This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
[Rinku giggles. She sets some pinecones on the pile and starts the fire quickly with a minimum of magic.]
I brought the food and the little camp cooking stuff! There's a bunch of vegetables in the cooler, and shrimp and octopus and things. I forget if you like spicy things, we don't have to add the peppers if you don't want.
[Because she learned this recipe from manga, because I did, and they used very spicy peppers and we all had regrets.]

I like spicy things, but it depends how spicy? I can't do the super super super hot stuff.
[She has a reasonable spice tolerance! Definitely not Mini's Mom spice tolerance.]
[She has a reasonable spice tolerance! Definitely not Mini's Mom spice tolerance.]
Okay! So maybe just... one of the really, really hot ones cut into really, really little pieces.
[She starts unpacking the food and slicing up the vegetables. She's... well, at least she's improved from canon, where she would hold up the knife with two hands and work up the courage to chop something once. Killing actual monsters maybe makes you a little less scared of using knives in the kitchen.]
I remember you start this one by heating up the olive oil in a pan. I mean, that's how you start most of them, but.

[Knives are less scary than swords! And scythes for that matter.]
Pour olive oil in pan, heat up, got it.
[She sets to work with that step. Easy peasy.]

Yeah! You usually use, like, a tablespoon. I didn't bring a whole big bottle anyway, that takes up way too much space. Though I guess I could, I do have a Hammerspace Purse, huh.
[She struggles a bit with the garlic -- there's always more peel to peel off when she thinks she's done and ready to cut it -- but eventually manages to slice it up and put it in the pan! Then a very small, thin red pepper that she cuts up very small and makes sure to get the seeds out.]
This thing's super spicy, so using more than this kinda...

No way, I like it! But this is really spicy and I don't want you to catch fire or anything.
[In goes the pepper.]
[In goes the pepper.]
I think I'll be okay! I mean, worst case scenario, I can control fire anyway, so.
[Rinku giggles.] I only brought the one little one anyway. Now we keep cooking this stuff over the fire, and then put the other stuff in.
[She pulls out some bags of pre-cut vegetables, shrimp, and octopus. At least those live in the Great Ocean Lake so they don't have to make do with monsters, but then again, maybe that'd taste good too.]

[At least some monsters are edible! And you feel less bad about killing them if they're dangerous to people!]
Ooh, seafood. We don't have a ton of that at home...
Ooh, seafood. We don't have a ton of that at home...
I guess they can't make it in a factory, huh? I know you said a lot of the food in the City is synthesized and stuff.
Yeah, pretty much. You can make meat, but it doesn't really taste like any identifiable animal.
Is it like that fake meat that's made out of peas and beets? That stuff is kinda different, huh.
[Disclaimer: view of character does not reflect view of writer. Beyond is great. ...Impossible is only good with a bunch of stuff on it so it stops tasting like pure iron.
As the food smell starts to spread, Mecchan and Hina wander out of the tent from where they'd been playing with blocks. Hina is about to fly towards the fire, but Mecchan grabs her by the foot(? Are those feet?) and babbles at her nervously. She redirects to perch on a log.]
Oh, hey, guys! This needs a little more time to cook. Okay, now we put in the eggplant slices first, then the mushrooms, then some more garlic...

[Putting in the ingredients, hm hm hm.]
It's kind of like that except the peas and beets are also fake?

Whoa... that sounds kinda weird. I bet this food's way better.
[She stirs in the food and smiles at Evangeline.]
It's kinda fun having someone else helping!

I'm sure it will be! It already smells way better than the artificial stuff.
[Hina squeaks in agreement from the log.]
Thanks, Neechan! I wanted to do all the fun camping things with you. At least all the ones you can do when there's monsters and stuff running around, and if we did river rafting these guys might get scared, so maybe not that right now. I just brought toys and books for them instead.

I've never really been camping for fun? Just for missions. But so far this has been really nice.
Yeah! Maybe next time I should take Mary-chan too. We gotta bring her something back, she always asks for souvenirs when I go out questing.
[Rinku stirs the food and points out the bags of cut-up seafood.]
When the eggplant gets soft, we gotta add those. There's a can of baby corn in there, we put that in then too, and a little bag of... I think it's paprika, it's the closest they could get here. I guess it's easier to grow spices when the land's not full of monsters and Darkness and stuff.

We should definitely take Mary out camping sometime! -Not very far in, though. I know between you and me we could protect her, but I don't want her to get scared at all.
[Mary's a good girl who deserves to feel safe and secure!]
[Mary's a good girl who deserves to feel safe and secure!]
Yeah, I'm kinda worried about her too. I have Barrier Stones, but she might wanna help get wood or hike or something. That's half the fun of this stuff.
[Turning the food in the pot!]
Are you bringing Misu-chan back something too? And Julie-Su-chan?
[Turning the food in the pot!]

Misu's never asked for souvenirs, and neither has Julie-Su, but maybe I should? What would Julie-Su even like...
Hm... I dunno! I'd just like a shell from the beach or something.
Yeah, I think that's a you thing? I don't think Julie-Su would be as excited about it.
Oh... okay. But it's treasure...
[She turns the vegetables and tests a piece of eggplant on the side of the pan.]
Okay! I think it's about time for the rest of the food to go in here.
