The King of Manahira Kingdom, King Gobudora Beredo III, has finally arrived today.
This the king's first time in Japan...
with his Japanese queen and 7 princesses.
The Kingdom of Manahira Kingdom has maintained...
a good relationship with Japan until now.
This time, King Gobudora is taking a tough stance...
on the relationship with Japan.
The future direction is uncertain.
Why?
Please don't shout so suddenly!
This is too strange!
He's the type of person that appears in major newspapers.
Why did he choose this small hotel... ah.
General Manager, I was saying it in a humble way.
But, it certainly is strange.
Why would an important person choose this place?
Is this a mistake?
People from the government called, and advised us...
not to cause any embarrassment.
I thought kings only exist in fairy tales.
Because most people don't have the chance to meet one.
It's time for my bed-making skills to be tested by the world.
It's not the time to be chatting happily!
Look, it's reported that...
the king is not in a good mood.
If we make him angry...
and causes the diplomatic relations to be severed...
the whole country will hate us!
- (Kozue) You're exaggerating. - I'm not exaggerating!
It's the instinct of a hated person.
He's starting to realize that he's being hated.
But, his personality is still the same.
The 7 princesses are in dispute...
over the succession to the throne.
The king's tough attitude may be related to that.
This is the first time you've spoken in a general meeting.
You have a wide information network.
I saw that on the Internet.
If he comes here in that condition...
we'll be in a risky situation.
It's a big chance! General Manager.
In this morning's newspaper, Hotel Grande Inversao...
was mentioned 17 times.
It's a big chance to make this hotel more well known.
I was talking about the risk of getting a bad reputation.
Ah, it's almost time.
General Manager, Tokisada-san. Please welcome them.
I understand.
Deputy Manager! Can you change your clothes just for today?
- And greet the king properly. - (Tanzawa) Turn around.
- Are you listening? - (Tanzawa) Calm down!
Welcome to the Hotel Grande Inversao.
Thank you for coming.
It's an honor to meet you.
Please let me carry.
(Nadia) Um... we.
Eh? Japanese?
(Nina) Our mother is a Japanese. It's normal for us to speak Japanese.
(Johanna) We speak Japanese at home too.
Japanese language is cute.
I am sorry.
Well, I'll show you the way.
This is the front desk.
You can contact them if you need anything.
Excuse me. Where is the king and the queen?
They are staying at another hotel.
- Huh? - (Nadia) But...
he said we must stay here.
Is that so? I understand.
(Irene) Well...
I have a request.
It is here.
We can also prepare a room for each of you.
It's fine. We'll stay together.
As long as it's not the same room as them.
(Nina) It's hard to breathe when Irene and the others are around.
Is there anything you need?
Well, prepare a good looking staff.
What?
Is this room okay?
Yes. Thank you.
We have larger rooms.
(Nadia) It's fine. I feel calmer in a small room.
I'll put the key here.
I'm sorry.
My older sisters don't get along.
They need to be separated into different rooms.
I'm looking forward to tonight.
Why?
We came here because we heard from our father.
He wanted us to experience the unforgettable dinner.
Unforgettable dinner.
(Today's target - Don't be hated by the king)
Finally, the 7 princesses has arrived.
We must not become the criminals of this country.
What's this? Investigation meeting?
Manahira's king and queen are not coming here?
They're staying at a hotel prepared by the government.
Only the 7 princesses are staying here.
But there's a problem... Pierre!
Yes.
They don't get along because of the throne succession problem...
and they're staying in different rooms.
Eldest daughter Irene-sama, 3rd daughter Sara-sama, 5th daughter Constance-sama are...
in Por do sol Suite.
2nd daughter Nina-sama, 4th daughter Johanna-sama, 6th daughter Roxanne-sama are...
in Gallo Suite.
Then, 7th daughter Nadia-sama is staying in Room 202.
Apparently, the issue is whether eldest daughter Irene-sama...
or 2nd daughter Nina-sama should inherit the throne.
The 2 groups are staying in...
- 2 different rooms. - You know a lot.
I saw it on the Internet.
So, I can't meet the king.
The princesses look a lot like Japanese.
The people of Manahira are saying that the...
- Japanese queen has stronger genes. - Internet?
- Internet. - Internet again.
Focus! The ones on the eldest daughter's side...
are serious and seem like hard to please.
The ones on the 2nd daughter's side like good-looking guys...
they seem quite uninhibited.
Maybe they don't get along because of the difference in character?
- I don't think so. - Old-timers, quiet!
The biggest mystery is...
the king wants the princesses...
to stay at Inversao by all means.
