Youichi: My Bread-wrapped Hamburger Steak doesn't need any sauce!
Youichi: It only needs these peppercorns!!

Young Master: But, but, to use only peppercorns is...
Young Master: will peppercorns even go well with the meat juices?

Youichi: Well, try it, Young Master!!

Young Master: Hmm....!

SFX: Cut


Page 4

Young Master: Oo...
Young Master: OOOO!!

Young Master: This is....delicious!!!

Mum: EHhh!!!

Mum: Ah!
Mum: The peppercorns are stinging....!


Page 5

Mum: Stinging...
Mum: But...!!

Mum: ...Delicious!!
Mum: The stinging sensation accentuates the taste of the meat juices!


Page 6

Young Master: That's right!!
Young Master: The peppercorns's sharp pungency really elevates the savory taste of the

juices!

Young Master: The moment I bite the steak, the peppercorns snap and the pungent flavor bursts

open...
Young Master: These peppercorns make the savory meat juices double in flavor!

Young Master: Moreover, because you only used dry peppercorns...
Young Master: the savoriness doesn't fade into any liquids and the true meat flavor is

brought out!

Young Master: Amazing!!
Young Master: This is the first time I've tasted a hamburger steak this delicious!

Youichi: Hehe...

Youichi: Roast the meat evenly using a charcoal fire and...
Youichi: distribute the heat to the insides using a metal skewer!

Youichi: And, to prevent the meat juices from dripping away...
Youichi: wrap bread around the outside to seal it in!

Youichi: The ultimate taste of the hamburger steak comes from the meat juices...
Youichi: it's the duty of the sauce to make the meat juices even more delicious!

Youichi: However, all the sauces I tried covered up the flavor of the juices!
Youichi: That's why, I threw away the idea of the sauce and simply used peppercorns

Young Master: Incredible! Everything you did!
Young Master: What a wonderful plan..!

Young Master: You did it, You-chan!! WIth this, we have nothing to fear!
Youichi: You got that right! Both of us are going to give Genesis a shock of their lives!

Genjirou: In the past, I...
Genjirou: I knew a lot of privately-managed restaurants that got taken over by them.

Genjirou: They were small establishments that had devoted chefs...
Genjirou: But they were all forced to close one by one due to the Aji Shogun Group's

businesses

Genjirou: They are a strong enemy but...
Genjirou: To prevent that from happening, I want you to win!
