She is definitely the ‘Yamato Nadeshiko’ that all Japanese men love. The so-called ‘Yamato Nadeshiko’ was not a person’s name. However, it was a vocabulary unique to the Japanese culture referring to women who were quiet and reserved, gentle and considerate, mature and stable, possessed noble virtues, and also had an excellent temperament. It could be said that the ‘Yamato Nadeshiko’ type of woman was the goddess that all Japanese men dreamt of in Japan. It was also usually regarded by the Japanese men as the representative of the most ideal type of women that would be worth pursuing using their lifetime effort and energy.

“Why doesn’t she like anyone to call her by her real name?” “Huh?” Then Jane laughed, wondering why her friend was so interested in Ms. Ruka, the famous Japanese stylist who had changed her name from Jiro Tanaka to Haruka Tanaka.

She blushed and nodded timidly before running to the kitchen, following the girl called Fuyu. “I’m Rina Takada! Nice to meet you, Jai-san!” The little girl said, extending her small hand to Jai. Jai shook her hand. “Nice to meet you too, Rina-san.” “Hmm. You know, Jai-san. Strangers don’t usually call each other by their given name. They call each other with their surname.” Rina said. Jai raised his eyebrows. “Eh? Really?” Rina nodded. “Yes. It’s to be polite. For example, I should’ve called you Waetford-san, and you should’ve called me Takada-san.”

Well, that was the work of my lovable mom, because according to her, the word Kagura is a Japanese word which means entertaining the Gods. Doesn’t my name sound very holy? But even if it sounds feminine, I really love it – I like my second name because it makes me feel like I have Japanese blood, and I like to watch and read isekai anime or manga about protagonists who are reincarnated in another world and become super strong.

It hadn’t changed. Kenji chuckled softly. Their drunken conversation about samurai and shoguns had clearly been nonsense that Akiko didn’t remember. “Then what title do you think suits Danna-sama?” Kenji asked. He didn’t have any other ideas. “Nyoubou? No, no!” Akiko quickly dismissed the suggestion.

Why the hell am I writing a story like this anyway? Keep going! “I just miss my friends,” Alfi said.

"Do you call your wife by her last name?" Seth asks, slightly drowsy, covered in pelts. Tsuki looks over at Seth, "What?" "You called her Minami before." "Ah..., yeah. Her full name is Hinata Minami." "Don't you call lovers in Japan by their first name?" Tsuki sighs, "Well, we aren't actually lovers, I'm just helping her. That's all you need to know." "Right..." Seth rolls onto his side, his hand caressing his injured leg. "We'll be coming down the mountain to get our injuries treated. Can Hinata carry heavy things, like, a human?"

Not the ones who will slap you with money and ask you to leave their sons alone. “Okaasan.” Mother?! So, I was right! I quickly stood up and bowed to her. “Good morning, ma’am.” “Ma’am?” She giggled. “Oh, dearie… you can just call me Hanako, or Tita even.” I shyly bobbed my head and repeated: “Tita.” This was the first time I met anyone from Heiji’s family.
