tell me all about your trip, what was your favorite thing you did, what's something neat you didn't expect, did you eat anything cool did you buy any souvenirs

Aaaaaaah thanks for asking! It's hard to answer so I've been thinking on it for a bit lol

My favorite thing I did:

Genuinely I don't know! I'm inclined to answer Ishinomaki/Tashirojima (Cat Island) though, mostly because of how off-the-beaten-path it was.

For some reference, most people who visit Japan for the first time (while technically it wasn't my first, it was my first as a tourist so I planned it like a first-timer) stick to a relatively small area: Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, etc, sometimes heading to Hiroshima.

[not that I think you personally need a geography lesson Kas but just in case someone reading this might]

But this place was up in Tōhoku (inside the red heart on the map) so it didn't have that touristy feel.. which isn't a bad thing to have but I thought it was neat to get away from that for a bit.

But yeah! In addition to that incredible hotel I mentioned in my other post (Tama Hotel in Ishinomaki), the city was really chill and the island was gorgeous. It had this whole "old declining fishing village vibe" to it which was so interesting. Plus the views of the sea were incredible:

Not to mention the cats! Which, despite the reputation of Japan's animal islands seemed to be in no worse health than your average stray cats I'd say. Several were also neutered. The island didn't feel overrun, it just seemed like a place with a whole bunch of them. And they were so friendly! We'd be walking down the street and a cat would see us and just start excitedly trotting towards us and beg for pets. My sister even got to hold a bunch of them! (You're not supposed to forcibly pick them up, so she wouldn't hold them if they showed even the first sign of wanting down)

A gif of them as a gift:

Something neat I didn't expect:

I didn't expect people to be so delighted by us speaking extremely basic Japanese to them!

Well, I did kind of expect it a little bit I didn't think it would be SUCH A BIG DEAL.

I've been very casually learning Japanese for a while, but it's mostly Duolingo so it's not like I like, know the language or anything. I went there with some vocabulary and just enough confidence to use a word or two. But when I hit a cashier with a "daijoubu" (I'm fine) when they ask if I need a bag or even just an "arigatou gozaimasu" (thank you) at the end they seem to be so much happier about the interaction. I honestly wonder if they're used to white tourists being kind of difficult and stubborn.

By far the most unexpected bit of useful vocabulary I used was "douzo":

Exiting an elevator at the same time as someone else? Old lady gets on the bus and you want to give her your seat? Someone in a store reaches for the same product you were reaching for?

Just gesture to the thing you're offering, smile, and say "douzo" to let them know they can go ahead. Doing that got me so many smiles from people! One old couple was so happy about it that they talked to us for a little while (we didn't understand much of each other but I caught that they were in their 80s and they caught that we were going to the aquarium) and they even helped us find our next train!

Did I eat anything cool?

I felt like I didn't really get a chance to be very adventurous with food this time! My sister is very picky and refuses to eat pork (it's not a dietary restriction or anything, she just thinks it's gross), raw fish, or cold entrees. Also, we were both pretty sensitive to the smell of seafood during the trip. This meant we were really limited on things like ramen, bento, sushi, etc.

We relied a little too much on American chain restaurants I think. But we did get to eat some good Japanese food though!

We went to this one place called Yakiniku Like (it's a chain and I think it's kinda trendy on tiktok bc it's very tourist friendly). You get a small grill in your table and you order your meat on an iPad and cook it yourself. It was pretty good! Not very adventurous or interesting though.

Snack foods are good too! I finally got to try Japanese pudding (good!), coffee jelly (not my thing but I understand why that pink haired kid I'm always posting about likes it so much), convenience store fried chicken (heavenly), and those strawberry-whipped cream sandwiches they sell at 7-11 (why the hell don't they sell those here).

Also, so many green grape flavored candies! We should do that more

Did I buy any souvenirs?

A little bit!

I spent most of my money on food/transport/logistics so I kind of found myself hesitant to buy too much stuff. I did get a bunch of pins and magnets though!

My pins:

I'm not taking them off my bag but I've circled the new ones! I got a bunch of vintage Olympics pins at a flea market on our first day, and I also got some from the Ghibli Museum and Rabbit Island.

(also in looking at this, I just now realized that I have two Lake Placid 1980 pins on my bag....)

And my magnets:

I collect refrigerator magnets when I travel even more consistently than probably anything else. Every time I travel somewhere I try to get at least one. I came back from Japan with several, lmfao

OH! Also I won this ugly little guy in a UFO catcher and I love him

Too rough

Bakugou is sweet but too rough, use of pronouns she her, degradation (lots of degrading words during sex), reader just realizing love for Bakugou

this is for people 18+ minors do NOT interact

You have been transferred to UA from a small town. You are not very shy and do not look very strong, for the record you look like you don't even have powers at all. Your parents owned a big business and were quite rich but they like a small town vibe so they stayed there.

it's your first day and Aizawa presents you to the class, you are a bit embarrassed for some reason and keeping your head down, you sit at the back behind Denki, left to you is Iida and right to you is Ochaco.

The lunch break starts, and you are alone at your table eating a bento that you made, you made some pandas from rice, some sushi, avocado and a candy bar, nothing much.

Denki saw you and asked you to come with him, Mina, Bakugou, Sero and Kirishima. You nodded, Mina was so happy, Sero and Kirishima too, Bakugou was well... Bakugou, silent and looking away, you weren't thinking too much of him, you were happy that you made friends the first day.

"we are going to lunch, do you wanna go with us y/n?" Kirishima asked you after school, you nodded. They asked a lot questions about you and you did about them, you wanted to get to know them and they wanted to get to know you too. There was one person that you didn't even hear a word from, they all talked in his name, he was calm.

They all called him rough and very vocal, always angry and really possessive, but he didn't seem like that to you but it didn't quite matter, they were all friends to you.

A month passed and everything was fine until Ectoplasm did a very hard math lesson you just couldn't understand, you asked Mina but she said that she understands but can't teach very good, she tried to explain it but she vas very bad.

"Bakugou is great at math, maybe he can help you, I mean he helped Denki and Sero too. Kirishima thinks it's not manly to ask for help so he is trying alone to understand" Mina said

"can you ask him for me? I don't want to bother him, I mean... if it's okay with you." you said

"NO PROBLEM" Mina replied

she went over to Bakugou and he looked very irritated and angry but reluctantly agreed.

"after classes at my dorm." Bakugou said

After classes you came to his dorm, you took a shower, dressed nicely but comfortably, you looked very common and you smelled like vanilla an flowers. He looked pulled together really well, he seemed a bit happy to see you, his room was full of All Might figurines and limited edition posters, he was incredibly tidy person, his room looked very comfortable and warm. He offered you some juice and cola and very quickly you got to the problem.

