　The difference between "nikuman" and "buta-man" is that in Kansai, where most beef is produced, the word "meat" means beef, so to avoid misunderstandings, the word "buta-man" is used for simplicity. It would be different if it became a product name.

　I should also go and say hello to the spirit who has taken over the white role for me. I am in such a hurry when I go to the temple that I try to move quickly without stopping at the courtyard. Partly because the rabbit girl is hanging around if I'm not careful, not to mention Ekaterina, but more because I feel a little guilty and can't make up my mind to visit the temple.
