5 Showcasing

I see her eyes squint from the distance, eventually she walks up to me and inspects it closer, she steps back afterwards and then speaks, "I'll show you mine then" I see her crest as she turns her right hand around seeing the crest at her right back hand, though I see a pattern now, "Our crests sure looks familiar huh" I imply hoping to get an answer which I did she responded after checking her own "The others have their crests more developed because of their time in here" So I was right, good to know Im in tip top shape, I can learn at the best of my ability now, "Alright, now that I'm in can you teach me how to cook in your ways?" She responded to me immediately excited to teach me all about it running back and then going to the table and placed a recipe book down, and gestured for me to sit beside her "I'll teach you the ingredients first then the methods", my heart may have raced but I couldn't notice it, I sat down beside her and listened to her lecture, I am somewhat a prodigy so I could catch up quickly to her lectures.

Time passed by quickly sooner or later the sun were already setting, I take the initiative to snap her back to reality as we were just chatting at that point "We should probably ready the food by now, people should return soon as you said" She looked at clock which were in numerals, it were probably the very first or maybe second models "Oh you're right, It makes me happy that you were paying attention to.. well everything, and what do you mean by 'We' you really think you can do as good as me?" Here comes the competetive nature of children in play, of course I'm not excluded from this I am very sure I can copy her style "Of course I paid attention to everything, and yes I am confident that I can do as good as you and even one day do better" She then closed the book and turned her head to stare at me, "Alright then, we'll be making Mapo Tofu" A dish I read about a few times, with this I will surpass her "Alright then if thats what you want made, then lets begin now!" with that I signaled the start of our competition, we get out of our chairs and ready our equipment, our movements weren't exactly happening at the same time because I were simply copying her, some day I won't be however it'll be a talent I'll call my own one day.

I hear people enter the kitchen area and sit down their reapective chairs, at this point we were nearly finished, just as I'd analyze she finishes a second earlier, "I'll prepare the servings you prepare the table" I hear her over my ear "Alright" cooperating, I'd honestly expect her to contest me the spot I'm in oh well, The tables were set, and so were the servings for each member in the table, "Enjoy the meal" Me and Cherry say in unison, as we spoke about during our lectures, the members that ate the food had a spicy kick after eating the dish, but wouldn't stop eating that was when I asked one of the members eating "How's the food?" the masked man that I asked responded "Its really good! both the dishes taste the same" rather than feeling a competetive defeat I felt a cooperative success, and I'm sure cherry felt the same way, I could tell because at the end we both high-fived each other.
