Mahiru's Magic
Karen:
What kind of dishes are you going to prepare with your famous spuds today, Mahiru-chan?
Mahiru:
Hmmm...I'm not sure yet. Does anyone have any foods they don't like?
Misora:
Not at all! I love eating!
Aruru:
Me neither!
Lalafin:
Hmmm...I don't like onions so much!
Shizuha:
Tsukasa and I can eat anything.
Mahiru:
Okay! I'll make different dishes then!
*chop chop chop*
Aruru:
Ooh, the knife is creating a nice rhythm!
Misora:
I'm getting hungry just thinking about the food... Oh-
Misora:
Sorry, Tsuyuzaki-san! We should help as well!
Mahiru:
Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me!
Aruru:
We can't do that!
Mahiru:
...Okay, how about you se the table, Aruru-chan? And you can help me chop the vegetables, Kano-san.
Aruru & Misora:
Okay!
Mahiru:
If you're doe chopping the veggies, pop them in the oven for about a minute on 1000 watts.
Misora:
Got it! I'll clean the bowls in the meantime!
Mahiru:
Thank you.
Aruru:
I like it when they get sparkling clean!
Misora:
The same can't be said about your room, though...
Mahiru:
You don't like cleaning up, Aruru-chan?
Misora:
She hates throwing things out, so her room is full of stuff. I help her clean it up sometimes.
Mahiru:
Heh heh.
Aruru & Misora:
...?
Mahiru:
Sounds just like Karen-chan!
Karen:
I know I should clean, but every time...
Aruru:
Aah! I know what you mean! By the time I get to it Misora just does it all herself!
Aruru & Karen:
...We're the same!
Mahiru & Misora:
That's not something to be happy about!
Mahiru:
Everyone--! Mahiru's Special is on its way!
All:
Wow!
All:
Bon appetit!
Misora:
Hmmm...Everything tastes so good! I'm in heaven right now!
Tsukasa:
This potato salad is fantastic! It's fluffy with crunchy bits inside.
Lalafin:
Fluffy and crunchy! Mahiru - you're a potato master!
Mahiru:
The secret is what Kano-san made in the oven - vegetable chips. You can't even taste the onions, right?
Lalafin:
Whoa! These crunchy bits...!? You're a sneaky one!
Mahiru:
Aw, I hope I didn't do a bad thing.
Lalafin:
Not at all! They taste delicious!
Mahiru:
I'm glad you like them.
Aruru:
Your food makes everyone happy - it's like magic!
Lalafin:
And it doesn't even have a time-limit like the magic in Cinderella!
Misora:
Could I have some more...? Some gratin, potato salad, and some bagna cauda, please!
Mahiru:
...Sorry, Kano-san. My magic might not have a time-limit, but unfortunately my ingredients were limited...
Misora:
Ngh...
Mahiru:
Oh, but there's dessert!
Misora:
Tsuyuzaki-san - you're the best!
Shizuha:
Heh heh! Misora-chan is completely under her spell.
A Natural Hero
Mahiru:
Lala-chan!
Lalafin:
Great job on your performance, Mahiru! i could feel your passion even from my seat in the audience.
Mahiru:
I have to thank Frontier for that.
Mahiru:
You all gave me such great help.
Misora:
We have learned a lot from you, Tsuyuzaki-san.
Mahiru:
Thank you. I'm happy to heat that. I wish I could do something to show my appreciation.
Shizuha:
Thank you so much, Tsuyuzaki-san, but there's no need for that.
Aruru:
Yeah, you already did that on stage!
Mahiru:
But...
Misora:
*growl*
Mahiru:
...Are you hungry?
Misora:
No, this is-!
Lalafin:
Did you have a flashback to Mahiru's dishes?
Misora:
Yeah... Ever since that day, every time I think of Tsuyuzaki-san I feel hungry...
Tsukasa:
That's rude!
Mahiru:
I guess I'm honored.
Tsukasa:
Really!?
Mahiru:
How about I cook for you again then?
Misora:
Absolutely!
Tsukasa:
That sure cheered you up...!
Mahiru:
...Oh, but I used up all the ingredients last time...
Misora:
That's fine! It's a pity we can't enjoy your homegrown veggies, but your food will be delicious all the same!
Mahiru:
...Ah, actually-!
Lalafin:
Huh?
Mahiru:
Maybe...
Mahiru:
Maybe they are ready to be eaten...Ah!
Hikari:
Did you come to check on your plants?
Lalafin:
Are these...your vegetables?
Mahiru:
I've been growing them from the seeds my family sent me. There are veggies and fruit.
Mahiru:
But since I was rehearsing at your school, Hikari-can has been looking over them.
Mahiru:
Thank you so much, Hikari-chan!
Hikari:
I made you a promise, after all. Besides, everyone helped.
Misora:
Bell peppers, potatoes, radish...So many! Even pumpkins!
Mahiru:
You took really good care of them.
Hikari:
Just followed the notes you gave me.
Lalafin:
She shares your passion for them as well.
Lalafin:
Even when the hero isn't present. their spirit resides in everyone's heart...!
Lalafin:
Could it be that you're a natural hero...!?
Mahiru:
Heh heh. I'm honored that you feel that way.
Mahiru:
I have to thank you for teaching me what that spirit is, though. You're a her too, Lala-chan.
Lalafin:
Heh heh!
Aruru:
Mahiru-chaaan! Which one should we harvest? This big one...?
Misora:
Aruru! wait for Mahiru to tell us!
Lalafin:
Mahiru! Someone is asking for the hero!
Mahiru:
Okaaay! On my way!
Mahiru:
I hope Karen-chan and Hikari-chan have been keeping up with their cleaning while I'm rehearsing at Frontier...
Mahiru:
We're lucky that we have so many cooking tools in the modern day. It must have been hard back in the day...
Mahiru:
People had to make a fire, and go to great lengths to gather water. Just the basics took so much time...
Mahiru:
But I'm sure seeing the smiles on their family's faces made that all worthwhile.
