Summer

[nihoko]

[Summer is almost over and to enjoy the last bits of warmth this year Japan had put something up:

Snow cones!

[nihoko]

I prefer calling them Kakigōri. Which flavor would you like America-san?

[lazy_gamer]

I'll have some bubble gum Japan!

[nihoko]

As you wish.

[The machine is turned on and shaved ice is filled in a cup and pink syrup poured over it.]

Here. [She hands it to him with a plastic spoon.]

[taste_of_horror]

Oh... what is it? It looks... good.

[nihoko]

Those are called Kakigōri, Westerners refer to them as Snow cones though. It's shaved ice with syrup.

Would you like to try one?

[taste_of_horror]

Kaki... que? I never heard of them but it looks tasty.

Oh, oui, please. Which... colour is the best?

[nihoko]

Well, which flavor do you like the most?

[awesome_army]

[Doesn't know which flavor he wants. There are too many. He wants all of them! Bounces rather excitedly.]

[nihoko]

[He can always mix. His bouncing amuses her.]

[awesome_army]

I want a green tea one--n-no, chocolate--bubblegum--

C-can you just mix some random flavors together? [grins a bit sheepishly. His bouncing has yet to cease.]

[nihoko]

As you wish Prussia-san.

[She happily mixes some random flavors and then hands the cup to him]

Here.

[techyazn]

[He stares at the stand a moment, before coming closer]

I haven't seen these in so long...

[nihoko]

Would you like some then?

[techyazn]

Is there green tea...?

[He vaguely remembers having these when he was little, still living on earth. Fond memories are rushing back to him, and he wishes his siblings could have been here too...]

[nihoko]

There is.

[She shows him the bottle of matcha syrup]

Shall it be this flavor then?

[nochrysanthemum]

[Biku observes the stand a moment, before approaching, his cap tucked under his arms and looking important]

A cheery one, please?

[Smiiiles, because his female self really is so pretty. Japanese women are the best.]

[nihoko]

Of course.

[She makes him a cherry flavored Kakigori and hands it to him with a spoon]

I hope you enjoy it.

[nochrysanthemum]

[He takes it, spooning a bite into his mouth.]

Delicious. Thank you very much.

[nihoko]

I am glad you like it. You are welcome.

[She smiles at him and cleans her working space]
