Mmm! Every dish is so good!
Which one should I try next?
What's in this little bowl...?
That one's tofu skin. I think you're supposed to top it with this condiment.
Oh, that's wonderful! I love tofu skin!
The proprietress also said that she recommends the wild herb tempura. The herbs were apparently freshly picked on a nearby mountain.
A recommendation...
Then, Minori, wanna try giving us a quick review?
What?!
Remember how nervous you were during our shoot at the cafe? Why don't you take this opportunity to practice since we have such a lovely feast in front of us?
G-Good point...! I've been practicing a ton since then, so I should be a lot better at this now...
Lemme show you all just how much I've improved!!
You sound so eager.
I'm looking forward to what you have in store for us.
You can do it, Minori.
We believe in you.
Okay, then...!
I-I'll get started!
Mmm! The batter's so crunchy... And the herbs...
I-It's like the mountain's right in my mouth...!!
The mountain...?
Th-That's quite an expression...
Sounds like you still need more practice...
*Sob*
S-Still...?
<Heya♪ We're here to hang out!>
<We figured it was time to eat, so we came to see what you were having.>
Miku! Rin!
Yes, we were just eating. Can you see everything?
<Wow! That looks amazing!
Oh, what's in this pot?>
Oh, that's right. We still haven't opened this one.
Yeah! What do you think's inside?
Then, let's have a look.
Ready? Three, two, one...
<Whoa!! There's a whole fish inside!
That's so cool! I like this dish already!>
<Hehe. Its visual appeal is really astonishing!>
It really is beautiful.
The vegetables are cut so elegantly, and the plate's even shaped like a bamboo leaf...
Not only is it delicious, it's also aesthetically pleasing. It's almost a shame that we have to eat it...
<Oh, that means this dish is just like an idol!>
What do you mean?
<It both looks and tastes amazing, right?>
<Like the way idols use both feelings and performances to bring fun to their fans♪>
I see...
Now that you mention it, idols do have a few things in common with cooking.
Like wanting your guests to enjoy themselves.
Wh-Who would have thought we could learn about being an idol even from this!
You've made quite a remarkable observation, Rin. I'm so impressed.
<Hehe. Pretty cool thought, right?♪>
Hehe. I wasn't expecting to receive such a lesson from my food. Also...
Idols and delicious food both have the ability to give people the energy they need.
So, since this feast has given us a nice boost of energy, we'll need to do our best during tomorrow's shoot.
Yes!
Yeah!
