" If we train her, honing her skills as a chef to the very utmost of her considerable ability...
... then it's possible we could delay the day the storm takes her.
We must raise Erina to be the greatest chef the Nakiri Family has ever produced! And to do so, we must find them! Find the perfect rocks that will polish her to a mirror shine...
A Veritable Generation of Diamonds!
Professor Hayama. I hear your student Shiomi has found an intriguing boy overseas."
"S-Sir Senzaemon! How did you...?!"
"Oh, I simply happened to overhear it.
Have you thought of bringing that boy to Japan and enrolling him here?"
"What?! B-but, sir! Not only is Akira a foreigner, he's an orphan of unknown origins! Is such a thing even possible?!"
"I will speak with the Ministry of Justice. Whether it be through bribery or sheer force...
I will see to it that they grant Akira Hayama Japanese citizenship."
"Darling...
You know that boy from the harbor pub?
Now Alice is insisting that he come with her back to Japan, and she won't listen to reason.
Father is right. For Mana's sake...
... I will help him with his plan.
If Alice wants to bring Ryo Kurokiba, then so be it! He will learn at Totsuki alongside her!
I've heard all the rumors about them, you know. So you have not one but two highly talented nephews?
How wonderful! Their futures look bright indeed.
Say... have you thought of sending them to our Institute? I'm sure the Aldini Brothers would do well there."
"Okay, okay. You win. Geez. Stubborn old coot.
But don't come crying to me...
... if Soma flips the tables on your grandkid and uses her as a steppingstone."
Competing against Erina just may destroy the confidence of these children, but so be it! I'm fully aware that this plan is an imperious use of my power for personal gain...
... but I'm willing to make any sacrifice!
I will do whatever it takes to make Erina into a light of hope!
Then I will show her to Mana...
Through her own daughter she will see...
... that there is yet hope and promise in cooking!" "
