Xue
Thank you very much!
Shop Owner
Wang-san, it must be tough after just being ill. Good work. You can go take your break now.
Xue
Is that okay? Thank you very much. Then I'll take my break.
Xue
Phew, I'm tired. As expected, I'm getting more fatigued than usual...
Xue
...
Xue
(They went out of their way to make a bento for me...I made them worry too much.)
Xue
...Geez. What a bunch of meddlesome people. Well, it was probably Hikari or Germany who came up with the idea.
Xue
...
Xue
I've worked this much, yet I don't have much appetite.
Xue
I shouldn't have gotten sick in the first place, haah...
Xue
But since they went to the trouble of making it...I might as well eat it.
Xue
Oh...it's a more proper bento than I expected. The arrangement is questionable, but the colors are good and it looks tasty.
Xue
Let's start with these carrot strips. This is from Hikari's hometown, I think...was it shiri carrot?
Hikari
What I make is Okinawan home cooking, carrot shiri-shiri. I love it too, and I always end up eating too much!
Xue
...What is this?
Xue
The strips are a bit rough, and it has a strange taste. The sweetness is just right, so it's easy to eat, but...
Xue
This is bang bang chicken. So they were conscious of China. ...Hm!? This smell is bean curd with chilli!
Lilja
Ramo, for Xue this spice is the taste of home. I understand, since she's recovering we'll keep the spiciness mild.
Xue
cough cough! W-water...water!
Xue
The chicken is dry, and it's spicier than I expected. This sauce was probably made by Finland...
Ramona
When it comes to body friendly cooking, simmered fish is the way to go. To warm Xue's body, I'll use plenty of ginger.
Xue
...Yes, this is good.
Xue
The flavor has soaked in well, and what's more, I'm glad for the ginger. My body is warming up...
Xue
The only one who could pull off such a thoughtful dish would be Koyomi-san. Or perhaps it was Germany after all. She's always being overly considerate.
Xue
And this omelette. It looks the most beautiful, I have high expectations.
Koyomi
I need to rely more on intuition...! Yajima said being true to myself is important!!!
Xue
...This isn't really to my taste.
Xue
The omelette is thin and easy to eat, and the texture of the green beans is good. However, this red sauce-like thing doesn't suit me.
Xue
Oh well...neither the taste nor the appearance can compare to the food I make.
Xue
Each item is oddly shaped and the colours are awkward. The taste is completely different from what I usually eat.
Xue
But...
Xue
(Looking closely, they've made things soft or thin...they've tried to make it easy to eat.)
Xue
(Plus there are some nostalgic flavors...they must have thought a lot about me.)
Xue
munch munch ...!
Xue
nom! munch! chomp! munch!
Xue
Damn it...what is this...!
Xue
(What I make is much tastier...! It's just some cooking challenged people who made typical amateur cooking...!)
Xue
(Right now, their meddling just makes me...so happy.)
Xue
sniff
Xue
Ah!
Xue
N-no good! If they saw me like this, they'd laugh at me!
Xue
Pull yourself together, Wang Xue! After your break, you still have more work to do...!
Xue
nom munch
Xue
Thank you for the meal!
Xue
...Right.
Xue
Let's push through a bit more!
