Utsuki Chikage / "There's no romance" (3)
Izumi: Shall we head home soon?
Chikage: ... Sorry for making you worry about me.
Izumi: You don't have to apologize. To begin with, you did say that you weren't interested in the bridal fair.
Chikage: Well, I guess...
Izumi: ?
Chikage: I definitely can't picture myself getting married, and I'm not interested in it at all, but--.
Chikage: Seeing that family back there made me think that maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
Izumi: Huh...
Chikage: The bride, the groom, and their families were all laughing so happily.
Chikage: If you can see the people most important to you look like that, then there might be meaning in getting married--maybe.
Izumi: But that's... That wouldn't be for your own sake...
Chikage: There's a reason for me to do it, and even for marrying someone, it doesn't 100% have to be for your own sake, right.
Chikage: For all the people out there in the world who marry their partners, I don't think they necessarily marry thinking it's just "for their own sake."
Izumi: Well, that might be true, but... But that just feels sad.
Chikage: Well, right now, that's the kind of thing that marriage is to me.
Chikage: In the end, it's up to an individual's values. After all, my own happiness is not as important to me as my family's happiness.
Izumi: (That's just like Chikage-san...)
Chikage: --Well, have you decided what you want in exchange for today? If you want to eat at a curry place, then we can stop by on our way home.
Izumi: Hmm...
Izumi: ... Actually, I want to buy some things at the supermarket.
Chikage: Huh?
Izumi: Let's make curry together and eat it with everyone. That can be your way of thanking me for today.
Chikage: That's just regular old dinner.
Izumi: More than a delicious curry shop or a special spice, and even more than an expensive accessory--.
Izumi: For the me of right now, this is most important. This is part of my own values!
Chikage: --.
Chikage: Director-san, you're really a weirdo.
Choice 1: "I enjoy making curry with you"
Izumi: I enjoy making curry with you, Chikage-san.
Chikage: Then, to make today's dinner special, let's put in the specialty extremely spicy spice I blended together...
Izumi: Huh!? If you do that, it's going to be too spicy, and no one's going to be able to eat it!
Chikage: Just kidding. Let's use the spice I restocked a little while ago. Director-san, you really liked that one, didn't you?
Izumi: You remembered?
Chikage: Of course. I always make sure to remember the things that you liked.
Chikage: When you announce that tonight is going to be curry, too, I'm sure everyone will be disappointed. But, just like usual, I'm sure that in the end everyone will be storming in for seconds.
Izumi: Haha, that's right!
Choice 2: "Chikage-san, you're weird, too"
Izumi: Chikage-san, you're weird, too.
Chikage: Well, I can't deny that.
Chikage: As people who are like oddities... We might suit each other pretty well, huh?
Izumi: Wha...
Chikage: As a weird pair, let's show off our cooking skills for tonight's dinner.
Chikage: When you announce that tonight is going to be curry, too, I'm sure everyone will be disappointed. But, just like usual, I'm sure that in the end everyone will be storming in for seconds.
Izumi: Haha, that's right!
*End of both path choices*
Itaru: --Huh? Senpai, do you have something you need from this department?
Chikage: Yeah, I forgot to tell you, but actually--.
Itaru: ... You went to a bridal fair with Director-san?
Chikage: I was invited by your boss. Should I have told you about it?
Itaru: (To think that Senpai was the one who was forced to go... Somehow, I have a really bad feeling about this...)
Togawa: Oh, Chigasaki-kun and Utsuki-kun. Good morning.
Itaru: Good morning.
Chikage: Good morning.
Togawa: Utsuki-kun, how was the bridal fair that you went to the other day? If it's alright, I'd be happy if you could show me even just a picture.
Chikage: Of course, here you go. It's something that I took with my girlfriend, so I feel bad, but...
Togawa: No, no, it's fine.
Itaru: (Hm? Now that I think about, didn't Boss say that he saw a picture of me and Director-san...)
Itaru: Um, please wait a sec--.
Togawa: ... Hm?
Chikage: ?
Togawa: This girl, she's...
Itaru: (Game over...)
Togawa: No! It's nothing. You two... have quite the complicated relationship.
Togawa: Thank you for showing me this picture. I'll be going now.
Itaru: Sigh- are you for real...
Chikage: What?
Itaru: Another setting has been added to the list, and our relationship has just gotten a lot more complicated, I think...
Chikage: ... I think I get the gist of it.
Itaru: We should make a relationship diagram soon.
Chikage: Yeah.
Chikage: ... Sorry for making you worry about me.
