Monica turns out to be a real challenge, as she is the Queen of Patisserie (revealed in manga to have won by default though). Monica adores junk food and candies, and we find out she is on the American team because Kirisaki promises to fulfill her dream to own a ‘Candy Castle’ if she wins. Suwabara isn't frightened though, and steps up to the challenge, revealing the wooden block carving to be something he's planned all along, for his Lupan #1: Pane di ori Kai. Monica dresses up in beach attire at the competition, hoping to try and dissuade Suwabara but he only rips off all of his clothing except for that covering his private spot, and both start baking in [relatively] no clothing.
