kurea
    It's huge!
[09:32] Tsutsuji
    Thanks for opening the door for me.
[09:34] Mako
    What's with the huge stuffed animal?
[09:36] Tsutsuji
    No, no. This is no stuffed animal.
[09:40] Tsutsuji
    It's a sofa that you never
    leave once you sit on it.
SIGN    plop
[09:43] Mako; internal
    "Hitsuji-chan" does suit her after all.

[09:46] Tsutsuji
    Yep... This sofa really is relaxing.
[09:51] Kurea
    What's the black case for?
[09:54] Tsutsuji
    That's my ukulele.
[09:55] Tsutsuji
    All the other rooms around here are empty,
    so I figured I wouldn't bother anyone.
[10:00] Kurea
    Really? You should play for us sometime!
[10:03] Tsutsuji
    Of course.
[10:05] Shinon
    What'd you bring, Makocchi?
[10:07] Mako
    Um...
[10:08] Mako
    I-I brought this.
[10:10] Shinon
    Ooh, a kettle!
[10:12] Mako
    I thought we could use it to have tea together.
[10:15] Mako
    And...
[10:17] Mako
    I also brought a pack of teabags
    and some paper cups.
[10:19] Mako
    Would you like some?
[10:28] Kurea
    This is so relaxing.
[10:30] Tsutsuji
    Drinking tea in a club room we
    set up ourselves is pretty special.
[10:35] Kurea; background
    It's so peaceful.
[10:36] Mako; internal
    Even if I can't cook here, hanging out
    with the others might still be pretty fun.
[10:38] Shinon; background
    I ran out. Tsutsuji, another cup!
[10:41] Tsutsuji; background
    Well, if I must.
[10:45] staff
    Oh, sorry to interrupt your tea break.
[10:48] clerk
    I'm here to verify your club activities.
[10:54] Mako; Shinon
    Huh?
[11:00] Kurea
    You're here to verify our club activities?
    What exactly does that involve?
[11:05] Shinon
    My lady, this is black tea,
    if you'd like some.
[11:08] clerk
    Thanks.
[11:09] clerk
    It's pretty much what it sounds like.
[11:11] clerk
    Every so often, people use made-up names
[11:14] clerk
    to create fake clubs with no real activities.
[11:18] clerk
    That's why we double-check every
    newly formed club in person.
[11:22] Shinon
    You don't say.
[11:25] Shinon
    There are some real slippery
    jerks out there, huh?
[11:27] clerk
    Indeed.
[11:28] Shinon
    Out of curiosity—just pure curiosity—
    what action is taken against such people?
[11:34] clerk
    Well, their clubs are disbanded.
[11:36] Shinon
    Right! Of course!
[11:37] clerk
    And so, I'll need you to show me something
    representing your club activities by tomorrow.
[11:42] clerk
    Thanks for the tea.
[12:00] Shinon
    One problem: we're a fake club!
[12:03] Shinon
    No one told me they'd be
    coming by to verify us!
[12:07] Shinon
    What does this club do?!
[12:10] Kurea
    Uh, you're the one who started it.
[12:12] Tsutsuji
    We wrote a bunch of stuff about
    club activities on the application.
[12:17] Shinon
    We did?
[12:19] Tsutsuji
    Well, you didn't write anything,
    so I filled it in.
[12:22] Tsutsuji
    And I took a photo to refer to later.
[12:24] Shinon
    Excellent work, Tsutsuji!
[12:27] Kurea
    "Club activities:
[12:28] Kurea
    We seek to deepen our understanding
    of food culture through
[12:32] Kurea
    academic research, profiling
    restaurants, cooking, and so on."
[12:36] Mako
    Cooking?
[12:37] Kurea
    What did you mean by "academic research"?
[12:40] Tsutsuji
    Researching food culture and putting
    together a report, for example.
[12:44] Shinon
    I don't wanna do academic research.
    It sounds like effort.
[12:47] Tsutsuji
    Could we profile your
    family's restaurant, Kurea?
[12:50] Kurea
    We need it by tomorrow, right?
    I can't set things up that quickly.
[12:54] Mako
    U-Um...
[12:57] Mako
    I... might want to cook.
[13:01] Tsutsuji
