"With these we can make a BIG tart!" ɢʀɪᴍ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍꜱ.
"Peeling all of this is going to be a challenge...but let's get to it."
"All of this...I feel like we're gonna be here for a while." ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ᴍᴜᴛᴛᴇʀᴇᴅ.
"Preparation is necessary when making desserts" ᴛʀᴇʏ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it. Now let's get this over with." ᴀᴄᴇ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇᴅ.

"We'll be using magic to peel off the shells since it takes a bit of work."
"But Ace and Azuma can't use magic. I guess they have to peel it off normally..." ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ꜱᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.
"You're gonna have to teach me how soon." 'I'm gonna be the slowest out of all of us, aren't I?'
"I'll show you I'm faster than your magic!" ᴀᴄᴇ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇᴅ.
"You guys- *ᴍᴜɴᴄʜ* *ᴍᴜɴᴄʜ* -You guys should just watch me and learn!"

"Hey look, Zuma! I managed to peel them off cleanly!" ᴀᴄᴇ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍꜱ.
"I'm surprised. You're very dexterous, Ace."
"Pretty much. I'm from a different level compared to Mr. Serious and that furball." ᴀᴄᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ɢʀɪɴ.
"I peeled them cleanly, too! Take a look for yourself!" "Me too! Compare mine to Ace's!"
"I'm so slow..." ɪ ɢʀᴏᴀɴᴇᴅ ᴀꜱ ɪ ʟᴏᴏᴋᴇᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱʟᴏᴘᴘɪʟʏ ᴘᴇᴇʟᴇᴅ ᴄʜᴇꜱᴛɴᴜᴛꜱ.

'What's up with him?'
"Good work. I'm sure your efforts will make it tastier." ᴛʀᴇʏ ꜱᴀɪᴅ, ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴄʜᴇᴇʀ ᴜꜱ ᴜᴘ.
"I'm already full just from the smell..."
"Next we mix butter and sugar into the chestnut paste, then add oyster sauce as the secret ingredient."
"Oyster sauce!?" ᴡᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴇxᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇᴅ.
'Isn't that salty!? Wait...But Chocolate is in curry. Actually, I've never tasted Oyster Sauce so is it actually very salty? Or is it like Dark Chocolate where it's kinda sweet but it still has that slight bitterness...IDK ANYMORE!!!'
"Pfft—Ahahaha! I was just joking! There's no way I'd put oyster sauce in a dessert."
"Screw you! You said it with such a straight face!" ᴀᴄᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ɴᴀʀʀᴏᴡᴇᴅ ᴇʏᴇꜱ.
ᴛʀᴇʏ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ᴄᴏɴᴛɪɴᴜᴇꜱ ʟᴀᴜɢʜɪɴɢ, "If you took a second to think about it, you'd figure it out."
'I've been thinking about it for more than a second and I still don't understand.'
"The moral lesson here is that you shouldn't believe anything you're told. Learn to doubt a bit." ᴛʀᴇʏ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ꜱᴍɪʟᴇ.
"This guy looks nice but he's pretty good at lying." ɢʀɪᴍ ᴡʜɪꜱᴘᴇʀꜱ.
"Next is the whipped cream—Ah!"
"What's wrong?"
"You guys picked so many chestnuts that I went overboard and made too much Marron Paste. We're a little short on whipped cream." ᴛʀᴇʏ-ꜱᴇɴᴘᴀɪ ꜱɪɢʜꜱ.
"I can go out and buy some. Is it sold at the school store?" ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ᴀꜱᴋꜱ.
"You can find anything at the place so it should be there. Can you pick up a few other things while your at it? 2 cartons of milk, a dozen eggs, silicon cups and 5 cans of fruit..." ᴛʀᴇʏ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇᴅ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴏɴ ᴀ ᴘɪᴇᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴘᴀᴘᴇʀ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ɢɪᴠɪɴɢ ɪᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ.
"I don't think I can carry all of that on my own..."
"I'll go help ya."
"I'm coming too! I don't wanna mix more dough." ɢʀɪᴍ ꜱᴀɪᴅ.
"Ah...Okay then..."
《 Mr. S's Mystery Shop 》
"Pardon us! Woah...this place is amazing. Crystal skulls, grimoires and...wh-what kind of animal is this?"
"Woah. Do they really sell whipped cream in here?"
"Do they sell video games here...!? I need to know..."
"Hey! My lost little demons, what can I help you with? Welcome to Mr. S's Mystery Shop. What can I do for you today? A charm against cheating? An ancient king's armor? Or how about some tarot cards." ᴀ ɢᴜʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴘᴜʀᴘʟᴇ, ᴡʜɪᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴅ ᴀᴛᴛɪʀᴇ ɢʀᴇᴇᴛꜱ ᴜꜱ.

"Is it normal for people to pop out of nowhere...?"
"Um...We'd like the things written here." ᴅᴇᴜᴄᴇ ɢɪᴠᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪꜱᴛ ᴛᴏ "ᴍʀ. ꜱ".

'I can't believe they have some mangas here. Most of these involve adventure...If there were some Psychological Horror or Mahou Shoujou I could probably buy them...'
"Sorry for the wait. It's a bit heavy, you got it? If you order now, you can get a 1/100 size floating platter to carry your purchases for 30% off!"
"What's that? Sounds cool!"
