Emma #315: Are Switzerland and Japan Similar?
Emma
Did I buy a few too many things?
Player
Everything at that bakery is super tasty. It's easy to go overboard.
Emma
Yep, it makes choosing really hard. I could've spent another hour mulling it over.
Player
What? Really?
Emma
Really! Well, I would if I'd been alone, but I'm not going to be rude by making you wait. So I just grabbed everything that caught my eye.
Option 1: “I don't mind waiting for you.” |
---|
Player I don't mind waiting for you. Emma No, it's fine. I want us to visit a lot of other places besides just the bakery. |
Option 2: “Can you eat all of that bread?” |
Player Can you eat all of that bread? Emma I sure can. I can eat bread endlessly. |
Player
But that really was an amazing bakery. It smelled so good I couldn't stop myself from going in.
Emma
Yeah, it smelled like baked sweet potatoes even though it was a bakery. It draws you in, and before you know it, you're through the door.
Player
Ah, that reminds me, they had baked sweet potato bread. It looked really good.
Emma
And of course, I made sure to buy some!
Player
No bread escapes your eye.
Emma
The sweet potatoes we had before were so good that I got a craving for them again.
Player
Baked sweet potatoes are amazing this time of year.
Emma
You're right! But because they're so good, you can't stop yourself from eating too many.
Player
Fall is for feasting, so there's no shortage of tasty food.
Emma
That's right! And when it comes to fall, you can't forget about chestnuts.
Player
Emma, do you like chestnuts too?
Emma
Yep, I love them! I used to go chestnut picking in the forest with my younger siblings in Switzerland.
Player
Oh really? How do you usually eat them in Switzerland?
Emma
Let me think… Usually we roast them. There were always a bunch of stands that you can get them piping hot from.
Player
We eat sweet chestnuts that way here in Japan.
Emma
Now that you mention it, that does sound similar. Ah, now that we're talking about chestnuts, I could really go for some.
Emma
Same. Do you want to go buy a chestnut cake?
Player
Sure, but…is it really all right after you bought all this bread?
Emma
Oh yeah, that's right.
Emma
Then we should share the chestnut cake. C'mon, let's enjoy it together.
Player
Ahaha, doesn't sound like I can say no. I can't turn down a request from you anyway.
Emma
Hooray! I'll take you to the cake shop Ai recommended to me before!
