I just love cooking.

Even if I'm just an amateur,

I have a social media account for showing off what I've cooked.

I don't have a lot of followers,

but there are those who check out my photos.

I'm digging in.

I really love your cooking, Ms. Yu.

Please teach me how you fried it.

Looks good!

It'll keep the rice coming.

I'll have fried chicken today too.

Yeah, it's good.

However,

I do have a bit of a concern about the direction I'm going for.

"Your food always look lovely. The humble portion is classy."

I don't really eat much myself,

and I got a job away from my hometown.

I don't have close friends who live nearby.

But, what I really want to make

are stuff like this, and this.

I want to make more of food like these.

Ms. Nomoto,

I just finished checking the web browser share and had just sent it to you.

Thank you so much.

In the end,

I wouldn't be able to eat what I cooked all by myself.

I'm digging in.

Just like how some artists can't produce masterpieces without an audience,

my food's not living its best life without someone actually eating it.

If only somebody would eat what I cook...

She who loves to cook and She who loves to eat

Good evening. - Good evening.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry about the strong smell.

Oh, no worries. Well...

You must be having a party? That sounds lovely.

No, this is all for me.

What?

All for herself?

That much food... All for her?

All of that?!

Don't tell me... on a daily basis?

I saw too much.

I'm digging in.

This is all for me.

It must be so fun to make that much.

I'm always impressed with your lunch.

Oh, it's nothing much. It saves a lot of money.

That is important.

I wish I was paid enough to go to the company cafeteria every day.

Here's mine.

What? Is that enough for you?

Yeah, definitely enough.

I get sleepy, so this is about as good as it gets during the day.

Is that so?

Excuse me, Ms. Nomoto. - Yes?

Can I ask you to check the coding on the actual machine

now that it's finished?

I got it. Sure. - I leave it to you.

What? Did you make that yourself, Ms. Nomoto?

Yes. - That's amazing.

Not really.

Just lots of simple things, really.

Dang, it's impressive how you can be confident about it.

Right, Ms. Sayama?

True.

Well, rather than a hobby, I just really love cooking.

What? Is that all you're having for lunch, Ms. Sayama?

That has no nutrition in it at all!

It tastes good so leave it be.

That's not good enough.

You really need to learn more from Ms. Nomoto.

Which brings me, I'm sure you're the type who'll turn into a great mother, Ms. Nomoto.

Seems nice.

I wish my girlfriend would make me a packed lunch too.

You don't have a girlfriend though, Mr. Morioka.

That's the problem.

Why do you think I can't get one?

They always take my hobby, which I do out of passion,

and frame it as something I could be doing for a man.

That's heart-breaking.

Crap.

I went and made too much again.

Good work today.

Oh, Kasuga. Good work!

I brought a pop-up for next month's campaign.

Thank you so much.

I'll carry this inside.

Thanks!

The new products from the other day are selling well.

Is that so? I'm glad.

Welcome!

Come in.

Well, this way.

Alright, what will you be having?

One fried chicken set meal.

Sure. One fried chicken set!

On it!

I'll have that too. - Sure! Coming right up.

One more fried chicken set. - Got it. Two of those!

Alright, here's your one fried chicken set meal. Thanks for the wait!

And, here is yours too. Here you go.

Excuse me...

Yes?

About the rice...

As for your rice, I kept it in a small portion for you.

Well...

I'd like the regular portion.

I apologize for this!

Here, thank you for your patience. I'm sorry.

Thank you for the food.

I'll be paying for my bill now.

Let's see...

I had one fried chicken set meal. - One fried chicken set.

Well... your bill is 900 yen.

Yes, I got the exact amount.

It was delectable.

Thank you for the appreciation.

Thank you so much!

What?

Just because she's a woman,

it doesn't mean you can go ahead and lessen her food portion.

That was a bad thing I did.

I'm so sorry for coming this late at night.

Well...

Have you already had dinner?

So, just to be clear, you're asking me to eat

this minced pork rice?

Well, cooking is my hobby,

and I went and made too much.

And sharing is caring, as they say so...

I just spoke to you yesterday and your face came to mind...

I'm sorry! I must sound

so creepy, huh?

I'll go and clean this up.

Are you really okay with letting me eat your food?

What?

Yes.

Of course! Or more like...

I would love for to have some.

For me?

Yes.

Well then, I'd be happy to eat it.

Yes! Go ahead.

Deafening silence...

As I look at how the pile of minced pork rice was steadily decreasing,

it reminded me of how I came upon my love for cooking.

My purpose for cooking is not because

I want to be a great mom

or be a great wife.

I just really love to cook so many delicious food,

and have someone say that it "tastes so good."

Amazing!

You really finished it all!

I enjoyed the food.

Thank you so much.

It was tasty.

So, I've been searching all this time...

Pleasure is mine.

Thank you so much.

...for someone who would polish off that dish with me.
