- Sanageyama: Satsuki-sama, that bento...?
- Satsuki: The other day I was in this room reading a strange magazine...
- Jakuzure: Oh, that was mine.
- Satsuki: Apparently, women have some special power, the "feminine power", and it seems like one of the ways to train for it is to make handmade bento.
- Satsuki: That way, I'm going to become stronger, much stronger than that Matoi Ryuuko!
- Inumuta: Satsuki-sama, there's no such thing as "feminine power"...
- Satsuki: Here, I prepared this homemade bento. Have a taste.
- Gamagoori: What! Satsuki-sama personally cooked for the Four Devas?!
- Sanageyama: I'm really grateful. Now, let's have a bite.
- *chomp*
- Gama Saru Inu Jaku: ...
- Satsuki: ...what?
- Sanageyama: T-that's amazing! As expected from Satsuki-sama! Exceptional cooking skills!
- Jakuzure: What can I say... OH YES! It's like nothing I've ever tasted so far.
- Inumuta: This fried egg... is very good, and cooked properly?
- Gamagoori: There's a good balance between the more neutral-tasting side dishes and the strong tasting ones. That's a unique way of thinking, Satsuki-sama.
- Satsuki: ....
- Satsuki: That's no good, I don't feel like I'm getting a good feedback from those four. Everyone does nothing but compliment me.
- Satsuki: I don't doubt it's delicious since I'm the one who made it but I'd like to hear a more honest impression.
- Satsuki: Or try feeding another person...
- Satsuki: But... everyone in this school submits to me. Whoever I'm going to feed, I'm only going to hear compliments...
- Satsuki: A student who doesn't submit to me...
- Satsuki: There's only been one.
- Mako: Yay, long-awaited lunch break! Time to eat our bento!!
- Mako: Eeh? There's no lunch?
- Ryuuko: You sure you didn't eat it earlier?
- Mako: Ah, right! But now I'm hungry again...
- Ryuuko: I have mine. I got the yatsudashi Mako's mom made for me.
- Mako: Ooh! That's okay... But, even then, Ryuuko-chan...
- Ryuuko: Well, I'm going to get some bread.
- *flare*
- Mako: ? This light...
- Ryuuko: No way...
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko...
- *buzz*
- Ryuuko: What d'you want? Kiryuuin Satsuki... you came all the way to this classroom, I thought you hadn't free time.
- Ryuuko: Lunchbreak's almost over and I still haven't bought the bread so, yo...
- Satsuki: I see... you didn't bring a bento, Matoi...
- Ryuuko: Uh... I always ask Mako's mom to make one for me but uh, today...
- Satsuki: Then I'm good. *points*
- Ryuuko: Eh? What is this package?
- Satsuki: Eat my homemade bento.
- Ryuuko: ...
- Ryuuko: Eh?
- *buzz*
- Mako: Sa-Satsuki-sama made a bento for Ryuuko-chan?!
- Satsuki: I didn't really make it for Matoi.
- Mako: Even more tsundere! Everyone~! Come over here~! Satsuki-sama is being tsundere for yuuko-chan over a homemade bento!
- Ryuuko: Oy, hey! Mako! Don't spread rumors that'll cause misunderstandings at school.
- Satsuki: You won't escape, Matoi! No one's allowed to leave this classroom until you eat my homemade bento!
- Ryuuko: Ugh, what's gonna happen next if I don't stop you now?!
- Satsuki: I knew it! This is more than a bento!
- Ryuuko: What is... this person...
- Ryuuko: So uh... can you cook?
- Satsuki: Who do you think I am. Even with almost no experience and with basic knowledge it's easy to make a bento if you have your mind set on it.
- Ryuuko: Why do I have a very bad feeling about this...
- *chomp*
- Ryuuko: ...
- Satsuki: What?
- Ryuuko: So, this is you trying to kill me in a roundabout way?
- Satsuki: ?