I heard from Nadia-sama...
they want to experience the unforgettable dinner.
Unforgettable dinner?
This means Manahira's king...
has been to this place before?
From the time I started working here, I've not seen him.
I've not seen him either.
I've never heard about it from my father.
Alright, let's check the old letters!
Let's do that!
First, do our best to fulfill their requests.
So, I will your assign your jobs now.
The meticulous guests in Por do sol Suite...
Edagawa-san is the chief...
Naomi-san, Yuko-san and Otawara-san will follow-up.
Then, the ones interested in good-looking guys...
Tokisada-san is the chief, Chokichi-san, Pierre-san...
- Hattori-san will follow-up. - Good looking?
- Are we forming teams? - Yes.
General Manager will take care of the 7th daughter, Nadia-sama...
if there's anything, Tanzawa-san and I will follow-up.
Yes.
Then, Haru-san and Eguchi-san...
come up with the unforgettable dinner.
Yes!
Today's guests are 7 princesses.
Let this hotel... no, this country...
give them the best memories!
Inversao's all-out battle!
You took all the nice words.
No information at all about Manahira's king.
Confidential as expected...
they did not send any information.
Then, Haru-chan the genius and Eguchi-san...
Egu-Haru combination will do it on our own...
the unforgettable dinner.
Don't come up with a combination name like that.
Well, if it was unforgettable...
it must've been very special.
Whatever we make will be special!
This time, we are in charge of the kitchen.
It's exciting, Eguchi-san!
I respect your optimism.
What do mean?
Just like Tokisada-san said...
we must not fail this time.
Rather than excitement...
now I'm feeling the tension.
Eguchi-san.
You've said your true feelings...
because you agree with me?
Sorry, I'm taking back my respect for you.
Sorry. Did you ask for me?
(Sara) Irene sis said the bed is not properly made.
I am sorry.
Specifically, how do you want it to be.
Thank you for waiting.
The good-looking guy is here!
(Johanna) What's your name?
- I am Hattori - A bit glum but cool.
Why are you so cool?
We want a big TV.
Can you bring it here?
Certainly.
What happened?
Sorry. I want to have a look at the restaurant.
Ah... I see.
It's a great restaurant. I like it very much.
You're so cute!
Truly a princess!
The number 1 most desired occupation for little girls!
I really like cute people.
There are many cute people in this hotel...
General Manager is very cute...
Edagawa-san is a beauty, and cute too...
Yuko-chan is serious and cute.
Ah, and that Naomi-san...
likes Chokichi-san very much, she's cute too.
You're a chef?
You're very cute!
Really? Thank you!
This feels so good.
Thank you!
We should be about the same age.
But you're a princess... it's great.
No, my father is great. I'm just his daughter.
Do you know when did your father come here before?
Was it for the unforgettable dinner?
I'm still thinking what it is.
You don't know?
Sorry!
But it's okay. Everyone is checking now...
I will prepare it properly.
Nadia-sama, you are here.
Sorry. I'm chatting with her.
I heard nobody knows about the dinner my father had here.
General Manager, sorry!
It's alright.
I can help if you don't know.
My father came here because...
a friend he knew from overseas worked here.
He came here with my mother.
I see.
He said he can't forget...
the dinner he had with my mother but...
he didn't say what he ate.
Is this exciting?
- No. - I see.
So, you were asked to make the bed?
Yes.
Strange... I did it properly!
Maybe my bed-making skills have not reached international level.
What else did she say?
No. She just glared at me.
What to do about the TV?
We have to prepare one and bring it to them.
It was a request from the princess.
Hattori could end up marrying into the royal family.
What happened? Everyone is in a bad mood.
Because of you!
Don't just look at the picture. Is there any clue?
You went to the room...
we need your information.
Otawara-san, did you fall in love?
Huh? Really?
- Who? - Which one?
No... that...
Eldest daughter, Irene-sama?
- Irene-sama! - Irene.
No, this is not the time to talk about this.
Any information about the bed-making request?
No, but we discovered the real Beauty and the Beast.
Beauty and the Beast?
You can be proud... you're the focus of their attention.
I don't want it that way.
I'm always like this.
Because of my height and good looks...
I was envied by others since my school days.
- Why are you saying this? - This makes us more angry.
Then I decided to be unnoticeable but it was awkward...
I heard lots of information and was hated...
So, that was how your information network was built.
Hattori-san, you don't look well. Are you alright?
Why are we talking about our troubles!?
I heard the story over there just now...
Otawara fell in love!? That's not important!!
If anything goes wrong, we'll become the criminals of this country.
Quickly make the bed and bring them the TV!
