    Today's special report:
    must-try gratin from famous restaurants!
[00:17] ---
    That looks good!
[00:19] ---
    Isn't it about time to go... Mm?
[00:24] ---
    What are you watching?
[00:25] ---
    Oh, nothing, I just spaced out for a second.
SIGN    "Great for the Reiwa Era!" "Fluffy Melty Gratin! A backstreet tour of the popular spots"
[00:29] ---
    What do you think?
[00:30] ---
    It's the cheese gratin
    everyone's talking about!
[00:34] ---
    Hot, cheesy, melty... Looks amazing, right?
[00:39] ---
    "Gratin," huh?
[00:40] ---
    Yeah...
[00:44] ---
    Mm! When you take a bite,
[00:47] ---
    the cheese's aroma
    spreads through your mouth!
[00:52] ---
    Oh! Look at the time!
[00:56] ---
    Sorry, Senko, I've got to go!
[01:00] ---
    Take care!
[01:02] ---
    Okay!
[01:03] ---
    And here is the next restaurant's gratin!
[01:08] ---
    Another hot, cheesy, melty, delicious gratin!
[01:13] ---
    "Gratin"...
[01:34] ---
    "The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
[02:46] ---
    "Episode 9: Is this less
    embarrassing for you?"
[02:49] ---
    "Koenji"
[02:51] ---
    Huh? You want to make gratin?
[02:54] ---
    Mm. I just don't know how...
[02:59] ---
    It's not that hard. Even I can make it.
[03:03] ---
    Mm!
[03:04] ---
    Jasuko, you can cook?
[03:07] ---
    Some stuff.
[03:08] ---
    You've never made anything for me!
[03:11] ---
    It's a pain, so I usually don't cook.
[03:14] ---
    What a bum.
[03:15] ---
    You're one to talk.
[03:17] ---
    Eep...
[03:19] ---
    I'm surprised, though.
[03:21] ---
    I would have thought
    you'd be able to make gratin.
[03:24] ---
    I always think of you
    as being good at cooking.
[03:26] ---
    I don't have much experience
    with western food.
[03:28] ---
    Japanese food is my specialty.
[03:31] ---
    That's right! Your cooking
    is the best in the world.
[03:34] ---
    That's going too far!
[03:36] ---
    Oh, no, it's always so delicious!
    I really appreciate it!
[03:41] ---
    Not at all--I enjoy doing it.
[03:45] ---
    And that's what I love about you!
[03:48] ---
    All right!
[03:50] ---
    Why don't we make the gratin together?
[03:54] ---
    Right now? Are you sure?
[03:56] ---
    I hit a wall with my work,
    so it'll be a nice change!
[04:00] ---
    Mm!
[04:02] ---
    I'll help, too!
[04:04] ---
    Eep! What did you say?
[04:06] ---
    Thank you, everyone.
[04:10] ---
    I wonder how many hundreds of years
    it's been since Shiro has said she'd help...
[04:14] ---
    That's not true!
[04:18] ---
    Hundreds of years!
    Senko, that's quite an exaggeration!
[04:21] ---
    Mm...
[04:22] ---
    Okay! It's been a while, but let's cook!
[04:26] ---
    She think's you're cosplaying, too, huh?
[04:31] ---
    Of course.
[04:33] ---
    Mm...
[04:35] ---
    "Plump texture"
[04:39] ---
    And the butter...
[04:41] ---
    Okay, that's all the ingredients!
[04:43] ---
    I've never seen a lot of these...
[04:46] ---
    What's this?
[04:49] ---
    It's called macaroni, and...
[04:52] ---
    Yuck! It's hard and flavorless!
[04:56] ---
    You should have let me finish!
[04:58] ---
    You're not supposed to eat it like that.
[05:01] ---
    Eep.
[05:02] ---
    You should have said so sooner!
[05:05] ---
    You boil it and then eat it.
[05:07] ---
    Boil it, huh?
[05:09] ---
    Leave the flame to me!
[05:17] ---
    Huh?
[05:25] ---
    I used to make believe like that, too!
[05:29] ---
    I could make a flame come out
    of my hand and control its size!
[05:32] ---
    --Or something like that!
    --Eep...
[05:34] ---
    I'll just turn it up a little-- Eep!
[05:39] ---
    Wow, you've even perfected
    your awkward preteen act! Amazing!
[05:45] ---
    You guys are always having
    so much fun! I love it!
