(cutlery) 132 The First Seat's Power
Cutlery: This is another world!!
Souma: Wooooow!!!
Shokugeki no Soma
Story: Tsukuda Yuuto
Art: Saeki Shun
Collaborator: Morisaki Yuki
Megumi: I-It's way too different compared to the other areas...
Souma: Who said we were in a recession?
Souma: Besides...Even though almost all the booths in the Central Area are closed by now
Souma: All the booths here are still really active.
Rindou: The quality of the customers is different.
Rindou: Almost all the customers here will stay the night in the Tootsuki Resort in the school premises
Rindou: Which is why there are a lot of booths which offer course dinners.
Megumi: A...All the booths look really expensive...
Rindou: Don't worry, Tadokoro-chan, Tsukasa's restaurant is my treat.
Rindou: With Tsukasa's place I'll complete my tour.
Souma: Eh...?

p4
Souma/Megumi: You went to all 120 booths in five days!?
Rindou: I worked hard!
Megumi(thinks): Is that something you can manage with pure effort...?
Souma(thinks): The Elite Ten really is full of monsters...
Rindou: What are you doing? I'll leave you behind.
Man: Welcome...Today's theme is "a symphony of Autumn Ingredients",
Man: It's a nine-course dinner.
Man: Please proceed inside...Tsukasa has already---
Man: Begun cooking.

p5
Megumi(thinks): It's like a stage.
Megumi(thinks): It's like the area around Tsukasa-senpai
Megumi(thinks): Is a different world......

p6
Souma: ...Wait a second.
Souma: There's only...Three tables?
Rindou: All the other staff members are waiters and waitress.
Rindou: Tsukasa is doing all the cooking by himself
Rindou: So he wouldn't be able to handle any more tables.
Souma: No, still...Even if he limits the number of seats...
Souma: He's cooking a nine-course meal by himself!?
Megumi: That kind of hard work...You wouldn't be able to do it unless you're really confident of yourself...!
Rindou: Nah, the reason is more like this:
Eishi: Just thinking of leaving the finishing touches of my dishes to someone else scares me...!
Eishi: When I think what I'll do if they make a mistake......I just can't concentrate on cooking!!
Souma: Ah---...

p7
Eishi: Please...Serve this.
Eishi: Please be really careful...So that the arrangement doesn't lose its shape, ok...!? Carry it very gently, please...
Man: I-I know.
Souma: Hmm...?
Souma: This is---

p8
Souma: Sakura shrimp, right...?
Souma: Isn't it one of spring’s representative ingredients...?

p9
SFX: *snap*

p10
Souma: ---...!!!
Man: This...!!
Man: Is a real surprise...!
Text: There's a strong image...That Sakura Shrimp is a synonym of spring,
Text: But in autumn they actually become bigger and their flavor deepens.
Text: He knows this well and makes the most of it...!
Voice: In all these dishes...You can feel the ingredients' image drawing close to you
Voice: Even more vividly than when they were alive!!

p11
Voice: This is preposterous...!
Voice: What a fearsome cook!!
Eishi: Umm......
Eishi: Is the room too cold!? Are you ok!?
Eishi: On the other hand, if the air conditioning is making it too hot then please tell me!
Souma: ?
Eishi: Are the chairs comfortable?
Eishi: Is the illumination too dark...?
Rindou: You know, if you fuss about your customers that much
Rindou: They actually feel uncomfortable.
Eishi: Eh!!?

p12
Rindou: Right, Tadokoro-chan?
Megumi: Eh......! Ermm, yes... A bit...
Eishi: !!!
Eishi: No way......
Eishi: Then, what should I do......!?
Rindou: That's why I'm always telling you to be more confident.
Souma: .........
Souma(thinks): Wow...! This is a course dinner!?
Souma(thinks): For example, after a sour dish,
Souma(thinks): A dish with a faint sweetness comes in...However, he makes it have a different texture so that its impression doesn't dim out!
Souma(thinks): Then comes a cold dish! Then he raises the temperature slightly and completely changes the flavor using spices on the next dish!

p13
Souma(thinks): He keeps changing the rhythm in a delightful way while preserving the harmony of the course.
Souma(thinks): The difficulty of this is on a whole nother dimension compared to making just a complete dish...!
Rindou: Your ability to judge good ingredients is as good as always...
Rindou: You've got good eyes.
Rindou: ...But I would've preferred
Rindou: To eat a dish with your "passion" on it, Tsukasa.
Eishi: My dishes,
Eishi: Don't need "me".
Megumi: Eh......?
Eishi: My work erases myself from the dish,
Eishi: I just take the good parts of the ingredients
Eishi: And set on to investigate and hone them thoroughly.
Eishi: However, that same work paradoxically helps to express myself.

p14
Eishi: That's Tsukasa Eishi's cooking.
Eishi: Ah...Next...What would you like to drink!?
Eishi: I'm sure there are unnecessary things in there, so I'm sorry...!
Woman: W-We still have something to drink so it's ok, Tsukasa-kun.
Man: Hahaha! This year's first seat is a really interesting student!
Rindou: ...The gourmets around the world
Rindou: Began calling Tsukasa like this at some point......
Rindou: The one who serves all of the best ingredients
Rindou: And dedicates his pride and soul to them.

p15
Rindou: Der Weiße Ritter der Tafel (The White Knight of the Table) //The furigana said "Tafel Weiß Ritter" but that's not quite right so I corrected it a bit

p16
Rindou: Ahahaha, it's so cool, isn't it!
Rindou: I rolled on the floor laughing the first time I read that in a magazine.
Souma: ...............
Souma: ......Tadokoro, did you notice?
Megumi: Eh?
Souma: He's such a timid person
Souma: Yet he's not even once
Souma: Asked "How's the flavor?"

p17
Rindou: .........That just means he doesn't need to ask.
Megumi(thinks): An absolute conceit and confidence towards his work on the ingredients.
Megumi(thinks): He's completely different to any cook I've ever met.
Megumi(thinks): This is the current
Megumi(thinks): First seat---!

p18
Megumi: He really...Was an amazing person...
Megumi: I...Got a bit overwhelmed by him...
Megumi: Souma-kun?
Megumi(thinks): He's on fire!
Souma: To think there was such a world of cooking...How interesting...!
Souma: The Uptown Area is really awesome!
Souma: We've come all the way here so I want to take a look around......!
Megumi: B-But we don't have even one Pine Ticket...
Souma: Alright, let's go, Tadokoro!
Megumi: It can't be......
Megumi: Are you planning to eat at Nakiri-san's booth...?
Souma: Oh, how did you notice!?

p19
Souma: I mean, I had her take some Hujiao Bing on the first night of the festival.
Souma: I'm glad I got a favor from her with that!
Souma's sd: Take it, don't hold back.
Erina's sd: I told you I don't want any of that!!
Megumi: Suuuuuuure...
Megumi(thinks): I think you just forced them onto her...
Megumi: .........?
Megumi: Hmm...? There's a lot of noise around there.
Souma: ...Isn't that
Souma: The direction where Nakiri's booth is?
Box: On that day
Box: We met yet another cook...
Cutlery: Something will happen on the last night...!!
Box: We'd never be able to forget.
