* Hoshimi appears with a...box...? it looks like some lunchboxes wrapped on paper and with a bow with the scent of food, tho it seems a bit too overspiced and different from the usual foods on Japan *
" Hi Ryuji-san! I heard your birthday is near so... I think a good gift would be food. I did some things from where I lived a bit of my life on with the things we have here... most are corn-based so I hope you don't mind them... It's some Tapioca* I tried to do, Cuscuz* and Canjica*... and since it's your birthday, it's a bit of tradition having Brigadeiro... and the people from here tend to say they are overspiced, so I hope you think it's fine- "

This is a bit on the foods I mentioned if you're curious:
*Tapioca--made of cassava starch as some kind of crepe in the form of an taco(?) with some fillings, it is made on a cultural and seasonal festival that happens on june and july
*Cuscuz--is made of dehydrated and rehydrated corn flour, it's good to eat with things alongside it, like honey, cheese, eggs, etc.
*Canjica--is made by white corn and looks like a sweet soup made out of milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, sugar and some spices, it is usually made seasonally to a festival that happens on june and july made in honor of Saint John
*Brigadeiro--is made out of sweet condensed milk and chocolate, it is usually made and given on birthdays

Seeing Hoshimi standing before him with a box in their hands and an unfamiliar (although still quite pleasant!) smell coming from it - Ryuji's interest was almost immediately piqued as he wondered what might be inside of it.
"Whoa, so you made a box with foods from all the different places you've been? Heh, that's totally really creative!" As they began listing of all of the various different items, Ryuji found himself glancing down at each of them - one after the other. No doubt, they were different from anything he'd ever seen before in Japan but, hey…! Different didn't mean bad and he had always been curious about other cultures - especially their food! Not to mention the brigadeiro especially looked tasty - and the fact that it was a traditional birthday dessert? Incredibly cool and fitting too!
"Well, I've never been one to shy away from spice and I'm totally excited to try this birthday dessert of yours!" He beams, now holding onto the box. "What d'you say to trying this with me...? We can have us a little picnic and you can tell me all about it!"
