Riko Ep. 22: A Surprise Companion

You head to Numazu to see Riko with a surprise in tow. However, Riko's look of suspicion tells you that the cat may be out of the bag…

Player

Here we are in Numazu! Um, Riko should be… Aha! There she is waiting for us! All right, I gotta stay calm and collected. Just act like normal…

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Riko!

Riko

Welcome! It's good to see you. You must be tired after such a long journey.

Player

*Giggle* I had fun on the way here because…er… I was just so excited thinking about seeing you and the rest of Aqours!

Riko

…………

Option 1: “Why are you staring?”

Player

Riko? You're staring… Is there something on my face?

Riko

No… I must have just been imagining things…

Option 2: “What's wrong?”

Player

What's wrong?

Riko

That's what I want to ask you. Is something wrong?

Ai

Surprises are a sure prize!

Riko

Eeeeeeeeek!

Ai

Ahahaha! What a great reaction! Nice textbook scream of terror there, Riko!

Riko

Ai! Wh-What are you doing here?!

Player

I actually ran into her at the station.

Ai

She told me that she was gonna go sightseeing here in Numazu with you, so here I am as well!

Player

I thought about calling you first but figured that it might be more exciting if we had Ai burst in as a surprise… I-I'm sorry!

Riko

I see… I thought you were acting oddly. It's because you were trying to hide Ai, right?

Player

Was I really acting that weird?

Ai

Yep. You did seem very suspicious.

Riko

*Giggle* You have to keep your act up properly the whole way through if you want to pull off a surprise! Maybe you could work a bit more on your acting.

Player

Agh… Yes ma'am…

Riko

And also, Ai? Are you sure you should be here today? You don't have other plans or anything?

Ai

Yeah, totes! What about you?

Riko

What do you mean?

Ai

Like, you know… 'Cause I showed up last minute and all.

Ai

I was super happy and excited to come to Numazu to see you, but I was a bit worried I might mess up your plans.

Player

If any inconveniences crop up I'll… I'll handle it!

Ai

No, no, I will too! I'll do my absolute best to handle anything that comes our way!

Riko

*Giggle* It'll be fine. I'm very happy I could see you too, Ai. Let's have ourselves a good day today.

Ai

Rikoooooo!

Player

Thank you, Riko…!

Riko

All right now, are there any places in particular that you two would like to go to? I'll take you anywhere you like!

Ai

Yeah. We traded some ideas on the way here, and we totally wanna go somewhere with a local feel!

Player

Tourist spots are great too, but we thought it'd be nice to look around where you and the Numazu locals normally shop and see the kinds of scenery you see every day.

Riko

Are you sure? I'm not sure it'll be interesting enough…

Ai

Yup, we're sure. Show us more of your day-to-day life!

Riko

…All right. I'll show you everything the town I now call home has to offer!
