After School

NonokaHm-hm-hm-hmm~♪

NonokaHey, there's Ricchan.

RitsuThank you, as always.

???No, I'm the one who should be thanking you.

???Come by again anytime!

RitsuI will. Goodbye.

NonokaRicchaaaaaan!!

RitsuNono-chan. What a coincidence.

NonokaWas that your friend?

RitsuOh... No. He's the owner of my go-to ramen shop.

NonokaA go-to place...!

RitsuI eat there fairly often, and sometimes I order delivery for lunch too.

RitsuI guess he started recognizing me at some point. He just gave me a discount coupon for being a regular.

NonokaA regular...!!

NonokaRicchan, that's amazing! It sounds so grown-up!

RitsuDoes it...?

NonokaYeah, so cool~! Nono-chan has never had a "go-to place" or been "a regular" before!

RitsuThen would you like to go together sometime?

NonokaReally?! Can I?!

RitsuOf course. I'd really like you to try it too, Nono-chan.

NonokaYay~! Count me in, count me in~!

NonokaGoing with a regular makes it even more exciting!

RitsuYou're making too much of it.

NonokaBut you know the place really well, right? I wanna hear your recommendations!

RitsuMy recommendations...?

RitsuTheir specialty is a light soy sauce ramen with a crystal-clear broth. The broth looks beautiful and smells amazing.

RitsuI heard the owner personally adjusted the noodle recipe to pair perfectly with the broth. So I'd normally recommend starting with the soy sauce ramen, but...

RitsuPersonally, the salt ramen is my favorite. It's light, but what makes it special is its depth of flavor.

RitsuHmm... Which one should I have you start with...? Then again, their tanmen is popular too...

NonokaWhoa... Ricchan, you're on a roll!

RitsuOh, I'm sorry.

NonokaNo, keep going! I wanna hear more!

NonokaI could hear how much Ricchan loves it in every word!

RitsuHehe... Enough that once I start, I can't seem to stop.

NonokaThen I'll start with your favorite, the salt ramen...

RitsuWait.

RitsuOn second thought, the soy sauce ramen might be the best way to appreciate the owner's craft.

RitsuActually, knowing you, Nono-chan, you could probably manage both the soy sauce and salt ramen.

NonokaThe have-it-all course!

RitsuAnd meat gyoza on the side. They're stuffed to bursting, and I highly recommend those too.

NonokaThe have-it-all course just evolved into a full-on feast!

NonokaHehe... This is gonna be so much fun~♪

RitsuYes...!
