I was hoping you could help me settle a bet. I think
that Chikusa's shinki name is said CHI, like Chiki, but my friend here
thinks that it's said NA. Japanese is so hard! Can you help?
[ Nanako blinks at this message for a moment, because she's not sure if she knows the answer to that. ]
Umm. Hakkai's name for him? I'm not very good at reading some things yet either. [ She's seven. She also has trouble with this sometimes, she can sympathize with you, Gojyo. ] I'm not sure which it is. Couldn't you ask Hakkai? Or Chikusa?
[ Wouldn't that be an easier way of settling this bet? ]

No, I mean the name you gave him. It's Chiki, right?

Oh ha ha you're right! Chiki is the name Hakkai gave him. The one you gave him is Taki, I think? Isn't that how you read it?

That's an IN? I never would have guessed that. Japanese is so hard, isn't it?
[ The next time he's in the Near Shore he might just come back with... what do little girls like? A big basket of candy and a cute teddy bear, maybe?
Sorry about the little burr of guilt there, Hakkai. ]