- Ryuuko: Let's start with the fried eggs! They're charred! First thing I noticed when I put it in my mouth!
- Ryuuko: Also, it doesn't taste like cooked food! You don't just let it simmer in hot water!
- Ryuuko: And this... meat... this meat... this meat, what the hell is this meat?! What is this taste?!
- Ryuuko: Potato salad! Too much salt and pepper! If I had to judge from the taste, it'd be a salad of salt and pepper!
- Ryuuko: If this can be called rice!
- Ryuuko: It needs to be boiled!
- Sanageyama: Satsuki-sama came back... she seems calm on the outside, but an unmistakable aura of great sadness is floating around her.
- Gamagoori: Perhaps she received some harsh criticism from the person who ate that bento...
- Jakuzure: No way, whoever ate it would've collapsed.
- Inumuta: It's the worst way to die.
- Sanageyama: It truly is.
- Sanageyama: Maybe.
- Next day
- Mako: Lunch break! Today I resisted until now for my bento! Ain't it great?
- Ryuuko: Isn't it usually? But, speaking of bento... yesterday's bento was so awful...
- Mako: Now that you mention it, I had gotten out of the classroom to spread around those unfounded rumors. What kind of bento was it?
- Ryuuko: It's a long explanation... first of all, it was...
- *flash*
- Mako: Ah! This light comes at almost the same as yesterday too!
- Ryuuko: Oi, no way...
- Satsuki: Matoi... Ryuuko...
- Ryuuko: Kiryuuin Satsuki... it can't be, surely... ?
- Satsuki: I made bento. Try it, please.
- Mako: What what! It continues on day two!
- Ryuuko: Oi, this won't be a total failure like yesterday, right?
- Satsuki: I feel at peace... I'm not a foolish human being who repeats the same mistakes...
- Satsuki: Yesterday I borrowed the home-ec classroom until late and practiced cooking.
- Ryuuko: Such effort, why don't you do it at home.
- Satsuki: Come on Matoi Ryuuko, eat my homemade bento!
- Ryuuko: If don't eat at least a bite I won't go back home... itadakimasu!
- Satsuki: And now tremble before the improvement of the great Kiryuuin Satsuki's culinary skills!
- Ryuuko: Oi, all you confused was the salt and the sugar. It's better than I expected.
- Ryuuko: She went back to walking tall.
- Mako: She was carrying sadness on her back while still looking dignified!
- Ryuuko: Damn it, what the fuck is she thinking? Suddenly bringing up that damn bento...
- Mako: I got it! She wants to reconcile with Ryuuko-chan, for sure!
- Ryuuko: Yeaaaah, it didn't really look like that.
- Mako: So it's tsundere!
- Ryuuko: There can't be such a pain in the ass of a tsundere.
- Satsuki: Why... why did I fail?
- Satsuki: How can I get stronger...Is there a way I can train to get the "feminine power"... *drop drop*
- Satsuki: Anything… magazine tips or something...
- Jakuzure: That magazine won't come back into my hands again...
- Satsuki: Uhm?
- Satsuki: What if I think of the person I'm preparing the food for... and prepare their favorite bento?
- Satsuki: That's it! *stands up*
- Jakuzure: "?!" *flinch*
- A day later
- *clang*
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko!
- Ryuuko. I'm gonna handle you and the goku uniforms one by one at the entrance of the school. And it's still early for lunchbreak.
- Mikisugi: I'd have a lesson to teach right now but hey...
- Satsuki: I understand. Today I didn't come to bring you lunch.
- Ryuuko: Man, what the hell!
- Satsuki: I'm gonna ask you directly! Tell me what's your favorite food!
- Ryuuko: Whatever I can fill my bento box with. Favorite food... favorite food... lemon?
- Satsuki: Alright! Good!
- Ryuuko: Yo, wa-
- Ryuuko: Why did I say that... now she's gonna put lemon in my bento...
- Mikisugi: Ah... I'm gonna try to resume my lesson for the time being...
