(seems like EF is lagging abit but I guess i'm ready :P)
03:10:46
Are you two going to be needing the public chat because I can shut up if you need me too.
03:10:47
No i won't touch it
03:10:55
(sure you're alright?)
03:11:00
Ok
03:11:00
(you alright hana?)

(omg)

(its that refreshing bug again lol)
03:13:17
Refresh bug?
03:13:30
(do we need to remake the room?)
03:13:35
Gelöscht
(try typing test 1 test 2 test 3)
03:13:47
(reading it all)
03:13:54
Gelöscht
(i think should be okay)
03:14:05
(alright then)
03:14:11
It is an early morning, and Nagusa is sitting at the table in the inner chamber, mending a small tear on a cushion
03:14:39
Gelöscht
-Hana slowly walks into the inner chamber, smiling at Nagusa- Good morning Nagu!
03:15:57
Good morning, my dear
03:16:10
Did you sleep well?
03:16:13
Gelöscht
-Hana stretches her back- Somewhat~
03:16:56
Good. And I trust that you have finished your reflections?
03:17:11
Gelöscht
-Hana gulps- O-of course!
03:17:38
Let me have a look, then
03:17:53
Gelöscht
-She hands you pieces of loose sheets, with rows of words scribbled onto them, her hand trembling a little-
03:19:12
scans though the papers
03:19:45
there's something to be said about handwriting, and spelling...
03:20:04
but I think you've learned your lesson...
03:20:19
Gelöscht
-Hana quietly listens, her tail drooping a little-
03:20:25
folds and puts it away
03:20:34
well, we shall work on that later. penmanship is an essential skill, after all
03:20:59
Gelöscht
-Hana shyly nods- Mmm...
03:21:27
Nagusa stands up, and pulls open another drawer, retrieving two rather large and heavy objects before returning to the table
03:21:54
I think you are getting very capable of handling guests who are here for a night of intimacy
03:22:24
Gelöscht
-Hana's eyebrows raise slightly as she looks at what you're doing-
03:22:36
That is good. continue to work on your craft
03:22:40
However, what will you do for guests who arrive stressed and anxious, as we sometimes do?
03:23:00
Gelöscht
Well...
03:23:11
Gelöscht
I could use healing magic I guess...
03:23:32
Your healing magic, while extremely strong and versatile, heals physical wounds
03:23:59
can it also heal the psyche or relieve them of stress?
03:24:15
Gelöscht
Well...I could sort of hypnotize them into a relaxed state...
03:24:31
Gelöscht
But I don't like doing that often
03:24:59
well yes, i highly doubt many guests will be appreciative of mind-bending magic being used on them
03:26:15
generally people don't like to be manipulated
03:26:32
Gelöscht
Mmm...um, may I sit beside you, Nagu?
03:26:38
you have to. While most guests sit opposite the host, you will be the host one day, so it is natural for you to sit on this side of the table
03:27:11
Bring a pillow over, and you may sit on it
03:27:26
Gelöscht
-Hana takes a pillow, before gently setting it down and sitting on it-
03:27:57
sigh
03:28:07
my dear, how are you sitting?
03:28:12
Gelöscht
Um...what's wrong?
03:28:30
please keep your knees together unless you are tempting a guest
03:29:07
then keep your back straight
03:29:11
so your assets are more pronounced
03:29:31
Gelöscht
Oh sorry... -She closes her legs and sits up straight, her chest slightly puffing out-
03:30:03
good. now it may be tiring at first
03:30:12
but you'll get used to sitting like this for some time eventually
03:30:23
Gelöscht
Mmm..okay..
03:30:36
you may relax your back slightly if it gets too tiring for you later on
03:30:43
now, I think you are ready for lessons beyond the bedroom, for you are starting to become very proficient in those matters
03:31:25
Gelöscht
Beyond...?
03:31:48
Other than private sessions with guests, we also entertain visitors and host parties, as I have no doubt you have noticed
03:32:01
Gelöscht
Ah, yes, I've noticed!
03:32:42
And on the few occasions you have served tea... I think there is room for improvement
03:32:44
So I will spend this morning going over some of the basics
03:33:04
Gelöscht
Oh, sure! I'd be happy to learn! -Hana smiles-
03:33:25
Good. then let us begin. Would you help me put aside that black box for a moment?
03:33:49
be careful, it's heavy
03:33:52
Nagusa begins to lift the lid off the wooden red box
03:34:05
Gelöscht
-Hana picks up the black box, putting it at the side- Over here?
