2nd Course - Chocolate Kisses

[Video]

[The vine turns on to the image of Kazumi in a room you might not recognize if you don't know what the inside of Akira Satou's apartment looks like. Even if you do, you might not recognize it: everything's been cleaned up and organized and it looks like there's at least 3 things cooking in the kitchen right now]

It's definitely a lot more fun cooking for more people. It's hard cooking just one serving, so you end up eating the same thing for a while if you're by yourself. Cooking for other people means you get to cook new things more often! Though...

[The girl looks over at the stove, ahoge twitching before she turns back to the vine]

...I think I might have made too much! So, um, Akira, if there's anyone you want to bring over for dinner, well... tonight would be a good night? I got all my things moved in [It was mostly food and cooking stuff. Your fridge has never been so stocked] and wanted to make something nice to celebrate but I kind of went overboard, eheh... I just really wanted to thank you for this! And for the kiss, hehe.

[She giggles and blushes a little, then remembers the vine's still showing and turns her attention back to it, all happy, innocent smiles again]

Anyway! Who else out there likes cooking? The party made me think, there's probably people here who are from different places with aaaaall sorts of different cooking! We should exchange recipes!

Did she get herself in trouble? Kissing too many girls?

[starofpleiades]

Something like that. There was at least one girl who wasn't too happy about it.

[gun_cata]

Oh boy. I hope she doesn't get you tangled up in it.

[starofpleiades]

I'm trying to stay out of it... I just cook here!

[gun_cata]

Good luck. One person taking something like this more seriously than someone else can get a bit stressful.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah, it seems like it... well, hopefully they'll work it out!

[gun_cata]

Oh, probably. There aren't too many people here who hold grudges, and Akira's tough to get angry at.

[starofpleiades]

Heheheh, I can sort of see what you mean. I was a little upset myself, but...

[gun_cata]

Yeah... that's understandable. She should probably be a little more careful when she's drinking.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, me too... I think I got a little more into it than I should have because of the alcohol...

[gun_cata]

Eh, everything had alcohol in it, and you're young, so it's not like it's really your fault.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah... I've never really drank before, so. That was interesting.

[gun_cata]

Ha, the first time you get drunk is usually pretty special. At least you mostly had fun with it.

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, yeah, it was a fun party to be at! And nothing bad happened... heheh, the opposite if anything!

[gun_cata]

As long as no one stays too angry about anything, and focuses on the good. It was definitely full of it.

[starofpleiades]

Yup!

Ah, you know, I don't think I got your name yet! I'm Kazumi.

[gun_cata]

Oh, right. Larry Vincent. Nice to meet you, Kazumi.

[ Man so many Japanese girls here. ]

[starofpleiades]

Nice to meet you too, Larry! [Wait, isn't that a guy's name? WELL, MAYBE IT'S GENDER-NEUTRAL (no, Kazumi, it's not)]

Have you been here for a while?

[gun_cata]

[ Don't ask questions. ]

A while... I've been here as long as almost anyone, probably about a... year and a half? No, even more than that, I think. Sheesh.

[starofpleiades]

Wow, that's really a long time... so do those kinds of parties happen a lot?

[gun_cata]

It's way too long.

Nothing like that! That was definitely the wildest party the whole time I've been here.

[starofpleiades]

Aww... though I guess that makes sense! It's not every day a Pirate Queen comes visiting, huh? I'm glad they didn't make trouble.

[gun_cata]

Not yet, anyways. Hopefully this party's all they're up to, though, or at least nothing any worse than that.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah... wait, what if it was a distraction? She never did show up at the party! I think, anyway...

[gun_cata]

Then it was a really effective distraction! I'm pretty sure she didn't show up, so if she was messing with things behind the scenes no one would have noticed.
