Two quick notes on this chapter. First, I decided to go with the .1, .2, etc. numbering convention, so the next chapter will be 8.2 (This was a decision I was dreading having to make given that I just followed the volume number rather than what Mugiwara is doing and just counting the chapters in order for my own sanity. I dunno how he doesn't lose track, but I trust that he won't).

The second is a technical note on the translation. As all of you that have been following know, I do use an MTL. One thing that the machine does have trouble with is names. The boxer of the story was given several different names (Sazaya, Sazayama, Sawayama, etc). So, I have no idea which was the correct one, so I just guessed and used the one that appeared most often. If it's not correct, let me know and I'll edit the pages when I can.

Honestly, I'm backing Yamaoka in that last panel. Sure, Yamaoka should want to help and sometimes he acts high and mighty but this really is not one of hose times. Yamaoka ain't a magician. Coming up with a luxurious, lavish and delicious yet low-calorie dish just isn't smth a chef can whip up. I am interested in whatever solution he comes up with in the next part but I really dislike Yamaoka being the borderline magical solution every single damn time.

I guess we’ll see. It seems like everyone’s gotten so used to Yamaoka just coming up with a solution every time that they just expect he’ll know what to do.