03:34:24
mmhm
03:34:29
Gelöscht
Well it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be~ -Hana giggles-
03:34:46
oh, perhaps you are stronger than me then. or perhaps it is the weight of culture and knowledge trapped within that you have yet to experience 😉
03:35:26
well, to begin with
03:35:33
there are two distinct styles of tea you should know
03:35:46
Gelöscht
-Hana nods while listening-
03:35:55
The first is tea made using tea leaves
03:36:04
Nagusa reaches in the box and takes out several small containers
03:36:17
she opens two of them, showing dried tea leaves within each
03:36:28
Gelöscht
-Hana looks at the tea leaves- Did you make these yourself?
03:37:16
No, they were picked in the forest we know so well.
03:37:45
Gelöscht
Oh, that forest..
03:37:53
Akane used to help me pick them before she departed
03:38:04
Gelöscht
Akane?
03:38:13
perhaps one day i will teach you to identify and pick them yourself
03:38:18
Gelöscht
Hehe, no task is too difficult for a Demon Lord!
03:38:38
Gelöscht
-Hana grins proudly-
03:38:47
Yes, she stayed with us briefly before having to leave on her personal business
03:38:52
Gelöscht
Oh...
03:39:03
well, we shall see Nagusa giggles a littel bit
03:39:07
she continues to take things out from the box
03:39:20
A large tray, with slats on top, followed by an empty space below to collect water
03:39:49
a clay teapot
03:40:02
porcelain cups
03:40:14
A glass jar
03:40:23
Gelöscht
-Hana looks at the items being brought out- What do these do?
03:40:35
all in good time, dear
03:40:41
Gelöscht
Hmm..okay
03:40:51
Would you set a kettle of water to boil at the fireplace?
03:41:14
proper tea must be made with hot water, after all
03:41:23
Gelöscht
Sure! -Hana gets up, filling the kettle with water before putting it onto the stove and turning the flame on before returning to the table-
03:42:06
Good. watch the kettle while we busy ourselves
03:42:25
Gelöscht
Sure! -Hana makes a mental note of the kettle as she listens to you-
03:42:48
Nagusa places the teapot and glass jar, as well as porcelain cups on top of the slats
03:43:34
the teapot and jar is placed closer to her while the teacups are away from her
03:43:51
Now, tea is usually accompanied by rather intricate ceremonies
03:44:17
there is even a specific one, used for marriages
03:44:27
Gelöscht
Marriages?
03:44:37
which i hope to serve for you on your own happy occasion
03:44:37
yes. tea ceremonies are a time to celebrate, after all
03:44:54
but today, we will just be focusing on the basics
03:45:05
Gelöscht
Hehe, I'd be honored if you did Nagu! -Hana smiles brightly-
03:45:15
i know you would 😊
03:45:28
(Awww)
03:45:45
Gelöscht
-Hana is still smiling, clearly lost in her fantasies-
03:45:51
Now, the ceremony itself embraces the ideas of Harmony, Respect, Purity and Tranquility
03:46:05
but the tea itself alone, should also bring out ideas of Harmony and Tranquility, as you will see
03:46:26
Gelöscht
Ah...yes?
03:46:39
Now, the equipment is ready. Would you see if the water is ready?
03:47:03
Gelöscht
Okay! -Hana walks over to the kettle- Hmm..I think it will start boiling soon! What should I do?
03:47:29
alright. let us talk about the first mistake many make
03:47:43
Gelöscht
Mmhmm?
03:47:52
For brewing tea, you do not actually want the water to boil fully
03:48:03
When the water is at a full boil
03:48:21
Gelöscht
Ah...
03:48:23
do you see huge bubbles coming up from the bottom to burst at the surface?
03:48:32
Gelöscht
Um..yes! I see a few
03:48:54
That is called "fish eyes" and is not suitable for tea
03:49:00
please take it off the fire
03:49:04
Gelöscht
Okay! -Hana turns off the stove and picks up the kettle, setting it onto a mat on the table-
03:49:37
The reason is because Nagusa picks up the box containing tea leaves
03:50:03
Tea leaves are delicate, and water at such a high temperature will simply scald it
03:50:18
Gelöscht
Mmmhmm? -Hana studies your actions closely-
03:50:25
so what you actually want
03:51:06
is a stage slightly before, where you have tiny bubbles slowly creeping to the surface
03:51:21
this is what we call "crab eyes"
03:51:30
Gelöscht
I see....
