Chapter Text
Today’s the day that we promised the viewers that we’ll proceed with takoyaki party. Nana-san had brought the ingredients beforehand for all of us. I was surprised when I opened the door for the both of them, only to see them with hand full of grocery bags. I strode forward immediately and offered help with the groceries.
[Thank you Zun-chan! I think Yuuchan have more bags in her hands instead, I’ll go over to the freezer first. Help Yuiri-mama first!] Nana-san said as she dashed into the kitchen after kicking off her shoes at the side.
I responded as I took some load off Yuiri-san. With the corner of my eyes, I saw it, Yuiri-san closed the doors but she also bent down to arrange Nana-san’s shoes! I am taking down this in my memo.
[Zun, do you want to get changed first while we set up the dishes here?] Yuiri-san asked as she left the groceries on the counter and took over the ones from me too.
I nodded as I jotted off to my room. I’ve decided to get twin tails done after changing into a one piece checkered dress, proudly matching my checkered dress with Nana-san’s checkered shirt too.
[Zun looks like a young child with that outfit doesn't she?] Nana-san asked Yuiri-san as she start to fill the bowls with the ingredients.
[Yeah she does, especially that twin tail, it’s really cute.] Yuiri echoed, as she arranges the dishes on the table. [I need to set up my phone at the front too. Zun, do you have some tape?]
[Yup, here you go!] I passed her the roll of tapes that was on the table.
[The food are all ready! We can start anytime Yuuchan!] Nana-san said as she placed the bottles of mayonnaise and sauces on the table.
As expected from yuunaa-san, their coordination in the kitchen was as great as their performances in theatre. It did not take them long before they prepared the ingredients for our dinner. Yuiri-san began arranging and fiddling with her phone at the front, [Ah, it started.]
All of us clapped as Nana-san announced that we managed to fulfil our promise for having this Takoyaki party showroom after our pancake showroom the last time.
[I can’t see the comments from this distance at all.] Yuiri-san said as she stood up and stepped towards her phone. Nana-san and I raised our phones and told her that we could just see the comments through our phones as well. And Nana-san offered to be the one in-charge of the comments from the fans today.
Nana-san began the first round of cooking as she brushed the pan with oil, [We’ll start the first round with free-style, let’s add whichever ingredients we want to eat!] She poured in the batter into the pan after stirring the huge metal bowl of batter.
[We, yuunaa actually hate tomatoes lots.] Nana-san confessed as she started adding in ingredients.
[Eh?] I blurted out as this is the first time I hear them not liking a certain kind of food, but now that I gave it some thought, indeed we never had tomatoes in our meals when we ate together too.
[But I heard if the tomatoes are cooked, they doesn't taste too bad.] Nana-san added.
Nana-san and I began flipping the takoyaki as Yuiri-san went to her phone to adjust the angle of the camera. After adjusting, Yuiri-san took over Nana-san’s phone and began reading the comments as we continued with takoyaki flipping. It felt like family cooking dinner together whilst Yuiri-san began eating the ingredients even though we are still cooking the takoyaki next to her… Nana-san glanced towards Yuiri-san, [The takoyaki should be ready soon, Zun and I are almost done, just a little more. Zun-chan, could you pass me a plate?] Ah~ Nana-san has now entered Naa-papa mode now, subtly showering Yuiri-mama with attention and care.
I poured tea for them as Naa-papa scooped up the takoyaki skillfully.
After splitting the takoyaki, we decided to guess the ingredients that was added as we eat.
Yuiri-mama took her first bite and immediately covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and coughing a little. Naa-papa responded immediately with care, [Are you alright?] Yuiri-mama just nodded and replied, [Tako, 2 of them.] as she looked down and away from us, still covering her mouth gently. I passed her the cup of tea, in hopes that she could feel better if she choked on her food.
And Naa-papa praised that I am a good girl for it. I feel so happy!
It went on for some time as we tried to figure out who had the takoyaki with tomato. And in the end, Yuiri-mama had hit the jackpot with the tomato takoyaki which commented that it was nice. Naa-papa further re-emphasized that tomato was cooked is indeed nicer and more edible than the raw ones.
