**[00:03] professor**
Now, as I mentioned, there'll
be a German test next week.
**[00:07] professor; background**
If you have any questions,
**[00:07] Mako; internal**
*My first university exam.*
**[00:09] professor; background**
please don't hesitate to come ask me,
even outside of class.
**[00:10] Mako; internal**
* If I don't earn enough credits,*
* I'll have to repeat a year.*
**[00:13] Mako; internal**
*I have to do my very best!*
**[00:26] Mako**
Oh, I'm so sorr—
**[00:38] Mako**
I'm sorry...
**[00:45] Mako; internal**
*Sh-She was terrifying!*

**[02:21] Mako; internal**
* She even convinced them to give us*
* a refrigerator. Oshinko's amazing.*
**[02:30] Mako; internal**
*Oh, right. Oshinko said*
**[02:32] Mako; internal**
* she was going to start working*
* part-time at Furutachi-san's restaurant.*
**[02:36] Mako; internal**
*I was hoping we could all eat together again,*
**[02:38] Mako; internal**
* but I guess I should ask the*
* others for their schedules.*
**[02:51] Mako; internal**
* Th-That was... the scary girl*
* from German class, right?*
**[02:57] Mako; internal**
*I wonder what that was about.*
**[03:00] Mako; internal**
*Did she get the wrong room?*
**[03:07] Mako; internal**
*There's no one here.*
**[03:10] Mako; internal**
*Don't tell me she's some kind of ghost...*
**[03:26] Nana**
U-Um...
**[03:28] Nana**
Is this...
**[03:30] Mako**
Y-Yes?
**[03:31] Nana**
Is this...
**[03:33] Nana**
the Food Culture Research Club?
**[03:36] Mako**
Y-Yes, it is...
**[03:46] Mako**
O-Over to you.
**[03:49] Nana**
U-Uh... Over to you.
**[03:51] Mako**
Um, well, if you have business here,
would you like to come inside?
**[04:04] Mako**
U-Um, you don't need to sit in the corner.
**[04:09] Nana**
This is fine.
**[04:12] Mako**
Oh. O-Okay.
**[04:19] Mako; internal**
* I asked her in, but it's hard to get*
* a conversation going like this.*
**[04:24] Mako; internal**
* What do I do? Maybe I should call*
* Oshinko or Furutachi-san to come help.*
**[04:31] Mako; internal**
* What is she doing?*
* She's taking something out.*
**[04:36] Mako; internal**
*Handcuffs?!*
**[04:37] Mako; internal**
* Is she trying to stop me*
* from calling the others?*
**[04:40] Mako; internal**
*B-But why would she do that?*
**[04:44] Mako; internal**
*Wait, is she...*
**[04:44] Mako; internal**
*plotting to take over our club?!*
**[04:47] Mako; internal**
*S-Surely not, right?*
**[04:49] Mako; internal**
*But she* is *pretty scary... so maybe?*
**[04:52] Mako; internal**
*I-I know! I'll escape while she's distracted!*
**[04:57] Mako; internal**
*All right.*
**[04:59] Mako**
Hey, look! Flying takoyaki!
**[05:08] Mako; internal**
*She's not looking away at all!*
**[05:11] Mako; internal**
*I guess all I can do... is make a run for it!*
**[05:27] Mako**
Tsutsuji-chan, I'm so sorry!
**[05:30] Tsutsuji**
So, uh... This is Nana.
**[05:32] Tsutsuji**
We were in the same grade in high school.
**[05:35] Mako**
I-I'm Mako Kawai. Pleased to meet you.
**[05:45] Mako**
Um... So...
**[05:48] Tsutsuji**
When Nana's with people she knows,
she's quite personable,
**[05:51] Tsutsuji**
but she has a deep-rooted fear of strangers.
**[05:54] Mako**
Huh, really? You wouldn't
think so by looking at her.
**[05:57] Tsutsuji**
Take a look at this.
**[05:59] Mako**
A photo?
**[06:00] Mako**
That's the three of you and...
**[06:04] Mako**
who?
**[06:05] Tsutsuji**
That's Nana.
**[06:07] Mako**
What? She looks completely different now.
**[06:10] Tsutsuji**
That look only lasted until shortly
after she started school here.
**[06:14] Mako**
Wait, so she knows Shinon-chan
and Furutachi-san, too?
**[06:18] Tsutsuji**
That's right. When we were first trying
to establish the club, we invited Nana,
**[06:22] Tsutsuji**
but she turned us down, saying she wanted
to start a puzzle club or something.
**[06:26] Mako**
A puzzle club?
**[06:29] Mako**
Now that I look more closely,
that's a metal brainteaser.
**[06:32] Tsutsuji**
Turns out she wants to
join our club after all.
**[06:36] Tsutsuji**
So I hope you'll look out for her.
**[06:38] Mako**
Oh, sure.
**[06:43] Mako**
U-Um...
**[06:47] Mako**
So, um...
**[06:51] Mako**
Oh, I know!
**[06:52] Mako**
Since we have a brand-new member,
I'll go buy us some drinks and stuff!
**[06:57] Tsutsuji**
Thanks. I'll leave it to you.
**[07:07] Nana**
I could barely string two words together!
**[07:10] Nana**
Wh-Wh-What do I do, Hitsuji-chan?
**[07:13] Nana**
Kawai-san totally thinks of me
as the weird corner-peeking girl!
**[07:18] Tsutsuji**
It's all right. Calm down.
**[07:20] Tsutsuji**
Actually, what happened to your puzzle club?
**[07:24] Nana**
Well, it...
**[07:26] (Flashback) Shinon**
What?! You're not joining the
Food Culture Research Club?!
**[07:31] (Flashback) Nana**
Nope! I'm gonna make my
own puzzle club instead!
**[07:34] (Flashback) Kurea**
Now that you mention it, you're always
playing with those metal puzzles.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Shinon**
Man... And just when I thought
the four of us would be together.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Nana**
Sorry.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Tsutsuji**
But will you be all right without us?
**[07:44] (Flashback) Tsutsuji**
With your fear of strangers, it'll be
hard for you to recruit members.
**[07:48] (Flashback) Nana**
Don't worry, Hitsuji-chan! I'll have
that club made before you know it!
***SIGN*** Puzzle Club!
Recruiting Members!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Nana**
No takers, huh?
**[08:01] Nana**
*But why? Doesn't everyone love puzzles?*
**[08:07] Nana**
* If I made myself more eye-catching,*
* could I attract more people that way?*
**[08:12] Nana; internal**
*Well, I'm a university student now.*
**[08:15] Nana; internal**
* It's the perfect time to*
* be a little adventurous.*
**[08:17] Nana; internal**
* Maybe a makeover will give me the confidence*
* I need to leave my fear of strangers behind!*
**[08:21] Nana; internal**
*All right!*
**[08:25] (Flashback) girl 1**
Did we have a girl like that here?
**[08:27] (Flashback) girl 2**
Who is she?
**[08:35] Nana; internal**
*This is perfect!*
**[08:37] Nana; internal**
*With all this, I'm sure I'll stand out!*
**[08:39] Nana; internal**
*I feel like the new me can do anything!*
***SIGN*** Puzzle Club!

