8th Meal Served [Action]

[yuzuru_no_mai]

[There's a bit of commotion on Taylor Road. Iroha's been working in the garden, doing just about everything in her power to landscape properly. Now the front yard is starting to look like a proper yard, complete with bushes, flower beds, and trimmed trees.

Don't be surprised if you see her running to the backyard, where she's planning to put in a vegetable garden]

Good. Men need to know how to fight, as I have faced many of them in battle.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Really?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

*She nods happily*

The men I faced were great warriors from all over Japan. I've even met some from far away places such as Europe and the new country.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Wow! You must be really strong, then! Kinda reminds me of someone I know at home...

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

I do my best!

Do you have fighting tournaments where you're from?

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Tournaments? Yeah, I guess so, for sport and stuff like that. I was never in any of the martial arts clubs at school or anything, though.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Only for sport? I see...

*Iroha blushes and thinks about her home for a bit*

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Yeah... what were they like in your world?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

They are mostly samurai, but I met a couple of ninjas as well as knights from the west.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Wow... really? That actually sounds really cool! I know a ninja back home, too!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

You do? *She brightens up*

They are formidable fighters!

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kirino's really strong... and she's got a beautiful singing voice, too.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

She's a singer too?

I do not know any singers. I do know a few warriors who are also actors.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, she's really talented! She plays the shamisen, too. Kirino loves singing more than anything... even more than fighting, which is saying a lot."

[He laughs a little at that, smiling somewhat distantly as he remembers his friend.]

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

It sounds like you have good friends back home.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're pretty great. They like me for who I am, faults and all... y'know?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Those are the best kinds of friends!

I am not sure, but I think I made a few friends where I'm from.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

You think...?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

It is only recently that I have ventured outside of my master's home. Meeting hu- I mean other people is still strange to me.

But I am enjoying it.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Wow... so you've had a pretty sheltered life before you came here, then, huh?

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

You could say that, yes.

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Is there anything you still don't understand? I can probably help you out!

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Ah... I do not know how to describe it... But there are so many things I have never seen before. The kitchen is still overwhelming even though I can handle it. Same with gardening...

But, there are items that are said to be used for housecleaning. Hachibe-san, what is a "vacuum?"

[pygmalion-perv.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's for cleaning up crumbs of food and small pieces of trash from the floor. It sucks in air really quickly and picks it up from the carpet so you don't have to walk around picking it all up by hand.

[lovely-crane.livejournal.com]

Oh! I am new to cleaning carpet, so this is a great help to me!
