Somebody suggested this, once, a long time ago … for that matter, I referred to the possibility in a slightly more recent posting:
“No, thank you, Landlady-san.” I’d more-or-less adopted Tina’s term for Aoi, I’m not sure why, but translated into English just to be, well, me. It seemed like a tradition in this household, anyway, that everyone had a somewhat different name for Aoi, and for Kaoru as well.
I rose from the table and bowed to her. Aoi comes closer to Belldandy’s level than most other cooks I’ve met, and with a few dishes she’s, not necessarily better, but just as good in a different style. If they could somehow exchange recipes … no, bad idea; the universes might be shattered by that much culinary excellence all in one place.
I had too much to do this evening, though, to sit quietly and give the meal the reverent attention it deserved. Between hints I got out of him without his realizing it, and things Aoi and Miyabi had mentioned, I’d finally put together the whole ugly story behind those scars all over Kaoru’s back. It was time and past time for Grandfather Hanabishi to learn that wasn’t behavior he could get away with any longer, no matter how much of Japan he owned….
