HANAYO: "Rice balls, rice balls, nice and round!"

AKI: "Hmm... What a cute song. Those rice balls look delicious. I bet they'll give Rin lots of strength."

HANAYO: *Giggle* "I'm packing in positive vibes. I hope she feels them!"

I have to make sure she does!

HANAYO: "I've also got some great news. I can make it to the committee meeting tonight."

AKI: "That's amazing! It wouldn't be the same without you, Hanayo."

I just wish she was more open to performing solo. I probably shouldn't question her about it, today.

...

AKI: "Morning Rin!"

RIN: "You're already here? Thanks for coming today."

AKI: "I brought a special present with me. Here's a lunch me and Hanayo made together!
Hanayo wanted to at least make lunch because she couldn't make it to the meet."

RIN: "Whoa! I'm so happy! You guys cheering for me fills me with courage! I'll get a great lap time, so yell and shout for me!"

AKI: "No problem!"

Okay, I'm gonna get really into it!

...

AKI: "Rin! Great work out there!"

RIN: "Thanks! I heard you when I was running!"

AKI: "You were so fast! It was awesome."

RIN: *Chuckle* "I know, right?
Thanks to your cheering and that special lunch, I got a better time than usual."

Rin is so happy! That's great!

RIN: "Hey, get over here! I'm gonna buy you the ramen today!"

AKI: "Wh-Whoa! You're so fast!"

...

RIN: *Sigh* "Ramen after a track meet is the best!"

AKI: "This is so good! I don't think I've ever had better!"

RIN: "Nothing beats Ogikubo! This is my favorite ramen shop!"

AKI: "It must be really good if the line was that big. That blond guy over there is on his fifth bowl! His friend with the glasses looks like hes got a little more self-restraint.
But are you really sure about paying for this? I mean, we can split the bill."

RIN: "Consider it a thank you for cheering for me."

AKI: "I'm glad that you could hear me. You really were fast. It took me by surprise.
It was incredible. You ran like a track star. But up on stage, you're so cute!"

RIN: "I-I'm...cute?"

AKI: "Huh? Yeah, you're really cute."

RIN: "No... No, that's not true!"

AKI: "I know everyone thinks you're cute."

But it's just a real shame thay that she still doesn't realize that yet.

RIN: "Oh...how embarrassing! I can't even think about the taste of the ramen anymore.
But...thank you."

Oh my goodness... Rin is too cute!