03:51:35
Gelöscht
So fish eyes bad, crab eyes good..?
03:51:50
What actually happens is the the dissolved air in the water is slowly escaping from the water
03:51:54
but it serves as a rough gauge to when the temperature is just about right to prepare tea
03:52:11
Gelöscht
Mmm...
03:52:18
Yes. you want to take the kettle off at the crab eyes stage
03:52:23
Gelöscht
Okay!
03:52:36
alright, let us continue
03:52:44
Gelöscht
Yup~
03:52:50
Clay pots have a unique property in that they are able to absorb and retain heat
03:53:23
so the first step is to ensure that the pot is evenly heated
03:53:42
the embodiment of "harmony" as it were
03:53:57
Gelöscht
The pot..?
03:54:17
Nagusa takes the kettle and slowly pours the hot water over the outside of the pot
03:54:18
the water splashes down the side of the pot and between the slats, draining into the container below
03:54:39
now the outside is heated. you can have a touch
03:55:02
Gelöscht
-Hana reluctantly taps a finger on the surface of the pot, feeling the warmth-
03:55:35
we are also washing away some of the impurities, embodying "purity"
03:55:40
now, the outside is warm, but the inside is cold
03:55:51
Gelöscht
Hmm...
03:56:00
so what do you think the next step should be
03:56:03
Gelöscht
We should warm the inside?
03:56:28
and how would we do that?
03:56:34
Gelöscht
Um, with the hot water?
03:56:45
go ahead, dear.
03:56:52
Gelöscht
Um... -Hana picks up the kettle, bringing it over the pot, tilting it slightly so only a small stream of hot water spills into the pot-
03:57:39
now the inside is filled with water
03:57:51
what next?
03:57:53
Gelöscht
Um...
03:57:59
Gelöscht
We put in the tea leaves?
03:58:06
no, dear.
03:58:39
Gelöscht
Oh...
03:58:45
if we put in the leaves now, they will but float
03:58:52
besides, the water now may be contaminated with impurities from inside the pot
03:59:05
Gelöscht
Oh...
03:59:17
you have a few options here, but the water inside is of no use to make tea
03:59:26
Gelöscht
So we should empty the pot?
03:59:30
you can simply pour it out between the slats
03:59:38
you can pour it into the tea cups to rinse them too
03:59:49
or you can pour it out into the glass jar, using it as a waste water receptacle
04:00:28
Gelöscht
Hmm...okay -Hana picks up the pot, tilting it slightly to rinse the tea cups-
04:00:36
of course, once you are done, make sure to pour the water from the cups away
04:01:04
Gelöscht
Ah, yes! -Hana pours the water away into the glass jar, ensuring not to waste a single drop-
04:01:26
now, it is finally time to put in the tea leaves
04:01:48
there are many different varieties of tea, each with different tastes and properties
04:02:01
but it will take too long, and possibly be too much for you to go into them individually
04:02:14
so for today we will stick with a simple green tea Nagusa picks up a small box
04:02:39
Gelöscht
Well..which ones do you like to use?
04:02:39
It is difficult to go wrong with green tea, as it has a milder flavour compared to some of the stronger ones
04:03:07
Gelöscht
Mmm..
04:03:18
so, you first put some of the tea leaves into the pot, and again you have a couple of options
04:03:41
Gelöscht
Hmmm?
04:04:09
A skilled practitioner will simple tilt the box and pour out the required quantity
04:04:12
however, it is difficult to accomplish because the box must not touch the pot at any point in time
04:04:34
and tea leaves are quite valuable to waste in case of spillage
04:04:52
instead, we usually use a tool, such as a small pair of tongs to aid us
04:05:12
Gelöscht
Mmm...
04:05:21
Nagusa takes out a small pair of steel tongs from inside the box and puts a generous portion of leaves into the pot
04:05:45
It also takes experience to know how many leaves to put inside. It can be considered to be more an art than a science
04:06:11
Gelöscht
-Hana watches you closely- Mm..
04:06:22
now, since the pot has been freshly rinsed, the leaves inside are now merely damp.
04:06:37
before you do anything, invite the guests to smell the fragrance of the leaves, released by the dampness
04:06:58
She brings the pot to your face
04:07:06
Gelöscht
Mmm.. -Hana takes a sniff, as the aroma of the tea leaves fill her lungs-
04:07:31
Peace, and tranquility. let them relax in the fragrance of it
04:07:37
You can also use this time to direct their attention to the birdsong that is always around us
04:07:57
I used to have a small river by the old shrine... perhaps we can negotiate with the lord one day about getting an artificial one...
