We've gone around most of the school now...
Yeah, what do we have left? The stalls outside?
Yeah. We saw that cotton candy stall at the end and the ones near the rest area...
But we still haven't been to your class's stall, Ena.
The lunch rush is probably over, so it may not be all that crowded.
You're serious about going...?
Yeah, since we're here!
You practiced making them a ton, right? You gotta grill us up some squid!
Alright, fine. If it isn't that crowded...
Really...?
There's no one here.
Hi, Shinonome! Oh, you brought friends...?
Yeah, they wanted to try our squid.
Oh, these look just about ready, so could we have them...?
Wait, Ena, aren't you going to grill us some?
Huh? It doesn't matter who makes them. They basically all turn out the same...
Yeah, but we wanna have ones that you grilled.
Hehe. The grill's all yours, Shinonome.
These ones are actually part of an order, and I was just about to go deliver them.
So, show your friends just how much you've been practicing for this!
O-Okay. Thanks...
Anyway, I'm gonna go deliver these!
Have fun, everyone!
Thank you.
Alright, Ena, show us what you got!
Okay, fine. I just need to make two, right?
I mean, all I'll really be doing is throwing them on the grill since they're already seasoned...
Oh, they're starting to sizzle nicely.
Yes, they are...
Can't somebody talk about something...?
Why...?
Because this feels really awkward.
Haha... Alright, then...
What gave you trouble when you were learning how to grill squid?
How the smell clings to your clothes.
I wore my uniform while practicing on the grill, and it kept smelling no matter how much deodorizing spray I used on it afterwards.
Is that all...?
No way, she's surely got more to say.
Like the trick to grilling them just enough for optimum flavor, or...
Seriously, all I have to do is throw them on the grill! Can't you show a little more interest in what I had to say?
I dunno what to tell you...
Then, where were the squids you're grilling caught? Also, what species are they?
Huh? So, we made sure to find two suppliers in case anything happened with one of them...
Which one are these from...?
I remember one of the suppliers was in Hokkaido...
You could've picked an easier topic, you know...?
Umm... What should we talk about now...?
...
Come to think of it, squid is apparently “grilled” very differently depending on if you're in the Kanto or Kansai region.
Wait, really?
Oh, one of my classmates mentioned that.
We're all used to seeing squid grilled whole as it is over here in Kanto.
Yeah, that came up in one of the anime I saw! In Kansai...
Alright, they're done!
Awesome!
The topics you came up with made the time fly right by, Mafuyu.
Yeah!
Oh, I don't wanna burn my tongue, so you two start without me.
Here you are, Kanade, Mafuyu.
They're really hot, so please be careful.
Thank you. Let's eat.
Let's eat...
How are they?
It's softer and easier to bite through than I expected...
Yes, it's good.
Right? We did get some good squid for this.
But you couldn't remember where these were caught or what species they are...
Just eat.
Haha!
