Cooking, cleaning, organizing ... I'm Yuuko-san's servant, basically. Four memories, but I haven't taken the last one yet.

Are you still going by Buttercup?

Watanuki. Written with the characters for "April 1st."

The characters for...? Ah.. [brief moment of wondering how we understand each other.]

... Link?

No, it's nothing. It occurred to me again that we likely don't know the same languages at home.

But we can understand each other.

It's definitely odd...

... if I write this, can you read it?

[writes 四月一日 in the flour]

[...shakes his head] It's foreign.

Strange ...

It's no use questioning it, for now. [taste-tests the frosting he's working on]

What are you doing?

I'm not planning to eat it, don't worry.

Then why put it in your mouth?

. . .

Haven't you done this yourself, to check the taste?

There's no point. If I cook it right, it tastes good. If I don't, it tastes bad.

Because my team eats it? Not that I've had any really bad batches so far.

[no seriously, I'm not certain I am understanding here.]

You don't taste it before you decide it's done...

I just said that!

And your success is based on your team's reactions only?

Basically. Though I can sort of tell if it's going to turn out well before they actually eat it.

. . .

I mean, it just looks that way, you know? Just like a potato looks done when it's finished cooking, or meat ...
