Sweet or Salty? [Kiyoshi/Shishidou]

"Mmmm!" a soft hum of delight escaped his lips. How come donuts can be this good!? Oh dear, he never thought that Tokyo donuts and various other fried bread can be this delicious! Boy, he's ot regretting it the slightest to eat less for these treats! Generally, in Hokkaido, donuts just come with less varieties, but in here, it's just full of different thing! He's not really fond of sweet things. It's good and all, but if he ate too much, his brother commented that "even monkey have a better manner than you did", so he stopped. Not that it's a bad treats now and then, but honestly he preferred salty.

"Now on ta' da next--!" it's a fried bread with meat filling. He was about to pour a ketchup when someone seem to greeted him... him?

He turned around to the source... a boy... shorter than he is! (he made a guts pose inside his mind for this)... eh, but he looks younger too while at it. Huh...? Are? Really, him? As if asking in confirmation if the blond haired boy called him, he pointed at himself with questioning look

"Me?"

...Tokyo people must be lot friendlier than he thought if twice he already got called. What's wrong anyway? He doesn't think that this time he nearly entered a restricted bookstore

...Well,, what can a skinny kid do anyway? There's not much meat under that skin he reckon, and plus he doesn't seems like he got any ulterior motives. When it comes to strangers, yes, he's getting paranoid, but more because he's from the countryside and doesn't get most of thing that is going on around here. However at the same time, his mind generally goes to "Everyone is innocent" when they smiles in friendly way at him.

"Uh... well, ya... I do. I came here for da... uh... breads. Heard from me bro dat they're delicious... very delicious? ... Or actually really really really delicious..."

...Yes, Tetsu, you never got more than five thousand yens, and so when you got FIFTY for once, added with bout five thousand timed by 52, timed by 7 and minus some expenditure, you're still damn rich for a kid, so you decided to treat yourself before your mind gone blank from the impossible number and you're not aware that you have at least a million yen in your bank account... basically, grandpa said to 'try out new things', right!?

"Shishidou Tetsu, ya sounds like a bit younger dan me?"

...Well, that much is obvious, he hope? Then again, Tetsu never really talked to much kid of his age around here. Kids in Hokkaido, he literally knows all of them in that small village, so everyone's like family... but unfortunately, when it comes to new kid, he forgot to turn off his "I meant to be friendly, but I accidentally said stupid thing" mode.

"Oh, ya're younger innit!" Tetsu said, nodding. "Well, not dat matter 'nyway... Kiyoshi, right? Nice to metcha, sorry I forgot to say that meself..." he scratched his head. Despite the guy being younger, that doesn't mean he's going to act so rudely to him. Plus to begin with, Tetsu's rudeness is probably normal for him because he's just too overfamiliar with lot of people. "Oh, take a seat... I guess?" Not sure if that's right either, but he still offered anyway. Eh? The boy offered him cookie?

"Well, 'den, itadakimasu~"

Tetsu took one of the cookie, but while munching, he gave the younger boy a fried bread, one that seem to be... unique in some way. Let's say there are sprinkles of powdered nori on the surface and there are some filling that looks like cheese. A recipe for disaster? Dunno, but the boy finally finished the cookie to talk.

"Ya seem to be a great guy, but I don't want to take without giving somethin' back! Take somethin' from here," he pointed at the bag of breads that he just recently bought. "I bought too many so if ya don't like dis one, get another one from inside! Got too much money from grandpops, he's mighty rich that it's scary... I'm just a regula' farmboy, yanno...?"

...Well, the cookie tasted good, but... as said before, he's not that fond of sweet things.

"Really that unusual?" he asked, then he tried one himself. "...Well, yep, this is unusual... but it's still delicious anyway." Acquired taste is quite nice way to put it. This probably gonna end in top 10 weirdest doughnut idea, but as always, Tetsu is firm believer of no wasting food. He's going to eat whether he likes it or not, unless it's not even food. Kiyoshi's question of course was harmless... well, he doesn't even mind that sort of question at the slightest.

"Yep, ya heard me. From da farm in Hokkaido! Well, me and me folk need ta' move 'ere 'cuz of typhoon tho'. Killed lot o' my animal friends it did! Farm got destroyed, house broken, greenhouse glass all brokne''. Gotta need more dan' few bucks fo' dat, ya catch? Grandpops told me Pa and Ma to stay 'ere until it got fixed..."

"Meh, city kids like yerself should go ta farm sometimes. Ya should look at all dat place dat supply yer rice, yer bread, yer veggie, yer milk and whatever. Without farm folks can't eat. That's why ya should appreciate 'em." Wow, Tetsu, way to toot your own horn! However, the boy said it appreciatively. "Eh, but I'm na jus' sayin' that jus' farma' deserves yer thanks, kay? Workers too, and everyone! Make sure ya thanks 'em properly for all da effort they put on their jobs!"

He listened to Kiyoshi excitedly listed what's available. There's an arcade too back home you know... but the amount of game probably so small that he's not all that interested. Or maybe his love for his farm is just that huge so much that he doesn't even want to play games.

"..Mmmm, ya, sure."

He really don't want to disappoint this new friend of his tho. So he consented, and this time with a smile.
