I was wondering if you were setting up an early-morning prank, so I came to take a peek.>

Also, it's not really a prank per se...
I just thought that I could whip up a nice, healthy breakfast for everyone.

Airi
Yeah. Initially, I thought it would've been fun to make dinner together yesterday and stream it...
Airi
But I didn't feel too great about having everyone do that after a long day of working out. So, I decided to do a breakfast stream on my own.
MEIKO
<At the same time, this is you we're talking about, Airi... This isn't going to be any ordinary breakfast that you'll be streaming, will it?>
Airi
Hehe. Bullseye!
I have something special planned for our viewers at the end of our cooking segment!

Hehe. The rest you'll just have to find out by watching, so I hope you get a chance to join us!

<Yes! An early-morning stream!>
<I didn't know when you'd be back, so I've been waiting this entire time.>
<Is it just you, Airi? Are the others still asleep?>

<Oh, breakfast cooked by Airi. I bet it'll be a healthy, balanced one.>
<I think I'll make myself some breakfast too.>

First, I'll be frying up some slices of salmon. As for prep... I'll be using these ones that I put in a light salt and sake marinade fifteen minutes before this stream began.
Comments
<Way to go, Airi! She's always prepared!>
<Fifteen minutes is pretty long. You'd have to turn your cooking stream into a talk show to fill that gap.>
<Does the place you're staying at not offer a complimentary breakfast?>

Airi
Oh, the plan we picked for the cottage we're staying at did include a breakfast option.
Airi
But I decided to not choose it since I saw that there was an outdoor kitchen, which seemed much more enjoyable.
Airi
Oh, my frying pan seems just about ready, so let's start cooking these up. Now, a word of precaution...
Airi
There's a lot of fat under the skin, so be mindful of the oil that drips off and spatters as it hits the surface of the pan. Remember, everyone, safety first!

<Yeah, the skin's always tricky to deal with.>
<It's interesting how there's so much fat there and not so much in the actual meat.>
<Do you guys like to eat the skin or set it aside?>

Airi
Oh, I'd like to know what you guys like as well! As for me, I really love salmon skin!
Airi
And look at that! They're coming along really nicely. Now, I'll be turning off the stove to let them rest a bit, while I bring over the veggies I just chopped up...
Airi
The ones for the miso soup will go straight into that pot, I can put the salad veggies onto their plates and... Voila! Just like that, two dishes are ready! Easy, right?
Comments
<That was so fast...>
<You're a total pro, Airi...>
<I wanna try your miso soup, Airi.>

Some of you already seem to know what's going on. I'll need you guys to write in the comments about which ingredients I bought at random should go into our smoothies...!
Airi
I'll throw the four most popular ones, along with three of my choosing, into the blender! After it's all mixed up, we'll all drink it together!
Comments
<Yay! We get to choose!>
<Wait, there's no guarantee that our choices will mix well...>
<Fruits, vegetables, tofu... There's a lot to choose from...>

Hehe. It's more fun when you spice up a cooking segment like this, right? So, let's start by choosing our first ingredient!

This looks...interesting.
I sorta regret buying the things I did now that I'm seeing what I'll actually be drinking...

Still, you got up early to make breakfast for us... We would've helped if you let us know.
Airi
For now, let's set that aside...
Bon appetit...is what I would say, but I have another surprise laying in wait!

Yup. With the help of our viewers, I whipped up some “break-a-leg smoothies” in the hopes that our solo show succeeds.

<Can't wait! Let's go!>
<What's it gonna taste like...?>
<It might not look good, but drinking it will show that you're all committed.>

Bitter melons, natto, green chilis, mushrooms... With a mix of sweet fruits picked by me to round out the flavor!

Exactly.
Especially since we made these in the hopes that our solo show will succeed, so we absolutely have to drink them!

Not quite what I was expecting based on this color. It's hard to call it delectable, but it kind of tastes like one of those flavored protein shakes...
Comments
<Whoa, cool! After putting in so much weird stuff...!>
<Honestly, I was expecting it to taste horrible lol.>

Hehe. I know some of you out there are a bit disappointed, but I'm actually really glad that these turned out better than expected!
Airi
(To be fair, I made sure that I'd be able to cover for whatever they chose by adjusting the flavor on my end...)
Comments
<I guess it's good that they didn't taste bad. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten to see your smiles.>
<This means your show's guaranteed to succeed.>

It's gonna be hard to match this hype, but I promise to come up with more fun stuff for us to do! So stay tuned!
Airi
So, let's get going!
Shizuku, serve the rice into the bowl. Haruka, you're on tea duty. And you carry everything out, Minori. This is a team-building exercise! We gotta move as a unit!

Okay, I'll carry the rice Shizuku's serving for us! Oh, I need to engage my core since we're still training...!
Airi
(It wasn't all roses and sunshine, but I know now that none of my efforts went to waste.)
Airi
After everything we did, the world's our oyster now. That just leaves practicing as much as we can until the day of our show...
Airi
Hehe. Anyway, let's have breakfast.
We need to work as a team here too, so stay focused until the end.
