Let’s Bake a Sweet Potato Tart!

Cafeteria - Judging Venue
Rook Rook	And so our lesson is about to begin. I’ve been looking quite forward to it.
Cater Cater	You seem pretty pumped, Rook-kun~ A lot of the other guys just sign up for this program ‘cus they have to.
Rook Rook	Anytime I challenge something new my heart beats with excitement. Why I could even compose an impromptu poem.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Haha… How about we get our cooking instead of our poetry on, shall we? Let’s get to it, Rook-kun.
Rook Rook	Oui, Monsieur. In that case, we’ll see each other later, Cater-kun. Let’s give it our best.
Cater Cater	Will do. Good luck, Rook-kun~♪
Kitchen
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	You’ve been smiling this entire time, Rook-kun. Did something good happen?
Rook Rook	Indeed. The kitchen is one place I’ve rarely been in. Everything about it feels new. The rush is one similar to encountering a new land of adventure!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	A new land of adventure, you say. In that case, allow me to use my experience in the kitchen and be your guide.
Rook Rook	Oh, it seems as if you’ll take good care of me! Merci, Chef. And yet… Is that sweet potato? I find myself intrigued by this mysterious tart. Using potato as a filling is a unique idea. Perhaps it’s savory… One that isn’t sweet and meant to be eaten as a meal.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	No, I’m afraid not. It’s a kind of sweet dessert. Here, try one of these boiled sweet potatoes first.
Rook Rook	Oh là là, the color of it is a deep yellow. It’s also quite moist. I’ve never eaten one like this before. I wonder when the last time I ate a potato without any salt or butter was. The flavor of the ingredient on its own looks exquisite…*chewing* Très bien!! Color me surprised! I had no idea potatoes could be this sweet without putting anything on them. I can’t get enough of how soft and flavorful it tastes.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	It’s a kind of potato grown abundantly in the East. We’re going to be making a filling out of it. Don’t you think it’ll make for a delicious dessert?
Rook Rook	Marvelous… There are still so many delicious things in the world I’ve yet to taste! Fufu, discovering something new so soon… I feel even more motivated now!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Hearing you say that makes me even more excited to teach you. Now then, let’s make the filling. From what you’ve said so far, I get the impression that perhaps you don’t have very much cooking experience..?
Rook Rook	Correct. Though I tend to do some light cooking outdoors, it’s nothing much beyond cutting and cooking the ingredients over an open flame.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Oh? You go camping then, do you? It’s also pleasant to have a meal outdoors.
Rook Rook	I’m glad you feel the same way! I could never tire of experiencing the uniquely tense thrill of it.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Well… I don’t know about this thrill you speak of, but I guess to each their own. In any case, since you don’t have a lot of experience I suppose I should explain what each of these tools is for. Do you know what this is?
Rook Rook	It’s a potato masher! The last play I saw had a scene where a chef used one to give the potatoes a good mashing.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	That’s correct. Now then, let’s use it to mash up these ones that have already been peeled.
Rook Rook	Leave it to me. I’m confident I’ll be able to do it by hand. I can already hear the beautiful harmony of these golden potatoes when combined with sugar, eggs, whipped cream, and butter! What do you think, Chef? Does the filling seem alright?
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Yes, I think the consistency of it looks good. Next let’s add some brandy and vanilla extract to give it a nice aroma.
Rook Rook	The smell of it already seems much more rich and fragrant. The aroma is quite appetizing.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Now, if you’ll just fill up this pastry here with that delicious-looking filling. Be careful not to overdo it.
Rook Rook	Oui! I want to make sure it looks beautiful as well. I’ll take care to fill it evenly.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	You seem quite pleased, Rook-kun.
Rook Rook	Indeed I am… Fufufu. Who knew the kitchen could be full of such delight.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Oh?
Rook Rook	This tart is one step closer to being done. My heart is brimming with the joy of baking something delicious.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Your excitement is infectious. I’m enjoying myself as well.
Rook Rook	Oh là là, it’s always wonderful to share your joy with others. Who knew cooking could be so wonderful!

