    n "Not about that. About the whole restaurant thing."
    n "It’s not really {i}near{/i} here, but my family actually owns and operates a Chinese restaurant that does decently well, if I’m remembering correctly."
    n "So we both come from families who work in food service and stuff."

    t "For all I know, she poisoned these ingredients to put my family’s restaurant out of business. "
    t "I know your games, Pink Psion of...Pinkness! "

    scene norikotsuneyocon24

    t "Excellent. This is all I needed to hear."
    t "Any restaurant who takes the time to create such a thing can not be called a rival of mine."

    s "Noriko is right. I don’t think my facial muscles work that way."
    s "Also, if I knew this journey was going to be for the purpose of buying you weapons, I would not have come. "
    t "Anything is a weapon if you try hard enough."
    n "Tsuneyo’s right. If the world were to end tomorrow and zombies started popping up or something, you’d use anything you can get your hands on as a weapon."
    s "Even a leek?"
    n "Hey, it’s working for her."
    n "Also, what if leeks {i}are{/i} the weakness of zombies and just...nobody’s figured it out yet because no one in their right mind would use one?"

    "The three of us move through the streets on the way back to Tojo Ramen and, despite the great amount of glares we received on the way {i}to{/i} the convenience store, nothing happens on the way back."
    "And I doubt it’s because Noriko makes us somehow look {i}less{/i} suspicious, so I just chalk it up to it being past all of the old, homeless peoples’ bedtimes or something."
    "Either way, we make it back to the ramen shop, leeks in tow, and prepare to head inside."

    n "Can we at least get like...a drink of water or something?"
