He's... my dad.

*Saiba-senpai...*
**[00:30] Azami**
*I *will* achieve a total
revolution of this world*
**[00:36] Azami**
* in order to save victims*
* like you, Saiba-senpai.*

**[02:16] Tsukasa**
*Are we really going ahead with this?*
**[02:17] Tsukasa**
* I've said it before... I'm not the*
* type to make public speeches...*
**[02:21] Rindo**
*Start talking, Tsukasa!*
**[02:25] Tsukasa**
*If only Isshiki or Nakiri were here...*
**[02:28] Tsukasa**
* And how much more time do*
* I have before we go live?*
**[02:30] Nene**
The cameras are already rolling.
***SIGN*** Talk!
**[02:32] Tsukasa**
What?!
**[02:33] Tsukasa**
*Um, hello. I'm Tsukasa Eishi from Central.*
***SIGN*** Advancement Exam
***SIGN*** Polar Star Dormitory
**[02:36] Tsukasa**
*I'm here today to tell you all*
**[02:38] Tsukasa**
*about the major event awaiting high-school*
**[02:40] Tsukasa**
* first-years at the end*
* of the second semester—*
**[02:42] Tsukasa**
*the advancement exam.*
**[02:44] Tsukasa**
* Last year, more than half of*
* the first-years left the Academy*
**[02:48] Tsukasa**
*due to the excessively rigorous exam.*
**[02:50] Tsukasa**
*But from now on, that will change.*
**[02:52] Tsukasa**
* Director Azami has liberated*
* you from unnecessary weeding.*
**[02:57] Tsukasa**
*You can easily pass most of the exam*
**[03:01] Tsukasa**
* by demonstrating mastery of the*
* techniques we have taught you in class.*
**[03:04] Tsukasa**
* You are no longer bound by*
* the old, outdated system.*
**[03:09] Tsukasa**
* If you side with Central, you can*
* all become first-rate chefs!*
**[03:14] Tsukasa**
But the exams will also clearly
demonstrate what happens to those of you
**[03:20] Tsukasa**
who do not fall in line with
Director Azami's vision.
**[03:23] Tsukasa**
*Um, well, that's it.*
**[03:26] Tsukasa**
*Whew, I was so nervous.*
***SIGN*** Totsuki
**[03:28] Tsukasa**
* Next time, you or Kinokuni*
* should do it, Rindo.*
**[03:31] Rindo**
No way.
**[03:32] Nene**
I refuse.
**[03:34] S**
The advancement exam, huh.
**[03:35] S**
Having it at the end of second
semester sounds super early,
**[03:38] S**
but I guess we'll just have
to put our backs to it
**[03:40] S**
if we want to be second-years, huh?
**[03:43] S**
What, what?
**[03:44] S**
Why are y'all so glum?
**[03:46] Yuki**
Didn't you notice anything
about what they said?!
**[03:48] Ryoko**
Central basically declared us
rebels as targets in the exam.
**[03:53] Hisako**
That announcement was tantamount
to a death sentence.
**[03:56] Hisako**
It was a notice that anyone who does
not obey Nakiri Azami will be expelled!
**[04:01] M**
Sorry, Mom.
**[04:03] M**
Sorry, harbor folk...
**[04:05] M**
You all sent me out to Tokyo for nothing.
**[04:08] M**
I need to write a letter
to the folks back home.
**[04:10] Yuki**
I have such fond memories of the
fun we had at the camp from hell.
**[04:13] Others**
The camp from hell...
**[04:15] Yuki**
The Stagiaire we endured.
**[04:18] Others**
The Stagiaire...
**[04:19] Ibu**
What are you doing?
**[04:20] Yuki**
The Moon Festival where we all came together.
**[04:21] Ryoko**
You don't have to get that depressed...
**[04:22] Others**
The Moon Festival...
**[04:23] Hisako**
Calm down, everyone.
**[04:24] M**
You should all write letters, too.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
The exams will also clearly demonstrate
what happens to those of you
**[04:40] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
who do not fall in line with
Director Azami's vision.
**[04:46] S**
Who is it?
**[04:47] S**
Door's open.
**[04:54] S**
Nakiri?
**[05:05] S**
What's up? You need something?
**[05:07] E**
U-Um...
**[05:09] E**
About the match with Tsukasa-san!
