As Expected
Just Like, Naturally
adverb
A stream containing stones is like… the most natural thing ever. It's just as expected.
Note that you'll encounter this being written in kana as well, but the meaning is the same.
Unfortunately, the reading for this is a total exception that you'll just have to memorize, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
Just as expected, your sauce gal (さすが) saved the day. The dish you cooked was looking a little bare until your gal poured sauce all over it. It looked a little like a stream flowing over dry rocks when she poured the sauce. Just as you'd expect of your sauce gal.
