Hello... you've reached Chihiro Fujisaki. I apologize for missing you, but, um... please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

[O-Oh...a popular couples holiday. Of course it is, that's just the theme today, isn't it? Well to Komasan's misfortune, he still has his filter turned off, which only means he can only ask more embarrassing questions.]

S-So...would you like to try it, z-zura?

[But just because he has no filter, doesn't mean he can't sound nervous as hell.]

L-Like go on a date and see what happens, z-zura...?

[Oh is right. It's clear that Komasan's brain-to-mouth filter is virtually nonexistent right now, but even then...that still manages to surprise Chihiro as he turns the water off, looking over at Komasan over his shoulder with his face starting to grow red again.]

A-ah...

[He pauses for a moment before quickly walking back over to the counter, though he doesn't start cutting the onions right away.]

I...I wouldn't mind.

[Just to see what happens. Right?]

[...Komasan isn't sure how to feel. Happy is certainly in there, surprise's thrown in there for good measure, but mostly he's concerned. If it wasn't for whatever the heck's going on, he'd never have the nerves to get that far.]

M-Monge...

[Stop it, focus.]

I-I mean, great! It'll...it'll be fun, zura...

[BACK TO SOUP MAKING.]

I think so, too.

[He agrees before finally getting to work, trying his best to keep his own nervous tremor out of his voice. This was really happening. But...Komasan is his friend, and a 'date' didn't necessarily have to mean anything more than friends spending the day together. And the thought of it really is...well, fun. And he's spent a lot of time with Komasan already, and it's been enjoyable. What would make that any different?

...well, by then he might be a little less loose-lipped, maybe.]
