Itadakimasu.
Really? Nishikado-san decided to eat dinner later on with Meiko on purpose?
He was just planning to cheer her up don't you think?
Mei-chan got teased about her height and ended up crying.
Oh my.
Hey, Teru. Go check up on your sister, will ya.
Why? Because I said so.
Ok.
...you're not gonna eat? You go ahead first.
Once you eat, then I'll start as well.
Itadakimasu.
Wow, it's
Yeah, this is it.
~Music~
Yeah. Wow.
This is exactly what I thought a Scotch Egg would be... the yolk, sauce, and meat all mixing together as one.
A Scotch Egg is... Huh?

Week Two: Meeting Yuu for the First Time Episode 12
Suddenly, unexpectedly, or inevitably?
We don’t notice when it begins.
Things don’t always go as expected.
When that happens, all we can do is grin.
As the raindrops fall one by one, the colors of the town change,
and without an umbrella, I can sing to the rainy sky above.
I love you for who you are.
Please look up and let the light shine on your face.
So that the river of tears can return to the ocean.
Hallelujah! Everyone’s heart will make it through difficult times to the brighter days ahead.
A Scotch Egg is, to put it simply,
A boiled egg wrapped in ground beef, and fried.
But if you cover the egg with only a little bit of meat and only fry it for a short time,
you can keep the egg soft-boiled.
However, by doing that, you can't bring out the true flavor of the meat.
This is exactly what we're paying attention to when
we're talking about heat conduction and specific heat.
Oh, you mean the stuff for the test! That's it.
Asking the chef, based on his experience, the meat is easier to heat up than the egg.
With that being said, if we keep the same thickness all the way around
we can expect only the meat part to heat up quickly.
That's to say if we change it to an oval shape,
and make the sides thicker,
it will also keep the meat from getting well-done
meaning we can finish cooking the meat while still keeping the egg soft-boiled inside.
At least that was the conclusion I reached.
So, I asked chef to give it a try...
You see, cooking is science.
By no means are things like heat conduction and specific heat irrelevant in your life.
If you look at it that way, aren't you interested in science?
And after that?
Isn't there more? Like, other things like this.
When it comes to pickling, the volume shrinks
because the water that's inside comes out of the vegetable.
So why does the water escape from the vegetable?
It's because the salt that's in the rice bran draws out the water through osmotic pressure.
Osmotic pressure...
Have you ever wondered why milk is white?
It's because there are particles floating in the water called colloids.
Hold on. So you're saying that if there aren't colloids, it would just be water?
That's right.
So in other words, colloids are delicious, right?
Well, I wouldn't quite put it that way...
Ah, the wire mesh netting! If you don't make it hot, the fish will stick!
Huh?
It's because the congealing point for the protein of fish is 60°C.
That's why
as long as you get the temperature above that it won't stick.
Oh, by the way, do you know why milk is white? No idea.
It's because of things called colloids that are floating in the water.
When you boil red shiso, the boiled water turns purple.
If we add some vinegar then...
The acidic reaction to the vinegar changes the pigment to red.
Yup. It's because of pigments called anthocyanins.
Mom, it's like she's changed into a completely different person.
But she's always been this way hasn't she?
Whenever she gets crazy about something, she rushes stupidly head first.
I want grandma to eat a strawberry!
If she stays like this, I won't be able to eat her nukazuke anymore.
Meiko! Knock it off!
Red shiso with vinegar is good for beautiful skin and helping you feel better when you're tired, right?
That's it. Cooking is science, right?
So, I think that castella tastes better when you break it apart, instead of cutting it.
Dare I say that's because the surface area that meets your tongue increases.
Ah, I see. Yeah.
Grandma would always break it apart just like this
Doing it this way makes it taste better she said.
It's amazing isn't it... people were really smart even back then.
They didn't know the reason behind it,
but they could still make sense of things.
It's really amazing.
Did I say something?
Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time now...
...what is it?
Actually... ....yes?
We've only been doing things that aren't going to be on the test.
For today, let's study normally.
I mean, so that you at least get the basics.
without any trouble. That sounds good.
You may begin.
English subtitles provided by Kimigayo Subs.
Uno-san Yes?
Huh? You're going home already?
Yeah, I can't concentrate.
Nishikado-san! Normally, people say something BEFORE entering...
~Music~
It was a piece of cake! That's called barely passing.
Well, you could put it that way but...
But what?
Gimme a break.
Normally, one would start by saying "good job" or something like that.
Normally, one would start by saying "thank you" or something like that.
Um... can I have that back?
It's enough already. The test is over.
Give it back, will ya? Oh!
I got it. Ah, now it's clear.
Here you go.
What is it?
Your writing. My writing?
You have your words written big, and small, all jumbled together.
You're right!
...all the parts that you wrote big you got correct.
While all the parts that you wrote small, you got wrong.
Yeah, that's true. I wonder why I did that.
Maybe it's because you had confidence in the stuff you knew, so you wrote it big,
while the parts you didn't know you wrote kinda small?
I think so.
That means that you knew what parts you didn't know, right?!
You did it.
Um...
Thanks for the meal! (Meiko equates this saying with "thanks for your hard work.")
What the heck did she eat?
Air...I have to let it breathe!
(Tora) "Ah, that's good. Now, I can breathe.
Even though it seems like you're having trouble breathing.
It's not from running over here.
Meiko, it's because
it means that your life is just starting!
To be continued...
Next week on Gouchisousan...
Nishikado-san never eats natto when we have it with breakfast, right?
Why won't you eat it?
Are you thinking about Tsutenkaku?
Isn't he so cool?!
You knew it was dangerous?!
My mother...died in a fire.
There's nothing else...that I want to do...
It's the first time she's ever said she wants to cook...
