[This past week, anyone trying to go to the okonomiyaki restaurant would find it closed, courtesy of the Malnosso kidnapping the owner and cook. However, that has changed today, today the restaurant is wide open, with a menu sheet on the door for everyone to see, it's the same menu as always though a lot of dishes seem to have been stroke out.

Inside there's one little monkey that goes for the name of Goku, doing his best to imitate all the things Ukyo does when she opens the restaurant, like cleaning and tidying up. He'll be more than ready to take food orders and will welcome everyone with a wide smile and a loud 'WELCOME TO UCCHAN'S OKONOMIYAKI RESTAURANT!'. Anyone feels daring enough to try this kid's food? Don't worry it's not poisonous, he can cook, but don't expect anything too complicated.]


[Later, in the afternoon, the journals will be greeted with a curious kid.]

Ne... Is Ucchan back yet?

[Rhetoric question, kind of, if she's back she will answer if not... Well, he won't get an answer, obviously. After a while more will be added to the feed.]

Does anyone know where can I get a home tutor? They are like teachers, right? Teach you things on your own, I don't wanna go to school but I wanna learn more things. Ginia-neesan is always writing but I'm still no good at understanding what she writes, I want to get better! Also I want to learn to write better to write to her too, she has a pretty handwriting! Ange-neesan too. And, and I want to write a letter to my friends. But if I do it now I'm sure Konzen will get angry because it's messy. I want to learn more than that too, so they will be impressed when they come here! So... Where can I get one of those home tutors? Please?

Ah! Also, how do you know if your flowers are thirsty? My Cosmos flowers are still babies inside their seeds so I can't look at them to know if they are thirsty or not.... I don't think I could know just by looking at them anyway, but the dirt in the pot seems dry. But I don't want to drown them! When I'm not thirsty I know I can't drink even another drop of water!

Oh, Ucchan's okonomiyaki restaurant is open again. I can take care of it while Ucchan is gone, I can't cook much but I'll do my best to make you delicious okonomiyaki!!

If you need to learn your writing, I could teach you.

[Small child is so cute ;A;]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

Really? Thanks! I want to be able to write tons of letters to send my friends telling them everything I do here!

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Of course! I'm sure your friends will love to hear from you.

[ ... Oh. She's been in a pretty piss poor mood lately, but.. she can never really bring herself to act annoyed in front of this boy, really. Even if she still ends up being somewhat lineface. ]

Are you sure you can run an entire restaurant on your own? It's a pretty tough job, you know, and you have to take care of a lot of things. Even if this.. 'Ucchan' is gone.

And about your handwriting, they do say 'practice makes perfect', right? If you just keep going, it'll automatically get better over time. Just keep working hard and all that.

[ voice ]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... I can't cook all the things in the menu but if people ask simple things I can do it! And I can keep it tidy and clean! And I know I have to get groceries so I have everything I need to cook and clean what I use very well so it stays in good shape. Hmmmm...

[Trying to remember what other things Ukyo did to run the restaurant.]

All I have to do is write? But I don't know how to write many words. Oh, maybe I could just make drawings when I get to words I don't know how to write!

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Ah, really? Seems you're already pretty accustomed to this kind of stuff, hm? ... Well, I don't doubt that you can do it, but it still seems like a lot of work for you to just do on your own, right? [ Considering he's just a kid and all too. ]

That could work. A drawing is something anyone understands, right? In fact, there used to be languages that consisted entirely of pictures in the past in my world.

[Action!]

[Well Nodoka promised to drop in sometime, so here she is. Poking her head inside and looking around tentatively. Wasn't this place closed recently? Ah well.]

Hello, Goku-kun? [What was that other name he used...?] 'Ucchan'?

[Action!]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

[LOUD YELLED WELCOME!!]

WELCOME TO UCCHAN'S OKONOMIYAKI RESTAURANT!!!

[The culprit... A tiny kid peeking at you from the counter. It should be noted that the kid shoulders barely reach the counter and he's standing on a stool. Goku's small, okay? But not as small as he was when they first met.]

