[Action]

[When Izumo finds herself back in the village post-mallynap, the first thing she does is head home--she'll talk to Rin and Shiemi if they're around, but regardless she doesn't wind up staying too long. Why? Because after searching the house, she's come to realize that the fox kit she got for Christmas is missing. Hoping he hadn't been gone for too long or gotten too far, she'll wander the village asking people if they've seen a tiny gray fox in town lately.]

[Later in the day Izumo sits in her room, making sure to keep the fox close now that she's retrieved him--after a lot of searching, she found him with Ran Fan.]

I've had a long day and I don't think going to the library would do me much good anyway, so I'm just going to ask--does anyone know what kinds of foods are best to eat when you can't smell?

[Izumo lets out a sigh, pausing for a minute as the baby fox tries to crawl up her and onto her shoulder...which frankly wouldn't make a very good perch for him.] Get down...

[Grabbing him and placing him in her lap, she returns her focus to her journal.]

...Anyway, before anyone stupid asks? Yes, smell and taste are connected.

Spicy foods, probably. Those kinds of things have flavor even if you can't smell anything.

[bossybrows]

Hmm, of course it would be something like that. Enough people have said just about the same so I guess I'll have to believe you.

[tenminutes]

Sour foods would probably do well too. I guess anything that's got a strong flavor is enough to still taste good even if you can't smell.

[bossybrows]

Well, I'm not sure if it'll taste good but at least it'll taste like something.

[tenminutes]

Make someone who's good at cooking make you something like that, then it'll taste good.

[bossybrows]

Well, at least I live with a good cook.

[tenminutes]

Really? Who?

[bossybrows]

Rin Okumura, why?

[tenminutes]

Damn. I need to find another cook to compete with him so he doesn't make me say creepy things.

[bossybrows]

...What do you mean?

[tenminutes]

He kept telling me that if he had the best yakisoba that I had to tell everyone that we had some kind of weird relationship...

[ Well, friends, but she'd rather attempt to ruin his reputation because of it. ]

[bossybrows]

...Weird relationship? What?

[Rin what are you doing.]

[tenminutes]

Exactly! I need to find a championship yakisoba chef to give him a beatdown.

[bossybrows]

Good luck with that. I'd hate to let him win if he's being a weirdo.

[tenminutes]

Exactly. So you don't know anyone else who's good at cooking? [ She knows Hayate, but Hayate would probably ask for something weird too if he won. ]

[bossybrows]

Not really, but if I find someone I'll send them your way, I guess.

[tenminutes]

Or kindly just smack Rin upside the head without explanation.

[bossybrows]

...Well, that's definitely not out of the question or anything.

[tenminutes]

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

[bossybrows]

Likewise.

By the way, I don't think you gave me your name. If I'm going to refer any cooks I might encounter to you it'd be a good thing to know.

[tenminutes]

Oh! Yuri Nakamura. Just Yuri though, don't bother with formalities.

[bossybrows]

Got it. I'm Izumo, by the way. Izumo Kamiki.

[Also congrats on getting the tsundere to be somewhat friendly.]

[tenminutes]

Oh, I think he actually told me to talk to you once.

[bossybrows]

...Wait, he did? Why?

[Rin what are you even up to around here.]

[tenminutes]

I don't know, I assumed he was just being his normal amount of strange.
