- "Shizumi Konoha's Weakness"
- *I, Shizumi Konoha, grew up in the Azalea House.*
- *Together with Yusa Hazuki and Mikuri Ayame, we became magical girls.*
- Hazuki: "Nothing can stand up to you, Konoha."
- Ayame: "As expected! Konoha can do anything!"
- *I am the oldest of the three of us.*
- *I manage our finances.*
- *I've made the decisions about fighting and how to live.*
- *It's one thing saying so myself, but I think I'm pretty good at everything.*
- *I will devote my entire self so for the sake of the three of us.*
- *That's how much resolve I have.*
- *But...*
- *Even with that much resolve and hard work, there is something I was unable to reach...*
- *This is a wall that I, Shizumi Konoha, must overcome.*
- *A story of conquering myself...*
- [the phone rings]
- Konoha: "Hello, who is it?"
- Hazuki: "Ah, Konoha?"
- "Sorry, but you should eat dinner before I get back."
- "The class representative meeting is going long and I can't duck out of it."
- Konoha: "Is that so? I should have dinner with Ayame then?"
- Hazuki: "Yep, go order some takeout or something!"
- Konoha: "But that'll cost more money..."
- Hazuki: "Take it out of my share for the day! It's my fault, after all."
- "I'm sure Ayame will enjoy it."
- Konoha: "Alright. Take care coming home."
- Hazuki: "Yep! Well then, see you later."
- Ayame: "Was that Hazuki on the phone?"
- Konoha: "Yes, today Hazuki will be coming home late."
- Ayame: "Ehh? Then what'll we do for dinner?"
- Konoha: "..."
- "...I will make it."
- Ayame: "You will make dinner?"
- Konoha: "Yeah, you haven't tried my home cooking, have you?"
- Ayame: "That's right, I haven't tried it before..."
- "But have you ever cooked before?"
- "Hazuki told me 'Don't let her cook'..."
- Konoha: "Uhh..."
- Ayame: "But now I'm curious about your cooking."
- "Let's eat Konoha's homemade food!"
- Konoha: "Thank you! I'll try to make it as delicious as possible!"
- Part 2
- starts off with Ayame whimpering
- Hazuki shows up: "I'm home! Wait, Ayame!?"
- Ayame weakly says "welcome... home..."
- Hazuki: "Wait, did she really..."
- Konoha: "Well, she... said it tasted good."
- "She ate it all! But after she ate it she started feeling sick..."
- Hazuki: "All of it!??! She ate everything you made!?"
- Ayame: I... ate it...
- Hazuki thinking to herself: "No way she'd tell Konoha that it tasted bad..."
- Hazuki: "That's why I told you to get take-out!"
- Konoha: "That's why you recommended it!?"
- Hazuki: "Uh, yeah..."
- Konoha: "Ayame! Was it really not good?"
- Ayame: "I'm sorry, Konoha... W-water..."
- Hazuki: "Konoha, why did you try again at something you knew you weren't good at?"
- Konoha: "I thought this was a great opportunity, though..."
- "I thought that maybe for once it would turn out well..."
- Hazuki: "We knew this already and this is why I'm in charge of food, though."
- "Leave the cooking to me, you don't have to try so hard at it, okay?"
- (There will be casualties otherwise!)
- "I'll handle dealing with the food, you can feel free to give up on it!"
- Konoha: (Give up, she says!?)
- "No, I won't give it up."
- Hazuki: "Huh?"
- Konoha: "I will go any lengths so we can keep living together, I will never give up!"
- "I will definitely make food that you two will find delicious!"
- Hazuki & Ayame: What!?!?
- Hazuki: "You're making us into your test subjects!?"
- "Even though my cooking is just fine?"
- Konoha: "It costs 1.84 times more to order out in comparison to home cooking."
- "That's the problem! What happens if you are unable to make food for us?"
- "That's why I must also be able to cook!"
- "Hazuki, Ayame! Sit tight and wait for some delicious food!" [this line has a typo; it originally says Hazuki, Konoha]
- Ayame thinking: (We might die before you get to making good food)
- Part 3
- *Since then, I have put all my effort into cooking research.*
- Hazuki: "Huh? Why do we have so much cookware? What happened?"
- "It might be silly to ask you since you manage our funds, but are we alright on money?"
- Konoha: "Don't worry, they were incredibly cheap so in total I kept it to below 3% of our monthly budget."
- "If we skimp for one day, we should be able to cover this."
- "There are three cooking knives, and we have six sizes of measuring spoons."
- "We have 6 bowls and a colander. A peeler, a cutter, a grater..."
- "We should have enough stuff for cooking when combined with the stuff we had before."
- "And then I've been studying the theory of food from some books..."
