Does everyone have the recipes from the ramen shop? We don't have much time until tomorrow, so let's learn as much as we can!

Oh, by the way, Kanan, Dia. We didn't even ask if you were okay with coming along with us. Are you? Do you have anything else planned, or…?

We couldn't possibly leave at a time like this. We're in this together now. Don't sweat it.

Indeed. We would like Rin to feel better soon, too. Please allow us to help.

Kanan, Dia, thank you so much!

Let's start with learning this restaurant's main attraction, the ramen. Rin, will you be our taste tester? Since you're a regular of this place and all.

Sure, leave it to me!

It's complete! This restaurant's top-selling soy sauce ramen! Rin, please give it a taste.

Whoa, it looks spectacular! You're amazing, Dia. Down the hatch! *Slurp* *Gobble*

How is it?

The broth is a bit too thin. I think you didn't drain the water from the noodles enough. The flavors haven't really blended very well, so it's kinda bland overall.

Huh? H-H-How could that be? I was so sure I'd perfectly replicated the dish!

Rin's a real harsh critic…!

Try my ramen next. They had a seaweed ramen on the menu, so I tried making that.

It's full of nutrients yet low on calories. A healthy ramen that's good for the body! I think I did pretty well if I say so myself.

Wait, hold on, that's the ONLY thing in this! It's just a bowl piled with seaweed! Where are the noodles?!

Don't worry, they're in there. You just gotta dig through the seaweed a bit… See?

Kanan, I understand that seaweed is your favorite food, but that doesn't give you the right to change the recipe.

[Fade in/out.]

Hmm… This ramen-making thing isn't going too well, huh? I'm pretty certain we're doing it the way the recipe says, but…

Hey, Rin? Could you try the soy sauce ramen I made?

Sure. Bottoms up. *Slurp*

Th-This is it… This tastes just like the ramen I always have! Ayumu, how did you make this?!

I pretty much followed the recipe to a T. Except at the very end, I added a bit of vinegar.

Vinegar?

Well, you said that the ramen here fills you with energy no matter how tired you might be, right? At first, I thought it was just because it's your favorite food.

But then I thought that maybe the owners had added a little something to the ramen itself that would help take away that exhaustion.

I see what she's saying. They do say that acids, such as vinegar or lemon, are meant to bring a weary body back to full health.

Does that mean the people who work here were making me special ramen? I can't believe they were thinking of me this whole time!

I can't be more grateful for the owners and staff of this place!

Looks like we got the ramen down. All right girls, let's figure out the rest of these recipes!

Okay. I want you to try my cooking next.

Fried rice! This dish is super tasty too! Time to eat! *Munch* *Munch* Urk…

This rice is like…super clumpy.

What? I-I'm sorry, I was scared of burning the rice, so I kept it on low heat. I guess it just didn't fry all the way through.

We've got a long road ahead of us, huh?
