Kotori Ep. 32: Ai's Monja Test
Kotori has gotten used to her work-study at Miyashita Monjayaki. But she can't hide her nervousness when it turns out that Ai is going to grade the Monjayaki she makes.
Kotori
Oh no… I'm getting nervous…
Player
You're making monjayaki and having Ai rate it, right? Is she a really hard marker?
Kotori
Ugh, I just don't know what I'll do if I fail! I'll fail the whole work-study!
Player
I'm sure you'll do fine, Kotori! After all, you make such good omelet rice at the maid café!
Kotori
Even at the maid café, my hands were shaking at first, wondering what would happen if I failed.
Kotori
I only got good at making them after doing it over and over again…
Player
I see!
Player
Well, after hearing that, I just know you'll be fine, Kotori.
Kotori
Huh… Why?
| Option 1: “Because you're such a hard worker.” |
|---|
| Player Because you're such a hard worker. Just like at the maid café, you'll keep trying until you can make delicious monjayaki! Kotori Oh, I'm not that hard a worker… But I suppose you're right. I've just got to keep trying until Ai approves! |
| Option 2: “You can do anything with practice.” |
| Player You got good at making omelet rice through practice. So long as you keep practicing until you can make delicious monjayaki, you'll be fine, right? Kotori Ah… That's true… You're absolutely right! |
Player
And I'll stick with you until you can do it, even if it takes tens or hundreds of tries! Let's both do our best!
Kotori
Okay! I'll try!
[Fade in/out.]
Kotori
How is it?
Player
Hmm… I guess I wish it were a little more aromatic.
Kotori
Maybe I should let the ingredients get some burn marks when I'm frying them?
[Fade in/out.]
Kotori
What a lovely aroma! …What do you think this time?
Player
Good! I feel like you're getting close to Ai's monjayaki.
Kotori
Thanks! I wonder why I still feel like I still have a long way to go, though?
Kotori
I want to consult my monja research notebook and work hard at the toppings, too! I've got to work harder to make sure I don't disappoint Ai!
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
Ah, this is Kotori's monjayaki! Let's see… Looks good!
Ai
Don't mind if I do! …Mm! This is really tasty! The toppings are different from mine. What an interesting flavor!
Kotori
Really?! Then as for my score…
Ai
Full marks, of course! It's amazing, Kotori!
Kotori
Yayyy! I passed!
Player
Great job, Kotori! Your hard work paid off!
Kotori
Thanks! It's all thanks to you sticking with me as I practiced.
Kotori
And you know, making monjayaki together was really fun. I'll have to write in my monja research notebook again sometime!
