Active [Ryken] No Way Home

[Spoiled Bread]

This RP takes place within the city of Ryken. Whether it was in the adventurer's guild or the city hall. Asahi found a crudely made pamphlet asking for help to cook dishes from Japan. It was definitely an out of place request and other people seemed to be ignoring it, thinking that Japan was some sort of backwater place. But he knew what Japan truly is, so he decided to come into the address in the pamphlet.

Asahi found himself at the city outskirt. In front of him was a cozy house that was a built a few distance away from the other houses, giving whoever living there ample room to enjoy the surrounding nature. Birds could be seen singing and bathing in a small puddle on the ground and he could spot squirrels running from one tree to another.

"Oh, my. A visitor?" Noticing his presence, a woman approached him from the back of the house. She was carrying a bucket of water on her left hand and a wooden scoop on her right. The tips of her fingers had a faded reddish color as if she just dipped them in some red paint and then failed to completely wash it. The woman seemed to be in her early thirty, with a rather unremarkable appearance except for her striking dark pink eyes.

"Are you looking for someone? My husband is currently at work so you need to wait until sunset if you want to meet him." She continued, confusing his intention for something else.​

Asahi Fujikawa

Asahi wandered through the outskirts of Ryken in search of a particular address among the quaint homes and cozy cottages nestled in the city's lee. Somewhere, among the scattered trees and closely cloistered houses, lay a mystery Asahi was bound and determined to unveil. You see, while searching the adventurer's guild job board for work, Asahi had stumbled upon a very much homemade pamphlet. Within this pamphlet was scrawled a very simple request to be taught authentic Japanese cuisine. He wasn't certain how long the pamphlet had been posted there, but it was very obvious no one was interested in full filling the humble request.

Asahi on the other hand was definitely going to do it. Not only did he enjoy doing simple odd jobs like this, but his curiosity was 10000000000% piqued. When he had first arrived here he had thought himself the only person to have been isekai'd; a product of too many lonely days spent watching anime. However, it didn't take long for him to figure out that there were plenty of others like himself. Some had been whisked away with magic or science, just like he had been, and others had died and were then reincarnated here. Although to the best of his knowledge he had not met any as yet, and this spoke to their rarity in compare with the native population. It was with this in mind, among a thousand other similar things, that Asahi had embarked on his mission.

Now, as he finally found the comfy looking villa set away apart from it fellows, Asahi found he had a peculiar feeling in his tummy. A flood of conflicting feelings and thoughts bombarded him as he strode onto the property. He felt like maybe he should turn back, maybe this was a mistake? Yet, fate would not play partner with him as a warm and feminine voice interrupted his existence.

"Are you looking for someone? My husband is currently at work so you need to wait until sunset if you want to meet him."

The sudden appearance of the thirty something woman was so jarring that Asahi tripped on his own feet, and stumbled forward a few steps before catching himself. He turned to look at her. His eyes traveling the length of her, noting everything from the dye tinted finger tips all the way to her mousy brown hair. Coming at last to rest within the depths of her dark pink eyes.

" Um..uh, er, t.this..." He stammered as he held up the pamphlet " I came to find the person who wrote this request."

The woman's eyes widen when she saw the pamphlet Asahi was holding, she was too stunned that she even dropped the bucket she was holding and spilled the water onto the ground below her. Her arms moved to cover her mouth as she tried to restrain her shock.

"F-for real? You actually come for my request?? Please come in." The woman opened the door into the house wide open and vanished inside.

The house was as cozy inside as it was on the outside, the first room that would greet any visitor would be a mixture of living room and kitchen. On one side there's the fireplace with wooden chairs and old sofa surrounding it, making it the perfect spot for a family to huddle together during a cold night. On the other side was a simple kitchen counter and a dining table placed next to it. Inside the room at the back of the house Asahi saw a glimpse of a dark room with what seemingly a large loom in the corner.

"I almost thought there wouldn't be any taker for it, you know. It had been two weeks and the guild keep pestering me for more money just to keep the request up." The woman chimes in as she appeares from a trapdoor that connects to the basement, she was hauling a box full of ingredients. She placed the box next to the dining table and started to sort the various vegetables and herbs on the table. Green leaves, mushroom, rice, tofu, beans, eggs, flour, alcohol and many more. There's an obvious lack of meat within the sorted ingredients except a few pounds of chicken breast and, surprisingly, a couple of squids that had been kept fresh inside another smaller box filled with ice blocks. Ryken wasn't built anywhere near the sea so the squids were likely the most expensive ingredients there.

"A-ah, where's my manner. My name is Aisha Reines, pleasure to meet you." The woman introduced herself and extended her right hand for a handshake.​
