Chapter 73 – It visits the afterlife (IV)

“It greets Thia.”

“Bowls.”

“It is perplexed by this greeting.”

“Bowls are the most versatile kitchenware.”

“It accepts the premise. Continue.”

“Bowls are the swords of the culinary world.”

“Understood.”

“It is here to ask for more advice on presents, correct?”

“Correct. It is impressed by Thia’s foresight.”

“Bowls.”

“Understood.”

“Everybody loves bowls.”

“Understood. It will give Amy a bowl.”

♢♢♢

“Oh, Thia! These bowls are great! How did you know I was planning to buy a set?”

“It posits: everybody loves bowls.”

“That’s true. Bowls are kind of like Thias.”

“It accepts the premise. Continue.”

“Everybody loves Thia, and she’s great to put strawberries into.”

“It denies the allegations.”

“…”

“. . .”

“FEEDING! As in feeding! I meant feeding you strawberries.”

“Understood.”

“Like when people say they need to ‘get a meal into them’.”

“Understood.”

“…So putting strawberries into somebody… just like you put things into a bowl…”

“Understood.”

“…I’ll shut up now.”

“Understood.”

“…”

“Amy is like a sword.”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“Everybody loves swords. Swords are great at digging holes.”

“Hah…”

“It will accept praise for the topical analogy.”

“…Hah. Anyways. Thanks for buying me these bowls. Love you.”

“It accepts the premise. Continue.”

“After I finish dying.”

“It wonders if Amy would like to play dishes instead of dying?”

“What are the rules? Is it anything like playing swords? I don’t really want to explode the kitchen.”

“It will wash the dishes while Amy dries them. Then Amy will wash the dishes while It dries them.”

“So basically you just want to do dishes together?”

“Correct.”

“You’re so cute. Okay. Let’s play dishes.”
