(OOC: thank you so much! I really don't have enough time to make progress worth mentioning, but I have fun dicking around with it anyway, and that is... something!)

That's it exactly! [Kappa-cucumber thought experiment! Woohoo!!] We must get to know and understand our youkai compatriots, after all.

[With a flamboyant gesture, Dazai turns to follow Yizhi. It's so enthusiastic that anyone witnessing might just think Dazai is the one leading the way.]

Soon, our names will be listed alongside the likes of Pavlov and Watson!

[... That is definitely not a good thing, in addition to incredibly disrespectful to youkai, but.... what the youkai don't know can't hurt them, probably. More importantly: what the youkai don't know can't make them want to hurt Dazai and Yizhi.

Also maybe Dazai is halfway asking for Yizhi's name, but he's not planning to push it. Besides, now that he knows what Yizhi looks like, things shouldn't be hard to find out, if Dazai really cares to.

He's in a good mood, actually! So maybe he'll even pay his share of the cucumbers, like a halfway decent person would. For science~!]
