﻿I'm back. Hi.
﻿Wow, good pitching
﻿It's amazing!
It's just too good
﻿Mai!
﻿What?
﻿Mom, is the food ready?
﻿You!
﻿Can you stop looking at this stuff?
Why? There's nothing wrong with it
﻿How about replacing it with Korean idols?
﻿Isn't this too old-fashioned for high school girls?
﻿Mom, what are you talking about?
I'm free to watch what I want
﻿This is my personality, you know.
﻿Come on, have some macarons or something,
or something feminine?
﻿There are all kinds of women in existence,
in this day and age...
﻿In that case, the traditional image of a lady is one of them, right?
Well, I guess so.
﻿In that case, since you have the time, why not learn how to cook?
Cooking? That's so troublesome
﻿If you think so, I can't help it.
My generation's perspective is that
women like you are losing femininity.
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿The job you're doing now,
should have been done by a man in his fifties, right?
What?!
﻿What else? You'll never find a boyfriend in your life!
That's too much!
OK, I get it
﻿I'll do the cooking tomorrow
Femininity
It seems I'm not suitable for cooking, right?
﻿Everyone has things that are suitable and not suitable for them
﻿You just happen to be a woman who can't cook at all.
That's how it is, don't get too bothered about it.
That's not very assuring, don't you have any better advice?
﻿Advice?
﻿Just simply give up
﻿What is wrong with you?
You have no delicacy at all!
I've had enough
You're so affected
Round 3 [1000 Knocks]
﻿Hey hurry up, hurry up, try to catch up
﻿Okay
﻿The radish is ready
When you prepare vegetables with a knife, you have to cut neatly.
﻿This thickness must be cut in half.
﻿What's the meaning of this?
﻿This will not taste good.
﻿I'm sorry
﻿Can you remember to do your job?
﻿I'm sorry
﻿You can't be lazy even in the smallest job.
﻿Okay.
﻿What's going on? Why so loud?
﻿Sorry master chef! I'm teaching Karin.
﻿Another mistake?
Enough, go and wash the dishes
﻿Okay
﻿Thank you for your hard work
﻿How long have you been with us?
﻿I've been here since I graduated from the college. It'll be a year soon.
﻿It's been a year.
﻿You're bad at learning, aren't you?
﻿I...
﻿I didn't get into this career to work for someone.
﻿I wanted to explore the possibilities of Japanese cuisine.
﻿Cooking is a creative job, right?
﻿I came first in my creative cooking class.
﻿I've won several awards in competitions.
﻿So to be honest, I'm not just a helper... Hey, hey, hey
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿You are not suitable in this line of work
﻿Didn't you understand what I just said, senpai?
﻿All you care about is looking good, how could you possibly do a good job?
﻿What?
You just said something offensive.
﻿That's personal freedom, right? What's wrong with me dressing the way I like?
It's just like you said,
﻿A fashionable woman is free to dress in any way she wants.
﻿It's a good trait to do what you want to do.
﻿But you don't have it
Thanks for the hard work.
﻿I can't remember all this.
So troublesome, I hate cooking.
﻿Welcome
Uhm,
this is my first time in a batting center.
Yes.
﻿Does it really make you feel better?
﻿What?
﻿I just read about this
﻿I am super agitated right now
Stress Relieving Leisure Activities, 2nd place - Batting Center
﻿Oh, I see.
﻿I'm sure it will work for you.
﻿It's not like cooking slowly,
it's a good way to relieve stress.
﻿What? Are you looking down on cooking?
Huh?
Do the action like this
﻿Why is that kid watching a video?
﻿Well, how do I say it, she was suddenly in a bad mood
﻿She asked me to show her a batting demonstration
﻿I just found one online
She's upset? Why?
﻿I don't know
﻿Did you say something rude again without knowing?
﻿You really can't do that
I don't need to be told that by uncle
Excuse me...
﻿What is it?
﻿You won't be able to bat like a pro at the beginning,
how about trying it out for fun first?
﻿No, I want to hit the ball perfectly right from the start.
﻿Right now I'm trying to get input from observing the form of the best players.
﻿But it's not something you can do overnight, right?
﻿It takes a lot of practice.
﻿I can do it.
﻿Please wait.
Do you get the feeling that she might be some genius?
No, you can't get good just by watching
You might be right
That's strange, why can't I do it?
So, aren't you going say something to her like usual?
﻿You already know, what's troubling her
﻿That girl is a professional of a some kind
Eh, really?
﻿Yes, there is no mistake about it.
﻿That's great.
﻿You can tell just by the way she plays.
﻿Ah, I might be wrong, but I think she's a chef.
﻿What?
﻿Yeah, that's why she got angry.
Earlier, ﻿I said something bad about cooking and she suddenly got angry.
﻿So, she must be a chef, right?
﻿I see.
﻿How about you ask her for advice on how to cook?
Huh?
The both of you are bad in certain things
﻿What?
