Morning. Yu-yu and Mirei head out for a spree.
"Make sure to hold my hands tight~"
"Mhmm. Let's get some vegetables. Where's my note—"
"Sweet potato, asparagus, eggplant, carrot, onion and shiitake!"
"You remembered all of those!?"
"All in my head, hihi."
"Must be excited for tonight, right?"
"I think we have eggs and flour at home already. Soy sauce and other spices too."
"Do you want some seafood today? It'd be a nice change of flavour."
"Hurray! Of course! Prawns, shrimps. Tuna, too! I can make sashimi!"
"Alright then!"
"I want to ask you something."
"Sure, Mirei."
"Do you like cookies?"
"It tastes delicious."
"Let's make some this afternoon, then."
"Sweet!"
They arrive home.
"Time to get heated up!"
"We can leave the batter latter, so I will prepare the vegetables. You make the dough for the cookies."
"OK."
(Blender noises) "Bring me the chocolate and nuts."
"Here. "
"Thank you!"
"Sprinkle a lil' flour, and roll."
"After I peel off the prawns, I can help making the shapes."
"Mhmm."
(Oven shuts) "There you go."
"Thanks for helping me a bit. Time to prepare the sashimi."
"Make sure you don't hurt yourself."
"Hihihi. I will be careful, don't worry."
"Done!"
"Let's see, let's see… You have done quite a great job, isn't it?"
"Alongside tuna, I also made kani salad. Some crab sticks, carrot, cucumber, mango with seasonings and there you go~"
"I love this! The cookies should be done by now, too."
"Yay! We can have a small tea break, shall we?"
(Crunch noises) "Yum! This is what I live for!"
"Mhmm. You can be a good confectioner if you desire."
"That's my childhood dream, hihi."
(Tea sipping) "You know, time sure flows by fast."
(Tea sipping) "We have been together for a long while now. I feel like sometimes I even lost track of time."
"We are just so caught up in this happiness, right Mirei?."
The two smile at each other. Then, they realize…
"Uh…"
There is 1 heart-shaped cookie left.
"What should we do now, Mirei?"
"Maybe let's eat it together then. No halving, just hold and we munch it."
"Hihi…Hahaha. Sure~"
"…Miso soup is good. Hey, Yu-yu, how's the batter?"
"All good."
"Time to set up the party. This will be fun."
Bell rings.
"Yu-yu!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Was I late, Yu-yu?"
"No, Danji-san. Come!"
"Thanks."
"Brother!"
"Hi, Mirei. How are you doing?"
"Very well. Join us at the table!"
"Holy moly! That's a ton for today."
(Beer opening) "How is your day, Danji-san?"
"Smooth. Thanks for the beer, Yu-yu."
"Now, everyone, it's time for the food!"
"Then… Itadakimasu."
"Itadakimasu."
"Mhmm~"
"It's mercilessly good! Seriously!"
"Thanks, Danji-san. How do you think, Mirei-s…"
Mirei smugs.
"Well… Hey, you have something on your face, Mirei."
"Dropping the honorific, I see."
"Yu-yu and I are equal now, you see. I think it's fine to just call each other normally."
"I usually call her without the honorific too. It's just… perhaps you are here, so—"
Mirei points to Yu-yu's lip.
"My brother is very kind, you know. Here, say 'Ah~'!"
"Ah~"
Danji smiles.
"Yu-yu. Want to have a shot?"
"Sure."
"Guess I'll take one also."
"Nice. (Can opening) You and Mirei seem to have a fun time together."
"Yup! Yu-yu is so friendly and lovely!"
"For me, Mirei is really enthusiastic and funny. Everyday with her feels like a breath of fresh air."
"It's very pleasing to hear that, truthfully. I have seen your wedding photo too. It looks fascinating."
"That day was simple, yet memorable."
"It's true, Yu-yu."
"It's something worth to remember, indeed. Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Thanks for coming, brother."
"Thanks, Mirei. Yu-yu, it was really a good meal today."
"You can also thank Mirei for that too."
"Ahahaha. Sorry for not bringing any gifts today. I was a bit rushed today."
"It's fine, brother. What matters the most is all of us having fun together!"
"True. See you later, you two!"
At bedroom
"Ah, everything we made today was so delicious."
"About a few weeks until summer ends, huh. Yu-yu!"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to make a noodle slide?"
