I suppose my kind of entertainment can only be enjoyed by those with true taste.

[she knows that isn't true JUST LET HER SAVE FACE, HERE]

Okay!!

[ ... if by sprinkle, you mean DUMP A SHITTON OF SUGAR, then Maya's already doing wonderfully. ]

[ He turns away for one second, and what does he come back to? In his horror, he almost drops the box of puff pastry. ]

What are you doing!?

Maybe you should try another town.

[ One very far away. ]

Making sure it'll get thoroughly coated, of course!

[ THIS CAN'T POSSIBLY GO WRONG. ]

[ Something tells Eizen that his curse will be the least of his problems in this baking challenge. ]

. . .

Dump it. It's too much.

[ Oh sweet Marduk, what the fuh-- THE FUN WAS JUST GETTING STARTED! But he does give her this blank confused but full attentive look.

... as he just casually nibbles the cookie in his mouth.

Yes, do go on, young lady. ]

Mm? Mm. It couldn't be any worse than this combination already. But I suppose if you strongly believe so, then it's for the best. [ And quick conversation change is a go now that he reaches for another cookie and offers it to her! ] By the way, have you had these before? They are quite amazing! Although I don't recommend using the drink they're serving here to mix them with. It's not as appealing as it is with milk, I'm afraid.

A teacherly lecture?

[what about this would even deserve that?]

Dump it? But that's such a waste...

[ Maya, it's for the best. ]

[ "Couldn't be any worse", he says, even though-- well.

Laura just sighs and accepts the cookie with a very composed bob of her head. ]

The mistletoe is poisonous, and carries a different meaning than any kind of edible offering. [ as she takes a bite-- ] But you're right, these are delicious.

On the importance of valuing a woman's lips!

[ yes, clearly. ]

Better to waste the excess sugar than the entire batch once they're baked. I understand that you're eager, but moderation is key in the kitchen.

[ Says the guy who uses poisonous ingredients in his meals. ]

...Do I look like some kind of player to you, sensei?

No, no, like you said-- you're a good boy.

[ "good". ]

But that's why I had to get to the bottom of it! Mystery solved, no one gets kissed, lecture avoided!

[ Is Maya Amano going to die (again) today? The world may never know. ]

... I'm starting to think that all serious-looking guys are actually very hardcore pastry chefs.

[ First Katsuya, now this? ]

If its poisonous, then that's an interesting test to try out but... mm, I'd rather not do anything rash so soon. [ Even if he is a pile of mud that is a legendary hero anyway.

A legendary mud hero that likes sweets, that is! ]

Isn't it? I am almost tempted to stay here and eat nothing but these while I'm in here. But that aside, you've mentioned it carries a different meaning, does it? And what meaning would a poisonous sprig have to be pinned on a high place out in the open like this, if you could be so kind to educate me?

Let me at least build up my reputation in this one, first.

[then she can be a traveling minstrel]

[ If test-tube kids can like sweets, she probably wouldn't judge a pile of mud for liking cookies either. Laura's rather open-minded, even if thankfully, this person is nothing like Millium in terms of energy level or containability. ]

While I'm not entirely certain how the tradition came to be, it dictates that two individuals found standing beneath it must share a kiss in some fashion.

[ what weird traditions, though. ]
