It was so crowded in the supermarket and the streets

so I'm a bit exhausted now.

I think it's because it's the last holiday of the New Year.

Right?

Gosh, it's this late already?

Feeling hungry, Kasuga?

Yes, I am.

Alright. Let's get to cooking, then.

Sure.

As I was shopping around, I came to realize

that things have gotten quite expensive, huh?

I agree.

The eggs in particular. They've gotten expensive.

Right?

I was a bit surprised when I bought it.

I get the feeling.

The grilling is coming along well.

Some finishing touches.

Go ahead.

It's done!

Doesn't it look delicious?

She loves to cook and She loves to eat

We're digging in!

Let's see...

It's so good!

The egg is so fluffy.

It's very delicious.

Right?

This may have been the best I've ever done.

We made the right choice to use four eggs.

Yes.

Also, the chervil tastes good.

Right?

I agree on what you said about the chervil, but...

Kasuga, I've been meaning to tell you something...

Sure.

I was just wondering...

Don't you think we spent a little too much money over the New Year holidays?

Yes.

I thought the same thing too.

I was right then?

We had roast beef during the year-end and that luxurious hand-rolled sushis...

Osechi - Osechi is the special traditional cuisine Japanese people eat at New Year, especially the first three days of January.

We made an osechi too.

It was so good though, right?

It truly was.

It was really delicious. All of it.

Still...

I do think it would be better to save some money from now on.

When we're together, we get a bit too excited and end up making too much.

You're right.

Perhaps we should cut back a bit on these good-for-two meals.

Well, I guess so.

We couldn't help it but it's been so fun.

We even bought some chervil.

I'm glad we bought the chervil though.

But, I guess we'll go with that.

Let's refrain from eating our meals together for a while.

Yes.

You've been sighing quite a lot today.

Is that so? - Yes.

About 4 times already?

Sorry.

Did something happen?

I mean, it's not like it's anything...

You see... - Yes?

Remember that person I talked to you about?

The one from the same apartment building?

Yes.

You see,

that person and I had such a great time during the year-end and New Year's holidays.

Isn't that an awesome thing then?

Yes, but...

When it's just the two of us, we tend to spend too much money.

So, we've decided to refrain from eating together for now.

So, that's the problem. Are you feeling lonely?

Lonely?

I guess so.

I feel like my life is lacking some color in it.

Ms. Nomoto.

Are you bragging about your love affair?

What? Why would you...? That's not it!

You see, I can tell that you must have had a lot of fun.

I mean, yes. I did have fun.

Isn't that nice?

Now you're making me wanna fall in love too.

What? I mean...

Is it really possible to fall in love in that way?

Well, of course it's not that simple.

But if you don't try to meet other people, then you won't really find someone.

Going back and forth between work and home won't cut it.

Well, you do have a point.

I don't live in an apartment building where I could find someone amazing

who happens to live next door like you have.

I wonder if I should re-register for the app?

App?

*A dating/matching app

I created an account before but didn't push through with it.

I should probably take it seriously now.

I'm digging in.

Swan Moving Center for your relocation

Seems like the person next door has finally moved in.

It looks like it.

They left a lot of cardboard boxes outside.

I had a meatless sukiyaki bowl today.

Sukiyaki - Sukiyaki is a Japanese hot pot dish of beef, vegetables, tofu, and noodles simmered in a sweet sauce.

My attempt in saving money as much as I can.

Looks good!

I enjoyed the meal.

I had fried noodles.

One meal for 37 yen.

I'm digging in.

That looks delicious.

Nomoto, would you like to have a mochi party next time?

Mochi - Mochi is a type of traditional Japanese rice cake made by pounded steamed sticky rice grains into a paste

M-mochi party?

I have some extra mochi from New Year's.

In that case, I don't think it would cost much to have dinner for two with these.

What do you think?

What?

What? What?!...

What?!

That sounds good!

I'd like to try a variety of arrangements for it.

How about tomorrow?

I'm looking forward to it.

I'll bring some ingredients I have at home that we can use.

Really...

A mochi party...

I wonder if Kasuga is keen about wanting to see me too?

I have natto, a radish, and a grater for the radish.

Natto- Natto is a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans

Also, some bacon and cheese that we could use for something?

This is just perfect!

It's good that you brought some natto and radish for grating.

As for me...

Since I have a pizza sauce,

maybe we could make some pizza mochi or something?

Oh, and use this for toppings.

It's a little shriveled,

but since we have garland chrysanthemums, I'd like to use it.

A mochi pizza, and garland chrysanthemums?

By the way, have you met the new neighbor?

I haven't yet. How about you?

Same here.

I wonder what they're like.

Right.

It's been vacant for quite some time.

It feels a little strange, doesn't it?

Right?

I'll also be renewing my rent for this room this year.

It's melting, it's melting!

It's looking really good.

Right?

Okay...

Woah. The grilled part is looking good.

Right, here you go.

Thank you. - No worries.

How is it?

It's so delicious. It goes very well together.

Let's see...

I'm digging in.

This could go well with booze.

Yeah, it's delicious.

Lay out the mochi cut in half...

Put some garland chrysanthemums and then some bacon...

Top with lots of cheese.

Wow! This looks so good!

Mochi pizza!

Should we slice it?

Sure.

This is bad, Kasuga!

I can't cut it! It's too sticky!

This is so good too!

Delicious. - Right.

The bottom part is so crispy too.

Yes.

This mochi pizza is tasty.

Nomoto, do you think we can do a dessert-type for this too?

Dessert-type?

I found out about it when I was looking up an arrangement recipe.

Bake it in butter, top it with cream cheese

and drizzle honey all over it.

Kasuga...

There's cream cheese,

and I have some honey too!

Nomoto, you think you got room for more?

Yes!

I can't move...

You really ate a lot.

I wonder how many I ate.

One piece of mochi is about the same amount as one serving of rice, right?

Yes.

That was a lot of fun.

Yes.

Although it's fun to have big portions of food for events like this,

I would also like to have a simple meal with you, Kasuga.

I mean, you see...

We hadn't eaten together for a while because we were trying to save money, right?

But even if it's just a budget meal,

like that meatless sukiyaki bowl, for instance.

I'd like to make and eat something like that with you.

You're right.

If you're in the mood for a meal like that,

then do invite me over, Nomoto.

I will invite you as well.

Yeah. Thank you.

Should we tidy up?

Sure.
