"We're here!" Kotaro says through the intercom.

At the Nakano household,

"The last midterm exam's in a few days. Let's study even harder." Fuutarou tells the quintuplets.

"Yes sir." The quintuplets say in unison.

They then proceed to study.

A few hours later,

"I'm getting hungry..." Kotaro says.

"Kotaro, want me to cook for you?" Miku says.

"Ah, it's alright. Don't worry." Kotaro stands up to go to the kitchen.

"I insist."

"O-okay..." Kotaro sits down.

"I'll cook something too!" Nino says.

"I think Miku's cooking is enough. Get back to studying, Nino." Fuutarou replies.

"Do you really trust her in the kitchen? Miku can't cook." Nino whispers to Fuutarou.

"O-okay, you can go too."

A few minutes later, Miku finishes cooking.

"Here you go, fried rice." Miku hands them a plate of the fried rice.

"I'll pass. I'm on a diet!" Ichika winks.

"Hmm... looks decent." Kotaro thought to himself. He then takes a bite.

"Salty!" His mind goes blank.

"I-it's alright..." Kotaro giggles nervously. He then looks at Fuutarou, who finished his plate already.

"It was great." Fuutarou says.

"Miku, how much salt did you put in this?" Yotsuba asks, clearly hesitant to take another bite.

"1/4 cup. Why?" Miku replies.

"Nothing..." Yotsuba drinks all her water.

"Miku, this is too salty!" Itsuki says.

"I-i see..." Miku says, disappointed.

"A-ah, no... don't worry, it's alright!" Itsuki tells Miku.

"Adjust your recipe a bit and it'll be better!" Itsuki smiles.

"Alright..."

Nino, meanwhile, has also finished cooking.

"Here you go, food's served!" Nino hands them a plate of her dish, mapo tofu.

"Woah, it's beautiful..." Kotaro stares at the plate of tofu in front of him. He then takes a bite.

"I see why Yotsuba said you were a great cook..." Kotaro continues eating.

"It's really spicy, but delicious at the same time!" Itsuki says, taking another bite.

"Yeah. It's good." Fuutarou says.

"More, please!" Yotsuba asks for seconds.

"Thank you." Nino bows.

"Here you go, Miku." Nino hands her a plate of tofu.

"Thanks."
