Hm? Mozu, what are you doing sitting all alone by the river?
Oh, hey there, Kaze. I'm just peeling and washing these potatoes.
I see. In that case, would you mind if I helped you?
Oh, no, that's OK. Really! This is my job.
Nonsense. I've nothing better to do, and I'm really quite good at it. I promise.
What? You are?
I am. Here, just give me one of those, and... One, two, three...
Gosh, you're fast. It looks like you might even be better than me...
I used to cook a lot. Strange as it sounds, it was part of my training regimen. Oddly enough, my master also had me paint fences and polish armor. Household chores have a prominent role in Hoshidan martial-arts training.
I see... And here I was thinking I must be the best potato peeler in camp.
Tell you the truth, it's a little disheartening to get one-upped like this...
I see. Well...if you'd ever like my help, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll teach you everything I know about the preparation of root vegetables.
You'd do that for me? Thanks, Kaze! I appreciate it. I'll hold you to that though, you hear?
Yes, of course.
