> They're alike, aren't they...
> "Yes. I like putting the fish in the middle of rice, or rice balls, and grilling or baking them that way. Also, you should try soaking rice in different fruit juices and cooking it. I even tried freezing it once. You can do it with bread or meat."

> You let Konngara use a stool so she can reach the sink. You let her dry the dishes as you wash them, but you don't let her handle the knives.
> Needless to say, she isn't very talkative. After a few minutes, she glances over at you.

I'm honestly feeling terrible about doing this. Attempting to subconciously manipulate Konngara, I mean, even if it's well meaning.

> You smile weakly and put away the dishes and stool. The two of you head back to where Kogasa and Kikuri are, but Konngara keeps going until she's outside.
> Kogasa takes one look at your face and asks, "You okay?"
> Kikuri doesn't say anything and starts to glide out of the room.

> "Thank you for allowing myself and Kogasa to dine with you. Your hospitality was most appreciated, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to do so again."
> Bow, and leave the shrine.