He spent around 30 minutes explaining the lecture to you and you seemed to understand it quite well. Around 15 minutes after that you two were over.

"You can come over tomorrow to review the lection to make sure you remember it" He seemed shy but straight forward as ever

Was that a small blush on his face?!

"sure thing" you reply "thank you, I owe you one"

tomorrow after classes you come to his dorm, this time he is wearing grey sweatpants and a COMPRESS T-SHIRT?! He looked very VERY hot, to a level you might've blushed just a bit, his rock hard abs and big strong chest were very well defined under his shirt, he seemed to be blushing too.

You were studying and as you were doing equations you felt his eyes scanning every detail, every curve, every fold, your eyes, nose, lips...

"let's take a break" he said

"yeah, sure" you said

"Do you want any snacks?" he asked lightly tilting his head to the right

"sure" you reply sweetly

he brought some chocolate, some chips and cold juice, those were all of your favorite things, you only told that to Mina. Maybe he likes the same stuff

"do you like the things I bought?" he asks quietly

"yeah, you really... you bought this only for me?!" you were blushing

"well, Mina told me you liked these" he said unsurely

Mina told him, why would he ask her

"you are red, are you okay, is it hot in here, do you want me to turn on the A/C?" he looked a bit worried

"no, I'm fine, but... why did you ask Mina?"

now he was blushing

"i- i just wanted to make this study session less..."

"less what?" you were curious

"more chill and less... study strict..." he was looking down and on to his pants, his eyes widened and he stood up quickly "excuse me" he rushes into the toilet. Few minutes later he looked refreshed

"you know, you have really beautiful eyes y/n" he said

"thanks"

"do you maybe wanna go out for a drink sometimes?" he said nervously

"umm... yeah, sure" you are blushing

"we can stay here and hang out for a bit if you want to" he said wanting to make you feel comfortable

"okay" you replied

"wanna watch a movie?" he asked

"sure"

You decided a movie and halfway trough you decided to break the ice and put your head on his shoulder. After few minutes he started stroking your hair, it relaxed you and atmosphere lightened up. Before you left you gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, he blushed.

He barely slept, he thought of you for the whole night and that kiss on the cheek.

Tomorrow in school he approached you

"do you wanna go to the nearby caffe after school?" he asked politely

"i don't see why not" you replied

The whole school day and trainings go by very quickly. later you put on a nice button up shirt and a skirt, it looked very cute on you, and you felt very excited for this "date"

Two meet up outside and start walking and talking, date goes very nicely and the two of you have a great time, you end up sitting on a bench that was on a small hill, and you two were watching sunset together, his hand crawls up to yours and you two hold hands in silence, he turns towards you and you turn towards him

"may I?" he asks

"you may" you blush

He slowly leans in and gives you a long kiss on the lips, you kiss him back, and even though this is your first kiss, its very shooting and relaxing, he is very passionate. At the end he even lightly bites your lip and nibbles on it softly. You hum just a little and he smiles. He puts his hand on your cheek and gently caresses it with his thumb.

"you look adorable right now. May I kiss you again?"

you just nod, you seem to be desperate for him, you just adore the sensation of his lips on yours. he gently nibbles on your lip as he kisses it causing him to groan a little and for you to gently moan pleasure

"let's go to my dorm" he says with a wink

"yeah" you are blushing hard

You two come to his dorm and he sits on his bed signaling for you to sit on his lap. As you sit he gently squeezes your cheeks and kisses you. His tongue gently enters your mouth as he tries to taste more of you. Shortly after all of his tongue is in your mouth, savoring every taste and swallowing every gentle moan that tries to escape your mouth.

His left hand travels to your shirt and plays with a top button

"this is a really nice shirt you've got up here" he says with a sly grin

"but i think that you would be prettier without it" without a delay he starts to unbutton your shirt and toss it on the ground, revealing your beautiful pink bra

"what a beautiful sight" he grins as he slowly lifts your breasts and starts to fondle them. he pinches and flicks your nipples as you moan at every flick.

He lays you down on the bed and he slowly removes your bra as his mouth finds the way to your chest, he slowly kisses your breast and nibbles on your hardened nipple, his tongue sharply flicks your nipple causing you to moan.

his hands slowly wander to your tummy and to your hips, slowly gliding to the end of your skirt and going under the fabric of the skirt slowly gliding up your thighs

you put a hand on his head trying to pull him away to stop the abuse over your breasts and your sensitive nipples.

his head slowly rises, "why do you want me to stop princess, I thought that you like this"

his fingers glide to your soaked panties

"your body is telling me a different story"

His fingers continue to tease your clothed pussy, your hips start moving up and down in search for more friction, more pleasure, more power.

"look at you whore, so desperate for me, don't worry, I will start to satisfy you very soon" he continues to tease her

He lifts her skirt to see her pink panties soaked, he takes off her skirt and then her panties revealing a beautiful pussy. His mouth slowly glides from her tummy to her clit and slowly licks it and makes circles around it. Your hips start moving faster as he spreads your legs. You start moaning

"a-ah, Bakugou, ngh... slow down"

"let me enjoy my meal bitch" he replies aggressively going faster, squeezing and fondling your breasts harder

"Bakugou I'm gonna.... I'm gonna..."

He continues "I don't care" he replies going faster and faster making you come on his face and he drinks up most of it licking his lower lip and grinning widely.

"Such a slut, aren't you, coming all over my face, such a dirty whore. I should punish you for this" he forcefully bends you over his knees and starts spanking you

"AAH Bakugou, stop" you shout in pain

"Scream more" he continues spanking you hard as his hard slaps and your cries fill the room

"STOP PLEASE" you shout

"Good girl, begging like a whore you are, lay back down on your back" he commands and you obey.

His fingers find a way to your pussy, his fingers slowly ender deep and curls his fingers right onto your g-spot causing you to moan in pleasure. his fingers go faster and faster as he spits on your pussy making you come again.

without further ado he takes off his shirt and his pants and rubs his rock hard dick leaking precum against your entrance before slamming into you causing your back to arch and you to scream, he goes faster and faster

"do you like this whore? do you like me using you as a sex toy, you are nothing more than a whore to me" he says in pure sadistic joy watching as your eyes fill with tears

"don't cry now bitch, I'm gonna carve my big cock shape into your tight pussy, I'm gonna mark you as mine" he groans going faster and faster and with a final slam against you he fills you up with his sperm

"good girl, let's take a shower ok?"

you both take a shower and you lay down in his arms, he starts kissing your forehead

"you were too rough" you say

"okay, and?" he replies

"please don't be as rough next time..." you say shyly

"i can't promise you that" he chuckles

And with that you both fall asleep

"Bakugou wake up! we are late for school!"