**[08:44] (Flashback) girl A**
Excuse me.
**[08:46] (Flashback) girl A**
What do you do in the Puzzle Club?
**[08:49] (Flashback) girl B**
Do you solve Rubik's Cubes and stuff?
**[08:54] (Flashback) Nana**
C-C-Copy...
**[08:56] (Flashback) girls**
Copy?
**[08:57] (Flashback) Nana**
B-B-Ba...
**[09:01] (Flashback) girl B**
Capybara?
***SIGN*** Puzzle Club!
Recruiting Members!
**[09:06] (Flashback) girl A; B**
She ran away?
**[09:08] Nana**
As you can imagine, the Puzzle Club
was over before it even began.
**[09:13] Tsutsuji**
I see.
**[09:14] Nana**
It's no good! I can change how I look,
but not how I am inside.
**[09:19] Nana**
I'll never put the Puzzle Club together,
**[09:21] Nana**
and now Kawai-san hates me, too.
Why did I come to university at all?
**[09:25] Tsutsuji**
To pursue knowledge?
**[09:27] Nana**
Please, Hitsuji-chan! I need you to liven
things up so we can talk less awkwardly!
**[09:31] Nana**
I've finally joined a club!
I don't want things to stay this way!
**[09:35] Tsutsuji**
Hmm. Well, both of you
*are* dear friends of mine.
**[09:40] Tsutsuji**
Very well! I'll help you out of your shell!
**[09:43] Nana**
Hitsuji-chan! Thank you!
**[09:48] Mako**
I'm back.
**[09:50] Tsutsuji**
Welcome back.
**[10:06] Tsutsuji**
Uh, well... It sure is a
nice day today, isn't it?
**[10:11] Tsutsuji**
Do either of you play sports or anything?
**[10:14] Mako**
I don't really play anything much.
**[10:20] Tsutsuji**
Um, would it be all right for me
to have this grape juice?
**[10:24] Mako**
Huh? Sure, go right ahead.
**[10:30] Tsutsuji**
Oh, I just remembered.
**[10:33] Tsutsuji**
I mentioned sports just now because
I found out my cousin is taking karate.
**[10:39] Tsutsuji**
Heard it through the *grape*vine.
**[10:46] Tsutsuji**
Um... In that case, I will dance.
**[10:50] Tsutsuji**
Through this dance, I shall show
both of you how to liven things up!
**[11:17] Shinon**
That class sure ran long, huh?
**[11:19] Kurea**
Right?
**[11:20] Shinon**
Nana and Makocchi both
get anxious around strangers.
**[11:23] Shinon**
I hope putting them together
hasn't made things weird.
**[11:26] Kurea**
Yeah... But I'm sure Tsutsuji
has it all handled, right?
**[11:43] Shinon**
I have no idea what's going on,
but this room is a disaster zone!
**[11:49] Shinon**
Sorry! Nana only decided to join yesterday,
so I didn't get a chance to tell you about her.
**[11:54] Mako**
Oh, okay.
**[11:56] Shinon**
Did you already get acquainted?
**[11:58] Mako**
Y-Yes. Just a little.
**[12:00] Shinon**
Well, our club has five members now!
**[12:03] Shinon**
Let's put our all into lazing
around like never before!
**[12:06] Kurea**
How do you give lazing around your all?
**[12:15] Mako; internal**
*I'm getting the feeling she hates me.*
**[12:23] Mako**
German is hard.
**[12:25] Mako**
My head is all mixed up...
**[12:30] Mako**
Not to mention... I bet Hoshi-san hates me now.
**[12:34] Mako**
She totally thinks of me
as the flying takoyaki girl.
**[12:41] Tsutsuji**
* Tomorrow's Saturday, but do you want*
* to study with Nana in the club room?*
**[12:53] Mako**
Morning.
**[12:54] Tsutsuji**
Good morning.
**[12:56] Tsutsuji**
Why do you have that bag?
