Koharu is from @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”
“Hey kids, want to hear about the time Daddy was trying to cook for Mommy?” Koharu smiles and smoothes her hair.
“Yesssss.” Masanori rubs his hands together. Miki bounces up and down.
“Well, he wanted to make er a birthday surprise. What actually happened was he tried to make melon buns.” Koharu leans forward. “But Mommy got off work early that day. She entered the door and – whoosh! – he was so surprised he spilt the sticky mix right on her.”
She’d then come in to find them taking a shower together, but the kids didn’t need to know that part.
“When he was reaaaaaally young, like your age, Miki, he also tried to cook. He wanted to make ramen for me and him.” Koharu smirks. “But we didn’t have noodles. So I took worms and old him they were noodles, and he served it to our whole family.”
Masanori giggles. “Then what happened?”
“He was the only one who’d taken a bite. Of broth, not even the worms. But he cried, vomited, and ran around screaming for the rest of the night. Oh, I’ve never seen him cry so much or so hard.” Koharu nods as she hears a cough from behind her.
“Why would you tel that story? It’s disgusting!” Ui is properly horrified.
Hairu doubles over with laughter. “Ui, you ate worms?”
“I trusted her!” Ui points desperately at Koharu. His face burns.
“Don’t kiss me tonight,” Hairu says with a wink.
