Umi #151: Undeniable Delectable Desire

Umi

*Sigh*

Player

Umi, are you okay? You've been down ever since you got back from the aqua course.

Umi

Yes, I'm fine… I am in perfect health.

Player

That's hard to believe coming from that lifeless face of yours. You must be really bummed that you missed out on the super-loaded shaved ice.

Umi

What?! H-How do you know about that?! I haven't mentioned a single word of it to you!

Option 1: “I heard from Maki.”

Player

I heard from Maki. I didn't know you liked shaved ice so much that you'd be this bummed about missing out.

Umi

Th-That's not it! It's just that I am still frustrated over losing.

Option 2: “I heard from You and Hanamaru.”

Player

You and Hanamaru sent me a photo of the shaved ice. It looked so delicious!

Umi

Yes, it really did look delicious. You don't get an opportunity to eat something like that every day. That is why I could not afford to lose the race!

Player

A race to see who could finish the aqua course first, right? I bet everyone was looking forward to winning since there was event-only super-loaded shaved ice on the line.

Umi

I took on the challenge with all my might as well, but alas… *Sob*

Player

Aww, Umi! Cheer up! If you were gonna beat yourself up over it so badly, you should have never proposed a race and just ordered the shaved ice.

Umi

Maki said the same thing to me. But… But… While I know it was special, wouldn't it have been childish to get all excited over shaved ice?

Umi

And I felt as though it would have been rude to the event organizers and Maki, who invited me, to go straight for the food instead of focusing on the aqua course.

Player

You're so serious, Umi. You put so much thought into how you carry yourself even when you're having a fun day out.

Umi

Not at all. I am the one who stubbornly suggested a race and then proceeded to hold a grudge over losing it.

Umi

Whether I got to eat the shaved ice or not, in the end, I am still a child.

Player

I think you have just the right amount of childishness in you.

Umi

Hmph. Are you teasing me?

Player

I'm not. Sometimes you act strict for the sake of others, but you seem to be even more strict and proper towards yourself.

Player

You're not going to be punished for loosening up a bit when you see something delicious or beautiful.

Umi

Do you think so?

Player

I do! I like that side of you. Your face and the air about you seem more relaxed, and you look cuter.

Umi

C-Cute?! Y-You really are teasing me, aren't you?!

Player

I'm not! These words are coming straight from my heart.

Umi

Goodness me… I feel so ridiculous about sulking and moping after talking to you.

Player

Oh? Do you feel better now?

Umi

Yes, thanks to you. Fretting over the past is a waste of time, after all. We must always think about the future.

Player

Really? Guess you don't need it anymore, then.

Umi

What don't I need?

Player

I found a place that sells delicious shaved ice. They're apparently special bowls of shaved ice that are only available during this season.

Player

I heard you missed out on eating some at the event, so I was gonna cheer you up by taking you there, but oh well…

Umi

W-Well, I've only just started to feel better, like a sick person who's barely recovered. I'm still not in the most ideal frame of mind, so…

Player

Oh, is that so? Only just started to feel better, eh? So what are you trying to say?

Umi

Nghhh… Please take me to eat the limited seasonal shaved ice!
