Happy birthday to Ensemble Girls!'s wild child, Koharu Ougi! Many thanks to manbouwords for the proofreading...♪



Koharu: Rawr~☆

Rawr-rawr, squeeze-squeeze ♪ Rawr, squeezey-squeeeze ♪

Raaawr~, cooking's sooo much fun! Hunting's tons of fun too, but I really love cooking just as much!

And it's all thanks ta Chichi!

Her Excellency was hesitant ta return, but we managed it! Every day's gonna be really super-duper fun from now on ♪

I can only make stuff if I follow the recipe, but the doctor said my palate oughta improve soon ♪

Then when I get a hang of all this flavor business I'll learn ta make all kindsa recipes!

Maybe I'll even be able to make somethin' Her Excellency can eat, just like Chichi ♪

I'll train with all my heart just for that day!

You gotta start with the basics, and then you can put 'em to good use after! That's what Her Excellency said, rawr-rawr~ ♪

Aw crumbs, it's burnt? Rawrrr~ Guess my nose decided to ditch along with my sense of taste?

I could burn down the whole Home-Ec Room if I can't smell anything!

Her Excellency'd get mad at me and kick me right outta the club!

I gotta be more careful since it's all 'cause of Chichi that I even got a place I fit in at!

I gotta take real good care of this place ♪

Raaawr~ Is this how you turn off the flames?

I'm no good with stuff like gas stoves or microwaves!

Open fires are way easier and the food's super tasty too!

Why can't I cook outsiiide, the weather's great and everything! Though the last time I started a little fire, didn't someone from the Athletics Committee get all huffy..?

But you need a fire ta cook! That's what Daddy said, rawr-raaawr~ ♪

Nnngh, I ain't used ta city livin' yet. I gotta become a proper member of society soon.

I couldn't stay in the jungle forever, that's no way ta live~.

Chichi and Her Excellency wouldn't be around! I'd hate that.

Alrighty, I gotta get down here? And turn the gas valve!

I won't be cooking over a fire anymore soon enough, rawr-rawr~♪

Rawr, someone’s here! Who’re you? The Home-Ec Room is the Cooking Club’s territory! You can’t just come in willy-nilly…



Ack!?

Owie, I got up way too fast and smacked my head...

Is there a bump? Geez, you better take responsibility for it!

Rawr? Who’re you anyway?

Raaawr, you’re the guy who’s friends with Chichi! She calls you “Big Bro-senpai,” so can I call you that too?

A friend of Chichi’s is a friend of mine! Put ‘er there~♪

Didja need something from the Home-Ec Room?

Chichi’s not here ‘cause she and Her Excellency went to Chichi’s grandma’s shop, y'see~?

Her Excellency took a liking to Chichi, so she accompanied her ♪

They usually hit up restaurants together!

Seems like today Chichi invited her along to her grandma’s shop to thank Her Excellency ♪

I was gonna go too, but I don’t really get what flavor is.

It’d be a waste of money if I went, so I’m holding down the fort instead ♪

Chichi’s so nice, saying stuff like, “Let’s go together, Koharu-chan!”...

That’s why I don’t want to cause trouble for my beloved Chichi.

You need money to eat at restaurants, and it’s against my family’s rule to get an allowance.

Money’s way too useful, so you gotta do stuff like bartering to start off with...

When you understand the value of things, then you can participate in monetized economics. At least, that’s what Daddy says ♪

So if I go to a restaurant or something like that, then I’d have ta get someone else ta pay for me. Ain’t that just a load of trouble?

I don’t wanna waste anyone’s time or money, so I’m gonna master cooking!

If my palate improves, then I can hit up restaurants with everyone else ♪

I’m just being super patient right now, looking forward ta that day ♪

Raaawr~? I see, so you came ta pick up the Cooking Club’s financial report?

Her Excellency takes things easy, so she always misses the deadline?

If Chichi comes back, you can try asking her about the report, 'kay?

Raaawr~ Sorry. I don’t even know where ta find that... What was it again? Financial report?

You came all the way to the Home-Ec room, and it just turned out ta be a fool’s errand, didn’t it?

Rawr~ You don’t gotta apologize. If it’ll make you feel better, you wanna eat something I made?

Nah, I wantcha to have some, Big Bro-senpai ♪

I don’t understand flavors, so I wantcha ta sample it for me.

You were a judge in the cooking tournament, weren’tcha? So you gotta have a good sense of taste, yeah?

Raaawr~ don’t hold back! I wantcha to eat, so eat! ♪

Yeah, yeah, just scarf it down! Is it tasty? That's a relief~♪

You’re a good guy, aren’tcha! You’re really close with Chichi, and Chichi’s someone with taste!

I get why Chichi likes you so much, Big Bro-senpai~♪

Raaawr~ If you want, you can come by and eat my cooking again.

Daddy says that the way ta a man’s heart is through his stomach. If I wanna be friends with someone, then I’ve gotta make some tasty grub.

I’d be happy if you came ta like me and my cooking too, Big Bro-senpai ♪
