Okay.
Well done, My Melody!
You're skillful as ever today.
Hmm?
Aloha!
Plus, our new dessert is shaping up to be a hit.
I can't wait for the sweets contest!
First place, here we come!
Mm, maaa!
Piano, that meringue is looking great!
Maa, maaa!
Whoa!
Maa.
Piano! What in the world are we supposed to do with all of this meringue?
Hmm.
Clouds!
Huh?
- What about cupcakes shaped like clouds? - Clouds?
We can bake the meringue in the shape of a cloud.
That way, when people eat it,
they'll enjoy both its light texture and fluffy visual.
That's it! What a genius idea.
Not the most original.
Um…
I know! Let's ask someone for notes.
Ask who?
Hmm…
So…
You wanna work for my sweets shop, do ya?
You guys certainly have good taste.
Well, we were looking for a new job.
And we're willing to eat whatever you got.
All I ask of you is for your complete obedience
and that sweets contest is ours!
Are you ready Tanba? Sasage?
That's a crazy amount of filling.
Uh, don't you think the weight of the rice dumpling
will split the dorayaki's bun?
Yeah, I guess, but I just wanted to combine two of my favorite things.
So… next! Pickled onion gelatin-bowls!
Too sweet and too sour?
Just the thought makes me nauseous.
Oh, really?
Again, I just wanted to combine two of my favorites.
Okay, next.
Pickled onion kebabs!
What?
You're kidding?
Who says onions can't be a dessert?
They're just so cute and…
Hmm!
Look! See? They're easy to make!
Okay, now she's giving up.
'Cause you two keep rejecting my ideas!
- Yeah, but— - Yeah, but what?
You say they're impossible without giving it any thought.
If you're not willing to work together with me, then just get out!
Hmm…
Hey, how about this?
We roll a rice cake very thin and sandwich it between a dorayaki.
We could even mix in some chopped pickled onions!
Yeah. And if you stamped the Kuromi logo on top,
it would be so cute!
Hmm…
I think that idea…
sounds super great!
Now that we have a plan, let's get to work.
I'll chop the onions.
Oh, that's too dangerous. Let me.
Then, I'll knead the dough.
You gotta be strong for that. I'm on it.
- Then, what do I do? - How about…
Sorta feels like you guys think I'm bad at cooking or something.
Huh?
Oh, no, it's not like that—
Ta-da! My special onion cakes.
Come on, try it!
Behold my cooking skills!
Are you crying 'cause it's so delicious?
- Yep… - Another satisfied customer!
- Oh? - Hmm?
A palate cleanser!
It's a work of genius!
"Dear Kuromi. Please give me your opinion."
"Thanks a bunch."
Who does she think she is?
Hey! Why are you eating that instead of my onion cakes?
I'm sorry!
That was yummy. I wanna eat 500 more.
And you didn't even share! It's like an onion festival in my mouth.
Welcome.
Hello. Are you the store's new clerks?
That's right. The two of us are working here part-time.
- I'm Tanba… - And I'm Sasage. Nice to meet you.
Good for Kuromi.
Her shop finally has a full staff.
Oh wait, that reminds me.
We actually just sent a cake here to get her feedback.
That cake was genius!
- Sorry I'm late! - Oh!
What took you so long, My Melody?
I thought I should make some for everyone else.
Wow, looks yummy!
- Wow! - Oh my! Who could this be from?
Hello again. It's been a while.
I can't believe those guys!
How dare they praise My Melody's sweets right in front of me?
Those two have some nerve!
I want someone to call me a genius. Huh?
I just love a nice bubble bath.
Wanna join me? It's relaxing.
If you're scared, you can sit right here on my head.
Mr. Heart,
I wonder, did you already know about me before we met?
And why did you take me away with you to the Cloud Kingdom?
I'm doing the right thing by entering our cake shop in this contest,
don't you think?
Yep!
Good night, Mr. Heart.
Our target is the recipe.
Now, you better not run away or betray me.
Now, time to infiltrate. Hmm.
Oh. Can't they even tidy things up a little?
What's wrong with you?
You're getting too close. Stay back!
Shh! Like a Ninja, remember?
- Darn it! - Huh?
That devious My Melody,
leaving it here with such an elaborate trick!
Huh?
What are you doing?
We found the recipe, so let's get outta here!
You, catch!
Huh?
Ah!
Huh?
Ninja! Ninja!
Cupcake!
Okay, time for a big sleep.
Mission accomplished, boys!
And now, let's see what kind of recipe My Melody's been hiding from us.
- Huh? - Hmm?
"Aloha."
"For now, just saying this word is all I can do."
"To our miraculous encounter, Moon Night Hibiscus"?
- Huh? - What's this?
A poem?
After all that trouble?
A silly poem like this isn't valuable at all!
So, the secret ingredient is Moon Night Hibiscus?
No way. It's just a poem.
What the heck is Moon Night Hibiscus anyway?
Huh?
Piano, I'm sorry! Sorry.
- I'm getting out of here! - Don't leave without me!
Hey? Hey, Tanba?
P… please, let's stop playing Ninja already.
Oh?
May I have a teensy, tiny bite?
Well, guess that's a yes.
Oh, Mr. Heart, where did you get so good at making sweets?
"Aloha. For now, just saying this word is all I can do."
That cursed poem is still stuck in my head.
Whatever I try, it never goes well.
Why are you still here?
I have something important to tell you.
No! I don't want to hear another word!
The secret of their popularity wasn't the recipe!
Huh?
I just found this post.
MY MELODY IS CHEATING
If her store's out of business, she can't win the contest.
Huh?
Oh!
"To our miraculous encounter, Moon Night Hibiscus."
That's how we do
We rise and dance, dance, dance
'Cause you know 24-7 I gotcha
