(PREVIOUSLY) This is Stand La reine!
The three-star restaurant, La Cuisine de La reine,
has set up a food stall!
Seriously?
This is a battle between the stalls of Hoshino Mitsuko and La reine.
What's ironic is the dishes at La reine's stall...
were all created by Chef Hoshino.
The two stalls are within one minute walking distance of each other...
and are now battling against each other.
Although it's also a stall, you can clearly see the difference.
It's like a tank against a bamboo gun.
I wish I could serve more than one dish. I have so many good ideas!
Stand La reine has achieved a huge success.
Hoshino Mitsuko always gives me the best inspirations.
You've always cared about Hoshino Mitsuko, haven't you?
This is her new duck confit.
That woman plans to add seasonal foods and change her dish every day.
The taste is going to be different every time you eat it.
Although this is duck confit, it's not only one dish.
The number of customers has started to decline.
There's another major reason. The existence of Chef Hoshino.
Shinoda-san, it seems like...
not every business you start will be successful.
Hoshino Mitsuko has...
a great influence on you, doesn't she?

They're serving the Happy School Lunch today.
- Pizza toast! - I love pizza toast!
- Me too. - I love corn pottage!
I wish we can have school lunch earlier.
I'm really looking forward to it!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
We're looking forward to the school lunch today!
I'll eat a lot!
Let's go!
Everyone is looking forward to the school lunch today.
We only serve the Happy School Lunch once every semester after all.
Araki-san's pizza toast was the most well-received dish.
Every student loved it.
That's the best dish in my opinion too.
For me, the corn pottage is the best.
That's also the best dish in my opinion too.
How many best dishes do you have?
Hey. Where's Hidaka-san?
Morning, everyone.
Masataka, Hidaka Masataka.
I'm going with the James Bond style today.
What's going on?
- You bought this? - Really?
No, Ryoko-san begged me.
- For? - She's playing golf this weekend,
so she wants me to wash her beloved car.
You're just her servant.
My goodness. Everyone is relying on me.
Haru-chan, why don't we go for a drive before I return the car?
Let's drive along the beach and feel the charisma of factories!
Hey. Wait.
Ms Satomi, what do you think?
The education committee will be visiting today,
so you can't park here.
Pardon?
Please park at the parking lot two kilometres from here.
Two kilometres? Wait, Ms Satomi,
two kilometres is a little too far, isn't it?
Shoot!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
She's been like this for the last few days.
Her stall is doing well,
so this has become the norm every morning now.
- Let's dance together! - Let's dance together!
All right. Let's dance.
He's dancing with them. He's dancing with them!
Hey, why isn't any of my dishes...
included in the Happy School Lunch?
Hoshino Mitsuko's Napolitan,
Hoshino Mitsuko's seaweed potato beans,
Hoshino Mitsuko's special thick omelette!
I've made so many types of delicious food!
The Happy School Lunch features the most well-received dish...
served last semester.
You weren't here yet, so there's nothing we can do.
We're serving pizza toast and corn pottage today.
They're both the most popular dishes from Araki-san.
They would have been so much more tasty if they had been my dishes.
You do them then.
Very well!
Everyone will be shocked because they'll be so delicious.
They'll start singing "Mayim Mayim" after lunch.
What does she mean?
Don't ask me.
If I were you, I would start on the sauce of the pizza toast.
The pizza sauce?
Yes. Cook the tomatoes thoroughly to eliminate their sourness...
and highlight their freshness to the maximum.
We'll need to use three types of cheeses.
And when you spray some water on the dough when you bake them,
they'll become very soft. It's going to be the best.
How will you make the corn pottage?
Add white Miso to elicit a sweetness and fragrance to it.
A combination of Miso and dairy is the best!
This master shall touch up your imperfect menu.
Again?
This person becomes very annoying when she gets carried away.
It seems like the kids' favourite dishes are going to be even tastier.
What? Araki-san is very popular?
Yes. His fans even sent letters for him to the TV station.
Why is this person popular?
We have 55 letters for you.
"Although he looks scary, he's very reliable."
"Although he looks scary, he's very serious with his work."
"Although he looks scary, he's actually very gentle."
Housewives fall for the contrast between your look and character.
