02x10 - School Festival Time

[bunniefuu]

Surprise!

Teach Us Kunudon!

Hey everyone! I'm Kunudon!

Autumn is known for food, studying
and school festivals!

The prestigious Kunugigaoka
goes all out for festivals.

Return-on-investment ratio!

Your grades here can even help you
with your job hunt in the future.

That's why everyone's serious!

The Employment Ice Age!

Some students here have business skills

that would put seasoned pros to shame.

Inuzuka!

Our retail chain would love
to support you.

Kunugigaoka's school festival
is famous nationwide,

so it'll be a great advertisement
for us, if you'd use our products.

I think your talents and overall potential
are worth our investment too, Asano.

Thank you very much.

How is this middle school student
negotiating these agreements?

I'm prepared for anything.

‪I can easily kick out Class E.

TENTH PERIOD SCHOOL FESTIVAL TIME
BY MURAMATSU TAKUYA

I hear the main building is more excited
for this festival than usual.

They're curious as to what Class E
will come up with.

I heard Asano got a contract
with a restaurant.

Sounds like something he'd do.

We have to go in it to win it.

‪This battle will involve everything
‪other than assassination and grades.

Of course we don't want to lose
to Class A,

but what can we do?

Asano was right.
Customers love a good bargain.

You'll need to make something of value
at a low cost.

Well of course...

You have plenty of those!

That "value" in this Class E

is like this, or this,

or this, and this!

These ingredients are just like you.

They're hidden in the woods
and no one knows of their value!

att*ck the customers with hidden weapons?

It sure is an assassin's shop.

Go and sell your many talents
as if you're going in for the k*ll!

Welcome! Our Acorn Tsukemen
is a tsukemen made with acorns.

Try the sensational textures and flavors
of the mountains.

I'm sure this will be
a new taste experience

even for you mature gourmets.

It better be good.

Of course! They're all freshly picked!

It looks pretty decent.

The high schoolers from that trip!

What do you want?

Oh? Are you going to kidnap another girl?

We don't do that anymore.

‪I don't want to see
‪that monster teacher again.

But we can ruin it for you guys
without using v*olence.

We can go around yelling
how disgusting the food is here,

or tweet about it online.

Hurry up and serve us.

Here's our signature dish, Acorn Tsukemen.

This looks amazing!
Can I order a Mont Blanc too?

I want to try the smoked fish!

Calm down! Try to not act stupid!

It's just the product
of a child's imagination.

I'll eat one bite and spit it out.

It's delicious!

I wanted to see a bigger reaction,

but that's another food anime's specialty.

Fuwa...

Pretty good, isn't it?
I worked on it for a whole week.

The noodles are made from acorns and yam.

Since mountain vegetables
all have a strong taste,

I made tsukemen with a rich broth.
It sure was tricky.

I perfected the ultimate balance

‪using pork bones, soy sauce and acorns.

I have never tasted anything like this.

This is a miracle for Muramatsu.

Bad food is his thing.

Shut up Itona! Do some work!

Let's try the other stuff too!

A Caesar's mushroom? I've never had that.

You idiots!
Just tell them it tastes awful!

It does?

You didn't like my students' cooking?

No, no! It's super tasty!

Really? Then how about some
persimmon and loquat jello?

It's as soft as my skin.

I'll take that!

If you ordered everything on the menu,

that would make me so happy.

But I don't have money...

By the station there's an...

ATM.

We'll go withdraw!

I'll be waiting.

They've become her wallet.

Yada's working the foot of the mountain

and Bitch-sensei is at the top.

What a scary combination.

Sugaya's poster,

Okajima's photos of the food,

Hazama's menu descriptions,
and Mimura's special website.

We have what it takes
to attract customers.

It's still the first day.
The battle has just begun.

I'm spying on Class A

‪and they've attracted more customers
‪than we have.

It's our first school festival!

Asano!

Thanks for coming. I hope you enjoy it.

Plenty of events are planned by the hour.

My friends who are idols and comedians
are performing for free.

The entrance fee is 500 yen
but the food and drinks are free.

Once one side of the stage is done,
the opposite side will start.

People will come in again and again.

As their curiosity is satisfied,

their appetite will also be satisfied.

