★8th Star☆ [Video|Action]

[Video]
[The bright sun, blue sky, even the odd cloud dotted here and there. Whoever is holding the journal is doing a pretty good job of capturing the good weather right now.]

After all the rain and wind last week it's this sort of sunshine that really makes Fuuko think of summer.

[The journal soon pulls back to show that the sky is being recorded through a massive hole in the roof of one of house 26's upstairs bedrooms.]

However Fuuko really does not want to enjoy summer whilst still being inside like this! Most of the water has dried away or has been mopped up but this thing is still here! Even if Fuuko was low on money and couldn't afford AC this would be a very extreme solution. And even then money isn't a problem so why is this hole still here?!

[Normally these things see to themselves, but nope. Still a hole. The bedroom is still a complete wreck too, with debris and bits of glass and the door frame scattered about all over.]

If anyone knows anything about fixing things like this then Fuuko would appreciate a little of your time. Fuuko will even prepare something to give to your for your trouble, something very delicious!

[Oh, and quickly adding in at the end--]

Also, Fuuko hopes everyone who went into space returned home safely! If you all want something delicious too then please come to house 26, there's going to be more than enough for anyone who wants some. Fuuko will make sure of that!

[Action]

[The 'something very delicious' Fuuko was referring to is starfish shaped bread. Giant loaves of it. There's only so much of the stuff she can make before she needs more ingredients though so she's out around the village to pick up some more.

... But she couldn't just leave all the bread she had recently baked alone in the house. Even if Kotomi and Nagisa are there who knows what could come through that hole in the roof! As such, Fuuko is carrying a bag of freshly baked starfish bread around with her. Don't you just love the smell of bread that's just come out of the oven? It's still a little warm too!]

[A droop of the face - it wasn't that difficult to get out.

But, standing and watching her do all the work is nice, too, even if he almost feels like she shouldn't now... maybe because it reminds him of those old habits, but he's not really thinking about that.]

[A few moments later and the place looks a lot tidier, even if there's still flour all over the place. She'll probably need to get a cloth for all that later.]

That should do it. The bread should hopefully be cool enough now if you want to try one Beast-san. If it's not then please don't burn your tongue.

[The flour means nothing to Beast, he's just a little excited that that homemade bread is ready. It looks so fluffy and tasty, it's too tempting. He carefully picks one piece and picks it off the tray - it may be still too hot for most, but Beast's fingers say it's fine. But it does seem a bit hot, so he only just takes one bite off one of the star's points.

Ow! Ow! Too hot! Too hot! He should be hiding the pain better but he's not, making a bit of a panicky sort of noise as he opens his mouth and pants to try and cool it down. Oh mon Dieu that hurts the tongue. Ow. Ow. Alright, he can chew and swallow now. The... texture is nice. He thinks. He's not sure about the taste, it was too hot.]

[... That's not the reaction she was hoping for. Does it really taste that bad?! It must be the heat, yeah, that's it. The starfish bread is wonderful, there's no way anyone could dislike it.

Since Beast looks as though he's quite a bit of pain, Fuuko rushes to fetch a glass and fill it with water to give to him.]

Fuuko did warn you not to burn yourself! It was the heat that made you react like that and not the taste though, right? Fuuko really hopes so!

[Ffff yes he knows you warned him, Fuuko, don't remind him, it didn't hurt much really. He looks innocently at her and then looks down at the bread he's still holding.] Y... y-yes, it... was.

[He would take another bite to see what it's like without the heat... but he's not sure if it's still too hot. He'll just wait a bit.]

Good! For a moment Fuuko was worried you might have hated the taste or that you had just found out you have an allergy for starfish shaped bread!

[And that would have been pretty damn awful if it were the latter.

Anyway, nudging the glass of water towards Beast.]

If you drink some water then it should help the pain go away. When you have a burn it helps to put something cool on it.

[She read that in a medical text and everything whilst on a draft. Such an awesome medic.]

[Silently shaking his head - no, Fuuko, he has no allergies for anything, especially bread (he doesn't even know why the shape would change that).

But he does take the water and drinks it down immediately, maybe a little too fast but his tongue at least feels less numb. Alright... breathe, put down the glass, and prepare to speak.]

Th-th... thank you.

No problem! Fuuko was glad to be here to see to your burn. If you ever have a sprain then Fuuko can help with that too!

[The aspiring medic inside of her wanted Beast to know that.

Once Beast feels like he can manage it then she's expecting him to attempt another bite. You know, just to confirm that the bread was just to hot.]

A... alright. [The aspiration isn't that evident to him, and he already expects to have Adele help with his sprains instead... but he trusts that Fuuko can help, too.

Alright, let's try this again. He takes another bite from the same star point - the first thing he notices is the fluffiness, which he already knows is a good thing. The crust is nice and sweet, firm but not too hard... all just the way he likes it. The reaction this time is much slower and less dramatic, but the smile on his face makes it obvious what he thinks... if not for the words he's muffling through the munching.]

Ish dellishish!

Great, the starfish bread was a success!

[Cheering, arms in the air, woo!]

That's great, Fuuko is glad to know Fuuko got the recipe down! Make sure not to talk with your mouthful the next time someone asks you if something tastes good though, Beast-san.

[He freezes up, his face twisted in his realisation... and he gently swallows the rest. He gives a sheepish response, followed by an equally sheepish grin.] R... right.

Th-thank you.

It's okay! If you would like to take some home with you then Fuuko thinks it will be okay. As long as you leave a few for Fuuko and Fuuko's friends that live here then it should be okay.

It... it will?

[His smile widens. Bringing home tasty fluffy homemade bread from Foo-ko? Sounds delicious!]

Yes, it will! Fuuko can probably find a bag to put them in too, then you won't have to carry them all squashed up in your arms.

[Without even waiting for a reply she's already off and looking for something to put the bread in.]

A, alri-

[But he is already alone in the room. With the bread. He'll just... have some more of the one he's holding, he doesn't mind.]

[Aaand she's back with a picnic basket of all thing.]

Fuuko thought this would be good to carry the bread in, even if you're not planning to go on a picnic or anything like that. It will still hold the bread properly.

I... [At first hesitant as he tries to figure out which paw will take the basket, he solves the problem by putting the bread in it so both of them could hold.] Thank you. It... it's alright to t-take more?

Yes, as Fuuko said take what you want but leave some for Nagisa-san and Kotomi-chan. [So take what you want dude. She's happy to know someone is enjoying her bread enough to ask to take more.]

[A smile crawls onto his face - as much of Foo-ko's homemade bread as he wants!] Thank you! [He peers carefully at the selection and takes a few for himself... just enough to fill the basket, leaving plenty of loaves for everyone in the house.]

It's no problem at all! [Smile!] If you like them a lot then Fuuko won't mind baking some more, though Fuuko would like to wait until the roof is better before then.

I do.

[A soft smile before he looks up at the mentioned roof.] It's strange that it's still... there. [The hole he means.]

It is, that's why Fuuko ended up asking for help in the first place. Fuuko would normally not bother worrying about this sort of thing but it has been some time now and roof is still the same.

[This is what she gets for becoming reliant on magical shifting roof repair. Tsk.]

Hmm.

Th... thank you again f-for the bread.

[He is about to turn to leave, but then thinks better of it.] If... if I can help you with it... I-I'm always around.

Really? Do you think you could really help out with Fuuko's roof problem somehow? [Happy days!] Fuuko would be more than happy to have someone help, especially as Fuuko knows very little when it comes to a roof.

Me... me too.

[He means "me neither"... but he did mention before he came that he doesn't know much about fixing things. But he said he would help, so help he will.] I w-will try.
