"Oh! That's my girl," Marui grins, almost disturbingly proud of this idea for even more sugar in breakfast.

Keita, immediately realizing his error, chimes in, "me too, me tooooooo!"

"Okay, okay." And offers a silent salute to Yukimura in acknowledgment of his request before turning around and--

Shit.

"Ah... Sorry. I didn't buy chocolate chips at the store. Yukiko, check the boxes in my room by the mini-fridge. There might be some in there. Be quick."

Meanwhile, Bunta sprays the pan, finishes mixing together the batter, and scoops a few dollops onto the surface. While they cook, he juggles preparation of whipping cream, strawberries, and banana. When the first batch comes off the heat, one small one goes onto its own plate and the other two are stacked with banana sliced over the top, then served to Yukimura. The end of the banana goes into a small dish and gets mashed with a spoon for Himawari, passed to Yukimura along with silverware for cutting up his and his daughter's cakes.

Keita eyes the pancakes longingly. "Daddy where's mine??"

"Up next, sport. Let's see if your big sister found any chips upstairs."

"Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm so hungryyyyy! They smell good!"

"Almost there."

Another batch goes into the pan while he cuts up another banana, a few strawberries, and finishes whipping the cream.
