Chapter 1

Lately, my stash of SNS content has been like, totally drying up~

Hey, hey, you two! Got any good ideas that could blow up?

Hmm~ SNS, huh… I can only think of game streaming.

A video about making the ultimate ramen. —Starting from flour.

From flour!? That’d be, like, a full-on documentary! Raitin would be sooo into it, but…

Then, how about this? It’s something Sonia taught me about the other day.

What’s that…? “Hero Marshmallow”?

Yeah. Apparently, it’s going viral with kids right now. It looks like an ordinary marshmallow at first, but when you heat it up, it transforms into a big one.

I see. It transforms, so that’s where the “Hero” comes from.

OMG that’s perf! Biiig marshmallows are like, totes adorbs!

Well… making them doesn’t look too hard to make, either.

Then we’re totally locked in on this one, right? The Chiitizens are gonna love it too! BTW, what ingredients do we need?

Let’s see… Egg whites, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and… fizz-gelatin powder?

What’s that? Not regular gelatin?

Yeah. Looks like it’s something different.

I don’t really get it, but HAMA House probably has most of the ingredients we need for baking.

Ushio’s already making something in the kitchen, so why don’t we go ask him?

—Nope. Don’t have anything like that.

That got shut down fast.

Fizz-gelatin powder? You mean that weird stuff they invented a little while back and only got approved recently? You heat it, bubbles form, and then it puffs up.

Yesss! That’s the one! I wanna try making this “Hero Marshmallow” with it~! It’s supposed to get suuuper huge!

… What even is that? Some kind of magic trick? A science experiment? If you're not making it to eat, that’s outside my specialty. Ask someone else.

Eh~? Okay, sure, it’s got a liiittle magic to it, but it’s totally legit baking, y’know?

Welp. If you’re not interested, I’ll just do it myself! I’m hitting up the store for ingredients tomorrow and gonna give this Hero Marshmallow a shot ♪
