Chapter 2: Today's Chores

I see you've got a lot of snacks for yourself again. Did you get us any real food?

That's not my problem! I'm not in charge of preparing the meals today.

These are my snacks! You'd better not eat them!

I never asked for them. Wait, so who's in charge of getting us lunch today?

I believe it was Lisa's turn.

Hey, Lisa. I know you love reading your magazine, but can you get us some food first?

Huh? Where'd she go?

Maybe she went shopping for food. I mean, she's in charge of it, right?

I highly doubt it. My guess is that she plans to make excuses later saying she was too busy staring at her magazine.

Awwww! But I'm hungry!

You have all those snacks. Eat them.

But these are for later!

Quit crying already. Why doesn't someone just go and get Lisa?

Oh, Ichigo. Since you're here anyway, you should go get her.

Why me?

All right, fine. I'll come with you.

Why don't you just go yourself?!

Hey, Lisa. Before you do that, go prepare lunch. It's your turn.

Oh... I forgot it was today.

But you know, I'm not even that hungry yet. I'm not quite in the mood right now.

Oh, I know. We should try out someone else's cooking today. Ichigo, you make it.

Why do I have to take over your chores? I'm just here because Shinji told me to come.

If I wanted to eat, I'd go home.

Fine, let's do this. Whoever loses at rock-paper-scissors has to make it.

And you really think I'd play?

Hey, Shinji. Can I go home yet?

You're no fun sometimes.

Lisa, Shinji, Ichigo! Have you decided what's going on with lunch? Mashiro's bugging the hell out of me. Hurry it up, will you?

Don't try to make me a part of your chore routine, dammit!

After some discussion, we've decided we'll choose with a game of rock-paper-scissors. Since you're here now, you're joining too, Kensei.

What?!

Let's just do it. We're just swapping turns anyway. If you don't play, you lose. Got that?

Ready? Rock, paper, scissors!

Seriously, this just isn't right. Lisa, you better take care of lunch tomorrow. Don't even think about skipping it.

I know, I know. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

Hey, Kensei. Since you're cooking, you should let Ichigo try your okonomiyaki.

Huh? Shouldn't you or Hiyori make it, then?

Well, ours is more authentic, but you're better at cooking. Might as well eat something that's more delicious, right?

Ugh, fine. I'll go take a look at the ingredients we have.

Kensei's good at cooking, huh? I didn't expect that. He seemed pretty confident too.

Yeah, he needs to be more honest with himself.

Yeah, and you're too honest with your love for sexy magazines.

You're interested in them too, aren't you? I'll lend you some of my favorites.

Uh, no thanks.
