Sorry about that!

Welcome back.

Hm? Something smells sweet…

*Chuckle* Yup, and here's its source. Some red bean soup!

Wooow! It looks delicious!

Mm, it has such a deliciously sweet scent!

I didn't see that in the kitchen back when I was cooking the hotpot.

We actually just got it delivered.

Gotcha. There's nothing sweeter than red bean soup right after some salty hotpot!

Ahh, I really wanted to try some red bean soup! Thanks, Ai! I have to take a photo of it too to commemorate it!

*Chuckle* This soup is really amazing, so I ordered it especially for all of you to enjoy!

You did?

Yup. I've been eating this since I was a kid. It's from a local restaurant that I love. I really wanted all of you to experience this flavor as well!

I see. I'm excited to try something that stands out so strongly in your memories.

*Sigh* The toasted bits in the rice cakes look extra scrumptious. Has my decorative rope granted my wishes already?

The rice cakes in here are super stretchy.

Here, look! See?

Mm! With this chewy-gooey texture and the delectable sweetness, this red bean soup is a real FLAVOR-ite of mine! Geddit?

C'mon, guys! Eat up while it's hot. Hurry!

Okay! I'm gonna have some! *Nom*

Mmm! It's so sugary! I feel like I've been taken straight to heaven.

I agree. The mochi is so tender and the red beans have such a nice sweetness, I just can't stop eating it.

Waaah, I can tell that this mochi is made with some really top-grade rice!

It's buono! So this is red bean soup, huh. It has a flavor that warms you right to the core.

*Sigh* Nothing says New Year's like getting to eat so many tasty things.

You can say that again! There's enough for seconds, so eat as much as you like!

[Fade in/out.]

Phew. I'm so full.

I think I might have eaten a bit too much…

Then it's my time to shine!
