In an inset, Hayami still hangs from the telephone pole.] Hayami: .......... sign: Yakiniku Ryuuge narration: But, for now, they're still more like DUMPLINGS INSTEAD OF BLOSSOMS! = "dango instead of flowers" is a saying somewhat akin to the archaic saying "pudding before praise". is a sort of dumpling. The point being that you can eat or pudding, but (flowers) or praise doesn't fill your stomach. BTW, the meaning of the saying has no bearing on Kyousuke's line above. I just point it out to show why he chose those two seemingly incongruous items.> ---------------------------------------------------
