Sutu

After a night of explaining things to Sugimoto, Offering a bear cub to Huci, and Sugimoto getting offered to marry Asirpa, You all left in the morning to hunt.

"Hey Sugimoto," Asirpa called,"This a raomap, it's used for catching fish. One was set up yesterday so we're pulling it up today." She finished. A trap was pulled up and a shit-ton of fish was in it.

"Whoa you caught a ton!" Sugimoto yelled, excited for some reason.

"No shit, Sugimoto" You muttered

"These are Sakhalin Sculpins. Since it's winter, they's grown a nice layer of fat and are really tasty." Asirpa taught," We'll gut them and make a nice hotpot."

"Awe man, I let my knife and bayonet at your house." The grown man whined

"Go and get them you dolt!" You and Asirpa yelled in unison. "IF you don't clean them right away, the flavor will sufferrr" Asirpa finished, raising up her knife to she she meant it

"So cruelll" Sugimoto whined while running to get his stuff. You sat there with Asirpa, gutting some of the fish using your nails. They come in handy a LOT, whether being used for chasing men, or cutting up somebody in a fight, They're useful as hell. You put them in a bag.

"Asirpa, let bring these to Huci so we can have a hotpot!" you smiled, really  excited to have hotpot. Asirpa nodded curtly, not fully trusting you yet.

"Come on Asirpa, if I trusted your Aca enough to put tattoos on my body, and he trusted me enough to tell you about me. Then, I'm pretty sure we can trust each other. I mean, you two are so much alike!" You whined lightly. You really wanted to see the jovial side of Asirpa Wilk spoke so fondly of. Asirpa sighed,

"I guess I'll trust you. But it's only cause I don't want to see Sugimoto kill you." You grinned,

"YOSH! let's meet up with Sugimoto and make HOTPOT!" YOu shook the girl excitedly.

"(Y/N), I reallly don't understand you sometimes."

"OF course you don't sweetie. You've only known me for about 8 hours."

Meeting Sugimoto with the bag, at the front of the cise, you gave Huci the bag of fish.

"Look at all we caught obaa-san!" you and Sugimoto grinned.

Huci started rubbing the fish. Then she carried one to her nape, muttered something in Ainu, and placed it back in the bag.

"uhh Asirpa, we both need you to explain." You whispered.

"Ah right. Every time you get or receive food, you must share some with your guardian Spirit. We call them Turenpe. They come in and out through the back of the neck. Everyone's is different. Some can even protect your fate. Some Ainu can see your Turenpe. Huci can see them a little bit," We all moved inside the house since it was far to cold outside."Only old folks still offer food to them these days."

"Can we make the hotpot please Asirpa." You whined, getting impatient. She shook her head and gathered the,

"Daikon, Carrot, Potato. Spinach and Kombu. We've also added roasted sculpins. With the sculpins flavoring the broth, Our Kinohaw is finished!"

"Kinohaw." you repeated, making everyone a bowl. Sugimoto rubbed his and placed his hand on his nape repeatedly, then look at Huci to get a nod of approval.

"Itadakimasu!" You and Sugimoto clasped your hands together before eating. Picking up your chopsticks you  and the evil war-man dug in. Sugimoto's eyes widened.

"MMM, this is great! The sculpin fish broth is really rich and flavorful!" He criticized constructively. You nodded in agreement.

"Now I see why it's called Kinohaw! It's been such a long time since I've had so many root vegetables!" You said with a mouth full, almost spitting it out on the fire. Then you had a maniacal look in your eyes.

"Hey Sugimoto, you know what this would go great with?" You asked smirking a bit.

"Already ahead of you, (Y/N)." Sugimoto pulled the miso out and Asirpa frowned.

"NO Sugimoto! Don't pull out your osoma here!" She groaned. Sugimoto had already put miso in yours and his bowl. 

"What was that? I wasn't paying attention." You deadpanned. 

"Here Grandma, It's miso" Sugimoto offered it to Huci. Huci offered it to her Guardian Spirit. YOU laughed and shook your head.  Asirpa had a blank expression on her face, but held a dark look in her eyes.

"Sugimoto~ You just served PPOOP to her guardian spirit?~" She was carrying a weird looking stick. 

'Shit.' you thought.

"I told you- HOLY CRAP WHATS WITH THE WEIRD LOOKING STICK?!" Sugimoto screamed. YOu whispered in his ear, "Saichi, it's a punishment rod, also called a sutu. They'll beat the shit outta you with it."

Huci just sat there and grinned.

(I'm really liking this though barely anybody is reading it.)
