Is this how you work it? I really need some-oh, it's on! Great! It was getting frustrating after a while, but it...looks like the video on this thing is working.

[And so the face of a spikey-haired boy comes into view, his face showing signs of excitement.]

Ciaossu! Listen, there's a problem here. See, this place keeps on popping up on my computer, and I've tried several times to make it go away. But, it just won't! I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyways, it's really starting to clog up my computer by this point, and I'm wondering if there is any way to just make it go away. What is this place supposed to be, some sort of...social network site? This is all sounding way too familiar with what Natsume-san does.

...oh, right! I forgot about it. Ahem, my name is Souhei Sasahara, but my friends call me "Sasayan", so feel free to call me that. If you have any idea on how to help me, please let me know! If it doesn't go away then... [A bit of despair seemed to flash on his face at that point, quickly replaced by his usual grin.] Thanks, you've been helpful!

[Okay, well the "Ciaossu" caught her attention.]

You speak Italian?

Ehe, you caught that, huh? Nah, it's probably the only Italian word I ever use. I just like the way it sounds, ciaossu! [He sticks out his tongue and rubs the back of his head.]

Oh. [She looks a little disappointed, but still smiles.]</small. Ha...I was made fun of for pronouncing it like that when I was actually in Italy.

Wait, you went to Italy before? Ah, that must have been why...ah, they don't actually pronounce it like we do? [His face become a bit rosy.] Ah, whatever, it's not like I'll ever meet some Italians.

I lived there for several years while my parents worked there.

Oh! I didn't mean to make fun of you, though! I just meant that it can be hard to fit in at different places.

Oh! So you know some Italian, then? Hehe, maybe you can teach me some more phrases.

No, no, it's fine, don't worry about it. I get what you mean about fitting in, though, it can be difficult. But me... [A smile forms on his face.] What's your name?

Oh, I'm Izumi Orimoto.

I'm actually fluent in Italian now. If you wanted to learn some I wouldn't mind teaching you.

Oh, so you are Japanese! Heh, here I was thinking you're Italian. But anyways, nice to meet you, Izumi-san!

Ah, really? That's swell, I could actually do with learning some more phrases besides "ciaossu"!

I am. My mother is part Italian, though. They actually met in Italy.

Eh, you are?! Well, I better not assume things then. [He scratches the back of his head and laughs in embarrassment.] Hey, that's actually cool! I wish my parents had a back story like that.

I guess it is a pretty romantic story. [She smiles softly.]

I bet, Italy is a pretty cool place.

Wait, where do you live now, Japan?

Yes. We moved back a few months ago. I like both Italy and Japan. They're both great places to live.

Swell enough, I suppose. Comparing the two, though, which one would you say is better?

I really couldn't compare. They're both great in their own way.

[When she said that, he began to laugh.] It's swell that you think highly of both places. Honestly, though, nothing could beat the feeling of being at home.

Well, that's true. But it feels like I have a lot of homes now.

Heh, I wouldn't know that feeling, actually, seeing as how I lived here my whole life. How'd you like it in Italy?

I really liked it. The food was really good. It's hard to find really good Italian food in Japan.

The food? I've actually never tried some, actually, so I wouldn't know what it is to actually eat it...

Ahhh~

You're missing out then!

Am I? I bet it can't be the luxurious Japanese cuisine!

Edited 2013-02-23 05:19 (UTC)

Ah...I really don't think I'd ever be able to choose between the two. I'd rather just eat both!

You know, all of this food talk is really making me hungry now. What exactly do Italians have, anyways?

Pasta! Lots and lots of pasta! Oh, and pizza too. Ah, it's got me hungry too now!
