Shioriko Ep. 8: It's Okay to Depend on Others
Shioriko was happy to have her efforts recognized when the club members went to the student council room to check up on her. Some days later, Ayumu tells you that Shioriko isn't feeling well. How do you react?
[Fade in/out.]
Player
I wonder if Shioriko's okay? I had no idea she wasn't feeling well until you told me.
Ayumu
I think she only contacted me because we had plans to hang out today. I mean, she doesn't seem like the type to tell you things like that.
Player
Hm? You had plans to hang out?
Ayumu
Yeah. She invited me out because there's an art exhibition she wanted to visit.
Player
Do you guys, like, hang out a lot?
Ayumu
Not frequently, but I guess we have been hanging out often lately? We went to a handmade craft market the other day.
Player
Oh…
Ayumu
Something wrong?
Player
I dunno, I feel kinda jealous, or something.
Ayumu
What?! Y-You, of all people?!
Player
Yeah. It's strange, because I'm happy that you two are getting along.
Ayumu
Huh. That is strange. But I'm kinda happy to hear that as well.
Ayumu
Er, that was nothing! Forget what I just said! Oh, we're almost at the station!
[Fade in/out.]
Shioriko
Sorry for making you go to the trouble of coming all this way. I can't even offer you a meal because my parents aren't home today.
Ayumu
Does that mean you haven't eaten anything either?
Shioriko
I have leftovers from last night, but I don't have the appetite to eat them.
Player
But you need to eat to keep your energy levels up. What do you think you'd be able to stomach?
Shioriko
Good question. Something light and refreshing, I guess?
Ayumu
Do you think you'd be able to eat some rice porridge or fruit?
Shioriko
Probably.
Ayumu
Okay. Do you mind if I use your kitchen, Shioriko? I'll make you some porridge.
Shioriko
No, you really don't have to! I couldn't possibly make guests of mine cook for me.
Player
Shioriko, it's best for you to just accept Ayumu's kindness here. Her rice porridge hits the spot, no matter how non-existent your appetite is.
Shioriko
But…
Ayumu
I'll have to use your rice and seasonings and such, but I really do wanna cook you some. Can I?
Shioriko
I-I wouldn't stand in your way!
Shioriko
I'm so sorry. Not only have I broken our promise to hang out, but now I'm causing you all of this trouble.
| Option 1: “This isn't any trouble at all.” |
|---|
| Player Shioriko? Ayumu doesn't think this is trouble at all. Shioriko I see… Um, thank you so much, Ayumu. |
| Option 2: “This isn't something you should be apologizing for.” |
| Player Don't say things like that. You have nothing to apologize for. Shioriko In that case… Um, thank you, Ayumu. I accept your kindness. |
Ayumu
*Giggle* You're welcome. I only get the chance to spoil you in times like these, so I'm gonna go all out.
Shioriko
S-Spoil me, you say?
Player
Brace yourself, Shioriko. Ayumu's not gonna let you feed yourself.
Shioriko
What?
Ayumu
I'm gonna hand-feed you so you get better real quick, Shioriko!
Shioriko
Huh?! What?!