You're smiling.
No, I'm not.
How about the next one?
Next is the cute and popular Haru-chan!
I'm kidding.
We thought it would be her, but this person is more popular.
Someone who received 21 letters. It's Komatsu-san!
Really?
Why Minoru?
He has absolute popularity among kids under the age of three.
- Kids under the age of three? - Yes. A mother wrote in her letter,
"My child said he's as cute as Kumamon,"
"as cute as Doraemon," "and as cute as Totoro."
They're looking at him like a mascot.
He's very happy about it though.
I'm like Katsuo in "Sazae-san". They would like to pat me.
- Like this? - Don't do that!
- How about the next one? - The next one...
received 12 letters. The person who received 12 letters is...
Inohara-san!
- What? - Congratulations!
One person wrote, "The way she eats..."
"has always encouraged me."
They even sent me a box of oranges.
I must work harder to fulfil their expectations.
The next one!
The next person received eight letters.
The person who received eight letters is Baba-san!
- It's me! - To Baba-san,
someone wrote, "Are you going to the 31st Year end SG Grand Prix..."
"and Premium G1 Queen's Climax?"
I might even make some gambling friends.
What about me?
And the person who received the most fan letters is...
My goodness.
It's Chef Hoshino!
Of course it's me.
- You received 128 letters. - Amazing.
This is really amazing.
You're the most popular among all of them.
Someone wrote, "I'd really like to try Chef Hoshino's school lunch."
"I hope you return to a three-star restaurant soon." You're so popular!
What about me?
There's no letter at all for Hidaka-san.
What?
Instead, some people sent letters to criticise you.
What's going on here?
His sunglasses are weird. His wink is disgusting.
His collars are too high. His sleeves are too much. He's lewd.
You shouldn't act so frivolous.
Who are you to look down on me?
The target audience of our programme are housewives,
so this feedback isn't unexpected.
- I can't accept this. - What about me?
All right. Stop chit-chatting. Let's get to work!
Today is the day of the Happy School Lunch. Let's work hard!
I can't accept this!
All right. Let's work hard!
- What about me? - Yes?
- What? - Let's go.
What about me?
Really?
Yaguchi-kun!
Thank you for your hard work.
"The Star of School Lunch" is doing very well.
It's all thanks to you.
I know you well. You must have...
I know you well.
You must already have come up with the next story line.
Yes. A big event is coming up.
A big event?
"The Red Star Guide",
published by a world-renowned cooking magazine,
will announce their ranking of restaurants at the end of the year.
A restaurant review?
The public is very interested if La Cuisine de La reine,
which has received three stars three years in a row,
will keep its ranking this year.
I see.
So what's...
What? What's the expected outcome?
I think they'll be able to fulfil four out of five review standards.
What about the last one?
Hoshino Mitsuko isn't working there anymore after all.
Are you saying it'll be difficult for them to get three stars?
If they don't get three stars this time,
people might think it's because Hoshino Mitsuko isn't there anymore.
Sorry.
Wait. I'm not going this way.
The restaurant review of "The Red Star Guide" will begin soon.
Are we going to introduce the dish we discussed before?
If you agree, I'll try making it.
You've always cared about Hoshino Mitsuko, haven't you?
I think you can't forget Hoshino Mitsuko's cuisine.
Hoshino Mitsuko has a great influence on you, doesn't she?
Sir?
(THREE-ARTEFACT TURTLE PIE)
Please try making it. I'm counting on you.
Yes, Sir.
(THREE HOURS AND 20 MINUTES TO SCHOOL LUNCH)
All right. I'm going to make the best Happy School Lunch ever.
- Wait... - The water!
The water!
- The water! - I got it.
- The water! - I got it already.
Her name is Hoshino Mitsuko.
This genius chef is getting ready to make the best Happy School Lunch.
However, an unexpected problem is awaiting her.
Let's listen to the orchestra of teamwork tonight.
CHEF: THREE STAR SCHOOL LUNCH Episode 8
Subtitles by VIU
Ripped and synced by gabbyu @ Subscene
- What's wrong? - The water is brown.
Miss, look!
What do we do, Miss?
We can't drink the water.
Headmistress!
What's the matter? Don't run!