04:08:23
Gelöscht
Well..I'm sure we can work something out!
04:08:47
Gelöscht
Maybe a small pond?
04:09:00
Smell, hearing and soon taste
04:09:11
0w0
04:09:18
make use of all 5 senses to appreciate the beauty of life. 😊
04:09:30
Nagusa takes the pot away and replaces it on the table
04:09:46
Hey Cassy
04:10:04
Now we are ready to brew
04:10:04
Nagu changed exchange pfp with Hana meow?
04:10:06
Hiya~
04:10:10
It was mine, she helped me fix it
04:10:17
Gelöscht
Ah...okay
04:10:21
Bot/Gelöscht
<3
04:10:23
Nagusa fills the pot to the brim, then places the lid on
04:10:40
now the inside is filled with warm water
04:10:50
Bot/Gelöscht
and i didn't get any headpats for helping uwu
04:10:52
what should happen next?
04:10:54
Gelöscht
Should we let it boil a little?
04:11:14
How rude of Nagu.
04:11:15
boil? the teapot?
04:11:35
Gelöscht
Oh...
04:11:41
the clay will melt, dear. giggles
04:11:47
Gelöscht
Well...we have to let the tea leaves mix with the water at least right?
04:12:16
and what do we do in the meantime?
04:12:24
remember, the inside is now full of hot water
04:12:38
Gelöscht
Entertain our guests? -Hana giggles-
04:12:45
sigh
04:12:50
Gelöscht
W-what...
04:12:57
the inside is hot, but the outside is cold
04:12:59
so... we need to rectify that
04:13:04
Gelöscht
So...we should pour some hot water on the outside?
04:13:19
Nagusa picks up the kettle and pours water over the outside, rinsing it again in a circular motion
04:13:21
yes, dear.
04:13:27
Gelöscht
H-how was I supposed to know... -Hana pouts-
04:13:38
now, the first brew is not for drinking.
04:13:54
care to guess why?
04:13:58
Gelöscht
Um...
04:14:09
Gelöscht
-Hana scratches her head- No idea...
04:14:31
It has to do with the tea leaves
04:14:47
we have rinsed the pot, the cups
04:14:54
but the leaves have not been rinsed
04:14:59
so, we simply -
04:15:19
Nagusa lifts the pot, pours a little into each guest cup, then pours the rest away into the slats
04:15:46
let the cups absorb a little of the fragrance, then -
04:16:05
She pours the liquid in the cups away into the glass jar
04:16:28
she replaces the cups in front of the imaginary guests
04:16:50
Gelöscht
Wait...
04:17:06
Gelöscht
I don't understand
04:17:10
hmm?
04:17:12
Gelöscht
First we rinse the pots and the cups...
04:17:38
Gelöscht
Then we rinse it with the tea leaves?
04:17:46
not exactly
04:17:56
the first pour
04:18:00
is getting rid of the impurities on the tea leaves
04:18:09
so you let them soak in the water for awhile, then pour it away
04:18:22
Gelöscht
And then we repeat it again?
04:18:41
now we are ready for what we call "the first pour"
04:18:55
Nagusa fills the pot with water again and replaces the lid, then pours water around the outside of the pot
04:19:31
This time, the tea is ready for drinking
04:19:38
Would you like to do the honours?
04:19:54
Gelöscht
Gladly! -Hana picks up the pot and starts filling the cups with the freshly made tea-
04:20:21
Now, we have no guests today, so we will have to pretend
04:20:50
She hands you a cup
04:21:06
do encourage them to smell the fragrance of the tea before drinking it
04:21:19
remember, sight, smell, sound then finally taste
04:21:30
Gelöscht
Ah, okay
04:21:41
one set of tea leaves is good for about 3-5 pours, not including the first one you have to drain away
04:22:38
of course, it does without saying that the first pour will have the strongest flavour and the last will have the mildest flavour
04:23:01
Gelöscht
Hmm...
04:23:31
also, as the tea leaves lose flavour, they will take longer and longer to infuse the water with fragrance and taste.
04:23:32
It takes skill and experience to know how long to wait between pours, and to strike up suitable conversation to make up for the time in between
04:23:55
Gelöscht
So, what happens if we finish the tea but the guests still wants to drink?
