[THIS PLAN CANNOT FAIL.]

We've done one part, that's all we need to do. [Not much else other than pray if they actually believe in it.] Now we just go about our business.

[hoasen]

[And here she thinks he's interested in every aspect of housework. Well, at least he likes to cook, and it shows. Cuisine itself is an art form, and getting it to taste great as well makes it a difficult one to master. And here he is, making something delicious that looks beautiful.]

You even took so much care with each ingredient. I am glad I can eat something that you enjoy making too. [She feels comforted by this already! But he's right, with that many swords, he has no time to make things that require a lot of steps. She takes another sip, and then continues to listen.]

That would explain why he had such interest in everything else. [She took it as him being enthusiastic, but then his suit was definitely a Sign.] Do you enjoy eating Western food? Or even just his food? Despite the conflict of interest?

[reprizesal]

I do like cooking with my brothers...

[Or basically doing anything with his brothers.]

And I usually create things at school. [Like things during art class.]

[sacredstoneslicer]

If it is needed. One has to do what one has to do after all.

[That's packaging he has never seen before. Looks like Imanotsurugi has taken a liking to western sweets. Any other loose wrappers, Ishikirimaru picks up as well.]

Eating too much sweets will make you sick, especially before meals.

[He is technically nagging, but the voice he uses is gentle that it sounds more like a reminder.]

[sacredstoneslicer]

I see.

[What a silly mistake. Though for such a thing to exist is rather impressive, and not even requiring clergy to use too.]

Pleased to meet you, Vietnam. Thank you for teaching me about this.

[sacredstoneslicer]

I would need to know what is in the first place, and who has been affected as a result.

[Scout before purging, that's the common procedure even if he can hit three at once.]

Did something happen?

[sacredstoneslicer]

Ah, this is cute.

[A brown bear to match his brown hair. Ishikirimaru graciously receives it, maybe he'll hold on to it until he can find someone else to pass it to. Maybe one of the tantos.]

Who is mainly in charge of keeping the house clean?

[sacredstoneslicer]

There isn't much that I want, and I have no need for what is in the entertainment district.

[Divine swords don't need earthly attachments.]

A shrine, I see. It might be hard on him to take care of it alone, perhaps I shall lend him an extra pair of hands.

[Have to make sure the gods here are happy.

hello naughty kogis its harae tama-

[yaayaa]

[Wow, is he gonna give it away......Naki nods though, at the cute comment. It's why he bought it!]

We all do our part where we can!...Though Master might be more experienced than we are, in that respect.

[aslyfox]

[ This is not the time for misogi, okay?! ]

Good! You should try to catch him before he leaves for the day. And yes, no one needs what's in the entertainment district! All you need is right here.

[ ... uhhhh don't read into that too much. Anyway, Kogi hands Ishikirimaru the remote. ]

You use this to change channels. There's many of them, so just explore? Don't break it, though. It's not like we can buy a new one every week...

[ ugh yamato ]

[imano]

Yes, yes, Ishikiri nii-chan. This body is pretty small so I should watch what I eat, hu~h?

[ Lies. Absolute lies, he can eat almost as much as Iwatooshi on better days. In fact, he nabs two pears from the kitchen to munch on to make a slightly better point. He offers one to Ishiriki in exchange for the wrappers he missed, though. ]

Haru-san would be happy that you still work hard like usual, though.

[liberalarts]

[ Kasen looks very proud of himself all of the sudden, but he really shouldn't... ]

Why, for our troops' catapults, of course! I read about it in a book about how people conducted war in the West, you know. There was a time where warriors carved messages in their rocks so that the enemy would be hurt twiceover! Once with a rock, and then with words... It's quite elegant, no?

[ no. it's not. ]

[liberalarts]

[ He laughs gently, and Kasen nods deeply. ]

Oh, yes, I can't deny that he's quite a good cook himself! Mitsutada-san's meals are delicious, even if the palate is not always to my tastes... I prefer the flavors in Japanese food, and it always seemed more fitting for Japanese swords to eat as such, but.