Headmistress, we have a problem! The water is brown in colour.
- Pardon? - It's brown!
Headmistress!
Don't run!
What do we do? The water is brown in colour!
- Even in the kitchen? - Yes.
Headmistress!
Don't run!
The water supply in the whole school is brown and murky.
I'll contact the fire station...
and ask them to send a water supply vehicle.
I'll ask the water supply company to run a water quality test.
- Don't run! - Don't run!
(UNDER INVESTIGATION. DO NOT USE)
(TWO HOURS AND 30 MINUTES TO SCHOOL LUNCH)
It says "do not use".
Really?
(UNDER INVESTIGATION. DO NOT USE)
Please stop walking to and from like that.
You're not a lion trapped in a cage.
Who's a lion? I can't breathe!
So what about the Happy School Lunch?
We can't even wash the vegetables without water.
We can't make the corn pottage too.
- I can't wash the car too. - That has nothing to do with us.
- I can't sumo wrestle too. - You still can do that.
Yes, Ma'am.
Araki-san!
So? What happened?
The water supply company's test results is out.
They've detected rust in the water supply.
Rust? How?
It could be due to the pipe laying...
in front of the school gate last night.
The pipes were pressurised and the rust inside the old pipes...
loosened and got into the water.
So when can we use the water again?
We can't use it.
At least not today.
What about today's school lunch then?
Everyone!
- The water supply truck is here! - The water supply truck is here!
All right! Stop here.
I apologise for keeping you waiting.
The water supply in all areas around the school is contaminated by rust,
so we can only provide 200 litres of water to you.
At least we have enough drinking water for the kids,
but it's not enough to prepare the school lunch.
We can't make a school lunch with the remaining water.
This is an emergency,
so we'll have the kids go home after the morning classes.
Understood.
We're not serving lunch today.
Why not?
We're serving the Happy School Lunch today, aren't we?
How are we going to make a school lunch without water?
(WATER SUPPLY VEHICLE)
(INSPECTION ROOM)
Everyone, we apologise as we can't serve the school lunch today.
- What? - What?
Aren't we having the Happy School Lunch today?
Why?
You're not serving it?
I was so looking forward to it.
What about the pizza toast?
We won't be having the corn pottage too?
We'll make the Happy School Lunch for you another time.
They're not serving the Happy School Lunch?
The water supply is contaminated...
by rust due to some pipe work. The water can't be used.
Kids are usually very happy when classes are cancelled,
but they're very upset today.
I guess they're really looking forward to the Happy School Lunch.
I'm going to La reine now.
You stay there and see how it goes.
Why? They're not serving a school lunch today.
Will Hoshino Mitsuko just give up?
Even though she doesn't want to...
We'll serve the school lunch.
Chef Hoshino.
It's okay.
The customers are waiting, so we must serve them.
Hey, the water can't be used.
That won't stop us from serving the school lunch.
What do you mean by that?
What do you plan to do?
The answer is very simple.
Just make the school lunch without water.
Make the school lunch without water?
We'll use this.
Milk?
What do you plan to do?
We'll use this.
- Milk? - Yes. Milk.
Those are for the kids.
If you use it for the school lunch, there won't be enough for the kids.
Wait. Let's do this.
Someone will buy more from markets while we're making lunch.
If it goes over the budget, we'll adjust the budget later.
If we go now, we can buy enough milk before we finish making lunch.
Buy those in one-litre packs and distribute them in paper cups.
The problem is what are we going to make with milk?
Can we make something that can replace pizza toast?
Yes! We'll make the best dish that can only be made with milk.
Milk French toast!
We'll make it with toast, milk, sugar and honey.
- That sounds delicious! - It sounds trendy somehow.
I've never tried it before.
I don't know why, but I feel like eating it.
I'm craving for it!
Araki-san, I'm sure the kids will love it.
We've never made that for school lunch.
Today is a good opportunity for that.
But what about the corn pottage?
Wait. We'll just use milk.
Hey! How about white cream gratin?
We can use the cheeses we prepared for the pizza toast.
My goodness. What happened to you?
You're flexible now. A good master has good students indeed.
What are you talking about? You should be the student.
What?
You're still an amateur at school lunches.
