Dia #281: Dia's Recommendation

Dia

You want to look at a Japanese-style building? Why is that?

Player

We're putting together a Japanese-style stage set for our next live show, so I'm researching a few places. There happens to be somewhere I wanna go near here. Do you know it?

Dia

Ah. I have actually been here before.

Dia

It was quite a wonderful place. It's an old Japanese-style house that has been converted into a café and is overflowing with the air of its rich history.

Dia

The garden there was also exquisite. There is nothing quite like sipping on a cup of tea whilst gazing upon the flowers blooming, with different blooms for each season.

Option 1: “Could you come with me?”

Player

Dia, could you come along with me?

Dia

That was the whole reason you approached me, was it not? *Giggle* Of course I will join you.

Option 2: “That sounds promising!”

Player

That sounds pretty promising!

Dia

I could show you around if you like. There's a cellar on the grounds that can be a little hard to find for first-time visitors.

Player

Thanks, Dia! It's comforting to know that you're coming along with me!

Dia

*Giggle* I will do some prior research as well so that I am a competent guide for you.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

…

Dia

You have been quiet for a while now, is something the matter?

Player

W-W-Well, I mean… Dia! Your outfit!

Dia

I put this on to build on the more traditional atmosphere. Have I gone a little too far?

Player

Not at all! It really suits you! I love how you look in a kimono! You blend in perfectly with the atmosphere of the café. This whole scene looks like a painting from afar!

Dia

*Giggle* I did not expect you to be that thrilled about this. Shall we go ahead and order something?

Player

Sure! What do you recommend from here?

Dia

What do I recommend? Everything here is absolutely scrumptious, so it is quite difficult to decide.

Player

Mmm! The skewered dumpling trio set you chose for me is really tasty! I especially like this green dumpling covered in red bean paste!

Dia

Indeed it is. I simply adore the skewered dumplings served here!

Dia

Perhaps I should have ordered the dumplings as well. This matcha parfait is also quite delicious, though.

Player

Do you want one of mine then, Dia?

Dia

What?

Dia

O-Oh, um, I would never ask to take one of yours. I will order my own later.

Player

Come on, don't be shy. Here you go, Dia! Open up wide.

Dia

N-Now that would be utterly—

Dia

U-Uhh, v-very well then.

Dia

A-Ahhh… *Chew* *Chew*. Mmm! Yes, it really is divine. H-However… I am embarrassed beyond words.

Dia

The strange thing is that this tastes more delicious than usual. I would have to assume that you are the reason why.
