Card Episode: To Prepare a Superb Omelet (Mitile, Akira)

A Little Jealous: Chapter 1

[Location: Courtyard, night]

Akira: Hi Mitile, Riquet. Are you enjoying the Tanabata party?

Mitile: Hello, Master Sage! And yes, we are!

Mitile: There’s lots and lots of delicious food. Just looking at them all makes us happy. Right, Riquet?

Riquet: Indeed!

Riquet: But with this vast selection, I’m getting unsure of what I want to eat.

Mitile: Ahaha, then how about we take a little bit from each one and eat them together?

Riquet: I’d appreciate that. Thank you, Mitile!

Akira: Can I join you two, if it’s okay?

Mitile: Of course, I’ll get some for you too, Master Sage!

Riquet: Munch munch… Fufu, how delicious.

Mitile: ...You look really happy when you’re eating Mister Nero’s food, Riquet.

Riquet: It is thanks to Nero that I always look forward to meal times.

Riquet: I feel happy whenever I eat, and I feel happy when I think about what I will eat the next day, too.

Akira: I understand that feeling… I often think about what we’ll have for breakfast before going to sleep.

Riquet: Ehehe, I’m glad you feel the same, Master Sage!

Riquet: The other day, Nero made pancakes, and they were really sweet and fluffy… Don’t you think so, Mitile?

Mitile: ...Ah, yes!

Mitile: Like you two say, Mister Nero is really amazing…

Mitile: ...A-Ah, right, I’ll go get the food over there. You two can wait here.

Riquet: Alright. Thank you, Mitile.

Riquet: When will Mitile come back… Perhaps he’s conflicted over which one to eat?

Akira: You’re right, he’s taking a little too long. I’ll go check on him.

(Akira walks over to Mitile)

Mitile: ......

Akira: (There he is. ...He looks like he’s in low spirits, I wonder if something happened?)

Akira: Mitile, is something the matter? Oh, did the food you want to have already run out?

Mitile: Oh, n-no, that’s not it!

Mitile: Um… Master Sage, do you think there’s a dish that Mister Nero hasn’t ever made before?

Akira: A dish Nero hasn’t ever made before?

Akira: Hmm… There are all kinds of food in this world, so I think there should be something that’s still foreign to him.

Akira: Back in my world, new dishes come out every day, too. I think it’d be something like that here, too…

Mitile: Back in your world... Ah!

Akira: What is it?

Mitile: Would you mind teaching me a recipe from your world? One that’s easy enough for me to make...

Mitile: And something that looks like a dish Mister Nero has never made before, if possible…

(Nero arrives)

Nero: Oh, there you are. Mitile, can you give me a sec?

Mitile: !!

A Little Jealous: Chapter 2

[Location: Courtyard, evening]

Mitile: Mister Nero….

Akira: Nero! That dessert you’re holding…

Nero had a few desserts in his hands—each of them colorfully decorated, a display of Nero’s impressive skills as a chef.

Nero: Sage, you’re drooling. What, you want some?

Akira: N-No, I just thought they’re really pretty…

Nero: Haha, thanks. Riquet asked me to make ‘em.

Akira: Those star-shaped fruits look lovely. Did you make these with Tanabata as the theme?

Nero: Yep. The boy badgered me into makin’ the dressings real special.

Nero: Sorry, Mitile, but couldya take this to Riquet if ya know where he is?

Mitile: Um…

Akira: (Mitile doesn’t have his usual enthusiasm. And he looks like he wants to say something…)

Nero: Ah… My bad. I didn’t even ask if you’re alright with takin’ care of it.

Nero: If you got something else to do, I’ll go give this to Riquet myself.

Mitile: I-I’m alright! I’ll bring them to Riquet.

Mitile: I think he’ll be happy to eat these. He was smiling the entire time he ate what you cooked for us today.

Mitile: Riquet… He really loves the food you make, Mister Nero. So…

Nero: ………

Akira: Um, Mitile….

The moment I started speaking, Nero gently placed his hand on Mitile’s head as his lips curled into a smile.

Nero: Don’t worry. I won’t be takin’ your precious friend away from ya.

Mitile: Huh!?

Mitile: W-What are you talking about? I-It’s not like I’m worried about that…

Nero: Haha… You don’t have to hide it.

Mitile: …How did you know that I was thinking about Riquet?

Nero: How could I not know? It’s written all over your face. The Sage probably knew, too.

Mitile: M-Master Sage, you knew?

Akira: Kind of… I had a feeling you were concerned about something.

Mitile: Nn… How embarrassing…

Mitile: …This will sound childish of me, but to be honest, I’m a little jealous of you, Mister Nero.

