Synopsis

The place Hachiware brings Chiikawa to is a ramen shop known for its massive bowls and generous toppings. Faced with the signboard and the atmosphere inside, Chiikawa braces themselves, while Hachiware tries to reassure them by explaining the procedures they should know before entering.

While waiting inside the shop, Chiikawa tries to memorize the shop's unique rules, such as the meal ticket system and how to respond when spoken to by a staff member. The two go over how to reply to the question 'Would you like garlic?' again and again. Hachiware suggests practicing the answer in their head, but when actually spoken to, Chiikawa's words get stuck, and Hachiware watches over them from the side without rushing them.

When spoken to by a staff member at the counter, Chiikawa cannot finish saying their order. So Hachiware speaks up loudly on their behalf, asking for Chiikawa's portion to have garlic and extra seasoning too. Chiikawa's eyes well with tears, and before long, identical oversized bowls are placed in front of the two.
