Ayumu Ep. 2: Nostalgic Flavor
At lunch, you and Ayumu go to the cafeteria together. You're very impressed by Ayumu's homemade, beautifully done boxed lunch.
Player
Whew, it's finally lunch!
Ayumu
Rough morning?
Player
Ayumu!
Ayumu
You didn't fall asleep in class, did you? I was worried after seeing how sleepy you were this morning.
Player
Oh, umm… Nope! I'm fine. I was awake the whole time.
Ayumu
*Giggle* Are you telling the truth? And what's that on the corner of your mouth?
Player
Huh? O-Oh no! I thought I wiped that drool off my face!
Ayumu
Ahaha! I was just kidding. So you were sleeping in class!
Player
Just a little. I'm going to have someone show me their notes later, so it's fine.
Ayumu
That means you were sleeping a lot. Well, let's get some lunch to perk you up!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Man, this cafeteria really is popular. All the seats filled up while I was getting food. Hey Ayumu, sorry I took so long!
Ayumu
Welcome back. Did you get today's special?
Player
Yep! I see you brought your lunch today.
Ayumu
Yeah. I talk to my mom the day before about what to make and get the ingredients ready.
Player
Cool. Your lunch always looks so colorful and delicious. You put a lot of time and thought into it, don't you?
Ayumu
N-Not really. I'm clumsy so I end up cutting the vegetables in weird shapes and I usually burn my rolled eggs, too.
Player
Really? I think eggs that are a little charred look tastier. Look, the ones in your lunch today seem particularly good.
Ayumu
You think so? Here, have one.
| Option 1: “I wasn't trying to get you to give me one!” |
|---|
| Player Uh… Sorry! I wasn't trying to get you to give me one! Ayumu That's okay. Consider it a gift for saying it looked so good. It might not be as good as today's special, though. |
| Option 2: “Oh, can I?” |
| Player Oh, can I? But then you won't have enough! Ayumu Don't worry about it. I actually packed extra because I wanted you to try some. I'd be glad if you did. |
Player
Thanks. Don't mind if I do, then. *Munch*
Player
Mm, this is delicious! The seasoning is perfect. Exactly how I like it!
Ayumu
Great!
Player
Rolled eggs seems simple to make, but they're actually very complex. Everyone cooks them to various consistencies, with different seasonings.
Ayumu
You're very particular about rolled eggs. Do you remember when we ate with our families during field day at elementary school?
Player
Yeah, I made a big deal about how the eggs didn't taste like they always did. Just forget about that! It sure is embarrassing thinking about it now.
Ayumu
I can't forget something like that! That's an important memory I have with you, embarrassing or not. That's why I worked so hard on this…
Player
Wait, what?
Ayumu
Nothing! I didn't say anything! Let's hurry up and eat before lunch is over.
Player
Uh? Okay.