04:24:24
what do you think, dear?
04:24:35
If the tea has become too thin, but they still ask for more?
04:24:58
Gelöscht
I-i don't know
04:25:12
think, my dear. it isn't too hard
04:25:26
the leaves have lost their flavour, but they want more
04:25:38
Gelöscht
Should we add more leaves?
04:25:56
Where would you find space to add more?
04:26:09
Gelöscht
Hmm...
04:26:29
Gelöscht
Or do we just add a little bit of water this time?
04:26:46
if there's not enough water, what would you serve? giggles
04:27:10
you are right you need to add more
04:27:17
but the pot is filled, so where would you find the space to add a fresh batch of leaves?
04:27:38
Gelöscht
We get another pot?
04:27:58
well, that certainly is an option - but you will be paying for additional pots 😉
04:28:34
Gelöscht
P-pay?
04:28:50
I only have the one in this set
04:28:58
giggles
04:29:04
It's really simple, dear. simply take out the old and used leaves and replace them with new, fresh ones
04:29:27
Gelöscht
Well...looks like I'll have to look for a part time job then! -Hana giggles-
04:29:29
Gelöscht
Oh...
04:29:34
Gelöscht
In that case...forget what i just said..hehe...
04:29:58
Now, that is most of the basics about how to brew tea using tea leaves
04:30:32
can you remember all that?
04:30:39
Gelöscht
I think I can...
04:30:51
Gelöscht
First, we have to heat the water, but make sure it's not boiling
04:31:05
Gelöscht
Then we pour the water onto the pot and into the pot
04:31:20
Gelöscht
Then...we do the same for the cups
04:31:33
Gelöscht
Then we empty them and put in the tea leaves
04:31:43
Gelöscht
And we make our guests smell it too~
04:32:00
Gelöscht
Then we'll pour the water in with the tea leaves still inside
04:32:19
Gelöscht
And we'll pour it into the cups too
04:32:49
Gelöscht
And..that's about it?
04:32:57
did you forget that you have to pour away the tea the first time?
04:33:33
Gelöscht
Oh, yeah...we pour the tea away first, then it's ready for drinking
04:34:02
and to smell the tea before actually drinking it
04:34:10
but other than that, yes, that is rather accurate
04:34:19
Gelöscht
-Hana smiles- Did I do well?
04:34:35
as long as you remember, sight, smell, hearing, taste in that order
04:34:52
Gelöscht
Mmm...
04:35:04
good. now let us put this away for washing later and bring out the other set
04:35:09
the one you've put aside just now
04:35:21
Gelöscht
O-other set...?
04:35:27
the black box, dear
04:35:37
Gelöscht
Oh yes... -She puts away all the cups and pots, clearing the table before setting the black box onto the table-
04:36:18
(oof i might need a part 2 i dragged on too long XD)
04:36:24
Bot/Gelöscht
(up to you uwu)
04:36:34
Nagusa opens the box and retrieves a small container within, opening it
04:36:56
(Nagu’s lessons meow 0w0)
04:37:12
The second type of tea is made with powder, also commonly known as matcha
04:37:31
Gelöscht
I-i thought you said you only had one set...
04:37:43
She shows you a box of verdant green powder
04:37:46
one set for tea leaves, dear
04:37:58
Gelöscht
-Hana looks at the green powder- This is matcha...?
04:38:06
Yes
04:38:26
Gelöscht
What's the difference?
04:38:41
It is simply green tea, grinded into a fine powder
04:38:42
There are some specifics of how the tea is grown, but that is for another time
04:39:02
Gelöscht
Ah, okay
04:39:41
While brewing with tea leaves the leaves are considered waste products, in matcha the leaves are grounded into powder
04:39:49
And then dissolved into the water
04:40:00
Gelöscht
Hmm...
04:40:36
Gelöscht
Do we brew it the same way as we do with the leaves?
04:40:46
Yes and no, there are some similarities
04:40:56
The ceremonies are rather different
04:41:11
Gelöscht
Hmm...
04:41:25
But as far as brewing goes only the water is the same
04:41:28
Not too hot
04:41:31
Gelöscht
I see...
04:41:42
Because there are no leaves
04:41:52
There is no need for a pot
04:41:59
Gelöscht
So we can do it straight in the cup?
04:42:18
Yes
04:42:24
However
04:42:27
Gelöscht
Hmm?
