Script
Bakery
You: Wow... This cake is yummy!
You: It's sweet, but not too sugary. There's a special flavor, and its texture is different from other cakes.
Artem: I heard that the cake here is made with the owner's exclusive recipe, so the taste is unique.
You: No wonder business is so good.
You took Artem to a famous local cake shop in Eversea to try some desserts.
As you're preparing to eat the second slice, a middle-aged woman approaches your table.
???: Excuse me, is this your first time here?
You: Yes... and you are?
Boss Lady: Forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm the shop owner.
You: (The shop owner!? That means the cake was made with her recipe...)
Boss Lady: We're currently holding an event at the shop...
Boss Lady: Every new customer at a table has a chance to guess the recipe for any of the cakes in the shop.
Boss Lady: If you can name one of the special ingredients or preparation techniques...
Boss Lady: Your table will get a free meal, along with a cake of a new flavor.
You: A free meal... and a free cake?
Boss Lady: Yes, if you can guess correctly, your meal today will be on the house.
Boss Lady: As for the cake, you're free to take it with you to go.
Boss Lady: But just in case a customer knows the answer and then tells someone else...
Boss Lady: After each cake has been guessed, you can no longer guess the ingredients or preparation techniques for that cake.
Boss Lady: Would you two like to give it a try?
You: (A free meal and a cake... the challenge rewards are tempting, that's for sure.)
You: (With Artem's culinary talents, he might be able to guess it...)
You look over curiously at Artem, and he nods at you.
Artem: I'll give it a try.
Boss Lady: Great, I'll prepare the cakes.
The owner brings over cakes of different flavors, lining them up on the table.
Artem picks up the spoon and tastes each cake before frowning a bit.
Artem: ...
You: (Is he... unable to figure it out from taste?)
For some reason, you are inexplicably nervous over this small event.
After a while, Artem's eyebrows relax, and a faint smile forms on his lips.
Artem: I think... a dash of crumbled walnut was added to this green apple Basque cake.
Artem: That's what gives it its unique taste and flavor.
Boss Lady: !!!
Boss Lady: Amazing. You're the first guest to guess the ingredient after just one bite.
You: (He was right!)
Boss Lady: It's an honor to present you with a cake.
Boss Lady: Please wait a moment while I prepare a cake in the kitchen.
After the owner leaves, Artem smiles while taking your hand.
Artem: How did I do?
You: You're amazing! You knew the answer after just one bite!
You: That's the owner's exclusive recipe!
Artem: Because... I didn't want to let you down.
