Super Sweet Treats for You
Marion Blythe 3★「COME TO THE RESCUE」
Marion
Flour, eggs…… and that should be all the ingredients
Jacqueline
Marion-chama～the cookie cutter's ready~
Marion
Ah, thanks, Jacqueline
Gast
Hm? Marion and Jacqueline? Whatcha doing in the kitchen?
Marion
Use your eyes
Gast
Damn, uh…… well I could tell you were cooking something but like……
Jacqueline
We're making cookies!
Gast
Cookies? They gonna be for Dr. Nova?
Jacqueline
Marion-chama is making them as a present for Will-chama ♪
Marion
J-Jacqueline……
Gast
A present for Will? Why though……
Marion
And why should I tell you?
Gast
Just wondering. I figured something must've happened if you're whipping him up some cookies, yeah?
Marion
He…… well, it's not like I asked for it, but he kept randomly recommending I go to all these pancake places
It was completely unsolicited, but he did introduce me to a really good spot…… I thought I should return the favor
Gast
Come to think of it, I do think Will said somethin' about wanting someone he could talk sweets with
But how did ya get from there to baking him homemade cookies?
Marion
The guy's got a notoriously extreme sweet tooth. It makes more sense for me to make him something especially for his tastes, rather than fruitlessly search for something to buy
Gast
Huh, so y'all are real buddy-buddy. Kinda wish I could get in the mix……
Marion
What was that?
Gast
Uhh, nothing. Anyway, is there anything I can give you a hand with?
Marion
That's what Jacqueline's here for. You're supposed to be training. Stop slacking and get a move on if you don't want to get whipped
Gast
Yessiree. I'll be heading out then
Marion
And with that, we can start. First knead the flour and……
Time passes…
Jacqueline
Marion-chama, is this the right amount of sugar?
Marion
For Nova's recipe, yes. For Will…… he said the sweeter the taste the happier he is. …… Let's add a little more
Jacqueline
How much is a little?
Marion
Hm……
Good point…… The first time I got pancakes with Will, I couldn't believe how much honey he drowned his in
Considering that, my idea of "a little" definitely won't be enough……
We can measure it by eye. Jacqueline, could you start adding in sugar?
Jacqueline
Aye, nano～♪ Lots of sugar for lots of sweetness~
Marion
Don't dump it all in at once…… though this is Will we're talking about. This would be barely the beginning for him
Jacqueline
Pouring more and more～♪
Marion
T-That's the idea. I guess this much still looks okay……
Jacqueline
Pouring more and more and mo~~~~~~re, make Will-chama the happiest he's been before ♪
Marion
A-Ah. I'm sure your kindness will touch his heart
Jacqueline
Teehee, Jacqueline will do her beary best to make Will-chama happy～♪
Time passes…
Marion
…… They're done
Jacqueline
Wah, they look soo tasty nano~!
Marion
T-They sure do
(Well, they do look tasty. But……)
Jacqueline
Marion-chama, let's taste test!
Marion
Gh, wait!
Jacqueline
Eh? Why?
Marion
They're…… These are hot out of the oven, see? Let's let them cool down a little bit before we have a taste
Jacqueline
Aye, nano～♪ Then Jacqueline will go doodle until the cookies are ready to eat
Marion
Good, go on, Jacqueline
…………
(What do I do……!? I got swept along by Jacqueline's sweetness and let her add way too much sugar……)
(No matter how sweet Will likes it, I can't let him eat this in good conscience. I should throw them out……)
(But how would I explain that to Jacqueline? She did her very best to help……)
(…………)
(All right. I'll rush another batch. I'll figure out what to do with these cookies later)
(Right now I need to focus on making a new batch of cookies before Jacqueline comes back……!)
Time passes…
Marion
(Phew…… somehow I managed to remake them. I added a little more sugar than the recipe called for, but this should taste within reason)
Jacqueline
Marion-chama~ are the cookies ready to eat?
Marion
J-Jacqueline…… They're still a little hot, would you mind waiting a little longer? Maybe until I finish washing up……
Jacqueline
Aye, nano～♪ Jacqueline will wait right here
Teeheehee, the cookies look yummy nano~
Huh? There's another plate of cookies over there. Did Marion-chama make these too . . . ?
It must be so, nano! Jacqueline will put all the cookies on the same plate~
Time passes…
Marion
Thanks for waiting, Jacqueline
It's about time. We can finally taste test—
Gast
I'm back~ Ooh, that smells good
Jacqueline
Welcome home, Gast-chama~! Would you like a cookie too?
Gast
Wha— you good with that?
Marion
…… It's as she said. On the contrary, if you're planning to refuse I'll whip you
Gast
W-Whoa. Well, I'll take you up on that kind offer……
Jacqueline
Here you go everyone, bon-nano appetit ♪
Sooo yummy～♪
Marion
Ah, it's just the right amount of sweetne—
Gast
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～！？！？！？！？！？
S-Sweet…… My throat's on freakin' fire! Ghh… water……!
Gast runs off
Marion
W-What's with hi—
(It can't be……!)
Jacqueline, do you know what happened to the cookies I set aside on the table?
Jacqueline
I put them all on the same plate. Marion-chama made them all, right?
Did . . . Jacqueline make a mistake?
Marion
Ah, no…… you did nothing wrong. Don't worry, you did a very good job
But, I just remembered something important. Will told me that he likes ice cream better than cookies
Jacqueline
Eh, ice cream . . . ?
Marion
That's right. I told him you're a fellow ice cream lover, and he wanted to hear what your favorite parlor is
So, why don't we invite Will to come to our usual place with us?
Jacqueline
I want to go to the ice cream parlor~! Jacqueline will go get Will-chama!
Marion
O-Okay, thanks, Jacqueline
Gast
…… Damn, I thought I was gonna die
Marion
Gast……
Gast
What the hell was up with those cookies……
Marion
It's my bad…… If you tag along, I'll treat you to whatever ice cream you'd like
Gast
Eurgh…… I'll pass. Don't think I'll be able to stomach anything sweet for awhile
