Midareta Futari no Mitasare Gohan ch12 (end)

Senpai~ I've finished tidying up.
Ooh, thanks.

Well then, let's go drinking!
I'm starving~
Hah~
Here~
I wanna go get yakiniku!

Naturally...

you'll be coming too, right, Hikami-senpai!?
Eh!?

Teach us more delicious ways to eat things~
You were amazing back at the temple fair!
No, no!
I can't eat yakiniku at this hour!

Since she's been exposed, she gets an invite.

Eating it for just a day won't make any difference.
It'd be way more exciting with you around, Hikami.
Kh...
I-I swore I wouldn't eat anything after 10pm...

Another time, okay!?
Ah, she escaped!
Geez! Next time for sure then~!

That's a promise!
I'll look up some good places!
Let's eat something yummy together next time~!

...Sure!

Hm?

Ah...!

Mori Pro Research Students Madoka
Flora Nationwide Tour Confirmed~!

They're finally going nationwide, huh...!
Wah~
Amazing! Congratulations!

Runa

Thank you!!

Madoka

Are you free at the end of the month, Runa-chan?
I found this good Italian place so you come celebrate with me<3

Rie - No fair, Madoka~ I wanna play with Runa-chan too!
Mana - I found a place I wanna go to with Runa too. You free?
Karin - Runa-chan, let's go clothes shopping together before the tour<3
Madoka - Hey! I'm first!
Rie - I wanna hang out with Runa too!
Yuyu - Runachi~ Wanna throw a pizza party with me?
Madoka - I said I'm first!
Wawah!?

Wh-What do I do...?

Hm?

Wah!?

What happened here!?
Ah! Hikami-san!

Hey, hey!
Let's have a gyopa right now!
A what now!?

A gyoza party! Gyopa for short!
A girl in class said it was fun~!
O-Oh, a gyoza party.
I have ingredients.

But I don't have a hotplate.
Heh?
Is that a problem?

You can't really throw a party without one...
Eeeh!?

I-Isn't there another way!?
Hm...
A frying pan doesn't really give off a party vibe...
Boo boo~
No way~! I wanna have a party!

What do I do?
Who can I borrow from at this hour...?

Ah.

And like! This model right here has three layers of fluorine coating which makes it harder to burn things and provides it with extra abrasion resistance!
What's more, the heaters inside are arranged like a W instead of a U, which transmits heats to the entire plate evenly!

On top of that, the plate is treated with minute bumps so it's got way more affinity with oil than conventional hotplates~
Stop!

Maybe you should introduce yourself first!
Okay!?
O-Oh right!
Nice to meet you. I'm Hiiragi Reo.

I'm in the same company as Hikami-san, affiliated with the equipment management department... Ah, by equipment, I mean stuff like cameras, lighting and microphones, and my job mostly involves lending or maintaining them. I personally love that I get to maintain all sorts of equipment, but the equipment I like in particular is...

blah blah blah blah blah

B-Basically, she's my underclassman at work!

We sometimes eat lunch together.
!?

You eat lunch together...!?
Hiiragi-san's amazing.
She knows everything about cooking electronics.
Not at all.
It's my babies that are amazing.

She put on a temple fair at work the other day too...
Eh? A temple fair!?
Amazing~
Grr...

Ah, and these are Koizumi Ichika-san and Sudou Yuki-sa-...
Hikami-san! Hurry up and teach us how to make it!

I... wanna make amazing gyoza!
L-Let's get started then.

...And then
you make some creases like this and...

There! It's done!
Ooh~!

Amazing! It's just like gyoza from a restaurant!
Wah~
Fufun~
The trick is to use slightly less filling than you think you'll need!
Grr...

Okay, me too...

Tada~!
Were you even listening!?

It's turning into a riceball.
It's cute how round it is, huh♪

In order to replicate Hikami-senpai's gyoza...
Hm?

Creases roughly 3mm thick, approximately 18 grams of filling...
The amount of water needed for sealing can be roughly estimated from the list of ingredients, so I should moisten my hands before wrapping the gyoza swiftly...
She's up to something!

It's gonna be daytime before that gyoza gets made!
Hmm...
The plate's surface temperature should be raised to about this much before frying...
She's not listening.

Hah
There's no telling when we'll get cooking at this rate...
Are you done yet, Miss Landlady?
Ah...

I-I'll be done in a minute...
Oh dear.

