[ It took some persuasion and negotiation for the fairies to finally allow them into the café's kitchen for their little baking experiment, but Noel and Noé managed to convince them they know what they're doing (a horrible mistake that will no doubt become an urban legend soon enough). With all the utensils and every possible ingredient they could imagine present, the possibilities for their culinary adventure are simply endless, and Noel can already envision the delicious effect of their combined efforts. As she puts on an apron, she makes a mental note to save some of it for Tsubaki when she gets home. ]

Okay! Are you ready, Mr. Noé? We'll have Tarte Tatin ready in no time!

[ Famous last words. ]

[ There are no words to describe how touched he is by Noel's offer to make Tarte Tatin together. When they're finally in the café kitchen, it feels only fair to warn her so all of Noel's efforts won't be in vain: ]

I am, mademoiselle Noel! There's just one thing...I'm not all that great at cooking or baking. I don't want to be a hindrance, but if there's anything I can do to help, I will do it!

[ A beautiful disaster in the making. ]

[ Noel gives him a reassuring smile. She can certainly understand his lack of confidence, but thankfully, her experience should be enough to make up for that. If it was anything else, she might not consider herself skilled enough to help, but when it comes to cooking and baking, she can definitely make herself useful. ]

Oh, please don't worry about it! Just leave everything to me, and I'll guide you through it!

[ Letting a blind person behind the steering wheel of an aircraft full of people would be less risky of an endeavor, but here we are. ]

Preparing the pastry base can be a bit tricky, so I'll take care of it! In the meantime, could you please begin preparing the caramel? First, just pour the bottle of soy sauce into the pan and bring it to boil!

[ It's... a start, alright. ]

[ There's no fun without risks.... ]

I don't know what would I do without you! [ He's so touched that for a moment he forgets completely about what Noel asked him to do. ] Oh right, the caramel!

[ Should he warn her that he tends to get a little messy in the kitchen? On the other hand, it's not like Noé can hide it in the first place. ]

I'm on it!

[ Why would he question Noel's instructions? On top of that, since she never mentioned how much soy sauce is needed, he's simply going to pour the whole bottle into the pan. ]

What's next?

[ Noel is positively elevated ─ not only does she get to try her hand at a new dessert, she also gets to do it with a new friend! Things may be dire back in her world, but it's hard not to look on the bright side under these circumstances. ]

Ah, don't mention it! I really enjoy cooking, so I'm always happy to help!

[ She says, as she dumps a whole jar of strawberry jam into a bowl of flour, followed by several spoonfuls of mustard. Clearly, she's feeling creative today. ]

Add a lot of honey and mayonnaise! The more, the better!

[ A true masterchef doesn't concern themselves with things like ingredient measurements; like any good art, cooking must be based on intuition! Or at least, that's what Noel believes, for better or worse. Probably for the worse. ]