They wouldn't even want to
go to Class E's restaurant.

Now it's our turn.
Get ready while I go play a few songs.

Is there anything he can't do?

He's so perfect, it's creepy.

Even so, he's experienced defeat.

We can't brush them aside
as the End anymore.

He may be devious,

‪but I don't want to
‪see our leader lose again.

We're also chosen ones.

We can learn how to play an instrument
in between schoolwork.

Let's go support him.

-I'll have this.
-Are you here, Nagisa?

We came for you!

Sakura, Mr. Matsukata,
and everyone from the school!

I didn't know you kept in touch.

I teach her sometimes.

Since my personal private tutor
invited me,

I couldn't say no.

Good work, Nagisa.
At least we can count some more customers.

Excuse me for not being rich.

This is amazing!

It's so good, I bet it's a big hit.

Actually, it's been tough.

The food is good,

‪but the hard part has been
‪to spread the word.

You don't have to worry.

You guys have a strange power.

If your daily conduct is good,
it will reach everyone.

Thank you!

That's right, I do have confidence
in what we've done.

Now if we only could reach out
to more people.

By the way, I heard about the reason
for your long hair.

I'm sorry...

‪did I hurt your feelings
‪when I teased you,

since it wasn't even your choice...?

Not at all! I don't mind it
when you and Karma tease me.

Really?

‪I'll still try not to pick on you
‪too much though.

This carefree voice...

Nagisa!

I'm here!

Yuji!

Yuji?

The guy who fell in love with Nagisa
at that island resort?

How do you know about my school?

I researched all the guests
on that island.

And I found out about this festival
through your school's website!

I see... hey, stop! Nakamura!

This is the last time! I swear!

You just said you'd stop!

Isn't he rich?

Don't be picky
and go raise our sales average.

Go Nagisa!

‪The fate of our class now falls
‪on your serving skills.

I'm so glad I came to this festival.

I didn't expect you'd serve me.

And you want to eat with me in private?

‪I can't help but get my hopes up.

I just don't want anyone I know
to see me like this.

NAGISA: "I WANT YOU TO TRY
ALL OF MY FAVORITE DISHES."

A cue card?

I want you to try
all of my favorite items.

Sure, I'll order the entire menu
if you want me to!

That rich boy has money and an appetite!

‪Bring in the money, Nagisa!

I quit taking those strange herbs.

‪You were worried for me, after all.

I see...

Here you go.

Amazing! I'll take a picture.

I feel bad,

‪but I have to deceive him
‪to hide all of our secrets.

‪ASK HIM IF HE'D SPEND 10,000 YEN ON A DATE

Karma, that's a different job!

Karasuma, here's a gift.

This mountain is so colorful and nice.

I'd heard the Grim Reaper got you.

I was on the verge of dying,

‪but I recovered quickly due to my youth.

Alright, but hide your g*n!

That guy has a g*n!

‪I should call the police...

No, that person is...

Yoshioka from
the neighborhood hunting club.

Yoshioka? He's obviously a foreigner!

He was naturalized,
because he loves anime and stuff.

I see...

Forget about Yoshioka...

Honestly, how do you feel about me...

-Lovro...?
-That octopus invited me.

I'm glad you were alive too.

‪Go see your pupil, she was worried.

Who's that scary guy?
He can't be a normal civilian.

He's Mild Yagyuu,

‪a prominent figure
‪in the Asakusa Engei Hall.

He's a comedian?

They were just practicing a skit.

His pupil quit comedy
and became a teacher here.

This g*n is delicious!

‪I can't believe those kids made this.

It's so good
I'd eat it even if it's poisonous.

They're comedians from Asakusa!

The one eating wasabi Mont Blanc
is doing a classic Mild Yagyuu skit!

We happen to know a lot of those types...

Nagisa,

you're lying.

Because my dad's a famous celebrity,

as a child I've seen so many people
try to get on his good side.

I can tell when people are trying to
cover things up with a fake smile.

When I met you on the island,

‪you weren't the type to smile like that.

You're very observant.

It's not great.

‪It's an unwanted talent honed
‪in a deceitful environment.

You're right. I was lying.