Mitile: I like it when Riquet is at his happiest, so I always bring something back for him every time I go somewhere far away, just like today.

Mitile: He looks happy when he receives my gifts, but… he always looks happier when he’s eating your food. So I wondered if there’s any way I can make him happier than Mister Nero can.

Akira: Is that the reason you asked me to teach you a recipe from my world?

Mitile: Yes. I thought that if I could make a dish that Mister Nero has never made, then I can make Riquet happier.

Nero: …So that’s how it is. But, y’know, you don’t need to worry about that.

Mitile: Huh…?

A Little Jealous: Chapter 3

[Location: Courtyard, evening]

Nero: You wanna hear a little secret? Actually, Riquet asked me to make these desserts so he could eat ‘em with you.

Nero: Which is why I thought it'd be quicker if I gave ‘em to you directly…

Mitile: Really?

Nero: Yeah. That Riquet… Most of the food he asks me to make is for himself.

Nero: But recently, he’s asking me to make more of the food he wants to eat with you.

Mitile: Riquet…

Akira: Riquet often comes to me to show the souvenirs you bring him, you know!

Nero: There was also a time where he sulked to me ‘cause you spent most of the day with other people.

Nero: I’m pretty sure Riquet treasures ya just as much as you treasure him.

Mitile: Oh… I see……

Mitile: …Mister Nero, Master Sage. Thank you for telling me all this.

Mitile: I call myself Riquet’s best friend, but it seems that I don’t even understand his feelings.

Mitile: I’m sorry for being mean to you because I was getting jealous, Mister Nero…

Nero: You weren’t bein’ mean or anythin’, don’t worry.

Mitile: Mister Nero…

(Riquet approaches them)

Riquet: There you are, Mitile!

Mitile: Ah, Riquet.

Riquet: Geez, what took you so long? I was choosing which dish I wanted you to try, but I ended up with more food on my plate than I planned to have.

Riquet: It’s about to fall out of the plate at any time, so let’s hurry up and eat, shall we?

Mitile, Nero, Akira: …………

Mitile, Nero, Akira: Ahaha!

Riquet: …Huh? Why are the three of you laughing?

Nero: Nah, it’s nothin’. Here’s the dessert you asked for. Take these with ya, since yer already here.

Riquet: Waah, thank you so much, Nero!

Riquet: Mitile, I asked Nero to make them! Let’s eat them together later.

Mitile: Okay!

Nero: Well, see ya later. I’m gonna go back in and clean up the kitchen.

Mitile: Mister Nero, please wait!

Mitile: Um, if you don’t mind, will you share these desserts with us?

Nero: Huh?

Mitile: I’ll help you clean the kitchen after that! I’d… be happy if I could eat these with you, Riquet, and the Master Sage.

Riquet: What a wonderful idea. I agree with Mitile. Please join us, Nero.

Akira: Yes, please, Nero. I’ll help you out later, too.

Nero: …Haha. Well, I can’t say no to that.

Nero: I’ll clean up the kitchen ‘n all that later, so let’s dig in right now.

Mitile: Yes! If we don’t eat them soon, Riquet will probably end up eating them all by himself.

Riquet: I won’t do something like that! …I think.

Mitile, Nero, Akira: Ahaha!

Card Episode: To Prepare a Superb Omelet

[Location: Library]

Mitile: Good afternoon, Master Sage. Could I have a bit of your time?

Akira: Yes, what is it?

Mitile: Actually, I want to pack lunch for Riquet as a surprise for him when he goes on a mission.

Akira: That’s really sweet, I think Riquet will love it. What are you going to make for him?

Mitile: At first I thought maybe I’d make him something he’s never eaten before, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to cook such a food deliciously.

Mitile: So I thought I’ll make him an omelet. It’s his favorite, and I think it’s simple enough for me to make. What do you think, Master Sage?

Akira: That’s wonderful! I think Riquet will be happy with anything you make for him, though.

Mitile: Ehehe, you think so? Talking about this with you took the pressure off my shoulders.

Mitile: I’ll work hard every day to learn how to cook a delicious omelet!

Mitile: And, if it’s okay with you, can I ask for your opinion on the taste while I’m perfecting it?

Akira: Of course you can. Good luck with your practice.

Mitile: Thank you very much, Master Sage!

Akira: I’m really looking forward to your omelet, MItile…

Mitile: ………

Mitile: On second thought, I’ll ask for Mister Nero’s feedback on my omelet before I give it to you!

Akira: Wait, no, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to put pressure on you…!

Special Home Screen Line

Mitile: Master Sage, will you whisper your wishes to me? Writing them on the tanzaku isn’t a bad idea, but if I can make it come true, then by all means… Huh, my wish? …I’d love to go stargazing with you.
