Oh hey, transfer student. This seat? No, it's not taken. I'm eating by myself today, so you're more than welcome to sit here if you want.
Chiaki
Hmm. Huh? You're worried about my health condition?
Chiaki
Thanks, transfer student! But no need to worry, I'm feeling fine. In fact, I'm in tiptop condition!
Chiaki
Well, that is, if it weren't for this. Otherwise, I'd be in the best shape ever!
Chiaki
Uhh. I guess having an arch-nemesis is all part of being a hero....!
Chiaki
It seems like you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, transfer student.
Chiaki
Well, I don't mind telling you about it, but before I do, I want you to promise me something.
Chiaki
I want you to promise that you won't tell a soul of what I'm about to tell you. Of course, I don't think you're the type to go gossiping around.
Chiaki
But just in case...I need to make sure!
Chiaki
Alrighty, so you vow that will never ever tell a soul about this!
Chiaki
Good, good! That's a good transfer student. *Ruffle*
Chiaki
Oh whoops, I messed up your hair a bit.
Chiaki
Here, let me fix that for you....There we go, transfer student is a girl after all.
Chiaki
You just have so much in common with Akehoshi, sometimes I see you as more of a guy than a girl.
Chiaki
Ha ha ha. My bad, transfer student,!
Chiaki
It's so much fun chatting away with you, but time is money! I should get to name of the game!
Chiaki
....The thing is, I hate eggplants. No matter what I do, I can't bring myself to eat them.
Chiaki
I hate them so much, even from just the way they look! I'm absolutely disgusted by their slippery shape....!
Chiaki
Oops! This is supposed to be a secret, but I got so worked up that I started speaking loudly.
Chiaki
Anyway, if it's just looks, fine...but no, even if I close my eyes, there's no way I could fool the taste.
Chiaki
But...I'm a man! I can't just say I can't handle it all the time and shrink from eggplants for the rest of my life!
And that's why I made up my mind and decided to order a Mapo-Eggplant set meal to conquer this hatred....but now I regret it more than ever.
※Mapo-eggplant: Spicy, stir-fried pork with ginger and garlic with silky broiled eggplant
Chiaki
What's more is that after ordering and regretting, I realized I'm a pickle this month cuz I'm short on money! I can't afford to order a different meal!
Chiaki
And that's my predicament. There's nothing left for me to do but wolf down this Mapo-eggplant set meal, right?
Chiaki
Go head, chew me out on my defeat. I'm a failure of a hero....Can't even face my arch-nemsis head-on when he's right in front of me.....
Chiaki
What? You'll trade meals with me, you say, transfer student?!
Chiaki
Thanks....No seriously, thanks a lot! I will never forget this favor for as long as I live, transfer student....!