**[12:59] Mako**
I thought I might be able to do a little
cooking in between study sessions,
**[13:02] Mako**
so I brought ingredients.
**[13:03] Tsutsuji**
I like the sound of that.
We'll pitch in for the cost.
**[13:08] Mako**
Um... Come to think of it, where
are Shinon-chan and Furutachi-san?
**[13:12] Tsutsuji**
They both have work.
**[13:15] Mako**
Oh, Shinon-chan starts today?
**[13:18] Shinon**
I'm Shinon Ogawa! I'm looking
forward to working with you!
**[13:22] Kurea's mom**
So much energy! I'll be counting on you!
**[13:25] Shinon**
Yes, ma'am! I'll work harder
than a car spinning its wheels!
**[13:27] Kurea**
Uh, please don't just spin your wheels.
**[13:29] Kurea's mom**
Then can you julienne the cabbage for me?
**[13:34] Kurea**
Wha... Wait! Actually,
can you wait tables instead?
**[13:37] Shinon**
Why? I can keep going.
You haven't seen what I can do yet.
**[13:40] Kurea**
And I don't *want* to see it!
**[13:43] Shinon**
Well, if you insist, Kurea.
**[13:46] Kurea**
Please? I'm begging you!
**[13:50] daughter**
Hey, Mommy! Which one's the yummiest?
**[13:53] mother**
Hmm... I haven't been here
before, so I'm not sure.
**[13:57] mother**
Excuse me!
**[13:58] Shinon**
Y-Yes?
**[14:01] mother**
Do you have any recommendations?
**[14:03] Shinon**
I'm sorry. I just started today,
so I don't really know.
**[14:07] daughter**
What, really?
**[14:09] Shinon**
Yes, but you know...
**[14:12] Shinon**
Meat and oil will never betray you.
**[14:15] Shinon**
Looking at it that way,
my personal recommendation...
***SIGN*** A. Meat and Vegetable Sauté Set
***SIGN*** C. Sauced Katsudon
***SIGN*** D. Loin Roast Katsudon
**[14:19] Shinon**
is this sauced katsudon!
**[14:22] Shinon**
The batter is super crispy and yummy!
**[14:26] daughter**
Okay! I'll have the sauced katsudon!
**[14:30] mother**
Okay, two of those, please.
**[14:31] Shinon**
Two sauced katsudon,
coming right up! Thank you!
**[14:35] Kurea; internal**
* For today, I'll just let her*
* handle the customers.*
**[14:46] Mako; internal**
*This is a difficult question.*
**[14:48] Mako; internal**
* Tsutsuji-chan isn't taking German,*
* so I can't ask her.*
**[14:52] Mako**
U-Um, Hoshi-san?
**[14:55] Mako**
Do you know how to answer this question?
**[14:58] Nana**
Yes.
**[14:59] Mako**
What? Really?
**[15:01] Nana**
Can I write it down?
**[15:02] Mako**
Y-Yes.
**[15:08] Nana**
Here.
**[15:09] Mako**
Thank you.
**[15:14] Mako**
Hoshi-san, this is amazing!
**[15:16] Mako**
You understood the question
perfectly! You're so smart!
**[15:19] Mako**
And this drawing is cute, too.
***SIGN*** Key point! With separable verbs,
the construction becomes
prefix+zu+verb stem!
**[15:22] Mako**
What is it? You're trembling like mad!
**[15:25] Tsutsuji**
No need to worry.
**[15:27] Tsutsuji**
She's just trying to hold back her
delight at your words of praise.
**[15:30] Nana**
Hitsuji-chan!
***SIGN*** Takao Diner
**[15:33] Shinon**
Thank you for all your hard work!
**[15:35] Kurea's mom**
Having you here was such a huge help!
**[15:39] Shinon**
Oh, I really didn't do much.
**[15:41] Kurea**
Hey, Shinon. You're headed
to the club room, right?
**[15:44] Shinon**
Yeah.
**[15:45] Kurea**
Mom left us a little pick-me-up.
