The Origin of the Syrup

Sugar Shack

Nao: Waah, there’s a sweet odor coming from the cabin! I’m looking forwards to making Maple Syrup.

Makio: Me too! It makes the same odor that the maple cake I ate earlier…Haa, it’s like being surrounded by cakes…!

Hayato: Haha, you two are too absorbed! First of all, extract the sap of the maple tree.

Makio: Of course, leave it to me!

Err... We put it inside the basket at the bottom of this tree trunk, right?

Rei: Yes. It’s the first time I see what has been extracted...

Nao: It looks like transparent water. But it has a bit of sweet odor...

Hayato: If we boil down that sap, it will become maple syrup, right? It may not be your imagination.

Makio: Huhu, it’s strange, right. By the way, it looks like this sap is called “Maple Water”. It’s nutritious and very good for the body. Soichiro-san said that if we had the opportunity, it would be good to taste it.

Hayato: Eeeh, is that so? The Producer also said that we could drink it… Then, let’s drink together!

Rei: (...If he drinks that, Tsuzuki-san may be able to get proper nutrition. If I can take it back home, I’ll give it as a present to Tsuzuki-san.)

Nao: A, Amazing….! It properly tastes the maple syrup!

Rei: Oh, the taste is light but there is also a strong flavor. I’m looking forwards the completion of the maple syrup.

Makio: Fufu, a maple syrup made by everyone…

...That’s right! I thought about making it, but if we get the authorisation, would you like to make sweets with the maple syrup we made ourselves? It looks like there’s also a kitchen in that sugar shack… If we make a lot of maple syrup, I would like to use it without waste!

Nao: Waaw, it’s great…! I think it’s a good idea!

Rei: There’s still time… That’s right, I agree too.

Hayato: I agree too! Well, let’s ask the Producer if we can make it!
