Shokugeki no Soma
Cutlery: Souma pulls the cart, just what is he doing...!?
(cutlery) 127 Moonlight Whisper
Story: Tsukuda Yuuto
Art: Saeki Shun
Collaborator: Morisaki Yuki
Box: Academy festival second day 19:10
Nao: ---......So...

p2
Nao: Foods like Kiviak and Surströmming...Are the top in terms of stench and deliciousness in the cooking world,
Nao: My ambition is to create a disgusting deliciousness that surpasses them.
Souma: Hey, you have pretty good taste there! I want you to try some of my past works.
Megumi(thinks): They have great chemistry...
Nao: Yukihira Souma...
Nao: I heard you spent a whole week together with Hisako-oneesama during the stagiaire period.
Nao: I was planning to send you about one hundred cursed letters...But I'll forgive you.
Souma: "Onee-sama"?
Souma: Arato's our age, isn't she?
Souma: Well...I would've wanted to get to know you faster, Sadatsuka.
Nao: The same goes for me, Yukihira Souma...Hihihihi......
Box: The meeting of two people who shouldn't have ever met.
Nao: Anyway...What are you planning to do with this?

p3
Nao: We're not permitted to do business outside of our requested booth areas...
Souma: ......Oh!
Souma: Hey you there! Want to have something on your way back?
Souma: You don't have to pay a thing!
Nao: !
Voice: Eh? We don't need to give you any food tickets?
Voice: Wah, I've never seen such a clay oven!
Voice: Hujiao bing? What's that?
Souma: I tested new dishes last night by pulling the cart like this, too.
Souma: Other booths give away samples on the street, right?
Souma: So there shouldn't be any problem moving with the whole booth...
Nao: You sure are cunning...
Nao: But, if you want to think of a new dish, why not do it in a kitchen?
Nao: Is there any need to go all the way outside with the cart?
Souma: Nothing beats actually getting to see the customers' reactions, right?
Souma: The forte of a stall like this is exactly that it's easy to move and lets you do just that!

p4
Souma: And I wanted to try changing the situation a bit.
Nao: ......?
Souma: I think I might just be able to see something
Souma: I couldn't see being side by side the Chinese R.S.
Guy: It's so gooood!! What's with this amount of meat juice!?
Girl: It's so juicy and spicy...It's the best!
Man: Hujiao Bing, huh...Hmmm, they're a bit heavy.
Man: If there was something I could just...Slurp away...
Souma: I have something just perfect for that!
Souma: Wait a bit!

p5
Souma: Here we go.
Man: Oh!?
Woman: What's that? Handmade noodles?
Old Man: Oh! A student is making the noodles himself!
Nao: This is.........

p6
Voice: He's making the Hujiao Bing dough
Voice: Into thin noodles!!?
Souma: Thanks for waiting!
Man: Oh...!
Man: I can smell a fluffy combination of shrimp dashi and garlic!

p7
Man: ...Hwaaah...! It's great...!
Man: It's refreshing yet it had a defined body...
Guy: I've been on an eating tour the whole day but I just keep eating this!
Girl: This is the perfect last dish!
Nao: The topping is the Hujiao bing's filling, minced pork...!?
Souma: That's right! I made this after hearing a request from a customer,
Souma: Thanks to it, our sales for the second day went up quite a bit.
Nao: ...I can't believe you made the wrapping into noodles.

p8
Nao: To think you improvised that...
Souma: No, no, actually...
Souma: There's some Taiwanese noodles that are pretty similar to this.
Nao: ...?
Nao: Dan zai noodles...!
Big Text: Dan zai noodles
Text: A Taiwanese noodle dish.
Text: You make a light soup with a dashi taken from katsuobushi or shrimp shells,
Text: Add noodles called "aburamen" and toppings like minced pork and young spring onions and serve them all on a small bowl.
Text: It's a dish made following the principle of "eating without getting tired of the flavor" [食巧不食飽] (Shí qiǎo bù shí bǎo)
Souma: If I had to give a name to this dish...
Souma: I'd be the Yukihira-style "Fake Dan Zai Noodles"!

p9
Megumi: W-We also have Hujiao Bing, do you want some as a souvenir?
Girl: Onii-chan, thank you.
Souma: Be careful, it's hot.
Megumi: Would you like some tea?
Mom: Eh...Is it ok? Thank you.
Girl: Mom, I got some food.
Mom: I'm glad for you.
Souma: Hey boss! Want to come with us for a bit? It's just 0 yen!
Nao(thinks): He's abnormally used to drag customers in. (cd: He's like a pimp)

p10
Megumi: Waah......
Megumi: There are...So many customers...!
Megumi: Well...It's because we're giving them out for free,
Megumi: It might just be natural they're happy about it...
Souma: Ahaha! Sure that.
Souma: Hmmmmm...
Souma: You know, this happened yesterday when I took the cart out, too......

