Alright, here we go

Page 115

What’s with that expression?
Older brother…

Page 116

Summer is just around the corner
I’m trying to think of a new menu
I see
I managed to narrow it down to three main ingredients but (Bweh, I need to practice katakana again)
Why don’t we test them out one by one?
I thought about that too but it’s too difficult to buy the ingredients with our schedule
I see…
Why don’t we let Keseran decide?
Aaa! Good idea!

Page 117

Maybe we’ll figure out a certain creature’s eating habits
He’s always eaten what we’ve given them until now hasn’t he?
Now that that’s settled
Tomato
Then carrots and milk

Page 118

Keseren, do you like the middle one the most?
The carrot can be used in a could soup
The tomato becomes a light, refreshing soup
And the milk is planned to be a classic staple summer soup!
They all feel perfect for summer so I can’t decide

Page 119

Cold potato soup is good too, right?
Ah, I like that one too!
What was it called again? Saumrai noise?
It’s Vichyssoise!
Keseran is wandering around, but…
Maybe it’s because it’s still raw?
Good point, that must be it!
Eh?

Page 120

Looks like for Keseran, Tina is first place in what he likes (Keseran wants to eat Tina, how horrifying)
You’re first place for me too! (Tina wants to eat Keseran too)

Page 121

Later
Finished!

Page 122

We’re having a feast today
I ended cooking up all 3 meals
Have you tasted them?
Yeah, but as expected I still couldn’t decide
Guess we have no choice but to rely on Keseran

Page 123

It’s good that everything tastes good
I’m so happy to hear you say that!
I wonder which one Keseran will pick next
Well then, we’re counting on you Master Keseran

Page 124

Carrot Soup
This one might be his favorite meal
It really seems that way!
Tomato Soup
This one may also be his favorite meal…
Yeah…
Milk Soup
I wonder how much he’ll like this one

Page 125

Hiyuvaa!
!?
Did he just make an animal noise?
He liked it so much he made an animal noise! (I didn’t realize Keseran could make any sounds)

Page 126

Alright, the new menu has been decided!
Come to think of it, this soup sounds a lot like Keseran, doesn’t it?
Yeah, it’s funny how their names are really similar
Keseran is so cute!

What a surprise there by the end

この中で － amongst these, from these choices (which do you like the most).

翻訳してくれてありがとう！

Ah

Thank you! For whatever reason, I could not for the life of me figure out what that was!

5

I didn’t figure it out on my own, translators are helpful :3

6

The ”ヴぃ” threw me off and I wasn’t sure what it even was so I could plunk it into a translator. Never mind complicated kanji, foreign loan katakana words will be the (non literal) death of me!

7

Another wholesome and cute chapter :cherry_blossom: So many new words :heart:

My two top highlights of this chapter:

  • When Kesaran jumped at Tina to tell that she’s the thing they like the most.
  • Kesaran making sounds. I couldn’t believe this one, though.

I feel like this manga is my weekly dose of cuteness :heart:

Thank you again for the translation and the help everyone :cherry_blossom:

Ohhhh, is this the week I catch up?!?!?

Maybe lol! This chapter was hard, some things came easier than others lol. The last page I got wrong…a lot lol.

I did, however, build a new schedule where I get up and read before work now! It has been nice sitting outside in the morning and reading before the heat of the day hits.

Pg. 115

Why the troubled face?
Older brother!

Pg 116

Summer is coming, and I am thinking about a new menu.
I see
I have narrowed it down to 3 ingredients
Can’t you try them one at a time?
I think that will be hard to stock up on.
Perhaps
What if Nanigashi decides?
Ah! That would be good!

Pg 117

We might find out what she likes/dislikes.
That’s true, Nanigashi eats everything I have given so far
Alright, she will decide
Tomato
This carrot
and milk

Pg 118

Keseran, among these, what do you like the best?
Carrots for a cold soup
Refreshing Tomato Soup
I can make a classic summer milk soup
They all have a summer feel, and I can’t decide

Pg 119

Potato soup is also good, ah, I was a little hesitant to include that one, eh, how do you say that one again? Samurai Sword?
vishinnwa-zu
Keseran is just wandering around
Maybe it’s because the ingredients are raw?
That must be it.

Pg 120

Th…this
That must mean Tina is what’s liked the most
I also like you a lot!

Pg 121

That night
Done!

Pg 122

Thanks for cooking today
I ended up making all 3
3 different flavors?
Yes, I couldn’t decide.
Well, now Keseran can

P 123

They all look good
I’m really glad you said that
I wonder what Keseran will pick?
Alright, Master Keseran!

Pg 124

carrot soup
She likes that one
really?!
Tomato Soup
She likes that one the same
nice.
Milk soup
Do you think this will be the same?

Pg 125

Have!! (I think?)
She just made a noise?
It’s so good she made a noise?

Pg 126

Yes, the new menu item has been decided!
Come to think of it, this soup sounds a lot like Keseran, doesn’t it?
Yeah, it’s funny how their names are really similar
Keseran, thank you!