Batting isn't that different from cooking
﻿Learning from the professionals and then practicing is the most important
Leave it to me.
Yeah, well...
Hey wait
﻿You're a professional, right?
﻿Why do you say that all of a sudden?
﻿Could it be that you are a chef?
﻿Yes, that's right.
I knew it
How do you know?
﻿Because you have some cuts on your hands, so I know.
﻿Is it because of that? Not because of her form?
﻿Actually, this kid is learning how to cook.
﻿Stop it, stop it.
So you want to learn from a professional chef,
how's it going so far?
﻿It's been difficult.
﻿Why?
﻿I'm frustrated doing miscellaneous chores
﻿I got into this line when I was 20.
﻿A year later I'm still doing miscellaneous tasks
﻿You've been doing it for a year?
I'm so frustrated
All I've been doing is chopping and preparing vegetables
Vegetables huh, that's unpleasant
﻿The head chef still treats me like a dishwasher.
Senpai is always arrogant and says I'm stupid
﻿I don't get it at all
﻿Is it because I don't fit the restaurant policy?
﻿When I was studying in vocational school,
﻿I even won a prize in the national cooking competition
﻿To be honest, I think my performance is better than my senpais in the restaurant.
﻿The head chef knew this,
but he didn't let me use my strengths.
﻿But as they say, you can't beat a man at his own game.
﻿Yeah, right.
﻿I see.
To put it bluntly, there's no meaning to it
﻿I think it's more important to come up with innovative ideas.
﻿And I don't want to be like that idiot senpai
How many years do I have to keep doing this?
﻿I understand very clearly
﻿You understand me?
﻿Everything you just said is a total joke
﻿What?
﻿You're just clinging on to your stupid pride, right?
﻿No matter how well you dress up,
if you only complain, your face won't be radiant
﻿Hey uncle, what's the deal with you?
﻿Don't say stuff that doesn't make sense
Let me show you what I am talking about.
﻿My baseball theory.
﻿Life is baseball
Hey! What the hell is this?
This is not a game.
﻿I want you to see that
No way!
That's Kawasaki Mune
﻿Finally, an actual active player!! *(previous baseball players who appeared were all retired)
What's the meaning of this?
Come on, just take a good look at that man's body
﻿Why did you do that?
﻿What's the point?
﻿You think there's no point?
﻿I know what you want to say,
that slogging it out is actually cool, isn't it?
﻿You've been talking nonsense since the beginning.
So you think you have obtained the most important technique?
﻿So I don't mean that.
﻿To become a professional in a certain field
﻿It takes a lot of awareness and training.
﻿From the way you talk, act and look.
﻿I don't think you have enough skills.
﻿Skill is not in the mind but in the body.
﻿Just like defensive baseball, it has to be practiced countless times
﻿To gain muscle memory in the body, you need long discipline and a strong will to endure.
﻿Even if it looks repetitive, there is meaning to it.
﻿I'm working on it.
﻿What are you talking about?
﻿I said I'm working on it
﻿Every day, I'm trying to do all the troublesome preparation work.
﻿But the work doesn't get better.
﻿It's meaningless.
﻿That person is just repeating the same thing.
﻿It's all the same.
﻿Not the same
See it on the ground to understand
﻿Go!
Throw it to me
That's amazing
﻿He is not like you, he has a good expression
﻿Uncle
﻿What is it?
﻿Can I go to the field to see
﻿Yes, no problem.
Excuse me
﻿Since you're going to the outfield, you should collect the balls they threw
﻿Yeah, I'll go get it.
That's enough, I get it.
﻿You still don't know what you're doing.
﻿You should know what the difference is between you and him.
﻿So it's just a difference in perseverance, right?
﻿It's true that your perseverance is different from his.
﻿But it's more than that.
﻿The most important thing is hidden in this defensive practice.
Don't act all superior, just tell me what it is
﻿He repeatedly threw and caught the ball to check his weak points.
﻿From then on, he improved himself.
﻿That's the biggest difference between you and him.
Throw it to me, come on.
﻿That's a pro.
﻿He doesn't care about superfluous appearances
﻿Day by day, month by month
﻿You try your best with all your effort
﻿Why do you do this?
﻿Because
﻿I want to make baseball better
﻿Even as professionals, we have to consider all the circumstances.
Only iIf you accept it, then will you become a professional.
Actually, being a professional is not enough.
Is that so?
From the outside, it just looks like plain peserverance
﻿But from a closer look, he is working hard on his method
﻿Professionals from all walks of life
﻿Everyone is constantly refining themselves
And beyond that,
﻿glory is waiting for them.
﻿Too slow, hurry up.
﻿Sorry.
﻿But it's good that you've improved your knife skills.
I get the impression that you have changed
Huh, what?
﻿Nothing, hurry up and improve your skills,
otherwise your personality will be for nothing
﻿Thank you.
﻿Mai
﻿Are you here to visit?
﻿No
Please come in.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Hey Mai,
are you giving up or continuing? I'm not clear.