[05:48] ---
    Indeed...
[05:52] ---
    It's boiling!
[05:53] ---
    Roger that! Put in the macaroni, then.
[05:57] ---
    This, right?
[05:59] ---
    "Trash Sorting Chart"
[06:01] ---
    Leave the flame to me!
[06:06] ---
    I guess she's got it under control!
[06:08] ---
    Eep!
[06:09] ---
    Eep...
[06:10] ---
    "Bacon"
[06:11] ---
    There's a special trick to the next part.
[06:15] ---
    Chop the onion into small slices...
[06:19] ---
    ...and cut the bacon into thin strips.
[06:22] ---
    Melt the butter...
[06:24] ---
    ...then add cake flour and milk
    and mix them in.
[06:28] ---
    Mm!
[06:33] ---
    I just need to watch out for lumps, right?
[06:36] ---
    ♪ Mm, mm, mm... ♪
[06:39] ---
    ♪ Mm, mm, mm... ♪
[06:40] ---
    She's so skilled. Does she even need me here?
[06:47] ---
    How's this?
[06:48] ---
    Perfect!
[06:50] ---
    Now add the boiled macaroni
    and the other ingredients we cooked.
[06:55] ---
    Got it!
[06:56] ---
    Thank you!
[07:03] ---
    Next, season it a bit with salt and pepper.
[07:07] ---
    Hee-hee...
[07:08] ---
    Hey, Shiro!
[07:09] ---
    Eep!
[07:11] ---
    You're not supposed to put sugar in it!
[07:13] ---
    Huh? You're not?
[07:15] ---
    What's with the childishly innocent face?
[07:19] ---
    Psh! The sweetness would
    definitely make it taste better.
[07:22] ---
    It's like she has absolute faith in sugar...
[07:27] ---
    What's the next step?
[07:29] ---
    Let's see. We need to move it to the dish.
[07:33] ---
    Mm!
[07:38] ---
    And now put the cheese on!
[07:41] ---
    This is actually pretty good.
[07:43] ---
    "Melty cheese"
[07:43] ---
    Hey, that's not for snacking!
[07:49] ---
    How does that look?
[07:51] ---
    Great!
[07:54] ---
    And finally, we put it
    in the oven for baking!
[07:58] ---
    Oven? Isn't that a microwave?
[08:02] ---
    You can use it as an oven, too!
[08:04] ---
    It's sort of like a Japanese kiln.
[08:07] ---
    Wow! I didn't know
    they made kilns of this size.
[08:11] ---
    Life sure is easy these days.
[08:14] ---
    Sometimes, you sound
    like an old woman, Senko.
[08:19] ---
    You are an old woman, after all.
[08:22] ---
    Eep...
[08:23] ---
    "Start"
[08:24] ---
    Here we go!
[08:30] ---
    Is it done yet? Is it done yet?
[08:32] ---
    Is it done yet? Is it done yet?
[08:49] ---
    Ooh!
[08:51] ---
    --Mm?
    --Is it finished?
[08:54] ---
    --Yes!
    --Ooh!
[08:57] ---
    It's really cooked!
[08:58] ---
    The cheese smells so good!
[09:02] ---
    I can't wait anymore!
[09:07] ---
    Let's eat!
[09:19] ---
    Well, I'll have some, too, then.
[09:26] ---
    I'll have a bite, too.
[09:33] ---
    --Mm, it's great!
    --It's so melty and delicious!
[09:37] ---
    I could get hooked on this cheese stuff! Mm!
[09:40] ---
    You really look like you're enjoying it!
    I understand, though.
[09:45] ---
    It turned out this well on your first try.
[09:47] ---
    No surprise there!
    I'm sure Nakano will love it, too!
[09:52] ---
    Mm! Now I know I can make it,
    so I'll cook it for him next time.
[09:57] ---
    And you couldn't have done it without me!
[10:00] ---
    Where does her cockiness come from?
[10:03] ---
    Who knows?
[10:04] ---
    Hmm-hmm!
[10:09] ---
    Oh, thank you for cleaning up!
[10:11] ---
    Mm! I should be thanking you!
[10:16] ---
    It's actually cleaner than it was before...
[10:20] ---
    I learned a lot today. And it was fun
    cooking with the two of you.
[10:25] ---
    All I did was read the recipe.
[10:28] ---
    I was able to cook it because you taught me.
[10:31] ---
    Will you cook with me again?
