Page 8:
[Maruta] Bacalhau <3 (Salted and Dried Cod)
[Smaller text] Mama... God..
[Smaller text] Thank you very much
[Box] Bacalhau is a typical ingredient in my mum's country's (Portugal)
[Smaller text] Huh-- where is it-?
[Smaller text] I expected to still have some but...
[Box] Caught in Northern Europe, the thick cod's body is then salted. The recipe for bacalhau has more than 300 versions!
[Box] But, of course, today's is my own
[Box] ---Firstly, I boil the potatoes I had left, // Meanwhile, sensitively breaking the bacalhau into small pieces with your hands into the water
[Box] Usually, you spend 1-2 days desalting bacalhau but // Because I haven't had it in a while, this time I'm having it in moderation

Page 9:
[Box] Put the potatoes you boiled and the bacalhau into a bowl, add a beaten egg and mix them all together
[Maruta] I wanted to be in a position to add onions and parsely but... // no no, even with this much, it should take around 10 minutes
[Box] If you've finished mixing, use two spoons and,
[Box] Squeeze them into a rugby ball shape----
[SFX] Gu- gu- - squeezing
[SFX] Pon - Tada
[Box] If you fry them in oil at 180 degrees celcius until they become a light brown colour...
[Box] You should have bacalhau crockets
[Box] Finished

Page 10:
[Maruta] I'll taste on...
[SFX] Mogu mogu - chew chew
[Text] Delicious
[Maruta] Perfect! I'm a genius!
[Maruta] As expected from myself~~~~~
[SFX] Burorororo
[SFX] Kiki-----
[Text] Dammit--- I carelessly forgot to get her signature for the package -because she asked me to do something like dance-

Page 11:
[SFX] gacha- open
[Text] Sorry, erm----
[Text] You're dancing again!? -and you're still in the swimsuit-
[Maruta] Eh?
[Maruta] My my, express delivery-san, what's up?
[Text] Eh, ahh, sorry, to tell you the truth...
[Maruta] Ah! I get it!!
[Maruta] You came to eat some crockets right!?
[Text] Ha?
[Maruta] Here, please
[Text] Ah, no, that's not it...
[Maruta] I made it using the stuff you delivered earlier
[Text] Eh!?

Page 12:
[Text] Is- is this okay? It had quite the strong scent but...
[Smaller text] Don't mind it
[Text] Then, erm, ...j-just one....
[SFX] Mogu mogu - chew chew
[Text] ----Eh...
[Text] It's good...? -huh?-
[Maruta] Right!?
[Text] What's with this...how should I put it, it has a distinctively salty tast.... it's good? Somehow the fish's... // I-is it okay if I have another one!?
[Maruta] Please do, please do, I'll have one too... Hnnnnn!
[Maruta] Shall we dance!? -because it's tasty-
[Text] Heh!?
[Box] Eventually, I ended up forgetting about the signature again.