**[05:11] E**
Any complaints you might have about me not
choosing your dish are unfounded, okay?
**[05:17] E**
It's your fault for taking on
a match you couldn't have won!
**[05:20] S**
Well, yeah. I was outmatched,
so that was a no-brainer.
**[05:24] E**
What? F-Fine, as long as you understand.
**[05:30] S**
Is that all?
**[05:31] E**
N-No!
**[05:32] E**
I'm actually here to talk
about something else.
**[05:34] S**
I don't really get it, but sure, have a seat.
**[05:39] E**
Until a certain day, it may
have been that I...
**[05:44] E**
No, I definitely did not have
any strong feelings about food.
**[05:51] E**
As someone with the God Tongue,
**[05:54] E**
I was forced to face an overwhelming
number of dishes on a daily basis.
**[05:57] E**
I thought I had no choice.
**[06:00] E**
No choice but to be disappointed
by what I tasted every single day.
**[06:05] E**
That's when I met Saiba-sama.
**[06:09] E**
It was a short while after
Alice left for Scandinavia.
**[06:14] E**
That day, my taste-testing appointment
was canceled, a rare occurrence.
**[06:18] E**
There were no other visitors, so I
remember it being very quiet at home.
**[06:25] GirlE**
*What's that?*
**[06:29] GirlE**
*Grandfather...*
**[06:31] GirlE**
*Who are you with?*
**[06:35] GirlE**
*What a wonderful smell...*
***SIGN*** Hungry...
**[06:41] (Flashback) Sen**
Erina?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Jo**
Come now, Senzaemon-dono.
**[06:44] (Flashback) Jo**
This isn't what we agreed to.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Jo**
I only came because you said you'd
make sure no one else would be around.
**[06:50] (Flashback) GirlE**
My taste-testing appointment
was canceled by the client.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Sen**
I see.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Sen**
Erina, this man is an old friend of mine.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Sen**
This is a private meal.
**[07:02] (Flashback) Sen**
I'm sorry, but—
**[07:04] (Flashback) GirlE**
I'm sorry.
**[07:05] (Flashback) GirlE**
I'll go now.
***SIGN*** Hungry...
**[07:10] (Flashback) Jo**
Erina-chan, was it?
**[07:12] (Flashback) Jo**
I see.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Jo**
So you're Azami's...
**[07:15] (Flashback) Jo**
If you'd like, you may stay and try some.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Jo**
It's a bit lonely with just
the two of us at the table.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Jo**
There you go. Go ahead.
**[07:36] GirlE**
* I can feel a warm glow*
* spreading from deep within...*
**[07:40] GirlE**
* This is totally different from*
* anything else I've ever eaten.*
**[07:44] GirlE**
*It's fun.*
**[07:46] GirlE**
*I'm having fun!*
**[07:55] (Flashback) GirlE**
U-Um...
**[07:58] (Flashback) GirlE**
May I know your name?
**[08:02] (Flashback) Jo**
It's Saiba.
**[08:06] E**
That was the first time I ever
thought food was wonderful.
**[08:11] E**
Then...
**[08:12] (Flashback) Azami**
Never allow an imperfect dish to pass.
**[08:15] (Flashback) Azami**
Anything other than what I,
your father, acknowledge is trash.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Azami**
Filth.
**[08:19] (Flashback) Azami**
Garbage.
**[08:21] E**
Six months later was when
Father's "education" began.
**[08:25] E**
I still remember the wonder I felt
when I ate Saiba-sama's cooking.
**[08:30] E**
But... I also understand where
Father's principles are coming from.
**[08:36] E**
There are so many imperfect
dishes in the world...
**[08:40] E**
I grew up seeing the reality of
it for as long as I can remember.
**[08:46] E**
I don't know anymore what food means to me.
**[08:51] E**
I'm very lost, not knowing what to believe in.
**[08:55] S**
Hmm...
**[08:57] E**
Sorry.
**[08:58] E**
I came here on an impulse,
**[09:00] E**
but of course I'm just bothering
you by telling you all this.
**[09:03] E**
Excuse me.
**[09:04] S**
Hey, hang on.
**[09:08] S**
Maybe you just need to taste
it one more time, huh?
**[09:12] S**
I'll make it for you.
**[09:14] S**
I'll make Yukihira food for
you right here, right now!
**[09:19] S**
Please wait a moment, Nakiri Erina-dono!
