Kawachi is feeling overconfident, because his first opponent is a middle-aged woman. Ken scolds at him and tells him not to let his guard down. His next opponent is Motohashi Yuuko and she has been in the school lunch industry for thirty years. She is Top Queen of the School Lunch Center plus she has “Mother’s Hands”. After hearing Ken say all those things about his opponent, Kawachi became less confident and somewhat scared. He imagines how though his opponent is. Right after the first round started for the B group, Kuroyanagi announces Kawachi as the winner. It’s because Kawachi used crunchy pie dough instead of cookie dough. Mixing it with the bread dough would make wonderful melon bread. Kawachi was surprised by the result. Later on he finds out that Ken lied to him. Motohashi Yuuko isn’t Top Queen of the School Lunch Center and she doesn’t possess Mother’s Hands. Ken made that up, because he didn’t want Kawachi to let his guard down. Kawachi (almost) became careless, because his opponent was a middle-aged woman and because of his Solar Gauntlets.
Then Mizuno appeared with Koala guy. She wants to make a bet with Tsukino, because Kazuma is facing Koala guy in the third round. If Kazuma loses, Tsukino will have to step down from the battle over the succession of the Pantasia Group. Same goes for Mizuno as well; if Koala loses she will have to step down. If one of them (Kazuma or Koala) gets defeated in the second round, the other one will automatically be declared the winner. To make sure she will keep her word, Mizuno even prepared a contract. Tsukino signed it without hesitation. Ken, Kawachi and Kazuma were a bit shocked by Tsukino’s decision, but then Tsukino says to them she is happy with what she has got now, because they are by her side. At the same time, in the southern Pantasia store, Mushroom Head (I keep forgetting about his name) felt alienated.
Then someone behind them starts to scream, because his favorite baseball team was losing. Kawachi remarks that there is some weird foreigner speaking fluently Japanese mixed in among them. The foreigner recognized Kawachi was speaking in a Kansai dialect. He immediately walks over to Kawachi and tells him he is an enemy. He pushes Kawachi aside and starts to talk to Kazuma. He says to Kazuma that he saw he had an excellent first round. When Kazuma asked him who he is; the foreigner introduced himself. His name is Spencer Henly Hokou (shortened to Shachihoko) and he is the representative from the Nagoya prefecture. Shachihoko is also Kazuma’s next opponent. Kawachi doesn’t seem to believe Shachihoko, because according to him there is no Nagoya prefecture. Shachihoko insists he is from the Nagoya prefecture and even uses violence to convince Kawachi. Kawachi doesn’t seem to care though. He is counting on Kazuma to kick Shachihoko and the Koala guy in his place. Mizuno and Koala guy were watching from a distance. She knows Shachihoko, because she tried to scout him for her branch. He declined her offer, because he has a real Nagoya fetish. Kazuma will have a hard time facing Shachihoko in the second round.
Kuroyanagi announces the theme of the second round, which is yakisoba (fried buckwheat noodles). The candidates don’t have to make the bread, because the breads have already been prepared (French rolls). They have to make the yakisoba that goes with the bread. This time the best yakisoba bread will be chosen amongst the winners and presented with a reward of 100,000 yen. The second round for B group will start the day after tomorrow and for group A the day after that.
After the four of them left the Pantasia main store Kawachi asks why the theme for the second round is yakisoba bread. Ken explains that originally, Pantasia had never considered to becoming a chain. However Pantasia earned a really high reputation, and began to increase its tempo, later expanding into a chain. After a while Pantasia had to come up with new products (butter rolls, yakisoba bread) to sell to their customers. Kazuma was feeling depressed, because he has never made yakisoba bread before. Ken takes them to a Chinese noodles wholesale retail store and introduces them to an old friend of his, Ryuu Ryomen. Ryuu Ryomen is a member of a Chinese assassination group, but is also an expert at noodle making. For the next few days Kazuma and Kawachi have to learn how to make perfect noodles that goes with the yakisoba bread. Kawachi seems to have a talent for noodle making while Kazuma sucks at it. Kazuma has to try much harder, because his opponent Shachihoko won’t be defeated so easily.
I was actually looking forward to see Kawachi’s Solar Gauntlets so I was a bit disappointed when he won from his opponent so easily. Mizuno is still a pain in the a*s. I wish she could just shut up. Shachihoko looks strange; he doesn’t look like a bread artisan at all. I’m surprised Kuroyanagi hasn’t commented on his appearance yet.
One thing I like about this series, is that it never fails to surprise me with new, weird and also interesting characters. Ryuu Ryomen is one of them. An assassin and a noodle-making expert? That’s not something I could come up with. I wonder where Ken knows him from. It’s a bit suspicious if you ask me.
