(Carmela Info)

The doppel of customer-gathering. Its form is propane. The master of this emotion is displeased with this Doppel, which can only produce poisonous meals due to the toxins that seep from its body. This Doppel uses the burners on the ends of its jellyfish-like tentacles to cook absolutely any ingredients into delicious poison meals, and forces its customers to enjoy a long stay in the seats that furnish its spherical glass head. The meals cooked by this witch have minds of their own, and are proactive in making surprise visits to customers' stomachs, which makes it possible to enjoy one's meal just by sitting in place. Incidentally, the meals may be poisonous, but they taste very good. But despite their taste, they make abundant use of suspiciously-produced ingredients, including mystery meat from unknown sources, moaning vegetables, and fruit that walks around on its own.

(Manaka's Side Story)

Kyubey watches as Manaka makes a meal. Manaka asks if he's having fun watching her. Kyubey says it's just because Manaka has the potential to become a magical girl. Manaka narrates that her home is a Western-style restaurant named Walnuts. Manaka grew up idolizing her father, the restaurant's chef, and wants to follow in his footsteps. After Manaka finishes cooking, she realizes she's made too much. Manaka then narrates that Walnuts used to be a glamorous high end restaurant, but now only "odd-balls" come. Kyubey asks Manaka where her father went. Manaka says he left to get ingredients, prompting Kyubey to ask why he has no customers.

Manaka scolds Kyubey, calling him a tanuki. Kyubey says he isn't one, and Manaka says she was just insulting him. Kyubey offers Manaka a contract, but Manaka says she won't put her faith in "the magic of some sketchy-looking white tanuki". Manaka says she's chasing after a fresh start with her father: The entrance exam for St. Lillianna Academy. Manaka explains to Kyubey that St. Lillianna is a school filled with all kinds of prominent young women. Manaka says if she enrolls she can learn to cook like a high class lady, and make her restaurant popular in high society. Kyubey says that Manaka has a low chance of passing her entrance exam, due to her low grades.