Kitchen
Rook Rook	……
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	You’re all smiles again. I suppose you’re looking forward to the tart being done. But what are you looking at? The oven isn’t in that direction...
*oven beeps*
Rook Rook	...Ah, it looks as if the tart is done. Now I just need to be careful removing it before slicing it. I wonder who will be the one to try out the tart Chef helped me make?
Cafeteria - Judging Venue
??? ???	Hello, Rook Hunt-san. Today I’ll be your judge.
Rook Rook	Ortho-kun! To think you’d be the one to judge my cooking! Right? Who would’ve thought they’d choose someone who even doesn’t eat like me. I never even considered running a simulation on the possibility. I may not be able to judge you in the same way as the others, but I’ll do my best. Then I hope the experience will give you some food for thought, as it were. I present to you my sweet potato tart.
Ortho Ortho	Thanks. Allow me to run a scan on it, Rook Hunt-san.
[beginning scan]
[scanning complete]
Ortho Ortho	The main nutrients in this tart are carbohydrates, sugar, fat, protein, vegetable fiber, and sodium. Carbohydrates, sugar, and fat make up 94% of its nutritional content. It contains a considerable amount of energy. You could say it’s a perfect menu item for a cafeteria that serves a school full of so many growing students.
Rook Rook	Ça m'étonne! Being able to precisely analyze its nutrients in just a short amount of time… You really are quite amazing! You’ve taught me how to appreciate sweet potatoes in another new way. Merci, Ortho-kun.
Ortho Ortho	Regarding your technique, I ran a scan on both the surface and the inside of it. The filling was spread evenly across the entire tart without any even the slightest inconsistency… No matter which part of it you eat it from, both the texture and taste are exactly the same.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	What’s this?! And considering it was all done by hand, too… Even using cooking equipment, it’s not uncommon for there to be at least some inconsistency.
Ortho Ortho	Considering the sweet potatoes used as ingredients contain a large amount of fiber, I imagine it wasn’t easy to mash them up evenly.
Rook Rook	Ah. I’ve heard that they’re still enjoyable to eat even if you don’t mash them up completely, however… Unable to discern the proper degree, I tried to focus on mashing all of them up well.
Ortho Ortho	Oh, I see. Because you took your time with it, the filling is very rich and creamy.
Rook Rook	I appreciate your glowing evaluation, Ortho-kun. I’ll be able to keep working hard thanks to your kind words.
Ortho Ortho	It was a good experience for me, too! I’m glad I didn’t have any trouble fulfilling my duty.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Just as Ortho-kun said, you did quite a fine job. I was impressed by how nicely the shape of it turned out.
Rook Rook	Chef, Ortho-kun… I appreciate your generous praise. Your words have filled my heart with warmth! Learning from you, Chef, and having Ortho-kun evaluate my cooking has been such a wonderful experience. On top of that my wish was granted, so I’m truly happy indeed.
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Oh…? What kind of wish are you talking about? Didn’t you sign up for this course in order to improve your culinary repertoire?
Rook Rook	Oui, Monsieur! However, I am le chasseur d’amour (the hunter of love). No matter the occasion I mustn’t forget my pursuit of beauty. Behold… Do you see Cater-kun over there? He’s taken an earnest interest in this class and is in the middle of preparing his dish. I wanted to see how he looked while doing so. After all, effort is the most enduring form of beauty! Being able to observe him in close proximity is marvelous indeed! There are many students who have an aversion toward joining this class. As far as effort, or rather beauty, goes, I thought it would make the perfect hunting ground, and I see I wasn’t mistaken!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	You mean to tell me the reason you’ve been enjoying this course so much...
Rook Rook	...Was to take in my fill of beauty!
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	Not because of cooking, but that?!
Ortho Ortho	This isn’t any kind of Master Chef I’m familiar with...
Ghost Chef Ghost Chef	…Even so, you gladly partook in this course. I enjoyed having you.
Rook Rook	I’m grateful for this rare experience. Ah, I’m looking even more forward to our next lesson!
