Nico #401: Shiny Ingredients
Mari
Nico-chi! This is an emergency!
Nico
What's wrong, Mari?!
Mari
Remember when we had Chocoshine and chocolate fondue at the chocolate exchange party?
Nico
How could I forget? It was the best party ever because we got to taste flavors we'd never experienced before!
Mari
We have so many ingredients left over from that party. I need your help!
Nico
What?!
[Fade in/out.]
Nico
You rich people… You're supposed to only buy what you're going to use, Mari! Did you learn your lesson?
Mari
Of course! But at the time, I wanted to make the shiniest chocolate in the world, so I got a little carried away.
Nico
Well, I know how you feel, but… Hey, aren't these ingredients very clearly foods that don't belong in chocolate?
Mari
You've got to think outside the box, Nico-chi! Unusual pairings can lead to discoveries that change the future!
Mari
Strawberries and rice cake, red beans and bread, and pineapples in sweet-and-sour pork! Those are all unusual pairings that work, right?
Nico
Now that you mention it, I suppose you have a point.
Nico
We need to be flexible in our thinking and use up all of the ingredients… Okay, I think I can handle that. Help me out, Mari!
Mari
Okay!

Nico
It's ready! I call it, “Nico's ultra-nutritious perfect lunch.”
Mari
Fantastic! This looks delicious! I'm amazed that you could make all these dishes and desserts from those left-over ingredients!
Nico
It's packed with protein and vitamins, so it's perfect for nourishing a school idol's healthy body.
Mari
Great job, Nico-chi! Thank you! I think the ingredients are really happy that you put them to good use.
Nico
The ingredients are happy? Does Nico-Ni have fans in the world of food, too?!
Nico
Gosh, being this cute is such a big responsibility! But I'm gonna keep on being my Nico-Ni self, so I hope they continue to adore me!
