Sometimes, it's the most simple foods that do the best job. While other foods are enjoyable and should be appreciated, there is no reason to shun a traditional meal.

[especially one when prepared with care.

for being a kid from the modern age, though, sometimes you really would think he fell out of the meiji era or something.]

[sharplydressed]

Mm... Just how much of a stickler for rules are you?

[This is going somewhere food-related, miraculously. But for now, Kashuu just throws that question out there without any real explanation...]

[hijirin]

That is dependent on the circumstance.

[so you might want to elaborate, kashuu.]

[sharplydressed]

Weeell, let's say I could take you to the place that hands-down has the best traditional meals you'll ever find anywhere ever, pretty much. But that place is, um... Kind of hard to get to. Exclusive, you know?

[THIS ISN'T GREAT ELABORATION.]

[hijirin]

...Once again, you're being irritatingly vague.

[what does that even mean, kashuu!]

[sharplydressed]

[LOOK, HE'S NOT GOOD AT EXPLAINING THINGS.]

I'm saying that it's so exclusive getting into it might be breaking a few rules. Probably not on your side of things, at least.

[And he breaks rules on his side all the time, as evidenced by his dumb ass being here.]

[hijirin]

Your explanations of just about anything are completely dreadful.

[in case kashuu was unaware of this.]

I'm not sure I'd be willing to comply with such a vague explanation.

[sharplydressed]

Hey! I'm doing my best here.

[The sad part is, that's not entirely untrue. He's just awful... at explaining things... In general, but especially when he's trying to be vague or covert at the same time.]

Baaasically I could get you some great food from two hundred years ago, is what I'm saying.

[hijirin]

So your intent is to break rules of dimensional time and space for a meal.

[of course that's what he points out first, even if his foodie heart (and stomach) are so curious.]

[sharplydressed]

It sounds bad when you put it like that.

[IT IS BAD.]

But the most important part is just to not change anything while you're back there, so as long as you don't go stealing stuff or telling people future secrets, it should be fine!

[hijirin]

It sounds bad because it is bad. I would never dream of interfering with the past, but you shouldn't even be considering it, either!

[didn't you ever see back to the future, bro]

[sharplydressed]

Hey! I don't interfere with the past. That'd be like, against my job description.

[And other various Ominous Things, blah blah, time travel. Time travel. It's complicated and he still doesn't understand much of it, but he at least knows it's safe enough to go back for a meal or to buy something cute, even though that is totally not what time travel is meant to be used for.

IT'S FINE.]

If you don't wanna come, I guess I can just bring something to you...

[hijirin]

I believe by moving through time or dimensions at all, you're already interfering.

[duh???? why are you like this, kashuu. so infuriating!!!

and yet.

he still doesn't seem to be refusing this interesting food? what a punk.]

[sharplydressed]

[HE COULD MAKE THIS SO MUCH EASIER FOR BOTH OF THEM BY JUST AGREEING but no. No, he's gotta scold first. Kashuu frowns, but he is Undeterred™ as usual, at least...]

Look, everything is fine here, right? You don't count since you're already mixed up in weird spirit stuff, but I don't talk to normal humans about this stuff, so it all turns out okay.

[hijirin]

And if you had run into this dimension's version of yourself?

[why is hijiri like this, we just don't know.]

[sharplydressed]

[It's because he's actually the tsukumogami of a wet blanket.]

Then I would've ditched, obviously! Or made up some story. I'm pretty good at those.

[Somehow?! He's better at making up bizarre half-truths than he is at explaining actual full truths...]
