Shizuru Kaiba Character Story - Favorite Food

Shizuru: Here, you can have some if you want.

Leon: Oh, this is what everyone's been talking about!

Shizuru: You know about this? Are you updated on the latest trends and stuff?

Leon: No, I just saw it being featured on the news this morning.

Shizuru: I see. Looks like the queue are gonna get longer.

Noah: Did you go buy it after watching the news?

Shizuru: I've had my eye on it since it was released.

I'm always tuned in on social media, so I keep up with not just food, but also music, fashion, and all sorts of local gossip.

Leon: Being faster before being featured on TV, that's impressive indeed.

If you know of any hidden gems, please share them with me. They could make excellent gifts for our business partners and spark some lively discussions.

Shizuru: Oh, how about something like the 'Tsuchinoko Senbei' that's been popular lately? [1]

Leon: A Tsuchinoko...!? Really!?

Shizuru: They sell it from a food truck. They move around a lot that finding where they are is tough, making it a rare and hard-to-find treat.

The other day, I finally got some information and rushed there, but by the time I got there, they were already sold out and was gone.

Leon: That must have been frustrating.

Shizuru: I guess you really gotta be lucky, huh? I really wanted to try it though.

Noah: (I’m glad today’s investigation went well. Now, I just need to do some shopping before heading back to the cafe)

Huh? Is that the—

Lance: Oh? It’s you, Noah. Welcome.

Noah: Pardon my intrusion.

Lance: Do you have plans with someone today? Our leader is asleep though...

Noah: No, it's with Kaiba-san. He has errands to do.

Lance: Shizuru, Noah is here.

Shizuru: H-hang on a sec. I'll be right there!

Noah: Is he busy with something?

Lance: Seems like it, huh?

Shizuru: Sorry about that. I finally managed to get through to the online sales for those popular sweets. I was glued to it until I hit the purchase button.

Lance: Ah, that's the one they were saying is limited and most requested, right?

Shizuru: Yeah, exactly. So, what about those errands?

Noah: If you don't mind, here you go.

Shizuru: ?! Is this wrapping paper the... Tsuchinoko senbei?!

Noah: I happened to buy it near the Kamen Cafe. I remembered you said you wanted to try it before.

Shizuru: No way! That's some luck you got there!

Thanks a lot! In return, I'll help you with anything you need!

Translation Note:

[1] Tsuchinoko translates to hammerspawn is a japanese folklore about a snake-like being. Senbei on the other hand is a type of rice cracker.