[ He pauses to take another bite. ]

We may try more exotic dishes too. Sometimes. [ The type of cuisine they eat probably about half and half, though, so he's mostly teasing. ]

[liberalarts]

[ Kasen's expression at least softens, and after a moment, he nods with a gentler expression. ]

...It is, yes. I wouldn't have guessed it would ever be something I could enjoy.

[ Because he wouldn't have been able to have a physical body to eat food in the first place. He laughs gently, but it's definitely fond. ]

We have quite a bit to thank Haru-dono for.

[adornmental]

[KASEN... But of course Kashuu is hearing this and going "wow, that's a great idea!" rather than being like "that's dumb and you're dumb, sit down".]

Wow, seriously? Y'know, that's not a bad idea... I mean, destroying morale is just as important as taking down the enemy, right? Ahh, but I don't even know the first thing about carving.

[And clearly he can't just crudely etch a message into stone! That would defeat the purpose of delivering an elegant insult...!]

[horsepoop]

We do, don't we?

[Namazuo smiles, too. Of course he means more than just food--Haru's the reason for so many wonderful things in their lives now. Not for the first time, he wonders if they should do more for him than they already do. Maybe he'll talk to Kasen about that later, once everyone's settled in a bit more.

(Hahaha, and then jungle happened. Oops.)]

And thank you for this! I'll come wash the bowl when I'm done, is that alright? [Since this is a good handout and he doesn't want to push his luck by hovering...]

[sacredstoneslicer]

[There is never a bad time for misogi.

Jiiiiiiji]

Thank you. I understand, I will take care of it, do not worry.

[Ishikirimaru is not the type to stab his problems. Cleave maybe, but he's no Yamato.

Plus he is experienced to handling ritual tools, if they broke constantly they would be needing donations by the truckload.]

I suppose it would be a useful device...

[helmsplitter]

About our business, huh?

[he is asking taroutachi about this, like, tonight.]

Alright, then you wanna watch another movie?

[helmsplitter]

[He jerks a thumb toward the freezer.]

A lot. I can't buy 'em all at once, so I just pick some random ones each time. Got vanilla, and the one you're eating now. I think there's another one in there. It was green?

[Mint chocolate chip, but the predominant color was green, thus Green Ice Cream is it's name forever.

Let him show you the world, frosty creamy deliiiicious]

[hoasen]

Yes indeed.

[Firm nod! And Taroutachi sure is going to have a field day with this question. And now the task is done, Vietnam's back to being tired, so--]

I would like to watch another movie, yes. What is next?

[hoasen]

[She rests her spoon against the bowl for a moment as she contemplates this.]

Mmm, I see, so if he tried to cook Japanese food, it would still be fantastic. [He did show a level of expertise with both, so she is guessing he picked up all that Western cuisine more recently.] I guess despite the conflict of interest, it does offer some variety in the Citadel, if you both take turns?

[This is also the moment where she hopes the other swords help with washing up!!]

Aha, sometimes? [The corner of her mouth quirks slightly in curious amusement.] What is the most strangest you have tried so far? In your opinion.

[helmsplitter]

[Doutanuki shrugs and heads back to the couch, searching through all the things he rented online. He randomly chooses one about some future war and starts it up.]

This one, I guess. I just get whatever's in the video store Master showed me.

[hoasen]

[Insert Star Wars joke even though we got Star Wars characters.

She follows after and then sits back down on the couch, waiting for him to start the movie up.]

I see, whatever looks good...oh! I think I saw parts of this one before when it was on the normal channels. It was good from what I observed.

[sacredstoneslicer]

[Not without Nakigitsune or the fox's permission, of course.]

He does seem like he's troubled by his workload at times. We should play our part in making sure he isn't too stressed.

[adornmental]

[Green Ice Cream... That sounds intriguing, and Kashuu will pop over to the freezer to start rummaging around, clearly On The Hunt. GREEN ICE CREAM, LOCATED--]

Ooh, it's some sort of minty thing? They really like mint-flavored stuff here, don't they?

[It seems a popular flavor for both desserts and teeth-cleaning products! How strange.]
