Character Story 2: Bring Your Own Gourmet Ingredients
Scene: A restaurant in Landsol.
Pecorine
Welcome!
Pecorine
Sorry -- the time for last orders has already passed, so even if I let you in now, you won't be able to get any food.
Pecorine
I'll give you this discount coupon, so please come back tomorrow!
Pecorine
Huh? Oh, heya, Yuuki!
Pecorine
You really come to this shop pretty often! You really like the fish here, huh?
Pecorine
I get it! The seafood here is delicious -- the special flavor of soy sauce, combined with the bitterness of the fish's innards!
Pecorine
Ooh, it's so addictive!
Pecorine
If you appreciate that flavor, you must be a real expert -- a gourmet!
Pecorine
Hmm? You're not here as a customer today?
Pecorine
Then, why did you come to this shop? Did you get lost?
Pecorine
I just have to clean up a little, and then I'll be ready to go. Should I show you the way home?
Pecorine
Oh, so... Kokkoro accidentally bought too much fish? And you're not sure what to do with it, so you came here?
Pecorine
Instead of letting it spoil, you figured it'd be better to have someone else cook something from it?
Pecorine
I see! That makes a lot of sense! You really have a mind not to waste things, huh?
Pecorine
Kokkoro usually gives off kind of a reliable vibe, so...
Pecorine
It's a little surprising that she also makes these kinds of mistakes! How cute!
Pecorine
But, but... Like I said before, the restaurant is already closed...
Pecorine
And anyway, we're not supposed to allow customers to bring their own food inside. Even if it's just ingredients, that's still not okay, right?
Pecorine
Aah, don't make a face like that! It's okay!
Pecorine
As long as I'm alive, I won't allow any culinary ingredients to go to waste so easily!
Pecorine
Hmm... Let me go talk it over with the manager. I'll ask if we can use the kitchen.
Pecorine
In order to make it easier to preserve, we can make some of it into dried fish, and then cook the rest and eat it here.
Pecorine
Does that sound good?
Pecorine
Ah -- of course, I'll pay you back for the portions that I eat!
Pecorine
You don't need me to? Because otherwise it would just spoil and turn into junk, anyway?
Pecorine
No, no -- it's important to be precise with money! No need to be so modest.
Pecorine
Then, wait a minute, okay? I'll go cook it up -- it'll be done right away!
Pecorine
Yuuki, if you're still got room, then eat as much as you'd like, okay?
Pecorine
I'll take the fish, then.
Pecorine
Wow, it smells so fresh! The bounty of the sea, huh?
Pecorine
Oh, this smell, it's simply irresistible! Wonderful, huh? ☆
Pecorine
Then, I'll go cook this up! Yuuki, please sit over there and wait!
Pecorine
Hey, boss! Let me borrow the kitchen for a bit!
Pecorine
Oh? Why are you following me over? You're a lonely one, aren't you?
Pecorine
Hm? You'd like me to teach you how to cook?
Pecorine
You feel embarrassed that Kokkoro always cooks every meal for you, so you'd like to learn to cook for yourself?
Pecorine
Okay! And that's right -- cooking can also be a lot of fun!
Pecorine
Male cooks have totally been "in" lately -- they're super popular with the ladies! Hee hee!
Pecorine
Then, first make sure you wash your hands, and then use disinfectant! You know how, right?
Pecorine
I've got a spare apron. Here, I'll help you put it on.
Pecorine
Hey, please hold still! Are you ticklish?
Yuuki
1. Resist
2. Follow instructions
Option 1.
Pecorine
Ooh, you're fighting back, huh? How cheeky! But your annoyed expression is also cute!
Pecorine
I see, it's here! This is where you're ticklish, huh? Scratchy scratch!
Pecorine
Hah, hah... Sorry, I might have been having too much fun, and gotten carried away a little.
Pecorine
How rude! Please, forgive me~
Option 2.
Pecorine
Ooh, you're listening to me?
Pecorine
No matter what it is, you can take it, huh? Just like a boy!
Pecorine
How about this, then! Tickle, tickle, tickle...!
Pecorine
... You know, I kind of feel like I'm bullying a kid who doesn't know any better.
Pecorine
Sorry! No more playtime. Let's cook!
Pecorine
Cooking is war! The kitchen is a battlefield! It wouldn't do to fool around.
End of branches.
Pecorine
Okay, are you ready? Please, dry off your hands with the towel over there.
Pecorine
Hmm... Even though it'd be faster for me to just cook it all, this time, how about I stand aside and give you instructions?
Pecorine
I'll give you a crash course on cooking!
Pecorine
Hee hee... Standing beside each other cooking, we look like a couple of newlyweds.
Pecorine
Huh? Yuuki, stop!
Pecorine
The way you're holding that cutting knife is really strange -- you might hurt yourself! It's dangerous!
Pecorine
Here, hold it like this. Got it? Good, good!
Pecorine
Ehehe. Instead of being newlyweds, I feel like this is more like teaching a little kid...
