()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑屏2><BIN>597</BIN><BGM>Campaion-34</BGM>:After a long and busy morning, you walk on the street, completely exhausted.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<SE1>Rope</SE1>:I'm starving... +I miss the good old days when I had an adjutant who would bring me my lunch...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You lean feebly against a wall. This place called "Saga" is far more technologically backward compared to the Griffin base. There are no electric bike rentals, and even GPS navigation doesn't exist yet. +You've already gotten lost multiple times in this small city in a single morning.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:Better get something to eat first.
()||<黑屏1>:
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑屏2>:The modest signboard of the convenience store comes into view from across the street. +You arrive at the entrance and catch a glimpse of familiar figures just as you are about to enter.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:You hesitate at the door, uncertain if you should go up and say hello, when their chatter becomes audible to you.
()<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker>||:Have you seen the Commander this morning? +... +Hm... I see...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:The girls are huddled together in a hushed conversation about you, but you're still too far away to catch everything.
()<Speaker>Junko Konno</Speaker>||:Do you think the Commander will be able to help us complete the concert?
()<Speaker>Ai Mizuno</Speaker>||:We'll definitely be fine, whether or not we have the Commander's support...
()<Speaker>Saki Nikaido</Speaker>||:Humph, I'm just curious to see what this specially hired expert is made of!
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:Looks like the girls still do not completely trust your abilities, but that's only to be expected. +After all, when you first joined Griffin, it also took you a very long time to come to terms with the the fact that your work involves a lot more than simply "repelling the occasional Sangvis Ferri intruders". +It took an even longer time for you to get to know the hundreds of Dolls serving under your command.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1><BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:You let out a wistful chuckle at the thought and gaze at the seven girls whom you have only met recently...
()||<黑点1>:
NPC-Sakura(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||<BGM>BGM_Saga_AVG_Day</BGM><黑点2><BIN>380</BIN>:This is No. 1, Sakura Minamoto. +Gentle, approachable, yet can be quite sensitive.
NPC-Saki(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-190</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||:This is No. 2, Saki Nikaido. +She may look like a mean delinquent at first glance, but she strikes you as a very genuine person with a kind of bold candidness.
NPC-MizunoAi(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>60,-250</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:This is No. 3, Ai Mizuno. +Calm and collected, she can make sound judgment calls promptly in rapidly-changing situations.
NPC-Junko(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>60,-230</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:This is No. 4, Junko Konno. +Quiet and reserved, with a hint of melancholy. The type that will take some coaxing to open up.
NPC-Yugiri(4)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||:This is No. 5, Yugiri. +Probably the most mature one out of the seven. Charming, graceful, and very perceptive.
NPC-Lily(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>70,-170</Position><Scale>1.21</Scale>||:This is No. 6, Lily Hoshikawa. +She has the appearance and bearing of a cute and innocent child, but she is more wise and mature than she lets on.
NPC-Tae(0)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-340</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||:This is No. 0, Tae Yamada. +She doesn't seem capable of intelligible speech, and her actions are often unpredictable. An interesting subject for observation.
()||<黑点1>:
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑点2><BIN>597</BIN>:These seven girls of diverse characters form a group known as "Franchouchou". That's all the information you have managed to piece together so far. +Your thoughts are interrupted by more conversation drifting over from inside the shop.
()||<黑屏1>:
NPC-Yugiri(4)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||<黑点2><BIN>380</BIN>:Why don't we eat while we talk?
NPC-Lily(0)<Speaker>Lily Hoshikawa</Speaker><Position>70,-170</Position><Scale>1.21</Scale>||:Our seven bentos, plus the Commander's. I've got everything.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_Card_Reader</SE1>:Hello, that's 4,000 yen for a total of 8 bentos. Would you like them microwaved?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM><SE1>AVG_Wonder</SE1>:You notice that the smile has frozen on Lily's face as she stands in front of the cashier.
NPC-Sakura(0)<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||:What's wrong, Lily?
NPC-Yugiri(2)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||:Are we short on money?
NPC-Lily(8)<Speaker>Lily Hoshikawa</Speaker><Position>70,-170</Position><Scale>1.21</Scale>||<SE1>AVG_Awkward</SE1>:Yeah... Just by a bit.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:The awkwardness is almost palpable in the air. The girls look crestfallen. +You shift your gaze away, finding this difficult to watch even from outside the door.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||:Excuse me, would you still like these bentos?
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:...
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:So what are you going to do?<c>A. March in heroically and pay on Franchouchou's behalf.<c>B. Snicker at Franchouchou's humiliation and run off.<c>C. Grab the bentos and run with the girls.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支><BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM><黑屏2><BIN>597</BIN>:You frown a little as you size up the cashier of the convenience store who is wearing a professional smile. +He is quite lean for an adult man; you should be able to knock him down easily with your years of combat experience. +Besides, this is a parallel universe. Perhaps doing something "unusual" could break the world and propel you back to your own reality.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支><BGM>m_wv_title</BGM>:Having arrived at a conclusion, your lips curl up in a dangerous smile as you push open the door of the convenience store.

