Words had failed her again. There just weren’t any phrases that met her current needs. “Good meat,” “I want another beer,” or something similar wouldn’t do.</p><p>Kanna was used to Kasumi’s trouble speaking. In fact, it was fun trying to figure out what she meant. </p><p>“Were you asking for some?” she asked.</p><p>Kasumi shook her head no, while Riko looked irritated. Riko didn’t enjoy this game and resented sharing her time with Kanna.</p><p>“That's weird,” Kasumi said. The phrase worked, though she had to suppress the phrase’s end. “I wonder if we can shoot it.”</p><p>She was having a hard time today. It was like that when Sorawo and Toriko were traveling. Static filled her head, and new phrases would pop into her mind. When that happened, she had to concentrate on filing the comment away properly. The pair was walking silently through a ruined house, so she didn’t have to worry about that.</p><p>“You’re weird,” Riko said.</p><p>“Be nice,” Kanna chided, then returned to Kasumi’s question. “It’s soft serve. A special ice cream: soft, sweet, yummy. Do you want a LICK?”</p><p>Kasumi nodded.</p><p>“Mummm.” The sweetness filled her head, and the cold was delightful. It tingled her tongue.</p><p>By clipping “Good meat,” she could say what she felt: “Good.”</p><p>“Hey, I want a LICK too,” Riko said, grabbing at the cone.</p><p>Splat.</p><p>Kasumi suppressed the Sorawo comment that came to mind. People got weird when she called them a perv.</p><p>Kanna shrugged and said, “I have money. Let’s all buy one, then we don’t need to share.”</p><p>This time, Kasumi had a perfect answer borrowed from Toriko and Kosakura. Mom Kosakura used it every night when she tucked Kasumi into bed. It was a lovely phrase, even if Aunt Sorawo got weird when Aunt Toriko used it.</p><p>“I love you.”</p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/MicroFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MicroFiction</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NMPrompts</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMV366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NMV366</span></a><br><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/OthersidePicnic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OthersidePicnic</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/UraPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UraPi</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/%E8%A3%8F%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%83%94%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8B%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>裏世界ピクニック</span></a><br><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/MissKobayashiDragonMaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MissKobayashiDragonMaid</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/DragonMaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DragonMaid</span></a> <br> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@QuasiTemporal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>QuasiTemporal</span></a></span></p>