Tokisada-san sometimes says decent things.
Yes?
(Pierre) He was still grumbling just now.
Go quickly!
Huh?
What happened?
Please tell the General Manager.
Irene-sama and the others want to go back!
Irene-sama, are you leaving?
Yes. The air here is bad.
We are going to prepare your bed now.
Forget it. The bed was already properly made.
But.
(Nadia) What happened, sis?
I'm going back.
What a coincidence. We're also going back now.
Huh?
What? You think it's dangerous if I'm back at father's place?
No! Where you stay is irrelevant to me.
You're all going back?
I heard it from him.
If we go back before the unforgettable dinner...
he'll be disappointed.
No problem. We're not obliged to do that.
That's right!
Yup, he just said that on a whim.
Let's go.
Enough already!
One of you are going to inherit the throne...
acting this way is troublesome!
There's always a reason to what father says.
There must be a reason why he wanted us to stay here.
Just as Nadia-sama said...
you still haven't experienced the excellence of this hotel...
can you stay for just a bit longer?
Right?
Yes.
I hope all of you can remain here.
Thank you for telling me what happened here.
Don't mention it.
(Nadia) So, who are you?
I am this hotel's...
gardener.
I understand. They'll continue to stay here.
So, we still have to prepare the unforgettable dinner.
It's a big responsibility. The princesses are treating this...
dinner very seriously.
This time we don't even have a clue.
- Hey, please get some information. - We are testing the dishes here...
- inform us when you know something. - Yes!
Ukai-san, thank you for your help just now.
No, General Manager, sorry.
I met them dressed like this.
No, you helped us.
Thanks to the 7th princess, they're still staying here...
but it's certainly going to be more difficult now.
Like the bed-making case in Por do sol...
if we can't fulfill their requests again...
we'll be in big trouble if they tell the king.
We told those in Gallo suite we'll prepare the TV...
- but they still wanted to leave. - It's a mystery.
This is a big problem!
We have to quickly improve their mood.
Something doesn't seem right.
What is it?
Must not be rude to them... must get them into a good mood...
must not be hated by them.
This is what a hotelman does?
What do you mean?
Of course there are things that we must do.
But we must also think further into the future.
- So... - Erase this?
Erase it.
Sorry for using this word again...
this is today's target!
(Today's target - Make your job exciting)
If we don't enjoy our job...
we can't help the guests create happy memories.
The princesses gave us assignments.
We should accomplish them nicely.
Imagine the smile on their faces...
isn't that exciting?
Then, how do we do it?
Everyone start thinking about that now.
After listening to everyone, something is troubling me...
the volatile Irene-sama is concerned about...
the bed-making, not the cleaning.
And although Nina-sama requested a big TV...
why did she still want to leave?
Also, this is their first time in Japan.
I'll entertain them at the bar...
go make the bed during that time.
I'll go buy the necessary things.
Otawara-san, bring the guests there after we've completed.
Certainly.
Hattori will bring the TV to them...
- about the subscription... - I'll look into that.
I'll make the phone call. I can finally use the English that I learned.
Let me know when everything is complete. I'll go to the kitchen now.
- Tanzawa, lend me your phone. - Sure!
This is delicious too, but...!
Frantically testing so many dishes may not be the right way.
How to do it?
Hattori-san?
- Do you have any information? - I'm just starting to look into it.
Why are you here then?
Ukai-san has announced today's job target...
I'm here to tell you.
Job target?
This is what he always says.
With this gesture.
(Today's target - Make your job exciting)
I see.
- Eguchi-san, I've decided! - What?
We...
let's make whatever we want to make!
Please wait here while we make the bed.
This place is uncomfortably small.
(Constance) Irene already told them not to make the bed again.
This is?
I heard papaya is Manahira's well-known product...
it was used to make this special cocktail.
It's faster to just print out the user manual!
You're annoying! Just leave it to me.
- Okay! Thank you. - This is not ordinary wiring.
- Subscription is done! - Alright!
- Chokichi, connect it! - We should get the signal now.
No signal... no signal.
- Look. - We got it!
Good job! Where's Hattori?
- I'll bring it over now. - Too near! You scared me.
Excuse me.
(Nadia) Sorry to call you again.
I brought a souvenir, but I had forgotten to give it to you.
Thank you for your kindness.
Do you know? In Indonesia...
frog is treated as the messenger of god.
The culture there is similar to my country.
I will display this properly.
How to make all the sisters get along better?
It was embarrassing to let you see us quarrel.
Actually, it is troubling me.
If everyone join hands...
the Kingdom of Manahira can become a much better place.
Do you have any good ideas?
