Alright...

Then, we know what we're gonna do for practice tomorrow.

2
Character icon
An

Yup! I can't wait to try those new exercises!

3
Character icon
An

Still, it feels like it's been forever since we last came up with a plan for practice like this. But I guess that's because my dad took care of all that for a while, huh?

4
Character icon
Toya

True, but he did help expand our options in terms of practice quite a bit.

5
Character icon
Toya

Now, the onus is on us to come up with the best ways for us to reach our goal.

6
Character icon
An

Right! Anyway, now that we know what we're gonna do during practice tomorrow, why don't we take a break?

7
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah, I was actually just thinking about ordering a refill.

8
Character icon
Akito

Then, I might order some food...

9
Character icon
???

Oh...

Are you guys done with your discussion?

10
Character icon
Akito

Yeah, we just finished and were thinking about ordering some stuff.

11
Character icon
Kotaro

Really?! Your timing couldn't have been better. I actually have a small favor to ask you, Akito...

12
Character icon
Akito

A favor?

13
Character icon
Kotaro

Yeah, so...

14
Character icon
Kotaro

I wanna have you taste-test a new menu item! They're pancakes made using strawberries... You game?

15
Character icon
Akito

You want me to taste-test pancakes...?

16
Character icon
Akito

(Come to think of it, I haven't had pancakes here at Weekend Garage since before the place closed...)

17
Character icon
Akito

In that case, I don't mind lending you a hand.

18
Character icon
Kotaro

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

19
Character icon
Kotaro

I thought you'd be the person to ask since you used to have pancakes here all the time.

20
Character icon
Kotaro

Also, I feel like asking a pancake connoisseur such as yourself was my best option!

21
Character icon
Young Vivid Street Locals

Hey, did you hear that?

Shinonome likes having pancakes...!

22
Character icon
Young Vivid Street Locals

Yeah, I didn't know that...!

23
Character icon
Kotaro

Oh, that might've been too loud...

A lot of new customers have been coming around this time...

24
Character icon
Akito

I don't mind.

25
Character icon
Toya

Sorry, Akito.

26
Character icon
Akito

Huh?

27
Character icon
Toya

You wouldn't stand out so much if I were able to help you eat them. And I would be able to lend Mita a hand...

28
Character icon
Akito

Wait, why are you feeling so bad about this?

29
Character icon
An

In that case, let us taste-test with him!

30
Character icon
Kotaro

Huh?

31
Character icon
An

That should help take some attention off Akito like Toya said, right? Are you with us, Kohane?!

32
Character icon
Kohane

Oh... Yeah, I agree!

33
Character icon
Akito

You guys...

34
Character icon
Akito

You're just after some pancakes, aren't you?

35
Character icon
An

Hey, we're throwing you a lifesaver here.

36
Character icon
Kotaro

I don't mind making more since we've got plenty of ingredients. And I do wanna hear from more people!

37
Character icon
Kotaro

Just gimme a second to go whip them up!

Several dozen minutes later
38
Character icon
Kotaro

Check it out!

These are the new Strawberries Galore Pancakes!

39
Character icon
Kohane

Wow, so many strawberries! This looks delicious...!

40
Character icon
Toya

These pancakes... They have a pink hue to them...

41
Character icon
Kotaro

Oh, thanks for noticing!

The batter has strawberries in it! Hence, “strawberries galore”!

42
Character icon
Akito

Wow... It sounds like you put a lot of effort into these.

43
Character icon
Kotaro

I did! I don't wanna serve any half-baked dishes here.

44
Character icon
An

The toppings are so elaborate too!

Okay, let's start digging in!

45
Character icon
An

Mmm! This strawberry sauce is so good!

The fruity tartness goes amazingly well with the sweetness of the pancakes!

46
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah, this whipped cream also complements it really well!

47
Character icon
Kotaro

I appreciate both your compliments!

After all, I did use fresh strawberries for these.

48
Character icon
Akito

Then, lemme try a bit.

49
Character icon
Kotaro

What do you think...?!

50
Character icon
Akito

Well, they aren't bad.

51
Character icon
Akito

But they're a far cry from Ken's pancakes.

52
Character icon
Kotaro

Grr! I had a feeling...!

53
Character icon
Kohane

But I think these are really yummy...

54
Character icon
Kotaro

Still, Akito's a regular here, so I'm inclined to believe what he's saying.

55
Character icon
Kotaro

As bittersweet as this is, I'll just have to make something next time that you'll have no choice but to praise! So get ready!

56
Character icon
Akito

Alright, good luck with that.

But I'll be happy to taste-test again if you need me.

57
Character icon
An

Hold on a second! That just means you want more pancakes, doesn't it?!

58
Character icon
Akito

Not true. Don't put me in the same category as you guys.

59
Character icon
Akito

(A lot has changed since RAD BLAST happened...)

60
Character icon
Akito

(So it is nice to be able to have pancakes here again.)
