[messianic]

[...?]

Why's that?

[Are you poor, son.]

[bufudyne]

I do not have a large income.

[He poor.]

[messianic]

[Poor boy...... not that Minato doesn't understand, as the Scholarship Orphan Child. In this they are the same.]

... But you still need to eat.

[Suddenly he's worried.]

Are you sure you've been okay?

[bufudyne]

[Scholarship orphan buddies!]

Yes, of course I have.

[Is he saying that... he may honestly believe it to be true. I mean he's fine??]

[messianic]

[Well.

He feels Doubt.png but]

Okay then... let's grab some food for now then.

[bufudyne]

This way.

[HE SHALL LEAD.

Back to Bluo!!]

[messianic]

[Back to Bluo!!!

At which point they probably fail to find any food in Yusuke's house and have to go to Minato's.

Whoops.

It's fine, probably.]

[bufudyne]

[It's true. They'll get into Yusuke's place, he'll grandly open up cupboards in search of food and--]

Ah.

...I'm sorry, it looks like we don't have anything at all.

[messianic]

[... YUSUKE...

And, slowly and carefully:]

Kitagawa-san... maybe we should focus on stocking up your kitchen...

[bufudyne]

...Yes. I think that you are correct.

[HE'S DRAGGING MINATO ALL OVER THE PLACE.

He places his fingers dramatically against his temple.]

I don't wish to trouble you. I can search for food, if you have other things you need to be doing.

[messianic]

[..... Yusuke...]

No, it's fine. I'm kind of concerned you won't actually end up finding food if I go...

[What if Yusuke gets distracted again...?]

I'll help out.

[bufudyne]

...

Thank you. However, please let me know if there is something I can do for you in return.

[he'll draw you a pic minato]

[messianic]

[pls draw him a pic, he would treasure it.]

I'll let you know, don't worry. [Spoilers: He Will Not.]

If we go into the fringes of the woods, we can find some berries and things.

[bufudyne]

[cmon minato]

Then that should be our first stop. I shall get a container.

[So they can go berry picking. He'll even grab one for Minato, they can split the LOOT.]

[messianic]

[hell yeah LOOT.]

Sounds good. We can start there, and then maybe look for onions and peppers and potatoes and things too.

[Real food!!]

[bufudyne]

Ah, that would be good. We could make a solid meal with plenty of ingredients.

[He still misses like the luxuries from home, but...

You know...]

[messianic]

[Yeah... Minato misses them too.

He sighs, and gives words to that thought, in fact--]

I wish we had rice.

[RICE...]

[bufudyne]

I do as well... no matter what one tries to substitute, it is not the same without rice.

[TIME TO MOURN VERY SOLEMNLY FOR THEIR LACK OF RICE

WOE]

[messianic]

[WOE.]

We could make so many more meals if we just had that... but I wouldn't really know the first thing about growing it.

[bufudyne]

Nor do I. All I know is that rice fields are very pleasing to look at at the right time of year...

[...but not how to grow the thing. "It's pretty" does not help with growing food.]

[messianic]

Pleasing...?

[Hold on, he's being derailed.]

Is it?

[bufudyne]

Yes. I have only seen pictures of certain kinds, but they are reminiscent of clear, still ponds... yet broken into rows where the rice is planted.

Sometimes they look no different from a regular field, yet you get close enough and you see the reflection of sun on the water in-between the greenery...

[very #aesthetic]

[messianic]

[... Huh. When Yusuke talks like this, it makes Minato feel like--]

... I guess there's a lot I still haven't noticed.

[About the world in general, really...]

Especially about things that I still need to see.

[bufudyne]

I think it is easy to miss beauty in the day-to-day, with the lifestyle many of us lead.

[The busy human lifestyle... it's in human nature to overlook what one may see as normal or mundane, but there's so much to be seen too, Yusuke thinks.]

[messianic]

[...Huh.]

That's a pretty wise way to look at it.

[Honestly...]

I wonder what other sorts of things I've missed by not paying attention...?

[Like how the cherry blossoms looked--that was something he'd always wanted to see again, so he could commit it to memory this time, and not take it for granted.]
