～Let’s Make Horse Mackerel Fritters 1～ | ||
| Chef Ghost A | Ohh! You have such wonderful knife skills. I had heard that you had some experience, but you really do seem be accustomed to the kitchen～!
Your preparations so far has been perfectly done. Have you ever filleted a fish? | |
Jamil  |
Yes, there were many opportunities for me to do so as a child. I was taught by many people on how to handle fish. | |
| Chef Ghost A | Well, this'll be quite promising, then! Alright, next, let us remove the fish's bones. | |
Jamil |
I got it. I need to press the edge of the knife against the backbone of the fish and slide it down… | |
| Chef Ghost A | Yup, well done. This time, flip the fish to face the other way, and do the same from the tail. | |
Jamil |
Understood. I'll slide the knife's edge towards the head… Alright, I've done it. | |
Deuce  |
Ooh…! That's really beautifully done. Even though we're using the same knife, why are our results this different? | |
| Chef Ghost A | Oho, if it isn't Deuce-kun. Is something the matter? | |
Deuce |
I want to learn how to work with fish, but…
Even as the chef was trying to teach me, I couldn't get it right. I wanted to closely watch and see how someone who actually knows how to cook would do it. | |
| Chef Ghost A | I see, I see～! I'm glad you're so motivated! Jamil-kun, would it be alright for him to observe you? | |
Jamil |
Of course, I have no issues with this. | |
Deuce |
THANK YOU, VIPER-SENPAI! | |
Jamil |
Then, I'll continue. We'll flip the spine so it is against the cutting board… Then we insert the knife from it's back to it's belly. | |
| Chef Ghost A | You're really showing me just how much experience you've had. It's a perfectly done fillet. | |
Deuce |
Hmm, I guess it's true that practice makes perfect. I'll make sure to use the techniques you showed me.
Thank you for letting me observe you. Then, I guess I should be off... | |
Jamil |
Deuce, let me ask you one thing before you leave. What sort of dishes do you like to have on your dining table? | |
Deuce |
I love dishes with egg in them, so I would be super happy to see omelettes or quiches!
Uh, but other than that... Ah, I do get excited whenever I see one of Clover-senpai's tarts for the Unbirthday Parties! The decorations are usually fancy and colorful... Like, I could take one look at it and it would make me go, "Oohh!" Maybe it's "photogenic" like how Diamond-senpai is always saying. | |
Jamil |
Alright, thanks, Deuce. That… That was very helpful. | |
| Chef Ghost B | Heeey, Deuce-kun! We're going to get started again soon～! | |
Deuce |
Yes, I'll be right there. Please excuse me! | |
| Chef Ghost A | Okaaay, good luck to you, Deuce-kun～ Then, I suppose we should continue as well, Jamil-kun. | |
Jamil |
... | |
| Chef Ghost A | Jamil-kun? | |
Jamil |
…Ah, apologies. I was lost in my own thoughts for a moment.
Oh, by the way, Chef. This knife seems to have dulled slightly. May I borrow a whetstone? | |
| Chef Ghost A | Yes, of course. Please use this. | |
Jamil |
Thank you very much. | |
| *sharpens knife* | ||
| *sharpens knife* | ||
| Chef Ghost A | Boy, when I look at it once more, you really did a beautiful job with this fillet of yours, Jamil-kun! | |
| *sharpens knife* | ||
| *sharpens knife* | ||
| Chef Ghost A | (Did he not hear me? What amazing concentration…!) | |
Jamil |
Fufufufufu... | |
| Chef Ghost A | Hwee!? | |
Jamil |
With this... Just you all wait… Fufu… Fufufufufufufufu…! | |
| Chef Ghost A | (H-He's laughing while gripping that knife so tightly…!!)
(Th-th-th-th-this is too scary…! It's almost like a scene out of a horror movie!! Jamil-kun, what in the world is going on…?) | |

～Let’s Make Horse Mackerel Fritters 2～ | ||
Azul  |
Oya, if it isn't Jamil-san! | |
Jamil |
Ugh, Azul… Of all people, you're my judge, I see. | |
Azul |
I have often heard tales of your cooking skills, Jamil-san. I look forward to finally being able to try it. | |
Jamil |
You're too talkative, as usual. Just hurry with the judging and leave already. | |
| ||
Jamil |
…Ahem. This here is a platter of horse mackerel fritters. | |
Azul |
Oh, my… how gorgeous. I'm quite fascinated by the various colorful sauces. | |
Jamil |
I drew inspiration from palatine cuisine. Wouldn't it be boring to just have brown sauce? | |
Azul |
I would expect nothing less from you, Jamil-san. What a wonderful decision. Now, allow me to taste it before it cools. | |
| *bite, chew, chew*... | ||
Azul |
The composition of the batter and the temperature at which you fried it is supurb. This light texture! This brilliant flavor that has soaked into the fluffy body of the fish…!