[10:36] ---
    Of course!
[10:40] ---
    Hmm-hmm! And I'll help!
[10:43] ---
    You're in charge of eating.
[10:46] ---
    Yeah...
[10:47] ---
    I can watch over the flame!
[10:49] ---
    That's true.
[10:59] ---
    Ooh! Thank you!
[11:02] ---
    Eat up!
[11:11] ---
    How is it?
[11:14] ---
    Dewissus!
[11:16] ---
    I've been wanting to eat gratin lately!
[11:20] ---
    I'm glad to hear it!
[11:24] ---
    You can make western food, too, huh?
[11:27] ---
    Koenji showed me how.
[11:29] ---
    I see...
[11:32] ---
    Huh?
[11:34] ---
    You even got the fried tofu in there.
[11:37] ---
    And white miso, ginger--
    I added a couple of secret ingredients!
[11:43] ---
    Oh, so that's why.
[11:47] ---
    It's western food,
    but it still tastes like your cooking.
[11:56] ---
    That...
[11:58] ---
    ...is the flavor of my love!
[12:04] ---
    Well then, no wonder it's so good!
[12:09] ---
    Naturally!
[12:16] ---
    I made some food, Jasuko!
[12:18] ---
    Really?!
[12:23] ---
    It's just instant ramen!
[12:24] ---
    What? The water was heated
    perfectly with my flame!
[12:29] ---
    Oh, ok. Thanks, Shiro! I'm happy.
[12:33] ---
    Here we go!
[12:38] ---
    It's so sweet!
[12:39] ---
    I put some sugar in it. Good, right?
[12:42] ---
    What's with your sense of taste?
[12:45] ---
    "The Helpful Fox Senko-san"
[12:53] ---
    "Nakano"
[12:53] ---
    I'm back.
[12:54] ---
    Welcome home!
[12:57] ---
    Thanks for all your hard work today.
[12:59] ---
    Ah, not at all.
[13:05] ---
    Coming home to the AC is the best.
[13:09] ---
    Things are much easier these days.
[13:12] ---
    It's rough when the hot weather
    continues into fall.
[13:16] ---
    --Mm!
    --Oh, thank you.
[13:19] ---
    Wearing a jacket when
    it's this hot is like suicide.
[13:23] ---
    Just looking at it makes
    me feel uncomfortably hot.
[13:26] ---
    You're right. I wonder why
    we have to wear them.
[13:31] ---
    Eep! Your long hair must
    make you feel hot, too!
[13:36] ---
    I know I'm due for a trim,
    I just don't have the time for it.
[13:41] ---
    I see. Well that makes it easy.
[13:45] ---
    Huh?
[13:47] ---
    I'll cut your hair!
[13:49] ---
    At home?
[13:51] ---
    Mm! Right here, right now.
[13:54] ---
    I'm quite the stylist, you know!
[13:57] ---
    Are you sure? You won't give me
    a samurai cut or anything, right?
[14:01] ---
    You're mocking me, aren't you?
[14:03] ---
    Look! I've been thinking you
    needed a cut for a while,
[14:07] ---
    so I did plenty of research.
[14:09] ---
    Oh, wow. You probably know more than I do.
[14:13] ---
    All right, let's do it!
[14:15] ---
    Mm!
[14:23] ---
    Here we go!
[14:25] ---
    Okay!
[14:35] ---
    She seems pretty used to it.
    I guess I'll let her take over.
[14:43] ---
    Eep!
[14:44] ---
    That was quite a sound.
[14:46] ---
    Th-These scissors just cut very well.
[14:49] ---
    All you have to do is shorten it a bit.
[14:53] ---
    I know! Just leave it to me!
[14:59] ---
    Okay, I'm all yours!
[15:01] ---
    Mm! Got it!
[15:03] ---
    All right. I'm going to go for it!
[15:09] ---
    How's that?
[15:12] ---
    Eep!
[15:14] ---
    Okay, how's this?
[15:18] ---
    Eep!
[15:19] ---
    This time... Well?
[15:23] ---
    What does she want from me?
[15:31] ---
    Just kidding! I'll be serious now.
[15:36] ---
    Oh, good.
[15:54] ---
    The delightful snip of the scissors.
[16:00] ---
    It feels as though I've
    surrendered myself to her.
[16:05] ---
    That reminds me...
[16:11] ---
    Did my mother used to cut
    my hair like this, too?