"Don't worry, its Saturday..."

hello, it's the writer speaking, I hope you liked my first ever fanfic. if you have any recommendations for characters of any anime (preferably mha, jjk, op, haikyuu, death note) I can do, I could also do some spiderman ones or k-pop OR manhwa characters. Since I identify as a female I don't think that I will do any male readers but we'll see. I hope you enjoyed 3:30h of my work!

What are the witches’ favourite foods?

I personally think Gretchen would be fond of cream stew. It is Madoka’s canonical favourite food.

I'm not a very foody person but I'll do my best

Gertrud likes light sweet things like cheesecake or creme brulee. She has a sophisticated and adult palette. Her favourite is white chocolate and ginger cheesecake

Sulieka likes bitter and spicy food. She has a high spice tolerance. Her favourite is high percentage dark chocolate

Charlotte loves cheese but also does like sweet things. She's the kind to like odd combinations such as cheese and sweets. It's certainly strange but at least she'll eat almost anything. Her favourite is goats cheese

Elly has a sweet tooth but also likes quick ready meals like instant ramen. She hates cooking so just likes snacking on things and cooking things that simply go in the oven or microwave. She either eats far too much or not enough, she's desperately underweight. Her favourite is ajitama soy sauce ramen

Albertine has a very immature palette. Won't eat vegetables except carrots. She loves sweet things so much but doesn't have very good teeth... Her favourite is strawberry shortcake

Gisela doesn't really care about food so eats whatever. She prefers bland tasting things and can't really stomach things that are too spicy or rich. Doesn't eat in public as she has a strange way of digesting things. Her favourite, if she had to choose, would be a turkey sandwich.

Elsa Maria is the kind of person to eat anything just to please whoever has cooked for her so doesn't have anything she really doesn't like. But her favourites are ice cream and milkshakes, strawberry flavour for both~

Uhrmann is a picky eater and likes sweet things the most. She's underweight because she eats such few things. Her favourite is anything rhubarb and custard flavoured

Oktavia likes warm meals and spicy things. Really likes to eat meat. Her favourite is chicken curry

Izabel is another picky eater. She hates cooking but is also very judgemental of when other people cook for her. She hates anything that takes a long time to prepare. Her favourite is tart tatin (but she won't make it herself)

Patricia has a fondness for bento boxes and sushi. They make her feel nostalgic and she can make her own maki rolls very well. She loves to make food for others, especially her Mathieu. Her favourite is california rolls

Roberta is far more partial to any alcoholic beverage than food. But if she had to choose it'd be something fancy and expensive. She loves to spoil herself and to be spoiled. Her favourite is sachertorte

Kriemhild Gretchen's tastes are indeed similar to Madoka's. She loves home cooked food and eating meals with her friends. Her favourites are cream stew and hot chocolate

Walpurgisnacht likes warming food like a curry or stew and likes to make big meals for her daughters. Her favourite is beef bourguingon

Candeloro's tastes are similar to Mami's. She loves tea and cake and especially throwing tea parties. Her favourite tea is green tea and her favourite cake is red velvet cake

Ophelia is more picky than Kyoko but not desperately. She's a sucker for Japanese food and will gladly try anything new from the genre. Her favourite food is tempura

Homulilly likes sweet things, especially pastries and things with fruit in. Her favourite is strawberry tart

a/n: life has been a whirlwind so just quickly channeling some feelings here HAHA also in hopes that I can pick up writing again taglist: @irethepotato, @kisara-16reblogs, @thatdazaikin, @dazaee

warnings: angst, not proofread notes: first person Dazai POV, "reader" is female

There was no reason for me to wander into that district. There was no one to meet, no place to visit - it must have been the force of a bad habit that refuses to die.

Or it was just the alcohol. Yes, it must have been the alcohol that chose all these wrong decisions tonight. I shouldn’t have refused Kunikida-kun’s offer for drinks if only I knew I’d end up drinking by myself - and nothing good happens when I drink by myself.

Ghosts of the past begin to take form once more, a heavy, deplorable weight upon these scarred shoulders that could break at any moment. Try as I might, I can't ignore them, let alone exorcise them. As time goes by their presence only becomes stronger.

My mind was hazy and my vision was blurry, but a glimpse of the faintest semblance of that woman triggered a full-body paralysis.

At that moment I was certain it was her.

All of a sudden, my blood rushed forcefully through constricted vessels and I began to walk toward her. There was a man she was adhered to by the arm. If I had been just a little bit more intoxicated I might have assumed they were one creature squirming about under the neon lights.

With a half-drunken strut and a sneer I approached them.

“Who’s this new victim you’ve got here? You’ll toss him aside once you get bored with him, won’t you? What a pathetic whore.”

That’s what I wanted to say. But the moment they disappeared into the dark corridor of the establishment, so did my impulsive urge.

I could have done it. Maybe I should’ve. But there’s still a part of me that’s always true to the one and only promise of a love that was cursed from the beginning. What a slave, what an idiot.

At least I know better than to dabble into any of that nonsense again. Fooling around here and there with no strings attached doesn’t count, of course, and by now I’ve accepted that it’ll stay that way until I fizzle away into nothing.

Could I do better? Of course. I could let a woman waltz as gaily as she wishes into this cold, barren heart, and tango away from it just as freely. But I’m not that kind; not to others, and especially not to myself.

Every woman is tainted with a semblance of her: it doesn’t matter how minute it might be. The brand of her shoes, the way she crosses her legs, and even the fluttering of the eyes – it’s all linked to that cruel woman.

The whirlwind of images and emotions overwhelmed my half-functioning brain until it was finally swept up by its current and drowning night lights.

“Sir? Excuse me, but, uh…”

Some strange soul was nudging at me.

“You’ve been out for a bit so I came to check on you.”

I opened my eyes to a brighter sky, realizing that I must have passed out on a nearby bench. The angel, it seemed, was a graveyard-shift convenience store worker.

“It might be too late for you to go home and then to work, so you can have this for breakfast.” She handed me a small plastic bento with six pieces of cheap sushi and two egg rolls in it. “Actually it’s about to expire, but it’s still good I had some earlier…”

She was fidgeting and rambling about, cheeks turning pink and all. Why was she so nervous talking to a hangover goof? How naïve of her to approach in the first place.

