[At least he's learning.]

Well. You make it yourself often enough. I thought a change would be nice.

[ironbuttmonkey]

No, no, you're right.

[Not really tho.]

Maybe beef ribs or something. Is that okay?

[disrobes]

Beef ribs.

[You can almost hear her making the mental notes.]

Is there a particular way you'd like them prepared?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Just as plainly as possible...no spices, no sauces, nothing like that.

[disrobes]

Really? Very well. I will see what I can manage, in that case.

[She's going to make you the best gd ribs you've ever had, Uzu.]

Is that really all though?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Well, pretty much...to tell you the truth, I'm not particularly fussy when it comes to food.

It's not about what you make after all, it's all about how you make it.

[Y'ALL READY TO GET PHILOSOPHICAL ABOUT FOOD.]

[disrobes]

You do have a point, but still. Perhaps I should teach you a bit about being just a tiny bit picky.

[She's super ready dude, bring it.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

But food can be cooked a lot of different ways, right? If you know exactly what a person likes, it's easy to change a recipe around to accommodate what kind of flavors they enjoy. That's what I mean about how you cook something - if you really want someone to enjoy their meal, you can definitely express those feelings through cooking! You just need to know them well enough.

That's why konnyaku is a food of unlimited potential. You can make it into anything - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sweet, sour, savory, spicy, soups, noodles, grilled, fried...no matter the person you're making it for, it's easy to make it into something anyone can enjoy, so you can express your feelings towards anyone with it. It can connect the hearts of any number of people through how adaptable it is as an ingredient.

And that...is the true spirit of cooking, Lady Satsuki. So long as you remember that, it doesn't matter what you make for me. I'll be guaranteed to enjoy it.

[BECAUSE THAT'S HOW ANIME WORKS.

AND HIS ANIME DAD TOLD HIM THIS PROBABLY, SO.]

[disrobes]

[She is not expecting that. In the slightest. It takes a considerable amount of her impressive willpower not to chuckle at his vehemence, and instead she makes a quiet sound and finally murmurs-]

I see. Well, while I can agree that intent and foreknowledge of the person you are cooking for do help, a bit of skill in the preparation does make a considerable difference. Especially if one is trying to convey something with the meal.

...but I will do my best, in that case, to make sure I can make you something enjoyable, Uzu.

[ironbuttmonkey]

Of course you will! You're in possession of the secret behind the Sanageyama family's cooking technique now, Lady Satsuki. There's no way you can fail.

[Alright he's kind of half-joking here, even he doesn't think it's that much of a big deal.]

[disrobes]

[And she does laugh now, quietly and hey, at least it doesn't sound like she's making fun of him?]

I will do my best to apply this technique to a suitable standard.

[ironbuttmonkey]

By the way, if you don't mind me asking...what brought this on so suddenly?

[disrobes]

I have been considering it since all of you were rescued, however I only now realized something should be done since you're all home relatively safe and sound.