Actually, I've been troubled by my brother for a long time.
Sorry, I'm talking about myself...
my brother is slipshod.
He annoyed many people...
and angered me many times.
But, I thought...
if we were not siblings...
we could just go separate ways...
but we can't do that because we're siblings.
Maybe that's what family is.
So, the next time we meet...
I want to hug him.
Then, maybe we can talk happily again.
I don't know how your sisters' relationship can be improved...
but I sincerely hope your feelings can reach them.
(Otawara) Excuse me.
Everyone, your room is ready.
In Manahira, there's a custom to spread lotus leaves on the bed.
I found the information and included that in the bed-making.
Why?
I heard this is the first time you are staying overseas...
so, I thought this is what Irene-sama wanted.
Sorry, we could only subscribe to the news channel, but...
you can now watch Manahira's TV broadcast.
It's normal to think of home when you're in an unfamiliar environment.
Sorry for not noticing earlier.
Hattori-kun.
Thank you.
In short, they felt lonely.
Their pride stopped them from telling us frankly.
Just like Tokisada-san.
There's no need to dig up the past.
I hope they can stay here with peace of mind now.
But, Ukai-san is really amazing.
He has very little contact with guests, but can notice the small details.
He's not listening at all.
I wonder if we can complete the unforgettable dinner.
Although it was my idea, but...
"the dish I want to make" is the most difficult question.
Myself... myself?
Fish? Meat?
Go out and clear your mind for a while.
You're a genius, right?
Then, you'll just have to wait for the inspiration.
You're the Head Chef here.
Eguchi-san.
No matter what you want to make...
you can just come back here...
I'll make the basic preparations on my own.
What are you doing?
Ah, sorry.
Is this...
a soft-shelled turtle?
It's so cute.
It really is.
It was almost cooked once, but, recently Supotaro-san...
made me feel it is cute.
You look disheartened.
I talked to the General Manager just now...
that made me think of various things.
What are you thinking?
To make all the sisters get along well...
what are the things that I can do.
In the old days, everyone smiled and played together.
They said I was bright and fun to be with.
But now...
they just make fun of me by saying that...
I don't have to think about anything.
I understand.
I don't know what you can do for them, but...
I've been told many times "Haru-chan doesn't need to think about anything"
We may look bright but we have our worries too, right?
The bright type like us are often told...
we are happy and lively.
As a result, if we have any troubles...
we try our best to hide it.
We'll be laughed at, if we reveal our troubles.
That's right.
When people say I'm happy or lively...
it actually makes me feel troubled.
I like fun things, but...
if there are only fun things...
I may end up with just an empty shell.
When I thought about that...
I suddenly shouted out.
Then, what did you do?
I searched...
for things that are special to me.
Something that I'm very good at...
something special that I really like.
At that time, my father appeared in my mind.
Your father?
A big steaming frying pan...
my father stood in front of it, with his back to me.
I said his cooking was delicious...
he said "Of course".
After that, I made my decision.
Then I thought of learning to cook and to start working quickly.
I came here as a patissier because they needed one immediately.
That's it.
That's it! The feeling I got from my fathers cooking...
is what I want others to feel.
Me too.
While I was thinking what I should do...
my father appeared in my mind.
Whenever he had a problem, he'd confidently throw out his chest...
take a deep breathe and speak out.
All of us would listen to his words attentively...
Can I go back to work?
- What? - Because of you...
I've found what I want to make.
What do you mean?
I promise you, tonight's dinner will be unforgettable.
Huh?
Power failure?
Is everyone okay?
Don't worry. I'll be here.
Sorry. There's a power failure here.
I'll bring you all to the room that has emergency lights.
Okay.
- Eguchi-san! Eguchi-san! - Hey, Haru!
What happened? Power failure?
Let's start preparing dinner!
In this condition? We can't even see the ingredients.
Because I've made a promise.
Besides, this situation...
is a big chance!
Everyone, I am sorry.
We are now trying to restore the power.
General Manager.
Sorry. We need some time to restore the power.
- What happened to our standby power supply? - It's not working too.
It takes time for the contractor to come.
Why this has to happen today!!?
Um...
What should we do?
We can't let them worry any more than this.
I'll contact a nearby hotel and request them to make preparations.
Wait... wait... wait. Please wait for a while.
If you don't mind...
please give us a little more time.
Now, this hotel's Head Chef...
is preparing dinner.
(Irene) But, this is the only room with electricity, right?
Yes, but she really wants you all to have dinner here.
Why?
She said she made a promise...
to prepare an unforgettable dinner.
Can you wait for a while?
Please.
