Whew! Today's practice is finally over. I'm exhausted.

On top of our usual practice schedule, we have to prep for the School Idol Festival and the other events we're committed to. Things have really gotten busy.

Work hard, eat hard! Kayo-chin, Maki, let's go out for ramen! I found a coupon in the newspaper today!

10 yen off a plate of potstickers? *Gasp* 50 yen off a bowl of rice! I'm in!

You're as fanatical about rice as ever, Hanayo.

Anyway, we just went for ramen the other day. Don't you ever get the urge to try someplace new?

We're talking about a different ramen place.

That's not what I meant. I'm just worried what others will think of you if you're constantly gorging on ramen, Rin.

Worried?

It's not like she eats ramen at every meal.

Really? Even at the diner we have our meetings at, she orders ramen every time.

We may know better because we spend more time together, but the Aqours and Nijigasaki girls must think ramen is all she eats.

Maki, maybe you're overthinking this a little?

Hmm, but I do like ramen, so I don't really mind if that's what people think.

It's not like I'm doing something bad. I think being able to eat my favorite food whenever I want is a wonderful thing!

And it makes me even happier when everyone from μ's joins me. So I don't care what anyone else thinks!

Rin…

You're right. If it makes you happy, it's not my place to tell you to stop.

Exactly. But thanks for thinking about me anyway, Maki.

Whatever. So, are we going out or what? Ramen, right?

Right!

Now that you mentioned them, I wanna get ramen with the Aqours and Nijigasaki girls, too. I should invite them next time!