“A-anyway I’ll be going now.”

I had yet to thank her when she dashed off and went back to her workplace. It was a strange encounter to say the least, and my foggy brain was struggling to piece its thoughts together.

I glanced once at the cold bento and then at the store she fled to. Hmm. Perhaps I should pay a visit soon.

I love this so much!

Sugar is so confident despite being kind of short and sweet looking. Bright green eyes and long auburn hair. She also wants to make sure that everyone is alright.

The worst thing about her is she’s oblivious. Think intelligent bit with zero common sense or ability to read subtle body language. You really have to spell things out for her because she never wants to assume anything.

She’s new. I’ve only had her since I started writing again. She’s existed in various stages before, but she never really had a name or permanent features.

I ship her with way too many people! She needs to be with someone that is confident with themselves and is able to be open about their feelings or the relationship isn’t going anywhere.

She loves bento boxes. Rice, sushi, chicken katsu, and tempura veggies. Don’t ever give her mushrooms though…

Thank you for this! ❤️❤️❤️

I just love the entire energy of this! You can feel like the entire formation process still happening, but there’s enough there to love and appreciate!

The disdain for mushrooms has me laughing - my spouse HATES them, I love them (between the two of we get there xD ). Ahhhh Bento and sushi… I’m already hungry….

I love her quirks too - the intelligent/oblivious can be a lot of fun, especially in a world as diverse as One Piece. It’s a great way to create chaos and break tension and also being able to follow along as the characters learns and improves is good too!

Let me love your OCs and Self-Inserts

Night Shift Vents

Part 1 Part 2

“LOOK, look, in my defense, I'm just not used to pre-packaged food being eatable!”

“Eatable? Do you mean edible.” He raised an eyebrow at you. Teasing. You waved him off.

“You know what I meant! Japanese is hard! Either way, back in the states a lot of the food in convenience stores isn't exactly top notch, and no matter how good the stuff here looks, I'm not chancing it. That’s that” You tightened your stomach, willing away the hunger. You were fine not even a minute ago but once Izuku showed up and got himself one of those fancy little bento boxes that you’ve been eyeing for the past three years since you started working here, it was over for you. It wasn’t even that it didn’t look appetizing; it was a matter of principle now. You said you didn’t eat convenience store food so you wouldn’t eat it. No matter how good he made it look. You were prideful, and didn’t like taking your words back.

“Really? I think you’re just being stubborn. Have you even eaten yet? Here, try it, it's really not bad!” He lifted his chopsticks up to you. Sushi.

“Izuku, there is no fucking way I’m eating convenience store sushi” You leaned back mouth in an exaggerated grimace, your being childish again.

He rolled his eyes at you, smiling at your expression, playful. Brining the sushi to his own mouth instead. He wouldn’t force you.

Your stomach decides to announce itself in that moment, upset at your denial.

He gathered rice instead “here” chopsticks to your face once again. You narrowed your eyes at him.

“I already told you I won't eat something bought in a convenience store” you turned your face away from the offered food, scowling. You're acting like a toddler.

“It's not sushi though, and you're hungry, just try it. I promise it’s good!” He leaned forward, chopsticks following you. Yeah, you definitely feel like a toddler now. You glare at him.

“I can feed myself, you know, I'm not a fucking kid” you spit out meaner than you had meant. Flustered.

“OH! I know I know! I really don’t mind though! I like it-I mean, well-I, I do this with a lot of my friends, but I understand if you rath-” he starts retracting, hurriedly pulling the food back, skittish at your tone.

Before he gets too far, you decide to bite at the rice, effectively shutting up whatever ramble he had coming your way. For a second you had contemplated just shoving the food out of your face. But that would have been too mean, even for you; and as much as it hurt to admit, you were hungry. You had been low on money for the last two weeks, having to save enough to make rent.

Besides, you didn’t want to hear him ramble anyways, you eat, he stays quiet. Sounds like more than a fair deal to you; and you guess rice is rice; at least it's not raw fish.

His smile grows. Cheeks going the faintest of reds. It goes on like this for a while. Izuku feeding you from his small bento; he finishes the sushi, but you notice he stopped going for the rice leaving it for you. You ignore your warming cheeks. It's just rice.

“-I can even bring you some next time if you like?”

“What?” You had been staring at the counter, lost in thought. If you had to guess, he had been talking at you for a while now. What was he going on about?

Hand going to rub at his neck “I said I can bring in something for you next time!” at your blank expression, he elaborated.

“I-were you even listening?” Now he had a blank look. No scratch that now he’s pouting.

Smiling at him, sweet “No.” you checked your phone 4:15 am “But now I am so hurry up and tell me” Or take your time, afterthought, you still had two more hours to go.

Shaking his head at your behavior “What I was so intimately sharing with you was that I’ve been trying to get better at cooking. I’ve been taking lessons from a friend. It's actually been something I've thought about doing for a while now and I guess I have kinda been on a pretty unhealthy binge lately. I-”

“Wait-you have to be kidding me. Look, if you’ve been on an unhealthy binge I don’t even want to know what you would call my diet, you look like a Greek statue” You won’t lie you partly said it just to see him go cherry red; and anyways it was true. Whatever he was eating it definitely was not affecting his physique. Yeah, not one bit.

“Well, I- umm, I- thank you! I really appreciate that it’s-”

God, he made it too easy.

“Unhealthy binge? Get on with it, I don’t have all night”

“Right! Right, sorry. So umm, basically I just wanted to make sure I stay healthy and well, a good diet is a major part of that! Like-like I mentioned I noticed that I’ve started to essentially live off smoothies and ramen or just anything that well” he motioned to the empty bento box between you “accessible at the moment, even if it's not exactly the healthiest.” He looked away, embarrassed. You don’t think he would be half that self-conscious if he knew what your daily meals were like in comparison to what he’s describing.

“It actually took one of my friends pointing how bad this had gotten out of hand, for me to actually realize it haha.” leaning forward resting his cheek resting on his palm, he stared at the bento “They, showed up at my place and well it was late, I had offered to order take out but they umm insisted...quite passionately, that they could make something better then whatever ‘trash’ I decided to order, so I, um, I agreed.” he looked to you again, palm covering his mouth, did he always have that many scars on his hands? Huffing out a small laugh “I guess they didn’t realize that all I had at home were the premade smoothie cups and ramen, they were pretty angry”

You smiled at him. “I don’t know late night smoothies and ramen can be pretty good” you mimicked his pose. Both a bit closer.