Who's an amateur? What are you talking about?
- What are you talking about? - What are you talking about?
Stop! You're too noisy!
You're not young anymore. Don't quarrel at this time.
- Sorry. - Sorry.
Haru-chan, you're amazing!
How about coleslaw?
Even if we have enough water to wash the vegetables,
we don't have enough to boil them.
If we can't boil them in water, we'll fry them.
I see!
How about tropical jelly for dessert?
We can't make jelly without water.
Let's give that up.
No, the vitamin quota won't be reached if we don't serve that.
How about we replace the dessert with fruits?
But we need to wash the fruits.
Oranges.
- Oranges! - Oranges!
But according to the rules, we must wash the oranges too!
It's okay.
- Headmistress! - This is an emergency.
I'll report to the committee. You don't have to wash them.
Headmistress, thank you!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Hey, we need to buy 300 oranges. How should we do this?
And we must make sure they are of the same size.
Hey, the market is still open.
I'll call the suppliers I'm familiar with!
We'll have to drive there or else we won't make it in time.
- A car! - A car?
What?
Hidaka-san, you came in a sports car, didn't you?
No way.
Ryoko-chan wants me to wash her car.
She'll be mad if she finds out I used it to transport goods.
She'll lock me up and dump me.
Sudo-chan!
Haru-chan, you're calling me Sudo-chan too?
Come closer!
Hidaka-san, will you do this or not?
You want fan letters, don't you?
I'm Masataka. Hidaka Masataka.
I'll accomplish my mission for the kids...
with my superb driving skills!
All right!
Komatsu-san, you go buy the milk.
Buy 65 one-litre packs.
- Me? - Hurry!
I'll do it.
Haru-chan is becoming more and more like that woman.
But I'll work hard.
All right! The menu has been decided!
Let's start cooking. Let's go!
Yes, Sir!
(ONE HOUR AND 45 MINUTES TO SCHOOL LUNCH)
I asked them for more water to wash the vegetables.
All right. Thank you very much.
- All right. Okay. - There we go.
All right. Next! Put the camera down first!
Cut them into bigger chunks so that they taste better.
Hey, hurry up!
We're one and a half hours behind schedule,
and Hidaka and Komatsu aren't around,
so we must hurry up to make up for the lost time.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
I'm running out of cabbage!
Cut them up for me.
Yes, Sir.
- Come help out! - All right!
What are you doing? Get to work!
Pardon?
Why did they only have 10 packs?
On to the next shop.
I've brought more onions!
Thank you.
What are you doing? Come help out! There's milk over there.
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
When you're done, prepare the ingredients for the gratin.
Yes, Ma'am!
- Bring me a stainless steel bowl. - Yes, Ma'am!
- Cut faster. - Yes, Ma'am!
All right. Don't panic but act faster.
Don't panic but act faster? That's tough.
There's no time to complain.
Wait. I have a good idea.
It'll become more delicious if we add white Miso to the gratin sauce.
And since it's a dairy product, they're very compatible.
- Bring it to me. - Yes, Ma'am.
Wait! I have another good idea.
Cut the onions along their fibres...
so that the sweetness is richer and they taste softer.
Yes, Ma'am.
Wait! I have another good idea.
We'll sprinkle bread crumbs at the end to improve its flavour.
Place some bread into the food processor.
Yes, Ma'am.
Wait!
Please don't come up with any more good ideas!
I apologise.
Just do it. Work harder!
Why am I looking for oranges here and there?
The answer will be revealed at CNB TV's morning programme.
Stay tuned for "The Star of School Lunch".
You're creepy.
Don't be like that.
What's your name?
Who's calling?
Ryoko-chan?
Hello? Ryoko-chan.
No problem.
Wash your beloved car, right? No problem.
I'll wax it too.
You like a citrus fragrance, don't you?
What? Oranges? Really?
I apologise for keeping you waiting.
- Thank you. - Okay.
Why are you in a daze? Isn't it obvious?
Here's the white wine.
Thank you.
When we add this, it'll produce a more elegant fragrance.
Sprinkle some white sugar on it for flavour at the end...
so that the outermost layer will taste sweet too.
It sounds really delicious.
Although I'd love to serve great food to the kids...