**[15:47] Kurea**
Could you take it to
Kawai-san and the others?
**[15:50] Mako**
Hoshi-san, for this part...
**[15:54] Nana**
Y-You do this here.
**[15:55] Mako**
Oh, so that's how it works.
**[16:00] Tsutsuji**
I'm getting pretty hungry.
**[16:03] Mako**
Then should I make us some food?
I got permission already.
**[16:06] Tsutsuji**
Oh, thank you.
**[16:09] Mako**
It'll just be simple sandwiches, though.
**[16:14] Tsutsuji**
It's from Shinon. Let's see...
***SIGN*** Food Culture Research Club
***SIGN*** Understood.
Let's do that
***SIGN*** We got meat from Kurea and her mom!
Makocchi, can you cook with this?
**[16:18] Shinon**
*We got meat from Kurea and her mom!*
**[16:22] Shinon**
*Makocchi, can you cook with this?*
**[16:26] Mako**
Wow!
**[16:28] Mako**
This meat is incredible!
**[16:30] Tsutsuji**
I haven't seen anything so
impressive in a long time.
**[16:34] Shinon**
How's your studying going? Done enough?
**[16:37] Mako**
I think I've reached a good stopping point.
**[16:40] Shinon**
Then let's cook this pork
for Nana's welcome party!
**[16:44] Mako**
What about Furutachi-san?
**[16:45] Shinon**
Kurea says she'll come after
they finish prepping for tonight.
**[16:49] Mako**
I see.
**[16:51] Mako**
Okay.
**[16:52] Mako**
Hoshi-san, what kinds of
meat dishes do you like?
**[16:55] Nana**
Huh? M-Me?
**[16:58] Nana**
Um, maybe grilled skewers like yakiton?
**[17:02] Shinon**
Oh, yakiton sounds good!
**[17:04] Tsutsuji**
Makocchi, can you make that?
**[17:08] Mako**
In that case, how about souvlaki?
**[17:11] Mako**
Mokotaro uploaded a cooking video for that,
so I'm sure I'll be able to make it!
**[17:11] Mokotaro; background**
*Moko!*
**[17:17] Shinon**
Okay! This time, I'm cooking, too!
**[17:20] Shinon**
Workplace regrets, I'm comin' for ya!
**[17:22] Mako**
Huh? What happened at work?
**[17:29] Tsutsuji**
Nana!
**[17:31] Tsutsuji**
Come sit down, if you'd like.
**[17:33] Nana**
Huh? Oh, okay.
**[17:43] Mako**
There!
**[17:51] Mako; internal**
*Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces,*
**[17:54] Mako; internal**
* then transfer it into a bowl*
* and add salt, pepper,*
**[17:57] Mako; internal**
* grated garlic, oregano,*
* lemon juice, and olive oil.*
**[18:03] Mako; internal**
*Then mix it all together.*
**[18:15] Mako; internal**
* Cut the bell peppers into*
* bite-sized pieces, too,*
**[18:18] Mako; internal**
* and then alternate those pieces*
* with the pork on the skewers.*
**[18:21] Mako; internal**
* Drizzle olive oil into a pan, and fry the*
* skewers until they're nice and browned.*
**[18:41] Mako**
There! The souvlaki and
sandwiches are ready!
**[18:46] Tsutsuji**
They look wonderful.
**[18:49] Kurea**
Oh, did I happen to come at the perfect time?
**[18:52] Mako**
Ah, Furutachi-san!
**[18:55] Mako**
Thank you for the meat!
**[18:57] Kurea**
No problem. Oh, that smells good!
**[19:00] Shinon**
I helped make these!
**[19:02] Kurea**
For real? Nice work!
**[19:06] Shinon**
And now, in celebration of
Nana joining the club...
**[19:09] Shinon; Mako; Kurea; Tsutsuji**
Time to eat!
**[19:11] Nana**
T-Time to eat.
**[19:22] Nana**
It's delicious!
**[19:47] Kurea**
This is delicious, Kawai-san!
**[19:49] Mako**
Thank you!

