! 大竹と小松の昔話を含めた御話
The chapter includes Ootake and Komatsu talking about old times.
大竹はNEOへは行かなかった。美食檜やNEOを会社にたとえた。ようはヘッドハンティングだよと言う大竹 。
Ootake didn’t go to NEO. He compares the Bishokukai and NEO to companies based on their “headhunting”.
小松は条件の良い会社に何故大竹も付いていかなかったのかと問う。美食檜でまだ何も学んで無いと応える大竹 。
Komatsu asks Ootake why he didn’t go to a company with favorable conditions. Ootake replies that it’s because he hasn’t learned anything at the Bishokukai yet.
大竹は元孤児。大竹がひたすら店の知名度に拘っていたのは自分の育った孤児院の子供たちに誇れるものを与え るつもりで必死に成っていた。
Ootake was an orphan. The reason he was so determined to make his shop famous is because he wanted to give the kids at his orphanage something to be proud of.
小松は大竹の本心を聞けて涙する。大竹いわく今美食界に残ってるものは攫ってきた料理人と一部の熱心な幹部 のみ
Komatsu listens to Ootake’s story and sheds tears. According to Ootake, the only people left in the Bishokukai are the kidnapped chefs [Note: I think this means the ones who were taken during the Cooking Fest] and some extremely loyal members of staff.
! ミドラ帰宅。
飯の時間だと告げる
Midora returns and announces that it’s time to eat.
! Also, after reading other spoilers with additional info, it seems like Komatsu makes a meal out of junk ingredients that weren't stolen by NEO for Ootake, who's injured. (Komatsu finds the kitchens by listening to the voice of the ingredients.) One spoiler also said that Ootake's ultimate goal is to deliver GOD to his orphanage
! Good guy Ootake. :cry