“Maybe you can come over sometime. We can share a late ’meal’”

“We already did” you point your lips at the bento.

When you look to him, he isn't looking at the bento.

“So, what? Did you guys end up ordering takeout”

He blinks at you-confused “OH, yeah, we did and ha they got our orders wrong, I didn’t want to look at him I thought he was going to blow” grinning “But yeah afterwards they actually offered to help me learn how to make something that wasn’t a ‘half-assed meal’.” Their grin turned soft, then looking away, lip between their teeth. “I umm, I think I've gotten pretty good at the actual making of the food, SO don’t worry, it is edible! But I have been told that I have well...” hand going to rub at his neck awkwardly, nervously, “piss poor presentation”

The snort that escapes you at this is very unflattering, "What does presentation matter? As long as you can eat it and it's good?” you're grinning, a few giggles managing to escape you.

“RIGHT! THATS WHAT I SAID! But no, apparently, I won't amount to anything if the garnish isn't just right” as he says this, he mockingly adorns an invisible plate.

“But yeah! Because I have to practice on that anyways I could just bring you in something after my ‘lessons’. If you want that is! Don’t feel like-”

“I would like that.” you grab the empty bento box and making your way to the small trash can on your left. “Maybe, you can offer me something better then raw fish next time”

You look up at him “we can make it a date” you wink, teasing.

He flushes. Too easy.

Levi's Turn

"Ta-daaa!" Levi grins at me. "Look what we have here! It's a special homemade bento box lunch courtesy of Leviachan!" I chose to sit next to Levi during our lunch hour, since I haven't seen him much today.

"So, what do you think?" Before I can open my mouth, Levi answers the question for me. "Pretty great, huh?! It's Ruri-chan themed! And what's more, I used a super extravagant three-layer bento box! But it's more than just pretty! I'm confident that you'll think it tastes amazing, too!" I grab a roll of sushi and pop it in my mouth.

"Not bad," I tell him. Levi nearly knocks off his bento box off the table in his excitement.

"Eat as much as you want, you should." Here we go with the Yoda impression again. "Hold back, you should not. In fact, let me feed it to you!" He grabs a Japanese omelet and pops it in my mouth. Unfortunately, that's the moment the intimacy options pop up. If they had showed up when I ate the sushi, I would have gone against Belphie's orders and raised my intimacy level with Levi. But, since Levi has allowed his feelings to trump mine yet again, I have no choice but to lower it.

"Wha...?" Levi asks in confusion. "You don't think it tastes good?" He takes another omelet and tastes it. Immediately, he spits it out.

"Ugh, that's disgusting! I think I'm going to vomit! I must've used the eggs that expired 500 years ago by accident!" Levi runs off in the direction of the restrooms, leaving his bento box behind.

"It wasn't the eggs, was it?" Belphie asks, once again taking the abandoned seat.

"I know he means well, but he can be so annoying sometimes," I answer. "I don't know when he managed to watch Star Wars, but he keeps imitating Yoda, and it's like nails on a chalkboard! On top of that, he assumes that what's best for him is what's best for me, and he often forces me to do things that I don't want to do!"

"He hasn't done anything inappropriate to you, has he?" The question catches me off guard. Since when did Belphie care about my wellbeing.

"No. The closest thing would be making the pact without my permission, but that works to your advantage, so I guess--"

"He made a pact with you without your permission?"

"Why does that upset you?"

"Because he shouldn't make those type of decisions for you!"

"But it's perfectly okay for you to force me to help you escape the attic?" He glares at me, but surprisingly does nothing else. A few seconds later, he sighs.

"The last person you need to find is Lucifer." I guess I hit a nerve, because he completely changed the subject. Not wanting to anger him any more than I might have, I ask him,

"Where do you think he might be?"

"Knowing him, he's probably heading up to the roof. He doesn't like things to drag out, especially when he doesn't want to do them in the first place. He's probably waiting for you so that he can confess his love to you and end the game." I get up from my seat.

"Then, let's head up to him."

Heisei Cataclysm "Mastermind Mastermind Mastermind" (Tachibana Fumi & Heiwa)

A mastermind… I don't particularly like such a noisy title. My name is KIKI.

—To put it simply, I'm the mastermind.

"Today, we're going to have a card competition!"

When I said so, the look on Tokido Haku's face was…

"Eh…?"

"Frozen" or "stunned" are too common words, but she had a very interesting expression.

"W-What do you mean?"

She had gotten a lot stronger. The silver-haired maiden. We first met a long time ago.

I wonder if it was when she was in junior high school that she first came to this world in her dream. She seemed to be a leader of some sort now. She's really grown up. Only in appearance, of course.

"You always get tired of seeing those two kill each other, don't you? So I thought it would be nice for a change of pace once in a while. I've given it a lot of thought, fufun!"

"Fufun, you say…"

Snap!

I snapped my fingers. The 〔Reverse World〕 became pitch black. The spotlight that was only on Haku and I, illuminated and revealed two other characters.

Tokido Rei. Tokido Sakuhi.

Rei, a boy, and Sakuhi, a girl with pigtails. Sakuhi embodied the spirit of Rei, who was originally a double personality. It's complicated, so you can think of them as twins.

For a young boy and girl, their eyes were a little dead. I wish I could at least make their voices filled with childlike wonder.

"Rei! Sakuhi! Be sure to be determined to compete!"

"..."

But perhaps it's impossible, after all.

Snap!

Furthermore, with another snap of my finger, it turned into a tatami mat of foot-garif green, and a card was embodied between Rei and Sakuhi.

"A-Amazing…"

"Fufun, how do you like my strength?"

Then I suddenly realized...

"Oops, that's not good enough at this rate. I need to step up—"

Slap! Slap! Slap!

First, Mount Fuji. Second, a geisha. Third, sushi tempura.

These were embodied in Rei and Sakuhi's background. Now the background was perfect. However, Haku was dissatisfied.

"That's a mountain, two hawks, and three eggplants… right? It’s like the first thing you dream of on New Year's Day…"

"Shut up, shut up, nobody will marry you if you keep thinking about the details."

"Um, even if you say that…"

"Then, I'll make your head go bald."

"Eh!?"

"It's possible with my strength."

"Well, don't do that!"

I said in a jest, and Haku bowed. I flapped my dark wizard's robe.

"Welcome to the Card Games, Tokido Haku. The 〔Reverse World〕welcomes you!"

That's how our card competition started.

"Do— Don't get me wrong, it's not like I made this bento box for you or anything!"

"Wait, these are Tsundere cards!"

Haku was very surprised to hear the text on the card I read.

