High School Restaurant (Koukousei Restaurant / 高校生レストラン / Kokosei Restaurant)

If you'll excuse me.

- I'll be taking this. - Okay.

Cut it a little thicker.

Chef Hazama-san, are you still cooking?

- Hurry up cooking it! - Yes.

Thank you for everything.

Yes?

Oh, are you at work?

No.

I did something bad... I'm talking about that case...

Oh, that restaurant? About that talk...

That high school might accept you.

Huh?

I talked to the Principal about temporary employment

and he told me to go ahead and welcome you as a teacher.

Hey, wait a minute Hiroshi.

I don't care how, but I really want to work with you.

Besides that, for a man to say he wants to be "Hana-ban restaurants number one"

you're already fully aware it's impossible.

But you know Shingo, I want to...

return to our hometown and work with you somehow.

Hey, for the town

maybe a high school restaurant is required.

I need you to do it, please.

Like you said, it might take six months or a year.

Opening a restaurant on track is difficult.

I'll even go to you and bow my head if you want.

What would happen if I did?

Hey, listen to me Shingo.

Yeah.

Tell me, what do you think?

We're late!

- Crap. - That's bad!

I'm sorry I'm late.

The reason the cooking club is here today

is that you will have a new club advisor.

It's a month till we open, please wish the new teacher luck.

- Um... Vice Principal... - Yes?

What about Kageyama-sensei?

She'll retired to take care of her mother in the countryside.

What is the new teacher like?

Don't worry.

He's one of Ginza's leading chefs.

He knows Kishino-san from Town Hall.

Isn't that right Yoshizaki-sensei?

After hearing that... I also want to know more.

From Ginza in Tokyo?

And one of it's leading chefs.

Why would a first class chef come here?

Not here.

Huh?

Coming.

Yes, Buddhist temple.

Ah, Kishino-san?

Hello? Ah, well, has Shingo gone over there?

Brother? No, is he supposed to be?

He promised he'd ride the train here.

That's admirable nowadays.

Ah! Very surprising!

- Thank you very much. - Ah, no problem.

- Hey, you're finally here! - Ouch!

- You're still as hot-tempered as ever... - Shut up!

- But you're finally here. - Yeah.

- Ah! - Huh?

- Bags! Bags! My bags... - What's wrong?

There we go... Are you okay? Are you okay?

Where are you going?

Offer incense.

High School Teacher certificate type 1, Muraki Shingo-san.

Ah, yes.

But, it's been changed.

What?

You and Kishino-san attended our school.

Ah, that's true.

I was surprised the number of classes has been reduced.

The entired region has been reduced.

The town needs revitilization

so the idea is to try out a restaurant run by students.

The students are waiting for their Principal.

- That being said, the teacher should go to the restaurant. - Yeah.

I will only say this, Muraki-sensei.

Yes.

The town needs a restaurant like this

and the students of our school will be working there.

Please take care of the restaurant and the students.

Please.

Oh, thank you.

We delayed the opening for the month after April

since there's still time left,

who knows what can happen.

So in a month?

Ah, that's right.

There have been many inquiries from students across the country.

Thank you,

there's been a fair increase of freshman students.

This is the first time anyone's tried to open a high school restaurant in the nation.

- There's been interest in it. - Ah, Vice Principal, no more.

I'll guide him the rest of the way, thank you very much.

I see, please take care of it.

- Hey, Hiroshi. - Huh?

- It'll be opening in a month. - Yeah.

They're waiting, we'll talk on the way.

Well, isn't it nostalgic?

The kendo morning practices.

It was truly tiresome. So sleepy.

It really was tough.

Oh, it's about what we were discussing earlier...

What?

Is there really a month left before the restaurant opens?

Oh... well, I'll tell you the story some time later.

- I want to hear it now. - Meet the students first.

It's here, huh?

Oh, everyone is here already.

Tokura-san was excited and said "call the whole staff".

Borrowing a little.

Please leave our vegetables alone and bring your own.

- Aren't you making too much? - Really?

- I'm sure it'll be fine. - Right!

Hey guys, make it properly.

Yes.

It's good, the high school students.

- Take the pictures. - Yes.

The new teacher, what do you think he's like?

Do you think he'll be handsome Mai?

Please work.

But we're being taught by a Sensei that cooked in Ginza,

aren't you excited just thinking about it? A pro among pros!

Yes, I'm excited. The dashi is boiling.

It really is.

It's done.

It fried beautifully.

As expected of Sakamoto-senpai!

- Oh, that's right - Hm?

- I haven't done an introduction yet. - Yeah.

- This is your assistant, Toko-kun. - My assistant?

I'm Toko Hitomi.

- Please treat me kindly. - She was sent by the department.

Leave the chores to me.

- Chief. - Oh, look at that,

it's really amazing. They look comfortable.

Hey! Hamburgers there! Hamburgers.

Muraki-sensei.

Section Chief, Muraki-sensei is here.

Nice to meet you. I'm Tokura of the tourism department.

Today, I've asked reporters to be here to cover you as you begin work.

Please look at them,

everyone has confidence and wants the teacher to try them.

Shingo... no Muraki-sensei.

First, you should greet all of the students.

Yeah.

- This person is that first class chef? - So cool! Right

What's the matter Shingo? Greet them.

Huh? Yeah...

Um... I'm Muraki.

Is the president of the club here?

Yes! That's me.

- Who is the one who made the tempura? - Sakamoto-kun made the tempura.

I'm Sakamoto.

Yeah.

The shrimp is good.

But there's a problem.

President.

Yes?

That exhaust fan, when was the last time it was cleaned?

What are you talking about?

And this floor, that kettle, that pot, when were they last polished?

Um...

Enough.

Everyone get out of the kitchen.

Huh?

Didn't you hear? Everyone get out of the kitchen, including the cameraman.

What? So suddenly...

President! First, it needs to be cleaned.

- I'm sorry, but can you leave? - Huh?

It's better this way. Just leave it to him.

Hey, hurry!

Um, sensei, we have to finish the cake first.

Is it okay to not finish it?

Let's see how it looks first.

What about school, can we just go home?

I'll go home too...

Do what you want!

If you go home now, don't bother coming tomorrow.

Muraki-sensei, wait a minute...

How many brushes do you have? If I run out I can use a sponge.

- Sponge. - That's dirty.

Isn't it natural?

Part of cooking basics is cleaning the kitchen and your utensils!

If you hate it, go home.

Something feels wrong.

We came here to cook interesting things.

- I'm going home! - Me too.

I can't do it.

I quit.

The rest of you, clean.

All right... let's go everyone.

Excuse me.

- Touko-kun, let's clean. - Yes.

- Tokura-san. - What was that?

Everyone was quitting! What was that?
