*last night before the battle between Y/N and Touma vs Stiyl.*

Kara's POV

After I got back to my dorm room after my day with Y/N. I closed my door and took off my shoes at the entrance as I made my way to the kitchen.

Kara: So what's on the menu tonight? Hmm, got it.

Say to myself as I take out some potatoes, bacon, onions, and mushrooms. I pound the potatoes until there nice and mashed up and I then wrap the mashed potatoes, onions, and mushrooms up in bacon. I grab a large sheet of plastic wrap and shape into a tight, even football shape. I open the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up.

While I wait for the roast to firm up, I go and lined the bacon strips on plastic wrap overlapping slightly as I create a weave pattern. When 25 minutes passed I take out the chilled football shaped potato in the center and carefully wrap the bacon around it leaving no gaps. Securing the wrapped roast with some butcher's wine I keep in my ingredients cabinet so the roast will hold its shape for when I bake it. Put in some sprigs of rosemary in beneath and on top of the roast for added flavor and aroma. I put the roast in for another 10-15 minutes.

After 10-15 minutes pass I preheat the oven and set temperature for 400°F and grab a baking sheet and a wire rack. Place the roast seam-side down on the rack and bake for 30-45 minutes until the bacon is a nice golden brown and crispy.

While the roast bakes I take out some ingredients to make some sauce with red wine, sweet sake, soy sauce, a long with some sugar at add some sweetness. I bring the mixed ingredients for the sauce to the oven as I take out a saucepan and put it on the burner so I can reduce the thickness for about 5 minutes. After that I take out some cold butter and turn off the heat on the burner so I can whisk the cold butter until the sauce is glossy and emulsified.

After the timer is up I open the oven door and take out the roast and set it on the counter for it to cool off for 10 minutes. One 10 minutes is up I remove the twine and rosemary sprigs. I grab a knife and fork as I then pour some of the sauce onto the roast and then garnish it with watercress.

Kara: And all done! My Gocha Pork Roast is finished!

I cut off a piece of my meal and take a bite, and as usual it's delicious

I cut off a piece of my meal and take a bite, and as usual it's delicious.

Kara: Mmm. Damn that's good~ this is definitely an option for future meals.

I say to myself as I continue to eat my meal, and I get halfway done I hear a loud explosion. I run towards the window to my dorm room balcony and look around for where the explosion was and then see the dorm building Y/N. I see a red glow coming from the front side of the building. Seeing the damage I turn around so I can get my phone and call for help only to see a woman standing in the living room behind my coffee table.

Kara: Ah! Who are you!?

???8: There's no reason for you to be afraid of me. And as for my name, that's none of your concern.
