Interlude 3 - Illya Cooking

Arturia had just finished taking a bath, after she had finished practicing her swordsmanship at the dojo. At first she didn't intend to take a shower, but because she feel very hungry after the training and want to have a breakfast in the kitchen.

But after she smelled her terrible body odor, Arturia decided to take a shower. She would feel very embarrassed if Shirou smelled her bad body odor.

After that she rushed to the kitchen to have a breakfast, in the kitchen Arturia saw Illya and her twin sister Chloe were fighting about who would make the best cake for Shirou. But Arturia didn't care about that, the most important thing for her was a delicious food to fill her hungry stomach.

And it just so happened that today Shirou who made the breakfast! Shirou's cooking has always been her favorite. She likes the food made by Sella, the maid of the Emiya family. But still for Arturia the food Shirou made was the most delicious! Arturia quickly sat down in her chair in front of the dining table with sparkling eyes and her mouth is drooling and then she shouted to Shirou:

"Shirou food!"

Shirou sighed when he saw Arturia already sitting in front of the dining table, if he the one who made the food Arturia's was always the fastest to sit at the dining table. Shirou didn't want to make Arturia go berserk because the food was not prepared quickly, Shirou then served the Nikujaga he had made to Arturia. And quickly Arturia ate the Nikujaga he made with a gusto. And in just only 30 seconds, the Nikujaga in the bowl was gone.

Again Arturia shouted:

"Shirou! More!" Arturia, handed over her empty bowl to Shirou to add to the Nikujaga she had just finished. For Arturia one bowl was not enough to satisfy her. That's why She asked Shirou for more.

Knowing Arturia's extraordinary appetite, Shirou had prepared a pot full of Nikujaga special for Arturia only. Shirou took the empty bowl from Arturia's hand and refilled it with warm rice and Nikujaga.

Seeing Arturia's incredible eating speed, made Asia who was sitting next to Arturia gawk. Asia did not think that Arturia, who have a tiny body, could eat a large amount of food.

Likewise with Illya and Kuro, they were shocked at how much food Arturia had eaten.

Sella, who already knew about Arturia's appetite, was silent and sighed just like Shirou. Although previously She was also shocked when Arturia finished all the food she made for dinner a few days earlier.

Lizz reacted flatly as usual and didn't really care about Arturia's appetite.

Meanwhile, Irisviel thought Arturia, who ate in large quantities, was very cute, to the point that Shirou and Sella had to hold her body. To make her not suddenly hugging Arturia, who was still eating.

Once again, a peaceful breakfast filled with a bit of oddity passed at Emiya's residence.

Kuoh Gakuen, Elementary school section.

In the Home Economic lesson of Illya and Kuro class.

In her cooking group Illya have, Tatsuko the idiot, Suzuka the bl mangaka, and Nanaki the laziest girl in her class. A very bad combo for her to make a good cookies.

But her twin sister Kuro, more lucky than her. In her group Kuro have Miyu and Mimi who great at cook.

"This group division is really isn't fair," Illya said. "Why you can have Miyu and Mimi who really good at cooking in your group, while I only have a bunch weirdos in my group!"

"Hey we are not weirdos!" Suzuka said.

"I'm not weirdos, I just lazy!" Nanaki said. "The only weirdos in our group is Tatsuko!"

"Ahahaha you're right! I'm the weirdos!" Tatsuko said.

"The group division is fair I think," Kuro said. "This division is not the result of a strict rock, paper and scissors games beside you have more people in your group."

"All of you head up!" Taiga said. "Ok, then each of team start cooking!"

"Ckk," Illya feel really angry, because the member of her group cooking skill is ordinary, while the two member of Kuro group is have a great skill at cooking. "We can't help it, even though there is a difference in cooking skill. We have no choice but to go for it!"

"I don't know why it turned out like this, but we don't want to lose to Kuro, right?" Suzuka said.

"You can count on us!" Nanaki said.

"Does all of you have confidence in your own cooking?" Illya asked.

"No, my cooking skill in ordinary," Nanaki answered. "And I'm only interested in eating!"

"Don't feel proud about it!" Illya shouted.

"My cooking skill same as Nanaki," Suzuka said. "But my art skill make the food look better!"

"The food is not only about it look Suzuka!" Illya said.

"Quick, lets make the hamburger!" Tatsuko said.

"Tatsuko we didn't make a hamburger!" Illya said.

"Tatsuko really didn't understand what we must to make," Nanaki said.

"When it comes to make a sweet the quantity is the key," Suzuka said while drop the flour in the scales. "Because almost everyone can make a sweet just by following the recipe."

"Well that's true," Illya said. "If we follow the recipe with passion, the sweet we made will taste good."

"There, just the right amount! And now we use the filter to.."

Suzuka then put the flour to the filter, and shake it off slowly.

But she didn't have the passion to follow the procedure and then..

"Uh, this procedure is really abbreviated, right!"

"You said it before the procedure has to be followed right!" Illya said.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Next in the procedure is, ah we must to blend the butter," Illya blend the flour with butter using a whisk and the she put the sugar to the batter. "Once the butter became creamy, throw in the sugar."

When Illya put the sugar to the batter, Tatsuko the idiot mix something else to the batter. And Illya who saw that then shouted:

"Tatsuko what did you just put in here!?"

"You idiot what are you doing!" Suzuka and Nanaki punch Tatsuko. They really didn't expect that Tatsuko would mixing something to the batter.

"Hey idiot quikly tell us what did you just put into the batter!" Suzuka said while shaking Tatsuko body.

