► Moon S.Link Rank 04. Shinjiro rescues Fuuka's terrible cooking.

What Happened:

Shinjiro: "Well then, let's... ...? Do you smell something?"

FeMC: [ You do catch a whiff of something noxious... It smells like something is burning or irritating your nostrils...]

Shinjiro: "Is it coming from over by the counter?" [ Shinjiro and FeMC go over to the kitchen. ]

Shinjiro: "Hey... Are you causing this smell, Fuuka?"

Fuuka: "Huh!? Does it smell!?"

Shinjiro: "...... What are you doing?"

Fuuka: "Um... I was trying to make beef stroganoff..."

Shinjiro: "...... What about the roux?"

Fuuka: "Oh, I didn't use any! I made it from scratch with flour..."

Shinjiro: "Don't start acting all proud after you've burned it..."

Fuuka: "Oh, you're right. This is burnt... What should I do...?"

Shinjiro: "...... You got any of those ingredients left?"

Fuuka: "Oh, yes. I brought extra everything..."

Shinjiro: "...I'll make it. Watch and learn. [Leader]... You okay if we have this for dinner?"

FeMC: "Actually, I'm really happy!"

Shinjiro: "Don't get your hopes up like that." [ Shinjiro is laughing... ]

Fuuka: "I-I'm sorry, [Leader]-chan. Weren't you going to go out with Shinjiro-senpai...?"

Shinjiro: "Hey, let's get started."

Fuuka: "Oh, yes! Please!"

FeMC: [ You decided to watch Shinjiro and Fuuka cook dinner. ]

Shinjiro: "How much oil did you use?"

Fuuka: "I didn't use any. I thought that it would be healthier that way..."

Shinjiro: "...How much red wine did you put in?"

Fuuka: "I don't know. I poured it from the bottle until it looked like enough..."

Shinjiro: "...How long did you pour it, then?"

Fuuka: "Um... Two or three seconds."

Shinjiro: "...... This meat's pretty fatty."

Fuuka: "Oh, yes. I asked the butcher for the best he had..."

Shinjiro: "...... There's so much wrong here, I don't know where to begin..."

Fuuka: "Huh!?"

Shinjiro: "Don't start messing around with recipes until you've improved your basic cooking skills. Seriously... don't you feel bad at all for charring all this food?"

Fuuka: "...I'm sorry."

Shinjiro: "Now listen up. Prepare everything beforehand. Chop everything that needs to be chopped. Measure out all your seasonings, too. That way, you won't panic while everything's cooking."

Fuuka: "Y-yes. Um, memo, memo..."

[ Shinjiro begins quickly cutting the ingredients while Fuuka writes everything down... ]

Shinjiro: "Gotta cook the onions at low heat. They'll taste better if they're cooked until they just start to get burned."

Fuuka: "Umm, 'Onions need to be...'"

Shinjiro: "Put that notepad down and watch me. Here's the meat. When you put it in..."

[ Shinjiro's hands move swiftly and surely even while showing Fuuka the basic steps... ]

[ ...The dish is ready. It looks like a picture taken directly from a cookbook... ]


Fuuka: "Wow, it looks so delicious..."

Shinjiro: "...Just shut it and eat up before it gets cold."

FeMC: "Thank you for the food!"

Shinjiro: "Y-Yeah..." [ Shinjiro seems a little embarrassed... ]

FeMC: [ You took a bite. ...It's delicious. The taste brings back memories... ] "This is delcious."

Shinjiro: "Uh..." [ Shinjiro looks a little embarrassed... ]

Fuuka: "You're amazing, Shinjiro-senpai..."

Shinjiro: "I mean, anyone could do something like..."

Fuuka: "No, they can't! Please, teach me again! Promise!"

FeMC: [ You ate it all... Fuuka insisted that she clean up, so you let her handle it. ]

Shinjiro: "'Please teach me again...' Huh. Looks like she made me promise without letting me say anything...Well... I guess I'll make something again later. "

FeMC: "Why don't we do a party?"

Shinjiro: "A party? Here? That's kind of pushing it... ...... Well, you got a point. Maybe it'll be okay to do one once in a while..." [ Shinjiro didn't put up much of an argument to that idea... ] "Well, we'll talk about that some other time. I'm gonna go check up on Fuuka... ...Too late. "

FeMC: [ You and Shinjiro helped Fuuka clean up, then you returned to your room... ]

Profile

Aragaki Shinjiro ( 荒垣 真次郎 )

Teams: Teamnesia Games

Ostensibly a third-year at Gekkoukan High School, Shinjiro spends more time hanging around a certain alleyway in Tatsumi Port Island than he does in class. He was a founding member of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES).

A tough and serious exterior hides a much gentler young man wracked with guilt and trauma. Shinjiro is kind and caring, worrying after his friends in his own gruff way. His hobbies include cooking and walking Koromaru. A more immature side of his personality comes out whenever he ends up spending time around his childhood friend Akihiko as they both get dragged into each other's antics and end up in lively competition more often than not.
