And though McGillis had not initially planned to do anything much after the letter meeting, he's absolutely keeping word and preparing a nice outing at the animal café. It is very helpful that the fairies around here provide them with good ingrediencies for food. McGillis is not an experienced chef by any means, but he can do the basics and he has purchased salt today. While most of that will be going towards the purpose of preparing for The End, a bit of it can go towards the luxury of eating something that is properly seasoned for once. What could be more romantic than that?

There is also a lot of birdseed to feed the pheasants, because that is an emotional necessity with or without romance. Look at those little friends go!!

Now all that is left is the guest of honor, who gets a knock on his door. ]

I have to say, it is a very different experience to prepare everything myself rather than going to a restaurant or tasking servants. Are you ready?