- Hazuki: "I never needed to learn that!"
- Konoha: "'The interplay of flavors using contrast, control, and enhancement'"
- "'Tongue-satisfying mouthfeel, otherwise known as Texture Choices'"
- "'The effect of color'... The appetizing caramel color"
- "If I use all of these, I should definitely be able to make delicious food."
- Hazuki: "Is that really what cooking's all about?"
- Konoha: "You probably just are a prodigy at it."
- "Even without studying the theory, it comes naturally to you."
- "Unfortunately, I'm not such a genius."
- Hazuki: "My genius, as you call it, aside..."
- "It's pretty cut and dry that you are not one."
- Konoha: "..."
- Hazuki: "Ah, I'm sorry!"
- Konoha: "It's alright, Hazuki. I understand that perfectly well."
- "But now that I'm taking this opportunity, I have to give it my best shot!"
- Hazuki thinking: (Man, she's got my hopes up now!)
- Hazuki: "Today, I'll try the food you make, Konoha!"
- Konoha: "Really?"
- "Thank you, Hazuki! I'll do my best!"
- "Well then."
- "Let's go for contrast first, so let's add in salt and sugar..."
- [fade to black]
- "Here it is, it's done! Sweet bonito omelettes!"
- "I added purple yam powder to turn it blue, and red ketchup to turn it brown."
- "On top I have white cauliflower pickled in sugar."
- "The eggs were cooked to be a mix of crispy and fluffy so as to have many textures."
- "As a finishing touch, I drew an arc with a splash of French cooking inspired Worcestershire Sauce around it."
- "...Beautiful. It's perfect."
- "I've incorporated each theory of cooking."
- Hazuki: "..."
- thinking to herself: (This is bad. I wanna run away...)
- Konoha: "This was the first cooking I've ever done with such complete research and preparation."
- "Hazuki, have you never put this much thought into your cooking before?"
- Hazuki: "Um, well..."
- "Did you try how it tasted while you were cooking?"
- Konoha: "Yes, I tried each individual ingredient."
- Hazuki thinking: (You didn't try the dish itself!)
- Konoha: "Now then, let's eat up!"
- Hazuki: "Okay..."
- Konoha: "Say goodbye to the Konoha who couldn't cook!"
- there's a flash, and then Hazuki collapses
- Konoha: "Hazuki! Was it really that bad?"
- "...ugh!"
- "My eyes are watering..."
- "D-disgusting... Why!?"
- "I can't even comprehend how I made this flavor..."
- Ayame: "I'm home!"
- "Konoha! Check this out!"
- Konoha: "What's this flier? 'Cooking classroom'? A teacher will show you how to cook?"
- Ayame: "Yeah, that's what it looks like. So Konoha, you could... Wait, Hazuki collapsed!"
- Ayame: "Aw man, I was just a bit too late..."
- Konoha: "..."
- ---
- Konoha: "'Cooking Class Notice'... A store is holding a class..."
- "'Youshoku Walnuts'... Walnuts, it says?" (note that Walnuts is Kurumi Manaka's restaurant)
- "That's a famous restaurant in Kamihama."
- Hazuki: "I had some of their food at the girls' meeting before, and it was so good I had tears rolling down my face..."
- Konoha: "You're awake, Hazuki!"
- "But Hazuki, Ayame, what do you think?"
- "Would someone like me, who couldn't improve even after poring through this book..."
- "Could I really get better from taking a class?"
- Ayame: "Finally you seem to be timid for once, Konoha!"
- Konoha: "Huh?"
- "Of course I can be timid."
- "With that much studying and all my effort, I couldn't make my cooking even the slightest bit better."
- "I had hoped that at least people wouldn't faint anymore..."
- Hazuki: "The Walnuts person who will be teaching you is amazing!"
- "You don't get a chance like this every day."
- "You get to see how they cook with your own eyes, get instruction..."
- "And if you mess up when cooking, a pro will teach you how to fix it right there!"
- "If you really, really want to learn how to cook..."
- "Then you have to try everything you can! Isn't that for the best?"
- Hazuki thinking: (At least at a cooking class, it won't be us doing the taste-testing!)
- Konoha: "I see... I wanted to learn how to cook."
- "No matter the method, no matter how long it'd take."
- "I must learn to cook delicious food."
- "We have to consider our finances too..."
- "This is part of our promise."
- Ayame: "Umm... We promised something?"
- "I think it's a good idea, though, a cooking class!"
- Ayame thinking: (After all, I won't be the one eating it!)
- Konoha: "Thanks, you two..."
- "I'm going to take this cooking class!"
- Konoha (voiced): "The basic flavors of cooking? Uh... No comment."
