Fuu/Mebuki birthday 2019 - 4

The best moment - 4

[Sanshuu Middle - Hallway]

Kar: It looked like they were spinning their wheels for a while after the strategy meeting, so I wonder if their preparations are going well right now.

Kar: Well, not that I'm worried about them. Hm? I think I can hear them from the Home Ec room.

Yum: Save me! Alfreeed!

[Home Ec room]

Kar: What happened here, you people!?

Yum: Alfred!?

Shi: ...So Alfred was Miyoshi all along?

Kar: Of course not! And Miroku! You'll never turn this into udon if you keep kneading like that!

Yum: Karin-san! Did you come here just to assist us?

Kar: N-No I didn't! I just heard you people being loud when I was passing by.

Aya: We're sorry for the trouble. We're actually preparing for Mebuki-senpai and Fuu-senpai's birthday celebration right now.

Kar: I've heard the gist of the story. You're making udon from scratch, right? You won't be able to knead it well if you keep brute-forcing it.

Kar: Give it to me. Look, you've got to use your weight and keep a steady rhythm.

Suz: Ohh! It's beginning to look like actual udon dough now!

Kar: And Suzume!

Suz: Y-Yes!

Kar: Udon dough made with mandarins does exist, but it's not something amateurs should be attempting.

Suz: I'm sorry! Mandarins are delicious, so I wanted to add some to udon too...

Kar: Well, it's not like the idea itself was bad or anything.

Kar: You can add some to the soup as the secret ingredient and use them to decorate the cake so they won't go to waste.

Suz: I see! Nothing less from the great perfect Hero!

Kar: Hmph. This is just common sense. Also, Shizuku!

Kar: Use features from ramen in udon, not the cake!

Shi: Right...

Kar: And Miroku!

Kar: You keep trying to watch over everything too much. Trusting your teammates and letting them work is also a leader's duty.

Yum: Trusting and letting them work... huh.

Yum: Then Shizuku-san, you work on the udon. Suzume-san, you prepare the cake. Following that...

Yum: I shall continue kneading the dough, so you support the other two, Kokudo-san.

Kar: Well hey, you can work pretty well once you get the basics down.

Aya: It's thanks to your advice, Karin-senpai. Are you good at cooking?

Kar: Nobody's ever told me that before!

Aya: Really!? But your instructions just now were wonderfully precise.

Kar: I guess it's thanks to getting opportunities to cook during club activities and celebrating all those birthdays.

Kar: I must've naturally learned it by imitating the actual good cooks like Fuu and Tougou.

Aya: So that's how it is! How nice. I wish I could learn a lot of things like you, Karin-senpai..

Kar: You'll be able to, I'm sure.

Kar: The fastest way to get good at cooking is the desire to make your important ones happy.
