Chapter 4: Dinner

Mamoru and Usagi returned to the campsite, it was almost sunset.

"Nice hike at the hill, right, Usako?"

"Yes. Mamo-chan."

"Get some pasta and some ingredients, we're going to eat some pasta."

"Pasta in camp?"

"That's right, just some ingredients are enough."

"Shouldn't we get some water first?"

"You're right, Please help me get some water. It's not too far."

Usagi then walked to the campsite and opened the water and fill it inside the pot.

"Hoop!" She said as she put it on the stall.

"This pot is enough for the both of us."

"Would you leave some for me later?"

"Of course I would, Usako. Don't worry."

Mamoru put the camp stove on the camping table.

"Help me get a strainer from my bag."

"Here."

He then put the lid on the top of the pot and wait for the water to boil.

"Usako. It's not like you when you cook along with me."

"Cook?"

"You usually ignore me when I ask you to cook along with me."

"No, Mamo chan, that's the past."

"Sometimes you're playing with me. I Still remember the time when we were making fried chicken, suppose the chicken is alright. And then you put it in the oven and baked for 3 minutes, the chicken burnt afterwards."

"I'm sorry, Mamo chan. Because when I saw the colour of the chicken, it's not even orange."

"Thankfully we still have salad left, or else we will starve."

"Are you angry at me?"

"A bit, however, we still have a lot of chances for cooking chicken, and it's not a big deal."

"Glad to hear that."

"Let's cook together more, you can try cooking other foods by yourself."

A few minutes later, the water was boiled, and she drained the water with the strainer. Usagi then put the pasta inside the pot, followed by some bacon bits, cheese, and some parsley. She stirred the ingredients lightly to make sure they are mixed well.

"I thought we are going to eat meatballs with tomato sauce?"

"Is it much easier for cooking cream pasta."

"I wish I could eat meatballs….."

"We can eat someday."

"I guess so."

"I hope this works, I actually watch a video of making a cream pasta before we got out."

After a while, the cream pasta was cooked.

"I tasted the pasta, it was good."

"How good was that?"

"Taste it."

Mamoru use the chopsticks to grab the pasta and put it inside the bowl. It let out a nice smell with cheese, and some bacon.

"Let me try it."

Usagi then take a small bite of the pasta. She felt the cream of the pasta, so does the softness.

"Yep, Mamo chan , you really did a good job on cooking the pasta."

"My cooking skills are not bad, right, Usako?"

"It's good."

"How about I cook more pasta for you, Mamo chan?"

"It would be nice to hear that, Usako. But It would be better if you could cook something else besides pasta, you can cook something else like fried rice, if you don't mind."

"Sure. How about a risotto?"

"I like to her that, Usako."

"Can you leave some pasta for me?"

"Sure, Usako."

"Thanks, Mamo chan."

They ate the pasta happily.