**[09:22] Hisako**
Erina-sama.
**[09:24] Hisako**
Erina-sama, where are you?
**[09:26] Hisako**
Erina-sama!
**[09:27] Hisako**
Erina-sama!
**[09:28] Hisako**
Erina-sama!
**[09:28] Yuki**
What's up, Miss Secretary?
**[09:30] Hisako**
Don't call me that!
**[09:31] Hisako**
I can't find Erina-sama anywhere!
**[09:33] Ryoko**
Maybe she's using the
restroom or taking a bath?
**[09:34] Hisako**
I looked, but she wasn't there!
**[09:36] Hisako**
Azami-dono may have abducted her!
**[09:37] Hisako**
That must be it!
**[09:38] Hisako**
Azami-dono took her because I
let my guard down for a moment!
**[09:41] Hisako**
How could this have happened
with me by her side?!
**[09:43] Hisako**
I could've prevented this with a body double
or 3D printer or body-swap ninja technique—
**[09:44] M**
I think she's in Soma-kun's room...
**[09:47] Hisako**
What?!
**[09:48] E**
You're going to have me taste
Yukihira food here right now?
**[09:51] E**
And what would that accomplish, exactly?
**[09:54] E**
The dish Saiba-sama prepared
was wonderful beyond comparison
**[09:56] E**
to the likes of your crude creations!
**[09:59] S**
Oh, you're not all meek anymore!
You're back to your normal self.
**[10:02] S**
Dad trained me hardcore at home, you know.
**[10:06] S**
Maybe you'll remember something if
you taste some Yukihira food, yeah?
**[10:12] E**
Hmph.
**[10:13] E**
And what are you planning to make?
**[10:16] S**
A tempura bowl.
**[10:17] E**
A tempura bowl?
**[10:18] S**
Well, just wait and see.
**[10:20] S**
I'll let you taste something
I'm really proud of.
**[10:25] Y**
He totally just made that face he makes when
he's about to create something grotesque!
**[10:29] Ryoko**
What kind of tempura are you
planning on making, Yukihira-kun?
**[10:32] Marui**
He's going to serve that to the God Tongue.
**[10:34] Marui**
If her sensitive palate were to
meet one of Yukihira's grotesque dishes...
**[10:38] Aoki**
In the worst case scenario, death.
**[10:40] M**
It'll be fine!
**[10:42] M**
Soma-kun's preparing a dish because he has
something he wants Nakiri-san to understand.
**[10:47] YR**
Megumi...
**[10:49] Ryoko**
*Hearing you say it...*
**[10:51] Yuki**
* ...as someone who's fallen victim*
* to his grotesque dishes the most...*
**[10:53] Ryoko**
*You've got zero credibility.*
**[10:56] Hisako**
*Yukihira...*
**[10:57] M**
*Soma-kun...*
**[11:00] S**
Bonito's good.
**[11:01] S**
Batter's good.
**[11:03] S**
I already had some rice soaking,
so that was lucky!
**[11:06] S**
Hang on tight.
**[11:07] S**
I'll serve up an unbelievably
tasty tempura bowl!
**[11:11] E**
* Yukihira Soma, you look just*
* like you did that day...*
**[11:16] E**
* when you were facing the Elite Ten's*
* first seat, Tsukasa Eishi.*
**[11:20] E**
*Despite challenging an insurmountable wall,*
**[11:24] E**
* you still looked like you were having*
* an incredible amount of fun cooking.*
**[11:28] E**
* I'm sure I looked like that*
* when I was little, too.*
**[11:33] (Flashback) Adults**
Erina-sama, you have a responsibility
to the Nakiri family.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Adults**
Please prioritize the
family name over your own self.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Adults**
That's the God Tongue.
**[11:44] (Flashback) Adults**
I should curry favor with her now.
**[11:48] (Flashback) GirlAlice**
Hey, Erina!
**[11:49] (Flashback) GirlAlice**
I'm going to become the top chef
at Totsuki Academy some day!
**[11:53] (Flashback) GirlAlice**
I think it'll be really fun
to perfect the dishes I love!
**[11:57] (Flashback) GirlAlice**
I'm not going to hold back
just because we're cousins!
**[12:00] (Flashback) GirlAlice**
Let's give it our best, okay?
**[12:02] (Flashback) GirlE**
R-Right. Okay.
