3rd Recipe - Stone Soup [Video; forward-dated to the 23rd]

[starofpleiades]

Um, has anyone else been having trouble getting food from the cafeteria? They aren't letting me in the kitchen to cook anything, or even giving me anything to eat...

[Kazumi looks more than a little worried. She's glad to be back in her own body but... this is a really pressing concern! How can people eat if they don't have food?]

...do you think they're mad at me for always cooking so much? Maybe I should have only made two pies yesterday...

I... well, I can't really fight and I don't have any special powers so... I just try not to leave my room when night falls.

[starofpleiades]

Ohh, I guess that's a good idea. Well, I try not to go out at night either... still, even during the day things can happen! Is there anyone strong you hang out with?

[cutestprogrammer]

Well... Oowada-kun is usually with me and he's really strong.

[starofpleiades]

Hehe, that's good then. A close friend?

[cutestprogrammer]

Well, he-he's actually my... boyfriend... [blushing so much!!]

[starofpleiades]

W, wow! Heheh... it's good he's here with you then!

[cutestprogrammer]

Mn. Though well, actually we only started dating a little while ago and after coming here. He's a classmate of mine back home.

[starofpleiades]

Aww, well that's nice having a classmate and becoming a couple like that. I guess good things can happen here.

[cutestprogrammer]

[he nods shyly] What-what about you Kazumi-san? Do you have anyone special?

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, not like that... I have a lot of friends who are very dear to me though. Only one of them is here that I knew from home though.

[cutestprogrammer]

I see. Have you known each other for long?

[starofpleiades]

Yes! Well, sort of... is a couple years long? [At least, she estimates it's around there? Or something like that]

[cutestprogrammer]

Mn! That's kind of long!

[starofpleiades]

Hehe, well, then we've known each other pretty long!

How long have you and Oowada-kun known each other?

[cutestprogrammer]

Not really that long. We've only known each other a few weeks before coming here.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, really? Heheh... you must have really hit it off then!

[cutestprogrammer]

Uh... well... not really. I was actually very scared of him at first since he's a gang leader and he can be very scary... but then I got to know him better and found out he's really a very nice person. He's always protecting and helping other people.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, wow... eheh, it's surprising to hear you got closer to someone like that, but I guess it's a good thing! I'm glad he's not as scary as he seemed.

[cutestprogrammer]

Mn! He's really a rather sweet person inside!

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, that's nice to hear. I'll be sure to talk to him sometime. Ah, if you two are ever hungry and don't like what the cafeteria's cooking, I'll make something for you two!

[cutestprogrammer]

You'd do that? Thank you, Kazumi-san!!

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, it's nothing much! I like cooking anyway, so I like spending time in the kitchen making things for everyone who can't do it themselves! It's just... a nice way I can contribute without using my powers, you know?

[cutestprogrammer]

Oh, perhaps you could teach me? If... If that's not too much trouble...

Mn! I can certainly understand that. [The need to be useful in some way.]

[starofpleiades]

Sure! I'm always happy to teach other people! We can get started when we get these back to the kitchen!

[Whoops, sure got talking and ran out of berries to pick]

[cutestprogrammer]

Okay!

Let's go then!