Thanks for the feast!

**[20:19] Mako**
I'm going to study a little more after this.
Would you like to join me?
**[20:24] Nana**
Um, there's something
I want to apologize for.
**[20:28] Mako**
Huh?
**[20:29] Nana**
Remember when I bumped into you
after German class that one time?
**[20:33] Nana**
I tried to apologize...
**[20:35] Nana**
but I thought you might be angry with me
because it didn't come across properly.
**[20:40] Mako**
What? I'm not angry! Not angry at all!
**[20:43] Mako**
I did think you were a little scary, though.
**[20:46] Nana**
R-Really? That's a relief.
**[20:49] Nana**
And also... Your cooking was really good.
**[20:52] Nana**
I-I'm going to study some more, too,
**[20:55] Nana**
so if there's anything you don't get, just ask.
**[20:57] Mako**
I will. Thank you!

Makocchan! How'd you do on the test?
**[21:24] Mako**
W-Well, I think. Thanks to all your help.
**[21:27] Nana**
Right? You wouldn't think it,
but I'm a pretty good teacher.
**[21:31] Nana**
Oh, is it okay if I call you Makocchan?
I guess I already am, though!

Oh, the girl from the Food

**[21:59] clerk**
You applied for permission

Good to see you taking club seriously.

Th-Thanks.

Hey, you. The girl stuck

**[22:11] clerk**
Do you feel sick or something?
**[22:13] Nana**
N-No, just a little...
**[22:17] clerk**
Could it be that you're hiding something?

Huh?! N-No! No, I-I'm not... not...
