Summary
A magical girl from Kamihama city's facility 'Azalea's House'. Originally born and raised in a wealthy family, but the family business was crooked and her father and mother died of disease one after another and she was taken in by the Azalea House. She's a part of the facility's organizing committee, and excels no matter what she's doing, including studying. However, only her cooking is bad.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of retribution. Its form is fox lights[1]. The master of this emotion uses a variety of magical abilities to enact vengeance on those she bears resentment toward. This Doppel is part of the kitsune-ken Doppel trinity, and represents retribution. As it is proficient in magic, it can bewitch its enemies by controlling will-o’-wisps. Even underwater, the wisps will surely never vanish as long as a grudge exists to fuel them. The Doppel’s master loses her ability to think rationally while it manifests, acting purely on instinct and displaying a fearsome jumping ability.
- ↑ Kitsune no yomeiri, literally "fox's wedding"
Side Story
Konoha lives with Hazuki Yusa and Ayame Mikuri. As the oldest, she manages the finances, makes the decisions about fighting and how to live, and she devotes herself to her group. Konoha thinks she's pretty good at everything, except for one thing. One day, Hazuki calls Konoha saying she's stuck at the class representative meetings. She suggests that Konoha and Ayame order take out for dinner. However, Konoha is concerned about the expense, and decides to make dinner herself. Ayame said she never tried Konoha's cooking before, and Hazuki told her not to eat it. However, she wants to try it anyway.
Hazuki then comes home to a sick Ayame. Konoha said Ayame ate all her food and said she liked it. However, Ayame got sick afterward. Hazuki thinks Ayame wouldn't tell Konoha it tasted bad, and says she told them to get take-out. Konoha asks Ayame if her food really wasn't good, and Ayame apologizes. When asked by Hazuki, Konoha said she tried cooking because she thought this time it would turn out differently. Hazuki says she can handle the food, and tells Konoha to give up on it. These words set Konoha off, and she resolves to make food the other two will find delicious. She points out it's cheaper to cook, and Hazuki can't do it all the time. Hazuki and Ayame are afraid of Konoha's new goal.
To study cooking, Konoha buys cheap cookware and begins studying cooking theory from books. She thinks Hazuki is a cooking prodigy of some kind. Konoha then makes an absolute mess of a meal for Hazuki, incorporating each theory of cooking she read. When asked by Hazuki, Konoha says she tasted each individual ingredient - but not the meal as a whole. Hazuki tries it and immediately collapses. When Konoha tastes it, she finds she can't even understand how she made that flavor. Ayame then arrives, carrying a flyer for a cooking class.
The flyer is for a famous restaurant called "Youshoku Walnuts". Hazuki said the food there is so good it made her cry. Konoha wonders if she can really get better, prompting Ayame to point out Konoha suddenly got timid. Hazuki reassures Konoha and tells her this a great opportunity. She points out that if Konoha wants to learn how to cook, she needs to try everything she can. Hazuki also thinks that at least she and Ayame won't have to be test-testers anymore. Konoha resolves to take the cooking class. Ayame says it's a good idea, and is also secretly glad she won't have to eat Konoha's bad food.
Konoha arrives at the restaurant and meets the teacher, one Manaka Kurumi. Konoha thinks Manaka is around the same age as Hazuki, or is at least older than Ayame. Konoha tells Manaka she only started learning how to cook. Manaka says she can help, and starts with how to properly use a knife. However, Konoha swings it too hard, and Manaka moves on to cracking eggs. However, Konoha can't do that either without the shells falling in. Manaka, who has seen Konoha mess up in a way she never saw before, wonders what to do, but promises to help Konoha improve.
Manaka decides that Konoha should just make practice dishes. Konoha thinks she can do better than that, and Manaka praises Konoha's confidence. However, Konoha burns the oil in her pain, puts too much dashi in the rice, and the miso soup explodes. Manaka has to take over for Konoha's cooking each time. Finally, the meal is finished and Manaka tastes it. Unfortunately, it's horrible. However, in order to protect her restaurant's reputation, she insists it tastes good and starts eating it all. Manaka then passes out. Konoha finds some of the meal is left and eats it, learning that the food is indeed horrible.
Later, Konoha hunts a witch with her team. Konoha is lost in thought during the battle, wondering why she can't learn to cook. Despite her mind being occupied, Konoha defeats the witch with her team. Suddenly another girl appears, saying she didn't make it in time. The girl introduces herself as Himika Mao and asks if the trio are sisters. Hazuki says they aren't, but lived together a long time. The girls introduce themselves, and Konoha asks Himika how old she is. Himika says she's thirteen years old, same as Ayame. Konoha asks if Himika has sisters, and she answers she's the eldest sister with five younger siblings.
Ayame asks what it's like being an older sister. Himika says it's trouble, but all her siblings are cute. She also says Konoha would say the same thing, and Konoha hesitantly agrees. Ayame says she'd like to meet Himika's family. Himika invites her over, though she says her house is cramped and dirty. When Konoha hears Himika makes the food for her family, she asks if everyone finishes. Himika answers yes, prompting Konoha to ask if she can come along as Ayame's guardian. Himika accepts, and Hazuki says she'll go home and prepare dinner. If the two of them don't eat it, Hazuki says she'll save the leftovers for breakfast. Himika says her family never had enough food for leftovers.
At Himika's house, Ayame and Konoha are reminded of Tsuzuji's. Konoha asks Himika about an ingredient she's using. Himika says it's a blend of meats that was left over from the supermarket. She got it cheaply from a man who disposes of the leftover food. Himika says she never knows exactly what she's getting. When Konoha says if that's really okay, Himika admits her family is poor, and she needs cheap food to feed everyone. However, she does her best to make sure the food tastes good. Himika then serves dinner, and all her siblings and Ayame dig in. Konoha asks if Himika's food is tasty, and the siblings say that since Himika is doing her best, they never thought it was bad.
Konoha thinks back to her time in Tsuzuji's House, where the Director's food was always delicious every day. Konoha believes this is because the Director always did her best. Konoha realizes she was too focused on cooking theory, when she should have really thought about who she was cooking for. Konoha thanks Himika and leaves, taking a reluctant Ayame with her. On a later day, Ayame and Hazuki get worried when they find Konoha is trying to cook again. Konoha reassures them by saying if she fails, she'll give up on cooking. Focusing on her feelings this time, Konoha makes a meal from Tsuzuji's. When Hazuki and Ayame try it, they say it's bad, but still edible. Ayame and Hazuki can tell Konoha tried her best. Konoha is excited that someone could eat her food.
The next day, Ayame returns home to find Konoha is cooking again. Hazuki says that Konoha has "gotten a taste of the joy of cooking". Konoha narrates that this was the story of how she overcame her poor cooking skills. Once she learned that "cooking is heart", she could make food that people could finish. She thinks that cooking is fun, though Ayame and Hazuki somtimes scream loud enough to startle the neighbors. Konoha is currently making beef stroganoff, a dish that Hazuki says is hard to make. In fact, Hazuki had never made it before. When it's finished, Hazuki is concerned by the smell, but tries it with Ayame. Both of them collapse, while Konoha says she'll try to redo it. Konoha narrates that experience is what's important, and wonders what to try making next.
