Hello, Chika!

Hi! Welcome!

Huh? That outfit of yours…

Sorry! I actually got a sudden request to help out at the ryokan inn. I know we had plans to go out together, so I'm really sorry!

I see. Hmm, that's a shame to hear, but I know how important your ryokan inn job is, so don't worry about it.

Oh, but I was told that I could leave before noon, so I'm free to go out after then if you want!

Really? Noon, huh? Not long left, then. Do you mind if I wait?

Not at all! Do you know where the hearth is? Wait for me over there. I'll finish up with work and head over in a flash!

You don't have to rush. Make sure you do your work properly, okay?

Welcome to our establishment. Allow me to take your bags.

I will show you to your room. This way, please.

Please fill in your name, address, and phone number here.

Wow…

[Fade in/out.]

Th-Thanks for waiting!

You really worked hard today, Chika.

Aww, I said I'd be done before noon, but it's past noon now! I'm sorry.

Don't beat yourself up over it. I was reading the travel guide that was set out, so I wasn't really bored or anything.

And I had a blast watching you in ryokan-inn-staff mode. You really looked the part. Guess that's what you'd expect when you grow up in a place like this.

R-Really? *Giggle* Glad to hear that. Both Mito and Shima expect me to help out, so I don't really get a lot of praise.

Having you praise me makes it worth the effort I put into helping out!

I'm glad. All right then, shall we head out?

Yeah! I haven't had a chance to eat lunch yet since I've been helping out this whole time. Let's go out somewhere to eat.
