Ai Ep. 7: Visiting Ai's House

Ai invites you to celebrate after her solo event ends without a hitch. Where could she be taking you?

Player

Ai, are you sure we can hold the after-party for the solo event at your place?

Ai

Yeah, sure! Didn't I tell you my family runs a monjayaki restaurant? There are always people hanging out there. Don't worry about it.

Player

What? You live at a monjayaki restaurant?!

Ai

Yup, and they're incredible. You're in for a treat!

Option 1: “I'm drooling already.”

Player

Cool, I'm drooling already! I'm actually kinda hungry.

Ai

*Laugh* Since you're a V.I.P., you can have as many helpings as you want, no charge!

Option 2: “Oh yeah? I'm not easily impressed.”

Player

Heh heh. Okay, but when it comes to savory foods, I'm not easily impressed.

Ai

Hah! Our restaurant has blown away many a savant of savory snacks.

Player

Then I gratefully accept your generous offer!

Ai

All right! You're gonna be savoring my savory monjayaki special!

Player

Huh? That lady's waving at us. Do you know her?

Ai

Oh, that's the tofu shop lady. She always gives us her extra soy pulp!

Ai

Ma'am! I'm gonna drop by later! Have the usual ready, okay?

Ai

Oh, it's the lady from the greengrocer's. Whoa, can I really have this much? I'll be back to buy more. The sorbet we make from this fruit is a huge hit with our customers!

Player

(Ai's so popular.)

[Fade in/out.]

Ai

I'm home! I brought a friend with me today!

Player

H-Hi!

Ai

You can sit there. I'll go prep the batter.

Ai

Oh! It's the lady from the tea shop! Come on in! Rice cakes and spiced cod roe again? Ha ha! You like that topping, don't you?

Player

(Ai's talking to all the customers. She's popular not just as a school idol, but here at this restaurant, too.)

Player

(Maybe Ai's so friendly because she was born and raised in this environment.)

Ai

Here you go. Enjoy! Hey Prez, sorry to keep you waiting! I'm gonna whip you up my special monjayaki right now!

Player

Oh, don't worry about me. Business here seems to be pretty hectic.

Ai

No, no, you and I are supposed to celebrate today! Besides, I wanna thank you for everything.

Player

Huh? Thank me?

Ai

Well… Geez, I feel totally embarrassed saying this out loud, but…thanks for asking me to become a school idol.

Ai

I've always been perfectly content with where I was, but after joining the School Idol Club…

Ai

Sharing the struggle with you, putting on live shows that turn out to be huge successes… It's been, like, a total blast!

Ai

I feel like every single day, I get to see all the new sights you were talking about. I'm so grateful to you, you know? *Giggle* Listen to me. I sound so serious!

Ai

Anyway, my special monjayaki is ready! Dig in!

Player

I-I'm the one who should be thanking you. Your performances have all gone beyond anything I could've imagined. I'm so glad I asked you to join!

Ai

C'mon, now! What're you trying to do, make me cry?!
