[Yes yes, start eating first...now she can.]

Aha, slightly more manageable that way? But yes, I suppose to have many is still a good thing. [She can imagine some of the other countries who kept adopting, they would be foaming at the mouth seeing how many spirits here are like family.]

Oh! I have tried Mitsutada's food before, he is very good. Though what do you disagree on? [Although she has a feeling, considering how they are dressed, and how Mitsutada likes to be "cool and stylish."

This is also when she takes her chance to sip the broth--] This is delicious. It's so soothing.

[ The question gets him to pause thoughtfully as he thinks of how he might explain it, but the compliment that follows get Kasen to almost puff up proudly. He does take pride in his cooking, since even though he would say he's not the type of sword to do chores, cooking is different. It's art, so of course Kasen will gladly do that and try to excel. ]

Ah, I'm glad to hear it. Chanko-nabe is always one of my favorites to make for the Citadel, since it is hearty and makes quite a lot.

[ Which is more important, ultimately... Having enough food for the large and hungry swords is a genuine point of concern. ]

Though let's see... Mitsutada-san, well, he's a bit more modern? Or he has at least taken to modern Japan quite a bit more. I'm simply old-fashioned, which makes me a bit of a traditionalist, but— [ He nods ] I cook Japanese food, and Mitsutada-san likes to cook food from anywhere else. Western food is his favorite, though that's likely not hard to guess.

[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?

[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. ]

[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.
