Riko Ep. 9: A Late-Night Chat
Riko suddenly calls you one night just as you were thinking about her.
Player
What kind of song should I write for Ayumu this time? I wonder what Riko would do…
Player
Oh, I'm getting a call!
Player
Hello?
[Taking out phone.]
Riko
Hi!
Player
Oh, Riko?
Riko
Yes. What is it? You sound so surprised.
Player
Well, I was actually just thinking about you.
Riko
Huh? Really? Why?
Player
The Nijigasaki idols have an event coming up. I'm in the middle of writing songs for that right now and I was wondering what kind of songs you would come up with.
Riko
I see. Oh, is this a bad time then?
Player
No, no, not at all! What's going on?
Riko
Well, I was thinking of going to another classical concert.
Player
Your piano teacher's concert?
Riko
No, not this time. But my teacher is the one who gave me tickets for it because the orchestra performing is very famous.
Riko
So, I was wondering if you'd like to go with me.
Player
An orchestra?! I love seeing orchestras perform!
Player
When I hear all the instruments playing together, it just awakens all my senses. It's like all the excitement in my body is going to explode out of the top of my head!
Riko
*Chuckle* I'm glad to hear you like them as well. Can I take that as a yes then? It's next Saturday.
Player
O-Oh. I'm sorry. I don't think I can make it that day.
Riko
Will you be busy preparing for the event?
Player
Yeah. The event isn't until after the concert, but I have to come up with dances and costumes as well as songs, so I don't think I'll have any time to spare.
Riko
I see. I understand. You have to arrange everything for nine people after all, so I know you're very busy.
Riko
All right. I'll just go to the concert with my mom, then.
Player
I'm sorry. I really appreciate you inviting me.
Riko
Don't worry about it. Your upcoming event is much more important.
Riko
I'm a little disappointed about the concert, but I'm sure we'll have another opportunity like this one day. Can I invite you again when that time comes?
Player
You bet! We'll definitely go together next time!
Riko
Good luck composing as well. I'll be rooting for you. If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to call.
Player
Thank you. I'll make sure to create amazing songs for everyone! Have fun at the concert with your mom, Riko.
Riko
I will, thank you. I'll talk to you later then.
Player
Okay. Later!
