Perfect Timing
Xue: Thank you for waiting, here's your fried rice set meal.
Xue: Those who eat must pay later, okay?
Hikari: Yay! I'm so hungry even after the morning practice!
Hikari: Let's dig in!
Lilja: nom nom... Mmm, as always, Xue's cooking is excellent.
Hikari: Mmm, so delicious!
Hikari: Making this on the spot, Xue really is a genius fried rice chef!
Ramona: Mhm, I can't believe this was made from leftovers.
Ramona: Truly divine, a genius fried rice chef indeed.
Koyomi: It's good to run a lunch service using your cooking skills, but won't the chef get mad if you use the contents of the cafeteria fridge without
permission?
Xue: I'm just making good use of ingredients that would otherwise go to waste..
Xue: Environmentally friendly. That's the trendy thing called SDGs*.
Ramona: Koyomi, take a bite. It's delicious.
Koyomi: Are you trying to drag me in?
Koyomi: ...Well, if you're going to say that much, I will, just one bite.
Koyomi: ...! D-delicious...! Indeed...
Ramona: Once you taste it, you won't be able to say anything, right?
Xue: Koyomi, want to try some too?
Xue: There's a spare serving for 500 yen.
Koyomi: Gh...
Xue: As always. Hehehe. Preparedness leads to earnings.
Lilja: Koyomi's now an accomplice.
Hikari: Phew, thank you for the meal.
Koyomi: ...Thank you for the meal.
Ramona: I'm glad, Koyomi.
Ramona: You, who were once as difficult to catch as Princess Kaguya, now join us for meals like this.
Ramona: Let's go out more often and even plan a trip someday.
Ramona: As comrades who made "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" a success, let's deepen our bonds further.
Koyomi: Please don't include me in your social circle every time.
Koyomi: If you're going out, it's enough with everyone else.
Ramona: Hmm, there's a summer festival in Ueno next time, so I thought we could all go.
Ramona: To polish our skills, we must actively engage with Japanese culture.
Ramona: I'm sure there were flyers around here somewhere, look.
Hikari: A summer festival!?
Hikari: Just hearing that makes me want to go! I want to go, go!
Lilja: Me too. If I wear a yukata, maybe I'll attract even more attention with my beauty.
Xue: I’ll Pass.
Xue: Unfortunately, I'll be swamped with part-time work during the summer break.
Koyomi: This flyer...
Koyomi: For you, Ramona-san, this timing seems exceptional.
Koyomi: Xue-san, please decline that part-time job.
Xue: Huh!?
Koyomi: Let's all go to the summer festival together.
Koyomi: But there are conditions.
Koyomi: Actually, I've been asked to do a job by the local government.
Ramona: A job?
Koyomi: They want me to shoot the actors at the Gingaza enjoying the summer festival.
Koyomi: They want to use it for future promotional purposes for tourism.
Koyomi: They seem to be fond of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" and if possible, they want to request the same cast to appear in the video.
Xue: Wait a sec, the summer break is prime time for earning.
Xue: Even if it's you, Koyomi-san, you don't have the right to stop my work.
Koyomi: I said it's a job, didn't I?
Koyomi: Of course, there will be compensation.
Koyomi: It's a much better daily wage than a part-time job, but won't you participate?
Xue: What!?
Xue: ...I'll arrange something with my workplace.
Xue: ...Alright, how much is the compensation!?
Koyomi: It depends on your work.
Koyomi: Since Xue-san is experienced in part-time work, are you familiar with stalls?
Koyomi: Please take the lead in filming the video, Xue-san.
Xue: What did you say...?
Koyomi: The fried rice was delicious. I won't tell the chef about it.
Xue: Ugh...
Hikari: Yay! Ramo-san, you did it!
Hikari: We can go to the summer festival!
Ramona: Yes! Let's create the best memories together!
