"I've never had Korean c-cuisine..." Haruka said sadly. "I-It's not very popular where I live. We eat mostly traditional Japanese food and some western food I learned to cook when I was younger." She pondered what Korean rice cakes might be like, but paled when she heard they were spicy...

Haruka was surprised when the woman hugged her back, but was relieved by it all the same. She gave a gentle pat on Juniper's back, smiling shyly when she let go and got steady on her feet. "S-Sorry about that. I can be pretty clumsy..." Her hands clasped together in delightful applause. "It's...

Haruka had a bit of a confused expression. "I-I meant plain mochi... T-They're a type of rice cake. V-Very soft, and g-good for lots of things. Y-You can put all sorts of fillings in it though, I suppose. I was mostly th-thinking of making zoni when the new year arrives. It's soup with mochi and...

Haruka didn't know about Yu's policy about learning the culture that surrounded a dish. If he'd told her, she'd probably have giggled a bit- not at him, of course, but in pleasure that someone cared so much for her homeland's cultural integrity. "I've never made sushi," she thought to herself...

Haruka hadn't realized she messed up her greeting yet. No, she thought she added the 'mi' at the end, completely unaware she forgot it. Honestly, she was beginning to think lately that she should have just made her given name her username as well, instead of adding the 'mi' to make her name...

Harukami was a bit jealous of Morpheus. He was older and wiser, and even knew how to hide his panic well! For Haruka, her panic always showed in her voice and actions. There was also the matter her anxiety was almost always turned on- this man seemed to have it all together to Haruka, even if he...

Haruka was trying to remember something. Where was she going again? She knew where she was, of course- she was in Stokbon, the capital of the country she tended to stay in, Falderen. She was pretty sure she'd come here to look for interesting cooking ingredients, there was just one little...

"Even the countryside has internet nowadays, you know?" Haruka explained, thinking that was the problem. "It may be a little slower but..." Her brain finally cliked that the woman may not have meant 'how do you access it now', but rather, 'how did you even find out about it'. Laughing nervously...

Haruka couldn't help a slight giggle that escaped her lips. "Haru-chan is adorable!" She chimed, clasping her hands together. She meant it, too- the woman's energy level was endearing, and her excitement warmed Haruka's heart just to witness. A soft blush found its way onto her cheeks as she...

"I-I'm honestly s-surprised he calmed down with me," Haruka admitted. "W-When I first saw him, I thought my b-beast arts were what helped, but when he was in my lap, I realized I was wrong." Haruka took a deep breath before standing on her feet again, dusting off her skirt and smiling faintly...

Haruka listened to the ramblings of the old man carefully. Some of the information went straight through one ear and out the other, but most of it was retained in a confused manner. For a few moments, Haruka simply stared at Morpheus, wondering how her grandfather could be so wise, yet so...

Haruka giggled a bit at his joke, unaware it was a joke. She took it quite literally. "M-Maybe I can teach you sometime?" Sure, she had a stutter and a bad memory, but she was a pretty good teacher when she remembered what she was doing. "C-Cooking can be complicated, but..." He then began...

It wasn't until she felt the shadow in her lap that she realized it wasn't an actual, living puppy. What is this interesting creature? She pondered, but it didn't last for long. Its master had come over to check on it and admit her ownership. She even thanked Haruka for her (not very hard) work...

She felt lucky Brutus was so calm and kind. She didn't know many men like that- then again, she didn't know many men in general, in the real world. Sure, she went to school with some, but she didn't really know any of them. They were acquaintances. An acquaintance didn't teach you to wield fire...

Haruka was lurking a small town's marketplace for interesting ingredients. Well, she was now. Honestly, the woman couldn't remember why she'd been there in the first place anymore. But, this was common for Harukami. She'd forget her own head if it weren't attached. But while she had a bad...

Haruka's smile warmed up slightly as he mentioned trying to make new things with each other. Was she perhaps making a new friend? The thought made her happy, so she got a slight skip in her step as they moved on in their grocery shopping. "My r-repertoire is mostly traditional Japanese foods...

"Ah, I see!" A soft giggle escaped her as she smiled. "Thank you. I've learned something new." Haruka was a bit calmer now that she was learning something. Her studious side tried to repeat the information over and over in her head, to the point her stutter seemed to vanish mysteriously for a...

Haruka smiled sheepishly. So, she was normal to worry about understanding herself? That was great news to the girl who always felt threatened by her unusual nature. His conversation point was appreciated, until she got confused by a small bit of wording. "W-Wait, waxing philosophy? L-Like waxing...

"P-People place bets on such dark thoughts!?" Harukami chirped in surprise. People were sickening sometimes. Didn't people know to respect their elders? And that death wasn't just a game? Just the thought that people did that to this kind man was appalling! She listened carefully to his advice...

When she sensed a hand stretched out to her, her crying began to cease. "N-No, I'm sorry... I-I break down too easily..." Harukami knew her faults were vast- and her anxiety was certainly one of them. She feared causing trouble, she feared others hating her. She had good reasons for these fears...
