Karina: What do you mean you can’t come!?
Nathan: Sorry, I caught a cold. Cough cough, see? Cough!
Karina: I know you’re coughing but I need Fire Emblem today of all days or else-
Nathan: That’s true. Today is the recording day for the “Your 3 minute cooking” that the two of us are guesting in.
Karina: It’s not a recording but a live broadcast! And it’s about to start! I only accepted this job because you said, “leave all the cooking to me~”. I can’t do this by myself.
Nathan: Don’t worry about that! I have a pinch hitter for situations like this!
Karina: Pinch hitter?
Nathan: So I’m sorry but, cough cough, bye.
Karina: Wait a second!
Nathan: Aaah what a hassle.
(Ends the call)
Karina: They sounded like a completely different person at the end but… Are they okay? But more importantly, who’s the pinch hitter?
(Something bursts through the ceiling)
Antonio: Uwaaagghaa!!
Karina: Rock Bison!?
Antonio: Ow ow…
Karina: Why did you fall from the ceiling!?
Antonio: I had them shoot me from the catapult because they told me that it’s a live broadcast and that I need to hurry.
Karina: Then, the pinch hitter is-
Antonio: Rock Bison! Take care of me!
Karina: Why are you putting on a cool act… But more importantly, just cause your company specializes in food, that doesn’t mean you can cook.
Antonio: I came here cause I’m reliable. How long do you think I’ve been feeding myself? Don’t look down on a bachelor!
Karina: I’m not looking down on you, but…
Antonio: So, what’s on today’s menu?
Karina: Ah, if I remember correctly, I think it was gazpacho!
Antonio: Eh? Gas?
Karina: Pacho! Apparently it being something cold fits my image while the fiery red fits Fire Emblem’s image, so gazpacho is a perfect fit for us!
Antonio: Interesting. Gazpacho huh. Hm, gazpacho…
Karina: Wait, by chance… You don’t know what it is?
Antonio: No no no! It’s- it’s gazpacho, right? Haha, I know. That cold thing right?
Karina: You definitely don’t know based on that reaction!
Antonio: It’s going to be fine! Just how long do you think I’ve been alive for? I told you! I came because I’m reliable and-
Karina: Just how reliable is your reliability?
Antonio: Stop doubting me like this. Anyway, you can’t make gazpacho right?
Karina: I don’t even know the recipe. That’s why I’m freaking out!!
Antonio: And it seems like while we were talking, it’s time to start!
Karina: Oh it is! I have to do makeup so I’ll be at the studio!
Antonio: Okay! You can rely on me!
(Karina runs off)
Antonio: What am I going to do… What even is a gazpacho? My company told me to leave a mark because it’s been a while since I’ve been able to make an appearance on variety television, and I need to make sure I organize everything for Blue Rose’s sake. How do I make them both satisfied? Neugh! I guess I’ll have to act convincingly.
(Cooking show theme song plays)
Karina: My ice may be a little cold, but I got your stomach in complete hold!
Antonio: We will now begin “Your 3 minute cooking”!!
Karina: In this program, a new guest comes on to reveal a new recipe with every new episode!
Antonio: And today’s guest is me! Rock Bison! And…
Karina: Blue Rose!
Antonio: The recipe we will be introducing you all to today is gazpacho!
Karina: It’s a recipe that’s perfect for the summer, isn’t it?
Antonio: That’s right. But, uhh… I don’t really want to make gazpacho.
Karina: Eh?
Antonio: I, I really don’t feel like making gazpacho!
Karina: Hey, what are you suddenly saying!
Antonio: Blue Rose, how about making something that’s kinda “like” gazpacho?
Karina: What’s this something that’s kinda “like” gazpacho, huh?
Antonio: Something that’s kinda “like” gazpacho is something that isn’t gazpacho, but you can still call it a gazpacho!
Karina: Sorry, I don’t understand a single word of what you’re saying. But more than that, you can’t just go around changing the program when the staff have already prepared all of the ingredients!
Antonio: But, to be honest with you… I have a sad past with gazpacho.
Karina: Uh- what is this about?
Antonio: That was back in the day when gazpacho was still so little…
Karina: Gazpacho is a person? Wait, are you saying that there once was a person with that name?
Antonio: (crying) Just hearing that name is making me-!
Karina: You weren’t reacting like this when we were talking just a moment ago!
Antonio: Gazpacho, they were- oh gazpacho. Please Blue Rose!
Karina: What? I don’t really… But I’m not sure whether the staff are- you’re fine with this!?
Antonio: Yes!! We will now begin making something that’s kinda “like” gazpacho!!
Karina: You regained your energy fast!
Antonio: Please cut the onion!
Karina: Oh, okay.
Antonio: We will start with pouring oil in the pot. And then we will cook the onions Blue Rose cut for us!
Karina: Wait a moment. Isn’t gazpacho a cold soup?
Antonio: Is it? Okay our next step is-!
Karina: He completely ignored me.
Antonio: Take the tomato and zucchini meant for the gazpacho and throw it into the pot. And after you put in the potatoes, you let them simmer.
Karina: This recipe sounds familiar…
Antonio: We almost forgot an important ingredient! Beef! After all, I’m Rock Bison!
Karina: I got it! You’re trying to make curry aren’t you?
Antonio: Like I said! It’s something that’s kinda “like” gazpacho… And now! The item to add as a secret flavor is… (Indiscernible singing)
Karina: I’m right! It is curry!!
Antonio: And for the flavor, we will now use Black Spoon’s newest product!
Karina: That was a curry flavored cube.
Antonio: And once we let this simmer for a bit… Mmm! A kinda “like” gazpacho curry is complete!
Karina: He even said curry on his own!
Antonio: Oh! Seems like time is up! Well then, see you later!
Karina: Farewell… (crying)
Antonio: Ushi! I was able to convince them!
Karina: I wonder if that’s true…
Mario: What could be presumed to be a broadcast accident became the talk of the town that Rock Bison immediately released his own curry recipe in response to the Sternbild citizen’s reactions. Meanwhile, in the hero’s training room with Dragon Kid and Sky High…
