Chapter 15: Cheerful and Openhearted

Caipirinha: Is it supposed to be like this?

Caipiroska: You did great, brother!

Screwdriver: Thanks to the two of you, we were able to make an amazing breakfast

Caipirinha: Well, duh

Caipiroska: Yay! We got praised

MC: (The three of them look like a family; an older brother with his younger siblings) I wish I had that. I’m on only child, so I was always pretty lonely. I’m jealous of them

Tom Collins: Aren’t you going in?

MC: Sorry

Tom Collins: Good morning, everyone. I guess today is Screwdriver’s turn making breakfast

MC: Good Morning

Screwdriver: Ah, good morning you two

Caipirinha: …!

Caipiroska: Good Morning

MC: I’m sure you’ve mentioned this before, but how do you decide who is in charge of cooking?

Tom Collins: Basically, we just all take turns and repeat once we go down the line. Of course, there are people who are just really bad at cooking. In that case, they’re assigned to do things like cleaning and laundry.

MC: (In other words, Gimlet)

Screwdriver: And since you’re a member here now too, we’ll add you to the list

MC: Me?

Screwdriver: Of course! We have places for everyone, so there’s generally around 2 – 3 people in charge each day.

MC: I’m not really good at doing anything though..

Caipirinha: But we were expecting you to do something

Mc: huh?

Caipiroska: Hey! It’s alright. We were really bad at this when we first started too

Tom Collins: As for the people we put you with, we will be sure to put you with people who are really good at cooking in the beginning. We will distribute the times, and it should get easier as time goes on.

MC: Thank you

White Lady: Heh… What’s this? Why is everyone standing around the entrance?
Didn’t you all come for breakfast?

MC: White Lady, good morning

White Lady: Good morning! Ah, I’m sleepy. …what kind of meat is this?

Screwdriver: Deer!

White Lady: Deer? Just as always, you prepare strange meats whenever you’re in charge, Screwdriver

MC: Deer meat? I’ve never eaten that before

Tom Collins: It’s delicious! Very easy to eat.

Screwdriver: It sure is! Here, why don’t you try it?

White Lady: Well if Tom Collins says it’s delicious, I guess there’s no fighting it.

Screwdriver: I just caught it yesterday, so it’s fresh!

Caipiroska: We made a sauce that we’re sure will go great with it

Caipirinha: Basalmic vinegar and orange sauce

Caipiroska: Please eat it as you’d like

Tom Collins: Why don’t we try eating it with the orange sauce first?

White Lady: Well, here I go! It’s good!

Screwdriver: Eat as much as you’d like!

White Lady: Are there any baguettes? It would go really great with this meat.

Caipiroska: I’ll bring some right out

MC: I guess I’ll have some too. hm? It’s soft, and not as bad as I thought it would be

Caipirinha: Isn’t the sauce we made delicious?

MC: It’s great! It goes really well!

Caipirinha: ..! oh.. I see

MC: Speaking of which, Screwdriver, you said you caught it, right? Do you mean you bought it from the meat market?

Screwdriver: Nope! I caught it on the mountain!

MC: The mountain…. WHAT??

White Lady: Didn’t we mention that earlier? Screwdriver is a hunter.

MC: A hunter! I’ve never met one before!

Screwdriver: Gahaha! The mountains are great! Not only are they good for working out your legs and clearing your head, they’re also great for finding food!

MC: (so we have pet trimmers, idols, hunters… I want to ask what everyone’s jobs are, but I’m a little scared) Ah, Screwdriver, your arm looks hurt. Did you get that when you caught the deer?

Screwdriver: Ah, don’t worry about this. It’s just a scratch. Although I did turn over that mountain while fighting the deer with my bare hands! Gahaha

MC: You turned over the mountain… Was it really that extreme?

Screwdriver: I just need one night of rest, and I’m recharged for the day! I am a cocktail after all!

MC: You’re a cocktail? I’m not sure I understand what you mean…

White Lady: Aren’t you gonna heat us up some soup?

Caipiroska: Ah, I’ll heat some up now. Please wait a moment

MC: (Everything seems so vague)