"It's fine, isn't it? It's still a card competition so long as there's cards."

"T-That's true, but we have to protect PKO…"

"I think PKO is important, too, but what about TPO?"

"TKO?"

"Then, should we just stop playing cards and go back to killing each other?"

"Ugh, t-that's not what I meant, but…"

"Look, Haku."

It was a rare sight to see Rei and Sakuhi competing for cards. I wondered what it looked like in Haku's eyes, which had always only seen them kill each other. I read the next card with all my heart.

"Shu— Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"Wow, it's ruined! Even though it was such an emotional and moving scene!"

"Ugh~!"

"Wow."

Haku groaned, "You're the worst!".

"Do— Don't get me wrong, it's not like I said that for your sake or anything, okay!?"

"No, no, no, there was already a similar line before! And furthermore, there's no such thing as "Do" on the cards in these games!!"

Maybe I pushed Haku too hard to be the straight man, but she was gasping for air.

Then…

"I took this one first!"

"Well, I was faster!"

Rei and Sakuhi started arguing over the "Do" card.

"Those two are working so hard to get the "Do" card… Wait, no no no, that's not right! Look, the both of you can't fight, okay?"

"..."

The two nodded silently, and returned quietly to cards again. As expected of an elder sister.

"But I wish it were like this every time…"

Haku squinted her eyes. Rei jumped at the cards with a big jump, and Sakuhi took away the cards around her with accurate movements.

"There's no hostility between them…"

The boy and girl were playing Tsundere cards with great effort.

"It's like they're good friends…"

Haku yawned loudly with a "Hwaah~".

"Rather, it's so comfortable that I'm bored."

So I gave a suggestion.

"Then, how about giving a prize to the winner since it's a great match?"

"Oh, that's a good idea! Yes, I agree! I super agree with you!!"

"Then why don't you work hard to win a prize every time you take one card?"

"Wow, that sounds great. I'm sure I'll like this!!"

"Well, then... every time Rei takes one card, he draws one person from the 〔Surface World〕. So every time Sakuhi takes one card, she draws one person from the 〔Reverse World〕.

"Eh…?"

"That's where you thin them out, Haku. Look, there are a lot of extra people you need, aren't there? To achieve peace. That's why you can make those people representative players in each world, and if you win, you can get rid of people in the other world. What do you think?"

"What do I think…? Of course I'm not okay with that! You can't do that!"

"Why?"

"That's obvious, isn't it!?"

Haku raised her voice and yelled.

"That's weird. You're the one who agreed to a prize for the competition. Are you going back on it now?"

"No! That's not the type of prize I agreed to!"

"Well, I don't mind. Because those kids aren't killing each other. But you don't want people to die… Ah. I see. I see, so that's it. It's okay, Haku. I'll exclude you and your precious friends. —That way, it's all right, isn't it?"

"W-Wrong! That's not the issue!"

Haku clenched her teeth.

"No? Hmm, then I don't mind excluding your brother from killing…"

"Eh, my little brother? You know my little brother!? Do you know where he is?"

"If it's the boy you've been looking for, he's right there."

"Where?"

"Look, Tokido Rei— The boy playing cards."

Haku stared at Rei with her eyes wide open.

"Y-You're kidding… right? T-This boy is…"

"Just kidd—ing, that was a lie!"

"Wha—!?"

"Because you're in a dream right now, Haku."

"Huh?"

"Tokido Rei and Tokido Sakuhi are part of your dreams. They're who you are."

"Y-You're… lying…"

Haku held her head in her hands.

"Of course it's a lie-pyon!"

"W-What's wrong with you!? What do you want!?"

"No matter what you ask what I want, this is Haku's dream world, so everything will be exactly as Haku wants…"

"I-I don't want this!"

"Well, that's, you know, depth psychology? It's no use what your latent thoughts are about… Ah, but no matter what you really want, I'm the only one who'll agree to it, Tokido Dropout-san."

"W-What are you? Who the hell are you!?"

—Yes. Indeed, I have never called myself KIKI to Haku.

However…

"Yes, I should have introduced myself first."

"What the hell is your identity!?"

When I took off my black robe, my hair, my eyes, my hands, and my feet were all blacked out. It was just darkness, just space, and it was just an empty world.

"I am the 〔Reverse World〕— So to speak."

"Eh, you're kidding… What do you mean by that!? You're… this world?"

Yes, I alone exist for the sake of a peaceful world.

This time, Haku's body became as thin as a vision and lost its color.

"W-What's going on? No, not yet, w-wait a minute!"

Oh no, time's up.

"Rei! Rei!!"

Ignoring Haku's shouting, I snapped my fingers again.

Snap!

"Oh…"

Haku nodded. I erased Haku's memories as usual.

So as not to be found by the 〔Surface World〕. So as not to be noticed by the 〔Surface World〕. But I want her to remember one thing.

"The shape of the world today is what the 〔Surface World〕 wants."

Yes, I alone exist for the sake of a peaceful world.

And so, Haku's body and spirit disappeared from the 〔Reverse World〕.

The Tokidos are essential. She opens the door of time and observes this world. Rei and Sakuhi are the Surface and Reverse. They represent the current state of the world. That's why they were built. By gathering negative emotions for Rei, we managed to satisfy the 〔Surface World〕 for the time being, but we're reaching our limit. I've been doing a lot of work to prevent the 〔Surface World〕 from resetting... but to avoid it, she needs to observe a new world.

"Hey, Haku…"

Rei, and Sakuhi,

—Before you break,

—Before you forget,

—Before you break down,

—Before you're swallowed,

—Before you get erased,

—Before you get worn out,

"Quickly, you need to realize the truth or you'll be punished. Fufun!"

A mastermind… I don't particularly like such a noisy title. My name is KIKI.

I am a crisis, a joy, a destruction, a demon, a strange, brilliant, beginning.

—But to put it simply, I'm the mastermind.

Good morning.

It's the end of the March break and it's been so eventful all week. In a really, good way. This week I was able to socialize and bond with so many people -- something I never thought I'd do again. I never thought I'd often be around people and manage to form stronger friendships, but I'm doing better now. I'm surprised just by the fact that I can make a friend so easily.

But that isn't really the highlight of my week. The truth is, I've taken an interest in a guy. Something I never thought I would do, especially since it has only been 3 months since my heart broke.

The only difference now is that chatting and sleeping in calls repel me. I feel traumatized when I encounter specific things that remind me of him.

Regardless, there's a guy I've written a couple of poems about. He's been on my mind, and I managed to ask him out during this week's Thursday. And I want to write about it so I can keep the memory forever.

