Mayaka the star of this episode tbh.

But of course, Eru is also curious and those cute purple eyes says it all.

And what a cooking battle, Hyouka style with the curious Eru, enthusiastic Satoshi, and spunky Makaya. Great episode!

Sempai that childhood girl had argument with last ep. didn't care? And she asked her to do posters.

She finally got one person who's willing to help selling the magazine. The sempai from previous "movie" arc also taught her about how to take care stuff.

Cooking competition time! Wow @ Chitanda's cooking!! But she likes cooking to the extend that she used all the ingredients!! Childhood girl, with leftover ingredients and the powder the guy gave (he got from another club earlier), made fried shrimp don in 5 min.?!

Stolen thing again??

They are actually going to investigate that "Juumonji incident" next ep.

Next episode the investigation of the case about the stolen things begins, and Chitanda will use what he learned with Iris-senpai, it seems.

This episode clearly contains the essence of a school festival!!!

Chitanda used up all the ingredients.
Mayaka is so spunky and brimming of energy in this episode!

All the things that started from the fountain pen of Oreki converted to a pin to a gun to a wheat flour became so much useful! I knew there is something behind those conversion.

Probably on the next episode, hopefully can focus on those missing things.

Even though this is a "mystery" anime, it is episodes like this one that really make this anime what it is.

Although I wish that Oreki would have saved the day in a more dramatic way, by running all the way to the field to deliver the flour, but I guess that we shouldn't expect that from him.

Anyway, it seems that Chitanda will be employing her new "skills" next week! I can't wait, but she should use them only on Oreki! lol

Great ep~ I think this is probably the best presentation of a School cultural festival ive seen in any anime, as many people have said before it pays good of attention to detail and atmosphere. Those manga posters were nice :3 Also Oreki has helped so many people without even moving a step xD Mayaka<3

Though this episode made me really hungry -_-. Finally Oreki gets back into the spotlight next week :D

I like the slow build-up towards the next mystery. I think a lot of tiny details in the episodes we've seen so far are going to become relevant; remember the fuss down in the courtyard as Houtarou was leaning out the window in episode 12?

I had a feeling whatever was happening there at the time was going to be part of the mystery and student council president (I think) pretty much confirmed that in this episode, i.e. the stolen drink.

I'm looking forward to the next episode. Though I wonder how longer there're going to stretch this arc? I really want this series to end by tying up the loose ends of the first arc (i.e. the saga of Sekitani Jun), because you may have noticed, three questions remain unanswered.

SUGITA JUST MADE THIS EPISODE BY HIS "WATASHI KININARIMASU"

I enjoyed the whole episode. What a ride.

Loled at Eru and Irisu scene. Specially with that Irisu's "haaa". So hot. Poor Chitanda not even noticing that Irisu just trolled her.

Mayaka was just cute this episode. I really loled at Sugita's character. Can't stop laughing when I heard his voice specially with that mask his character is wearing. Great to see Misaki again! So moe! That devil cooking! I wonder what are they making lol.

Sugita's lines are just epic. "Intense fireeeeeee" "Fire Tower!!" His punchlines are always the best.

Oreki saves the day! LOL. Can't imagine he made the Classics Club won. He just sat there all day and passed the flour. Oreki with his full of effort shouting.

Finally, the mystery will begin again next episode. But this episode wasn't bad. I had so much fun.

You have not seen Yumeiro Patisserie.

Once again, the mystery doesn't seem like that big of a deal. A stolen ladle here, a stolen piece of a game there, a stolen drink. And all with notes saying they will be returned after the festival.

I am curious about who did it, but it isn't really that pressing of an issue.

I think that's part of the charm of this anime though. Nothing in this anime is really a pressing issue. However, I find myself in Eru's shoes going "I'm curious!" when I see the small, quaint mystery unveil themselves before the Classics Club.

I guess part of what makes this anime so interesting is it's much more realistic than your typical anime. There aren't any impossible scenarios, fighting mechs, children with superpowers...just four ordinary HS kids living out their daily lives...which this anime somehow makes interesting.

