Dia Ep. 10: Where I Want to Go with You
All three of you are enjoying your time at the karaoke tournament when Ai's phone lights up. It seems some urgent business has come up.
Player
*Siiigh*
Ai
Great work up there! You've got some pipes, kid!
Dia
I agree. You were quite stunning up there.
Player
You're kidding. I was so nervous, I could barely squeak the words out! Not to mention, I was out of tune, and my face was frozen stiff. You don't have to be nice about it.
Dia
That's not true at all. You sang perfectly well.
Ai
Yeah, what she said! Oh my gosh, you could even be a school idol, too! You've got way too much talent to just be hiding backstage all the time!
Dia
That's a wonderful idea! I would love to hear you sing for us again once you've had some time to prepare. Today was rather impromptu, after all.
Player
I-I can't! There's no way!
Ai
Aww, c'mon, don't be like that!
Ai
Hm? I just got a text. Hold on a sec.
Player
Yeah.
Ai
Hmm, let's see… Whoa, seriously?!
Dia
Did something happen?
Ai
Just got asked to go pick up some ingredients for the shop 'cause we're running out! They're apparently too full up to go get it themselves.
Player
The shop? Oh, right! Your family runs a monjayaki place.
Dia
In that case, you ought to pick those ingredients up right away!
Ai
Y-Yeah, right. Well… Sorry guys!
Player
It's no biggie, seriously. Thank you for today!
Dia
Yes, it was a lot of fun. I would love to see more of Tokyo with you sometime.
Ai
You got it! Later, dudes!
[Fade in/out.]
Dia
Off she goes.
Player
Yup. I sure hope she can make it in time… Oh, who am I kidding? This is Ai we're talking about.
Player
So what should we do now? We can keep wandering around this area, go back to Harajuku, or go somewhere else.
Player
Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Dia?
Dia
Me?
Player
Yeah. I mean, we're already out on the town, so if you have someplace you wanna go, just say the word!
Player
We can stay downtown or go a little further out. Just not too far.
Dia
Will you be showing me the way?
Player
Mm-hmm. I mean, I won't be nearly as good of a guide as Ai, but you know.
Dia
No, just having you with me is extremely reassuring. I've been to Tokyo plenty of times before, but I've always felt rather helpless on my own.
Dia
If you'll be my guide, then I do have somewhere I'd like to go with you. Is that all right?
