"You haven't tried it, have you? Tomatoes and potatoes taste good with salt sprinkled on top... or was it sugar?" EunAh said as she looked around inside the fridge.
'P-potatoes and tomatoes...!' Velvets eyes hadnt deceived her. It was clear from the mont EunAh entered the kitchen and clumsily rooted around the fridge that she was unfamiliar with cooking there.
'This could be a disaster!' Velvet surveyed the kitchen. The thought of having to eat boiled potatoes and raw tomatoes during her favorite ti of the dayaltiwas unbearable. She had to prevent it at any cost.
Zing- Papat!
The dragon hatchlings brain raced as she went through her mories and tried to co up with a solution.
'Kyahang! Got it!'
There was sothing even more important, though
'I have to avoid hurting Mommy EunAh feelings!' Her being able to grasp EunAhs strong-willed nature in such a short ti was truly frightening.
"R-rather than that, she said, how about curry...? I've seen Mommy Sumire make it before! We have all the necessary ingredients here!"
"C-curry?" EunAh had only planned to slice tomatoes and steam potatoes. She looked visibly frustrated at the thought of having to make curry when shed never even boiled an egg herself due to her privileged upbringing.
"Yes! Velvet exclaid. I know how to make it! I saw Mommy Sumire do it! I can help!" Velvet wasn't planning to let go of the opportunity. If she backed down, she would have to eat boiled potatoes and raw tomatoes.
"So you want curry, huh?" EunAh gave it a serious thought before making a decision. "Alright, I'll make it! I just need to follow the recipe!"
"Kyahang! I will help too!"
"Hey, what if you get hurt? Absolutely not. Just watch." Though Velvet seed confident, EunAh didn't allow her to participate in the cooking due to the inherent danger.
"Okay! Got it! Im a good dragon and will listen! I'll just quietly watch!" She thought it would be good to sit in a chair where she could see the kitchen clearly and watch EunAh cook.
"Let's see. First, I have to prepare the ingredients..." EunAh mumbled and wandered around the kitchen..
Upon seeing that, Velvet sneakily went to the fridge and took out the onions Sumire had prepared before. "Ahh! Mom! Check it out! There are so peeled onions here! It seems that Mommy Sumire prepared them beforehand!" Velvet exclaid while pretending to be surprised.
EunAh was easily fooled. "Really? This is great. Was Sumire trying to make curry as well? Let's see The recipe starts with onions..." The recipe EunAh knew of involved using caralized onions sauted in butter, but that was a high-difficulty technique requiring ticulous temperature control as the cook stirred the onions.
"Turn up the heat, put butter in the pan, then the onions... Do I just leave it like this for a while?" EunAh scratched her head while reading the recipe. Velvet looked relaxed, though, so it seed like things were going ok.
"Kyahang~!" Velvet exclaid after EunAh neglected the onion stir-fry for a while. 'Oh no, this is bad...' Caralization was the most important thing in the onion stir-fry, and evenly distributing it over the head of the pan was crucial. If you don't stir the onions, though, they would burn before they caralized.
'The onions will burn at this rate!' If she offered advice right then, she would hurt EunAhs feeling, and she didnt want to do anything to damage her mothers pride.
"Huh... Does curry require so many carrots?" EunAh asked herself.
While the other girl was busy, Velvet cautiously approached the onions without making a sound and discreetly lowered the temperature.
'I'm glad...! With this temperature, they won't burn for a while...'
One minute, three minutes, five minutes EunAh was struggling with sothing that would have taken Sumire 10 seconds.
"Huh, ah! The onions!" Although she'd stirred them later than what the recipe said, fortunately, none of them had burnt thanks to the genius dragon Velvet's touch!
'Phew, that's a relief!' She was proud, but it was still too early to celebrate. Things were just getting started, and she also secretly added ingredients EunAh had forgotten.
Swoosh
After sneakily dumping the carrots in, she returned to her spot and pretended like nothing happened..
"Do I need to put all this in?" EunAh was about to add twice as much solid curry as the recipe called for, but Velvet quickly halved the curry when she wasn't looking as she guided EunAh without the girl realizing.
"What?" Whenever EunAh felt that sothing was off, she looked at Velvet, but the dragonling always feigned ignorance.
"Kyahang! This dinosaur! Must be a dragon's friend!"
Despite having made more than 10 mistakes, EunAh's curry preparation was going too smoothly.
"It should be boiled enough now." EunAh finished up and dipped a spoon into the curry before lifting it to her mouth for a taste test.
"Huh...?" Contrary to the exclamation of surprise Velvet was expecting, EunAh looked serious. "What...?" Looking as if she wasn't sure it was right, EunAh tasted another spoonful of curry and then murmured, "Do I have a talent for cooking...?"
She completely misunderstood things, and Velvet, who'd actually made the dish successful, was exhausted but gave a thumbs up. "As expected, Mommy EunAh is impressive..."
