Donburi Iinchou (Japanese Bowl Chairman / どんぶり委員長)

Yamagasa-san is transferring to a new school to join Okinawa's local idol group,

Okinawa 773.

As a rival for Yoshida-kun,

I was pushed around a lot by her,

but thanks to that, I came to realize my own real feelings.

A lot has happened,

but I am going to miss my rival.

Class President.

Yamagasa-san.

You think I have given up on Yoshida-kun?

What?

I'm totally fine with long-distance relationships, though.

N--No!

It's starting!

EPISODE 9

A MISUNDERSTANDING ON CHRISTMAS, DON!

EASY MICROWAVABLE ROAST BEEF-STYLE DONBURI

- Yoshida-kun! - Oh, Yamagasa-san.

I'm transferring to a new school, and I want you to come to my farewell party.

Huh?

Do you say those things to yourself? You think?

I know.

But if we don't take the initiative and do these things ourselves,

we won't survive in this age of idol wars.

I see.

So, since Christmas is coming up,

I thought we could do a Christmas party

in costume as my farewell party .

Did you make this flyer yourself?

These were made by Futoda-kun.

It's Ota. You still can't remember that?

Or rather, he was asked to call him that.

- Thank you. - What's this?

- We're throwing a Christmas party. - This is cute!

He gave up.

We all bring our own dishes. The venue is the home economics room.

There, we can eat and drink,

Teacher Ibara said.

And so, I'll be there.

- Are you okay? - "Are you okay?"

Huh? You're asking me if I'm okay?

- Is it okay for me to be there? - I don't know.

Yoshida, what should I do? What should I do?

- No, that's annoying. - What... Annoying...

Also, I'd like Class President to come too.

Why don't you ask her? - Huh?

I think she's not good at parties like this.

But I don't want her to regret it like with the motsunabe...

A farewell party without Class President will be sad, no?

Please, Yoshida-kun.

Why me...

Hell no. Why are you asking me to go to that party, Yoshida-kun?

I don't really know why, either.

Don't do that. It doesn't suit you.

I think the class will be there,

and I'm sure you'll have a good time if you come, too.

I doubt that.

To start with, costume parties are a hassle, no?

I have to plan and make it. The party's in three days, right?

Impossible, I won't make it in time.

Does it really take that long?

I'm the type that gets obsessed with such things. You know that, don't you?

I don't think you have to go that far.

- Why does it have to be Yamagasa-san... - Huh?

- By yourself... - Yeah?

A mountain of it...

What?

Irresistible, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

Huh?

Oh, this...

Yoshida-kun, if you want me to join the costume party...

Don't say it...

Can you make me a roast beef donburi?

I knew it...

- And now too. - Now?

No, if you want roast beef, I'll make and bring it to the party,

where I will serve it on a bowl.

Yoshida-kun, you really

don't know anything about me.

- What? - You know,

I don't want people to see me gulping down a donburi.

And why is that? Because it's unseemly.

But gulping it down is a pleasure, right?

It's a pleasure because it's unseemly.

Good grief, that is why Yoshida-kun...

As usual, you're so insensitive.

Sorry.

Make me a roast beef donburi and I'll join the costume party.

This will all come full circle, so good luck, Yoshida-kun.

Yes.

Why do I have to go through these lengths?

Michiko-san, let me borrow the kitchen.

- Now? - Yes.

It won't be done in time for the opening.

Is it really that hard?

Roast beef is just roasting the beef, right?

Class President, you don't get it at all, do you?

Roast beef is a bit special, you know?

Well, yes.

A dish that's so easy to make, nothing special about it... None!

I... I see.

Traditionally, the meat is tied with string,

pan-fried, and put in the oven. Well...

the whole process is such a hassle.

- That is why! - Ah!

This time, I'm gonna do an easy to make roast beef in a microwave.

A microwave?

Yoshida-kun, "atatameru" in English is "warm".

With that method, it's not roast beef,

but a warm beef.

So meticulous.

After the food fraud issue, we need to be more precise about what we call it.

Okay, so roast beef-style beef?

Yoshida-kun, then it's safe.

What's with that tension?

You two have become like a couple of failed comedians

after not seeing each other for a while.

- What? - We are not like that.

Don't be shy now!

- This beef round... - Beef round...

- Salt. - Salt.

- Pepper. - Pepper.

Add a drizzle of olive oil evenly...

Drizzle evenly...

Allow to sit for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.

That long?

What are we going to do in the meantime?

Want to play shogi?

I don't know why you carry that around with you,

but I'm afraid I can't spare the time.

Now I'm going to make 2 different sauces.

What?

One is the onion sauce. I'll make this one,

and you make the yogurt sauce.

What? I'm nervous.

Don't worry, Michiko-san will back you up.

Thank goodness.

Come with me.

- Huh? - It's okay. It's okay.

Something is going to happen in the Christmas Costume Party!?

Class President is made up in Japanese style!!

- You look in it. - D--Do I?

Yes.

Wha... What?

Nothing.

So what do you want me to do?

First, add yogurt with the mayonnaise...

Yogurt...

with the mayonnaise...

Then mix in a tube of garlic paste and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Okay.

- A tube of garlic paste... - Oh, isn't that a lot?

- Too much? - Oh, but do you like it?

- I love it. - Ah, then that's okay.

- It's done! - Yes.

Then it's finally time to start cooking the beef.

Yes.

But I can take it from here by myself,

so you don't have to help me.

What?

- So I just mixed the sauce? - Yeah.

Michiko-san, you didn't have to change my clothes, did you?

No, but it brought out the vibe, didn't it?

It took 10 minutes to tie this hair.
