I know this is an odd request considering everything that has been happening. But do you think that anyone can help me cook?

...Just to see if it tastes good or not.

[Because local 13 year old boy needs help.]

The pleasure is mine, Amada-san. And don't thank me just yet, I haven't even done anything.

[ Said with a good-natured chuckle and smile as he takes Ken's hand with a professional, firm shake. ]

Have you thought any more about what you might want to make?

[whatsamada]

I think so. Do you think you can help me make chicken noodle soup?

[Because that seemed to be the easiest thing to make, right??]

[ticket218]

[ Soup? Definitely not something he's even tried to make, but...how hard can soup be? ]

It's a staple if I'm not mistaken, so the grocers should have plenty to say. Shouldn't be too difficult.

[whatsamada]

Then uh...I guess the first thing we need to do is look around for some chicken, pasta, and some vegetables?

[He said before pointing in a random direction. Although, they didn't say that Ken had to make it by scratch, did he??]

Maybe this is a lot harder than I thought.

[ticket218]

No, that sounds about right. The only place I'm not sure where to go for is pasta, but that's just another normal question to ask.

[ And thank goodness Sigma is a-ok talking to complete strangers. ]

[whatsamada]

But it shouldn't be too difficult to make either? It's just flour and eggs, isn't it?

[Pause.]

Sometimes, I wish Aragaki-senpai was here so he can help us.

[ticket218]

[ Oh hey, he's heard that name. Guess that means Shiomi never found him in the desert, huh... ]

He was more experienced a cook than either of us, I take it?

[whatsamada]

Yeah, he was and especially when he was the one cooking for all the time back home.

[Which...made him shift his weight a little. Upon realizing what he said, he just shook his head before looking around the area.]

But that's all the more reason for me to try and figure it out right now.

[ticket218]

[ How treasured he must have been...it sounds nice. Sigma can't help a small smile when he takes a few leading steps in the direction of what he knows to be a good grocer. ]

In that case, we have shops to visit. If we start now this could be done just in time for dinner.

[whatsamada]

That would be great, thank you so much for helping me out with this.

[With that, he gave a small pause before scratching the side of his head.]

Really, it does mean a lot and especially when I don't really know what to do.