04:42:41
Nagusa reaches in the box and takes out an elaborate bowl
04:42:45
the bowl is painted with a fish motif, and waves crashing and flowing around the rest of the rim
04:43:17
Gelöscht
Wow...who made this?
04:43:33
A gift, from a guest some time ago
04:43:50
Gelöscht
It's beautiful...
04:44:09
Some more affectionate guests seem to like to lavish their prized possessions on me
04:44:21
Gelöscht
Well...One day I'll give you something too Nagu...
04:44:44
Yes. The art of powdered tea lies in appreciating the beauty, more than just the tea
04:44:58
In any case
04:45:04
Gelöscht
Yes?
04:45:12
While tea leaves deal with cups, powdered tea is prepared in bowls such as these
04:45:23
Gelöscht
Mmm...
04:45:41
And the actual process is far simpler than tea leaves
04:46:13
Gelöscht
Oh..that's nice to hear -Hana giggles-
04:46:36
she takes the box of powdered tea and uses a spatula to dole out a portion into the bowl
04:46:51
There is no pouring or repouring for powdered tea
04:47:25
Gelöscht
Oh...
04:47:39
she takes the kettle and pours water into the bowl, allowing it to mix with the powder
04:48:13
And after that...
04:48:22
Gelöscht
Yes?
04:48:31
she reaches into the box to take out a small bamboo whisk
04:48:38
You simply use this to whisk the powder and water together
04:49:00
Gelöscht
I see..
04:49:18
Rawr!!! in a sleepy voice
04:49:33
Nagusa proceeds to whisk briskly, forming bubbles on top of the surface
04:49:42
Hello everyone
04:49:51
Good evening aria!! 😍
04:49:56
Gelöscht
Mmm... -Hana watches you closely-
04:50:08
Now the key here is that you need to produce just enough foam
04:50:16
Hehe good night for me😂
04:50:19
very late for me
04:50:26
Gelöscht
Foam?
04:50:38
Bot/Gelöscht
hi~
04:50:47
How’re you doing nagusa?
04:50:52
hello
04:51:05
nagusa stops, and as the water swirls around in the bowl you see that the bubbles are full and plentiful, covering the entire surface of the water, but not a single one touches the sides of the bowl
04:51:22
Gelöscht
Hmm...
04:51:44
Foam as in bubbles, dear
04:51:48
I'm good!
04:51:53
Please meet hana, who is working under me!
04:52:03
Hello Hana! How’re you?
04:52:20
Gelöscht
Oh...I knew that
04:52:26
Bot/Gelöscht
Hi~ I'm doing well~ how about you? ^^
04:52:39
Now, it is ready to be served
04:52:59
I’m alright, besides that I’m really tired
04:53:27
Again, do encourage them to appreciate the beauty of the bowl and fragrance of the tea before drinking
04:53:32
i just wanted to take my little rest in here with some of my friends
04:53:54
As this is no cup, the guest will have to bring the entire bowl up to them and drink from the rim
04:53:56
Aww hugs
04:54:06
Bot/Gelöscht
Hehe, relax as long as you'd like ^^
04:54:16
Gelöscht
Oh...we don't pour it into a cup?
04:54:35
I'll get hana to serve you tea later 🥰🥰
04:54:38
There is no cup
04:54:48
This is it
04:54:52
Gelöscht
Hmm
04:55:03
Thank you both, I-I feel embarrassed to ask but do any of you happen to have a spare bed at all👉👈
04:55:06
or cat bed even?
04:55:11
Gelöscht
Can we add ice to this drink if the guests wishes so?
04:55:24
Of course. We even have rooms
04:55:32
Hana?
04:55:36
Bot/Gelöscht
Well, we always have beds prepared! -Hana takes Aria's hand and leads her into a guest room, the bed is already prepared in advanced- Feel free to rest here as long as you want!
04:56:15
Ice would dilute the flavour and taste
04:56:19
For iced tea
04:56:27
Tea leaf brewing is a better choice
04:56:39
Will you guys have beds too when you need them?
04:56:52
Because the powder will not mix properly if the water is cold
04:56:57
Bot/Gelöscht
Of course we do!
04:57:02
Gelöscht
Hmm I see...
04:57:11
how much do I owe you?
04:57:19
Bot/Gelöscht
There's no need to pay us anything~
04:57:32
Bot/Gelöscht
Just stay and enjoy yourself~ :3
04:57:43
you sure?