[16:44] ---
    Ooh! A nice fresh haircut!
[16:47] ---
    Isn't it though?
[16:48] ---
    Thank you. Sorry, I kind of dozed off there.
[16:52] ---
    Think nothing of it.
    You must have been quite tired.
[16:57] ---
    That's a lot of hair!
[17:01] ---
    I'm surprised you went
    so long without cutting it!
[17:07] ---
    I'm going to go wash my hair.
[17:09] ---
    Hang on, now! The fun is just beginning!
[17:21] ---
    Wait, Senko! It's embarrassing
    doing this at home!
[17:27] ---
    Eep?
[17:28] ---
    I can wash my own hair!
[17:32] ---
    Here. Is this less embarrassing for you?
[17:38] ---
    Leave everything to me!
[17:51] ---
    I'm going to start washing now.
[17:52] ---
    Okay.
[18:00] ---
    Huh?
[18:02] ---
    Did having your head washed
    always feel this good?
[18:10] ---
    Senko's fingers are so soft and warm--
    Gentle, sometimes firm...
[18:16] ---
    Massaging it all away...
[18:18] ---
    Any itchy spots?
[18:20] ---
    No...
[18:22] ---
    The soft fluff spreading over me...
[18:26] ---
    All my stagnant thoughts melt away...
[18:29] ---
    She isn't just washing my hair...
[18:38] ---
    She is washing away
    all of my troubles and cares!
[18:49] ---
    Thank you so much!
[18:51] ---
    My head is completely clear!
[18:53] ---
    Please do it again!
[18:56] ---
    I'm glad to hear you say that!
[18:59] ---
    I was just copying what I saw,
[19:01] ---
    but I'm glad I was able
    to make you so handsome!
[19:05] ---
    Hmm?
[19:07] ---
    Senko, did you just say you were
    copying what you saw?
[19:09] ---
    Eep!
[19:10] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:13] ---
    Th-That was the first time
    I'd used scissors and a modern cut...
[19:18] ---
    The first time?
[19:20] ---
    Your first time! But you seemed so confident!
[19:24] ---
    But it was a success, wasn't it?
[19:25] ---
    And I reconnected the part
    where I messed up...
[19:29] ---
    Reconnected?!
[19:43] ---
    You're joking, right?
[19:46] ---
    Where is it?
[19:48] ---
    You need not worry.
    It should stay on for two or three days.
[19:52] ---
    Two or three days?! Then what?!
[19:55] ---
    And then... Only the gods can say.
[19:58] ---
    What?!
[19:59] ---
    Just kidding. It's on there for good.
[20:04] ---
    Well, it'll grow out soon anyway.
    It would have been fine.
[20:08] ---
    Mm! And then I'll have another go at it!
[20:12] ---
    No, that's okay.
    I won't ask you to do it anymore.
[20:15] ---
    What?
[20:16] ---
    Eep...
[20:19] ---
    Ee... Eep...
[20:22] ---
    Just kidding!
[20:24] ---
    Eep! You got me.
[20:27] ---
    I've got to get payback now and then.
[20:31] ---
    Thank you.
[20:33] ---
    Huh?
[20:34] ---
    I've done a lot of new things thanks to you.
[20:38] ---
    It's been fun for me, too.
[20:47] ---
    No, thank you.

    "Super Senko-san Time"
[22:27] ---
    Welcome home!
[22:29] ---
    You're even later than normal today!
[22:32] ---
    You really worked hard, didn't you?
[22:34] ---
    Have you had any food?
[22:38] ---
    Eep! That's terrible!
[22:43] ---
    You're so tired that you want
    to go straight to bed?
[22:45] ---
    But if you go to bed without eating,
    you might wake up in the middle of the night.
[22:51] ---
    I'll make you a little snack--
    Just give me a minute, okay?
[22:56] ---
    Mm!
[22:58] ---
    Here it is! My Special Fox Udon!
[23:02] ---
    It's topped with sweetly stewed
    fried tofu and white leeks.
[23:07] ---
    Feeling hungry now?
[23:09] ---
    I'm glad to hear it!
[23:11] ---
    I was hoping you could eat it
    at a more proper time,
[23:15] ---
    but I know you've got your reasons--
[23:18] ---
    If eating this makes you feel
    a little better, I'll be happy!
[23:23] ---
    Right, then! Hurry now, before it cools!
[23:28] ---
    You really did a great job today.
[23:31] ---
    Good night!
