"I got you this. As a thank-you."

Makoto shot Mamoru a stern (but delighted) look and opened the box. She revealed an apron in shades of pink, frilly enough to be pretty without being impractical.

"Like it?"

"I love it! Actually, I got you something, too."

Mamoru blinked in surprise at the identical box. Inside was an offensively bright lime green apron embroidered with "EARTH".

"I stitched that myself."

"Really, I wouldn't have guessed," Mamoru said in a flat tone, but couldn't help smiling.

In unison, they donned the aprons.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

"Welcome to Kino Cooking 101."
