The Bonds Oranges Connect

Millet's initial 4★ story (2/3) ( 1 - 2 - 3 )

Location: kitchen (morning) ; atelier (morning) | Characters: Millet, Van Gogh, Munch, Jan, Hubert, Hiroshige, Aoi/MC

Hiroshige: Mmmh… It has a harmonious balance of sourness and sweetness. Everyone, you're all very good cooks.

Jan: Yeah! Bert-nii's sweets are always so delicious! Today's sweets are also very tastyyy!~

Aoi: He always makes them for you, so he's used to it. They look so pretty, like the ones sold in shops!

Hubert: Fufu, I'm glad they were good.

Van Gogh: Mmmh! This orange jam is delicious! Millet-san, can I have some more bread?

Millet: Yes, shall I go and slice more of it?

Munch: Milley. Can I share this bread with Kojima-san and the others?

Millet: Yes, just a bit of it.

Munch: Okaaay!

Millet: Do you want some bread too, Miss Deputy?

Aoi: Thank you. Then, I'll take it.

Millet: Okay, here. And also this, if you like.

Jan: Huh? Millet-nii, what's that? Why a sweet potato? And the orange?

Millet: This is a sweet potato stewed in orange. Do you want to try it?

Jan: … Tasty! It's tasty, Millet-nii!

Millet: Is that so? Then I'm glad.

Jan: Hey, you try it too, Bert-nii! Aaaaah…

Hubert: Hm… it's true. It's sweet and sour, it's delicious.

Aoi: (Fufu, everyone is having fun…)

Millet: Is something the matter, Miss Deputy?

Aoi: No, I was glad we could all eat together like this.

Millet: You're right. I'm glad you enjoyed the oranges. It was worth taking good care of them.

… Thanks for helping me too, Miss Deputy.

Aoi: You're welcome, but… in the end, I couldn't do much. I'm sorry. I just got to be treated by everyone else as a guest. I guess I should learn to cook a little more.

Millet: But that's okay, isn't it? You're always working so hard for the museum. Leave the cooking to me, at least.

Aoi: Fufu, if you put it that way, you're also working hard as an artist to create paintings. I'm glad you're cooking for us, but please don't overdo it.

Millet: Yes, I know. I'm an artist by profession. Ah, here, eat some more.

Aoi: Yes… It's really delicious.

Millet: I'm glad.

Jan: Hmmm, I'm full…

Hubert: It seems quite difficult to eat this amount of food.

Hiroshige: Even if we ate it every day with all the artists in the museum, it would probably take quite a while… Won't it rot in the meantime?

Van Gogh: I'll eat oranges for every meal!

Millet: Hahaha, you don't have to force yourself to eat that much.

Van Gogh: But… It would be a waste if they got ruined.

Millet: Hmmm… that's true. What should we do?

Jan: Hmmm, we could try to eat them ourselves… But Millet-nii's oranges are so delicious, I wish more people could try them.

Millet: … Ah, then how about sharing them with the neighbors?

Hiroshige: That's a good idea. And it will keep the oranges from spoiling.

Munch: The birds will be happy and I'm sure everyone else will be too!

Aoi: The birds…?

Van Gogh: I think it means that they'll be happy if you share those with them, like bread?

Aoi: Aah, I see. You were sharing bread earlier. If you want to share, I'll go with you. I'm indebted to the people of the city.

Hubert: Then it might be nice to share orange jam or cookies as well, not just fruit.

Millet: Right. Let's make small portions for easy distribution.

Jan: I'll help!

Aoi: (Looks like Millet-kun is having fun. I'm sure the people of the city would love it. But it would be nice if we could also show the people of the city how great they are as artists... I know!)

Hey guys. There's something I'd like you to take with you when we go to share–

Hiroshige: The distribution event the other day was a huge success and everyone in town enjoyed it.

Hubert: Yes, it's nice to see them so happy. It's worth making it…

Millet: We still have oranges, so it would be nice to make something else to share.

Hubert: Then I'd like to include different sweets than the other day.

Millet: Yes, that would be good–

Van Gogh: Everyone, it's an emergency!

Aoi: V-Van Gogh-kun…?
