Kirizuki on a Yōkaiwatch shift change
K: Prompt shift change for you tonight, I'm impressed.
M: Please, I'm always on time.
K: Suuuuure you are Miii-zukiii.
Kiriko prepares to Swift Step.
Mizuki hands her a neatly wrapped parcel in a bag.
His voice non-nonchalant as per usual.
It smells divine. Kiriko looks inside and sees roasted-duck, rice and veggies, neatly packed and steaming hot. Then she spots the heating-packs and chocolate covered honey comb blocks.
Flushed she looks over to Mizuki who already made himself comfortable on the look-out spot.
He finally caves and looks over to see her reaction.
M: You eat glazed doughnuts for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for weeks straight and suddenly you can't stop talking about roasted duck, medium rare steak and grilled pork belly?
K: You're tracking my... ?
M: Not like it's rocket science. Though you did almost bite my head off when my hat dripped rain water into HQ...
M: Literally normal biology, Kiriko. Go home, eat up, rest. I got this covered.
Mizuki tips his hat, resuming his comfortable look-out position, staring into the distance.
Kiriko tries to hide her blushing cheeks, knowing how much he just warmed her heart.
M: Anytime Kiriko. Now go home.
He stares into the distance as Kiriko contemplates the strange drop in the tone of his voice.
One swift step later and Kiriko is on her way home for her yummy treat, leaving Mizuki smiling into the distance. Luckily his hat is big enough to hide his own flushed cheeks.
