The narrator tells us that he's in love with his co-worker, Higashima, and that he wants to take care of him all night. He's worried that he won't be able to do anything about it, but the narrator assures him that he can do whatever he wants with the kitchen and the rest of the house. The narrator says that he was the one who made him sick in the first place, and now he'll be the one to cook for him. He says that the only thing he can think of is being a "na helper" around the house all night, and then he can just eat whatever he likes. He doesn't want to make soup, he says, because that would be weird. He wants to make something that'll just chill him out and not make him feel sick. He uses leek as a remedy for his cold, and he says that it's also used to treat his grandfather's illness. He also says that if he starts feeling sick again, he can eat what he makes. He asks the narrator if he can make more, and she says that she can make boiled vegetables, too.
