You really like not listening, don't you...? [Ren says that rather idly, as if it's an observation even the most casual viewer could make.

I've seen Yoshiko-san running around and I know she's Japanese like me, and we certainly had them as well. And I've talked to her about takoyaki before when she made it for a party.
