Souma: It's ok, it's ok!
Souma: We're not getting an amount of customers I can't handle myself anyway!

Megumi: .........

p5
Terunori: Yu-ki-hi-ra-chin.
Souma: Ah, Kuga-senpai.
Souma: Want to eat a Hujiao Bing?
Terunori: Nope!
Terunori: It seems you've been working sneakily during the night.
Terunori: You've added more dishes to your menu...
Terunori: But it's already day 3, you know?
Terunori: If you keep doing such bad business just in front of our Kuga Chinese Restaurant
Terunori: You'll be nothing but a bother for us.

p6
Terunori: Can't you just close the booth? Like, right now.
Terunori: Close it, close it, close it! I won't ever forget you were here, Yukihira-chin! Ok (star)? Now, let's hurry and close the booth! Let's do it, c'mon, go away, do it now, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
Guy: Whoa! Look at that line, what's that booth!?
Girl: It seems they sell Sichuan Cuisine! We've come all the way here, so why don't we eat something here?
Terunori: Oh!

p7
Terunori: Hey there! I'm sorry but please line up over here.
Terunori: Kuga Chinese Restaurant will receive you with arms wide open!
Megumi: Souma-kun...Are we really making Mapo Doufu?
Megumi: Didn't Nakiri-san mention it too...? That we'd never defeat Kuga-senpai with a Mapo Doufu---
Souma: Nah! Nakiri did say that,
Souma: But the reason why Yukihira's Mapo Doufu isn't spicy
Souma: Is because pops tried to make
Souma: A flavor any of the locals...
Souma: Any of Yukihira's regular customers could enjoy.

p8
Megumi: Ah......I see...
Souma: Kuga-san's might be better at the flavor's intensity
Souma: But that doesn't mean pops' dish is inferior to it, ok!
Megumi: Y-Yes.
Souma: If only I could use that Mapo as a base...
Souma: And add some ideas of my own on top of it...!
Souma: But...What's that even like...?
Souma: I mean, I have a vague idea of what I want to do.
Souma: But I don't know if I can give it form...!
Megumi: You see, yesterday,
Megumi: Souma-kun said this...
Yuuki/Ryouko: ?

p9
Megumi: "Do you think the Chinese R.S.
Megumi: Deserves perfect points for everything as a restaurant?"
Megumi: Like that......
Ryouko: Eh...? I mean,
Yuuki: Their business has been flourishing, hasn't it...?

p10
Souma: Seriously? Wow, that helps a lot!
Souma: Yeah! Thanks! Tomita-san!
Souma: Alright! He's going to prepare things for us.
Souma: What else now......? I'd like a lot of those things around the booth...
Souma: But I can't think of someone who can help with that...
Megumi: .........

p11
Megumi: Hello...Chief...Umm-
Megumi: I'd like you...To do me a favor!
Souma: It's complete...!

p12
Megumi: Souma-kun...This...Is amazing!
Megumi: With this we can......!
Souma: ......Alright,
Souma: Let's go with this.
Souma: Tomorrow's Saturday...

Souma: Let's stay focused. //Maybe "go with a splash", I don't know which would be more appropriate for this context
Box: Moon Banquet Festival Day 4
Terunori: Gentlemen, good morning!

p13
Terunori: Our Chinese R.S. was first place on the sales rankings for the Central Area yesterday!
Terunori: Like, seriously, you deserve praise!

Baldies: Yes sir!!!
Terunori: ......Two more days...
Terunori: ---......
Guy: Umm! Chief Kuga!!
Guy: Th...They...!
Terunori: ......?

p14
Souma: Sorry for everything, Tomita-san!
Yuuya: It's ok! These benches are the ones used for events at the shopping district...They were gathering dust in the storehouse.
Yuuya: Besides, I can't really refuse you if you ask me a favor, Souma-chan!
Souma: Please take one of our dishes as thanks!
Yuuya: Eh! Really!?

p15
Terunori: You sure are a shallow thinker, Yukihira-chin.
Terunori: This is what you came up with after thinking so frantically?
Terunori: Thinking more customers will come if you add more seats,
Terunori: Isn't that a bit tooooo simplistic?
Terunori: Even if you just can't win in terms of flavor...
Souma: Well, this certainly is my first Moon Banquet Festival
Souma: And I'm just a newbie who transferred here half-a-year ago.
Souma: But,
Souma: In terms of how long we've run a restaurant...

p16
Souma: I have about
Souma: Ten more years of experience than you, senpai.
Souma: Besides---

p17
Guy: What he's making is-!
Guy: A Mapo Doufu!!
Guy: He's directly challenging
Guy: Kuga Terunori, the master of Sichuan Cuisine, with a mapo doufu!!?
Megumi: Souma-kun! Here!
Souma: Yeah.
Guy: He's adding noodles to the mapo doufu---?

p18
Guy: Mapo Noodles, huh, it seems he thought things a bit...But!
Guy: Yeah! That isn't exactly a new dish.
Guy: He must be out of his mind if he plans to compete with the Chinese R.S. with such a small impact!
Guy: Ngh!?
Guy: Wh...What's that!?

p19
Guy: What's that huge meatball!!?
Souma: And......Didn't I say
Cutlery: He challenges Kuga with the Mapo Noodles "+ alpha"---!!
Souma: I'm beating you with my cooking?
