Shinonome & Kinu C-S

Shinonome: Something smells really good...
Kinu: Ah, Shinonome!
Shinonome: Kinu... is that chicken you have there?
Kinu: Yupp! I caught it in the forest just now! I'm grilling it right now to eat!
Shinonome: Oh, so that's where the nice smell is coming from... it's kind of making me hungry...
Kinu: Ah, then would you like to have some, Shinonome?
Shinonome: Eh? Is that all right?
Kinu: Yeah! Delicious food becomes even more delicious when you share it with someone! Here, take this! It's nicely grilled!
Shinonome: Thanks, Kinu! Well then...
Kinu: Hm? What're you looking around for?
Shinonome: Well, you can't have yakitori without sauce, right? So I'm trying to see if I can find any.
Kinu: Eeeeeeh?! You're really gonna have it with sauuuuceee?!
Shinonome: Woah! Don't shout!
Kinu: I can't believe you'd eat with sauce! You eat yakitori with salt!
Shinonome: Huh? No no no! Yakitori goes so damn well with sauce! If you coat it with sauce, then you'll be able to enjoy your rice as well.
Kinu: No way! Salt brings out the flavor of the meat, so my way is definitely better!
Shinonome: *grumble*
Kinu: Boo, boo!
Shinonome: I understand. If it's come to this, then let's make it a match.
Kinu: A match?
Shinonome: Yeah. I'll go grab some sauce, and then we'll eat together and compare the two!
Kinu: Hmph, fine! But I think it's definitely better with salt.
Shinonome: That's my line! All right, you're on!
Kinu: Do your worst!

B

Shinonome: Now, Kinu! I've brought some sauce with me today! So let's compare how we eat yakitori.
Kinu: All right! It's on! But salt will definitely win!
Shinonome: Are you sure about that? Now then, we'll put the salt and sauce on the yakitori...
Kinu: *munch munch*
Shinonome: *munch munch*
Kinu: !
Shinonome: T, this is...!
Kinu: ... This sauce, it's slightly sweet and delicious! I feel like I could end up just licking the sauce off!
Shinonome: Heh... this is my favorite sauce. The other day, one of the cooks in town I've gotten to know let me in on his secret sauce recipe!
Kinu: I didn't know it was so delicious with sauce...
Shinonome: Even so, it really goes well with salt too. Just like you said, it really brings out the flavor of the meat. This might not be so bad...
Kinu: Ah, right, right?! Then it's my win!
Shinonome: Wha?! That's unrelated! My sauce still hasn't lost!
Kinu: Eh! But you just said it was delicious! Are you a liar, Shinonome?!
Shinonome: Th, that's not what I meant! What I was trying to say was... well, it's great with salt as well but sauce is still the best. Anyway... why are there so many different seasonings in the first place...?
Kinu: Eh?
Shinonome: When I told my dad about this he said 'you have yuzukoshō* with yakitori' or something...
Kinu: Yuzukoshō?
Shinonome: Yeah. That's what he said, and then he insisted I take some.
Kinu: I... I want to try eating it with yuzukoshō!
Shinonome: Huh? I guess I don't mind...? Here, it's this stuff. Try eating it.
Kinu: Mhm, thanks! *munch munch*
Shinonome: Still, sauce is definitely the best. I won't back down on that...
Kinu: ! This is really delicious!!
Shinonome: Hm?
Kinu: The yuzukoshō! It's really tasty! Here, you try it too, Shinonome!
Shinonome: Mphh! *munch*!! You, don't just shove it in my mouth like that!
Kinu: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! But isn't it delicious?
Shinonome: ?! It really is... it's got a different feel from the sauce or salt, it feels like I could get addicted to this taste. Yeah, but then could this mean...
Kinu: That yuzukoshō might be the best seasoning!
Shinonome: Huh?! N, no way!

Shinonome: Hey, Kinu. There really are some things you can't figure without trying lots of different foods...
Kinu: Mhm. I was really surprised by the yuzukoshō when we had yakitori the other day...
Shinonome: Yeah, I was completely unaware of it... and it was that delicious...
Kinu: Is Ryouma into "gastronomy"? Is what I thought. 'cause I've never eaten something like that before! Trying out lots of different things and seeing how the flavor changes really is fun and interesting! Thanks to that, I like yakitori even more now!
Shinonome: Haha, I'm glad.
Kinu: This is all thanks to you and Ryouma! That's why we should try even more dishes next time!
Shinonome: Yeah, that's a good idea. What should we try next time...
Kinu: Mhm... ah!! Let's have omelettes!
Shinonome: Huh? Omelettes?
Kinu: Yeah! Recently, I've been having a lot of fun frying eggs!
Shinonome: I see... well, all right. Then I'll bring some soy sauce.
Kinu: Eh? Soy sauce?
Shinonome: Well, you have soy sauce with omelettes, right?
Kinu: Eeh!? You definitely have salt with omelettes!
Shinonome: It's definitely soy sauce!
Kinu: It's definitely salt!
Shinonome: *grumble grumble*
Kinu: *grumble grumble*
Shinonome: ... Anyways, we'll try it next time...!
Kinu: R, right... let's do that!

Shinonome: Hey, Kinu! Have you eaten yet? If not, I thought maybe we could eat together...
Kinu: Oh, Shinonome! Mhm, let's eat together!
Shinonome: Ever since we squared of, we've ended up eating together a lot more.
Kinu: Yupp! When I'm having dinner together with you, it's somehow even more fun than usual! Ehehe, when we eat together like this it's almost like we're family!
Shinonome: Ah...
Kinu: ... What's wrong, Shinonome?
Shinonome: Nothing. It's just that I've kind of been thinking the same thing. So...
Kinu: What's the matter, Shinonome?
Shinonome: Hey, Kinu... if you'd like, how about you become part of my family?
Kinu: Eh?
Shinonome: Like I said... I'm asking if you want to be my wife.
Kinu: Eh... eeh?!
Shinonome: You don't have to be so suprised, do you? Spending time with you has become something irreplacable to me. So if you feel the same way, Kinu, then I thought maybe we could become family...
Kinu: I see... so you've fallen in love with me, Shinonome.
Shinonome: Y, you don't have to say it out loud! I, it's embarassing.
Kinu: Fufu! Don't worry! I love you too, Shinonome!
Shinonome: ... Really?!
Kinu: Yupp! It's really fun being with you, and you're the only one I can have a good time with even when we fight! I really want to be with you!
Shinonome: Is that so... I'm glad.
Kinu: Ehehe, are you happy?
Shinonome: Yeah, I'm really happy! Well then, from now on let's always eat together!
Kinu: Yeah!
