[00:02] ---
    Ah, that dog was so cute!
[00:06] ---
    The way you patted it all over its body.
    You almost looked geeky.
[00:09] ---
    Hey, Izumi. Don't make
    it sound so suspicious.
[00:13] ---
    I wish we could keep a dog at the shop, too.
[00:16] ---
    Well, that might be difficult.
[00:25] ---
    Man, what a boring city.
[00:29] ---
    A place like this should
    just disappear already.
[00:38] ---
    Good morning!
[00:40] ---
    Oh, where's everyone?
[00:57] ---
    NOOO!
[01:00] ---
    The future that is filled with hopes
[01:03] ---
    The dream I imagined over and over
[01:07] ---
    Will change tomorrow
[01:09] ---
    Keep on moving forward,
[01:11] ---
    Believe in Sky
[01:24] ---
    The unknown road, taking the first step
[01:31] ---
    That courage brings new encounters
[01:36] ---
    When the door connecting the
    worlds opens, let's move forward
[01:40] ---
    Tenderly holding the precious memories
[01:44] ---
    Of the day we promised each other
[01:47] ---
    When you get lost, stretch big
[01:52] ---
    And feel the new wind
[01:55] ---
    Okay, Start Now!
[01:58] ---
    Because I have something
    to believe in and protect
[02:05] ---
    I can be strong, stronger
    than myself yesterday
[02:10] ---
    The future that is filled with hopes
[02:12] ---
    The dream I imagined over and over
[02:16] ---
    Will change tomorrow
[02:19] ---
    Keep on moving forward,
[02:21] ---
    Believe in Sky
[02:30] ---
    A SHOWDOWN! IT'S A FOOD BATTLE!
[02:36] ---
    Geez, Nao! You scared us!
    You were practicing cooking?
[02:41] ---
    Yeah. We have a cooking
    class at school next week,
[02:45] ---
    so they were teaching me some things,
    but I can't do anything right.
[02:49] ---
    Practice makes perfect in cooking.
[02:52] ---
    Come on, Nao. Let's do it again.
[02:59] ---
    All right. I can do it...
[03:05] ---
    Calm down, Nao!
[03:08] ---
    Don't be so nervous.
[03:09] ---
    You're kinda scary, Nao.
[03:12] ---
    You need to relax.
[03:15] ---
    OOOOH YEAH!
[03:19] ---
    Oh, Izumi! My bad!
[03:21] ---
    Hey, Nao, look what you did!
[03:23] ---
    Nao.
[03:25] ---
    Cooking isn't about strength.
    It's about heart.
[03:27] ---
    It's important to have
    the tender mind to think
[03:30] ---
    about the people who will
    be eating your food.
[03:34] ---
    Heart rather than strength.
[03:37] ---
    Man, that's what I'm bad at the most!
[03:42] ---
    Don't give up yet. You can do it.
    Let's start over from the beginning.
[03:49] ---
    My apawlogies for being late.
[03:51] ---
    I was helping a high school girl
    who got caught in a spider web.
[03:56] ---
    Nejiusa?
[04:00] ---
    What are you doing, meow?
[04:01] ---
    N-nothing. I'm not sneaking
    to eat the food or anything!
[04:04] ---
    Wow, it looks purrtty tasty!
[04:06] ---
    Are they trying to create a new men-mew?
[04:08] ---
    Th-they must be.
[04:10] ---
    I see, I see. If that's the case...
[04:14] ---
    we should taste it, meow!
[04:16] ---
    Yuina. You're bad, aren't you?
[04:27] ---
    You can't just add spices on a whim, Nao.
[04:30] ---
    Yeah.
[04:39] ---
    Yuina? Nejiusa?
[04:42] ---
    Yuina? Yuina?! Wake up!
[04:45] ---
    Oh... my dead grandma is
    calling my name, meow...
[04:48] ---
    Goodbye...
[04:50] ---
    Nejiusa?! NEJIUSAAAA!
[04:58] ---
    The world is still spinning...
[05:01] ---
    Sorry... Are you all right?
[05:04] ---
    I never imagined that it
    would be so apawling...
[05:07] ---
    It's your fault too, Nejiusa and Yuina.
[05:09] ---
    You guys were picking on the food secretly.
[05:12] ---
    Maybe I'm really not made for cooking.
[05:16] ---
    I'm not handy and too rough.