- Satsuki: Hahaha... just wait, Matoi Ryuuko...
- Satsuki: Preparing a bento with your favorite food... and then, I'm going to exceed you! An overwhelming difference!
- Satsuki: I'm gonna practice in the home ec class before heading back home. Just you wait, Matoi...
- *hahaha* *matoi ryuuko~* *matoi~*
- Sanageyama: Satsuki-sama is cooking in the home ec room while calling a transfer student's name...
- Gamagoori: There are circulating rumors among the students that Satsuki-sama and the transfer student are having a love affair but... that's impossible...
- Inumuta: Nah, although that worries me too... how in the hell Satsuki-sama will create that food?
- Jakuzure: Grilled lemon... ?
- Next next day
- Satsuki: Matoi!
- Ryuuko: Ha, I was sure you'd come! Everyone in class already got used to it!
- Ryuuko: They really think we're in that kind of relationship! I'm serious!
- Satsuki: I've tried a lot of things at school and home but it was too hard and, as I expected, impossible to make a bento consisting mainly of lemons... forgive me.
- Ryuuko: I'd listen to those human stories. And of course I do.
- Satsuki: So, I tried to add the lemon to the salmon sauteed in butter. How about it?
- Ryuuko: I admit that your cooking skills are rapidly improving! But I have my emergency rainy day bento!
- Satsuki: But it took so long to make this...
- Ryuuko: Put some rice at the side at least. Ah, is it cooked properly?!
- The next day
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko! I made chicken in lemon sauce for lunch!
- Again, the next day
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko! Today's bento is sweet potatoes with lemon!
- Again, the next day
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko! For today's bento I've used lemon as a dressing for the salad!
- And again, the following day
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko! Today I made lemon pie for dessert, instead of the usual bento!
- Ryuuko: Before I knew eating her bento during my lunch break has become a daily routine...
- Mako: Even my mom has stopped preparing a bento for Ryuuko-chan at some point!
- Ryuuko: I planned to tell her, but... hell, how far have these rumors spread...
- *flash*
- Ryuuko: Ah, here she is.
- Satsuki: Matoi Ryuuko! Today I used the raw ingredients to make a lemon sorbet for dessert!
- Ryuuko: This isn't even about that annoying bento stuff anymore, she even went and brought a cooler box to lunch!
- Ryuuko: Ah... everyone around us would totally see a couple... how did this happen...
- Satsuki: What are you mumbling about, you're not hungry?
- Ryuuko: No... I'm hungry, I'm eating...
- *chomp*
- Ryuuko: Uh... it's...
- Satsuki: ?
- Ryuuko: You've... really become better at cooking.
- Satsuki: !
- Mako: Dere! Ryuuko-chan was dere towards Satsuki-sama!
- Ryuuko: N... dude, no. It's not like that!
- Mako: Typical tsundere behavior! Everyone, come over here! Ryuuko-chan is being dere towards Satsuki-sama because of the bento today too!
- Ryuuko: Here we go, spreading rumors!
- Satsuki: I... I understand. But it's not like I'm happy or anything... However, I'd lie if I said I'm not glad to be praised, either...
- Ryuuko: You're a shy one aren't you! You're a true lady! Your feminine power went up a lot since the beginning!
- Satsuki: !
- Satsuki: (Right, feminine power... I did it to increase that power that only women have... to top Matoi, my culinary skills have improved...!)
- Satsuki: (I almost forgot that preparing bento for Matoi was so much fun...)
- Satsuki: (But my cooking skills can only get me so far...)
- Satsuki: (To increase my feminine power further... I'm going to take the next step...)
- Satsuki: (Using the "step-ups to increase feminine power" that were on that magazine...!)
- Satsuki: Matoi, take these chopsticks.
- Ryuuko: Uh? What, you're not hungry? Here.
- Satsuki: ...
- *reaches*
- Satsuki: Aaan~
- Ryuuko: ?!
- End