It's okay to be concerned about the taste, but will we be on time?
We will make it on time! Bring me the cooking wine!
Calm down and hurry up.
Here's the cooking wine.
I'm running out of time.
On to the next shop.
There are some changes to the Happy School Lunch today.
As the water can't be used, they're using milk instead.
The new menu is...
milk French toast and white cream gratin!
I've never tried milk French toast before!
What does it taste like?
It sounds trendy somehow.
I'm looking forward to the gratin too.
They're making it with milk.
Yes. It sounds delicious.
10 more packs.
All right. On to the next shop.
Six more boxes to go.
Hey, aren't you going to lend me a hand?
I'm rooting for you.
That sounds good too.
You're cold-hearted. That's pretty cool.
All right!
Hoshino Mitsuko is really an incredible person.
There's a water supply interruption at Mitsuba Elementary School.
And it's completely understandable...
if they can't serve a school lunch without water.
But she managed to come up with a menu by replacing water with milk.
Why are you here today?
You cast out the genius chef, Hoshino Mitsuko,
don't you feel any regrets about it?
Regrets?
Please stop joking.
The restaurant review is going to begin soon.
The criteria include freshness, safety of ingredients, flavour,
cost performance, restaurant atmosphere including the service,
and the originality of dishes.
You'll only receive three stars if you excel in all five criteria.
The originality of dishes examines...
your restaurant's ability to serve unique dishes.
This is an obstacle you must overcome.
You might not face any difficulty fulfilling the other standards.
But the lobster dish created by Hoshino Mitsuko last year...
was complimented all over the world.
Without Chef Hoshino, will you be able to retain your three stars?
This is a challenge facing La Cuisine de La reine.
Will you allow our programme to follow your progress?
Everyone in Japan... No, the whole world is interested in it.
Please do come film us.
We'll definitely retain our three stars.
I'm looking forward to it. Please excuse me now.
(ORIGINALITY OF THE DISHES)
Five more packs.
(30 MINUTES TO SCHOOL LUNCH)
It'll be done in 10 minutes.
Yes, Sir.
- There's too little cheese. - I apologise.
This too!
Although we're running out of time, we can't cut corners!
I'm sorry!
I wonder if they managed to get all the milk and oranges.
I'm at my limit.
All right.
Why didn't you just park your car over here?
You're right. I should have parked on this side.
I'm exhausted.
Hey, won't milk French toast...
taste even better if we add frozen blueberries to it at the end?
- Again? - Since we're doing that,
why don't we add blueberry jam cooked with icing sugar?
I'm sure the kids will love it.
You are indeed her daughter.
Be careful.
- White cream gratin is delicious! - White cream gratin is delicious!
- White cream gratin is the best! - White cream gratin is the best!
- Finally! - Yes!
They're making it with milk.
Uehara Nozomi of Class 5-1 is allergic to milk.
She can't eat the milk French toast...
and white cream gratin since they are made with milk.
That's right.
She's the only one who can't eat any of it.
She was really looking forward to the Happy School Lunch.
Although we improved it to this superb menu,
she's the only one who can't have any of it.
This is an emergency. I'm sure she'll understand.
You're right.
That's right.
Ask her what her favourite bread and snacks are and buy her those.
No. We can't let her eat bread bought from the outside.
I won't let my customers eat food made by others!
But there's nothing we can do about it.
That's not true.
Even if one has food allergies, they're all my precious customers.
I make the best cuisine...
for all my customers!
It's 11:35 AM!
- What are you going to do? - There's only 30 minutes left.
We won't make it in time.
We can only buy her favourite food for her!
I'm back with the milk!
I bought 65 packs of milk!
It's Komatsu-san!
It's okay. I'll go check on him. You guys continue.
My goodness. I can't stand her.
Hey! Here's the milk!
There's no need to thank me.
Fresh milk?
Please pass through.
What's wrong with that woman?
She just doesn't know when to stop.
How much time do we have left?
We have 20 more minutes.
We're running out of time. Hurry!
Yes, Sir!
Which one is Uehara Nozomi of Class 5-1?
Excuse me.
In 1985, as the leader of all samurai, Yoritomo...
- Which one is she? - That one.
- How do you know that? - She's very cute.
