Plot[]
Franchouchou prepares their choreography for their new song and their plans for it. Kotaro approaches the girls while they ask him some questions about what their new choreography should be like, to which he replies that it is something they should do themselves. Since they can't agree, it's time for Kotaro to intervene and decide that they will now participate in a food fight where Franchouchou will prepare Sicilian rice.
The day of the contest has arrived, and the organizers are responsible for teaching the girls how to prepare rice, while they present “Sicily Ana”, a Kappa botarga, mascot and representative of the contest. When they present the pet, Tae pounces on the botarga, causing her to get scared, although as Saki remembers, it is not the first time, since Tae had previously done it during a past event. After the commotion generated by Tae, the contest begins, with Sicily Ana being the judge at Kotaro's request.
Saki and Yugiri have a secret plan: high-quality, luxuriously thick-cut saga beef, seasoned with a sweet and sour sauce that highlights the flavor of garlic, garnished with a bit of gold leaf. Sicily Ana tries Saki and Yugiri's luxury dish and gives it a high rating. Ai asks where she got the ingredients, to which Saki replies that while she was rummaging through the attic, she found an envelope with money that she used to buy the ingredients. Everyone's eyes immediately fall on Kotaro, who jumps on Saki, scolding her for stealing his secret money.
Ai and Sakura will now participate, this time with ingredients from the kitchen. With the idea of using little rice in mind, they will increase the vegetables and cut them in inventive ways. With their simple dish, it's time for Sicily Ana to try it, and after trying the dish she says that she loves it, much to Saki's frustration.
It's Lily, Junko and Tae's turn with their surprise Sicilian rice. Sicily Ana is surprised by the mountain of rice, to which Junko tells her that she should open it to see what's inside. Inside the surprise dish, there is all the meat and vegetables! Although it is not Sicilian rice per se, Sicily Ana seems to love it.
However, it is not the end of the contest, since the battle has not yet begun. Sicily Ana attacks the girls with sumo moves and throws them into the air while she yells at them that to win, they must all put their hearts and bodies into it. The girls understand that to win the food battle, they must team up together to prepare the best dish ever.
With the work of the group together, they prepare their last dish with all the ingredients and techniques that the group invented separately, enchanting Sicily Ana with the result. Franchouchou now understands that for their choreography, they can use all the group's ideas for their next song and focus on the basics. After learning to work and put their ideas together, Franchouchou has won this food battle!
The next day, Kotaro checks the newspaper and social media, where the food battle is receiving great support from fans. He is now preparing to give a new event at the mall, but realizes that Saki left him without money.
