>Hmm...

>I'm running late again today.
>It's been happening a lot lately...

>Hm...?
>The apartment building next door...

>Um... What's going on here?
>Ah, it looks like there's a fire on the fourth floor...

>Apparently... they were cooking something and took their eye off for just a second.
>Uwah... Sounds bad...

>I need to be careful too...
>I'm home~

p2
>>A small fire's starting in my sweet home!?

p3
>Hah...

>I got banned from using the stove...
>Ahaha...

>It was just one little flame... That Ruka-chan's such a worrywart.
>>Manager
>Indeed.
>>Fellow part-timer Hana-chan
>No...

p4
>This is actually the third time...
>This happens regularly!?

>The first time was during the spring...
>Heh~

>You can make smoked food using cardboard!!

>Let's try it out~

p5
>...It was something like that!
>I see...

>Wh-What happened the second time?

>The second time was during the summer...
>Look, Ruka!
>Hmm?

p6
>It says you can make simple cookies in a frying pan!
>Heh~ It does look easy!
>Let's try making some!

>Hmm.

>They're not looking very baked to me...

>Ah, I know. Let's try torching them.

p7
>And that's how that turned out...

>H-Huh?
>What's with those faces, you two...?

>Ritsu-chan.
>Yes?

p8
>Starting today, you're banned from entering the kitchen.
>Eh?

>N-No way... I was hoping you'd let me practice at the store.
>No... Give us a break...

>There's no need to use fire for that.
>B-But...
>Yep yep

>For example,
>you can do this...

p9
>to make carpaccio.
>Looks delicious~!

>What do you think? This would work right?
>Yeah, this would...
>Ah.

>Come to think of it, she banned me from using kitchen knives too...
>Why!?

>A while ago, I hit Ruka directly in the face with a potato while doing prep...
>That takes skill...

p10
>So you can't use knives either... Hmm...
>That does make things hard...

>Ruka's been so busy as of late.
>I want to help her, even if just a little bit...

>!

>Manager?
>...

>In that case...

>I'm home~

p11
>Ritsu?

>What's up? Were you so hungry that you waited for me in the kitchen?
>No!

>This is revenge!

>This time for sure, Ruka,
>I'll make you a delicious meal!

>I mean... You don't have to force yourself...
>I don't want the place to burn down.
>I'm not gonna burn anything!

p12
>I won't use any pans or knives!
>That okay with you?

>Hmm, well... I guess...
>No! No interfering from you!

>Now then.

>Let's get all these chopped up.
>I'm getting worried...

p13
>Don't worry! I can chop all of these!
>Oh?

>I see. You've thought this through.
>Hmhmm.

>This way, I can speed through the ingredients without cutting my fingers, right?
>True. All you have to do it pinch your fingers.
>Why are you assuming I'll make a mistake!?

>Once we're done chopping, I put the mince, mushrooms and other ingredients into a bag...

p14
>and squish!

>Squish!

>Squish!
>Nothing but squishing.

>Squi-
>...
>>Squish
>EEEP!

p15
>What are you doing?
>Agagagagagaga

>Your meat just looked so squishable that I...
>Shut up!

>Anyway! I'll get upset the next time you butt in!
>Ah, it doesn't bother me.
>Well it bothers me!
>...
>>squish
>HYAH

>...
>>Hands tied up
>Okay, next...

p16
>We snip the corner of the bag...

>and squeeze it out.
>Ooh~

>I just
>gotta
>squeeze this
>into six

>even
>bits...

>Huh?
>This is surprisingly hard.
>...

p17
>You're like a newborn horse (lol)
>Just go away!!

>After that...
>the work continued...

>It's ready!

p18
>Bulked tsukune with enoki mushrooms,
>made with knives or a stove!

>Amazing... Ritsu made something that looks delicious without setting the place ablaze...
>That's a few words too many.

>All the ingredients were chopped with scissors
>and everything was cooked in the microwave.

>This way, I can make something whenever you're busy, right?
>!

p19
>You're always looking after me so,
>you can rely on me once in a while.

>Yeah.
>I guess so...

>Shall I try one?
>Ah, sure!

>Hmm...
>The soy sauce smells nice...

>Let's dig in.

p20
>Mm!

>H-How is it?
>Mmm

>It's good.
>Really?
>Yeah.

>For now...

p21
>As something for when I'm busy
>or when I just feel like relying on you, it's delicious.

>...!
>Sure. Leave it to me.

>But still, I think an egg would go well with this.
>Ah, I forgot.

>I thought about that, so I made some.
>Heh, you're well prepared.
>It's cooking in the microwave, so it's almost...

p23
>...I-
>It's ready.

>...
>Ritsu.

>Let's have a little chat, shall we?
>Hyes...

>I got banned from using the microwave too.
