Hungry! (ハングリー！)

Please go out with me!

What!?

Could you possibly have feelings for me?

What? -Thinking back,

that must have been a confession.

Ouch!

You really don't get women, do you?

I'd like to have a meal here as an official guest.

If I'm not satisfied by my meal here,

I'll take "Le Petit Chou",

this restaurant's name.

Is everything gonna be okay, Eisuke? -Yeah, is it?

Didn't you insist in using the name?

You said you don't want to change the name because you're succeeding your mother's restaurant.

I won't change the name. Shit.

So, I won't lose. Definitely.

Mariya?

Oh, right! Can I stay over at your place tonight?

Yeah, of course, man!

Why don't we go for a drink now? -Let's go!

Let's go, let's go! -Bye, Eisuke!

Bye!

Bye. -Okayy, what should I drink tonight?

You guys are such a close group, as always.

What are you doing? You shouldn't be here this late.

You smell like alcohol.

Here for Valentines.

You were out drinking this late?

Yes, with my girl friends.

Did you know? If your boyfriend is a chef,

the two of you won't have time anymore to have fun and drink yourselves dead drunk.

Shall we drink together now?

I haven't eaten dinner,

and I have some cheese and wine that I got as samples.

I'll stay with you till morning.

Say. -Hm?

Did you miss me?

You're asking me that?

People say I don't get women, but

I don't think you get men, either.

I kept thinking about it. What you meant by "break".

I just wanted to calm down and think.

I just thought maybe

we don't need each other anymore now.

But...

I love you.

I still need you.

Hey... can you pull down my back zipper?

My chest hurts.

No...

Huh? What? -Uh.. oh, nothing.

Don't tell me, in the last two weeks you've started to hate me.

That's not it. But...

Then, say that you love me.

I can't do that. -See?

You hate me, after all.

It's not that. It's just...

Then, say it.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Uhh... it's cold at night, so...

I can't believe he heard everything I said. So embarrassing.

Stop laughing.

I love you.

There's no way I'd ever hate you.

You dummy.

We met at an awkward moment.

Ow! -I'm sorry.

Are you okay? -Yeah.

My eyesight isn't great right now. I'm really sorry.

What happened?

I was performing outdoor concert and got a shock from the electrical equipment during the rain.

I was beaten by my boyfriend when we were on a date.

Just kidding.

Um, a sty. A sty on my eyelid got worse.

Tachibana-san. -Yes.

Are you sure you don't want to report this matter?

Yes, it's okay.

Okay, we're going to examine you now. This way.

Thank you.

Has your sty healed? -Huh?

I think you better break up with that guy already.

After that, he opened an account with our bank,

and came in every once in awhile.

When my black eye healed, I broke up with my boyfriend,

and started going to see Eisuke's live performances.

I wish Eisuke would chase after his dream a bit more.

You're still up?

No.

Don't move!

What are you doing?

Chie, what are you doing this late?

What's this? -Omelette.

I just learned how to make it, so I'm practicing. Hot!

You're clumsy, so be careful.

Sasuke!

Bring her the medicine box. -Oh, in the kids room.

What are you going to bring her? The toy box?

So hard! So bitter!

Hello.

Taku-san?

Part-time? -That's right. Actually,

Shiroyama-san introduced me to a new band,

so I might not be able to come in occasionally.

So, she'll replace me at those times.

Please take care of me.

What do you mean? You didn't tell me about this.

Don't look at me like I'm a molester!

I'm not!

What? I came to help you here.

Chie-chan knows about this place and the food quite well,

so it'll help us alot.

I have no choice.

But, just so you know, I...

I know that you're strict about work.

And that you're a rude guy who doesn't apologize even though you've touched a girl's chest.

Good that you know that.

Everyone, look at this!

Look at this. Here, here.

Our place is on the MogSearch!

Hm? What's MogSearch?

You're a chef and you don't know about MogSearch?

It's a public comment webpage on gourmet stuff.

Look. There are 2 comments.

Le Petit Chou... Despite the cute French name,

there's nothing French about the interior design of the place.

For some reason, they play rock songs that are easy to get into

and the staff were all young and look like musicians.

They have various types of guests too. -What? It's a bad review!

Look like musicians? I'm a real one!

However, what's weird is that I felt comfortable there.

The cuisine was unexpectedly delicious.

Especially the pork rillettes and the main course, Wagyu Beef Shiogama in Cuts.

Not to mention the cauliflower puree seasoning was excellent

and is higher quality than the mediocre 'genuine' French cuisine.

The rice is arranged like breasts and there are other puzzles in this place,

but somehow the place has a mysterious charm that makes me want to go again.

This is great!

I was the one who tore off that cauliflower.

It's so exciting to see these comments.

Yeah, we have to be grateful. It's promotion for this place.

Alright! Come here!

Here!

We are finally being

acknowledged by society bit by bit. -Yeah!

There are people who understand our charm in this world!

Yes, there are! -But our ability

is not just this.

The challenge day is in another 2 days.

Let's make good food and give good service.

And we'll crush down that creepy owner!

Alright! -Alright!

Huh? Challenge day?

Aso Tokio is

that famous man who owns many high-class restaurants, right?

Is it gonna be okay to have a fight with such person? -I'll win.

If he steals away our restaurant's name too,

The fact that I quit rock and opened a restaurant, won't mean anything.

Le Petit Chou was my mother's dream.

That restaurant is your mother's dream,

and not yours.

So, fight it hard without getting too worked up, okay?

Bye.

You're dating such a pretty woman.

I guess such women truly exist in this world.

Women who loves useless men.

Just like your mother.

What do you mean? Bastard.

I'll beat you up. -It's too early to get excited.

Tomorrow is your fight.

I'm looking forward to it.

Shit! I definitely won't lose.

Le Petit Chou, I'll take this restaurant's name.

The day to fight that owner is finally here.

Hm?

1, 2, 3.

A black truffle! -When I heard you were going to have a fight,

I sold the book of paintings I bought in Nice a long time ago.

I was only able to buy 1 with it, though.

Thanks, Pops. -You know...

I'm very happy that you're succeeding

your mother's restaurant like this.

Good luck.

It's such an evil scent.

With only one of these, the flavour will improve.

Aso-san is going to Yamate Eisuke's restaurant?

That's right.

Why does he keep challenging such a guy?

He's just curious about him. Nothing to be concerned about.

Seem like, Eisuke is back with his girlfriend.

That's good.

He can devote himself to cooking now.

You don't have to act strong, Chie-chan!

No, I mean. I meant nothing to him, after all.

He even said things like that to me in front of everyone.

He really doesn't look at me as a woman.

I don't think so.

Huh? -Just leave it to me.
