Moka
Hm~mm...
(I ordered it. A 70 degrees sugar sweet potato...)
(I wonder if I could make an open fire here and roast it...)
(After finally being able to buy it in a mad rush on the net, I have to go all-out!)
(Plus it's cold outside, so a fire would keep me warm...!)
(It is a public park, but even so... It can't hurt to ask...!)
Um, excuse me!

Caretaker
Yes, yes. What can I do for ya?

Moka
I was wondering about making a fire here...

Caretaker
Ahh...sorry, miss. Fires are prohibited here.

Moka
Uu, o-of course they have to be... I understand...

---

Moka
Haa...
(I've walked every which way, but there's nowhere to make a fire...)
(I thought I would finally be able to enjoy a yummy baked sweet potato...)
(But I should have done proper research beforehand...)

[*Whooosh...*]

Moka
Auuu...freezing cold... Maybe I'll just call it quits and go home today...
.....
...Oh? Where...is this place...?
(I wandered all around so much I ended up in some unfamiliar place!?)
F-first thing's first: check my location on my smartphone...
AHH-!? Out of batteries!?
W-what do I do...

Ranka
Huh... Isn't that...
...You're Megumi Moka, right?

Moka
You are...Ranka-chan!?

Ranka
What're you doing standing around here for?

Moka
Umm...I was walking around the park and such, then I lost my way...

Ranka
Hah? You're literally next to the school.

Moka
I am!? I didn't notice that at all...

Ranka
It's a back alley not a whole lot of people use, at least.

Moka
How embarrassing of me... I do this all the time...
Thank you for showing me. I'll be off...

Ranka
Wait a sec.

Moka
Eh-...?

Ranka
...You seem a little slow, so I'll walk you to a path you know.

---

Ranka
By the way, aren't you a little too sulky for walkin' around a park and stuff?

Moka
Actually... I was thinking of making a roasted sweet potato.

Ranka
Roasted sweet potato...?

Moka
But everywhere I go, open fires are prohibited...
Even though I got such a yummy potato ready to go...

Ranka
.....

Moka
What is it?

Ranka
So like... This is a crazy freaking coincidence,
but at the game center today, I got THIS...

Moka
Ah-...! A "Baked Sweet Potato Maker"!

Ranka
I was goin' after a different prize, but this thing dropped instead.
I don't need it, so you have it.

Moka
Eh-...I couldn't; how terrible!
Receiving a gift on top of being saved...

Ranka
I don't care about that! I was having trouble just lugging it around.

Moka
But...hmm...
...That's it!

---

[*Ding!*]

Moka
Here, Ranka-chan, your portion is baked and ready to go!

Ranka
...I told you it's fine.

Moka
This is a token of my gratitude, so I would happy for you to accept it.
And it's made with the baked sweet potato maker you gave me,
so I'm sure the potato wants to be eaten by you too!

Ranka
What a gross-ass way to put that!
But...if you insist, guess there's no fussing...

Moka
Yeah, thank you!
Okay, thanks for the meaaal!

[*Chomp...!*]

Moka
S...so yummy~!

Ranka
.....
(N...nice~...!)
(This is the first time I've ever had such a super-sweet sweet potato...!)

Moka
Ranka-chan, how is it?

Ranka
Ah-...umm... ...It ain't bad...?

Moka
Huhu, I'm glad you seem to like it...!
When I get more yummy sweet potatoes, we'll eat them together again, okay!

Ranka
(This level of roasted sweet potato...!?)
...W-well, I GUESS I wouldn't mind joining you...?

Moka
Hurray!
