Hina has two older sisters, but Nao is the one she looks up to. Nao is faster and stronger than Hina's other siblings, and also a good cook. Hina has gotten pretty good at helping her with chores, but she still isn't any good at cooking. Watching and imitating her sister haven't made Hina's results any better, which is why Hina is at the local library now.

Nao is cool, and doesn't need to read books. At least, this is how Hina sees it. Kind big sister that she is, Nao has always encouraged her to read when she wants to, and Hina does like reading.

There are a surprising number of cookbooks on the shelves. Hina gasps when she sees the size of the section. One by one, she reads the titles as she looks for something easy to learn from.

"The Science Of Sweets? I need something easier. Poisonous Animals And How To Eat Them? No, that's gross. Healthy Meals For Beginners? That should be perfect!"

Hina reaches out to take the book from the shelf, but just as she is about to touch the book, another hand collides with hers. By reflex, she jerks her hand back, and turns to look at the other person.

It is a boy. He has short, black hair and wears thick glasses. He is a bit shorter than Hina is, and seems as surprised to see her as she is to see him.

"'Healthy Meals For Beginners'," he says. "There are two of us, but only one copy of the book."

Hina gulps. "Right?"

The boy adjusts his glasses, revealing beautiful blue eyes. "My name is Jirou. Would you like to read it together?"