**[12:06] GirlE**
*Sorry, Alice.*
**[12:08] GirlE**
*I don't think cooking's fun at all...*
**[12:15] S**
You're looking depressed again.
**[12:18] S**
You're usually all high and mighty,
**[12:20] S**
but you sometimes get like this.
**[12:22] E**
Wh-What's your point?
**[12:24] S**
Perk up, will you?
**[12:26] S**
After all, I'm super stoked that
I can finally get back at you
**[12:30] S**
for what happened the day we first met.
**[12:37] (Flashback) E**
It's disgusting!
**[12:41] (Flashback) S**
Just you wait!
**[12:42] (Flashback) S**
I'll make you say "delicious!"
**[12:49] S**
Today's the day I'll make
you say "delicious!"
**[12:53] S**
Here you go!
**[13:00] E**
You have confidence, if nothing else.
**[13:02] E**
What dish could you have
possibly prepared for me?
**[13:07] S**
I can answer that.
**[13:08] S**
It's a Yukihira-Style Chicken's Egg Tempura Bowl!
**[13:13] E**
Chicken's egg tempura?
**[13:14] E**
*What does he mean by that?*
**[13:17] E**
What?
**[13:19] E**
The egg white is barely set,
**[13:21] E**
and the yolk is perfectly soft-boiled!
**[13:23] E**
It's silky smooth!
**[13:25] M**
What?
**[13:26] M**
So he made raw egg tempura?
**[13:28] Yuki**
How did he even fry it?
**[13:30] Ryoko**
You can't just chuck a raw egg into
hot oil to get a tempura egg, right?
**[13:34] Ibu**
The batter wouldn't stick
to it in the first place.
**[13:36] Marui**
No way! Did he fry it inside its shell?
**[13:38] Sato**
Is she supposed to eat it shell and all?
**[13:40] E**
* Did he batter and fry a*
* soft-boiled egg, perhaps?*
**[13:44] E**
*No, the heat would've fully cooked the yolk.*
**[13:48] E**
*How did he make this dish?*
**[13:51] S**
Mysterious, huh?
**[13:52] S**
Aren't you curious?
**[13:54] E**
You're as irritating as usual!
**[13:56] S**
The secret's inside here.
**[14:00] E**
You took the egg from the freezer?!
**[14:02] S**
That's right!
**[14:03] S**
This tempura was made by coating
a frozen raw egg with batter!
**[14:07] S**
That's the star of this tempura bowl.
**[14:10] S**
Peel a frozen egg, dip it in batter,
**[14:11] S**
then fry it up nice and crisp.
**[14:15] S**
Drizzle a good amount of sauce
on freshly-made piping-hot rice,
**[14:18] S**
pair the egg tempura with fried perilla,
**[14:21] S**
pour more sauce on top,
**[14:22] S**
and it's done.
**[14:23] S**
Well, just dig in!
**[14:25] E**
I see.
**[14:27] E**
But novelty foods don't impress me.
**[14:30] E**
A dish with egg as its main
ingredient will be simple.
**[14:35] E**
That means the chef's skills
and the ingredients' quality
**[14:37] E**
are directly reflected by the dish!
**[14:39] E**
Let's hope you won't regret serving
this dish to the God Tongue.
**[14:43] Aoki**
Hey! Erinacchi's gonna taste it!
**[14:46] Marui**
Yeah... I wonder if it's up to snuff?
**[14:50] M**
Ryoko-chan?
**[14:52] Ryoko**
I actually saw Yukihira-kun
making a bulk purchase earlier.
**[14:56] Ryoko**
Of bargain eggs...
***SIGN*** Bargain Eggs
**[14:58] Ryoko**
Sold for 106 yen a dozen...
**[15:00] Yuki**
What, bargain eggs?
**[15:02] Hisako**
That's not good.
**[15:03] Hisako**
Since infancy, Erina-sama has been surrounded
by only select, high-quality ingredients.
**[15:08] Hisako**
Who knows how her body might react
if she were to taste something *cheap*?
**[15:13] All**
What?
**[15:20] Yuki**
Erinacchi!
**[15:21] Yuki**
Don't!
**[15:30] E**
I could tell right away
**[15:32] E**
that the egg you prepared is different
from those of high-class silky fowl
**[15:35] E**
and other brand name eggs.