I can't help
that I've always looked like this

‪since I was a little boy.

I've hated it.

Boy?

But I've recently learned
that even unwanted talents

can give you confidence
when used for others.

That's why I don't hate it anymore.

I'm sorry, but I'm a boy.

-There you go again.
-It's true.

-You're lying again.
-It's really true.

-Show him and he'll know!
-Show what?

Do I look like I'm lying?

Seriously?

Flaws and weaknesses can become weapons.

That's what we've learned
in this classroom

and that's the thought behind this shop.

The people here today

are connected to us because of that.

It's exciting and really fun.

But I was tricking you,
so I'll pay for your food.

It's fine. I feel stupid now.

I'm leaving.

He's leaving already?

I wanted to do a cosplay photo sh**t.

How much do you plan to make off of me?

I feel bad for Yuji...

The first day was so-so.

The sales results were posted,

but at this rate, we won't even
come close to Class A.

Hurry! We'll miss the morning broadcast.

A TV station?

What are they filming?

Only Class E is beyond here.

What is this!

Information about our shop is spreading
like crazy online!

I did some digging and found the source.

What I found was...

Norita Yuji,
the most popular food blogger right now.

He's been eating good food
since he was young,

so annoyingly enough,
his taste buds are guaranteed.

His money-squandering reviews
are really trustworthy!

Yuji...

I came across a super delicious shop
at Kunugigaoka's school festival.

I'll talk about the menu
in my next article.

It changed my perspective on life.

‪They utilized their unfavorable location

to provide plenty of local ingredients.

My friend who works at the shop told me

they change their flaws
and weaknesses into weapons.

That made me feel foolish
for always feeling somewhat guilty

for hiding behind my famous parents

and being spoiled by them.

The money they spoiled me with
can be my own w*apon.

I want to be helpful to everyone,

‪so I'll keep posting my recommendations.

First, the mountain shop
that'll change your perspective.

You can enjoy it for only one more day!

We all worked like crazy after that.

As the orders came in,

we'd go get them, cook, serve
and sell them.

Friends and acquaintances

kept stopping by, one after another.

Oh no! We're almost out of acorn noodles.

We've sold way more than we expected.

But Class A is earning much more.

Our mountain style side dishes
are a big hit too.

We can pull through with these.

We could get some more
if we go deeper into the mountain.

No, let's stop here.

But then we can't win.

That's fine.

‪If we take any more,
‪we may destroy the mountain's ecosystem.

The actions of all living things
are connected and produce fruit.

Didn't you realize

how blessed you are
to have so many connections?

People who've taught you and saved you,

those who you've burdened,
those who've burdened you,

rivals you've competed with
and helped you grow...

So today was just another lesson
after all.

Man, I wanted to win.

I'm sorry, we've sold out...

I see it was quite popular.

Mom...

Here's our last wild grape juice.
It's good.

Thank you.

Your class really is something.

I can see why you wanted to stay.

About that incident here the other day...

I saw you from behind and realized

that my son and I
are two completely different people.

And you meant it when you said
you'd graduate from me.

I hadn't realized
that you had gotten that strong.

But Nagisa,

‪will you at least stay with me
‪until you come of age?

After that, you can live however you want.

I was lucky enough to become your parent,

I want to worry about you
a little bit more.

All of the connections we make

teaches us and helps us to grow.

Why don't we make today your birthday?

Am I doing a good job passing along

the connections you gave to me?

Nagisa's mother apologized to me.

Something about a fire?

Yes, but it's all in the past.

And she also whispered to me
before she left...

What does she mean
by keeping my wig a secret?

Class A is amazing.

They b*at the high school shops.

That's Asano, for you.

But Class E is pretty amazing too.

They closed on Day Two
and they still placed 3rd.

What if they had kept on going?

Did you go eat there?

Of course I was curious, it was on TV!

I thought
Class E was supposed to be like Hell...

I'm almost envious that they're
self-sufficient in those woods.

Fungi and bacteria

decompose plants,
animal carcasses and droppings.

Plants use that to grow
and are eaten by animals.

Animal droppings are then used
by fungi and bacteria.

That's the food chain, Muramatsu.

"End-of-Term Time, Second Period."
