Food interrogation

(A/N Notes: I would put a meme here, but since Inkstone doesn't support images, I couldn't)

It was early evening, around 7 pm, and all the members of the magic technologies study club were in Leonardo's house, or better said mansion, that his parents gave him since it was the one closest to his school

"..." (x5)

And they were all waiting with anticipation for Ichi's homemade food at the dining table, that she had requested them to help her with. And right now, Ichi was in the kitchen making dinner

"..." (Ichi)

She was swiftly cooking with dead-on accuracy to the recipe's instructions, but she had one single problem

"... Salt to taste?" (Ichi)

She didn't know what to do exactly when the instructions were subjective and up to the person cooking

"... What should I do?" (Ichi)

And she searched in her memory for an answer, then she remembered that one time that she accompanied Itsuki to the cafeteria buffet

Back to some time the two went to the cafeteria together

*Takes three spoonfuls of cooked minced meat* (Itsuki)

"..." (Ichi)

*Takes three spoonfuls of rice* (ITsuki)

"..." (Ichi)

*Takes three slices of deep-fried beef* (Itsuki)

"... Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

"Hm? What is it, Ichi-chan?" *Taking three slices of deep-fried chicken* (Itsuki)

"... Why do always pick the food in three?" (Ichi)

"... ... ... I don't know, I just pick in order of three, and I also do that when cooking when the recipe asks to put something to taste, and always add more in order of three when needed" (Itsuki)

"... I see..." (Ichi)

Ichi didn't really get it, but she found Itsuki's answer suitable enough

Back to the present

"... Itsuki-san said he seasons it in order of three.... .... ..."

After thinking for a few moments, she picked three teaspoons of salt, but she didn't taste it, since she wasn't really able to differentiate something with a good taste from something with a bad taste. After a few more minutes, she finished cooking and served the five like a professional maid, and they all thanked for the food and started eating

"*Eats one spoonful of Ichi's food* !" (x5)

And after tasting it, they devoured her food with enthusiasm, after they finished eating the food she put it on their plates, she asked

"... So?... How was it?" (Ichi)

"... It was delicious!!!" (Leonardo)

"Yeah, It was the most delicious food I ever ate!" (Jack)

"I don't have the words to even describe it!" (Will)

"I should have taken my time to taste it more!" (Jorge)

"I think I won't be able to find anything else delicious anymore" (Freddie)

"... I see" (Ichi)

Ichi then went and took their plates and cutlery to the kitchen sink, she had made the exact amount for five people, so there was no waste of food, then she came back to the dining room, but instead of new plates, she put a stack of papers in front of each of them, together with a pen

"..." (x5)

"... Hmmm... What is this, Ichi?" (Leonardo)

"... I want a detailed essay review of my homemade food, with the minimum of two thousand words with no maximum limit, and it needs to be done within thirty minutes" (Ichi)

"Huh!?" (x5)

They all looked at her with shocked faces

"... You may start now" (Ichi)

"!!!???" (x5)

They all panicked and started writing with haste and desperation as they wrote against the time

30 minutes later

"Haa... Haa... Haa... Here..." (Leonardo)

"... Thank you, creator Leonardo" (Ichi)

Leonardo was the last one to finish because he wrote substantially more than 2000 words

"..." (Ichi)

Ichi swiftly and carefully read each of their essays

"... ... ... I understand... Your reviews were of great help" (Ichi)

"That's good to hear... Hm?" (Leonardo)

Ichi turned and went back to the kitchen

"What're you doing Ichi?" (Leonardo)

"... Since I received your reviews, I now know what I should improve, I shall cook with the necessary improvements" (Ichi)

"Huh? You're going to cook more?" (Leonardo)

"... Yes... Or should I not?" (Ichi)

"..." (Leonardo)

Leonardo turned his face to his colleagues, and at looking at each other they all nodded in agreement

"Please, cook more food for us to review!" (x5)

"... Understood" (Ichi)

She respectfully bowed down and entered the kitchen, where she immediately started cooking again

"..." <Hang in there us!> (x5)

They were already feeling full because Ichi had made enough to fulfill them, but they decided to endure that pain of eating more than they could, for the sake of their mechanical-magical daughter

Later

It was now around midnight, the five ate quite a big amount of Ichi's homemade food and had also made the same amount of essays review of her food, and the dining room that was once full of life was now filled with depression, as the five were all in pain, as they did their best to not puke out Ichi's homemade food. Ichi on the other hand had cleaned the plates, cutlery, and anything else that she had used while cooking, she had also offered some help to her creators, but they dismissed it so that she could recharge herself for tomorrow

"I feel like dying" (Leonardo)

"..." (x4)

"I see..." (Leonardo)

And he stopped talking, as he clearly understood that none of the others had the leeway to talk even a little without feeling like throwing out

The next day, morning

Ichi who could wake up at any hour with ease was fully recharged, she got up from her bed and disconnected the charging cable from her, changed to her uniform, and went to the kitchen. There she prepared a stacked bento box with 4 stacks and started cooking

Later, just a few seconds for the lunch break

"..." (ITsuki)

"..."(Ichi)

Itsuki was preparing himself, to jump out from the window right at the moment the school bell started ringing

*School bell ringing*

And he quickly got up from his seat and was about to jump out, but...

"...Itsuki-san" (Ichi)

"Hm? What is it, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)

"... Here" (Ichi)

He was interrupted by Ichi, who picked something up and handed it to him, it was a stacked bento box with 4 stacks

"Eh? Really?" (Itsuki)

"... Yes" (Ichi)

"If you say so" (Itsuki)

He accepted the Ichi's bento box, sat back down on his seat, and opened it, then he took a bite of her food

"So good! Did you make all of this, Ichi-chan?" (Itsuki)

"... Yes, I did" (Ichi)

"It's really good!... Hm? Aren't you going to eat too?" (Itsuki)

"... No... Because I made it especially for you" (Ichi)

"I, I see..." (Itsuki)

Itsuki got a little embarrassed from the way she worded it, but he still ate her delicious homemade food, which he really liked eating. Meanwhile, all the boys were jealous of him receiving more homemade lunch this time from Ichi, and a certain someone was observing Itsuki eat Ichi's food with Ichi looking at him with a small smile

"...*Sigh*" <Looks like I was a little late today, but there's later>

It was Mio, and seeing that Ichi was enjoying seeing him eat her food, she decided to not interfere for now. She made a good grief smile and left

(A/N Notes: Ichi's on the attack!)