Irisu was an automatic win for this episode, even she couldn't resist Chitanda's eyes, I really want her to be part of the main cast but I have to live with the little screen time she gets.

Mayaka impressed me, she managed to do all that stuff in only seven minutes, loved the gestures Chitanda and Satoshi were making earlier.

What was going on with Misaki, was her dish even edible?!

This was another excellent, highly enjoyable episode!

The cooking contest was great, particularly Mayaka's contributions to it. The festival arc has been amazing. There's so much brilliant detail, energy, and beautiful animation in every episode. I'm hoping the conclusion is just as dynamic and interesting.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode, considering the mystery seems to take center stage.

Hehe looks of cuteness in this ep from Eru, Mayaka, and Irisu, the "haa!" was adorable, maybe Eru will make Irisu al dere dere, lol just kidding.

But seriously this anime really does have some of the best culture festival representation ever, really has that fun, togetherness, festive feel/atmosphere to it.
ON to the episode!!
Mayaka's club issue is solved(?) pending due to her not really caring while also knowing/remembering the title, loose thread #1,
Irisu passes on the knowledge of coercion to our pure Eru, oh the horror that awaits us(Oreki) all. He already couldnt resist her, hehe. Mayaka really got some spotlight this ep which was nice finally seeing her smile and out of her gloom/guilt.
Satoshi's cooking battle!!! looks like the advertisement for Classics club went well with all the commotion. But looks like he had his fill of fun with this one too.
Finally, the last boss makes her appearance! Eru s' really good at cooking the daikon was amazing, the peeling cooking like four dishes, *clap clap* (that kinda sounded sarcastic, hmm not meant to be)
but really shes really awesome at cooking, another one of her amazing talents!
And Oreki in true faith of his motto only exerting effort to call Satoshi over to save the day, hehe.
But really that good luck charms really coming in handy, eh? It was funny seeing Oreki get worked up too though, hehe.
Connections seem to be really important this time, what with all the trading and then the thefts, hmm, well we'll see!?
lol, in the preview we see Eru putting her new skills to work, wonder what for an ad? or for the mystery?

O, and also Misaki! she was adorable in this ep, with her dark cooking and evil little laugh hehe haha!
well, heres til next week for the next episode! Can't wait!!!~

I was thinking the same thing: "How could it get better, it is pure perfection!" Yet somehow, it continues to improve!

Did Chitanda really need a tutorial on how to get what she wants? She has those amazing eyes! Nobody can resist them! LOL!

Mayaka was fantastic in this ep. Chitanda's cooking is amazing! She is destined to go from alluring, curious school girl with amazing eyes to Yamato nadeshiko when she is an adult! :)

Well I enjoyed that cooking challenge quite a bit more than expected.

Anyway this episode didn't add too much to the mystery besides the ladle and a reference back to the stolen drink. Still, like the previous episodes the lively atmosphere was still there which is probably half the reason why I'm enjoying this arc as much as I am.

Looking forward to seeing which direction they take the mystery.

Really fun episode this week. It seems like this was the end of Oreki's trading business... unless he saved one of the bags of cookies.

Anyways who is Jumanji? And now another thing went missing... the Laddle from the WildFire cooking competition.

I wonder if Mayaka's manga will show up eventually as well...
Next weeks episode seems to involve the Ex-Newspaper editor and Chitanda in a room together. hmm... interesting

Loved this ep.

Felt like I was watching Master Chef or something lol. And I agree with everyone about this being the best school festival in any anime. Seriously, this is a school festival done right!

Man, Eru would make an amazing wife. Step up your game Oreki!

Also did anyone else notice Lelouch's VA? He was the guy that Satoshi was talking to early in the ep.

These festival episodes are definitely the best parts of this show. Since it seems another mystery is coming up, even though they're doing much better with the slice-of-life, I have a feeling I'll be disappointed once again. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

If you listen closely it sounds just like him. Mazui even said there were 2 top seiyuu guest appearances this ep :P

Still not sure who's the second one though.
