I'm glad that the main character can stand up for herself, and thank God she's sure-footed. I'll never forgive Yumeiro Patissiere for giving us a chef that's clumsy. I mean, my sister is clumsy and accident prone, and she's a great cook, don't get me wrong. But, my sister being accident prone also contributes to her getting burned in the kitchen, dropping things, getting nasty cuts, etc. My sister didn't use an electric can opener for the longest time, because it gave her a nasty cut. So when I was basically her 'assistant chef' in the kitchen, she'd have me operate it.
I just don't see how an accident prone person would make a career out of being a chef. It's like being a super clumsy basketball or soccer player.
