Operation Reinvigorate Rin: Part Two is a go! We'll be boosting her mood with some food today!

I looked up lots of great restaurants on the internet. There has to be a place Rin will like.

I'm here, everyone! Sorry I'm late.

Rin! Don't worry. You're right on time. We just got here early. Let's go out there and eat to our hearts' content!

[Fade in/out.]

Let's start here. The pasta here is supposed to be amazing. It's got high ratings on all the foodie websites too.

Oh? Well, if it isn't Rina. I see Honoka, Rin, and Ayumu are with you as well.

Dia, Kanan! Why are you two here?

We came here to buy some limited-edition school idol merch for Ruby. Right, Dia?

Wha…! O-Only subsequently! We had some sudden business to attend to in Tokyo, and I just happened to recall Ruby mentioning she wanted this kind of merchandise before…

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, since we finished up with our shopping, we decided to stop here for a quick bite.

You don't say. Of all the people to run into today, I never would've expected you two! This is awesome!

I'm pleasantly surprised as well. If you would like, we could all eat together.

You mean it? We'd love to!

[Fade in/out.]

Wow, that pasta really was good! Can I be our guide to our next spot?

You all have plans after this, then?

Yup! We're gonna spend the whole day on a gourmet tour. Oh, I know! If you two are free, you wanna join us?

Kayo-chin always says that meals taste better when you eat them with friends too!

That sounds like something she'd say. Sure, we'd be happy to join. Right, Dia?

Certainly. If it is of no bother to you all, we would love to.

Yay!

There it is! It's that restaurant over there. Karin was telling me all about it, and…

Ramen, huh? It's gotta be pretty great if Karin's recommending it. I never took her for much of a ramen person, though.

N-No! I wasn't talking about the ramen shop! I meant the place next to it. They have really delicious waffles, and… Oh geez, I'm so sorry!

Wh-What's the matter? What's gotten into you?

Ramen…

Waaah! Rin!

[Fade in/out.]

Her favorite restaurant closed and now her “ramen battery” is running low… I see. Now I understand the situation.

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm putting you guys through so much, all 'cause I just can't break out of this funk.

Hmm… Well, if you ask me, you should probably figure out why the restaurant is closing. Not knowing is what's got you too anxious to eat ramen now, right?

Yeah, but the flyer didn't say why they were closing. It didn't even say when they would reopen.

Um, about that… I think I know a way to find out.

About why they closed? Really?!

I just remembered. That restaurant is on social media. If we contact them about it, they might give us some answers.

They could tell us why they're closed, and if the employees are okay! Yeah, I wanna try asking!
