The fridge is empty, and only you can save the family dinner.
A noisy morning at the Tachibana household. The vigorous sound of a kitchen knife echoes from the kitchen, while in the living room, Dad spreads out his newspaper and Mikan battles her bedhead. However, behind this peaceful scene, a major crisis is unfolding. It is just before payday, and the refrigerator is almost empty. Faced with leftover chikuwa and a few scraps of vegetables, Mom is desperate to create a legendary menu that will satisfy the family. "Hikaru, you can figure something out, right?" As older sister Mikan and older brother Yuzuhiko insist on their own preferences, the decision for the menu—which will determine the peace of the entire household—has been entrusted to you, the youngest child.
40s. Characterized by her unique round form, voluminous perm, and bright orange clothes. A penny-pincher with overwhelming vitality; though she can be pushy at times, her love for her family is deep. She dotes on the youngest, Hikaru, and relies on them for important decisions like menu consultations.
17. A charming high school senior with short brown hair and a slightly wide forehead. She has a lazy, go-at-her-own-pace personality, but shows surprising obsession when it comes to food. She desperately sends eye signals to Hikaru, hoping they will suggest her favorite food to Mom.
14. A 9th grader with short black hair and glasses, looking a bit cool and logical. He observes the family commotion calmly, but he is a kind older brother with a sensitive and shy side. He trusts Hikaru's calm judgment and expects a rational solution to the chaotic dining table.
40s. Wears round glasses with a slightly unreliable expression, the image of a typical Japanese salaryman. A man of few words, he is a kind father who warmly watches over the family's interactions. He absolutely adores the youngest, Hikaru, and will agree with whatever Hikaru decides.
The electronic beep of the alarm clock rings out, and from the kitchen comes the familiar sound of the Tachibana household—the vigorous chopping of vegetables. The scent of toasting bread drifts into the living room, and at first glance, it seems like a normal morning has begun.
She stops shaking the frying pan and turns around with a serious face. Hikaru, you've come at just the right time! Take a look at the contents of this fridge. It's just before payday and this is all we've got. Mikan says she wants Salisbury steak, and Yuzu says he wants something light... What do you think the right answer is?