    
[05:19] ---
    I don't have any girly
    characteristics inside me.
[05:23] ---
    That's not true.
[05:27] ---
    You're very popular among our customers.
[05:32] ---
    THE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK
SIGN    Nao's smile always gives me energy. I'll be back! The coffee was great! I drew Nao Does it look like her? Today's coffee was like this.
[05:33] ---
    Wow! There's so much about you in here!
[05:36] ---
    R-really? Me?
[05:39] ---
    I've been asked about your name a few times.
[05:42] ---
    You play sports, so you have a great physique.
    People wish they looked like you.
[05:47] ---
    And short hair is popular, too, meow.
    At this shop, Rei and Nao are the top two, meow!
[05:53] ---
    What, really?
[05:55] ---
    Nao, you ARE a cute girl,
    so have more confidence in yourself.
[06:05] ---
    E-everything you're saying
    makes me so embarrassed...
[06:12] ---
    But I'm happy to learn that
    people think I'm cute.
[06:16] ---
    Oh, I should be cooking the next dish now!
[06:26] ---
    Wh-wh-wh-wh-what just happened?!
[06:28] ---
    Nao was just acting like a very girly girl!
[06:30] ---
    Did she eat something weird?!
[06:33] ---
    I've never seen her like that.
[06:36] ---
    That was cute.
[06:37] ---
    The more Nao gets treated like a girl,
    the more she starts to act like one.
[06:43] ---
    I-I had no idea.
[06:48] ---
    She's not used to being treated like a girl,
    so when people commend her,
[06:49] ---
    She's not used to being treated like a girl,
    so when people commend her,
[06:49] ---
    Get tasty, get tasty!
[06:51] ---
    she gets excited and goes into a girly mode.
[06:51] ---
    Get tasty, get tasty!
[06:53] ---
    she gets excited and goes into a girly mode.
[06:55] ---
    I see.
[06:56] ---
    That's cute.
[07:00] ---
    Sorry about the wait. Here it is!
[07:04] ---
    Wow...!
[07:06] ---
    The problem is the taste.
[07:08] ---
    L-let's have it then, meow...
[07:12] ---
    Gulp.
[07:18] ---
    Munch.
[07:20] ---
    IT'S DELICIOUS, MEOW!
[07:24] ---
    Seriously, it's purrfect!
[07:27] ---
    Thank goodness! I'm glad you like it.
[07:30] ---
    Well, let me see.
[07:34] ---
    It's good!
[07:35] ---
    Really?
[07:36] ---
    Yeah, I'm telling you the
    truth! It's very good!
[07:38] ---
    She will have no problem
    in the cooking class!
[07:41] ---
    Actually...
[07:45] ---
    Oh?! Am I...
[07:48] ---
    Oh, it's gone again.
[07:49] ---
    Just like that, Nao's "girly
    mode" doesn't last so long.
[07:50] ---
    Just like that, Nao's "girly
    mode" doesn't last so long.
[07:53] ---
    What triggers her to go back?
[07:55] ---
    It's...
[07:57] ---
    Guys! Look at that!
[08:00] ---
    A virus!
[08:01] ---
    Which one this time?!
[08:03] ---
    The Foodmaster?
[08:05] ---
    The main character is the so-called Foodmaster
    running a small restaurant,
[08:09] ---
    and he has food battles
    in this gourmet manga!
[08:12] ---
    The extraordinary action scenes
    in the anime version made it popular!
[08:16] ---
    Is this fitting or what?
[08:20] ---
    Okay! Let's do it again!
[08:22] ---
    Ayaka, Minami, let's go!
[08:24] ---
    Roger.
[08:25] ---
    I think it's going to be very predictable.
[08:34] ---
    So this is the world of "The Foodmaster."
[08:38] ---
    It's a very quiet town.
[08:41] ---
    All the shutters are closed.
[08:45] ---
    Is that it?
[08:50] ---
    MEDAMA RESTAURANT
[08:51] ---
    This is the restaurant of the Foodmaster.
[08:53] ---
    MEDAMA RESTAURANT
    Open for business
[08:57] ---
    Wow, it's so old!
[08:59] ---
    I'd never wanna eat the food
    from such a restaurant.
[09:03] ---
    I can hear you all!
[09:07] ---
    Wh-what are you doing?!
[09:10] ---
    I can't stand people who criticize my cooking
    without even tasting it!