You're disgusting.
Ouch. My nose. It hurts.
- Excuse me. - Hey. Move aside.
I'm exhausted.
- The gratin is done! - Got it!
Okay.
All right.
- Okay. - Next.
- Here! - Okay. Done.
- Next! - Coming!
- Here. - Thank you.
Okay!
I somehow made it in time.
Minoru, we're running out of time!
You don't know how much I've cycled.
Don't just lie there. Don't be lazy.
What did you say? Idiot!
I'm exhausted.
- Thank you for your hard work. - Is the school lunch ready?
Not yet.
Why isn't it ready yet?
It's a long story.
My goodness.
All right.
Hey, come help me out!
Do it yourself!
What? What did you say?
All right. Come on.
All right. I got it!
Okay.
Komatsu, thank you for your hard work.
Araki-san, this is okay.
All right!
Haru-chan, can you...
Haru-chan, can you bring me a drink? Anything will do.
Here's the fresh soy milk you asked for.
Thank you!
Soy milk is made from soybeans, so this will be okay for her.
Soy milk French toast and soy milk gratin.
She can have the same food as the other kids.
You're smart to replace milk with soy milk.
Normal soy milk won't do though. It must be fresh!
Welcome!
Soy milk.
Soy milk doesn't taste as rich as milk.
If we want to make the best cuisine with soy milk,
we must use rich soy milk.
Come take it!
Yes, Sir.
(BEAN CURD. LUNCH BOXES. BEAN CURD DOUGHNUTS. RICE CAKE SOUP)
These people are amazing.
Sudo-chan, bring me a glass of water.
Sure.
Water...
All right. Let's go to the kitchen!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
Sudo-chan, water...
Here are the ingredients for the French toast.
Baked at one minute at 75 degrees. The toasts are done. Next!
Yes, Sir!
- Hurry! Come on! - All right!
We're running out of time!
Okay! Everything is done except the one for Uehara Nozomi!
All right!
We're running out of time, right? I'll inspect the food here.
- I'm counting on you! - I'm counting on you!
Hey, get ready for the food inspection!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
There's no time left.
We still have some additional time.
Distribute the food to the other students first.
Okay!
We'll distribute the food once the headmistress inspects it!
Baba, hurry!
- Here you go! - All right. I got it!
- Here you go! - Okay!
Three more!
Here you go!
Okay. Thank you!
Here!
All right!
Hey! Don't run!
Run!
- Run! - Run!
Everyone, the school lunch is here!
- Yes! - Yes!
Amazing!
All right!
- Please give me one! - Queue up!
Please give me one.
Here you go.
Here!
It looks so delicious.
Amazing! I'm looking forward to it.
It's sweet and fragrant.
Hey. Where's Nozomi-chan's?
I apologise... I apologise for keeping you waiting.
I apologise for keeping you waiting.
Here's your French toast and gratin.
But...
It's okay. It's made with soy milk.
Thank you very much.
What's going on?
Do you need to ask? This is the climax.
All right. Nozomi-chan is now seated too.
Everyone, please be seated.
It smells so good!
I wonder how it tastes.
- I'm looking forward to it. - I want to eat it right now.
It looks so tasty!
I want to eat it right now.
Try not to finish it if you can.
This is the Happy School Lunch.
Well then, let's enjoy the meal!
I'll enjoy the meal!
Enjoy your meal!
It's incredible! It's so delicious!
- It's delicious. - It's really delicious.
This is my first time eating something like this!
Delicious. It's really delicious!
It's even more delicious than pizza toast.
It's so delicious!
Thank goodness!
It's delicious!
It's the best!
How is it?
- It's the best! - It's the best!
That's good.
Hey, Minoru. Here's some milk.
Is this soy milk?
I think this is my first time drinking this. It's tasty.
Hey, everyone.
What are you going to vote for the next Happy School Lunch?
Napolitan!
Potato beans!
Potato beans? Napolitan?
Butter grilled shark!
That's nice. Shark.
She's even happier than the kids.
She replaced pizza toast with milk French toast,
and corn pottage with cream gratin.
She's really good at coming up with replacements at the last second.
Indeed. She was full of ideas when she's cooking.
