[ here’s a tip from a pro ]

So what you gotta do is… You put the long cooking goodies in first to eat last. Like kabocha squash.

[insinning]

[ Ohhhh?? ]

Does it absorb all the flavour then?

[ Teach him, sensei]

[deto]

Yeah, but not only that, it means you know there’s a little treat for you left at the end while everyone’s full.

[insinning]

[...!]

I'll have to try it...

[deto]

Make sure you eat shabu shabu with a plan in mind. What’s your plan right now?

[insinning]

...eat whatever gets put in first except the kobacha and anything else that takes too long to cook?

[Did he say that right?]

[deto]

… Shouldn't you be the one putting stuff in though?

[insinning]

Oh. Right.

[He forgot...adding some noodles then!]

[deto]

Ah, good choice. Are you aiming for them to be chewy or bloated?

[insinning]

Bloated...

[ Watching the noodles bubble with shining eyes]

[deto]

If that’s the case, I’d go meat first, some veggies, then the noodles, a little more veggies. And lastly the kabocha.

[insinning]

Alright. Meat first, then...

[Deto sounds like he knows exactly what he's doing so Sinclair will follow his suggestion exactly as planned]

[deto]

If you were going for chewy, I’d tell you to eat it with the meat first. But since you said bloated…

[ like that makes any sense ]

[insinning]

Mm, the broth is good, so...

[It makes no sense but Sinclair has never had any of this before and Deto is clearly a master. He will follow]

[deto]

Yeah, but bloated noodles take more stomach space. So you wanna get in all the good stuff first.

What do you like eating the most?

[insinning]

I guess the meat, but the mushrooms are good too.

[Surprising!]

[deto]

The mushrooms in this game are pretty good. When I was eating them off the ground, they weren’t bad either.

[insinning]

--you picked them off the ground??

[no]

[deto]

[ yeah? ]

Where else? Mushrooms grow on the ground.

[insinning]

And ate it without checking?

[THIS IS HOW MITHRUN1 DIED]

[deto]

[ who again ]

No, I checked to see if it looked like a mushroom.

[insinning]

But some mushrooms are poisonous...

[NO]

[deto]

It’s fine. I’m fine. [ still alive kek ] It’s definitely better cooked though. I read somewhere that you can’t overcook mushrooms, so doesn’t that mean you can’t undercook them either?

[insinning]

Um. I'm not actually sure. [Looking around HMMM] If you say so...

Just make sure you check descriptions of items before you eat them...

[deto]

Okay, Mom. [ strangely enough it doesn’t come out like an insult? somehow?? ] Did someone get mushroom poisoning before or something?
