- Hello this is Café Poirot, I am listening.

- H-Hello ! Excuse me for disturbing you... My name is Amuro Yuna, I'm Tooru's sister... I'm calling to tell you that he's not feeling well today... He won't be able to come to work...

- Oh! Thanks for warning! If he doesn't call directly, it must be serious... Take good care of him!

- Yes ! Have a good day !

- Have a good day !

Phiew... One thing done...

I'm going back to Zero's room

- Sorry...

- Don't apologize... Considering how much you helped me, it's not much.

His arm hides his eyes.

The light may be too strong...

I walk to the window and pull the curtain to lower the light.

- ...Thanks...

- No problem.... Say, are you hungry? I'm going to cook something...

Hearing these words, he tries to get up.

- It... It's okay... I'll do it...

He loses his balance and I barely catch him before putting him back on his bed.

- Given your condition, you're not going to do much...

- Then at least go buy something already cooked... I don't wanna have to repair the kitchen...

- Don't underestimate me! I have improved my cooking since then!

He's laughing.

- I'm not in a hurry to taste, but I guess that with Vermouth lurking, you shouldn't go out...

- I'm going to prepare something good, you'll see!

And I leave the room.

Once in the kitchen, I search the cupboards in search of an idea.

It should be enough to prepare some curry...

I take my phone.

Me
Say, could you send me the recipe you use to make curry?
08:23

Subaru
Why? Aren't sandwiches enough for you?
08:25

Me
It's good to eat a various things too, isn't it?
08:25

Shuichi ends up sending me detailed instructions on how to go about it. Maybe even too detailed...

Me
Man I know what a spoon looks like!
08:41

Subaru
I never know with you.
08:41

Pff...

After an hour and half of hard work, I fill a plate and bring it to Zero.

- Tadaa!

He looks at the plate, surprised.

- ...It took you an hour and half to order food...?

Close to suffocating him with his pillow, I decide to keep my cool and just hand him a full spoon.

- Taste for yourself before saying anything.

He takes the spoon and eats. His expression changes.

- S-So how is it...?

He's coughing.

- I'm willing to admit that you didn't buy it... It would almost be illegal to sell this thing...

As I debate to myself whether or not to ultimately hit him, he takes another bite.

- It's okay, I get used quick to this taste!
