Character Story 3: The Proper Way To Enjoy a Lavish Meal

Scene: A guild house.

Some time after fleeing the guild house, Yui returned and successfully finished cooking the meal.

Yui
Okay, sorry for the wait. Here's my specialty omelette rice.

Makoto
It sure was a wait! Yui's cooking skills are like a professional chef's -- I always look forward to it!

Yui
That's not so. My family owns a restaurant, so I just naturally learned how. I'm not particularly refined or anything.

Makoto
... Hey, Yui. Why'd you suddenly run out earlier? Did something happen? Did you get in an argument?

Yui
That, um... well... uh...

Makoto
I'd thought that I'd try to come back right when the food was about done. But well, this way I get to eat a big meal, so I don't mind.

Yui
Honestly, Makoto...

Makoto
Anyway! Our special meals are getting cold. Let's eat!

Yui
Right. Yuuki, this is for you. I hope you find the flavor to your liking...

Makoto
Thanks for the food! ... Mmm! Delicious! Just like you, Yui. I wish I could be fed like this everyday.

Yui
Even if you flatter me like that, nothing will come of it, you know?

Makoto
... Wait, how about that? Hey, Yuuki, since this is a special occasion and all, you should totally have Yui feed you. It'll taste even better that way!

Yui
Makoto!? Where did that come from!?

Yui
S-Sorry, Yuuki. Makoto was only joking just now! Don't worry about it, okay?

Yuuki
1. "I'd like to be fed."

Yui
W-W-Whaat! Even if you say that...!

Yui
(It's a special request from Yuuki, so I want to do it for him, but... That would be... so embarrassing!)

Yui
(... But if I can't be brave here, then I surely won't be able to when I'm fighting, either...!)

Yui
... Yuuki, I'll give it a try. I'll try my best to feed you properly!

Makoto
Well said, Yui! Do it!

Makoto
(... Huh? Somehow, the mood here feels different than what I'd imagined...?)

Yui
Okay! ... Here I go!

Yui
All right, say 'ah'...

Yui
... H-How is it? Does it taste good?

Yuuki
1. "It tastes good."

Yui
That's a relief...

Yui
1. "Yui, you should have some, too."

Yui
Then, go ahead. Ah... Mmm, it's good! I was worried that the flavor might be too strong, but this way...

Yui
......

Yui
(Was I just fed with the spoon that Yuuki used to eat...!? That's just like an indirect...!)

Yui
Ahh, wahwahwah...!

Yui
Kyuuuu...

Yui falls down.

Makoto
Yui!? What's with you! Get it together! Yui!!

Yui
Pshooo... pshooo...