We proceeded to start the second round of takoyaki making, Naa-papa packed the takoyaki with cheese, commenting that it will taste really good.
An evil thought came to my mind as I pointed at the tomatoes and eyed at Naa-papa, and pointed at Yuiri-mama who was off at the kitchen preparing some more food for us. Naa-papa and I did the ‘shh’ motion towards the camera as Naa-papa put two separate takoyaki. After reading some comments, Naa-papa took the wasabi to add into one of the takoyaki balls.
Yuiri-mama returned with a plate and took a seat next to Naa-papa as she checked the comments and gifts log.
[Uhhhh… It is confirmed that Yuuchan is Naachan’s wife-san? Thank you for your tower!] Yuiri-mama read out the name of the donor. Naa-papa and I thanked with bright smiles on our faces as Yuiri-mama just casually pulled locks of her hair back behind her ears, ignoring our cheers and high tension.
[Thank you to you too Zun-chan!] Naa-papa thanked me as she flips the takoyaki with me.
[Of course! My pleasure!] I nodded as I flipped another takoyaki.
Yuiri-mama continued to ignore our exchanges.
Naa-papa took one of the takoyaki and offered it to Yuiri-mama immediately after she sees that they are ready. Suzuha saw it, with the corner of my eyes, Naa-papa raised her hand up to around the level of Yuiri-mama’s mouth but she looked away and grab her plate for Naa-papa to put them onto her plate instead.
[It’s done!] Naa-papa said as we began to split the second round of takoyaki, I secretly flipped the ones that Naa-papa and I created and put them on her plate. Initially, I wanted to leave them on Yuiri-mama’s plate but she was a little too far for me to reach out, it will be too suspicious. I’m sorry Naa-papa, you’ll have to eat it or pass it to Yuiri-mama.
Naa-papa began eating and praising the combination, while Yuiri-mama continued to blow the takoyaki to cool them down. However we still see her flinched after attempting to swallow it in one go.
[Are you ok?] Naa-papa asked, with a face of concern. Yuiri-mama nodded as she continued to cover her face as she tried to cool the takoyaki down.
[Ah apparently if you heat up the wasabi takoyaki, the spiciness is gone?] Naa-papa said as she read out one of the comments.
[Is that why we didn't find it?] I asked.
[Maybe we ate it without realizing it…] Naa-papa trailed off.
But we were both shocked when Yuiri-mama suddenly reached out and patted Naa-papa’s laps.
[Eh? Wasabi?] Naa-papa asked. But Naa-papa, I see that the corner of your mouth is grinning, I’m sure that you will comfort and apologise to Yuiri-mama…
[It’s wasabi!] Yuiri-mama let out a groan as she look up and covered her mouth with her sleeves.
[Yay!] Naa-papa and I hi-fived as we cheered.
[It’s spicy. It is very, very spicy.] Yuiri-mama continued as she covered her mouth with her palm and tries to control her tears.
[Here, have some water. There’s water here.] Naa-papa immediately passed her the cup of water. See, Suzuha told you so, as expected of Naa-papa. Even though we are supposed to prank Yuiri-mama, in the end… I mean, at the end of the day, Naa-papa is the first to give in to Yuiri-mama.
[Is it still spicy?] Naa-papa asked with concern sparkling in her eyes as she looked at Yuiri-mama.
[Ye… I mean yes.] Yuiri-mama said as she pinched her nose, changing her voice as she responded to Naa-papa.
Naa-papa let out a chuckle but she immediately bowed down and drew circles on Yuiri-mama’s lap. [I’m sorry.]
As expected of Naa-papa… We have yet followed through but she apologized immediately… Maybe Yuiri-mama have something against Naa-papa? I need to do more investigations.
[How about this, Zun-chan and I make takoyaki for Naachan?] Yuiri-mama suggested as she stood up from her seat.
Naa-papa and I agreed immediately to this new game that she suggested. Although… Suzuha thinks that this sounds like Yuiri-mama is plotting her revenge? Maybe I am thinking a little too much on this. Hmmm….
