[ Vollmond Town ]

 

Akira: (Mm, something smells good. It’s coming from that food stand… Oh?)

 

Akira: Hello, Mithra. Grabbing a meal here?

Mithra: Yes, I am.

Are you hungry too? The xiaolongbao here is tasty.

Akira: Xiaolongbao… Oh, that must be what you’re eating right now. There’s no better time than the present, so I guess I’ll have some too.

 

Akira: Mithra, do you frequent this stand?

Mithra: I do. It’s convenient. You simply take as much food as you want from the dishes. If you’re looking for the xiaolongbao, they’re over there.

You should be careful when you eat them. There’s a trick to eating this. You use your chopsticks to poke a little hole in the skin—

Akira: ………

Mithra: Why do you look so surprised?

Akira: W-What, do I look surprised? It’s just that the way you use your chopsticks is really elegant. It’s a spellbinding sight…!

Mithra: Well. That boss lady of mine is a nag, and she beat the habit into me, saying that meals and manners maketh man, or something like that.

In the past, I used to eat with just my hands though.

Akira: (How strange. It’s so easy to imagine that in my mind’s eye…)

 

Mithra: More importantly, aren’t you going to eat?

Akira: Oh, right, I forgot about the food. Okay, you take one dumpling from the dish… Time to dig in——

Hot!

 

Mithra: …… Hey, you. Were you even listening to what I told you?

Haha… You remind me of how I used to be back then. Here, you’ve got soup at the corner of your mouth.

 

[ Mithra leans in to wipe Akira’s mouth. ]

 

Akira: (...!? He used… a handkerchief…!)

 

Akira: O-Oh, sorry about that — and thank you!

Mithra: You’re welcome.

Man, you’re such a handful.