    Who else here can cook?
[13:03] Tsutsuji
    I can't at all.
[13:07] Kurea
    Sure, I don't mind cooking. I'll join you.
[13:11] Mako
    Just so you know, it's not like
    I'm actually good or anything.
[13:14] Kurea
    Don't worry! It'll be fine!
[13:16] Kurea
    We're not aiming for restaurant quality here.
    Let's just have fun together.
[13:21] Shinon
    If we need something by tomorrow,
    then cooking is the quickest option.
[13:25] Shinon
    Then it's decided! We'll cook!
[13:28] Tsutsuji
    But what'll we do for equipment?
[13:31] Shinon
    What? This university doesn't
    have any home ec. classrooms?
[13:34] Tsutsuji
    Nope.
[13:35] Mako
    I don't think we can cook
    much with just a kettle.
[13:40] Shinon
    All right! I'll figure something
    out by tomorrow!
[13:46] Kurea
    Figure something out?
[13:47] Kurea
    Do you have equipment already?
    Or money to buy some?
[13:50] Shinon
    I sure don't.
[13:51] Kurea
    But you do have some kind of idea, right?
[13:54] Shinon
    I sure don't!
[13:57] Shinon
    Just leave it to me! For today,
    you are dismissed!
[14:12] Mako
    Neither of them are picking up?
[14:14] Kurea
    No.
[14:15] Mako
    I see.
[14:16] Mako
    I brought an apron and a frying
    pan from my place, but...
[14:20] Kurea
    You can't use a frying pan
    without a heat source.
[14:24] Kurea
    And all we have right now is a kettle.
[14:27] Kurea
    The most we can make with
    hot water is instant noodles.
[14:31] Mako
    What about eggs?
[14:33] Mako
    We might be able to make onsen eggs
    if we put them in hot water.
[14:36] Mako
    But will she really consider instant noodles
    with onsen eggs to be something we cooked?
[14:42] Kurea
    Yeah... Maybe not.
SIGN    Shinon
[14:47] Mako
    It's Shinon-chan.
[14:49] Shinon
    'Sup, Makocchi?
[14:51] Shinon
    Oh, Kurea! You're there, too? Sorry!
    I didn't notice you'd called earlier.
[14:55] Shinon
    You see...
[14:56] Shinon
    We've gotten our hands
    on some cooking equipment!
[14:58] Mako
    What? Really?
[14:59] Shinon
    Really, for reals!
[15:01] Shinon
    I ambushed some other
    clubs and research teams,
[15:03] Shinon
    and they gave me stuff they weren't using!
[15:05] Mako
    Wow! You even have a fridge
    and a portable stove.
[15:08] Mako
    You've got everything!
[15:10] Shinon
    Which is why we'll leave
    the cooking prep to you!
[15:13] Tsutsuji
    Oh, and if you could pick up some
    energy drinks, too, please.
[15:16] Mako
    A-All right.
[15:18] Kurea
    Looks like we don't have to make do
    with instant noodles anymore.
[15:22] Mako
    Y-Yeah.
[15:23] Kurea
    But what should we make?
[15:26] Kurea
    Something safe, like curry?
[15:28] Mako
    U-Um...
[15:31] Mako
    I'd like to make the dish in this video.
[15:34] Kurea
    Let's see...
[15:38] Kurea
    Yeah, looks good! Let's make that!
[15:44] Mako
    You really did find all kinds of things.
[15:46] Tsutsuji
    We've been working very hard.
[15:49] Kurea
    That's all well and good,
    but what about all this bric-a-brac?
[15:53] Shinon
    They didn't need it, so why not?
[15:55] Kurea
    Sounds like they just wanted you
    to take it off their hands.
[15:59] Mako
    In any case, we should start by
    washing the pots and tableware.
[16:03] Shinon
    Yeah, good point. You do that,
    and we'll set up the furniture.
[16:07] Kurea
    Right.
[16:11] Kurea
    I was worried for a minute there,
    but I'm glad it all worked out somehow.
[16:15] Mako
    Yeah.
[16:17] clerk
    Oh, hard at work, I see.
[16:20] Shinon
    The clerk is here!
[16:22] Shinon
    Miss Clerk, as you can see,
    we're currently engaging in club activities!
