Chubo no Alice (Alice in Wonderful Kitchen / Chuubou no Aris / 厨房のありす)

⟨Alice, a chef who loves chemistry, wonders what love is like→

And for the first time, I knew where those feelings were headed⟩

I like Kosei! (Wasa) Love is a bargain.

⟨ Trying to turn Kosei around in various ways →

I'll try hard...⟩

It's no good dating Kosei-kun!

⟨An event that depresses Alice→

I will visit one after another⟩

It's okay to talk about cooking.

⟨I felt like I was about to give up, but →

In front of Kosei, my heart overflowed⟩

About Kosei-san...

I like it.

Me too... I like Alice.

Ah.

Sorry, I haven't cleaned up yet.

Huh? (Alice) I'll clean this up right away.

All right, all right, I'll do it. (Alice) No, I'll do it.

No, no, it's okay, okay, I'll do it? (Alice) No, I...

>> I'm home. (Alice) Wow!

>> Huh? what happened? Alice

Ah, how was the interview?

It ended successfully. Excuse me.

>> Huh?

Huh...?

Good.

Alice~ The preparations are finished~｡

Alice~?

What are you doing? The preparations are complete.

What happened? Alice. (Alice) It's nothing.

Ah!

Here, there is a gap of about 2 cm from the grid.

Ah, sorry.

Hey.

Yes. (Kosei) What?

Did something happen to you guys?

What is "something"? (Kosei) Nothing.

Have you finally told me? (Kosei) Ah, no...｡

Alice, have you been told?

This… this… notification…｡ (Wasa) Look, I knew it!

Here, here… I told you.

Huh? (Kosei) No, uh... that's not true.

Did Alice tell you? (Alice) Yes.

Oh! How, how!?

When I expressed my feelings to Mr. Kosei→

Mr. Kosei also told me that he liked it.

Oooooooooooo! (Kosei) Ah, it's almost... time to open.

There's still 5 minutes left! (Kosei) But there are still checks to be done before opening...

Alice, what do you think? (Alice) Everything is perfect except for the table mentioned earlier.

Then go on, do you like Kosei? (Alice) Yes.

Is that so? (Kosei) No...

Ah, welcome.

Sorry, it's only 5 minutes before the store opens.

Ah, it's totally fine, please come in.

Hey, are you going to run away? (Kosei) Please say anything.

Hey, are you okay? (Kosei) Huh?

>> I saw something like this...

Mr. Kosei, are you really leaving?

I'm coming out.

Could you please reconsider?

If I were here, it would be a nuisance to everyone.

It won't happen.

Ah, Kosei-kun.

Thank you for your help.

I don't think he's going to leave.

No one here cares about that!

What will you do if word spreads that there are criminals in the store?

I don't care about that. (Kosei) I do.

I don't like it.

I'm interfering with people's lives because of me.

Whose life are you interfering with?

Alice: That's what you said.

As a chef→

I'm glad to be able to connect with everyone.

You won't be able to do that if I'm here, right?

It won't be →

I heard from Wasa that the arrest record was a misunderstanding.

The people who posted that were also the ones at my previous workplace, right?

Enough is enough.

Not good! That post is wrong.

Kosei isn't bad.

And there's also the matter of embezzlement of money.

If you ask Kosei's father about the situation...

He died.

Huh?

My father died.

Charged with embezzlement →

I chose to die myself.

Anyway, I can't stay here anymore.

Mr. Kosei, what did you say yesterday?

Mr. Kosei…! (Kosei) That's a lie.

That's all a lie.

So forget about me.

Kosho-kun, you quit!? (Sadaichiro) Huh? When?

Today. (Sadaichiro) Huh!?

Why did you quit? (Wasa) Well, you're acting strangely...

That post?

I don't have to worry about that!

Well, that's true, but I didn't ask him.

>> So what happened to that? (Wasa) “That”?

>> Alice-chan is going out with Kosei-kun, huh?

Well, it seems like we've communicated our feelings to each other?

I love you. (Akiko) Eh! And yet?

I see... (Wasa) Good job.

>> Wait a minute...! I'll do it.

It's okay for a little bit. >> The baby will be born soon.

Kotora Ai Hey. (Kazusa) That's why it's okay. I'm worrying too much!

Hey, where's the shop? What should we do?

Ah...｡

>> Well, I guess we have no choice but to close it.

Hmm, Kosei-kun isn't here.

Alice, Dad, are you going now?

The conference ends on Thursday, so I'll be home by Friday morning.

Hey? Alice

Yes.

>> It's been like that for three days since then.

I see…｡

Shingo-chan...

Did something happen with Kosei? >> Huh? no?

Eh, why? (Wasa) Oh, she's nothing.

Will the Shinkansen be delayed? >> Yeah...｡

Well, I'll go. (Wasa) Yes, come on.

>> Okay…｡

Alice?

Do you want to eat something? Aren't you hungry?

I see.

If you're hungry, please call me.

I'll bring you some food.

Mr. Kosei was lying.

I don't know if what people are saying is a lie or the truth →

I believed it.

I felt like an idiot.

Alice.

But ever since then→

I can't help but think about Kosei.

I wonder what Mr. Kosei is doing now.

I wonder what Mr. Kosei is eating now.

I wonder what I'll do for my birthday next week.

Even if I try not to think about it →

My head is filled with Kosei-san.

I see…｡

you're right.

Alice

Are you going to open a store?

Huh? (Wasa) Yeah, let's open a store.

Let's restart! I like it.

At times like this, all you have to do is keep busy with work.

That'll change your mind.

Is that what it is? (Wasa) That's what it is.

But Kosei-san isn't there.

Without Mr. Kosei, we would not be able to serve customers in the hall.

I'm here, right? (Alice) But there's a baby...

It's okay. How many children do you think she's giving birth to?

You know your body best.

what will you do? Alice

do? Why not?

I'll do it, thank you.

Yes!

I will forget about Mr. Kosei.

Oshi! Let's forget it! (Alice) I'll forget!

I'll forget! (Alice) Yes!

Forget it! (Alice) Yes!

Ah…｡

It wasn't vacation yet.

It seems that that matter is being talked about again.

eh?

It's about that traitor's embezzlement.

I'm sorry.

I never knew that kid was his son...

[But...! 〕 >> 〔We are the victims.〕

〔let's go〕

I don't want you to do unnecessary things.

Please keep a close eye on it.

yes.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

Hello. (Wasa) Welcome.

Huh!? Are you serving customers? (Yuna) Are you okay? at work.

It's okay, that's about it.

Yes, seat here.

>> Ah~ I'll do the water myself!

I'm fine. >> It's fine, just don't move.

Good! I'm doing it today.

Welcome.

>> Is it okay to move? (Wasa) Yeah, it's okay.

Yes, sit here. >> Ah, this is my colleague.

Hello. >> I have been suffering from arteriosclerosis recently →

Apparently the doctor told me that. (Wasa) Oh no.

That's right. (Alice) It's a tuna cutlet that improves arteriosclerosis.

>> Oh, are you serious? Tuna cutlet is my favorite food.

Ah, I'll correct it. (Wasa) Huh?

Celery salad that improves arteriosclerosis.

>> Huh... What about tuna cutlet? (Alice) Tuna cutlet is cancelled.

>> Why? (Alice) Celery salad is good for arteriosclerosis.

>> Tuna cutlet also improves arteriosclerosis, right?

Yes. >> Then I guess that's better.

No. >> Huh?
