What did they need at the restaurant again? We already have the wood ear mushrooms and dried shiitake mushrooms in the cart…

Oh, that's right, bread flour and wheat flour! I bet that's to make the ramen noodles and the wrappers for the potstickers.

These are important ingredients. We'll use them to save the restaurant and get Rin to smile again. We can't forget to buy any of them.

[Fade in/out.]

Let's see, where's the flour aisle? Ah, here it is. Whoa!

Whoops! O-Oh, you startled me, Rina. Sorry I almost ran into you.

No, it's okay. I wasn't watching either.

Hey, what's that you're holding, huh?

This? Ahaha. Well, as you can see, it's chocolate!

Dia just told you to put the junk food back.

But these are smaller than like, a bag of chips, so she's not gonna notice! If I just sneak them under the Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts like this…

She'll notice when we ring it up at the cash register. I don't think we should buy anything we weren't told to get.

Rina, I'm not buying this candy for me. This is a purchase for everyone, and for the sake of the restaurant.

The sake of the restaurant?

That's right. After we get back, we're gonna practice cooking at the Chinese restaurant, right? I bet it's gonna be seriously hard work since we gotta perfect our cooking.

Imagine… We're shaking a massive wok in front of a flaming hot stove, and no matter how hard we try, we can't get the taste right. Everyone starts getting tense…

Yeah… I can see that.

And that's when the snacks come in to brighten the mood! Whenever someone starts feeling cranky, they can take a bite and feel better!

Y-You're right. You aren't as careful when you're grumpy, and if everyone gets that way, we won't ever get anywhere. We wouldn't be able to help anyone.

Exactly! Snacking is a vital part of our plan to save Rin and the restaurant. So with that, I'll go put these chocolates in the cart!

No, I still don't think it's okay!

Oh, come on!

If Dia finds out about the chocolates, she's going to scold you, and then you'll get sad. I don't want you to be cooking while sad. I won't let that happen.

For the sake of Rin, the restaurant, AND you, I'm not letting you put those chocolates in the cart! Rina-chan Board says, “Serious!”

Nooo! Please! These chocolates are my fav! And it's a brand new flavor! I had no idea this even existed!

I'm sorry, Honoka! I promise we'll get chocolates together once we're done helping at the restaurant!
