Panel 1
Shoukaku: That said, if you were going to ask for my help, you should've asked before you started...
SFX: [Odor]
Arashi: ...well, I just thought could get something basic like cookies done by myself...
Shoukaku: ...did you have a recipe?

Panel 2
Arashi: Nah, measuring and stuff takes forever, and I eat a lot anyway.
Hagi's always joking about my "manly portions".
Hagikaze: (Arashi
sure is heroic)
(Big ->)
Title: The ☆ Heroic
Shoukaku: Are you sure she wasn't twitching when she made that smile?
(You do have a reputation for eating a surprising amount though.)

Panel 3
Shoukaku: Regardless, for what purpose do you have a bat?
(It's even all wrapped up...)
Arashi: Ahh, that's cause I couldn't find a rolling pin.
(I washed it good.)

Panel 4
Shoukaku: And why is this area slightly charred?
Arashi: I lit the stove near where I opened the flour, so "fwoosh"...

Panel 5
Shoukaku: ...you need to put a stopper on those heroics of yours, alright?
Well then, there's an easy way to make cookies. First, you need to "properly" measure things out, okay?
Arashi: O-Okay.

Panel 1
Arashi: Kay, done measuring.
Shoukaku: Good. Now we put the flour and sugar in a bag and mix it up, alright?

Panel 2
Arashi: Oh yeaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaah!
SFX: Shake, shake, shake, shake

Panel 3
SFX: Swing, swing, swing
Shoukaku: She doesn't have to swing her head too, but I suppose if she likes it...

Panel 4
Arashi: Whew, like that, right?
That really tuckered me out.
SFX: Pant, pant, pant
Shoukaku: Y-Yes.
Alright, next we add the egg and batter...

Panel 5
Shoukaku: And now all you have to do to finish the dough is knead it until it stiffens.
Arashi: Woah, sweet, that's easy!

Panel 6
Arashi: Maybe I can teach Hagi and everyo- nah, I bet Hagi can do it already.

Panel 1
Shoukaku: Oh, but what if we taught them and made cookies now?
After all, I imagine Hagikaze-chan's better at cooking than I am...

Panel 2
Arashi: Eh,
ah, well, the thing is...

Panel 3
Arashi: I'm actually making these as thanks for Valentine's.
Making it with them's kinda...
[Valentines]
Hagikaze (flashback): Here you go, Arashi!!
Arashi (flashback):  T-Thanks.
Arashi: (I didn't have anything ready back then...)
Shoukaku: Ah, that's right, tomorrow's White Day, isn't it?
Fufu, it seems being a popular girl is tough.

Panel 4
Arashi: I thought it'd better to make my return gifts myself.
Maybe it wasn't a good idea, huh...

Panel 6
Shoukaku: No, no, I'm sure everyone'll love it.
Arashi: Really?
Shoukaku: Of course. By the way...

Panel 1
Shoukaku: Let's roll the dough into a square, not an amoeba thing, okay?
SFX: Squish.
Arashi: Eh?

Panel 2
Arashi: Guess it's done for...
Shoukaku: That's right, what shape do you have in mind for these cookies?
Arashi: Ah, right, then...

Panel 3
Arashi: Ta-dah!
Shoukaku: What a strange shape... what is it?

Panel 4
Arashi: Heheh. It's DesDiv4's faces.
I had Akashi-san make these out of aluminum plate for me.
(Cost me an arm and a leg though)
[Drawing of Expected Shape]
Shoukaku: Ah, I see, how wonderful.

Panel 5
Arashi: Oh, and I got a depth charge cutter too.
Shoukaku: Won't... won't that just become a regular stick?

Panel 6
Shoukaku: But yes, if everyone's wonderful shapes are here...

Panel 7
Shoukaku: This might take some work, but how's this?
(The eyes and mouth are made by dissolving flour in cocoa, you see)
[Cocoa Dough]
Arashi: Oooh, awesoooome!

Panel 1
Arashi: Thank you so much for the idea, Shoukaku-san.
Alrighty, let's get sta-

Panel 3
Arashi: What is this, fukuwarai?	* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuwarai
(Nowacchi's cuter than this!)
SFX: Ker-splat
Shoukaku: (You were the one that went and made it!!)

Panel 4
Shoukaku: N-Nowaki-chan's hair is complicated, so let's start with another girl?
(And maybe skip the nose and...)
Arashi: Y-Yeah, Mai should be...

Panel 5
[Maikaze]
SFX: Scream
Arashi: ...

Panel 6
[Depth Charge]

Panel 1
Arashi: The hell's this!?
(Why's the depth charge so perfect!!)
Shoukaku: Arashi-chan, that's probably my line!!

Panel 2
Arashi: Maybe I should just have Shoukaku-san make em all... no, it's only meaningful if I make them...
That's right, I'll just make them all depth charges... hehehe...
SFX: Quiver, quiver, quiver
Shoukaku: C-Calm down.
How about this?

Panel 3
Shoukaku: This doesn't have much to do with White Day, but since I owe a lot to Hagikaze-chan's group too,	* Presumably a very morbid reference to DesDiv4 scuttling Akagi and Kaga at Midway
let's say we made these cookies together.
That way it's okay if I make some too, right?

Panel 4
Arashi: Sho...
Shoukaku-san...!

Panel 1
Arashi: Thank you very much!
Shoukaku: Right, could you put the dough back together for me?
Arashi: Oh yeah, I'll put it all back for ya!

Panel 3
Maikaze: I was wondering what she was up to lately, being all sneaky. So this was it.
Nowaki: She really shouldn't push herself...
Hagikaze: You say that, Nowaki, but you seem pretty happy.
Fufu, tomorrow'll be fun.

Panel 4
Narration: The cookies were finished and handed over the next day without incident.
SFX: Piled
Maikaze?: Wow, so cute!
Nowaki?: Thanks, Shoukaku-san, Arashi.

Panel 5
Hagikaze: Fufu, I'll eat the depth charge right now.
Arashi: Hey, hey, it might blow up on ya~
Maikaze: Ahaha, no way it'd do that~
Narration: It was thanks to Shoukaku stopping Arashi, who wanted to make the depth charge cookies actually explode, that things went without incident.
