Mozu: Hmm...guess that's all there is to do here. Time for a break!

Saizo: You over there, plowing the field.

Mozu: Oh, hey, Saizo! It's me, Mozu.

Saizo: It looks like you're starting a new crop. What do you intend to grow?

Mozu: All kinds of stuff! This is the right kind of soil for root vegetables, like taters. Might get some pumpkins and carrots to grow here, too.

Saizo: Hm. Well, if there's anything I can do to help, come find me.

Mozu: You like working the fields too, Saizo?

Saizo: Igasato, where I come from, was in the mountains. We had to be self-sufficient. In addition to our training, we were often called on to help with the crops.

Mozu: No fooling? I'm glad there's at least one person I have that in common with!

Saizo: Planting all of these is a big job for one woman. If you need help, tell me and I'll gather a crew for you.

Mozu: Thanks, Saizo! I just might take you up on that.

Saizo: I hope that you do.

Saizo: This food is delicious, Mozu.

Mozu: Aw, you're just flattering me. Anyone in my village could've whipped this up.

Saizo: You're being too modest. It has a warm flavor to it that I miss.

Mozu: Is it close to the food back home for you?

Saizo: Yes. Simple and lightly seasoned, but good on the tongue. Most food in the Hoshidan capital has a heavier flavor. I prefer this.

Mozu: You can say that again! I thought the same thing, about all the heavy food around there.

Saizo: I guess country folk just do things differently. Would you mind if I came here for dinner again sometime?

Mozu: Help yourself! When those veggies start ripening, I'll whip something up with them too.

Saizo: I'll make a special trip for that.

Mozu: Well, harvest time is a ways off, so it could be a while yet. Farming is slow and steady work, you know. But yeah, come for dinner anytime!

Saizo: My compliments to the chef.

Saizo: Mmmm...another fine meal, Mozu.

Mozu: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

Saizo: I know I've been coming here for dinner more often, and I'm sorry for that. It's just that your cooking reminds me so much of home.

Mozu: Heehee! If you like it that much, you can eat it for every meal for all I care! Hey, I got an idea! What's your favorite dish? I'll make some for you.

Saizo: Hm?

Mozu: C'mon, what do you REALLY wanna eat?

Saizo: I'll eat anything, so long as it isn't sweet. But if I had to pick, I'd say boiled riverfish.

Mozu: That's all?

Saizo: Well, we had a particular way of cooking them in my village. Riverfish is so plain on its own that we mixed it with spices and mushrooms.

Mozu: Hmm...that could be tough to fix.

Saizo: A bit. It was saved for when the whole family got together to eat.

Mozu: OK then! I'm not too confident I can get it right, but I'll give it my best shot!

Saizo: Really? This should be interesting.

Mozu: Heehee, you can say that again. All right now, shoo, so I can get to work!

Saizo: Mmm... This is delicious.

Mozu: R-really? Phew...

Saizo: However. It's not quite the way I remember it from my village.

Mozu: Aww, no fooling? I'm real sorry, Saizo. I thought I had it right...

Saizo: Oh, it's still very good. Just...lacking a certain...ah, of course! There's a type of seasoning only found where I come from. You didn't have that, which is why this doesn't taste quite right.

Mozu: Really? What seasoning is this?

Saizo: I don't know much about it. It's derived from a plant that's native to the region.

Mozu: Huh! How about that. I'd love to see your village someday, if we ever get the chance.

Saizo: How about the next time I go?

Mozu: Huh? You sure I'd be welcome?

Saizo: I don't see why not. They should meet the woman I'm going to marry.

Mozu: Wh...WHAT?!

Saizo: Ah, right. I meant to ask you. Mozu, will you be my wife?

Mozu: Buh... Whu... I don't know how to feel about this! Happy, I guess, but...!

Saizo: I feel that we have a lot in common. I can feel our relationship growing, little by little.

Mozu: Yeah, I know what you mean. Truth is, I have had a crush on you too, Saizo.

Saizo: You do?

Mozu: I surely do. So yeah! Let's go meet your kinfolk sometime soon!

Saizo: When we do, I invite you to think of it as your home—and my people as your people. You may have lost one home, but I would be honored to provide another for you.

Mozu: Aw, Saizo... I'm about to bust out crying. I thought I'd never have a home again... *sniff*

Saizo: It's all right, Mozu. I won't let you feel lonely again. If nothing else, you'll always have me.

Mozu: I love you, Saizo...