04:57:46
Bot/Gelöscht
Yup~
04:57:51
Now there is one more difference
04:57:53
Gelöscht
Mmhmm?
04:58:04
but I don’t want to overstay my welcome by giving nothing back
04:58:04
Because powdered tea tends to be thick and has a strong bitter aftertaste
04:58:11
You will often have to harmonize it
04:58:22
Bot/Gelöscht
Well...you could give me a hug <3
04:58:26
Nagusa stands up and disappears into the kitchen
04:58:38
Gelöscht
Harmonize?
04:58:39
Y-you want a hug f-from me?
04:58:40
Bot/Gelöscht
Hehe of course~
04:58:52
she brings out a small plate as she returns
04:58:56
on the plate are various sweet treats, a glutinous rice ball, a small sweetcake and a tart
04:59:54
Gelöscht
Oh?
04:59:59
So we usually pair the tea with a small delicacy
05:00:08
Yay!! i pounce on you a d hug you tightly as I purr with happiness and nuzzle your face with my fuzzy face
05:00:09
To harmonize the bitter aftertaste with sweetness
05:00:27
Gelöscht
I see...
05:00:51
Don't let sunny know or there will be nothing left 🤭
05:00:57
Gelöscht
Oh, of course~
05:01:07
Bot/Gelöscht
Hehe -Hana wraps her hands around you and snuggles into you-
05:01:32
Thank you for letting me stay
05:01:52
I prefer matcha over tea leaves myself, but everyone has a different taste
05:01:56
ill let you get back with nagu now
05:02:05
It is up to you to figure out what our guests like, dear
05:02:12
thank you!!
05:02:13
Bye aria!
05:02:22
Bot/Gelöscht
Thank you, enjoy your stay!
05:02:25
Drop by anytime!
05:02:27
I get under all the covers and tuck myself in
05:02:29
goodbye nagusa
05:02:43
Gelöscht
Well...matcha is definitely easier to prepare...hehehe...
05:02:52
Goodbye Hana
05:02:54
Bot/Gelöscht
Bye bye~
05:02:58
That is until i make you grind the leaves into powder, dear 🤭
05:03:27

Oh...
05:03:37
You didn't think powder grows on trees, did you?
05:03:52
Gelöscht
Umm...

Gelöscht
-Hana looks away, slightly embarrassed-
05:04:16
giggles
05:04:30
Alright, you are long overdue for a trip into the forest
05:04:46
Gelöscht
Trip?
05:04:55
You haven't seen much of it, have you?
05:05:10
Gelöscht
Just a little, when Noah brought me here
05:05:35
Gelöscht
But I've never had a proper walk inside the forest
05:05:57
Then it is about time you should
05:06:24
Gelöscht
Are we going now?
05:06:36
Hm, i would prefer for sunny to wake. There are certain things i have yet to tell her too...
05:07:23
Gelöscht
Oh, then let's wait for her then!
05:07:38
Nevertheless, your lesson on tea is over for today
05:07:49
Gelöscht
Phew...
05:08:15
Have you heard about another beverage, known as coffee?
05:08:16
Gelöscht
Yes, I've heard about it
05:08:25
What do you know?
05:08:37
Gelöscht
Um...it helps people stay awake?
05:08:48
Certain types of Tea do that too
05:09:09
Gelöscht
Mmm...
05:09:17
anything else?
05:10:08
Gelöscht
Not really...
05:10:15
haaah
05:10:32
well, there are many interesting stories around that drink too, though the preparation is simple
05:10:46
looks at steam coming out of hana's ears
05:11:02
perhaps that lesson is best saved for another time 😏
05:11:19
Gelöscht
Ahh...yeah....sorry..
05:11:27
well, let us clean the tea sets up and store them once more, and we can have our trip to the forest once Sunny returns
05:12:10
I will be watching you the next time you serve tea, dear
05:12:18
Gelöscht
-Gulp- I-i'll do my best..
05:12:34
I'm sure you'll be fine
05:12:41
Gelöscht
Mmm...
05:13:00
it's simply a matter of writing a simple reflection if you make any mistakes, is it not? 😊
05:13:17
Gelöscht
N-nagu.... -Hana shivers a little-
05:13:33
Nagusa stands up and starts carrying the sets into the kitchen for cleanup
05:14:00
well, let's get started, and it's almost time for lunch, too
05:14:11
(thanks to whoever's still here lol)

Ah of course! Let me help you! -Hana gets up and assists you-
