Wow. That smells incredible, Rina! Is this the hotpot you made with Emma and the others?

Yeah. I wanted you to try it, so I saved some for you. I warmed it up, so… Want to eat together?

All right, I'm digging in!

Please enjoy.

Wow! This is REALLY good! I could eat this forever!

*Giggle* I was hoping I'd get to hear you say that and see you smile.

I can't stop saying it! It's so, so good! But…it's awfully red, isn't it?

We put a lot of tomatoes and beets in it. Did you know that tomatoes are very nutritious?

You've seemed kind of tired lately, so…

(Rina was worried about my health.)

This hotpot isn't just full of nutrients, it's also packed with your feelings of kindness. Eating this will melt all of my exhaustion away.

*Sigh* It's so good.

Did you know? The reason it's so tasty is because we're eating it together.

Huh?

Food that you eat with someone always tastes much better.

I learned that after becoming a school idol from you and the other members.

When you enjoy a meal with others while talking and laughing a bunch, everything tastes extra good.

Also, I realized something while making hotpot with everyone the other day. It makes me really happy when someone is enjoying the food I made.

That's why I brought you some hotpot today. I'm very happy right now.

Rina…

If I make you food again, will you eat it? Will you eat with me?

Of course I will! I want to eat the food you make and eat all sorts of meals together now and forever!

*Giggle* Thank you. Rina-chan Board says, “Smiles, smiles, all around.”

Huh? You're holding up the smiles board, but are you blushing right now by any chance?

Um, no.

I can always tell what face you're really making.

Ugh, it's embarrassing that you can see through me like that. But…it makes me kind of happy, too. You really are amazing.