"Nu-Nutmeg, one of hamburger ingredients," Tatsuko mouth is foaming, because Suzuka shakimg her body too much.

"Crap, she still think we would made a hamburger," Nanaki said.

"Shit! Let's just wrap her, so she won't meddling again with the cooking!" Suzuka then wrap Tatsuko body with a wrapping plastic and toss her to corner of the room.

"What will we going to do now Illya?" Nanaki Asked.

"Yeah, nutmeg is spice that use in a meat dish," Suzuka said. "With that inside the batter our dish will taste terrible!"

"Uuh, if we made the batter from the beginning there is no time," Illya said. "And all the ingredients already used."

"Ohohohoho, how poor of you Illya!" kuro said in Luvia style. "A Nutmeg in pound cake? It seems you put a ridiculous taste in your cake, isn't that great?"

"Don't mock me Kuro!" Illya said. "What about yours!"

"Hmm, what about mine, you say," Kuro said. "It's something like this maybe."

Kuro showing her group work to Illya and then...

"A wedding cake!" Illya, Nanaki, and Suzuka jaw is dropped. They didn't expect there is someone who made a wedding cake in Home Economics lesson.

Kuro showed a wedding cake that made by Miyu, and Miyu made the wedding cake with the left over ingredient from their group.

"This isn't finish," Miyu said with a flat expression. "The ingredient is not enough."

"Don't make something shocking like this in my lesson!" Taiga said when she saw the wedding cake. "Doing that is very selfish!"

"By the way Mimi is the one who made the pound cake alone," Kuro said. "She is very good at it!"

"Th-thank you very much," Mimi said while holding the cake she made.

"You didn't do anything Kuro!" Illya said. "You left everything to Miyu and Mimi!"

"Hey! I help them a little!" Kuro said. "Which cake Onii-chan will like, we'll just have to wait and see!"

Illya feel very angry at the moment, but she can do anything right now.

"Illya we just to make our cake more delicious than their cake," Suzuka said.

"Suzuka is right let's made a delicious pound cake!" Nanaki said.

"Yeah, you two is right!" Illya said with a fire in her eyes. "Let's made the most delicious pound cake!"

But when they try to made a delicious pound cake, once again Tatsuko the idiot put something to the pound cake batter in Illya hand.

They feel surprised once again because what Tatsuko do.

"Tatsuko what the hell did you put in here again!?" Illya shouted.

"A frisk!" Tatsuko said. "To add mint flavour."

Suzuka and Nanaki hit Tatsuko to the floor this time, and make sure to made her fainted once for all.

"Once again she made a tragedy for us," Suzuka said.

"Why we must to be in one group with an idiot like Tatsuko!" Nanaki said.

In the end when the time is up, Illya and her group can only a pound cake with a strange flavour.

Meanwhile in Highschool section Shirou really a very bad feeling that a bad omen will descend to him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Emiya residence after school.

"Hmm these are nicely done, aren't they?" Shirou said after he see the the pound cake that Illya and Kuro made. "This is baked just right, you made it good for your first try."

"Hehehehe," Kuro said while blushing.

"Ah haha," Illya said with a mixed feeling.

"Well Onii-chan, if one of our cookies is not good. I hope you would not feel bad to us," Illya said.

Shirou feel confused by Illya word, but he didn't mind it too much.

"Onii-chan which one do you feel more tastier," Kuro said. "Judge it fairly ok, whoever win get a kiss from you."

"Judge it fairly, huh. Rest assured Kuro," Shirou said with a serious face. "I can't tell a lie about cooking!"

"Woow Onii-chan unnecessarily serious face is so cool!" Illya and Kuro said with a blushing.

"First Kuro," Shirou said. "Your cake is good and I can tell every single process to made this cake is made in order, the person who eat it can taste the feeling that went into it. But I can feel the taste is for somebody other than me, the taste is sweeter than average it taste for somebody younger than me. It like a snack for little brother from older sister, am I right?"

"Onii-chan word really straight!" Kuro said. "That's right I not the one who made it. My pound cake is made by Mimi for her little brother."

"Sigh you can say it from the beginning Kuro, I wouldn't mad," Shirou said.

"Ehehehe sorry Onii-chan," Kuro said.

"And Illya your cake taste is very bad," Shirou said. "And I think you add the frisk to the cake really weird."

Illya feel really depressed because of that, she know that her cake taste is very bad.

"Ah, my bad I went too far!" Shirou feel bad making his little sister became depressed. "But my jugde is not the true point Illya, are you remember the food I made for you 7 years ago?"

Illya then remember the Nikujaga that Shirou made for her, the taste is bad but Illya can feel the love Shirou pouring into the food.

"Yeah, I remember it," Illya said.

"Cooking is love, that often said," Shirou said. "I can feel your love in the pound cake that you made for me."

Shirou give a kiss to Illya forehead making her body became so hot. And then she fainted.

"Onii!"

Before Kuro can finish her word, Sella hit Shirou head with a Vacuum cleaner.

"You siscon and lolicon!" Sella said. "I knew it you will try to put your fang to Illya-san you pervert!"

After that Shirou need a lot of time to clear his name and explain the truth to Sella. And about Illya pound cake, weirdly when Arturia eat it. She said the cake is really delicious and have and odd flavour inside it that make the cake is enjoyable to eat.

And in the end of the day when before he go to sleep, Shirou shouted his usual cathphrase when he got a bad luck.

"Damn! My E rank Luck!"

And just like that his luck is not that good as always.
