What happens when secret agents order lunch and cyber Armageddon strikes? Chaos.
Under Anchor Headquarters is strictly off limits to all outsiders to protect the confidentiality of their activities. However, one day at lunchtime, Chigusa allowed the agents to "deliver", and this iron rule collapsed. Each of them was excited about the first event and asked for what they liked. However, the Chinese restaurant that received a sudden large order took a lot of time to cook, and there is no sign that it will arrive even after the lunch break. With so much hunger and impatience, the agents gradually get angry. Meanwhile, the news of a large-scale cyber attack arrived at the Kasumigaseki Central Information Management Center. (Director's cut of episode 35 of the Cellphone Investigator 7 TV show).

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cellphone Investigator 7 was a 2008-2009 Japanese tokusatsu series where agents used phones to transform—this episode's mundane lunch crisis subverts that entire premise.
The 'first dream of the new year' (hatsuyume) is traditionally auspicious in Japan, making this title deeply ironic for an episode about hunger and cyber disaster.
