Night soon came upon Hage Village as everyone had settled around the table. Prism couldn't help but fawn over that familiar aroma of freshly cooked pot potatoes as her mouth had practically watered over the sensation. "Bime i elena!" Prism said as her eyes practically sparkled, "It looks as delicious as I remember!"

"You and your pot potatoes." Brenin said with a laugh, "You really haven't changed."

"Woah.." Fafanar said in awe, "They smell so delicious!"

"Is that a--" Mowryn said, "--Is that one made of pudding?!"

"Huh, I didn't think that was possible." Karasu said astonished.

"I am shocked yet intrigued." Arfau said in awe.

"So these are the famous tato dishes I've been hearing so much about." Dak said, "How astonishing."

"I'm not sure if they'll be to your liking." Father Orsi said, "But please help yourselves."

Everyone soon took their own plates before they started to eat; most of them had been taken back by the taste, though Prism, Feodora, Yuno, even Brenin on the other hand had been eating it like it was nothing. "Mmmm~!" Prism said, "And it's just as yummy as I remember it too!"

"Yup, it's like I have had this yesterday." Brenin said, eating a piece.

Karasu smacked his lips, "Not bad. I think I detect a hint of butter and rosemary in this one."

"It's like I'm tasting a whole new world!" Fafnar exclaimed.

"Wow!" Morwyn said in amazement, "You got to tell me the recipe!"

"Sister! Did anyone tell you you'll be an amazing wife?!" Arfau asked.

"Nun." Yuno said casually, "She's a Nun."

Arfau said with a pout, "I know that but still-"

Morwyn soon bonked him on the head, "Don't finish that thought."

"They're so dry yet flaky." Salim commented, "I've never had anything that made me so thirsty before. But it's delicious."

"It is definitely out of this world." Dak said.

"Thank goodness." Sister Lily said relieved.

"It would seem that you're a splendid cook, Miss Lily." Salim said with a smile.

"That's about the only thing we can agree on." Karasu said, "You've got a talent for this kind of thing."

Sister Lily couldn't help but look nervous, "I'm not all that good, really."

"Don't be so modest Sister." Feodora said, "If there's one thing that's always surprised me, it's your cooking. It's better then mine anyway."

"Yeah!" Prism added, "As much as I like being with the Magic Knights, I just can't get your kind of cooking! No offense Karasu."

"None taken." Karasu said with a chuckle, "If you don't mind Sister, would you care to share the recipe so that I can share with my little sister back at our base?"

"Of course." Sister Lily said with a smile.

"Oh? You're a cook too?" Morwyn asked.

"Since I was seven." Karasu replied, "Why do you ask?"

"Maybe one of these days we should have a friendly cook-off." Morwyn said with a smile.

Karasu only gave her a look before he said with the hiss of his teeth, "Yeeeah, that's not gonna happen."
