Honami

Listen

...and Ms. Yoisaki's is straight ahead.
2

Ichika

Listen

Okay...
3

Ichika

Listen

*Sigh*
I'm starting to get nervous...
4

Ichika

Listen

I mean, was it really okay for me to ask her to teach me more about making music using digital tools?
5

Honami

Listen

I'm sure Ms. Yoisaki would've said something if she was really busy or wouldn't be available.
6

Ichika

Listen

Right...
Still, I'm pretty nervous about going over to her house.
7

Ichika

Listen

What are we supposed to talk about first? Where do I even start? Should I thank her for agreeing to help me?
8

Honami

Listen

Hehe...
9

Ichika

Listen

Hey... You could be helping me instead of laughing, Honami.
10

Honami

Listen

Hehe. I'm sorry.
11

Honami

Listen

Starting out by thanking her seems perfectly fine.
12

Ichika

Listen

Yes, I knew it!
After that, I should explain what my song's supposed to be about, right?
13

Honami

Listen

Yes. Then, you two should go up to her room to work on it together.
14

Honami

Listen

While you do, I'll be cleaning the living room and preparing some food. Feel free to ask if you ever need anything, okay?
15

Ichika

Listen

Okay, thanks.
16

Ichika

Listen

But I'll try not to bother you too much, Honami, since you're going over to do work.
17

Ichika

Listen

I mean, keeping you from cleaning and making food for Kanade wouldn't be fair to her either.
18

Honami

Listen

Thank you, Ichika.
19

Honami

Listen

But you've actually been helping for some time now by carrying half of the grocery bags for me.
20

Ichika

Listen

No, this is something I should be doing anyway!
21

Ichika

Listen

At the same time, we bought so much... Rice, vegetables... I was under the impression that you'd cook using whatever ingredients were available at Kanade's house.
22

Honami

Listen

I do that sometimes, but she really doesn't do much grocery shopping outside of buying instant noodles...
23

Honami

Listen

Whenever I go over, the refrigerator's usually empty.
24

Ichika

Listen

I see...
25

Ichika

Listen

Asahina told me a little about her the other day, but I'm starting to understand why you're worried about her eating properly each day.
26

Honami

Listen

Haha...
27

Honami

Listen

Fortunately, the dishes I leave in the refrigerator are usually all gone by my next visit, so she does seem to be eating properly lately.
28

Ichika

Listen

I have to think that the food you make is so good that she can't help but eat it all.
29

Honami

Listen

Hehe. That would make me so happy.
30

Ichika

Listen

You also come up with menus for each day, right?
31

Honami

Listen

Yes. My goals for those involve nutritional balance and including ingredients that are in season.
32

Honami

Listen

I usually think about what to make each day when I visit the grocery store before heading over to her house.
33

Ichika

Listen

That means... You have to think about what to make while shopping, clean her house when you get there, cook... That sounds like a lot.
34

Honami

Listen

It is. However, I also secretly give myself a pat on the back whenever I'm able to cook or clean in a timely manner.
35

Ichika

Listen

That's so you, Honami.
36

Honami

Listen

Also, the way Ms. Yoisaki shows surprise at how clean her room becomes or smiles because she likes something I make puts a big smile on my face.
37

Ichika

Listen

This job seems to really suit you, Honami.
38

Honami

Listen

Hehe. I believe so too.
39

Ichika

Listen

By the way, what's your plan for today?
40

Honami

Listen

I'll be cooking pot-au-feu and pumpkin croquettes for dinner. After that, I'm going to make some mushroom rice for later.
41

Honami

Listen

Also, they had salmon and cod roe on sale, so I'm thinking about making some rice balls for you two to have while you work.
42

Ichika

Listen

Oh, that sounds really nice.
43

Ichika

Listen

Wait, we've only been talking about food... I'm supposed to be learning from her about using digital tools for music.
44

Honami

Listen

Actually, I'm glad we did.
You seem a little less nervous now.
45

Ichika

Listen

Oh, you're right...
46

Ichika

Listen

I hope we get to talk a lot.
There's just so much that I want to ask her.
47

Honami

Listen

I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to do just that.
48

Ichika

Listen

Yeah...
But being taught one on one like this is...
49

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
50

Honami

Listen

...?
Ichika?
51

Ichika

Listen

Honami, once we arrive at Kanade's house, you have to get to work right away...
52

Honami

Listen

Yes, that's right...
53

Ichika

Listen

Which means... I'm going to be alone with Kanade...
54

Honami

Listen

Yes...
55

Ichika

Listen

...
Oh no. I'm getting nervous again.

56

Honami

Listen

Then... Why don't we talk more about food?
57

Ichika

Listen

Yes, please.
58

Honami

Listen

Hehe. No problem. Besides the mushroom rice, I plan on making a different rice dish...
