Newspaper: T.S. New Director Nakiri Azami Gets supported!!
Man: Senzaemon-dono was
Man: Forced to resign!?
Man: Is it true that Nakiri Azami appeared!!?
Man: Wasn't he banished...?
Man: It seems the Elite Ten reached a consensus about this...
Man: What!? How could that happen...!?
Box: The last night of the Moon Banquet Festival ended
Box: And the news spread both in and away from Tootsuki in the blink of an eye.

p3
Box: Why......Was Nakiri-san trembling on that day
Box: Neither Souma-kun nor I know yet,
Box: And while we're like that, in a place we don't know about,
Box: Something really terrible was about to begin.
Box: But......
Box: Daily life at Tootsuki Academy
Box: Seemed to be the same as always

p4
Cutlery: The sun goes down and, without any ominous shadows or noises, Tootsuki is enveloped in the darkness......!

p5
Yuuki: Do we really have a new director!?
Ryouko: It says the majority of the Elite Ten agreed on this...!
Satoshi: Well...I was surprised by it too.
Satoshi: Who would've thought that someone would make arrangements with more than half of the Elite Ten
Satoshi: In order to become the new director.
Yuuki: Letting this be decided so easily is too absurd!
Satoshi: There are no issues with it as a procedure, though.
Satoshi: They went through the proper steps to submit this measure.
Ryouko: ...Well...You have a point.
Ryouko: I mean, I've heard the role of Tootsuki's director has been carried on by the Nakiri Family Head for generations...
Yuuki: Hmmmm...I see, it isn't weird for a Nakiri to become the next director.
Yuuki: I was just surprised by how sudden it was...
Souma: .........

p6
Yuuki: Come to think of it, normal students like us have nothing to do with this.
Shun: ............
Souma: ......Hm? What's wrong, Ibusaki?
Shun: Well......
Shun: I was just thinking no one came to Isshiki-san...
Shun: To make arrangements...So that he sided with the new director.
Souma: ...............
Satoshi: ......Oh, come to think of it, it's about time.
Ryouko: For what?
Satoshi: The new director is giving his appointment speech,
Satoshi: It should be beginning just now......

p7
Azami: Thank you for coming here.
Azami: I was designated as the new director by the consensus of the Tootsuki Elite Ten,
Azami: My name is Nakiri Azami.
Azami: The previous director, Senzaemon-dono, brought by such great achievements to this academy
Azami: That I can't deny I'm feeling great pressure...Regarding whether or not I'll be able to carry on my duties as his successor.
Azami: However,
Azami: I fully understand it is my great duty to be the driving force for Japanese cuisine.
Azami: I humbly take upon this responsibility and I promise I'll lead Tootsuki to further progress!

p8
Azami: Phew...That was nerve-wracking.
Azami: Excuse me, could you get me some water.
Woman: Ah...! I'm truly sorry, wait just a moment!
Azami: Thank you very much.
Azami: ......No, please...
Man: Azami-sama...We've prepared a car for you.
Azami: Ah...Sorry, please make it wait for a while.
Man: ?
Azami: I want to walk around a bit.
Azami: What a director must do...Is guide Tootsuki to its proper future.
Azami: In order to do that, I must first see the current state of the academy with my own eyes.
Azami: After all, all I have the previous director hadn't is youth.
Azami: I must make up for my lack of experience with stamina.

p9
Azami: I see! Some politicians go around the street greeting people many times to appeal their youth
Azami: I think I understand them now! They're just as desperate as I am.
Woman: ......This was...Quite unexpected.
Man: Yeah...I thought he was a more biased man
Man: But it seems he's a nice person.
Voice: Senzaemon-dono is quite old too...So this might have been a good moment for a generational change.
Osaji: What is that about......?
Osaji: Is that really the same person?
Osaji: Even though he showed us his true colors that day!
Shingou: Yes...All the present in that booth
Shingou: Heard his reckless remarks.
Shingou: To think he'd try to play the hypocrite after exposing his faults...Just what is he thinking?
Orie: He might not even think he exposed his faults......
Osaji: .........Huh?

p10
Osaji: What do you mean, Miss Orie?
Orie: He has no intentions of playing the hypocrite...
Orie: He might have just acted according to his true feelings...Both on that night...And today too.
Natsume: ......That is
Natsume: Because he has no doubt everything will go his way
Natsume: No matter what happens......?

p11
Azami: Hisako.
Azami: Thank you for your work until today.
Hisako: Eh.........?
Azami: I thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting Erina while I wasn't here.
Azami: I'm sure Erina's burden was lightened quite a bit thanks to you.
Hisako: ......Wa-!
Hisako: Wait a second!
Hisako: What......Does that...

p12
Azami: Starting today,
Azami: You're relieved of your secretarial duties.
Hisako: No way......!
Hisako: Ummm...I...I!
Hisako: ...Erina-sama......!
Erina: F......Father...
Erina: I, with Hisako...From now on......
Azami: There's no need to worry.

p13
Azami: I will be by your side from now on.
Azami: I'll choose all of your clients from now on.

Azami: Ok? Erina.
Erina: ........................Yes
Erina: .........Father......

p15
Souma: ............
Fumio: ...This peace might not last long.
Ryouko: Eh......? What do you mean, Fumio-san?
Fumio: The decentralized powers now are steering in the same direction...
Fumio: In other words, if you go against it
Fumio: You'll be seen as Tootsuki's enemy...
Fumio: You'll become "the Tootsuki Elite Ten's enemy".

p16
Fumio: Yukihira! Is Yukihira here?
Megumi: Ah...He just headed to his room...
Yuuki: Is something wrong?
Fumio: A visitor for him just arrived...
Megumi/Yuuki: ?
Souma(thinks): ...Come to think of it,
Souma(thinks): We have a new director,
Souma(thinks): But what is the previous director doing now?

p17
Text: Tootsuki Tea Ceremony and Cooking Academy Previous Director
Senzaemon: Hm...
Text: Nakiri Senzaemon

p18
Senzaemon: Worry not, this is your room.
Souma(thinks): Wh...Why is he in my room!?
Box: Something similar happened before so Yukihira-kun doesn't think there's anything wrong with his pose.
Senzaemon: Please excuse my sudden visit.
Souma: Sure...Well that's fine, but-
Souma: Eh? Do you have some business with me?
Senzaemon: ......Fufu...Thinking back
Senzaemon: This is the first time we talk to each other directly.
Souma: Well......You're right...Ah.
Souma: Wait a second, I'll bring some cushions...
Senzaemon: I was the one...

p19
Senzaemon: Who advised Jouichirou to make you apply for Tootsuki.
Senzaemon: ......Let's go outside,
Cutlery: Linking fates...What will the director tell him!?
Senzaemon: I have something I want to tell you.