I understand.
The other hotel will also need time to prepare.
Also...
this is father's intention.
Let's look forward to the dinner.
Is that okay?
Yes!
Thank you very much.
So, I need someone to help with the preparation.
Then, at that time, she told me.
"If I were 20 years younger...
I would've fallen for you"
Hey, I did this to help them pass the time. But there's no response.
There's a response from the lady in black.
Why don't the young girls like love stories?
You don't have to be too concerned about us.
Hold on please!
I have a good story.
- A whale... - (Tanzawa) Swallowed you, right?
Thank you for waiting.
You scared me!
We are ready. I'll show you the way.
Don't scare the princesses!
You looked pleased with his appearance this time.
I just wanted to say something.
Beautiful!
That person...!
Everyone, please have a seat.
The chef will bring out the dishes soon.
Thank you for waiting!
This is Horai family's traditional magical hot pot.
(Nina) What do you mean by magical?
Please try it first.
Looks delicious.
I've heard of hot pot before but this is my first time trying it.
What should we eat first?
Well.
It's hot!
But delicious!
(Johanna) This fish is sooo delicious!
- The soup has soaked into the vegetables. - Delicious!
How is it?
It's very delicious.
This dish has the magic to make you smile...
when shared with people you like.
When I had a bad day or was angered by someone...
no matter how hard I tried to hide it...
my father would make this hotpot dish.
Whenever I had this together with my father and mother...
I always ended up smiling.
The thing that has this magical power...
is this hot pot dish.
Why did you make this for us?
When I imagined everyone eating this...
I felt so excited.
I see.
I have something to say.
What is it?
It's about the throne.
(Johanna) During our meal? Stop that.
I don't intend to be the successor.
There is someone more suitable.
Who is that?
- Nadia. - Huh? Me?
- Please hold on! - Why are you saying this suddenly?
(Nina) I thought I was going to say that first.
Huh?
You're copying me again?
No. I really thought of that.
I just didn't tell you.
You're always copying me.
Stop it.
Please don't fight in front of this wonderful dish.
Besides...
you're putting me in a difficult situation.
I have decided.
Me too.
If I become the queen...
will everyone still be with me?
Will we still have fun and laugh together?
Will we still eat together happily?
Of course.
If that's the case, I...
will become the queen of Manahira.
I was scared.
Let's eat.
- Salmon. - This is Johanna's favorite.
Really? Someone gave me just now.
Delicious!
We have witnessed an amazing moment.
I mean...
this is too huge for me to understand.
But, everyone is smiling.
I'm truly...
a genius.
Yes.
You make it... I just eat. We'll make it together.
Nadia, you didn't get me clams.
There's still plenty.
So tired.
I'm hungry.
Thank you for staying here.
We had a wonderful day. Thank you very much.
Where's Hattori-kun?
We'll be waiting for your next visit.
(Nina) You scared me, Hattori-kun.
(Sara) What happened, sis?
Just like father, marrying a Japanese, is not bad.
(Johanna) Huh?
Will you come with me?
I'm this hotel's front desk staff.
I see.
Well, as a thank you gesture.
(Butler) Excuse me.
(Nadia) Thank you for picking us up.
Everyone, did you enjoy the unforgettable dinner?
(Nadia) Yes! We enjoyed a nice hot pot dinner.
Hot pot? The king said he had crab here.
Huh?
The queen drank more than 10 glasses...
so, it was unforgettable for him.
Huh?
It's hot!
What? Hot pot in the morning?
I got it from Haru-chan.
The taste is certainly unforgettable.
I'm thinking...
yesterday's power failure was planned by you?
No, I won't do anything that may trouble the guests.
I guess so.
I thought when we were arranging the candles...
- you would come to have a look. - Yes, I came.
- What? - But soon after that...
I went to restore the power.
Because I saw everyone working excitingly.
It was a great success.
Everyone did very well.
You did well too.
- Delicious. - I know, right?
I want some.
(TV) The dialogue with Kingdom of Manahira...
ended in a friendly manner.
(TV) When asked about his tough stance on his first day here...
he replied "Because I like Grande Inversao very much".
(TV) Grande Inversao means "great reversal" in Portuguese...
it's also the name of the hotel the princesses stayed at...
- so, maybe it is related to that. - They are promoting us!
It was reported that each of the princesses was carrying an earthen pot at the airport.
Don't get carried away!
You think our guests will increase because of this?
No! No! It's not that easy.
Old-timer, pull yourself together!
This is Hotel Grande Inversao.
(Tanzawa) Ah, you want to make a reservation.
It's starting...
Inversao's great reversal!
