Thank you for waiting. Here is your chocolate parfait, and your anmitsu fruit and mochi bowl.

Whoa!

Your chocolate parfait looks really delicious, Nico.

Says you with your anmitsu fruit bowl. That's a pretty refined choice.

The fall moon festival is almost upon us, so I figured I'd pick something to respect the season.

Shall we dig in, then?

Indeed! *Homph*

Mm-mm! It just melts in my mouth! The hint of berries in the chocolate mousse is perfect!

The anmitsu fruit bowl is a pretty worthy competitor as well! Fruit and mochi balls are a match made in heaven.

Oh yeah? You think so?

*Chomp* Yeah, that goes down real nice. The anmitsu bowl isn't bad either.

Hey, that's my mochi ball! You're so mean, Nico!

I know. I did that on purpose.

On purpose?

What does gazing at the moon remind you of?

That's right. The moon thief. While you're gazing up at the moon during the fall moon festival, it's a given that the moon thief will appear to steal your treats.

That's why I stole one of your mochi balls. I was just helping out with your quest to respect the season!

Argh! That's a lame excuse! I bet you just wanted to eat one yourself!

I guess that was part of it.

Not fair, Nico. Ever since I was a kid, my mom raised me not to do things like that.

But you did that without even batting an eyelid! I want to do that someday. That's something that has always been in the back of my mind my whole life!

Aren't you exaggerating?

But this is a golden opportunity. On this day, I will take on the role of the moon thief!

Hey, my parfait!

*Homph* Mm-mm! The perfect parfait! The aroma of the chocolate is just to die for! I was having a hard time deciding between this or my anmitsu bowl.

Really?! You were too?

Does that mean you had the same dilemma?

Yeah. If that was the case…

…We should've just shared our desserts to begin with.
