Day 2 of making macarons! . . . Most of the batch broke.

//good think Makoto's a girl. If Bruce knew about an orphan who already knew martial arts that he didn't already have...

Uh huh... And you were helping him how??

//Duke, abort mission. Abort-

What dynamic, exactly?

Start talking.

//Tim's losing her. He's loSING HER-

So you're telling me you weren't bullying him?

(Squinting at the picture. Looking back at the guy.) Oh wait, I see it now. Sorry. This guy looks like he could be your twin!

But it's right there-

Looking at the picture Tim gave. Looking at Duke. Eyes narrowing.

Yes it is! (Also pointing at the picture) Right there at the end of the hair! See?

She's coming for Duke next.

. . . It's literally right there in the picture-

//I'm innocent and none of you can prove otherwise - Dee, probably

You look a lot like this picture.

You.

She's just going to give the guy some cookies instead...

Okay. Got it. Black hair with either blue or green eyes. . . . That doesn't narrow it down.

"Thank goodness! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I'm glad I didn't hurt you!"

She heard something about somebody being bullied? No no, don't mind that she's cracking her knuckles.

"Hm? A couple of days ago?" She thought back. "Oh. That guy was just being a jerk. I wasn't really looking for a fight."

She's putting her hair up in a ponytail.

Okay! She's going to master macarons today!

Accidentally bumping into the reader while rushing, she stopped. "Sorry for that. Are you alright?"

"London!? Wow, that sounds amazing! I bet she's having a blast. Here, let me give you my number. That way you can let me know if there's something you want me to make or if you need help."

"You bet! I finally figured out why they kept deflating. Tell me what you think, Mina-chan?"

0u0 She's got a chocolate soufflé for Minako! Fresh and perfect!

"Sure thing! I'd love to meet her. Maybe she can give me pointers! If she's up for it?"

"Let me know how they taste! I can make you something else later, too, if you want."

Lack of features? That's nothing compared to what she normally deals with! She can handle it. "A few did. A few didn't work out right no matter what I did. These cookies are one of the new recipes, too!"

Well... See... Makoto kind of only saw her with her mask on, so... "Pretty good! I've been pretty busy so I haven't had a lot of time... But I was able to try some new recipes!"

She's pulling a small bag of homemade cookies out and handing them over. "It's been a while, miss Theseus. I hope everything's been going pretty well!"

//you didn't see that

Oh! Is that miss Theseus? She's waving!

Don't mind the sound of humming. She's just setting it out to cool!~

So beautiful.~

She's got them in strawberry, mango, kiwi...

Fruit sandwiches?

Oh god- Okay. She's got this. She can handle a match! Even if it's the first. [📲] Hi. Do you like tea? [📲] I mean [📲] Would you like to get tea sometime?

Okay. She has to do the kissing booth. She's not blushing. She's got this. She can do this- Oh god she has to kiss people-

Smiling. Holding a plate of chocolate chip cookies.

Please. She needs a new mixer.

Don't mind her. She's casually dreaming about being a bride while beating up some thugs.

"That's a relief. It's a family recipe," she murmured, her shoulders relaxing. It took a lot to open up her mother's recipe box. She couldn't be happier to know someone enjoyed the cookies.

//hello???

"I'm glad," she replied, a bright smile on her lips. "I was worried I put a little too much sugar in them. But I'm glad you like them!"

Please be cautious around her. She's more electrically charged than most people and she doesn't want to accidentally zap someone.

"That's right! I hope you like them."

She's handing the reader a pack of homemade cookies.
