[So, you've survived your first—or fiftieth, or five-hundredth—day in Quiet Mounds. Tonight, it's raining—or, it's not. Maybe you're trying to get used to your new, quiet apartment. The electricity is buzzing in that way that's hard to ignore, a silence so loud it's deafening, in that poetic sort of way.]

[Or maybe you're one of the sad sacks still working at the 24/7 joints. Or their why-am-I-even-up-this-late customers. You're the reason why capitalism does this to people, you know.]

I see.

Master must know how to cook more things than I realized then.

Eh? Oh, do you assume Master is popular with the ladies? I'm flattered!

[i mean i didnt say that buddy]

So you can cook anything if you just have instructions?

[but is Reigen popular with the ladies??? this thought is concerning for some reason]

Most things! Sometimes the required process is kind of complicated or takes practice of technique, you know. Like any skill.

What's your favorite food, master?

[drifting to the table]

Mine? Ooh, tough question. I guess Korean BBQ is a favorite. But a good burger is tough to beat, too.

It's all meat.

What can I say, I'm a meat guy! What about you, Mob?

Takoyaki. And ramen/

Aaah, takoyaki. We gotta have some good takoyaki soon, I already miss it.

Do they sell it here?

I haven't seen any. Maybe there's a suggestion box somewhere...

If we're learning to cook, couldn't we make some?

They always make it with a special grill, right? I guess there should be a way to improvise...

Improvise how?

...

Eeh...

That's a question for a later, more experienced chef! Okay, you two go sit at the table.

[TIME TO START PUTTING THE PLATES TOGETHER. this is the first time there have been three entire plates. (Reigen bought a third plate.) He lays them out!11

the noodles are overcooked, and the vegetables and shrimp are overseasoned.

but it's edible! Okay even!! and at least better than conbini food.]

Thank you for the meal.

[mom's is better

but he still gobbles up his meal gratefully like the growing boy he is]

[honestly my standards are so low and I am so tired I can't tell how much improvement this could use. I can still tell it could be Better though. GOOD ENOUGH (Tm)]

Thank you for the meal!

[Eating!! his mom's is also better but it'd be rude to comment especially when Reigen went through all the trouble of making it]

[i guess normally i'd cue for compliments but... eh... Good Enough. Plus it's kind of nice, eating dinner with people at a table like this, instead of alone...

yyyawn]

We'll take care of cleaning.

Yes! Leave it to us. It was very good.

Ah? Ah, thank you. I'll work on it.

Do you need any help with your homework? --Mob, I mean.

No, it's fine.

I think I've got it.