Isn't that too much filling?
I thought it'd be tastier with lots of meat...
Aah!

Ichika-chan's is a mess!
Ah, hey!

I-It's not a mess!
Look, mine's pretty, right?
Mine's a pro♪

I've never seen a weird shape like that!
It's not weird!
It is!
Is not!
When laying them on the plate, they should be arranged like...
Are gyoza parties always this much trouble...?

p10

Phew...

W-We finally made it this far...
Hah~...

Teaching people how to make gyoza is hard.

But...
That's good!
Keep it up!

...Fufu.
Is something wrong?

Well... making gyoza with this group of four
is pretty weird now that I think about it.

p11

She has a point...
But it's fun, so it's all okay!
I get to eat yummy food after all!

If it weren't for what happened back then...
I'd probably never be eating with others like this.

Miss Landlady connected my fate to everyone.

...Thank you, Miss Landlady.
Eh?

It's fine!
I promised I'd make something amazing!
She's making a Hikami-san gyoza right now!
Wha-

No, that wasn't what I was...
Hey, the meat's spilling out!
Hey, let's cook 'em up already~!

p12

Wah!

It's gyoza!!
All it needs is a little color!

Here you go, Hikami-senpai.
Ah, no, I...

...No.
I guess today is fine.
Let's eat!

Okay, everyone.
Let's dig in!

p13

Mmm~
The umami of the meat... The scent of the chives and garlic... I can't get enough!
The wrapping is crispy and springy too!
The meat juices are like Niagara Falls~!
Look at this beautiful frying. That's my baby for you...

How's my gyoza!?
It's hard to eat since it's person-shaped...
It's delicious, though...
Hikami-san, try my one too!

Hm?
What's this hard thing...?
I brought it from home!

Truffle!

p14

A-A whole one!?
Mama and Papa always enjoy eating it.
I-I can't bring myself to eat it in more ways than one...

I actually put chocolate in one too!
Eat up!
Aah! Sounds good. A sweet gyoza...

Wait! This is meat and chocolate mixed together!!
A girl in class said it was delicious.
I think she meant chocolate on its own!

Geez~ They're so free.
Hah~
Fufu
But it certainly fits a gyoza party.

True.
Stuff like this is the true charm of a party.

Okay! Let's keep 'em coming!

p15

Huh? Are you full already?
No...

I'm tired of gyoza.
Eh!?
Yeah.
Isn't there anything else in your place, Ichika-chan?

I only have gyoza right now.
Then what about Hikami-san's place!?
Even you ask me that...

I'll go take a look!
Me too!
Ah! Hey!
I really don't have anything!

p16

See?

All I have are salad ingredients.
You're right.

But Hikami-san is a wizard, so...
I'm not that almighty!

I can't make anything special with just this...
Hmm...
But I think if there was one more thing...

Ah.

That's it...!

Sweet Basil

Do we have any gyoza wraps left?
Eh? Yeah.
In that case...

p17

Thanks for waiting!

Take the gyoza wraps,
top them with ketchup, cherry tomatoes,
and pizza cheese...

and lastly, a dash of torn up basel...!

The mini pizzas are ready!
It's pizza!!

It's really nothing special, though...
It smeels great...

p18

It's crispy and melty~!
The basil gives it a refreshing hit!
It's like the great meadows of Moravia.
M-Meadows?

What a great palate cleanser, Hikami-senpai!
It's put me in the mood for more gyoza!
Me too!

Then let's keep cooking!
Yay~

They're right...
The acidity of the tomato gives it a great accent!
With this combination, I can keep eating forever.
It's like...

p19

a gyopa that gyoz-on for all eternity!

p20

I-I can't eat another bite...
Hah~...
Hah~
I'm stuffed...

Aw man...
I went and ate it.

Oh well.
Whatever.

p21

There's been many times
where I've held back only to have regrets after eating...

But compared to before I met Miss Landlady
it's way more fun now.
Eating delicious things
is great, huh!

Let's eat lots of things from now on!
Together!

Sure!

p22

Then let's start right now,
with a dessert party!
!?

That's a lot...
Oh yeah!
I forgot we bought all that along with the gyoza ingredients!

You're gonna eat too, right, Hikami-san?
Eh?
I-I should be heading home soon...

You're not going home!

You did say "sure", after all!
I take it back!!
Let's all eat together!

From now on too, these two will eat and be satisfied<3
