[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, and this time she's sharing the spotlight with... a table full of fresh vegetables? Still a bit dirty, fresh from the soil, good ol' vegetables... That Konoha bows over to start out.]

Hello, everyone! My name is Konoha... I'm a jinba, or a "centaur" if you want... I'm from Echigo in Japan, but lots of people say I'm from the past...

[She's just going to do the same introduction every time, counting off details on her fingers to make sure she gets all the good points... there's too many people on this thing and she doesn't check it enough to keep track... oops. Anyway-]

I wanted to ask people some questions about food! My husband and I have set up a little farmstead, but the crops are growing, um, way faster than they really ought to be... [we're just going to speed past the blush] and it's not like we actually have to work for money here, so I was thinking of not just taking the crops to market but... serving meals at the house? Or sending them to people elsewhere in the city? I don't know, but I've met a lot of people here who said they just eat food from the stores, and I know those are really convenient, but it can't be better than a home cooked meal, can it?


[Look at this big turnip! Isn't it healthy looking?! Don't you just want to eat it?? Konoha smiles, making the root vegetable dance around the screen.]

So... can I ask you some questions about what sort of food you like? Or what kind of things you miss from your home? Maybe what they make in your country with vegetables? If you give me some of your time, I'll send you some fresh ones as a "thank you"-

Promise!

[One last bow... and she and the turnip sign off.]

There are way more unmarried men here than I expected... do you go to the store and buy the miro waved foods, too?

Someone told me those aren't that good for you... Though they are super easy...

[zhaoyunlanmadeajournal]

Aha, you caught me redhanded.

It's fine, it's fine. I've lived so far. [ says the man that has chronic digestive issues. ]

[lumberlady]

There’s more than just surviving, you know! If you can eat good food, your life is way better! You can wake up every day like “what delicious thing will I eat today”!

[zhaoyunlanmadeajournal]

Haha, you're pretty passionate about this kind of thing, aren't you? You're husband must be happy and spoilt.

[lumberlady]

Of course I am! I've always wanted to have a husband to spoil, and now I get to do it in this place with all sorts of fancy things that make it even easier to do.

Like the micro wave!

But you can't only use those, you need to use your hands, too!

[zhaoyunlanmadeajournal]

It makes me glad my future wife is here with me to keep me spoiled. I only started eating well after I met him.

Ah. But I should probably learn to cook a little better to be more equal, right?

[lumberlady]

Your future wife? Or your future husband?

[Wait, she's confused. If it's a "him"... ?]

I don't think you both have to cook... unless you want to! Or... they want you? I do all the cooking!

[zhaoyunlanmadeajournal]

[ She's right to be confused. But he can't help but call Shen Wei his wife as a tease. ]

Ehehe, I guess 'husband' is more appropriate but I like the sound of 'wife' for him since he's a real beauty. It's cute, right?

Hmm, I've never been good at it but I think it'd make him happy, even though I don't mind staying lazy.

[lumberlady]

Well, if he's prettier and does the cooking I guess he is the "wife"?

[That is how that works, right? She's learning a lot in these other worlds.]

Then you should do it like a surprise! But only as long as you can cook neatly and make delicious food, otherwise it's just a pain... and the wife has to clean it up.

[zhaoyunlanmadeajournal]

See? It makes sense now, right?

Ah.... that's true. Finding a place to practice in secret would be a pain in the ass...

[lumberlady]

I get it!

[Definitely not the sort of thing that would fly in her own world, she thinks, but... she's heard more about it in these other places. She gets it!! Maybe!!!]

If you need a lesson I can give you one?
