Chikage/Shizuku birthday 2020 - 1

Work together for a wonderful celebration - 1

[Shopping district]

Chi: Wha-!? Isn't this the legendary fighting game that rarely appears even on the internet!?

Chi: This shop is only pretending to be a normal toy shop when it has quite a collection of enthusiast games...

Shi: *stare*

Chi: I want to repay the shopkeeper for their spirit, plus it's February. It shouldn't be a problem if I buy something for myself...

Shi: Koori...

Chi: Eek!

Shi: Sorry, did I startle you?

Chi: Yamabushi-san! Sorry, I was deep in thought about this game...

Shi: No, I'm sorry. What... were you doing?

Chi: I found a rare game and was wondering if I should buy it.

Chi: My birthday is this month, so I thought it'd be nice to get myself a present.

Shi: Right... It's February. Mine is soon, too.

Chi: Oh yeah, we celebrated with ramen and broiled skipjack tuna last year.

Chi: Time flies, I can't believe it's already been a year since then.

Shi: Yeah. Feels nostalgic. I've never had a birthday celebration before that, so I was really happy...

Shi: And I was really touched that you made Tokushima ramen for me when the party was for you as well.

Chi: Right, I see. It was my first time making it, but I was glad it made your happy, Yamabushi-san.

Shi: I've been thinking of a way to pay you back ever since then... And finally thought of something.

Shi: This year, I want you to be the star of the birthday party, Koori.

Chi: Yamabushi-san... I appreciate the sentiment, but...

Shi: No good?

Chi: I'm not good at being at the centre of attention. So I want the celebration to focus on you, like last year.

Shi: I had my time in the spotlight last year, so this year it has to be you, Koori...

Chi: No, Yamabushi-san, you'll be the star this year too.

Shi: No... This year it'll be you, Koori.

CHi/Shi: Mmm...
