Day 148 - Cooking

Ma wants me to learn how to cook.  "You won't find a man without learning how to cook," she told me.  So I promised to come home early from my "flower picking", as she likes to call it, for my first lesson.

That's not the first time she talked about me getting married.  I guess all of the weddings that are going on at the shrine and the brides coming into the shop has her thinking and wishing about my own marriage.

Personally, I think she's lost her mind.  I'm too young and have too much to do around here to get married.  I want to see more of the world.  I want to make something of myself.  I want to find out who killed my father.  I can't let a husband hold me down.
