Hm-hm-hm-hmm~♪

Nonoka

Hey, there's Ricchan.

Ritsu

Thank you, as always.

No, I'm the one who should be thanking you.

Come by again anytime!

Ritsu

I will. Goodbye.

Nonoka

Ricchaaaaaan!!

Ritsu

Nono-chan. What a coincidence.

Nonoka

Was that your friend?

Ritsu

Oh... No. He's the owner of my go-to ramen shop.

Nonoka

A go-to place...!

Ritsu

I eat there fairly often, and sometimes I order delivery for lunch too.

Ritsu

I guess he started recognizing me at some point. He just gave me a discount coupon for being a regular.

Nonoka

A regular...!!

Nonoka

Ricchan, that's amazing! It sounds so grown-up!

Ritsu

Does it...?

Nonoka

Yeah, so cool~! Nono-chan has never had a "go-to place" or been "a regular" before!

Ritsu

Then would you like to go together sometime?

Nonoka

Really?! Can I?!

Ritsu

Of course. I'd really like you to try it too, Nono-chan.

Nonoka

Yay~! Count me in, count me in~!

Nonoka

Going with a regular makes it even more exciting!

Ritsu

You're making too much of it.

Nonoka

But you know the place really well, right? I wanna hear your recommendations!

Ritsu

My recommendations...?

Ritsu

Their specialty is a light soy sauce ramen with a crystal-clear broth. The broth looks beautiful and smells amazing.

Ritsu

I heard the owner personally adjusted the noodle recipe to pair perfectly with the broth. So I'd normally recommend starting with the soy sauce ramen, but...

Ritsu

Personally, the salt ramen is my favorite. It's light, but what makes it special is its depth of flavor.

Ritsu

Hmm... Which one should I have you start with...? Then again, their tanmen is popular too...

Nonoka

Whoa... Ricchan, you're on a roll!

Ritsu

Oh, I'm sorry.

Nonoka

No, keep going! I wanna hear more!

Nonoka

I could hear how much Ricchan loves it in every word!

Ritsu

Hehe... Enough that once I start, I can't seem to stop.

Nonoka

Then I'll start with your favorite, the salt ramen...

Ritsu

Wait.

Ritsu

On second thought, the soy sauce ramen might be the best way to appreciate the owner's craft.

Ritsu

Actually, knowing you, Nono-chan, you could probably manage both the soy sauce and salt ramen.

Nonoka

The have-it-all course!

Ritsu

And meat gyoza on the side. They're stuffed to bursting, and I highly recommend those too.

Nonoka

The have-it-all course just evolved into a full-on feast!

Nonoka

Hehe... This is gonna be so much fun~♪

Ritsu

Yes...!
