[Good morning, Lunatia. The video starts with a view of hooves, a too close view of a face... and then finally... a centaur? Who keeps looking off screen while she talks and never seems to actually focus on the lens correctly.]

Hello? Can everyone see me? Connor, am I doing this right? Okay? ... Okay.

[She clears her throat and dips into a bow, the camera bobbing along with her.]

Hello! This is Konoha... some of you maybe think my name is Shizu, but- It's Konoha! I'm from Echigo province, in Japan, if you know it... and I'll be in your care.

If you don't know me, which, I figure is most of you, this city must be even bigger than the capital I'm the... well in my world we say jinba but I'm the "centaur". I haven't seen anyone else like me so I think I can say "the"...

Anyway... what I wanted to ask was... if anyone had an recommendations for... shops? I've never really shopped before, and I haven't seen any locals quite like me, so if you know somewhere that does... I don't know, tailoring? Or a restaurant with really big seats or tall tables? Anything like that!

I'd appreciate it, so... thank you very much!

[Another bow, another bob of the camera... and a blurry flash of android helping her turn the dang thing off. Thanks, Connor.]

A dozen? It's not... rare?

[shocked as only someone from a time a mere thirty or so years since konpeito reached Japan...]

[jiyuujin]

They've come quite a long way to simplify the process of making it over the years. Shall I also procure some Castella?

[Now he's just having fun with this.]

[lumberlady]

Castera...

[way to just blow her mind???]]

Is that the... the golden sweet from the south? I've never even seen one- That one isn't rare here either?

[jiyuujin]

That's right. I'm particularly fond a version they make overseas with honey.

[How's that for being bougie.]

[lumberlady]

With honey... ? That sounds so sweet...

[/SUPER IMPRESSED???]

[jiyuujin]

[Yeah well someone has a sweet tooth.]

It complements the tea.

[But that's the story he's sticking to!]

[lumberlady]

That must be some good tea, then!

[Real bitter = real good, right? Her peasant is showing.]

[jiyuujin]

[Flawless logic tbh. He'd approve.]

I suppose you'll just have to see for yourself when you stop by.

[lumberlady]

I definitely will! Promise!
