CHIKA: "Oh, I almost forgot. I brought a little something-something for the cooking!"
HONOKA: "Hey, are those mikans?"
AKI: "Uh oh..."
CHIKA: "They're Numazu's speciality, and I wanted everyone to have a mikan dish."
KOTORI: "Like a mikan dessert?"
Chika made eat so many when I was staying at her inn, I kinda get what happened with Yoshiko...
AYUMU: "Frozen mikans are delicious! Remember how we used to buy a bunch and freeze them, Aki?"
AKI: "Yeah."
YOU: "So that's where the nibble mikan idea came from!"
AKI: "Surprise?"
CHIKA: "Frozen mikan are pretty tasty, but mikan hotpot is to die for!"
KOTORI: "Mikan hotpot? I can't imagine how that would taste."
AKI: "Citrusy?"
HONOKA: "Is that seriously any good?"
CHIKA: "It certainly is! Right, You?"
YOU: "Yeah, it's delicious. Then there's mikan soup, mikan hotpot udon, mikan salt ramen."
AYUMU: "Mikan ramen?"
CHIKA: "Ahh, you're all skeptical, aren't you? It's fantastic, okay. Everyone loved it the last time I made it."
AKI: "Mikans are also great at rolling downhill into traffic."
CHIKA: "Wah! P-Please don't remind me..."
AKI: *Laugh* "It's okay! We ate mikan ramen at the sleepover we had. It was pretty good."
YOU: "Yeah, some people even wanted seconds."
HONOKA: "Well, if you talk it up that much I'm kind of curious."
CHIKA: "One slurp, Honoka, and you're begging for more!"
KOTORI: "I kind of want to try some after hearing all that."
YOU: "Don't just have some, have a lot!"
KOTORI: "W-Well, I'll believe in you, then."
YOU: "That's the spirit. Those who believe will be saved."
She makes it sound like mikan is some kind of religion or something...
CHIKA: "So, while I'll make that dish, I also want to try a new one, too."
AYUMU: "You're getting really into this, huh Chika?"
CHIKA: "I can't fall behind you, Ayumu!"
That's a high bar to climb, I can never keep up with her work rate.
HONOKA: "Then what kind of new dish are you thinking up?"
CHIKA: "How about juice that's a mix of mikans and mikans? I just know it'll be delightful!"
So, mikan juice.
KOTORI: "Yeah, that sounds great."
YOU: "Wait... That's just mikan juice!"
CHIKA: "W-Wait, you're right!"
For real...?
AYUMU: "Ahaha! Oh, Chika!"
I'm happy to see that Ayu is having a a great time with everyone. Looks like she's making a lot of new friends!
CHIKA: "Well, I'll create something that'll make everyone groan in surprise!"
KOTORI: "Groan, huh?"
AKI: "It's...probably best not to think into it, Kotori."
