Part 1
Shopping Mall
Minori
Oh, Haruka, over here!
Haruka
Airi! Minori!
Sorry, the train arrived a little late...
Sorry, the train arrived a little late...
Airi
You're fine, you're right on time. We just got here a second ago ourselves.
Minori
Today, we're gonna whip up something that's nutritious, delicious and washes away any fatigue Shizuku's feeling!
Haruka
Hehe. Sounds good.
Haruka
(Shizuku's been practicing really late basically every day to make sure that her commercial turns out well...)
Haruka
(This is all I can really do for her right now, but I hope it helps.)
Airi
Anyway, shall we head over to the supermarket? We can decide what we're gonna make while we walk.
Haruka
We have a few candidates, but we still haven't been able to pick a winner.
Minori
Hmm... Is something hearty the answer?
She's been working a lot on her physique, so I have to think that she's worked up a huge appetite.

Haruka
Yeah, she's going to need something nutritious to recharge. Apparently, if you exercise on low energy reserves, your body begins breaking down muscle for fuel.
Airi
But something light is also an option, right?
We gave her something meat-based just the other day.

Haruka
True... Then, what if we went with several light options, which will allow her to freely adjust her portions?
Minori
Yeah, that sounds good!
Haruka
Also, fatigue makes you more susceptible to feeling under the weather, so we'll need to be sure to strike a good nutritional balance.
Minori
Right... It does become easier to catch a cold when your immune system is in a weakened state!
Airi
Alright, we're gonna make something that's both light and nutritious...
Airi
So, how about we use veggies packed with beta-carotene? They're also usually loaded with vitamins.
Haruka
Chicken breast is also a must.
It's a nice, low-fat source of protein with the skin removed. Not only does it help you recover quickly, it's also great for your physique.

Minori
Oh, a low-calorie dish that's also really good for you is just what we're looking for this time around!
Haruka
Hehe. Exactly.
Anyway, what else can we do...?
Anyway, what else can we do...?
Minori
Hmm... Oh, I know! What if we included some of Shizuku's favorite foods as a way to help put her mind at ease?
Minori
Like... Tofu skin or udon!
Airi
Udon?! That's a full dish by itself...!
Haruka
But I like that idea.
Not only should eating her favorite foods have a calming effect, they might also help her focus better during practices.

Haruka
Actually, question.
Is there anything Shizuku really dislikes other than spicy foods?

Airi
As far as I know, not really.
Haruka
Then...
Minori
Phew...
We came up with a ton of ideas!
We came up with a ton of ideas!
Airi
Veggies high in beta-carotene, chicken breast, tofu skin, cabbage, olive oil... And vinegar, right?
Haruka
Yeah, but it might be harder to pick a dish now.
Minori
Hmm... If only there were a way for us to cram all these things into a tidy package...
Airi
That'd be far too good to be true.
Haruka
A tidy package...
Haruka
There might actually be a way.
Minori & Airi
What?
Haruka
We could use all of the things we just listed to make tortilla wraps.
Minori
Tortilla wraps?
Airi
Tortillas? As in the kind you use to make tacos and stuff?
Haruka
Yeah, but I was thinking we could use corn instead of flour tortillas, since they're apparently full of minerals and fiber.
Haruka
Also, it'd make things pretty easy for her, since all she'd have to do is put on whatever she likes and wrap it.
Airi
Right... That'd give her a lot more freedom, and we'd be able to include all the ingredients we just listed.
Haruka
I just happened to come across it yesterday while searching for things we could make.
Haruka
I saw it on this site...
This person made them look nice by wrapping them in fancy paper.

Airi
Yeah, these look like little bouquets.
Minori
Oh, what if we got some paper with a design that Shizuku would really like?!
Airi
Plus, we have a huge list of ingredients, so it should be fun to try different combinations!
Haruka
Both ideas sound good. So, why don't we spend today making Shizuku some wraps that we think she'd really like?
Minori & Airi
Yeah!
