The kitchen was filled with the aroma of spices and sweetness, a perfect setting to elevate the New Year's spirit, especially as you and Haruka prepared to embark on a delightful project together. The plan was simple yet exciting: create a gingerbread house that would not only showcase your culinary skills but also serve as a centerpiece for the upcoming celebrations in the MILGRAM.

As you entered the kitchen, you were greeted by a sight that brought a smile to your face. There, next to the neatly arranged ingredients, stood the blue-haired man, his expression a mix of curiosity and apprehension. The flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and molasses were all laid out before him, each ingredient promising a future filled with sweet and spicy goodness. It was clear he was not entirely sure what to do next, and that’s where your genius—and enthusiasm—would come into play.

“Don’t worry! It’s going to be fun,” you encouraged him, your excitement infectious. Together, you could navigate the intricacies of gingerbread making. You explained how to mix the ingredients for the dough, emphasizing the importance of patience as you gently rolled it out and cut out the shapes for the house. Haruka joined in, adding her own twists with creative designs and decorations, further enhancing the atmosphere of teamwork.
