| Kaoru: |
Well, Kenshin cooks all of the time, he needs a break once in awhile. |
| Yahiko: |
Yeah, and since Kaoru can't cook, and trying makes her grouchy,
what choice do we have? |
| Kaoru: |
Yahiko!! |
| Megumi: |
I can cook. Rather well, I might add. Oh ho ho
ho ho~! |
| Kaoru: |
Not in my kitchen, you can't. |
| Kenshin: |
Yare, yare. Apparently Megumi-dono's cooking also makes Kaoru-dono
grouchy. |
| Kaoru: |
Kenshin!! |
| Yahiko: |
Hey, I thought we were supposed to be explaining why we eat out
at the Akabeko, not listing the things that annoy ugly. We'll be
here all day if we're gonna do that. |
| Kaoru: |
(Waving her bokutou menacingly while Kenshin holds her back)
I think you better just shut up, Yahiko. |
| Kenshin: |
Maa, maa. So, all right, the first reason we eat out is to
give me a break, right? |
| Kaoru: |
(Suddenly cute and calm again) Hai! You really do work
too hard, Kenshin! |
| Kenshin: |
<sweatdrop> |
| Yahiko: |
Oi, Sano! Don't you have anything to say? |
| Sano: |
It's free. |
| Kaoru: |
It is not! You owe Tae-san a fortune! |
| Megumi: |
What do you think, Ken-san? |
| Kenshin: |
Oro? Well... I think we eat there when we need information
about the current plot line. |
| Sano: |
Yeah, I've noticed that, too. Whenever we can't figure out
what's going on, we go to the Akabeko, Tae fills us in on the latest gossip,
and bang everything makes sense. |
| Megumi: |
Bang? |
| Sano: |
What, you think I look like the type to say voila? |
| Kenshin: |
He has a point, Megumi-dono. |
| Megumi: |
Hmmmph! |
| Kaoru: |
Yahiko-chan likes to eat there because he gets to flirt with
Tsubame-chan. |
| Yahiko: |
(Ears faintly red with embarrassment) Oh yeah? Well you
like to eat there because running into the thug-of-the-week lets you
work off some of your unable-to-cook irritation. And don't call me
-chan! |
| Kaoru: |
Quit making fun of my cooking! |
| Sano: |
I still say it's because the food is free. |
| Kenshin: |
Sano... |
| Kaoru: |
It is not free! And besides, you've already said that. |
| Megumi: |
The raccoon girl is right, for once. It's not free. |
| Kaoru: |
Megumi-san!! |
| Megumi: |
Oh ho ho ho ho~! |
| Kenshin: |
Maa, maa... calm down you two. Kaoru-dono, what other reasons
do you have for eating out at the Akabeko? |
| Kaoru: |
Atashi? Well, um... it tastes good? |
| Yahiko: |
Damn straight! Much better than anything you've ever made. |
| Kaoru: |
YA-HI-KO!! |
| Megumi: |
Don't get mad at the boy for telling the truth. |
| Kenshin: |
Yare, yare... here we go again. |
| Sano: |
It's free. |