Let's name him Versace. Since I hated the idea of forming a relationship through chatting (I avoid texting most of the time nowadays. Keep conversations short and sweet and direct it to interactions that will happen in real life), I decided I wanted to get to know him better in person.

I got the idea from learning about a really cute couple's experience. Apparently the girl in the relationship initiated things by asking the guy to go get bubble tea together. And reading about her confidence and ability to do such a thing motivated me to go and try.

So I scheduled to eat sushi with him on Thursday. Just the two of us.

When Thursday came, I saw him from my window. He came 10 minutes early to pick me up. His apartment was nearby, so he could just walk. And I guess the plan was to commute together to the sushi place.

I greeted him, hair tied up in a ponytail (he once noticed my hair tied up and repeatedly told me my hair was beautiful, so I did this today). He told me he was feeling sleepy still, and was glad I reminded him about today-- he would have slept in otherwise. I'd giggle at everything. It was surreal that he was in my apartment lobby. It was surreal that we were standing side by side in the cold, waiting for the bus.

Once we got in the bus, we sat together. I was honestly afraid that he would sit farther from me, but he sat next to me. We had a little bit of small talk. When our stop came, he stood and walked backwards, giving way to me to go before him and exit first.

We hopped off the bus and walked together uptown towards the sushi place. I didn't mind if the cold wind brushed against my face so much, all I could think about was how people thought we were a couple when we'd walk side by side.

He enters the restaurant with me, and I inform the waiter about the reservation I called for an hour ago, just to be sure we had a place to sit. We sat in a spacey booth, just like I had imagined.

He left the ordering to me. I wanted him to try Takoyaki and Sushi, so I ordered their discounted lunch specials -- two bento boxes with extra Tempura and one serving of Takoyaki. He ordered iced tea to drink, and I asked for hot water. "Let's split the bill since we're getting Takoyaki," I said. He agreed.

He admitted that he didn't know how to use chopsticks. I then taught him how to, guiding his hands. He was a fast learner. He figured it out and did it after a few tries. I smiled a lot, but not on purpose.

When the food came, I asked to take pictures. I wanted to capture the memory so bad, I even asked him of I can take a picture of him. "I don't smile in pictures," he says in response to me asking him to smile in front of the camera. But all it took was for me to giggle for a smile to creep into his face. Snap.

He tried the food and gave his comments on each and every item on the bento boxes. He didn't like most of it, and complained when he ate raw fish. I loved sushi, but the fact that he didn't like his gave it a bad feeling in my mouth too. He loved Tempura, and despised Takoyaki.

Apparently he had eaten a bit before we came here, so he didn't quite finish everything. I was full as well, so I asked for takeout containers.

I was disappointed that he didn't like the food, so I asked him what kind of food he liked instead. He mentioned steak, and I asked which places uptown had good steak. "Let's go there next time," I casually slipped in. "Definitely." he agreed. My heart fluttered.

The bill came, and the waiter went straight to him.

When I went with friends here two days ago, the waiter asked if everyone would have separate bills. But this time, he just went straight to Versace. Now that I think about it, he probably thought we were on a date as well.

But at the time, when the waiter left and Versace told me that we were set to leave, I was surprised. I asked him how much, and he told me not to worry about it. He tried to hide the receipt but I reached it in time. He paid $60 for food he didn't even like or finish. Crazy. I felt embarrassed, but upon telling close friends about this, they assured me that men paying for dates is a gentlemanly thing to do.

That was one of the things I really liked about him. He had manners, and he was a gentleman. His friends say it's because he grew up with sisters and was taught to respect women that way.

He didn't want to go home yet. I said we could walk around uptown, but he said he wanted to go see a film to kill the time. I agreed.

I remember him asking me why I invited him, and why it was just the two of us. He asked it again later. My default reasoning was because he hadn't tried Japanese food before. He was quick to pick up, without me mentioning, that Japanese food was my favorite, but I told him at least he knew he didn't like Japanese food now. When he asked again, I simply said it was because I wanted it. The long answer would have been because I wanted to spend time with just him.

I told him about how our mutual friend was secretly upset at him because he felt left out. Versace then felt bad and decided to invite him to see a film with us. I liked that about him. How he cared behind the scenes. He had a good heart.

We took the bus together to return to the mall. We walked together, speaking naturally while strong winds slapped us in the face endlessly.

At some point I noticed him laughing at me, looking back. His face was close to mine and he had a smile. I asked him why, feeling my cheeks burn up. He pointed out the way I sniffled. I was slightly confused, but he giggled. I noticed him pull me to the side of the sidewalk and take the danger zone. I loved that.

I loved how we both smiled and looked like a couple. It felt so different when it was just us. We often went out, but it was with a group of others. But this time his attention was all mine.

When we went to the movie theatre, I decided to pay for his tickets too. We chose to watch Puss in Boots. I went to buy a cup of water, and I swear the employee recognized me.

Our friend finally arrived, and I gave him the leftovers from the sushi place. That friend knew we went on a date that day.

We all sat on a row near the back, since those seats were easier on the eyes. Versace sat in the middle, I on his left, and our friend on his right.

Our friend eased a lot of the awkwardness and made things seem more natural. I casually asked Versace if I could lay on his shoulder. He let me. I laid there, and my heart calmed down.

He smelled really nice when I laid like that. I made conversation occasionally to make it seem natural. I used my jacket as a blanket. At some point, in an attempt to hear me, he slightly rested his head on top of mine. I wish we would have seen Avatar instead. I'd rather 3 hours sitting that way.

Then I felt him extend his hand. The back of his palm lightly rested on the top of my leg. My heart began beating.

Later, I felt him really touch my thigh. It was gentle, and it just stayed there. At some point I playfully lifted his palm and tried tickling it. I put it back when he said it didn't tickle. I felt the warmth of his palm.

After some time he extended it more. He was really holding it. I noticed his thumb rub it a little. I asked him why he was doing that. He explained it felt better to rest his arms that way, but he pulled back and told me that he just won't if I'm uncomfortable.

I picked his hand up and put it back, telling him it's okay. He relaxed a little, and my cheek sank into his shoulder.

He didn't go farther than that, but when I stretched near the end of the film. He pulled his hand back. I didn't have the guts to ask him to touch me again.

After the film, we strolled around the district with the friend for a while. We stopped by Subway to say hi to another friend that worked there. During this time, I playfully taped Versace's shoe with mine, thanking him again and telling him to take me out to a steakhouse next time. He agreed.