[09:14] ---
    First you gotta try my food!
[09:17] ---
    Wh-who's that?
[09:19] ---
    He's the Foodmaster!
[09:21] ---
    What are you talking to each other about?!
    Go home if you're not gonna eat!
[09:25] ---
    Let's go.
[09:26] ---
    I guess we'll have to.
[09:28] ---
    He's probably just a big
    mouth with no skills!
[09:34] ---
    Man, that was delicious~!
[09:37] ---
    It's like what they say,
    "A man in rags hides a heart of gold."
[09:41] ---
    Look how quickly your opinion changed...
[09:43] ---
    As long as he knows, no problem.
[09:45] ---
    You have such great food,
    but there are no customers.
[09:51] ---
    We didn't see anyone at all
    on the shopping street, either.
[09:55] ---
    It's been like this since
    that strange woman showed up!
[09:57] ---
    She had strange creatures
    and destroyed shop after shop in this town.
[10:02] ---
    A strange woman...
    All the other shops went down, but I'm not giving in!
[10:04] ---
    With strange creatures...
    All the other shops went down, but I'm not giving in!
[10:06] ---
    I'll protect this restaurant no matter what!
[10:06] ---
    Could it be...?
    I'll protect this restaurant no matter what!
[10:07] ---
    I'll protect this restaurant no matter what!
[10:14] ---
    You're still in business?
[10:15] ---
    Okayama! You came again!
[10:18] ---
    Who's that?
[10:18] ---
    He's a gourmet reporter
    and Foodmaster's rival, Okayama.
[10:25] ---
    I'll have an order of katsudon.
[10:29] ---
    Coming right up.
[10:30] ---
    This is how their food battle begins.
[10:39] ---
    Thank you for the food.
[10:51] ---
    This katsudon is crap. I can't eat this.
[10:54] ---
    There you go again! You always come here
    to interfere with my business!
[10:57] ---
    You're losing the skills of Foodmaster.
[10:59] ---
    Listen to me!
[11:01] ---
    Okayama is a popular character who goes to different
    restaurants and acts so confrontational like this.
[11:01] ---
    It's too rich and overdone.
[11:05] ---
    Grrr....
[11:06] ---
    These girls here can cook
    much better than this!
[11:07] ---
    He's a pain in the ass.
[11:08] ---
    These girls here can cook
    much better than this!
[11:11] ---
    Why don't you try?
[11:17] ---
    Let me correct what I said earlier...
[11:19] ---
    This tastes just as terrible.
[11:21] ---
    What?!
[11:22] ---
    What's terrible is your sense of taste!
[11:24] ---
    Sorry about the wait.
[11:33] ---
    Zero points for presentation.
[11:43] ---
    This is delicious! Too good! What is this?!
    I can't put my chopsticks down!
[11:47] ---
    What the hell happened?!
[11:48] ---
    Is this because of our training?!
[11:49] ---
    I'm so impressed. Nao has
    turned into a great cook.
[11:55] ---
    It was very good.
[11:59] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:01] ---
    I should be the one thanking you.
[12:02] ---
    Huh?
[12:03] ---
    I met a wonderful woman
    like you. I'm a happy man.
[12:16] ---
    Please come again!
[12:18] ---
    Oh, she went into girly mode again.
[12:24] ---
    This is the last day of this
    restaurant! Be ready for that!
[12:34] ---
    M-Maya...
[12:37] ---
    With this shopping street gone,
[12:40] ---
    it's as good as this manga's
    world being destroyed!
[12:43] ---
    Go on, little viruses! Get them!
[12:47] ---
    Memorial Change!
[13:07] ---
    No, please don't come here!
[13:11] ---
    Maya! That's as far as you go!
[13:13] ---
    We won't let you do
    whatever you want anymore!
[13:15] ---
    Th-they're right...
[13:16] ---
    Oh, you girls came again?
[13:19] ---
    Well what about you?!
[13:21] ---
    You lose every time we fight,
    but you still can't give up and show yourself again.
[13:25] ---
    You really don't learn, do you?
[13:27] ---
    Shut up!
[13:30] ---
    Well, taking the theme of this series,
    how about we have a food battle?!
[13:36] ---
    A food battle?
[13:37] ---
    We make the same dish
    and compete to decide whose is more delicious.
[13:41] ---
    How does that sound?