**[15:38] E**
This egg is of the same quality as those
served at the common kitchen table.
**[15:41] E**
It should be a far cry from refined cuisine.
**[15:44] E**
And yet...
**[15:54] E**
*How...*
**[15:56] E**
*How is it even possible to achieve...*
**[15:58] E**
*such delicate and complex... flavors?!*
**[16:08] S**
About how freezing changes the egg...
**[16:11] S**
There's another advantage to it.
**[16:13] S**
It intensifies the flavor of the yolk.
**[16:18] E**
The flavor... intensifies?
**[16:20] S**
Freezing chicken eggs causes the proteins
to coalesce into a gel-like state.
**[16:26] S**
That results in a creamy,
gelatinous mouthfeel,
**[16:29] S**
and a much richer yolk flavor.
**[16:33] S**
Basically, freezing the egg
**[16:35] S**
is the single most important
contributor to this dish's taste!
**[16:38] S**
There's also a generous amount
**[16:40] S**
of a sweet-and-spicy umami sauce,
a Yukihira special blend.
**[16:43] S**
It's a strongly-flavored sauce with a
bonito stock base, soy sauce, and mirin.
**[16:47] S**
There's no question that it pairs
well with the egg and rice!
**[16:50] S**
But if you used an egg
that's too rich in flavor,
**[16:54] S**
the overall dish would become overwhelming.
**[16:57] E**
Is that why you...?
**[16:58] S**
That's right!
**[16:59] S**
The frozen egg's mouthfeel and richness,
plus the special sauce's strong flavors—
**[17:04] S**
It's best to use a lighter-tasting
egg to maximize the two components!
***SIGN*** Bargain Eggs
**[17:08] Yuki**
Oh, right!
**[17:09] Ryoko**
So he chose bargain eggs for a reason!
**[17:13] M**
Good job, Soma-kun!
**[17:14] S**
Come to think of it,
**[17:16] S**
eggs were the topic you assigned back then.
**[17:21] S**
Don't you think this is the perfect dish
to settle our score once and for all?
**[17:28] E**
How...
**[17:29] S**
Hm?
**[17:31] E**
How did you even come up with this idea?
**[17:33] E**
It's common knowledge that
freshness is key to egg quality.
**[17:36] E**
Besides, isn't it the norm
to focus on obtaining the
**[17:39] E**
rarest and highest-quality eggs?
**[17:41] E**
And yet, how did you...
**[17:43] E**
How did you come up with this—
**[17:44] S**
Because this is more fun.
**[17:47] S**
This is just my opinion,
**[17:49] S**
but I don't think people who
only know one "correct" answer
**[17:52] S**
can get themselves to reach
even greater heights.
**[17:55] S**
Besides, above all...
**[17:59] (Flashback) GirlE**
Um, how did you come up with those
combinations of ingredients?
**[18:03] (Flashback) GirlE**
Each dish was so innovative.
**[18:05] (Flashback) GirlE**
Unconventional, yet meticulous...
**[18:08] (Flashback) GirlE**
Do you know from the start that
the dish will turn out well?
**[18:11] (Flashback) Jo**
Nope.
**[18:12] (Flashback) GirlE**
What?
**[18:13] (Flashback) Jo**
Whenever I test a new dish,
**[18:16] (Flashback) Jo**
I'm 50 percent certain and
50 percent taking a gamble.
**[18:18] (Flashback) Jo**
Even today, several dishes were
using your gramps as a test subject.
**[18:22] (Flashback) GirlE**
Why do you go so far?
**[18:24] (Flashback) Jo**
That's obvious.
**[18:26] (Flashback) Jo/S**
If you know exactly where
you're headed, it's no fun at all.
**[18:26] Jo/S**
If you know exactly where
you're headed, it's no fun at all.
**[18:30] E**
*Ah, that's right.*
**[18:33] E**
*I remember now.*
**[18:36] E**
*I...*
**[18:46] E**
*...wanted to do *that* kind of cooking.*
**[18:50] E**
*I remember now.*
**[18:58] (Flashback) Azami**
Listen, Erina.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Azami**
Only dishes I acknowledge and Central
creates can be considered food.
**[19:04] E**
*No.*
**[19:05] (Flashback) Azami**
Eradicating all else as
"feed" from the Academy
**[19:08] (Flashback) Azami**
and nurturing the entire
student body into a loyal army
**[19:12] (Flashback) Azami**
will strengthen Totsuki as a whole.
