Asirpa, who ended up traveling with Sugimoto, hated the miso soup that Sugimoto frequently ate, calling it "osoma" (poop). While miso is commonplace for Japanese people, it seems to have no connection to the Ainu people. One day, Sugimoto visits Asirpa's village, thinking of her and leaving alone without telling her. He is later captured by Lieutenant Tsurumi, but manages to escape safely with the help of Asirpa and Shiraishi. However, the mood between Sugimoto and Asirpa is tense. Shiraishi is the one to clear the air and lighten the mood by making a sakura nabe (hot pot), which is seasoned with miso. Asirpa puts the sakura nabe (hot pot) with the ooze in it into her mouth! Delicious! Since then, Asirpa has become obsessed with miso.
