"Yes, yes, dip me in salt and eat me. I hear you know where Nakime is. How about telling me?"
"Dip you in salt and eat you!!!"
"..."
Tetsu no Sosuke fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Tamayo.
Tamayo sighed. "That's how it is. I..."
"Do you have any salt?" Tetsu no Sosuke asked before she could finish.
