[It wasn't as though he ate of four star restaurants or anything, though he did know how to do things with the food he did buy. He nodded at her thanks but didn't comment. He never knew how to handle compliments.]
And nobody's tried clearin' 'em out, huh? Some guard. [It almost sounded like a job for them.
How interesting. I wonder how they're capable of keeping the prices so low. [ Truly was something interesting to contemplate. How precisely could they managed to maintain such low prices while also keeping the quality of the taste. ]
Perhaps some have tried and failed? [ That seems a bit hopeful to think of. ] Guard? There's one?
You can make a lot of good food with cheap ingredients if you're creative enough.
[He cleared his throat, because that was getting close to talking about things she'd already pointed out he seemed to be an authority on. He wouldn't call reading a few magazines and watching a few cooking shows 'being an expert', but he wouldn't call himself an expert on anything, either.]
Yeah. Some guy named Nida works with 'em. Besides seein' some of 'em walkin' around, I don't think they do much.
I suppose I have a lot to learn on the subject. [ A light blush touched her cheeks again and she looked down. It could go into the folder with all the other things she still had to learn about the world outside of the one she'd grown up in. A part of her wanted to ask if he'd teach her more, but she didn't want to display her ignorance any further and she certainly didn't want to burden him with it. ]
Perhaps they simply don't have the capabilities to notice such things. [ Kind of like how their own police lacked the knowledge and ability to deal with the Shadows. ]
If you want to. [It was a subtle offer, but there nonetheless. They'd never really had much of a chance to share their dissimilar childhoods. He'd never thought himself on the level with Mitsuru, but if she was interested in things like that, he'd teach her.]
I think people know about the monsters around here. [It wasn't exactly the same.] And a lot more's common knowledge here than back home.
[ She hesitated for a moment before nodding. ] I would. I realize there are many things I don't quite understand due to my upbringing. Even if I can't bring this knowledge with me back home, I still think it could be valuable. [ There might not be as many uses for it here, but perhaps it would let her understand others better. ]
It's simply disgraceful to think they know about the problems and yet they've done nothing. [ But, it did seem that was most likely the case. ] Though, I suppose it is possible they lack the abilities to deal with such things? Perhaps it would be a good idea to try to learn more about what others here can do.
Thank you, Shinjiro. I appreciate that. [ More than that, she appreciated that he wasn't belittling to her and the distinct lack of knowledge she had in certain subjects. That had always been her biggest fear in regards to it: looking foolish. The fact that he was being so understanding was quite a pleasant surprise. Not to mention how much it helped her in regards to feeling less self-conscious. ]
That sounds like a good delegation of tasks. Interested in taking up a stronger leadership position? [ Was she teasing him? The smile on her lips said yes. ]
Hell, no. Minato can handle that just fine. [He scoffs.] Don't mention it, really. It ain't a big deal.
[That was to say he'd learned more than he could ever voice from her and it was the least he could do, not to mention, he enjoyed the idea of spending more time with her. He could have just said that, but that really wasn't his style.]
Ah, but Minato isn't here. [ Which, she supposed, put her back in charge. Not that she wasn't kind of in charge of things outside of Tartarus anyway....but hey, nobody needed to talk about technicalities. Well, she thinks it's a big deal, but she can tell when to let something go with him. ]

Not a bad idea. I'll keep my ear to the ground around town. You're better at info collection than me, but I can get a feel for the place.
