Cooking is about love - 1

[The day before the picnic]

[Supermarket, food aisle]

Chi: How did it come to this... Why am I...

Its: Chikage-san, what sides should we pack in the lunches?

Chi: Whatever you want...

Its: Onee-chan's favourite dish is... Do you think udon can work in a bento lunch?

Chi: Yeah sure, why not...

Its: But what about the soup? ...Ah, I could make fried udon!

Chi: Sure I guess...

Its: Chikage-san, why don't you pick something too? Some food Takashima-san would like?

Chi: Takashima-san...

Its: Yeah. We two have the special right of making the favourite food of the people we love now, and we alone.

Chi: You have a point... In that case, karaage and hamburg steak and...

Its: Sounds good! Also omurice and pepper steak...

Chi: Takashima-san also liked nikujaga and roasted fish... I think.

Its: Thats... a whole lot of dishes. You'll teach me how to make them, right?

Chi: I might've forgotten to mention this but... I can't cook, at all.

Its: Eeh!? R-Really!? Then... Let's both begin learning from the scratch!

Chi: That's some optimism... You're similar to Inubouzaki-san in that regard.

Its: Ehehe, really? I'm a little happy to hear that.

Chi: But we amateurs won't be able to handle so much work. It'd be better to buy ready-to-eat side dishes and instant food...

Its: No way. If we do that, our feelings won't come through.

Chi: Feelings?

Its: Onee-chan always tells me that cooking is about love. That the person who cooks food pours their feelings into it.

Chi: There's love... in food?

Its: Are you planing to give Takashima-san the love of the old lady from the supermarket? Is that okay with you?

Chi: T-That's... not okay.

Its: Chikage-san, let's try to make food with our love in it and pack it into the lunches!

Chi: Got it. I'll do what I can. Cooking is... about love.
