Kagetsu: Ah…hunger has struck. Perfect time for onigiri.
Bunet: Kagetsu.
Kagetsu: Oh! Bunet! How did you appear so suddenly?
Bunet: Those little food triangles. Onigiri, you called them.
Bunet: I’ve never seen one before. What are they made of?
Kagetsu: Try one for yourself. Have mine.
Bunet: Are you sure? Well, all right, then.
Bunet: Mmm… It’s delicious!
Bunet: A ball of rice, lightly salted and wrapped in seaweed. And, and…um…grilled fish, yes?
Kagetsu: Yes! Salted salmon!
Bunet: I see. By all appearances, the simplest of foods, yet it contains hidden depths of flavor.
Bunet: Please, teach me how to make this.
Kagetsu: It would be my pleasure. However, I have obligations to Princess Ivy as her retainer.
Kagetsu: If I set aside my duty to teach you onigiri, she will be displeased.
Bunet: Ah. Disappointing, but I understand.
Bunet: In that case, I will master the art of making onigiri on my own.
Kagetsu: I admire your passion! Tell me when you are done, and I will provide your taste test.
Bunet: Naturally. I will rely on you to judge whether I am capturing the food’s essence.

Bunet: Kagetsu! It is time.
Kagetsu: What for?
Bunet: Did you forget?
Bunet: Since we last spoke, I have been absorbed in the art of making onigiri.
Bunet: I experimented with ingredients, rice-density levels… For days, I thought of nothing else.
Bunet: Finally, after all that toil, I made this.
Kagetsu: Oooh… It looks very good.
Kagetsu: But more important than how it looks is what it contains. Tell me the ingredients inside!
Bunet: I used dates, harvested fresh from a date palm. Something of a Solmic specialty.
Kagetsu: Date palm? That is eccentric. I do not know this ingredient.
Bunet: Give it a try.
Kagetsu: I will indeed!
Kagetsu: Hm. Hm. Hmm…
Kagetsu: Sweetness is unexpected for onigiri… But not unwelcome! The rice takes well to it.
Bunet: Doesn’t it? I went through much trial and error before landing on dates.
Kagetsu: Yes, it is delicious! Very good. However…
Kagetsu: It is flavored more like ohagi.
Bunet: Like what?!
Bunet: Are you saying that something like this already exists?
Kagetsu: Yes! Ohagi is when sweet rice is rolled up and covered with red bean paste.
Bunet: Oh…
Bunet: So, in short…this is not an onigiri.
Kagetsu: No, no! The shape is very accurate to onigiri!
Bunet: But it tastes like an ohagi.
Bunet: I appreciate your kind words, but I will not settle for missing the mark.
Bunet: My culinary knowledge is lacking. Who knows how many dishes have escaped my notice?
Bunet: Excuse me. I must go study.
Kagetsu: Your onigiri was delicious, and yet you remain so eager to learn more…

A Support:

Kagetsu: I am curious, Bunet. What motivates you to learn so many new foods?
Bunet: I wish to become a poet of the plate.
Bunet: To me, that means expressing my vision with the broadest possible vocabulary of flavors.
Bunet: I thought I was well on my way to fluency in all existing culinary languages, but alas…
Bunet: I didn’t even know…about ohagi.
Kagetsu: …
Kagetsu: We are very much alike, it seems.
Bunet: What? How do you mean?
Kagetsu: I left my home in search of knowledge about the world at large.
Kagetsu: Seeking out strong opponents to fight has been my way to experience new horizons.
Kagetsu: At Elusia Castle, I had my first encounter with true defeat. And that is when I realized…
Kagetsu: The ones I fought there were very strong. But so many other strong ones await me still.
Bunet: Hm. Our situations do seem similar.
Bunet: You wish to become the world’s best fighter, just as I wish to become the world’s best chef.
Kagetsu: I have been fortunate to become retainer to Princess Ivy. This position is teaching me much.
Kagetsu: I am now able to see that it is not necessary for me to meet every strong opponent there is.
Kagetsu: I cannot hope to know everything. What I can do is focus on mastering my own skill.
Bunet: How wise. I wonder if I will ever be able to adopt your accepting attitude.
Kagetsu: …
Kagetsu: Bunet, I have decided. I will contribute to your path toward mastery.
Kagetsu: If you wish it, I will tell you all that I know of cuisine in my culture.
Kagetsu: Pale Sands lives in isolation, so there may be no other way for you to study it.
Bunet: That sounds wonderful, but…you said you were busy with your retainer duties.
Kagetsu: But you and I are friends. And I can always make time for friendship!
Bunet: Thank you, Kagetsu.
Bunet: I will pay you back in onigiri.
Bunet: The proper kind this time. Made with salted fish and seaweed.
Kagetsu: Yes, but be sure to include ones with dates as well. They were delicious too!
Bunet: Hahaha, as you wish. Prepare to have your mouth water.
Bunet: I am looking forward to learning more about your culture.