[Action!]

[alreadyknowsyou.livejournal.com]

[OH HEAVENS. Jumping a little bit at the sudden shouting.]

A-Aah?! Th-Thank you!?

[Small things always seem to be so loud... Anyway, shouting over, Nodoka steps inside and looks around. She sees you just over the counter there Goku.]

I-It's nice to see you again! See, I came, j-just like I said I would.

Place your finger beneath the surface of the soil and test the material for moisture. Despite the top layer being dry, the soil beneath might still be sufficiently soaked~ This is all assuming that you have already have watered these blooms at least once of course.

[Yuuka remembers you. Mostly for being a bit of an idiot, but she still remembers you.]

Despite all this however, watering flowers can at times require your own judgment. If there has been a dry spell, a water spell would level out the magic as it were.

[Voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

[Goku remembers you too! You're the one who told him what planting was and to try with Cosmos flowers first.]

I have! But I'm worried to give it too much water or too little so I didn't know when to water them again.

[Anyway he'll go and try what she has just said... And returns a bit later, plants watered, he considered the soil was a b it dry.]

You can use magic with flowers?

[Voice]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Well there might be some hope for your poor blooms surviving yet~

[There's a sigh followed by a bit of laughter at the question.]

But of course you can. Are you aware of the seeds which grew a beanstalk high above the clouds, of the maiden trapped beneath a bed a of vines to be awoken by true love's kiss? Plants, and by extension flowers, can all be rather magical. [Leaving out the part where she uses flowers and magic, doo dee doo details.]

[voice]

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

Just water them everyday and you'll be fine. [A pause as she remembers something.] You know, you should also talk to them. Plants have feelings, too.

[voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

Everyday? Won't they drown or something?

[...]

Why wouldn't I talk to them? That would make them lonely and confused when they are born and start peeking outside the dirt.

[He has been talking to them since he got the seeds, girl.]

[voice]

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

I mean once everyday. Sorry for the confusion.

[A lopsided smile. That's just so adorable.] Well, that's good for you, then. I guess the seeds are lucky to have such a caring person like you.

[Link doesn't go to the okonomiyaki restaurant very much, but he's certainly noticed its closure since he's been back - and its reopening today. He pauses curiously before he notices who the one busily getting things together is.]

Hi, Goku! [Jogging over with a smile, he explains,] It's me, Link.

[Action]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

[Goku blinks at Link for a moment... Link you seem... Little.]

Link-niisan? Why are you growing backwards?

[First thin g that comes to his mind, this is obviously more important than saying hi or anything.]

[voice]

[ombra_lira]

Are there other things you would like to learn, Goku?

[voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

... What other things are there?

[No, really, what else? He has reading, writing, basic maths... Oh, well, he didn't mention those but he assumed they came in the package or something.]

[Voice]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

If your flowers are anything like the grass on the plains back home, you can tell if they need water by how moist the soil they're growing in is.

[This was an important thing to know for people with migrating herds to follow.]

As for writing... well, I'm not that good myself, but I'm sure there are plenty of people around who can teach you.

[Voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

I'm growing Cosmos flowers! I was told they are a good way to start learning to take care of flowers.

[The last part actually pings him seriously.]

You're not good at it either? But you're an adult, Lyndis-neesan.

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

I see plenty of people have offered, but I'd be more than happy to help you.

Oh! Are you okay by yourself at the restaurant? Is anyone else with you?

[Voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

But Ginia-neesan already helps me a lot, I always have to read what you say! That's helpful, right?

And yes, there are some customers!

[That totally counts as others being with him, except that she meant regarding taking care of the place, specifying that would have been a good idea.]

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

...I'd be willing to help you with your writing, Goku, if that's what you needed.

[Voice]

[justonename.livejournal.com]

I dunno if I need it, but I want to get better! Writing now is hard and I don't know how to write everything I want to say like Ginia-neesan does. Can you help me with that?
