Akito

Listen

Alright...
Then, we know what we're gonna do for practice tomorrow.
2

An

Listen

Yup! I can't wait to try those new exercises!
3

An

Listen

Still, it feels like it's been forever since we last came up with a plan for practice like this. But I guess that's because my dad took care of all that for a while, huh?
4

Toya

Listen

True, but he did help expand our options in terms of practice quite a bit.
5

Toya

Listen

Now, the onus is on us to come up with the best ways for us to reach our goal.
6

An

Listen

Right! Anyway, now that we know what we're gonna do during practice tomorrow, why don't we take a break?
7

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, I was actually just thinking about ordering a refill.
8

Akito

Listen

Then, I might order some food...
9

???

Listen

Oh...
Are you guys done with your discussion?

10

Akito

Listen

Yeah, we just finished and were thinking about ordering some stuff.
11

Kotaro

Listen

Really?! Your timing couldn't have been better. I actually have a small favor to ask you, Akito...
12

Akito

Listen

A favor?
13

Kotaro

Listen

Yeah, so...
14

Kotaro

Listen

I wanna have you taste-test a new menu item! They're pancakes made using strawberries... You game?
15

Akito

Listen

You want me to taste-test pancakes...?
16

Akito

Listen

(Come to think of it, I haven't had pancakes here at Weekend Garage since before the place closed...)
17

Akito

Listen

In that case, I don't mind lending you a hand.
18

Kotaro

Listen

Thanks, I really appreciate it!
19

Kotaro

Listen

I thought you'd be the person to ask since you used to have pancakes here all the time.
20

Kotaro

Listen

Also, I feel like asking a pancake connoisseur such as yourself was my best option!

Young Vivid Street Locals

Listen

Hey, did you hear that?
Shinonome likes having pancakes...!
22

Young Vivid Street Locals

Listen

Yeah, I didn't know that...!
23

Kotaro

Listen

Oh, that might've been too loud...
A lot of new customers have been coming around this time...
24

Akito

Listen

I don't mind.
25

Toya

Listen

Sorry, Akito.
26

Akito

Listen

Huh?
27

Toya

Listen

You wouldn't stand out so much if I were able to help you eat them. And I would be able to lend Mita a hand...
28

Akito

Listen

Wait, why are you feeling so bad about this?
29

An

Listen

In that case, let us taste-test with him!
30

Kotaro

Listen

Huh?
31

An

Listen

That should help take some attention off Akito like Toya said, right? Are you with us, Kohane?!
32

Kohane

Listen

Oh... Yeah, I agree!
33

Akito

Listen

You guys...
34

Akito

Listen

You're just after some pancakes, aren't you?
35

An

Listen

Hey, we're throwing you a lifesaver here.
36

Kotaro

Listen

I don't mind making more since we've got plenty of ingredients. And I do wanna hear from more people!
37

Kotaro

Listen

Just gimme a second to go whip them up!
Several dozen minutes later

Kotaro

Listen

Check it out!
These are the new Strawberries Galore Pancakes!

39

Kohane

Listen

Wow, so many strawberries! This looks delicious...!
40

Toya

Listen

These pancakes... They have a pink hue to them...
41

Kotaro

Listen

Oh, thanks for noticing!
The batter has strawberries in it! Hence, “strawberries galore”!
42

Akito

Listen

Wow... It sounds like you put a lot of effort into these.
43

Kotaro

Listen

I did! I don't wanna serve any half-baked dishes here.
44

An

Listen

The toppings are so elaborate too!
Okay, let's start digging in!

Sound Effect: Play

45

An

Listen

Mmm! This strawberry sauce is so good!
The fruity tartness goes amazingly well with the sweetness of the pancakes!
46

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, this whipped cream also complements it really well!
47

Kotaro

Listen

I appreciate both your compliments!
After all, I did use fresh strawberries for these.
48

Akito

Listen

Then, lemme try a bit.

49

Kotaro

Listen

What do you think...?!
50

Akito

Listen

Well, they aren't bad.
51

Akito

Listen

But they're a far cry from Ken's pancakes.
52

Kotaro

Listen

Grr! I had a feeling...!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

53

Kohane

Listen

But I think these are really yummy...
54

Kotaro

Listen

Still, Akito's a regular here, so I'm inclined to believe what he's saying.
55

Kotaro

Listen

As bittersweet as this is, I'll just have to make something next time that you'll have no choice but to praise! So get ready!
56

Akito

Listen

Alright, good luck with that.
But I'll be happy to taste-test again if you need me.
57

An

Listen

Hold on a second! That just means you want more pancakes, doesn't it?!
58

Akito

Listen

Not true. Don't put me in the same category as you guys.
59

Akito

Listen

(A lot has changed since RAD BLAST happened...)
60

Akito

Listen

(So it is nice to be able to have pancakes here again.)
