Manaka: Start with this! It's onion!
Kyuubey: Weren't you making a pumpkin stew?
Manaka: Yes! Pumpkin is the main ingredient!
Manaka: But if we sautee these onions until they turn a sort of amber color and add them in...
Manaka: It'll really enhance its richness!
Kyuubey: "Richness"?
Manaka: Ahh... How do I put this...
Manaka: It means that it's flavor will have a lot more depth!
Manaka: ... But...
Manaka: Without really understanding the flavors, are you really having fun just watching me cook?
Kyuubey: To start with, observing you has nothing to do with fun.
Kyuubey: It's not particularly important to me.
Kyuubey: But you're important, as a potential magical girl.
Kyuubey: Naturally, I still can't watch you around the clock.
Kyuubey: But I'd like to observe the state of things when I can.
Manaka: Jeez... You don't give up, do you...?
This is my home - the Western-style restaurant, "Walnut's!"
Ever since I was small, I've been raised in the history of this Western-style restaurant. I grew up watching my father, and his amazing cooking skills.
My father, the owner chef of the restaurant, has been cooking for a long time, and even been praised by various "celebrities."
And I... Longed to walk in his footsteps and master these flavors. I practice my cooking day and night.
Manaka: Now if we add this riiight here...
Manaka: It's done!
Manaka: Walnut's special dish: fluffy omelette rice, complete!
Kyuubey: It looks splendid.
Manaka: ... Oop.
Manaka: I just wanted to get a little bit of training in, between customers...
Kyuubey: Soup and a salad. A fish dish and a meat dish.
Kyuubey: And an omelette rice, on top of that.
Kyuubey: It's enough to feed a whole party.
Manaka: I was able to get a lot of cooking done...
Back in the day, Walnut's was a restaurant that celebrities flocked to, and it often served other high-end guests, too...
But somewhere along the way, that changed... Now, instead of celebrities, it's become a restaurant where only the odd-balls come.
Kyuubey: I was wondering, where did your father go off to?
Manaka: He went to stock up on ingredients, obviously.
Kyuubey: Even though you have no customers?
Manaka: Wha...!! You! You rude little tanuki!!
Kyuubey: I'm not a tanuki.
Manaka: I can tell that just by looking at you! I was insulting you!
Kyuubey: Manaka, make a contract with me, and become a magical girl.
Kyuubey: If you become a magical girl...
Kyuubey: With your wish, you could make this restaurant flourish.
Manaka: I'm good! I don't want to put my faith in the magic of some sketchy-looking white tanuki!
Manaka: Me and my dad...
Manaka: We're going to chase after this chance at a fresh start!
Kyuubey: Fresh start?
Kyuubey: The entrance exam for St. Lillianna Academy?
Kyuubey: What does that have to do with making this restaurant flourish?
Manaka: ... Well! Allow me to explain it to you, you clueless white tanuki!
Manaka: Prominent young women from all kinds of fields of study congregate at St. Lillianna Academy.
Manaka: It's a school with an amazing history!
Manaka: If I enroll in that school...
Manaka: I could learn to cook like a high class lady...
Manaka: And spread the name of our restaurant all over upper class society!
Manaka: ... That's the plan!
Kyuubey: I see.
Kyuubey: But considering your grades...
Kyuubey: The chances of you actually passing that entrance exam are slim.
Manaka: Hey!! Keep your snide comments to yourself!
Manaka: ... Believe me... I know...
Manaka: But...
"Father thinks that this... Is the last chance to restore our restaurant."
"And so... I want to bet on this chance."
"... Having to ask this of my own daughter... Honestly... It feels so shameful, as a father..."
"I really am sorry... To put such a heavy burden on you..."
"But... Will you go along with this last, selfish plan of mine?"
Manaka: I've never seen my father so worried...
Manaka: Somehow...
Manaka: Compared to the father that I've always watched, growing up...
Manaka: I just...
Manaka: I can't... I can't just abandon my father...
Kyuubey: Manaka...
Kyuubey: From what I saw yesterday, I didn't think you were the type to back down.
Manaka: -----!!
Manaka: Hey, if you have nothing nice to say, then you can just leave!!
Manaka: Obviously, I'm about to study for the test!
Manaka: You're in the way! Leave me alone!!
Manaka: Year 710! The splendid era of Heijokyo!
Kyuubey: Year 794. The singing bush warbler, Heiankyo.
Manaka: Wha--!! Hey, didn't I tell you to leave?!
Kyuubey: Why are you still wearing your chef's coat?
Manaka: ... The chef's coat is my uniform...
Manaka: This outfit keeps me completely motivated!
Kyuubey: Hmm, is that how it works?
Manaka: That's how it works! If we're in agreement, please leave!
Kyuubey: I understand.
Manaka: ... Phew... That distraction is finally out of the way.
Manaka: Okay! Back to studying!
Manaka: 1582! The wisdom of strawberry panties...
Manaka: ... Pfft! Pff ahaha! Uhyahaha!
Manaka: Straw... Strawberry panties!
Manaka: Hyaha... H-how lovely they must be!
