"Oh, please," Yukari waved her hand dismissively....thankfully, the hand with the pastry and not the coffee, "we're in America! Nobody's really that formal in America, are they? Just Yukari's fine! And, boy, I sure hope it is allowed or I'm about to be in a lot of trouble! But back home, I taught English to my Japanese students, so it just make sense that, over here, I'd do the reverse and teach Japanese to my English students! So konnichiwa! Genkidesu ka! That's 'hello, how are you?' Now you're ahead of the bend!"

Look at how good a teacher she was, teaching even outside the classroom! To someone who probably wasn't even one of her students! Yukari gave a happy, pleased sigh, mentally patting herself on the back with another sip of her coffee.

Which was terrible, by the way, just as she expected!

"Good!" Yukari offered, looking terribly pleased by the bad pronunciation, because that meant Lydia wasn't about to prove herself to be an unexpected prodigy who could outsmart her and make her look bad by being an instant savant! "Very good! Sugoi! That's how you'd say 'very good' in Japanese!"

Betcha didn't expect you'd get an impromptu lesson from clearly the world's best teacher, now, did you, Lydia! Ha!
