I'm going in!

Ohh! There really was food here!

How is the taste——

Wow, it's tasty!

So good!

Awawa.

Ah, I'm so happy I got to eat!

I better go home and finish taking care of my babies!

Hmm...

Just now, wasn't Little Cub's tummy rumbling?

Is she hungry because she gave her cookie to me?

Poor Little Cub...

Vulcan says that when people help you, you should pay it back double or triple or whatever's even more than those, I forgot! Fourple?

Anyway, Little Cub gave me a small cookie, so I should give her a really really really——big cookie.

Okay, I'll make it as soon as Vulcan gets back!

Now I need to go home and finish up my work.

Ceobe's Room

Hm...

Hmm...

Weapons are done.

The covers for the weapons and the bag are clean.

Just one last thing left.

Vulcan, please hurry back, so Little Cub won't be hungry anymore...

Who's there?

It's me.

Ah, Vulcan! I'll get the door!

You came back really early today.

Work went nice and smooth today, finished quick.

Can you let me see your maintenance work?

Okay, okay!

I just finished, the weapons are all neat on the table!

Great, I'll have a look.

(I did it just like the pictures  .)

(I have to believe in myself!)

(I know I did it right!)

H-How is it?

The oil is applied very evenly.

(Vulcan lifts the weapon and sniffs it)

The right oils, too.

Oh?

You cleaned the sheaths?

Yup!

Good.

You did a good job.

Thanks, Vulcan!

Ehehe.

I'm going back to the workshop. Do you want to come along?

Mm!

Vulcan's Workshop

This is a good batch of material here.

Hope I can make something satisfying out of it.

(Go on, say it, say it! Little Cub is still starving!)

(B-But, I'm a little nervous...)

What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?

Oh, umm, well...

Yes.

Can you teach me how to make a big cookie?!

Oh? You want to make your own food, finally?

Y-Yeah!

Please, teach me quickly! Little Cub is gonna starve to death soon!

Little Cub... you mean... Gummy?

Ah, uhh, yeah!

Noon... Yeah, noon! I saw Little Cub at noon!

She gave me a really tasty cookie! So I want to give Little Cub an even bigger, even tastier one! But, I don't know how to make a cookie, and I don't know where Little Cub lives either, I-I——

So I, uhh, I——

I understand.

Vulcan, I——

You'll twist your tongue in a knot if you keep talking.

Sorry... I-I'm in a bit of a hurry...

Mm, alright.

Now, listen to me.

Alright...

I know where she lives.

I'll teach you how to make the treat, then bring you there.

Really?!

I'm always willing to teach if you're willing to learn.

I want to learn!

I happen to have some fermented dough here. Let's make a huge cookie, okay?

Okay!

How big do you want it to be?

The bigger the better!

Alright.

Help me clear the workspace. I'll get the fire going.

Got it!

Preparations are just about done.

Did you wash your hands, Kay?

Yup!

Wow, what's this?

Dough.

What should I do?

Simple, just knead the dough.

Just try it and see. I'll let you know if you're doing it wrong.

Kneading the dough...

Like this?

Yes, continue.

Don't be afraid to crush it, put some force into it.

Knead it for a few more minutes.

Alright, that should be enough. Spread it on the board.

Cut it in half with the knife.
