[Ayumu nods like a satisfied teacher. He seems to be a quick learner with a keen mind. Both are valuable qualities for a student. Not that she has any formal plans to take him on as a pupil. She doesn't take on many students but the ones she does come out stronger than they were before.
They just also tend to come out hating her. Perhaps rightfully so. At this time of the day, Ayumu has no reason to believe Susumu doesn't hate her for how she trained and treated him.]
Those are all good goals to have.... Information is important, even if it seems tiny, insignificant, or unrelated at the time. Others might see things differently and be able to make connections you can't.
[Ayumu still isn't consciously aware of what she's doing or why she's giving him so much advice. But subconsciously, interacting with the boy this way just comes naturally to her.]
You never know which skills or knowledge will be crucial to the completion of a job. Circumstances, objectives, and opponents can vary greatly so it's best to be versatile and well-informed about a variety of things you're likely to encounter just in case. With the right training, knowledge, and skillset, you can make yourself irreplacable.
[Or so she's always believed and it resulted in her excelling as a shinobi within the Oniwaban. And only one person could ever succeed her in skill and prestige - the brother she personally trained to replace and eventually surpass her.]
If you're interested in learning domestic skills, I could probably teach you, Kakimoto-san. I preside over the hearth, too, after all. And maybe I could join your studies sometime. I could stand to learn more about the Romans myself.
