Chika Ep. 19: Why She Was There
Today is the day that Chika will go hang out with You and Ruby. You set about preparing for the live show, hoping that the three of them will have a fun day. But then an unexpected person arrives!
Player
Phew! I sure am glad Dia came to help me. I would've had a tough time trying to borrow the clubroom key alone.
Player
The school's so quiet when there aren't any classes. And even more so when Chika and the others aren't around.
Player
Oh, but I don't have time to waste pining after them! I need to carry on with all the preparations I can while they're out.
Chika
Howdy! You're already here, I see. You're so early!
Player
What? Whaaaat?! Ch-Chika?!
Chika
Look at this! It's the fabric I ordered not too long ago! The craft store let me know they had some in stock, so I went to pick it up!
Chika
They had some stuff in stock that was sold out last time, so I bought that too while I was there. Now we can go ahead with designing our costumes without any worry!
Player
What are you doing here, Chika?! Weren't… Weren't you supposed to go hang out with You and Ruby today?!
Chika
…………
Chika
O-Ohhh nooo! Y-Yeah, I was!
| Option 1: “Did it get canceled?” |
|---|
| Player Your trip wasn't…canceled, was it? Chika N-No way! Last night I was even texting with both of them about what souvenir to get for you! |
| Option 2: “Did you forget?” |
| Player Let me guess… Did you forget? Chika N-No! I remembered when I got up, and I even got everything ready to go out. But then I heard that the fabric was back in stock, and I knew I had to go get some… |
Chika
What do I do?! It's WAY past when we were supposed to meet! I gotta tell You and Ruby. Um, uhh… Let's see… What was You's phone number again?!
Player
C-Calm down! You don't have to dial her number manually. You can get it from your call history or your contacts page!
Chika
R-Right! Call history, call history, call… Ack! I opened a game instead! Whatever, I'm just gonna run straight to the meeting spot!
Chika
Gaaah!
You, Ruby
(You) Whoops! (Ruby) Eek!
Chika
S-Sorry, I—wait, You?! Ruby?!
Player
Huh?! H-How come you're both here as well?!
You
Uh, just a hunch?
Ruby
Yeah. We thought that Chika might be here.
Chika
You! Ruby! I'm so sorry! I really meant to go hang out with you both… But I stood you up instead…
You
It's fine. You were working hard to help out with the live show.
Ruby
The fabric on the table is the one I said I wanted to use back when we settled on the costume designs, right? Thanks for buying it for me.
You
But leaving that aside, you're panicking way too much, Chika! I could hear you yelling from outside. Is your phone okay? You don't have that game still running, do you?
Chika
I'm really sorry. Especially since we had lots of plans for today…
You
We know just how much you were looking forward to today, but we also know how seriously you're taking this live show.
Chika
I just…wanted to help you guys out. I'm always counting on you two for everything, like making costumes and choreography…
Chika
But I guess there's not much point in helping you out if it means causing you trouble on the way.
Ruby
No way! Getting each other into trouble and then helping each other out is what friendship is all about. We're all in CYaRon!, so one person shouldn't carry all the burden.
Chika
You… Ruby… I'm sorry.
You
That's enough apologies from you, Chika! We wanna be as lively and bright and enthusiastic as CYaRon! should be!
Chika
You're right! Okay, then let's keep working hard, all three of us!
You, Ruby
Yeah!
Player
(I wasn't sure how things would go, but thank goodness everything worked out. The bonds between the CYaRon! members are way stronger than I expected.)