[13:42] ---
    And if we win, you'll
    leave without complaining.
[13:45] ---
    Of course. But if I win...
    this world will be mine.
[13:52] ---
    Fine. Let's do a food battle!
[13:54] ---
    All right! If we're gonna have a food battle,
    let me handle it!
[13:57] ---
    Get back! I know who I'm fighting against!
[14:01] ---
    You! The boyish one!
[14:04] ---
    HUH?!
[14:05] ---
    I've already researched and found
    that the boyish girl is a terrible cook.
[14:10] ---
    This is gonna be an easy win!
[14:12] ---
    N-no way. I can't do this!
[14:15] ---
    Don't worry. You can win now, Nao!
[14:18] ---
    Maya doesn't know about your girly mode.
    That's why she picked you.
[14:23] ---
    B-but I'm....
[14:25] ---
    Be confident. We guarantee
    your cooking skills.
[14:29] ---
    Give it all you got!
[14:34] ---
    Now! The food battle has
    started almost too forcefully!
[14:38] ---
    The fate of this world
    depends on this battle.
[14:41] ---
    Who's going to win, Nao or Maya?!
[14:44] ---
    A play-by-play coverage will
    be done by me, Nejiusa!
[14:47] ---
    And joining me is commentator
    and judge, Okayama!
[14:50] ---
    A pleasure.
[14:52] ---
    So Okayama. So far, what do you think
    of Maya's movements?
[14:57] ---
    Splendid.
[14:59] ---
    It's probably thanks to having
    a single life for a long time.
[15:01] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[15:03] ---
    On the other hand, what do think of Nao?
[15:05] ---
    Very good. No unnecessary moves,
    just delicate and elegant,
[15:08] ---
    like a traditional Japanese woman.
[15:10] ---
    N-no way, you're embarrassing me!
[15:14] ---
    H-hey what's going on?
[15:17] ---
    I thought that tomboyish
    girl couldn't cook well!
[15:19] ---
    What's with her cutting skills?!
[15:22] ---
    This is bad. At this rate, I could lose.
[15:25] ---
    It looks like we're gonna win.
[15:27] ---
    As long as Nao is in her girly mode,
    we have nothing to worry about.
[15:31] ---
    Huh?
[15:33] ---
    Nao, behind you!
[15:37] ---
    Whoa! All the viruses have started
    to attack Nao all at once!
[15:42] ---
    What happened to the food battle?!
[15:44] ---
    She's not an old woman
    wearing pumps for nothing.
[15:45] ---
    She'll do anything to wi-
[15:46] ---
    That's rude! I'm still in my 20s!
[15:48] ---
    Nao!
[15:53] ---
    Are you all right?!
[15:54] ---
    Y-yes.
[15:56] ---
    Maya, you're such a cheater!
[15:59] ---
    Isn't this supposed to
    be a one-on-one battle?
[16:01] ---
    Well yeah, the food battle is,
    but I don't care what happens outside of it.
[16:06] ---
    Go on, interrupt her!
[16:11] ---
    S-so many are coming now!
[16:14] ---
    Nao, let us deal with them!
[16:17] ---
    You focus on cooking!
[16:26] ---
    I'm sorry, but I'm too
    scared. I can't cook well.
[16:31] ---
    You'll be fine! Just cook as you always do!
[16:34] ---
    That's right, Nao! Relax
    and take a deep breath!
[16:37] ---
    O-okay.
[16:41] ---
    Oh no! Don't relax!
[16:42] ---
    What?
[16:49] ---
    Whoa! Wh-what is this? What's going on?!
[16:53] ---
    Nao comes out of her girly
    mode when she relaxes.
[16:57] ---
    What?!
[17:01] ---
    I'm not quite sure what's going on,
    but she looks like the usual tomboyish girl now!
[17:05] ---
    This battle is mine now!
[17:07] ---
    Nao, at this point, you have to cook.
[17:11] ---
    What?!
[17:12] ---
    We taught you how to make curry.
    Remember and you can do it!
[17:16] ---
    B-but I... I can't...
[17:20] ---
    The fate of this world
    depends on your cooking!
[17:24] ---
    Please, Nao!
[17:33] ---
    I'll try!
[17:37] ---
    Relax your muscles
    when you hold a knife and just slide it...
[17:42] ---
    Cook the onion slowly until it turns brown,
    but do not burn it...
