p4
Voice: A...Amazing!!
Voice: That looks so thick and heavy!!
Girl: Wow...Look at that cross-section! It's shining brilliantly.
Girl: I'm feeling hungry just looking at it...
Girl: But...The meat he's using is tail, right? Since he's traced Yukihira's...
Girl: Then, what's that bacon for?
Erina(thinks): If he's adding bacon to a beef stew...The answer can only be one-

p5
Erina(thinks): Garnish...
Erina(thinks): He's planning to use it as "garniture"!
Erina(thinks): Yukihira-kun's recipe is one in which you strain the stew when finishing it, if you don't add any garnish it'll become a simple dish of just meat with sauce...A garniture is indispensable!!
Erina(thinks): Even for the dish which is said to be from where beef stew originated, "Beef Bourguignon" from Burgundy, France, garniture is something you must add. //Beef Bourguignon is, in a few words, "beef boiled with red wine" so I guess it's what they meant, then again, I'm not sure if mentioning the place of origin is necessary since the dish's name already mentions where it comes from XD
Erina(thinks): What are usually used are "Crouton", "Small Onion Glacé", "Sautéed mushrooms",
Erina(thinks): And...Bacon!
Yuuki: That means...

p6
Yuuki: He's adding that juicy bacon to his stew!?
Voice: He's taking the thickly cut bacon...And sautéing it with melted butter!!
Voice: He's cooking as quick and delicately as usual...!
Guy: Anyway, I can't have enough of this smell...It's smoky yet mellow...
Guy: Just what kind of smoking chips did he use!?
Subaru: ---What I used was
Subaru: "Mesquite"...!
Megumi: Mes...quite?
Yuuki: You know it?

p7
Shun: It's a leguminous tree from the South of the US--- //North of Mexico too, Ibusaki-kun...
Shun: It's a smoking material that's almost never used in Japan.
Yuuki: Ibusaki!
Shun: It's one of the smoking chips that people love the most in the birthplace of BBQ, Texas!
Shun: Since it has a sharp aroma it's mostly used for some peculiar kinds of meat and serves to give the meat a golden gleam.
Subaru: That's not all...!
Subaru: For the pickling, I used my secret weapon..."Brown cane sugar"!
Subaru: I added brown cane sugar and spices like sage, nutmeg, and bay leaf to the pickling mix and pickled the meat in it for a week.
Subaru: This draws out the flavor exceptionally!!
Yuuki: What's going on here!? Was Mimasaka that knowledgeable about smoking?
Yuuki: His knowledge and skills are on par with Ibusaki's!!
Shun: ......That bastard.

p8
Subaru: I'll take this ultra-thick bacon...Simmer it, and have you eat it
Subaru: Covered with plenty of the stew together with the tail meat...
Thought: That's...
Thought: Deeeeeefinitely going to be delicious---!!
Sonoka: On the other hand, Yukihira-kun...Doesn't seem to be adding any special garnish to his dish.
Taki: I guess he thought it was just an additional thing.
Taki: Even though garnish is an incredibly important part of beef stew!
Taki: Yukihira Souma
Taki: Will never
Taki: Win against that stew!!

p9
Hinako: ...
Taki: Come on, try saying something, huh.
Fuyumi: Don't forget you're supposed to give an impartial judgment.
Mitsuru: ...
Mitsuru(thinks): ...What’s this weird feeling I'm having...
Mitsuru(thinks): Just after we visited Nakiri-senpai...Yukihira-senpai made the kitchen off-limits for everyone else.
Mitsuru(thinks): So why did Mimasaka-senpai know about the tail meat---
Subaru: Oh...Isn't it Soutsuda Mitsuru we have here?
Mitsuru: !
Subaru: You should change your password to a more elaborate one.
Subaru: If it's your birthday it makes things too simple.

p10
Box: A few days ago---
Mitsuru(thinks): ...Alright.
Mitsuru(thinks): With this, I'm done with the beginning...
Mitsuru(thinks): Of the article covering Yukihira-senpai!
Mitsuru(thinks): Ugh...I’m so sleepy...I didn't sleep much yesterday either since I was waiting outside the polar star dorm.
Mitsuru(thinks): ...But I don't have time to take it easy...!
Mitsuru(thinks): If I can spread around
Mitsuru(thinks): Yukihira-senpai's victory through my newspaper extra---...!
Mitsuru: Ah...It's about time for senpai to go to school!
Mitsuru: I have to go make my on-the-move interview!

p11
Mitsuru: You accessed
Mitsuru: My PC!!?
Subaru: I had many other ways to go about it,
Subaru: But this made my job much easier.
Subaru: It's all thanks to you.
Ikumi: Is Yukihira going to be alright...
Ikumi: He's stayed overnight in the kitchen for three nights already, right?

p12
Ikumi: Yukihira? We're coming in...
Ikumi: Why don't you take a rest and---
Box: It seems he wanted to wash his face and just fell there...
Ikumi: Yukihira---!!
Megumi?: Th...The medical office! Call an ambulance---!!
Souma: Uh.........Nikumi...Tadokoro...?
Megumi: ...He's come to himself...Thank God......
Ikumi: You big idiot! If you collapse before the match everything's lost!!
Ikumi: ...
Souma: Nikumi?
Ikumi: ......I'll wash these for you so go sleep a bit.
Ikumi: Being sleep deprived is going to get you hurt...

p13
Megumi: Mito-san! I'll help too.
Ikumi: Y...Yeah, thanks......
Souma: ...Sorry girls.
Souma: I'll do my best...Thanks.
Ikumi: I told you, don't sleep there!!
Megumi: G...Go sleep in a bed, Souma-kun~~~
Mitsuru(thinks): The days Yukihira-senpai spent making tests,
Mitsuru(thinks): The time he spent thinking up new ideas,
Mitsuru(thinks): It was stolen---
Mitsuru(thinks): And it's my fault.........!

p14
Megumi: Wh...What can he do...?
Yuuki: What are you going to do, Yukihira!?
Ikumi: At this rate
Ikumi: You'll end up just like Takumi...!?
Mitsuru(thinks): What's......That cooler box for...?
Mitsuru(thinks): Does he have spare ingredients in it or something?

p15
Souma: You were Tsunozaki Taki-senpai...Right?
Taki: Huh?
Taki(thinks): What's...With this guy!?
Taki(thinks): He just went and talked to me normally!
Souma: It seems you've been saying lots of things about me.
Souma: I'll listen to all your complaints
Souma: After I've finished serving my dish!

p16-17
Voice: Beef cheek!
Voice: Beef tongue, beef tripe!
Voice: Fillet!
Voice: He just keeps bringing out many different meat parts!
Voice: And he's slowly begun cooking each of them!
Taki: What's this...!?
Taki: What is he trying to do!?
Souma: Eeeeem...*cough*
Souma: Dear judges...I'm about to-
