SHIORIKO: "So this is a diner..."
AKI: "Well, yeah... It's the Shinoda Family Diner. I think the Manga Club's President's family owns it or something."
AI: "What's up, Shio-ti? You look tense."
SHIORIKO: "Oh, I apologize. I actually have never set foot in a diner before."
KASUMI: "Whaaat?! Really?!"
KANATA: "What sort of restaurants do you usually go to? Are they, like, fancy sushi restaurants, or where chefs cook on an iron grill right in front of you?"
SHIORIKO: "I hardly ever eat out. When she isn't busy, my mother cooks my meals for me."
KARIN: "Home-cooked meals are the best."
EMMA: "Do you ever stop by anywhere after school, then? I'd love to take you to that taiyaki shop that we all went to together, once."
SHIORIKO: "After school? Until now I have just gone straight home. I also have a limited allowance as well."
AKI: "Huh?"
RINA: "Your allowance... Is it, like a million yen?"
SHIORIKO: It is ¥3000 per month."
KASUMI: "Whoa, really?! That's the same as me! Aren't you super rich, though?"
SHIORIKO: "It's the truth. I would not lie about my allowance."
AKI: "I must admit that I'm a little...surprised. I did not expect that at all, considering how wealthy the Mifune family is."
SHIORIKO: "That may be so, however, I do not contribute to our income at all."
AKI: "I see, so you have to use whatever money you have logically. Kinda makes sense from a business standpoint."
SHIORIKO: "However, you said Akihiko that you would be covering the bill this evening. I assume that the Suzuki family grants you a large allowance."
AKI: "True, however, my allowance isn't merely for just leisurely purposes. Whilst my tuition fees are taken care of, the money my parents give me is to cover my living expenses, considering I am left alone most of the time in my apartment."
SHIORIKO: "Are you sure that you should be spending that money on us?"
AKI: "Of course, I decide what I do with it. I'm just one man, so feeding myself doesn't cost a lot. Let me treat you all this evening. Besides, it's nice to hear how relatable you are, Shioriko."
SHIORIKO: "I am the same as the rest of you. A normal high school student. Please do not give me special treatment."
SHIZUKU: *Giggle* "Well, let's make your first time at a diner a memorable experience!"
KASUMI: "It's a special occasion, so order anything you like! My kind and wonderfully generous Senpai will cover the cost."
RINA: "Shioriko, here's a menu."
SHIORIKO: "Oh my goodness, there are so many items. I'll have a tough time deciding what to order."
AKI: "Why don't we start with some self-serve drinks for all of us first?"
KASUMI: "All right. I'm gonna go get my drink!"
...
AKI: "I'll be honest with you. We came here this evening to bond more with you, Shioriko. Also, we wanted to give you this."
SHIORIKO: "What is it?"
AYUMU: "We heard that you didn't know what song to write, so we all thought about what kind of song would suit you. I wrote down some ideas about the impressions I get from you."
SHIORIKO: "What?"
KARIN: "I picked out some songs by artists who seem similar to you, Shioriko."
RINA: "I drew a picture of what you seem like to me."
KANATA: "I recorded myself humming some melodies I came up with while thinking of you."
SHIORIKO: "Oh, wow... You did all of this for me?"
SETSUNA: "I have some ideas, too! In my head, Shioriko, the theme song of an enemy commander in this very famous movie would suit you. Do you know it?
The commander wears a mask that really makes him look cool. Though he's the movie's antagonist, he's arguably even more popular than the main character!"
AKI: "...You wouldn't be referring to THAT character would you? The one with the laser sword?!"
SETSUNA: "That's the one! I brought the soundtrack with me. Please give it a listen, Shioriko!"
SHIORIKO: "...This isn't quite what I had in mind."
SETSUNA: "Aw, really?! I thought it was perfect for you."
Um...not sure if that's the best comparison to make.
Setsuna's a little confused but she's got the spirit.
SHIORIKO: "Now I am really curious about your mental image of me, Setsuna. I would certainly like to ask you more about it."
Yikes.
SHIORIKO: "But for now... *Giggle* Thank you so much."
AKI: "All right, let's all give Shioriko the stuff we've brought for her. I hope this gives you some inspiration."
SHIORIKO: "I am very grateful. I will certainly use all of them to inspire me."
KASUMI: "I'm baaack! This is my special Kasumin concoction...
Wait, what?! You all gave Shioko your inspiration items already? No fair? I had something, too!"
SHIORIKO: "Thank you, Kasumi."
KASUMI: "I promise, mine is the most inspiring thing of the bunch! Also, here's a special beverage that I made just for you, Shioko!"
SHIORIKO: "For me? Let me try it." *Sip*
KASUMI: "Whaddaya think?"
SHIORIKO: "I-It's delicious! What is in it?"
KASUMI: "Heh, heh. It's my special Kasumin blend of five yummy juices."
SHIORIKO: "I did not know you could make your own drinks here. Diners are impressive."
KASUMI: "Uh, hello? You're supposed to be impressed by my ingenuity!"
AKI: "Right, right. Anyways, we'd better place our orders down."
SHIORIKO: "I'm still unsure about what to have first... But the banana pudding looks good for dessert."
AI: "Oh yeah, I've tried that. I guess you could say it was bana-nice!" *Laugh*
RINA: *Giggle* "That's a good one."
SHIORIKO: "I...don't get it."
