Vincent follows Youmu into the kitchen. She is silent as she begins preparing the ingredients. He sighs audibly.

"Hey, can I help you with something?"

"..."

"I mean, I'm no chef but I know my way around the -"

"There," she says without looking back. She points to some potatoes and a knife.

Vincent puts down his pack and begins peeling the potatoes. He continue helping her with the cooking, but neither of them manage to start a proper conversation. "Pass me the cooking oil," doesn't really count, he thinks. He can't blame her attitude, but he needs some assurance that he won't be knifed in the back. Sealing her ghost is the bare minimum he can come up with, considering the circumstances.

"I'll take the food to the dining room after I finish this last dish," Youmu says. "Wait in the dining room. It's just next door."

Vincent nods and takes his things into the dining room. He takes a seat and idly stares at the ceiling for a few minutes.

"I know you're there. Show yourself," he says without turning his head.

"Awww..."

The newcomer floats into the room through a wall. The woman has pink hair and she is wearing a blue and white kimono with frills at the edges. She smiles brightly as she puts a blue cloth hat with a strange spiral insignia on it. She seems to be levitating a few inches off the ground, and there are a few small wisps hovering around her.

"So, have you come to take my soul?" Vincent asks calmly. Despite her appearance, he senses an incredible amount of supernatural energy from her.

"Hmm," she mutters, cocking her head. "Would yours be tastier than sweet dumplings?"

"Nah. I expect mine to be quite bitter."

"Ara?" she says. Before he can react, she speeds beside him and takes a deep sniff.

"W-what the -"

"You have a refreshing scent. Maybe I'll have a taste before I say no."

Vincent stumbles backward in surprise. The woman leans forward and lowers herself dangerously close to his chest. He feels himself blushing furiously. The woman has a strange floral scent around her, and from this close, she looks captivating.

"It's been a while since we've had such a handsome visitor. Maybe I can show some of my hospitality..."

Someone loudly clears her throat.

Vincent turns his head to see that Youmu has entered with the food.
