>"Uhh, a restaurant? Try that one, I'm going over there to meet a friend, in fact."

>"Uhh, a restaurant? Try that one, I'm going over there to meet a friend, in fact."
>Point out Mystia's restaurant down the street.

>You feel pretty fortunate that there are a lot of restaurants in the area and that they were already talking about food.
>"Oh? I do believe that's the one owned by Miss Lorelei's parents. I have been meaning to visit at some point..."
>"But Ran, my snacks..."
>"You've had enough of those. Honestly..."
>Yukari turns towards you with a sigh.
>"Is Ran this stubborn at school as well? She really would be so much cuter if she wasn't so strict."
>Ran clears her throat loudly.
>"Let's visit that restaurant that Miss Kamishirasawa recommended to us. Thank you for the recommendation, by the way, Tokiko."
>Ran begins walking towards the restaurant, dragging a complaining Yukari along by the hand.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Scan relative people of interests in the restaurant
>Evil laugh

>Outside of Mystia and the Yakumos, who you have already scanned, there doesn't seem to be anyone of particular interest to you in the restaurant.
>You laugh maniacally, which causes the other patrons of the restaurant to look and point in your direction while whispering.

>"Sorry Myschi, but the yakitori just looks so delicious today!"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Sorry Myschi, but the yakitori just looks so delicious today!"

>"Doesn't it? Though, we have another type of bird on the menu just for you..."

>Observe antics of the Yakumo to pass time.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Observe antics of the Yakumo to pass time.

>You watch the Yakumos, but they appear to have settled after having made their order and are simply chatting to each other while they wait for their food. Perhaps you should decide on what you want to order too?

>_

[Tapsa]

>Perhaps, but without the presence of an individual employed by this food and drink establishment who is tasked with the duty of collecting orders from customers within the premises of this building and relaying them to the restaurant's kitchen where the chefs will attempt to construct the requested comestibles to the best of their ability within a reasonable window of time, there is a danger that our nutritional desires will go unheard. Therefore, let us continue to exercise patience instead of spilling the confidential details of our order to no-one in particular in a truly embarrassing fashion, as there is a member of the waitstaff who has acknowledged our presence and is likely to serve us next as a result of the bias she possesses towards us due to our favorable personal relationship with her.

>You do suppose that you could always wait for a particular waitress before deciding on your order.
>You watch as Mystia finishes taking the order of the other table and relaying it to the kitchen staff before she comes over to your table with a smile.
>"Have you decided on your order, ma'am?"

>_

[PX]

>"Why of course. I think ill be having... you."
>Jump on top of Mystia
>"I'll have the bento box."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"Why of course. I think ill be having... you."
>Jump on top of Mystia
>"I'll have the bento box."

>"N-Not in public, Tokiko."
>You leap out of your seat and onto Mystia, who looks rather surprised.
>Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Yukari Yakumo grinning as she looks at the two of you while Ran appears to be walking towards you with a stern look on her face.
>You get the feeling you're about to be lectured for some time.
>"Alright, and what main would you like with that?"

>_

[Tapsa]

>Did we miss where the mains are listed?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Did we miss where the mains are listed?

>You did, apparently.

[Tapsa]

>"That'd be grilled eel."

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"That'd be grilled eel."

>"No problem, just wait one moment and I'll deliver your meal shortly."
>"Oh, and a special service for you~."
>Mystia puts down the tray she is carrying to hand you a notebook.
>"Today's notes from the class you missed. Now, I'll just be a moment."
>Mystia picks up the tray again and makes her way back towards the kitchen.

>_

[Tapsa]

>Sweet! Let's put them away for now, though.
>Wait for Myschi to get back.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Sweet! Let's put them away for now, though.
>Wait for Myschi to get back.

>You don't really want to spend your time at a restaurant copying notes.
>You put the notebook into your bag and wait for your food to arrive.
>After several minutes pass, Mystia returns carrying a tray with your food, along with a complementary soft drink.
>Mystia gives you a smile as she places the food at your table.
>"Enjoy your meal and don't hesitate to tell us if you need anything."

[Ps]

>Thank Mystia.
>Look meaningfully into her eyes and blush.
>Say "itadakimasu" and start eating.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Thank Mystia.
>Look meaningfully into her eyes and blush.
>Say "itadakimasu" and start eating.

>You thank Mystia while looking into her eyes, which causes Mystia to blush in return before moving along to service the other tables.
>You give thanks for your meal and start eating.
>While you eat, whenever there are lulls in activity, Mystia comes over to your table to chat for a few moments before being called elsewhere.
>Eventually, you finish your meal. You note that the Yakumos are still eating and chatting to each other and that you should probably pay for your meal at the counter soon.

>_

[Tapsa]

>Pay them bills!
>Where's Mystia?

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Pay them bills!
>Where's Mystia?

>You head over to the counter, where you pay 1800 yen for your meal.
>Mystia seems to be at the Yakumo's table, blushing while listening to the woman calling herself Yukari talking to her about something.

>_

[Ps]

>Approach them.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>Approach them.

>You approach Mystia and the Yakumos. As you do so, you notice a wide smile appear on Yukari's face as you watch her nudge Mystia in your direction.
>Ran has a scowl on her face, though you note that her cheeks are flushed and there do seem to be an awful number of empty glasses on their table.
>You find yourself standing in front of Mystia, who is blushing quite heavily.
>"Um... T-Tokik-... I can't say that Miss Yakumo!"
>Mystia quickly covers her face with her hands and runs off towards the kitchen, which causes Yukari to burst into laughter.
>Several of the other customers look in your direction for a moment after Mystia's outburst before returning to their own meals and conversations.

[O4rfish]

>"What's going on? What did you say to her?"

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

>"What's going on? What did you say to her?"

>Yukari continues to laugh for a few moments before composing herself.
>"Oh, nothing. I'm sure that she'll tell you herself, eventually. As a matter of fact, I do believe that I recall Ran onc-"
>Ran quickly cuts off Yukari.
>"Thank you for the recommendation, Tokiko. The food was wonderful, though we may have had too much to drink. I believe it is time for us to leave."
>"Oh, Ran. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, it was so long ago..."
>"Home."
>Yukari chuckles.
>"I don't want to upset my dear Ran any more today, so I'll have to tell you this story some other time, Tokiko."
>"Absolutely not."
>Ran begins dragging Yukari by the hand towards the counter while Yukari waves goodbye to you with a smile.
