Mahiru
You’re the one who bought it in the first place, Amane, so you’ve got to have some, too.
Amane
...This is crazy sweet,
Mahiru
Well, it is cake.
Amane
...This really doesn’t seem weird to you, does it?
Mahiru
...Um.
Amane
Eat it,
Amane
So what do you think?
Mahiru
I-it’s d-delicious...
Amane
Not that. What do you think about being fed?
Mahiru
...I feel very much like running away.
Amane
I bet you do. That’s exactly the sort of thing that might give people the wrong idea, you know. Save it for your female friends, okay?
Mahiru
Okay,
Amane
...I wonder if I should cook something?
Mahiru
Oh, did you go to the supermarket?
Amane
Yeah,
Mahiru
Oh, was the shopping from yesterday not enough? Didn’t you buy everything on the list?
Amane
N-no, that’s not it... It’s just...I thought I might try making lunch on my own,
Mahiru
...On your own?
Mahiru
I don’t want to say anything mean,
Mahiru
So I'll just tell you it would be safer for you to stop now. What if you burn yourself or get a cut?
Amane
...You know, it’s not like I literally can’t cook anything at all.
Mahiru
Right, it’s just that you can’t cook anything that tastes good. And that’s assuming you don’t kill yourself in the process.
Mahiru
If you say you’re going ahead with it, I won’t stop you,
Mahiru
but manage your expectations, or you’ll end up severely disappointed.
Amane
...Fair enough,
Amane
It’s just that, well, you’re always talking about nutrition and stuff. There might be some time in the future when I really have to live on my own, like college. I can’t rely on you forever, right?
Mahiru
...I think it’s a great thing to set your eyes on the future, but if you’re going to do that, shouldn’t you have come to me first?
Amane
Huh?
Mahiru
Rather than making whatever kind of mess you’re about to do without my supervision, it would be much better for me to watch and ensure nothing goes wrong. Amane, are you confident that you won’t accidentally destroy your kitchen?
Amane
...No.
Mahiru
It figures,
Mahiru
That’s why it’s better for me to be there, right?
Amane
Would that be asking too much?
Mahiru
If I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t have suggested the idea.
Amane
I Bowed
Mahiru
You don’t need to be so formal,
Mahiru
...By the way, do you have an apron?
Amane
No problems on that front. I bought one for cooking class.
Mahiru
And did you use it?
Amane
There was really no point. All I did was measure ingredients and wash dishes.
Mahiru
Figures.
Mahiru
Wow, I’ve never seen you in that before, Amane. It kind of feels like the apron’s wearing you.
Amane
Oh, well, excuuuse me.
Mahiru
I guess there’s nothing we can do about that. So you’ve already decided what you plan to make, right? Since you went and bought the ingredients.
Amane
Stir-fried vegetables and an omelet.
Mahiru
...Veggie stir-fry because I’ve been scolding you to eat more vegetables and an omelet because you like eggs, right?
Amane
Bull’s-eye.
Mahiru
It’s not like it was a difficult guess. What seasonings do you have for the stir-fry?
Amane
This: yakiniku sauce.
Mahiru
Oh...straight from the bottle, huh? I suppose it has that robust flavor that boys like...and I guess it is tasty...
Amane
It’s better than me trying to make something from scratch, isn’t it?
Mahiru
For the veggie stir-fry, you just need to cut the vegetables up and fry them until they’re cooked evenly through, okay? ...Do you know how to cut them?
Amane
Are you making fun of me?
Amane
...Owww,
Mahiru
...I thought something like this might happen. Here, give me that.
Amane
You’re very prepared,
Mahiru
Beginners often hurt themselves.
Amane
You have no faith in me, do you?
Mahiru
I do recognize that you were trying your best,
Mahiru
That’s wonderful.
Amane
Gee, thanks.
Mahiru
I still would have liked you to ask me ahead of time, though.
Amane
You say that, but it would’ve been awful to make you cook lunch for me, too, especially on a weekend.
Mahiru
I know you’re trying to handle things by yourself, but if you mess up and it becomes a whole situation that ends with calling me anyway... It would be easier to have just been here from the start.
Amane
Fine.
Mahiru
...And please don’t ever try to fry anything. You’ll start a fire,
Amane
I’m nowhere near advanced enough to make fried food,
Mahiru
I don’t think it’s actually quite that difficult... Once again, I’m forced to wonder how you survived on your own all this time,
Amane
Sorry about all this,
Amane
Now you know why I was living on convenience-store food.
Mahiru
...It’s just—I’m scared of the idea of you making fried foods, Amane, so if you really want some, please come ask me instead.
Amane
All right then, tomorrow I want to eat fried mince cutlets.
Mahiru
All right, but you’re eating plenty of cabbage salad on the side. And I’m making miso soup with lots of vegetables, got it?
Amane
Yeah, yeah. And...thank you.
Mahiru
For what?
Amane
For everything.
Amane
You help me a lot,
Amane
Let’s eat.
Mahiru
Sounds good.
Mahiru
...It’s flavorless scrambled eggs, all right. Didn’t you add any salt or pepper?
Amane
I forgot. Plus, I was supposed to be making an omelet.
Mahiru
You scrambled it up too much. What were you thinking, mixing it with the chopsticks until it fell apart? I warned you about that.
Amane
Sorry.
Mahiru
...I think, for you, it was a really good attempt. The most important thing is that you tried. Still, I’m worried that if I let you try it on your own, the cleanup afterward will be awful, so I’d like you to take it slow, okay?
Amane
...I’m going to become totally reliant on you,
Mahiru
It’s a little late for that.
Amane
Ugh...
Mahiru
Just joking. Well, not really, but I like that you appreciate my cooking, and I don’t hate teaching you to cook, either, so...really, you don’t have to worry.
Amane
...Thanks again—for everything.
Mahiru
If you do learn how to cook, Amane, I guess I’ll be relieved of my duties.
Amane
No, that’s... I mean... Your cooking is the best, Mahiru, so please... I want to keep eating it for as long as I can. Though, I guess that’s kinda shameless of me to ask.
Mahiru
Ha-ha. You really are hopeless, aren’t you? Well, I don’t intend to stop, so you can relax.
Amane
...Thanks,
Mahiru
How about I get you to help me out sometimes? Peeling vegetables, measuring ingredients, things like that,
Amane
Like a kid helping in the kitchen.
Mahiru
Amane, that’s where you need to start, you know?
Itsuki
Hey, Amane, can we have a Christmas party at your place?
Amane
Nope.
Itsuki
Come on, Amane,
Itsuki
You’re alone anyway…ah, unless maybe there’s a girlfriend in the picture?
