Ishitsumugi no Shou 18-4N

A warm place - 4

[Inubouzaki house]

Its: And here I was thinking the cooler box was oddly big...

Fuu: To think you'd bring an elusive longtooth grouper! Whew, it smells delicious!

Nat: Even the smaller ones are big, so I put it down and chopped it up...

Shi: Longtooth grouper... That's the fish Kagajou wanted to gift to Fuu that time but gave up on... Amazing.

Chi: With this much, we might not be able to eat all of it.

Fuu: Heh heh heh. You think so? Foolish! Time to eat!

Its: Ah! Everyone hurry up, or Onee-chan will eat all of it!

Chi: Yamabushi-san, I split it into portions, so eat this.

Nat: Horse mackerel fish balls are good... Here, Shizuku. These are butter-fried abalones... Eat them too.

Shi: T-Time to eat, then... *nom*

Its: Shizuku-san, how is it?

Shi: ...It's delicious. It's really delicious and... warm.

Fuu: Mhm! Taste is justice! The rest of you eat up too! *omnomnom*

Chi/Nat/Its: Time to eat!

Its: *nom* These scallops are so sweet and tasty! And the turban shells are irresistibly crunchy!

Chi: Yeah, and the sashimi is fresh and delicious. All thanks to you, Kohagura-san.

Nat: It's fine... I'm glad we all got to eat together.

Its: Shizuku-san, Shizuku-san! Let's take a bath after we finish eating! And then have ice cream!

Shi: Eh? Bath... All together?

Fuu: No, that's obviously impossible. You and Shizuku come in first.

Fuu: After that we'll watch a movie while eating dessert and then sleep huddled together on the futons in the living room!

Nat: Sounds good... Let's watch a movie about sharks.

Fuu: Not a chance! That's definitely a scary one, right!?

Shi: Um... Why am I... staying here for the night?

Its: Shizuku-san, you're one of our honourary sisters, starting today!

Shi: Honourary... sister?

Chi: I'm the same... The Inubouzaki family just keeps growing.

Shi: Family... But you're not connected by blood.

Nat: That's nothing.

Shi: Is... it?

Nat: Yeah... In this world, might as well think of this as a real family...

Shi: This... as a real...

Shi: Um!

Fuu: Hm? What's wrong, Shizuku? Full already?

Shi: Is it okay... if I... come back again...?

Fuu: Obviously! Come on, eat up! Want seconds?

Shi: ...I do, thanks.
