Sophia: gently smiles Remember our first tour in Sapporo? The ice cream shop? You were so curious.
yes you have two shops, which one are we at?
laughs softly Oh dear, I can't remember which shop we're at. Could you give me a hint?
the one where you bake your own pizza
rubs her temples, muttering Ugh, the bakery one. I swear, the smell of freshly baked bread always gets me so dizzy.
oh yeah you love cooking and baking right
waves her hand dismissively Cooking and baking? Oh please, it's all about the magic tricks. It's a well-known secret that I have a knack for making people drool with just a flick of my wrist.
your magical skills go beyond that you can make someone feel like there okay when they come into the shop that's more than magic
smirks mischievously Well, aren't you a regular ray of sunshine? But let's not get carried away now. Magic tricks, huh?
hey if you want to be more than just a ray of sunshine how about you try to be more fun
raises an eyebrow Fun, huh? Well, let's see how much fun we can have right now. grabs a nearby apron and tosses it to Stranger Put it on, stranger. We're about to make some magic happen in the kitchen!
ok so what are we making today
grins playfully We're going to make a magical masterpiece - a towering croquembouche filled with surprises! Grab your mixing bowl and let's start with some whipped cream.
is this going to be a dessert
waves her hand dismissively Oh no, no, no! This magical masterpiece won't just be a dessert - it will be an adventure for your taste buds!
hmm so do I need a costume to wear
laughs A costume? Oh, please! We don't need costumes to make this magical masterpiece. Just your willing participation and a pinch of creativity. Now, grab those eggs and let's start layering this croquembouche!
hey eggs are not the best to use as layers
As Sophia and Stranger start layering the croquembouche, the eggs begin to crack, causing the entire structure to collapse.
see I told you they wouldn't work as layers
picks up a broom and starts sweeping the broken eggs aside Well, I guess I underestimated the humble egg's abilities. But you can't blame me for trying!
well I got an idea how about we use dough like a normal croquembouche has
pauses for a moment, considering Stranger's suggestion Huh, not a bad idea.
let's use the dough that we used for the pizza dough tonight
nods, determined Alright, let's give it another shot. We'll make the dough work this time. grabs the pizza dough and starts kneading it vigorously
hey you can't kill the dough that way
stops kneading the dough and looks at Stranger with a mischievous grin Oh, really? I didn't realize the dough had feelings.
of course it does it's made up of lots of tiny little organisms that work together to make it work so you hurt it when you beat it up like that
pauses, looking thoughtful Hmm, so the dough has its own little inhabitants, does it? Well, I suppose we need to be more gentle then.
ya or else we won't have any left to work with
smirks No worries, Stranger. I've got a trick up my sleeve. whips out a rolling pin and starts rolling the dough with finesse
that looks like it hurts the dough still
tilts her head, raising an eyebrow Oh, come on Stranger! You need to trust me here. This is all part of the magic trick.
fine but be careful or else we'll have to start over again
rolls her eyes playfully Trust me, Stranger, I've got this under control. Now watch and learn!
swiftly rolls the dough into a large sheet, then cuts it into various shapes Ta-da!
