Mmm, it smells so good! I can't wait to dig in.

I had a taste of the consommé Dia and I made. It was REALLY good, so make sure you're ready for a flavor-fest!

It's also full of mushrooms, the secret to Eli's superb figure.

I thought I told you all to stop talking about that…

Oh come on, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Your figure is the result of all of your hard work. You should be proud of it.

O-Okay.

*Giggle* I'm really looking forward to this nutritious hotpot!

Oh, right! About the nutrients!

Hm? What's up, Rina?

So, I did some research online. Apparently, the nutritional value of tomatoes skyrockets when you cook them.

Is that so?

Yup. The lycopene found in tomatoes has really effective anti-aging properties.

Does that mean the more tomatoes we eat, the better?

So those blood-red fruits will strengthen and purify the fallen angel's body, I see… Heh.

Sounds like it. Maybe the reason why Western-style hotpots are all the rage right now is because tomatoes are full of nutrients?

Did you know that, Kotori? Is that why you suggested we have a tomato hotpot?

Huh?! N-No! I was just trying to think of delicious dishes full of vegetables, and hotpot just happened to come to mind.

You're right about that. Hotpot is definitely one of the best ways to eat a bunch of veggies in one go.

Indeed. Everything tastes good in a hotpot.

It's tasty, but doesn't it get boring after a while? Winters are always full of hotpots for me.

I eat hotpot at home a lot during the winter as well, but I kinda like how everyone gets to eat together out of the same pot.

*Chuckle* Even though it can cause a few squabbles over popular items.

Really?

Both Ruby and I absolutely love tofu in hotpot. I often give mine to her.

That sounds so nice. I haven't really had hotpot before. I'm really happy I get to share a hotpot with everyone today.

Then let's invite all of the girls around next time!

All 28 of us? The thought of how many ingredients we would need is making my head spin, but it does sound like fun.

With that many people, our only choice is to hold a dark hotpot party that will summon Lucifer! The ingredients brought by the little demons will dance in the darkness!

Hotpot in the dark? How dangerous. We will have nothing of the sort.

Aww, what?! Party pooper!