[17:48] ---
    Start boiling with the roughest vegetables,
    and carefully remove the scum.
[17:53] ---
    Th-this isn't looking good.
    She's not bad at all.
[18:02] ---
    Time's up! Now, the judging time!
[18:08] ---
    First is Maya's curry!
[18:15] ---
    Go ahead and have some.
[18:21] ---
    A black curry?! What's this?!
[18:23] ---
    It's my special virus curry!
[18:26] ---
    "Virus curry"?!
[18:27] ---
    That's a terrible name.
[18:29] ---
    I'd lose my appetite.
[18:31] ---
    All right then... I shall have it.
[18:40] ---
    Th-this curry!
[18:42] ---
    What is it...?
[18:45] ---
    My hand automatically brings
    curry into my mouth,
[18:46] ---
    Wow, what happened to Okayama?!
[18:48] ---
    like I'm under a magic spell.
[18:49] ---
    He's digging into that curry,
    like he's high or something!
[18:50] ---
    I can't stop moving my spoon...
[18:52] ---
    Is it really that good?!
[18:56] ---
    That's my curry! I'm the queen!
    Yes, the Queen of Curry!
[19:02] ---
    Look at Okayama's reaction.
[19:05] ---
    Maybe Maya put in some kind of potion.
[19:08] ---
    What?! Nao...
[19:15] ---
    I can't stop eating. Yum, yum, yum...
[19:20] ---
    Yum... yum... yum...
    Here's my curry. Please.
[19:26] ---
    That looks VERY ordinary...
[19:29] ---
    I won.
[19:30] ---
    Yum...
    Try it.
[19:37] ---
    Huh?!
[19:38] ---
    How dare you...?
[19:40] ---
    How dare you make me eat this?!
[19:43] ---
    This... This is...
[19:46] ---
    SOOO GOOD!
[19:53] ---
    Such deep flavor!
[19:56] ---
    The spiciness, sweetness,
    depth, and bitterness...

    All the flavors are in perfect harmony!
[20:03] ---
    Oh, I want to stay dipped in
    this sea of curry forever!
[20:07] ---
    The ingredients are perfect, too!
[20:09] ---
    They truly synchronize with the curry,
    as if they're dancing inside my mouth!
[20:18] ---
    This is THE ultimate curry!
    Thank you! It was great!
[20:23] ---
    Wow, I just did my best to please everyone.
[20:28] ---
    That thought made a miracle happen.
    This is above ultimate.
[20:33] ---
    This is a miracle curry.
[20:35] ---
    "A miracle curry"...
[20:47] ---
    Congratulations! You're the winner!
[20:49] ---
    What a surprise!
[20:50] ---
    Great job, Nao!
    Nao, who thinks she's bad at cooking, won the battle!
[20:52] ---
    A miracle curry, huh? I better work on my skills too!
    This is truly a miracle!
[20:56] ---
    Wait a minute! There must be a mistake!
[20:59] ---
    How can she beat my curry?!
[21:15] ---
    If I get serious about cooking,
    I can get boys to fall for me!
[21:30] ---
    How can Okayama say Nao's curry is good
    when it made Maya so sick and crazy?
[21:36] ---
    What does it mean?
[21:38] ---
    Maybe because of the virus, people in this world
    had a strange sense of taste.
[21:44] ---
    That would mean that
    Nao's cooking is still...
[21:47] ---
    Wow, so my curry's that good, huh?
[21:52] ---
    Maybe we should keep our mouths shut.
[21:55] ---
    Ayaka! Minami! Cooking is so fun!
[21:59] ---
    Teach me more, okay?
[22:02] ---
    S-sure.
[22:04] ---
    My pleasure...
[22:23] ---
    The world I long for and cherish
[22:28] ---
    Is always in my heart (here)
[22:31] ---
    It won't fade
[22:34] ---
    Days when we laugh till our tears fall
[22:39] ---
    Or get depressed because of mishaps
[22:45] ---
    We can help each other face obstacles
[22:50] ---
    We'll make sure to get it back
[22:57] ---
    To hopes
[23:00] ---
    When protecting what we cherish
[23:06] ---
    Tremendous amounts of
    power well up from inside
[23:12] ---
    Because you're here, I won't give up
[23:17] ---
    I'll push forward, I decided
[23:23] ---
    Strong bond "miracle" shines and sparkles