We then went to McDonald's to chill for a bit before going home. Us three bonded and spoke together. My friend casually forced me to sit beside him. I loved our friend at that moment, he was a solid. A real G. I sat beside Versace.

Our friend took a photo of me and Versace, and somehow he captured a moment where Versace was dreamily staring at me. He sent it to the group chat and I thought I looked bad so I got upset, but upon closer inspection later on, I noticed the way he looked at me. In the photo I was really just holding a phone to my ear to listen to something, but he was beside me, staring at me. With a slight smile on his face and eyes that told me almost everything. Could I have been imagining it? It's difficult to read a guy's signals when you like them, because you're blinded by your own worries and feelings. I usually could smell intentions and feelings from a mile away, but only for men I didn't really like.

When we were at the bus stop, we found a schoolmate. Someone I didn't really know, so I was naturally very quiet. I thought I noticed Versace sneak a few glances at me during the wait.

The bus ride was quiet except for the chatter of the mutual friend and the schoolmate, and before I left, I thanked our mutual friend for the bus fare, and gave Versace one last thank you for the day.

I didn't text him afterwards, but we did see each other again two days later.

So yeah. That's how my March break went. There were so many events on just that day that I had told a few friends so they could analyze with me. I'm surrounded by nice people.

I'm glad it worked out like that. Just today, (Saturday), he dropped by my apartment again to grab an assignment sheet from me. I could feel him warming up to me and getting closer to me since then.

That's all, I guess! I'll definitely write more when more things happen, but I think this was ten times better than any long call I used to have when I dated someone online. Way better. I'm so happy.

I helped with Children’s Cafeteria in the morning today. It was nice to join them after being absent for several months.

Usually “children’s cafeteria” refers to community efforts to support economically challenged families by providing them with inexpensive meals. But in this city, official survey didn’t find such families.

Nevertheless, this project was started to provide community people a chance to get together and eat together. The truth is that families may be economically fine but some kids are always eating meals alone because parents are too busy. And some young moms are feeling alone and helpless in child raising. This project was started to support such families. The aim is to give them a chance to play with other kids, talk with other parents, have fun together and spare moms from cooking once a month. Basically, mean to convey the message, “Hey, you’re not alone.”

But the problem is COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot get together to eat together in a room. So for months, we have been keeping our ties through to-go bento with staff’s message pasted on each.

Now, in this country, kids’ all-time favorite are hamburger steak (salisbury steak), sushi and curry rice (IMO). This time we went for the hamburger steak to please them. ;)

BTW, these cherry tomatoes and colored bell peppers were from “zombie garden” -- the veggie garden that a few staff including myself are taking care of.

(It’s a kind of spin-off project of this cafeteria but operating independently.) It definitely feels rewarding to see the result of our efforts in the garden being useful. :D

Recently some kids started helping with cooking. It’s so heartwarming to see the adult staff flexibly giving them work to do. Most of the time, we see “kids-only groups” or “elderly-only groups” in the community and when they do interact, it’s usually as “official” exchange events. That’s good but I love being in a group like this in which different generations naturally work together.

Our hand-written message stickers on the bento box are more colorful and diverse now, thanks to the kids.

And the art-club members of local high school draw illustrations on the signboard for us every month. It’s nice of them to include some seasonal themes.

Their work is such an eye-catcher. These days, those who came to pick up the bento take time to shoot some photos of the signboard.

The COVID pandemic is not over and now the number of infected people are actually more than ever. So, though much less people become severely ill recently, we still wear masks and ask them to keep appropriate distance when they come to pick up the bento.

We just hope that our bento and messages help these families cope with this pandemic (which often feels like a long tunnel without the sight of the ext...).

“Hope we all can get together and eat together someday!” “Don’t get heat stroke and have a fun day!” “Too bad shaved ice can’t be packed in bento.” “Prevent the COVID-19 and enjoy the summer to the fullest!”

Tsunami

Big wave – that’s what tsunami means.

When I say big, I am understating that a bit. It is smashing, crushing, furiously ferociously killing menace. It ends life, makes people scream in fear and haunts dreams.

I used to think that could be me.

That’s true when I enter the pool perhaps but not really in other circumstances. Revisiting my younger (and smaller) says, I last came to Tsunami maybe more than 5 years ago? So it definitely has staying power, unlike me. As I am reminded daily, things don’t work as well as they did (and that includes my mouth). Given the lack of clients this Saturday lunch, Tsunami may be also suffering from being closer to its terminal endings than me.

White needle tea. This was surprisingly good. Clean, fresh taste. Small pot and cup forcing you to savour every sip. The decorative leaf was a bit strange though as it just ended up soaking the tea from the rather badly fashioned teapot which proceeded to leak, quite a bit. Reminds me of my wallet.

Volcano Roll Shrimp. Doused in some rather weird cheese? sauce, the shrimp was ok, although probably not something to eat every day as it was a bit dear in price.

The bento box. Looked fairly decent.

Takoyaki, octopus balls. With some weird yellow sauce (at first I thought this was mustard, but I was wrong), it was alright in a surprising way. From the way it looked, I first bit in with trepidation. However, it actually did taste of octopus, lucky me!

Salad. With some token ponzu dressing. In this case, this was fairly sapid so I felt quite sad at this wasted chance to show how good ponzu salad dressing could be. Oh, those days back in Tokyo continue to haunt me.

Teriyaki salmon. Pretty decent together with slivers of courgettes, pak choi and rather larger broccoli. The courgette slivers were particularly nice, slathered as they were in the teriyaki sauce. The courgette was nicely flavourful as soaking up the sauce. The broccoli seemed the wrong side of cooked. Raw mini-trees aren’t really my thing.

Salmon sashimi, prawn sushi, yellow tail sushi. Sadly rather tasteless, the sashimi and sushi was something that made me sad as they all kind of tasted the same. Perhaps they should have been sent on some diversity training, you kind of want things to taste different.

Coconut, vanilla, sesame and mango mochi. These were actually decent with bouncy skins covering ice cream fillings inside. My friend who is lactose intolerant gifted me with all of the above so I greedily stuffed down a double portion of these little things which were probably the best thing of the meal. Sadly, that is saying quite alot.

In the end, I enjoyed my meal here especially as the place was rather empty. It was about 10% full for a Saturday lunch. No matter, its desertification made up somewhat for the lackluster food. Maybe they were all too scared of the tsunami to come to Tsunami. No matter, I suspect that it may aptly be wiped from the face of the earth soon if it keeps going like this.

A quiet eating 7/10.

Lunch (bento box, tea, dessert and sushi roll) was GBP50 excluding other drinks and service.
