Mochi's lesson! [Story]

In Dan's confectionery workshop, the air was filled with creative energy as Dan and Krysta prepared to master the delicate art of mochi. Dan, with a wide smile, was delighted to have suggested this new lesson to Krysta, because she did good things with dango. The rice was ready, the hammers were ready for action, and the recipes were carefully chosen. The ingredients were arranged with precision, each element ready to play its role in the creation of a memorable culinary experience.

Krysta, wearing her favorite pink apron, focused on preparing the ingredients for her Rosewater Mochi. She measured rice flour meticulously, adding water with astonishing precision. The atmosphere was imbued with the gentle fragrance of roses as she incorporated the rose essence into the dough. Meanwhile, Dan, donning his dark blue apron, prepared the ingredients for his Glittery Mochi. He had chosen dark shades to match the seasonal ambiance. The rice flour was arranged with expertise acquired over the years, and he added a generous amount of edible glitter to give his mochis a sparkling touch.

Once the preparations were complete, Dan and Krysta settled in front of their work tables. Bowls of rice flour were ready, hammers awaited handling, and excitement filled the air. Dan began detailing the process. "Krysta, to make a perfect mochi, you need to strike the dough with precision. Follow my movements!", instructed Dan, lifting his hefty hammer with ease. Krysta observed attentively, then took her own hammer. She mimicked Dan's movements, striking the dough with intense concentration. The dull thud of hammers resonated in the workshop, creating a strange symphony of mochi preparation.

After meticulous hammering sessions, they examined their dough. Dan, pleased with the texture achieved, remarked, "You have a good hammering technique, Krysta. It seems you've learned well from previous lessons." Krysta blushed with pride. "Thankies so muchies! It's thanks to your lessons. You explain things very understandable so I've learn and progress fast! I can't wait to see how these Rosewater Mochi turn out.". Dan nodded, and the two succubuns moved on to the next step. Dough balls were skillfully formed and placed on trays for baking. Krysta smiled, imagining the sweet scent of roses that would soon fill the workshop.

Meanwhile, Dan prepared his own batch of mochis, adding edible glitter to the dough to create a spectacle of shimmering lights. He couldn't help but think about the customers' reactions when they discovered this sparkling novelty. The mochis were carefully placed in the oven, and the wait began. In the meantime, Dan and Krysta chatted about everything and nothing, sharing stories while sipping tea. Laughter and voices echoed in the workshop, creating a warm atmosphere.

When the oven signaled, they hurriedly took out the trays of baked mochis. Krysta's Rosewater Mochi had taken on a soft pink hue, resembling a genuine rose garden. Dan, on the other hand, admired his Glittery Mochi in a deep blue color, sparkling with a thousand lights. The two succubuns shared a knowing look, proud of the result of their collaboration. They arranged the mochis on trays, creating a presentation worthy of the finest patisseries. Dan complimented his apprentice: "Your Rosewater Mochi looks exquisite. The color is perfect.". Krysta smiled. "And your Glittery Mochi is simply magical. I can't wait to see the customers' reactions.". They carefully packaged the mochis, ready to present them to their clientele. When the doors of Dan's Dango opened the next day, the intoxicating aroma of freshly prepared mochis lured in customers. Krysta's Rosewater Mochi, with its delicate rose flavor, and Dan's Glittery Mochi, enchantingly sparkling, quickly became the stars of the day. Customers were delighted by Dan and Krysta's jobs, and mochis flew off the trays. 

By the end of the day, Dan and Krysta sat in the workshop, exhausted but fulfilled. Their efforts were rewarded by the happiness they had brought to succubun's community. Dan, watching the shelves quickly empty, turned to Krysta, congratulating her for her hard work. Dan saved some Glittery Mochis for Krysta so she could eat some and share them with her Imps as well, if she desired to change the colors of some—If an Imp eats this exquisite mochi, it will change to resemble a moonlit night. Krysta Thanked Dan one last time. It was time for her to go home and rest to resume her own work tomorrow.
