    Akagi-chan's Food-snatching 85

    In this world, fleet (armoured) carriers are kiddos.
    Food snatching list →im7054033

    Houshou-san is sometimes scary.

    ChibiAkaKaga couldn't wait for the food to actually roast up in the leaves, so they snatch it right out of them - which is one of the stereotypical martial-arts training methods (you have to move fast enough to not suffer burns). It's traditional in Japan to use swept-up leaves to burn them to roast potatoes; the chestnuts will be on coals or similar.

    The word that RJ uses for 'training' refers specifically to ascetic/martial-arts training, not vocational.

    Ahhh that explanations makes sense, the conversation between RJ and Houshou in panel 2 confused me, What I get is:

    Panel 2:
    RJ: why did you roast the potatoes and chestnut? weren't you cleaning the garden?
    Panel 3:
    houshou : Akagi and kaga interested in the potatoes and chestnuts, so they roasted it

    Maybe that question from RJ in panel 2 makes me confused, is it a dialect thing?