Hoshino Mitsuko's dishes are full of originality.
- How is it? - It's the best!
Glad to hear that.
Enjoy your meal!
- Yes, Ma'am! - Yes, Ma'am!
This is the new dish made from Chef Hoshino's unpublished recipe.
With this,
we should be able to fulfill The Red Star Guide's criteria of...
originality of dishes.
This is Three-Artefact Turtle Pie.
Very good. Superb. It's perfect.
Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
I'd like to take some more time to taste it.
Please excuse me.
I apologise for making you wait. Here you go.
- You got some for us too? - Yes.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much!
- Here, Hidaka-san. - Okay. Thank you.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Yes.
Okay. Got it.
Okay. Please excuse me now.
Hey! They'll resume the work on the pipes tonight.
We'll be able to use the water tomorrow.
Glad to hear that!
I'd collapse if we had to do this again tomorrow.
I also forgot to wash Ryoko-chan's car.
But I don't have the energy to wash it now.
My whole body hurts.
This is tougher than practising sumo wrestling.
I have no energy to watch evening rowing.
I lost my appetite.
That's because you ate too much.
It's been a long day.
Excuse me.
Yes? What's the matter?
Thank you very much for today.
I'm happy I got to eat the same food as the others.
I see.
And...
it was the best!
Did you call me?
Bye!
- Bye. - Bye.
The kid said she was happy.
She said it was the best.
Her gratitude delivered warmth to my exhausted body.
And she said she liked me very much.
She didn't say that.
That's right.
My body feels okay now.
I also gained the energy to buy season tickets...
for Gamagori Youth rowing.
My appetite is back too.
I guess I'll go wash the car.
Okay. The time for kids is over. It's now time for adults.
You're still operating your stall today?
Of course.
My customers are waiting for me.
What kind of duck confit should I make today?
- Thank you for your hard work! - Thank you for your hard work.
What's wrong with that woman?
She's a lunatic.
A cooking lunatic.
We're also lunatics for letting her boss us around.
But without that cooking lunatic,
we wouldn't have been able to serve a school lunch today.
She won't give up no matter what happens.
I thought we would have to serve bread as the last resort.
But she didn't give up.
I wished she had given up though.
Why are we always talking about that person?
That woman is always causing us trouble.
Indeed.
But that person is superb.
I'm sure she'll be awarded three stars for her cooking again.
Hoshino Mitsuko... Three stars...
Even her name sounds like "three stars". Goodness!
We knew that since the start.
We realised it when we first met.
Really?
Araki-san...
Her name sounds like "three stars".
Dairy products might be able to heighten the taste of duck confit!
Ouch!
- We apologise! - We apologise!
- Aunty! - Aunty!
I just can't avoid it!
I just can't avoid being hit on the head!
Hey. So how was it?
You played against a strong team, didn't you?
We lost.
An absolute loss at seven to zero.
They totally beat us.
I didn't even touch the ball once.
What? And you don't feel bad at all?
Did you do your best until the end?
A match isn't over until the whistle is blown.
In 1999, at the finals of Euro Champions League,
Manchester United was still zero to one...
against Bayern at the 90th minute.
But they managed to score two goals during additional time and won!
They created a miracle at Camp Nou!
A match isn't over when the time is up.
It's over when you give up.
She's going to kick it again!
She can even do a flying kick!
I can't reach it!
You can count on me!
I can do it!
Nice interception!
I knew you could do it!
- Let's practise! - Let's practise in the morning too.
I don't want to lose!
Let's practise!
I forgot the idea I just had!
All right.
Imperfect.
I think you can't forget Hoshino Mitsuko's cuisine.
Imperfect!
Okudera?
(ON THE NEXT EPISODE) They're handing the school lunch over to a school lunch provider.
We're not making it anymore?
The four of us will be unemployed.
If you confront your feelings honestly,
you can overcome any big obstacle!
No one can replace her.
Celery had the highest leftover rate!
I must revive celery's reputation.
I didn't expect you all to be this useless, Useless Army!
Mitsuko-san seems to be having a good time.
Did the process of making school lunches become fun?
Chef Hoshino's school lunch career will end soon.
Make the best school lunch with everyone here.
I want to make school lunches with all of you.
