Hmm-hmm~♪

Raika

That should be enough rinsing.

Raika

Now, I just need to add the water...

Miku

Are you already getting dinner ready? Isn't it a little early for dinner?

Raika

Miku! We're making rice in an earthenware pot tonight~ There's a lot to get ready!

Raika

I want everyone to enjoy it, so I need to let it steam properly too...

Raika

Ah, that's too much water... Okay! Perfect!

Miku

...

Raika

What's wrong, Miku? Curious about the rice?

Miku

Not really. I just came to get some tea.

Raika

But you keep touching your ear~?

Miku

*Sigh*... I really did come for tea.

Miku

I was just thinking that cooking rice is the one thing you can actually do properly. Even if you're hopeless at every other chore.

Raika

Oh, I guess so?

Miku

(I mean, she should put the same care into other chores that she puts into the rice.)

Miku

It's pretty unusual to be able to cook it in an earthenware pot, though. You have to watch the heat, and it takes a lot of work.

Raika

Rice made with love takes time and care!

Miku

That's what your grandma used to say, right?

Raika

That's right! Granny taught me, "If you ever have a family of your own, you need to at least be able to cook rice on your own."

Raika

She said I should become someone who can always cook delicious meals for their family.

Miku

I see...

Raika

Well... I only use an earthenware pot because I enjoy it! I love the crispy rice at the bottom~

Raika

Does that make you happy, Miku? Are you looking forward to our meals now?

Miku

Why are you making this about that?

Raika

Because you'll get to have delicious meals for the rest of your life, Miku!

Raika

You'll be eating my love, and it'll fill both your heart and your stomach. Our happiness is guaranteed to last even after we're grandmas!

Miku

What!?

Miku

(Does she really not realize how embarrassing that sounds...?)

Miku

Y-You can only cook rice. What are you even talking about?

Raika

Huh? Are you mad, Miku?

Miku

If you're saying you want to feed your family delicious meals, you should at least learn to make miso soup!

Raika

Oh! You like miso soup!

Miku

That's not what I mean. Think about nutrition... Actually, never mind.

Miku

Well then, I'll see you at dinner.

Raika

Wait, wait! Tell me what you were going to say!

Miku

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Raika

I would! I want you to keep explaining until I understand!

Raika

Hey, Mikuuu~!