p11
Souma: Oh, and when we sold Hujiao bing together with pops at the summer festival in the past,
Souma: It was just like this.
Megumi: Eh...? Just like this...?
Souma: First, people came in sporadically since the clay oven was unusual...
Souma: The reaction of the people eating brought more people in,
Souma: And,
Souma: Eventually we couldn't cope with the crowd around us...
Souma: Well, with the Chinese R.S.' showy booth in front of us,
Souma: It might just be natural things aren't the same there.
Souma: The clay oven lacks impact on itself.
Megumi: ......Ah, and...

p12
Megumi: How Hujiao bing are baked...It's interesting and eye-catching,
Megumi: But it might be difficult to imagine the flavor unless you see someone eating it.
Megumi: People who don't know Hujiao bing beforehand don't even know what's inside them...
Souma: ...Yeah.
Souma: On the other hand, Kuga-senpai's Sichuan cuisine...
Souma: Just by looking at it you can imagine the flavor.
Souma: ............Just remembering it is making me drool.
Terunori: The Moon Banquet Festival
Terunori: Is different from a "Shokugeki" where the judges must eat both dishes!
Souma: ............
Megumi: Then...We can-

p13
Megumi: Give the customers a dish where they can have a strong image of the flavor...Or soemthing?
Souma: That or...
Souma: Something with enough impact to draw the customers’ attention away from the spiciness.
Souma: If we can make such a dish,
Souma: We might just make it out of this situation......!

p14
Alice: I'm enlightened!
Alice: We'll put the meat in a bath recirculator and let it carefully cook for two hours.
Alice: Then we heat each individual vegetable to perfection in a steam convection oven...
Alice: Add some aroma with mixed spices.....Then this and that...
Alice: In the end we let it cool down for four hours and when it's frozen it's complete (music note)
Akira: ......And,
Akira: How much are we charging for it?
Alice: Errrm...To get some profits,
Alice: I guess two Pine Tickets would be enough.
Text: 20,000 yen
Akira: That will never sell!! We're at the main street area, you know!?
Akira: To begin with, we can't sell such a complicated dish for the festival.
Alice: But we'll definitely create a stir!
Akira: We just can't do it! We'll just end up deeper in the red.

p15
Akira: It's no use even if you pout like that.
Akira: This is the Moon Banquet Festival, you know?
Akira: If you're just going to serve whatever dish you want without thinking about the customers then just drop out!
Ryou: Hey......Hayama.
Akira: ...Huh?
Ryou: Even if it's only on the surface...just......
Ryou: Talk while flattering milady a bit.
Ryou: Humor her......Nicely.
Akira: This is the result of you pampering her all the time.
Alice: ...You're right.

p16
Alice: I take that suggestion back.
Both: !
Alice: Let's think of a dish
Alice: The guests coming to the Moon Banquet Festival can enjoy from the bottom of their hearts from scratch.

p17
Souma: What can we do...?
Souma: Something...Easy to imagine...Impactful,
Souma: And good enough to beat the Chinese R.S.......
Megumi: The Chinese R.S. has the mapo doufu as their feature dish...And some other dishes which are all amazing.
Souma: Yeah, that mapo is selling as great as expected.
Megumi: ...Ah, come to think of it, Souma-kun,
Megumi: You said you had Nakiri-san eat the Mapo set you served at home, right?
Megumi: What did she say...?

p18
Souma: She said I'll never defeat Kuga-senpai's dish.
Megumi: She said it so clearly...? Just how awesome is Kuga-senpai...!?
Megumi: I mean, Jouichirou-san made that mapo doufu, didn't he...?
Megumi: To think it's a flavor that completely overwhelms it...
Souma: Hm? Well, but that's 'cause
Souma: Yukihira is---...

p19
Souma: ......Tadokoro, I'm sorry,
Souma: But we might be sleeping a bit less from today on.
Megumi: Eh...?
Souma: I want to try something.
Souma: I'll strike at Kuga-senpai's castle
Cutlery: The moon gave him a hint...!? What's the new mapo doufu Souma's making!?
Souma: With Yukihira's...New Mapo doufu!
