It's finally the day...

Yeah.
Also, I can't wait to see what the other classes are gonna do.

And we get to vote on which did the best, right? How awesome would it be to win first prize?!
4

Nene

Listen

F-First might be kinda tough...
I heard the other classes also put a lot of effort into their things.

Hey, you guys!
6

Nene

Listen

Oh... Hi, Akiyama, Aoyagi...
7
Your class is performing a dance routine, right? Don't you guys need to change? Do you still have time?
8

Mizuki

Listen

Yup!
When we drew straws to see who's gonna go first, our class ended up somewhere towards the end!
9

Toya

Listen

Your class made a film, right?
How'd it turn out...?
10

Akito

Listen

Just fine. Shooting it wasn't easy, but all that's left for us is to have everyone watch it.
11

Nene

Listen

I dunno if I'm gonna be nervous or excited when it plays.
12

Toya

Listen

Does that mean the shoot went well...?
13

Nene

Listen

It did. And the books you found for me really helped a lot, Aoyagi.
14

Nene

Listen

Sorry I couldn't thank you sooner.
But I really appreciate what you did for me...
15

Mizuki

Listen

While we're on the subject, Li'l Bro, you're the star, right? I can't wait to see how you did.
16

Akito

Listen

Just sit and watch quietly for me, will you?

That was a great play!
Kamishiro's class did such a good job!

25

Akito

Listen

But it sorta didn't make any sense...
What happened to paying homage to “The Phantom Of The Opera”...?
26

Nene

Listen

I wouldn't have guessed there'd be a passage to another world hidden underground, or that they'd fight a dragon there... It is something they'd come up with, though.
27

Nene

Listen

(They did put on a really good performance, but I couldn't focus on it towards the end...)
28

Nene

Listen

(Because... Next...)
29

MC

That concludes Class 3-C's play.
Next, we have a film by Class 2-A.

MC

Our screening of “The Wandering Cook: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of Gourmet Martial Arts” will now begin.
31

Nene

Listen

This is it...
32
Yeah... I'm so nervous...
My face is gonna be on that screen.
33

Akito

Listen

It's way too late to be saying anything like that.
34
Look who's talking. You seem pretty tense.
I bet you're just as nervous.
35

Akito

Listen

Quiet...
36

Nene

Listen

(These two get nervous about stuff?)
37

Nene

Listen

(I really got to see a new side of everyone through this festival...)

“Please stay...!
I want you to stay in this village forever and ever!”

Former Dark Cook A

“Yeah, boss! You even helped us change our ways! After we attacked you, we became so hungry that we couldn't move... But then you made food for us...”
51

Former Dark Cook B

“You also reminded us of the importance of wanting to serve people the best food possible regardless of who comes asking...!”
52

Former Dark Cook C

“Yeah! So, please stay in this village and teach us your ways!”
53

Wandering Cook

“I'm a cook...”

Wandering Cook

“I have a purpose to fulfill.”
55

Girl

“Yeah, we know...
You have to keep helping everyone that's in need of your cooking.”
56

Girl

“But promise me this...”
57

Girl

“If we ever need your cooking again, you have to come back and make food for us, okay...?”

Every class did such an amazing job!
I really loved the dance routine Mizuki's class did!
64

Nene

Listen

Aoyagi looked like he had fun dancing too.
65

Tachibana

But everyone cheered like crazy when they saw our film. That means we did a pretty good job too, right?
66

Amisawa

Yeah!
Do you think we have a shot at winning?!
67
Haha. I dunno about that.
I mean, Kusanagi said it's gonna be hard for us to...
68

Nene

Listen

We might actually have a shot...
69
What?
70

Nene

Listen

To tell you the truth, I was worried sick this whole time...
71

Nene

Listen

I thought we did a good job since we worked really hard on it, but I still wasn't sure how others would react to it...
72

Soda

Kusanagi...
73

Nene

Listen

But I could see that everyone was enjoying it once they started watching it...
74

Nene

Listen

Including me.
Once it started playing on the big screen...
75

Nene

Listen

I found myself also having fun!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

76

Nene

Listen

When everyone first asked me to direct our film, I wasn't at all sure how I'd do...
77

Nene

Listen

I'm really shy...
I also felt this wall between me and all of you guys.
78

Akito

Listen

You did?
79

Nene

Listen

Y-Yeah... But I got to know all of you as we worked on our film and became more comfortable as time went on.
80

Nene

Listen

And I'm really glad we did this.

So, thank you!
Making that film with you was super duper fun!
86

Amisawa

Yeah, I also had a lot of fun!
We should go fly drones together again sometime!
87

Tachibana

And you promised to go clothes shopping with me, remember?
88

Soda

You gotta stop by my dojo sometime!
I wanna introduce our film's director to all the kids!

122

Taniyama

To be honest, as a screenwriter, I wasn't sure how this class was going to keep the story in this film together. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
123

Taniyama

However, they ended up doing a wonderful job. And in every frame, I could tell that they really worked as a team to make this film happen.
124

Taniyama

I believe the tale of the Wandering Cook was an extraordinary expression of your youth... And I hereby award you with this prize. Congratulations.
125

Nene

Listen

Oh...
126
We did it, Kusanagi!
We won the judge's prize!
