[ Oh, their pile is shrinking... alas. ]

No time like the present. We have a number of things in the kitchen... [ And there's probably something from the last time Sanji was round and cooked something. Did he use cream then? Or berries? Maybe?? ]

And we are enthusiastic about the idea right now, so it's a good time.

[ As if Akira read someone's mind, he raises his voice from the kitchen. ]

We have cream!

[ ............ but does bread pudding cake use cream? Well. Cream can be added to any dessert, right? ]

I guess that's true...

[Oh Akira is calling out. ]

Oh great! [...] Does it need cream?

... I don't know.

[ Guys.

Guy this is going to be GREAT. ]

I thought it was custard...? Perhaps I was incorrect.

[ And now he's calling back: ]

Do we have enough berries?

Yeah!

[ Echoes Akira— ]

We also have chocolate and toffee!

...

Do... berries, chocolate and toffee go together well?

....I have no idea....

[He has a bad feeling about this but...can't ruin their fun....]

[ Elliot you can absolutely ruin their fun, please feel free to look sad at them they'll topple like a house of cards. ]

Well, I mixed he toffee into the fudge already.

[ It's too late now. ]

[never. their happiness is more important than some food]

Welp. Then I guess we'll just have to find out.

[ Once more into battle, friends. ]

Too late now?

Who knows, it might be delicious.

I’m sure it’ll be fine. Chocolate and berries always go well together.

[ At least Akira has portioned the ingredients accordingly. ]

Can you mix the dry ingredients then the wet ingredients?

[Elliot is getting up and heading to the kitchen, poking his head in. He's got his phone with him, where he sure is in the middle of googling the recipe]

Me or Yusuke?

[ Mm. He's not wrong -- white chocolate and raspberries. Dark chocolate and oranges. It can be good. ]

We could mix one each and then put it all together?

Yes, that sounds like a perfect plan.

[ His friends are such smart cookies. What more could he have asked for? The berries won't be mixed in... They'll just be added last as a garnish.

Because Akira isn't sure if gooey bread, gooey chocolate, and gooey berries is good for the mouth. ]

Oh, okay!

[Elliot sure still has misgivings, but whatever. Sometimes it's fun to be a little experimental!]

I'll handle the dry ingredients then. Yusuke you can do the wet.

[It'll be like playing with paints Yusuke, you'll like it. ]

[ BAKERY PAINTING.

HE'S INTO THIS.

And definitely putting the wet ingredients into the bowl and starting to mix it with a look of joy and wonder on his face. Baking. It's art. ]

Teamwork is very important with baking as well, I see.

[ Looks like they got their ingredients together!! Akira is smart enough not to believe they have to add the chocolate and goodies onto the batter just yet, but...

Hm. Once they COMBINE and put it into a tin, he's ???? ]

So bread pudding is somewhat wet... Is it that we soak it after it bakes for a bit? Or is it supposed to naturally be runny?

[ They're going to die. ]

Yeah, teamwork always makes it easier.

[He's in the middle of mixing his own ingredients, not with the same level of joy as Yusuke but he's happy for his friend. He gave him the right task.

But he'll stop to quickly glance at his phone-]

T-Think it should be naturally runny...? Maybe.

The baking part should cook off the excess liquid, shouldn't it?

[ SHOULDN'T... IT...??? ]

If there is too little to begin with, surely it would be too dry and crunchy to be the ideal pudding.

[ Said like he knows literally a damn thing about making a bread pudding. ]

It should.

[ But if he remembers, bread pudding is very moist and soaked? He guesses they're supposed to soak it after it bakes. He's even going to wing the temperature right now. Slow cooking makes it less likely to get dry, right? ]

We can at least not burn it.

[ Low bar. ]

... Should we soak it in milk after?

[ IT WILL TAKE THEM HOURS TO BAKE THIS. ]

Uh....

L-Let's see how baking it goes first, okay? Then we can figure out what to do.

[this is a disaster]

All done mixing Yusuke?

Why would we soak it in milk at all?

[ Hm?

Oh. ]

Yes, I believe this is done. Do we add it all to the same bowl at the same time?

Because it's supposed to be wet...?

[ Isn't that how bread pudding should be? He's squinting as he preps the pan, waiting for them to mix everything together and set it in. ]

Yeah, we're ready as we will ever be, I thin.

A bit at a time, here-

[he brings his bowl over to Yusuke, holding it up and ready to tilt]

Stir it in slowly as I pour okay?
