We'll now start making our chocolates. Please feel free to ask the staff if you ever need any help.


Staff
In addition, the staff here have experience working as patisseries, so you'll have their full support.


Staff
We'll be going around to each table in order shortly. Again, please feel free to ask us any questions.

Akito
The recipe says all you have to do is break up the chocolate, melt it and put them into trays. See...?

*Page Flipping*
Akito
Yeah, I thought about that... But you know the way chocolate truffles melt in your mouth? I sorta still want them to do that from start to finish.

*Footsteps*

Staff
Do you have a question? Is there anything I can help you with?


Staff
I see. A way to spice up chocolate truffles...

Akito
Yes. Is there a way to make them more interesting, or at the very least, have a lighter aftertaste?


Staff
In that case, orange zest is a fairly standard option.


Staff
They go great with chocolate because of that hint of sourness and bitterness they bring to the table. Not only that, they add a nice visual accent.


Staff
By mixing in some orange zest to your molten chocolate, they should provide a nice mix of flavor and fragrance when you put them in your mouth.


Staff
However, if orange zest proves to be a little too chunky or coarse, orange liqueur can be used instead to keep your truffles smooth.


Staff
Happy to help. I'll go fetch some orange liqueur right away.

*Footsteps*
Mizuki
I'm gonna make chocolates in all sorts of shapes, sizes and flavors. Some can be white, while other bitter. My plan's to change up what I do as I do bit by bit.


Staff
Thank you for your patience. Here's the orange liqueur. I've also written down some examples of how much you should be using.

Kohane
Wow! These are from "Bear Stamp Honey Cookies", right? The place where a bear supposedly makes all the cookies!

Toya
Yes, the bear plushies and other cute decorations gave it a nice, feminine touch, but it was a bit crowded.

Toya
Why? The dining area had a long line, but I was able to get these cookies in fairly short order.

Kohane
Me too! Especially since I've been meaning to go to this shop for a while now! Thank you so much, Aoyagi!

Toya
I've already heard most of this story, but I'd also like to hear more about what happened when you performed alongside Tsukasa.


Chocota
"*Sob* *Cry*"

Choco Maniac
"Let's start making some chocolates... Is what I'd like to say, but I only eat them! I have no idea how to actually make them!"

Choco Maniac
"Some help would be much appreciated... You there! Why don't you help me make your idea a reality?!"
Akito
After that, Akiyama helped Tsukasa make some chocolates while I took Chocota to the green room.

Akito
"It looks like Chocota's tuckered himself out from crying a little too much, so why don't we give him some time to rest?"
Toya
I agree. I noticed the same thing when we were a part of that flash mob. Your versatility seemingly knows no bounds.

An
I was only able to put everything together after Mizuki told me the rest today. Understandably, you guys had to keep everything a secret.

Akito
I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from a former A-list idol, unlike a certain someone who can't stop giggling.
