You're the first volunteer aside from myself, so if there's anything in particular you think you'd be most comfortable talking about, or at the very least if there's anything you don't want to talk to people about, please let me know, Orihime-san.

[Regarding favourite flavour...they're all French. Every last one of them.]

Dacquoise. I also like charlotte russe and fraisier.

I think for advanced technology, we can simply direct them to Lunar Scientia. We're there to help people get adjusted in their first couple of weeks here, but it's not as if any of us are experts.

[Maybe they'll get really lucky and someone who is an expert in technology will volunteer. However, he's not holding his breath. He's going to assume that most volunteers will be well intentioned Moonblessed with an average level of knowledge.]

They're all French types of cake. Dacquoise is traditionally made with almond or hazelnut meringue sponge cake, separated with layers of whipped cream or butter cream. Charlotte russe is a sponge cake pressed into a mold, filled with custard or cream, with cooked fruit, spices, and a little bit of brandy for added flavour. Fraisier is a cake with layers of sponge cake, vanilla flavoured cream, marzipan, and a lot of fresh strawberries, especially on the exterior lining.

I think I can remember. I used to make them with my grandmother sometimes. When she was babysitting me when I was younger, she would tell me she needed my help to bake something and would pretend to forget steps so that I'd read them from the recipe book to her.

I have no doubt that you will. And if we don't have enough money at first, you can always give me a birthday hug until we do have enough chroma to pay for everything.

[Flattery will get you everywhere, Orihime.]

Admittedly, I wouldn't have been quite so forward about hugs on my home world. It's much easier to bring up when people actually require physical contact to survive in this world.

I'm glad to hear it. Someone as kind and pretty as you deserves to have plenty of self-confidence.

[Shame? What's that? Nope, he is 100% going to have fun flirting here.]

No, not really. I dated a little in middle school, but stopped when I got to UA. The pro-hero course is very demanding. I got overconfident when it came time to study for our midterms and had to do make up work. Lesson learned.

[That, and he's kind of a gremlin whose obsession with beating class 1-A sometimes grates on his classmates, even if they're otherwise on good terms.]

Working as a Moon Knight has been a good experience so far. I'm going to stick with that. It's the most practical way to keep up with my training.

[Not to mention, it seems pointless to go to school here if he can get a job easily enough without it.]

If there's any subject I'm really interested in learning about, I can always read a few books on the topic without worrying about doing well on assignments and exams.
