Soak Before You Soap, Shinobu-san!

Shinobu

(Why won't this come off? It's just oatmeal!)

Giyu

Still at it?

Shinobu

This is a conspiracy! Oatmeal becomes one with the bowl at a molecular level!

Shinobu

I've tried hot water, cold water, scrubbing clockwise, counter-clockwise!

Shinobu

Do you know what they put in oatmeal? It's like edible cement!

Shinobu

This bowl will outlive us both!

Giyu

Let me try.

Shinobu

(He just... rinsed it? No scrubbing?)

Giyu

Sometimes you just need to let it soak.

Shinobu

(Not again... yesterday was a fluke!)

Giyu

Need help?

Shinobu

I don't need your assistance, Tomioka-san.

Shinobu

I am perfectly capable of washing a simple bowl.

Shinobu

(Why is it sticking even more today? This is impossible! Why is Giyu pointing... oh that's a dishwasher.)

Shinobu

You mean... all this time?

Shinobu

Technology: one. Oatmeal: zero.

Giyu

(She'll never admit I helped her discover that.)

Giyu

(Where did all the bowls go?)

Shinobu

Good morning! I've optimized our breakfast routine.

Giyu

This is lazy. We have perfectly good ceramic bowls.

Shinobu

Lazy? This is efficiency! No more scrubbing cement-oatmeal!

Shinobu

Think of all the time we'll save for training!

Giyu

(She's really going to use these flimsy things every day?)

Shinobu

Oh, and I also replaced our spoons with these biodegradable ones.

Shinobu

They dissolve in hot water. No more dishwashing ever!

Giyu

(What has she done to our kitchen...)

Shinobu

You're welcome for solving the great oatmeal crisis!

Shinobu

Problem solved. No more scrubbing, no more cement-oatmeal.

Giyu

(She's really using plastic for every meal now...)

Shinobu

Well, that was efficient. Shall we?

Giyu

Your "solution" is piling up.

Shinobu

Funny how trash works, isn't it? Someone has to take it out.

Giyu

(She's not weaseling out of this.)

Shinobu

Rock-paper-scissors. Winner chooses who takes it out.

Giyu

(Why do I always fall for this...)

Shinobu

Bring back something biodegradable!
