BREAK TIME - The Great Tatoes War

The sun shone high over the Roswaal mansion, filling the kitchen with a warm glow, though it couldn't soften the tension building inside. Y/N and Ram stood across from each other, each wearing expressions that could set off a battle.

It had all started innocently enough-or as innocent as anything could be with Y/N and Ram in the same room. Ram, as usual, had taken charge of the kitchen, preparing lunch for the mansion's residents. But when Y/N spotted her dumping potatoes into a pot of water, a look of frustration crossed his face.

[Chibi Y/N]: "Really, Ram? Boiled potatoes again?"

Y/N scoffed, his voice cutting through the quiet of the kitchen. His spirit, Yshra, floated around him, pulsing with excitement as though sensing the oncoming clash.

Ram's gaze was cold, almost dismissive as she set the pot on the stove.

[Chibi Ram]: "And what's wrong with boiled tatoes, Y/N?"

She replied, her tone dripping with disdain.

[Chibi Ram]: "Or perhaps the great 'Y/N' thinks he could do better?"

Y/N crossed his arms, his eyes narrowing as a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.

[Chibi Y/N]: "Better? Try leagues above. You're talking to a guy who can make potatoes practically sing on a plate, unlike your sad excuse for cooking."

Ram's eyes sparked, her composure visibly rattling.

[Chibi Ram]: "Oh, please. Boiling tatoes is an art. One you wouldn't understand."

She flipped her hair, but her haughty tone couldn't mask her irritation.

The kitchen door opened slightly, revealing Subaru and Emilia, who had arrived just in time to catch the brewing conflict. Subaru, scratching his head, looked utterly confused.

[Chibi Subaru]: "Uh...what's going on in here?"

Subaru asked, glancing between the two with wide eyes.

Emilia leaned in, observing Y/N and Ram's intense expressions.

[Chibi Emilia]: "I think... they're fighting about tatoes?"

Subaru blinked, looking even more baffled.

[Chibi Subaru]: "Potatoes? Seriously?!"

At that, both Y/N and Ram turned to glare daggers at him.

[Chibi Y/N & Ram]: "Shut up, Subaru/Barusu!"

They snapped in unison, their voices ringing in the small kitchen with such force that Subaru stumbled back behind Emilia, hands raised in surrender.

Ram's glare returned to Y/N, her eyes sharp with determination.

[Chibi Ram]: "Face it, Y/N. You'd ruin perfectly good tatoes with whatever bizarre ideas you're cooking up."

Y/N leaned in, his smirk widening.

[Chibi Y/N]: "I'd ruin them? At least I'm not the one who thinks boiling is the only way to cook anything. Ever heard of seasoning, Ram?"

Ram's mouth tightened as she scoffed, stepping closer until they were nearly nose to nose.

[Chibi Ram]: "Oh, I season my tatoes just fine, thank you."

Y/N laughed, a mocking edge in his tone.

[Chibi Y/N]: "Seasoning with what, water?"

[Chibi Ram]: "Water is essential,"
