Hikari
Lilja-san. Is this size good enough?
Lilja
Since Xue has a cold, making it a bit smaller might be easier to eat.
Hikari
I see~ Then about this size?
Lilja
Yes, bitesized should be good.
Lilja
...Looks delicious.
Hikari
Would you like to taste one?
Lilja
Is that okay?
Hikari
Yes, say ahh.
Lilja
munch Delicious.
Koyomi
Still, this is such a Hikari-san-like idea. Making a bento together for Xue-san.
Ramona
I'm still a bit worried whether the bento we make will really be good for Xue...but when Koyomi says that, it somehow gives me confidence.
Lilja
To add beauty...should we add edible chrysanthemums?
Hikari
Edible flowers!? C-can we buy those at department stores!?
Ramona
Haha, if you want to add color, I think Xue would be happier with some green and yellow vegetables.
Ramona
...Hm, ah! Hikari! The heat is too high!
Hikari
Wah, sorry!
Hikari
Phew, that was close...
Hikari
Looking at it now, the reason we could make hot pot so quickly every time was because Xue was with us.
Ramona
Yes, it makes me keenly aware again of how much Xue has been doing for us.
Lilja
Xue's cooking is very skilled.
Koyomi
My goodness, we've only just started making the bento. It's important to stay focused while cooking too.
Ramona
Come to think of it, I've never seen Koyomi cooking even during Christmas parties or cherry blossom viewings.
Hikari
Yeah, it's refreshing!
Lilja
Koyomi, the apron suits you.
Koyomi
Th-thank you.
Ramona
From how you look, can you actually cook, Koyomi...?
Koyomi
Well, I don't do it regularly, but I can manage about as well as most people... I confirmed with the servants yesterday, and they said there shouldn't be any problems.
Hikari
Oh~ I'm looking forward to it~!
Koyomi
The omelette needs about this much heat. Cut the green beans, add them in...
Hikari
Amazing! Koyomi-san, you're so efficient!
Lilja
Beautiful technique, just like Xue.
Ramona
You're so devious, Koyomi~! If you can cook this well, I'd want you to serve us dishes regularly!
Koyomi
I told you this is only for today. This looks good, let me taste it.
Koyomi
Hmm...I feel like something is missing.
Hikari
Missing? You mean this open omelette you're making? It looks really delicious though.
Koyomi
No. The open omelettes that my household servants make have something more, something that captivates one's heart just by looking at it.
Lilja
munch munch The taste is fine too. I think this is more than enough.
Koyomi
Ah...! I understand now!
Hikari
Koyomi-san suddenly pulled out something red from nowhere!?
Lilja
She's chopping it up...? Wait, now she's putting it in a blender?
Ramona
K-Koyomi? What's suddenly come over you?
Koyomi
I remembered! The servants would finish it with a vibrant red sauce!
Ramona
Um...are you sure about this? Lilja said it was already delicious enough as it was.
Koyomi
Don't worry. I'll create a dish here that's perfect in both appearance and taste!
Koyomi
-I think they sprinkled something like basil around here...
Ramona
I-is that so...?
Koyomi
I need to rely more on intuition...! Yajima said being true to myself is important!!
Ramona
(Being true to herself...? I'm getting a bad feeling about this. But Koyomi said she confirmed with the servants yesterday, didn't she?)
Koyomi
For the finishing touch, vigorously splash the sauce...hiyah!
Ramona
(Well, I'm sure I'm overthinking.)
Ramona
The omelette is ready. It looks about right...I guess.
Lilja
It looks beautiful, but it doesn't taste good.
Hikari
Ahaha...i-it's okay, Koyomi-san! If you don't think of it as an omelette, it might be edible...yeah.
Koyomi
No way...I was copying what the servants do! Where did I go wrong...
Ramona
(She probably remembered it incorrectly...or the servants couldn't point it out.)
Ramona
To think that Koyomi couldn't cook...
Hikari
That was unexpected...and the apron looked so good on her.
Ramona
We'll have to proceed by researching with Hikari...I need to steel myself...!
Lilja
A thorny path... Good luck to both of you.
