Xylose


Usagi-san has very carefully plucked the shreds of green pepper from his rice and finished the rest of his meal cheerfully. Misaki points at the little discarded pile and says, "Eat your vegetables, Usagi-san."

"Technically, they're fruits," he says in his irritating, know-it-all voice.

"Eat them!" barks Misaki.


Short story is short. (I promise one tomorrow to make up for it.)

Also, your pointless fact for the day is that xylose is found in seeds and edible plants, particularly vegetables. And that the green pepper is technically a fruit.
