Thank you for waiting, Miku.
Here's your coffee. Please use as much milk and sugar as you like.

Oh, it's very colorful...
Strawberries, kiwis and pineapples. It's very pretty and it looks delicious.

(The cupcakes Toya made ended up looking not very good... I guess it appearance does matter...)
KAITO
Oh, that's actually not a good idea. If you put in too much, your cake will likely balloon out of control and fall apart.
KAITO
Not only that, it won't taste very good, and there's a chance of it becoming incredibly bitter.

Toya
You were...? Actually, I'm glad you're here. I was just about to head over to SEKAI myself.
Miku
<After just speaking to KAITO about this, I realize now that my ideas regarding how to bake a delicious cake weren't entirely correct.>
Miku
<Which is probably the reason why your cupcakes turned out the way they did. I'm so sorry, Toya...>
KAITO
<Yes, there's no need to feel so down! Especially since things don't always go according to plan when you're learning how to bake.>
KAITO
<So, Toya, what do you plan on doing now? Do you still want to bake more cupcakes...?>
KAITO
<I-In any case, you don't have to worry about me! However, it's getting late, so why don't we try baking in SEKAI tomorrow?>

Toya
Thank you for letting us borrow your kitchen like this, MEIKO. I really appreciate it...
MEIKO
It's my pleasure since you've been trying so hard lately. I want to give you all the support I can.
Miku
So, in order to do a better job of being a teacher next time, I'd like to learn how to cook and bake properly.
KAITO
Hmm... Yes, I see... Based on your story, Toya, I suspect that the way you mixed your batter has everything to do with them not rising properly.

KAITO
Baking sweets is a delicate art.
As such, even when mixing the batter, you need to be careful.

KAITO
However, well... There's no way for you to know how to mix them right without learning first.
KAITO
In order to make the meringue, you'll need to mix the egg whites while gradually adding in the sugar until you get these peaks.
KAITO
Don't they?
Now, once the meringue's done, you'll put it into the bowl with the yolks...

KAITO
But you'll need to mix it by gently cutting into it and folding it over. Otherwise, you risk pushing all the air out.
KAITO
By doing so, you should end up with a soft and fluffy texture. So, Toya, give it a try.
