I never knew the kitchen could be this cold during the night…
|
 Lilia

It is a place that where fire is handled. It’s only natural that it’s cooler when no one is using it.
Well then, let’s get started. We got to make this soup and give it to Trey before he goes to bed.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Alright. Ummm… So do I start with a pot?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Umu Umu. Next is water and some seasonings.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
How much water should I use? “Appropriate amount”… Let’s put it aside.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
You can measure the amount you want with a cup and put it in the pot. You can adjust the flavours with seasonings accordingly.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
The amount I want… Will 3 cups be enough?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Wow, that’s a whole lot. Well, they do say go big.
Next, how many spoons of consommé do you use for every cup…? How many spoons was it again… I think it’s 4 spoons.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Okay, so the total will be 12 spoons.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Now all you have to do next is season and boil it, but here’s where it gets hard. The call for the “appropriate amount”.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Ugh… Didn’t I say to skip this part… Are you sure you can make something delicious by eyeballing the “appropriate amount” the seasonings…?
Anyways, what do we need to add in “appropriate amounts”? Was it salt?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Humu, the basic seasoning is indeed salt, but it’s best if for you to add whatever you want. For example… Lad, what’s your favourite food?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
It would be strawberry tart, I can’t put that in the soup though.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Are you sure? I believe that adding something that you like would increase your appetite.
If you were to put other in other ingredients such as ginger, egg, garlic, it would be good for nourishment and strength.
With that said, bananas and yogurts are a staple in my household.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
You’re putting those stuffs in…?
I think you do have a point at the importance of nutrient intake… But the question is how much of it?
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
That’s where you put an “appropriate amount”!! The higher the nutritional value, the faster the sick is going to get well.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Is that so… Then, I shall increase the amount…
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Back then when li'l ol’ me was making this kind of soup, I added chili peppers.
When Silver took a bite of my dish, he jumped up immediately as if the curse has been lifted.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
I-I think the spiciness backfired? Alright, I think it should be fine if I add this much in.
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Oya, have you already added them in?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Yes. If I were to think about Trey…. I will put this much as the “appropriate amount”
|
 Lilia
Lilia 
|
Good. Once everything is boiled, it should be done.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Okay. Then put it on medium heat…? Isn’t the smell a bit too strong…?
|
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
…Achoo!
|
*knock knock*
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Hmm? Who could it be at this hour?
|
*opens*
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
…Ah.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
That should be my line. I can’t believe you’re still awake at this hour despite being in this state.
|
 Trey
Trey

I did nap until just a while ago after I came back to the dorm. I felt slightly better so that’s why I’m up, at least I should finish off my homework.
That aside, what’s that you’re holding?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
It’s soup… I tried making it for the first time so I can’t guarantee its taste…
You don’t have to eat if you don’t want to. I’ll eat it for tomorrow’s breakfast.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Pass it to me, I’ll have some. Thanks for making it for me.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Yeah. Then, good night…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Hmpmm…
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
W-Wait a minute, why are you eating it now?! At least wait until I leave!
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Mnnn… *cough* Well, I figured I should let you know how is it since you made it for me and all.
I think it taste pretty good for your first try.
Thank you.
|
 Riddle
Riddle

Alright then…. Achoo!
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Riddle?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Haa… Your room is kind of cold. It’s hard to get better even if you try in this condition.
Make your room warmer and go to sleep.
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Yeah, you too Riddle. Looks like it’s going to be cold tonight.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Even during a time like this you’re still… Just focus on getting better yourself, Trey.
|

Next Day

Please take care now, Riddle. I shall return back to the class now.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
Yeah, thanks for bringing me to the Infirmary room and sorry to take up your time during lesson hours… Achoo!
I think the nurse isn’t around, but at least there’s an empty bed. I’ll just have to pull this through myself…
Haa… I have to get the thermometer…. and then an ice pack…
|
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
What a blunder. I can’t believe I caught a cold too…
Oh, my lab coat… I forgot to take them off…
But… it’s so troublesome… to take them off…
*zzzz*

 Riddle
Riddle 
|
*zzzz*…Hmm? ?! Wait, what time is it now?!

 Trey
Trey

Good morning, Riddle. It’s after school hours now.

Riddle

Trey… Why are you here?
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
I heard that you’re resting in the infirmary room so I came to check on you for a bit. How are you feeling?
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
I feel fine now… Achoo!
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
I don’t think so. Just stay put and sleep for today. Return to the dorm once your cold has calmed down.
|
 Riddle
Riddle 
|
*sigh* Looks like we’re in complete opposite situations compared to yesterday…
|
 Trey
Trey 
|
Haha, you’re right.
Thanks for the soup. I finished all of it.
|
 Riddle
Riddle

Hmm?

Nothing. I’m fine enough to walk so I’ll go back to the dorm and rest.
