[Kaoru seems quite pleased by that, at least! The rest of the world can keep their fancy dime-sized filets and their $100 sauces okay, this punk is perfectly happy to just have sakura mochi.]

Then please allow me to extend an offer as well, since it wouldn't be fair for you to be so kind to me without some kindness in return. [A THOUGHTFUL PAUSE hmmm, what to offer, what to offer...]

There isn't much that I'm very good at, but I can mend clothing or arrange flowers, if you ever have a use for either of those things.