And finally, these various dipping sauces. It would be no exaggeration to call this the king of all dishes! | |
Jamil |
The way you speak is the real exaggeration. Although, I suppose it's not incorrect to say that I did put my all into this dish. | |
| Chef Ghost A | Jamil-kun did say that he wanted to be more particular with how it was presented. It really was worth my time to teach him! | |
Azul |
It is a wonder that you were able to think up so many colorful sauces. | |
Jamil |
If I were to describe each one…
Red is tomato, green is avocado, and white is mascarpone. And the yellowish sauce is chickpea hummus. The blue sauce was difficult to produce and I really struggled with it. But don't you think that the acidity of blueberry somehow goes well with the horse mackerel? | |
Azul |
Indeed, that was quite new for me as well. It is a dish that completely throws common sense out of the window. The way I view fritters will never again be the same. | |
Jamil |
The more you heap on the praise like that, the more it stinks of lies… Well, I suppose this time I'll accept it at face value. | |
| Chef Ghost A | Myyy, at one point I was quite worried because you were acting strange, but… all ends that ends well! | |
Azul |
…Acting strange? May I ask you to elaborate on that, Chef?
I cannot imagine that the usually calm Jamil-san would ever show that different a side of himself, to the point where you were worried for him… As his classmate, I cannot help but be worried for him. Was there some kind of "specific reason" for it? | |
| Chef Ghost A | I don't know all the details, I only witnessed Jamil-kun laughing to himself while he was sharpening his knife. | |
Azul |
While he was sharpening his knife!? Jamil-san, what in the world happened? | |
Jamil |
…I suppose it isn't anything I need to keep concealed.
I will never forget it. It was during a training camp for the basketball club― | |
| ||
| ―Several months ago, at the basketball training camp. | ||
| THANKS FOR THE FOOD!!! | ||
Ace  |
Whew～! The meal we get to eat right after strenuous practice is the best! Jamil-senpai, everything you cook is delicious!! | |
| Basketball Club Member A | Whenever I get to eat your cooking, it makes me happy that I joined the basketball club. | |
| Basketball Club Member B | Same! I'm so jealous of the Scarabia students who get to eat this cooking all the time. | |
Jamil  |
You know… It's not like I am your chef or anything. | |
Floyd  |
Umihebi-kun, sure, your food is great and all, but it kinda looks boring～ | |
Jamil |
…!! | |
Ace |
Ah, when you put it that way, most of his dishes are pretty brown, yeah. | |
Jamil |
(Boring… Brown…) | |
Ace |
If there was a bit more red, yellow or other bright colors, the spread of dishes might look more appealing. | |
Jamil |
(Brown… Boring… Brown… Boring…) | |
Floyd |
When it comes to cooking, how it looks is also super important. Sometimes, even if you're not hungry, sometimes you can build an appetite if you see something that looks good, y'know. | |
| So true～ Ahahahahaha! | ||
Jamil |
(Brown… Boring… Brown… Boring… Brown… Boring...) | |
Jamil |
…Is what happened. I couldn't believe that everyone was that dissatisfied with my cooking.
My sister would tell me that I make too many brown dishes, but to think that my clubmates all had the same feeling… | |
Azul |
Fascinating. So this dish can be seen as your attempt to show them what you really can do.
What a dedicated effort you put into this! Once everyone in the basketball club tries these fritters, there's no doubt that they will change their perception of your cooking. | |
Jamil |
I'm glad to hear that. It looks like with this dish, I may not have to deal with those guys' complaints anymore. | |
Azul |
Fufu… The basketball club sure is lucky to be able to see Jamil-san's "true abilities." | |
Jamil |
…You don't ever stop talking, do you? Seriously, you're always just so entertained by other people's troubles. | |
Azul |
No, no, I am simply envious of the basketball club, from the bottom of my heart. That being said, I have a proposal for you…
How would you like to work at the Mostro Lounge? I would love to have you manning our kitchens, Jamil-san. | |
Jamil |
I absolutely, definitely refuse!! | |