[16:26] clerk
    Right.
[16:27] Shinon
    What do you think? Our two club
    members here are washing dishes.
[16:30] clerk
    I can see that, yes. I'll need
    to check your club room, too.
[16:36] clerk
    There's a lot more in here
    than there was yesterday.
[16:38] Shinon
    Isn't there? It's like a real club room, isn't it?
[16:42] clerk
    What are those?
[16:44] Shinon
    Oh, those are ingredients.
[16:46] clerk
    You just say whatever
    pops into your head, huh?
[16:49] clerk
    You bought ingredients?
[16:49] Shinon
    Oh, not really...
[16:51] Mako
    Y-Yes. Just now at the supermarket.
[16:54] Mako
    We're about to start cooking.
[16:56] clerk
    Well, you did list cooking as a
    club activity on your application.
[17:00] clerk
    I guess we can say you're actually doing it.
[17:04] Shinon
    All right! This means we
    get to keep our club room!
[17:09] Mako
    What a relief, huh, Shinon-chan?
[17:12] Kurea
    I was really worried there.
    Let's give it our best, Kawai-san!
[17:12] Tsutsuji
    Bravo, bravo.
[17:15] Shinon
    Yay!
[17:17] clerk
    Oh, that's right.
[17:19] clerk
    About this...
[17:20] Mako
    The portable gas stove?
[17:22] clerk
    We don't allow any open
    flames in the club rooms.
[17:25] girls
    What?
[17:28] clerk
    Fire, big no.
[17:33] clerk
    Sorry, I could have phrased that better.
[17:36] clerk
    Make sure you cook in the space
    outside your club room.
[17:39] clerk
    It's all right to use fire out there.
[17:42] clerk
    It's fine today because I was here,
[17:44] clerk
    but next time, ask at the office first.
[17:48] Mako
    Th-Thank you so much!
[17:51] Shinon
    Will you come by later to eat with us?
[17:53] clerk
    No, I still have work to do.
[17:59] clerk
    Oh.
[18:00] clerk
    Your club may be fake, but as long as
    you keep up your activities, we're good.
[18:05] Kurea
    She saw right through us.
[18:11] Mako
    Everything's set.
[18:13] Tsutsuji
    We'll probably just get in the way,
    so we'll take dishwashing duty.
[18:18] Shinon
    Sorry, Makocchi.
[18:19] Mako
    Don't be. That helps a lot.
[18:21] Tsutsuji
    It's not in exchange per se, but I'll
    play the ukulele while you cook.
[18:27] Shinon
    Oh, I like the sound of that! Let's hear it!
[18:45] Mako
    Okay, we're all set!
[19:08] Mako; internal
    Dice the onion.
[19:11] Mako; internal
    Slice the wieners one centimeter thick.
[19:14] Mako; internal
    Add the uncooked rice,
    chopped ingredients, seasonings,
[19:18] Mako; internal
    water, and the secret ingredient,
    apple juice, to the pan.
[19:23] Mako; internal

    When it's done cooking, turn off the heat,

    and add one whole Camembert cheese.

    and that's how you make
    Camembert curry pilaf!

    And now...
[20:21] everyone
    Time to eat!
[20:29] Tsutsuji
    I'm amazed it's possible to make something
    so delicious with just a single frying pan.
[20:34] Shinon
    This curry pilaf is so good!
[20:37] Mako; internal
    I'm so glad they like it!

    Thank you, Mokotaro! The food was a huge hit!

    An after-dinner energy drink
    really hits the spot!

    Oh, hey! Since we managed to
    put together a bona fide club,
[21:03] Kurea
    why don't we take a picture
    to commemorate it?
[21:06] Shinon
    Sounds good! Let's do it!
[21:09] Kurea
    Okay, everyone! Come over here!
[21:12] Kurea
    Kawai-san, what should we say
    when we take the picture?
[21:16] Mako
    What? You're asking me?
[21:20] Mako
    Well, we just ate, so why don't
    we say, "Thanks for the feast"?
[21:25] Shinon
    Oh, I like that! It fits the club well!
[21:28] Kurea
    Okay, everyone, squeeze in!
[21:31] Kurea
    Here we go!
