Dia Ep. 23: This, That, and Everything!
Eli has come to the rescue and joins you and Dia on a trip to a shopping mall to find a present for Ruby. Dia tries to find the perfect present, but she can't decide among all of the choices.
Player
There's a variety shop here. Maybe you'll find something.
Dia
Daily essentials, interior furnishings, and even character merchandise and accessories! There's so much here that I can't make up my mind!
Eli
How about this necklace? The blue gem in it is really pretty.
Dia
It's wonderful! Blue looks amazing on Ruby too.

Dia
Oh! Perhaps she would look even more stunning with this bracelet as well. My goodness! I just know that this ring would suit her too!

Dia
This must be the tableware section. Come to think of it, Ruby's favorite plate cracked the other day.
| Option 1: “There are stuffed toys too.” |

| Player There are some cute stuffed toys over there too. Ruby would love those as well, wouldn't she? Dia Yes! She certainly would! They look like the perfect things to place on her bedside table. She's prone to feeling lonely, after all. |
| Option 2: “I'm sure she'd love all of these things.” |
| Player These all seem like things that Ruby would love. I don't know what to choose either. Dia Indeed! Having too many options is also troubling in itself… |

Eli
I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The lines at the registers were long so it took a while.
Player
Welcome back, Eli. You must be glad that you settled on a present for Alisa.
Eli
I am, and I owe it to the two of you. Thank you.
Player
Now we just need to figure out a present for Ruby.
Dia
My apologies. You two have offered me your help and I still can't quite decide on anything.
Eli
Don't worry about it. It's only natural to have trouble deciding when you have so many options.
Player
Why don't we wipe the slate clean and give it a fresh approach? Rather than thinking about what Ruby wants, what are some things that she likes?
Dia
Ruby likes sweet potato tarts, sewing, and…
Dia
School idols?
Eli
Yes, that's right! Ruby adores school idols.
Dia
Sh-She does, indeed, but does that mean her present should be school idol merchandise? Or perhaps I should make arrangements so that she can attend a live show?
Player
There's another thing that Ruby loves, isn't there?
Eli
Ruby loves YOU, Dia!
Dia
Me?!
Player
A live show by you! Why don't you make that your present to her?
Dia
My own live show? Would that really make a suitable present?
Eli
I think it's the best present you could ever give her!
Dia
Eli… Very well. If it will bring joy to Ruby then I will do just that!
Eli
Then it's settled. It won't be a live show where you perform as a part of Aqours, right? That'd be the same as usual. I'm guessing it'd be your own solo performance.
Player
About that! I've got a suggestion. So…
