EP.9 'No-Till!? Soybean Cultivation'
In EP.9, Soy and her friends meet 'Inari-jii' who is sowing seeds in a field. What is depicted there is a soybean cultivation scene that is a little different from the fields everyone knows.
Through a scene where Soy asks, 'Could it be no-till farming?', the episode focuses on production methods that reduce environmental impact. While enjoying the story, viewers can naturally learn about the background of soybean farming and agricultural innovations.
After sowing the seeds, everyone gathers in the cafeteria for a soybean dish party. It's an episode where they can once again feel the value of soybeans that support our dining tables, along with gratitude to the earth and farmers.
EP.10 'Deliver to Everyone! SOY DANCE'

Soy, imagining how cells move, gets an idea. 'How about creating a song and dance to spread it?' And so, the classmates work on creating an original song and dance.
