...More energy saving must be done for winter.

Attempting to calculate it all out is giving my boss and myself a headache.

if you need help...

Ah...but you are busy too, are you not?

The G20 Summit is happening now, too...

Even if I'm busy it wouldn't be like me to blow people off

Thank you, America-san. I appreciate the offer and will keep it in mind.

Sounds very stressful. My boss and I are thinking of the same thing. Its very difficult.

Yes...it seems to be the difficulty everyone is experiencing

Do you know how my boss and I make it a little easier?

...?

we eat this 27.media.tumblr.com/tumb...

do you want some?

....It's...pink.

yes. Its strawberry cake,

...Ah...I see.

It is quite a brilliant color

yes. And believe it or not, I had it ordered from your place.

....Oh.

.... I see.

You make great cakes.

I am glad you enjoy them.

what I love most is the sweetness of the strawberry and the generous amount of creme.

Ah...yes, we do like cream...

What kind of dessert do you like best Japan-sempai?

Me? Ah...I suppose it would depend upon the meal served before it...

dinner?

Ah, as I mean what sort of meal - French, Indian, Japanese...

A popular favorite of my people is fruit.

There is something very comforting and appealing about fruit.

Having someone peel apples for you is an often cited symbol of domestic happiness.

...Do you have a favorite dessert?

so you like apples?

ah, then I mean japanese meal

I like anything with berries(straw, blue, cran), caramel or chocolate

I see. And...yes, I suppose I do. Although it is more for the symbol that anything else.

It depends upon the season. Right now, chestnuts or persimmons are best.

With a Japanese meal perhaps something more traditional.

persimmons?

ah I see, its more on the act of peeling apples

traditional, like what?

Yes. I often do it for others.

And anmitsu or dango, I suppose.

looks delicious.

And doing it for others sound so sweet of you

They are a seasonal fruit here.

what is anmitsu or dango?

...It is simply expected.

Wow, they all look so beautiful

In fact, it looks to beautiful to eat.

Peeling apples, really?

I guess it's like if mom makes you apple pie from scratch...

it's real nice

I guess it'll be kind of sweet if someone, specially someone dear to you, peels an apple for you, huh?

apple pie with cinnamon?

0.tqn.com/d/japanesefood... Cut in this fashion, they are a symbol of the household.

Wow, that looks so pretty.

And it must be a lot of work on your part huh?

It isn't very difficult. It simply takes a steady hand and practice.

And that takes work. tis admirable of you.

...Thank you.