**[19:13] E**
*No.*
**[19:14] (Flashback) Azami**
What *I* advance as true gourmet food
**[19:17] (Flashback) Azami**
will become absolute justice.
**[19:18] E**
No!
**[19:20] E**
* Father, I believe the*
* chefs and their dishes...*
**[19:23] E**
*want to be free.*
**[19:33] S**
So, how was it?
**[19:35] S**
How was the Yukihira special?
**[19:37] S**
So, let's hear it for the taste, Nakiri.
**[19:42] S**
It was delicious, yeah?
**[19:43] S**
Delicious?
**[19:44] S**
Right?
**[19:50] E**
I've decided!
**[19:51] S**
Huh?
**[19:53] E**
Yukihira-kun!
**[19:54] E**
Do exactly what I'm about to tell you!
**[19:57] S**
Huh?
**[19:57] E**
Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock!
**[19:59] E**
Have all the Polar Star Dormitory
first-years assemble before the entrance!
**[20:02] S**
S-Sure.
**[20:03] S**
Fine by me, but how was the taste?
**[20:06] E**
Okay, I'm counting on you!
**[20:08] E**
I have to make preparations!
**[20:10] S**
H-H-H-Hey!
**[20:11] S**
What about the taste?!
**[20:12] E**
And one more thing!
**[20:13] E**
Tell Tadokoro-san that she can dispose
of the letter she was writing home.
**[20:22] S**
Huh?
**[20:24] M**
I wonder what happened.
***SIGN*** The Next Morning
**[20:30] Aoki**
Brr...
**[20:32] Ibu**
It's technically winter now.
**[20:35] Maruki**
I guess we won't have much longer to
breathe in the morning air at the dorm.
**[20:38] Sato**
Our lives are over once the
advancement exam happens.
**[20:41] M**
I wonder what Nakiri-san wants,
gathering all of us here.
**[20:44] S**
Oh, she didn't tell me anything.
**[20:47] Hisako**
Erina-sama...
**[20:49] Yuki**
Oh, Erinacchi!
**[20:52] E**
Ahem...
**[20:54] E**
Good day, Polar Star Dormitory residents.
**[20:57] Aoki**
What the hell?
**[20:57] E**
Hmph.
**[20:59] E**
You all look dejected again, like before.
**[21:02] Yuki**
Huh?
**[21:03] E**
It's obvious now what the
**[21:04] E**
outcome of the advancement exam would be,
before it even happens.
**[21:08] E**
Maybe it'd be better for all of you
to just leave the academy now?
**[21:10] Aoki**
Wh-What's wrong with you?!
**[21:12] Aoki**
You had us all show up just to tell us that?!
**[21:14] Yuki**
We all want to keep on cooking
at this academy, too!
**[21:19] Yuki**
Why...?
**[21:20] Yuki**
You didn't have to say it like that!
**[21:23] E**
It's been some time since I came
into this dormitory's care.
**[21:28] E**
During that time, I have sampled
your creations numerous times.
**[21:32] E**
At times, they tasted unusual.
At other times, they tasted absurd.
**[21:36] E**
I've lost count of how many times
I scolded you all for it!
**[21:40] E**
But your dishes were always free!
**[21:46] E**
If you stay down like you are now,
**[21:49] E**
you will be terminated without even
getting to build on your strengths!
**[21:52] E**
How pathetic!
**[21:53] E**
Is that really how you want things to end?!
**[21:55] Yuki**
B-But how can we pass the exam, anyway?
**[21:59] E**
There's no question about how!
**[22:02] E**
You'll have to get through it
with the power of your cooking!
**[22:04] Marui**
Wow.
**[22:06] Sato**
She's starting to sound like Yukihira.
**[22:08] Hisako**
Erina-sama!
**[22:10] (Flashback) E**
I've started to think about
what I really want to do, too.
**[22:19] E**
If you have the determination
to survive this,
**[22:23] E**
I will support you using everything I
have in my power as the God Tongue!
**[22:27] E**
If you don't have the willpower
to survive, then just leave now!
**[22:30] E**
Those who stay will face the exam with me!
**[22:34] E**
Come!
**[22:36] E**
If you are true chefs with any pride at all,
**[22:39] E**
follow me!