Manaka: Straw... Strawberry...
Manaka: Strawberries...?!
Manaka: What if... I used strawberries instead of tomatoes in the aurora-sauce...?!
Manaka: The sweetness could bring out an even deeper flavor...!
Manaka: Oh!
Manaka: No, no...! I'm... Supposed to be focusing on studying!
Manaka: Okay! Science is up next!
Manaka: Come at me with all you've got! I'll defeat you!!
Manaka: P, for... Pudding... ding...
Manaka: アジ is silver, and you read it as... Ag...
Manaka: ... Aaah, why...?!
Manaka: Why am I plagued with the sounds of my empty stomach...?
Manaka: Hah...
Manaka: ... I can't do battle... If I'm hungry...
Manaka: Okay...!
Manaka: (First we carefully get up to a medium heat...)
Manaka: (And then... for the last step we get up to high heat.)
Manaka: Alright! It's a perfect, pretty color, like a fox's fur!
Manaka: ... Haah...
Manaka: The powdered cheese that's been blended in should start to smell really nice...
Manaka: Alright, today's sauce is exquisite!
Manaka: Golden deep-fried horse mackerel!
Manaka: And an aurora-sauce with strawberries to top it off!!
Manaka: (Now I can eat... And appraise if the dish...)
Manaka: *munch* ... *munch munch* ...
Manaka: *with her mouth full* With this, I can take on classic literature!
Kyuubey: I have no idea what you're saying.
Manaka: You're still here... ?
St. Lillianna Academy The day of the entrance exams
Manaka: (So the day has finally come...)
Manaka: Well, come at me with all you've got...!
Manaka: (This is a battle I absolutely can't lose...)
Manaka: (Here it comes!!)
Manaka: Alright... It's almost time!
Kyuubey: You're wearing your chef's coat in your bedroom again?
Manaka: I have a good reason for it, today!
Manaka: After all, today's the day I'll get the news that I passed!
Kyuubey: "Passed"? Ahh... You mean that exam.
Kyuubey: But what does that have to do with your chef's coat?
Manaka: ... Well! Allow me to explain it to you, you clueless white tanuki!
Manaka: They're going to be posting the results on the internet, soon!
Manaka: And once I see the confirmation that I passed... I want to make myself a celebratory feast, right away!
Manaka: ... That's the plan!
Kyuubey: I see.
Kyuubey: So the only outcome you expect is success.
Manaka: I told you!! Shut your mouth!
Manaka: Oh! It's time! It's finally time!
Kyuubey: Aren't you glad? You made it in to Mizuna Girls' Academy.
Manaka: ... Not even a little bit...
Manaka: Because my only goal... Was Lillianna...
Manaka: But I got into Mizuna Girls' Academy...
Kyuubey: Manaka...
Kyuubey: Then make a contract with me...
Manaka: ... Hm? What... Sort of advertisement is that...?
Manaka: "Mizuna Girls' Academy" ... "St. Lillianna's Academy" ...
Manaka: "Student council" ... "Assembly" ... "To deepen friendships" ...
Manaka: "Dinner party" ...?!
Manaka: (That's it...!!)
Manaka: Even if I failed to get into St. Lillianna's...
Manaka: I still want to spread the flavors of our restaurant...
Manaka: I absolutely, absolutely, will never give up!!
Mizuna Girls' Academy Entrance Ceremony Day
Manaka: Excuse me--! Pardon me!
Student Council Girl: A challenger...?!
Manaka: Me!
Manaka: Now that today's entrance ceremonies are over... I'm a first year - Kurumi Manaka!
Manaka: I request an audience with you, the student council!
Student Council Girl: A first year? What could a new first year want?
Manaka: This upcoming May, between this school and St. Lillian...
Manaka: I heard that the student council is throwing an assembly!
Student Council Girl: Yes, that's right.
Manaka: At the assembly...
Manaka: The student council would be responsible for providing meals, right?
Student Council Girl: Right.
Manaka: So what if...
Manaka: What if you let me to make the food?!
Student Council Girl: ... Eh............ Eh?! You want to make the food...?
Manaka: Yes!!
Student Council Girl: A-ah... Um... Well...? We already...
Student Council Girl: We've already asked the chef of a restaurant to do us the favor...
Manaka: Fufu! Is that all? You can't call that a plan!
Manaka: Just let them know that you're swapping them out for me!
Student Council Girl: Huh...?
Manaka: I mean, compared to that whoever-chef...
Manaka: My cooking would be dozens of times better!
Student Council Girl: Wh--what...?! You sure are rude...!!
Student Council Girl: Ahem! Anyway!!
Student Council Girl: We aren't going to do something so irregular!
Student Council Girl: We've already decided who's in charge of catering!
Student Council Girl: Now then! You're dismissed! Shoo! Shoo, shoo!
Manaka: H-hey! Wait, come on! You don't have to push me!
Manaka: Are you sure?! You'll miss out on a chance to eat my cooking...!
Manaka: ... She even... Locked me out...
Manaka: Why?! All I did was tell the truth...