()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<分支>3</分支>:What did you just say?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支>:You stand coldly in front of the cashier and stares intensely at his forehead— +Apparently, this gesture of intimidation can convince others that you are not to be messed with.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<分支>3</分支>:Just now, you mean? I asked them if they still wanted these eight bentos.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><同时置暗>||<分支>3</分支>:Well, I'm taking them all.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支><SE1>ClothingUp</SE1><SE1>AVG_Zipper</SE1>:The cashier's voice seems to radiate some kind of compelling magic. You obediently fish out the money you got from pawning off what valuables you had earlier.
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<分支>3</分支><SE1>AVG_Cash_register</SE1>:Yes, taking 4,000 yen in cash. +Would you like the bentos microwaved?

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支>:The cashier puts you down across the counter and starts heating up the bentos.
NPC-Sakura(2)<Speaker>Sakura Minamoto</Speaker><Position>0,-270</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||<分支>3</分支><SE1>RunStep</SE1>:Commander, what just happened?
NPC-Saki(3)<Speaker>Saki Nikaido</Speaker><Position>0,-190</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||<分支>3</分支>:Seriously, what the hell was that?! What's with that levitation?!

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>3</分支>:Still dumbfounded, you collect the bentos and have a simple lunch with Franchouchou. +Although you're still not entirely sure what just happened, at least you have had a happy lunch break.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:You grit your teeth and fish out the money you got from pawning off what valuables you had earlier. Then you push open the door and enter the convenience store.

()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>AVG_Zipper</SE1><SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:I'll foot the bill. 4,000 yen in total, yeah?
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<分支>1</分支>:Yes.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>AVG_TurnOverCard</SE1>:As you put down your limited cash with feigned nonchalance, you can almost feel your charm go up by 200 points—if such stats exist in this universe.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>Rope</SE1><分支>1</分支>:Just then, you feel a strong tug on the hem of your coat.
NPC-Tae(1)<Speaker>Tae Yamada</Speaker><Position>0,-340</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale><Shake>0.1</Shake>||<分支>1</分支>:Ugh... Argh... (The translator is offline.)

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Tae places two packets of dried shredded squid on top of the bentos and points at you.

NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Convenience Store Cashier</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>AVG_Cash_register</SE1>:Sure thing. That would be 4,200 yen altogether. Taking 4,200 yen in cash. Please take your items. +Would you like the bentos microwaved?
NPC-Ninja(4)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>0,-420</Position><Scale>1.6</Scale><同时置暗>||<分支>1</分支>:Yes, please.

NPC-Yugiri(3)<Speaker>Yugiri</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale>||<分支>1</分支>:Being cared for makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
NPC-Yugiri(3)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><Position>120,-150</Position><Scale>1.85</Scale><同时置暗>||<分支>1</分支>:It's alright. We're now a team, after all. +We're all in this together, through thick and thin.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支>:The Franchouchou girls' eyes shine with gratitude. You believe you have done the right thing by strengthening your bond with them. +Perhaps this will benefit your subsequent work. +Perhaps this is the ice-breaker needed for everyone to begin their training, complete the concert, then send you off happily so that you can return to Griffin, where you must be very sorely missed... +At the thought of this, you beam contently.
NPC-MizunoAi(0)<Speaker>Ai Mizuno</Speaker><Position>60,-250</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||<分支>1</分支>:Thank you, Commander. I'll be going then.
NPC-Junko(0)<Speaker>Junko Konno</Speaker><Position>60,-230</Position><Scale>1.27</Scale>||<分支>1</分支>:I also have other matters to attend to. Please enjoy your meal.

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>AVG_Door_Open_Close</SE1><SE1>AVG_20Winter_Doorbell</SE1>:Your fantasy is instantly shattered, but at least a few of the girls are staying to have lunch with you.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>1</分支><SE1>AVG_tableware</SE1>:You end up having a simple lunch accompanied by some pleasant chit-chat. +Other than needing to stop Tae from getting another packet of dried shredded squid, it has been a lovely lunch break.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>2</分支><BGM>GF_20HW_Battle1_BPM102_Loop</BGM>:You let out a low snicker. How dare they gossip about you behind your back. They haven't actually spoken ill of you, but this feeling of being excluded isn't cool at all. +You pull a face at the Franchouchou girls' stiff backs through the shop window before turning to find another place to eat.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>2</分支>:But just then, Tae turns her head—
NPC-Tae(1)<Speaker></Speaker><Position>0,-340</Position><Scale>1.4</Scale>||<分支>2</分支><SE1>AVG_Cheerful</SE1>:—and spots you immediately. You can see her inert face light up with elation.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<分支>2</分支>:<color=#A9A9A9>She's going to tell the others I'm here!</color>+<color=#A9A9A9>I gotta leave the scene right now!</color>
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>2</分支><SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Relying on your abundance of combat experience, you lift your left arm and stride out with your left leg... No, wait, that's rubbish coordination. It should be your right—
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<分支>2</分支><SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Before you can adjust your movement, your body is already shooting ahead of your brain, and you end up lifting both your legs one after the other within a split second—
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<controll_shake>%%type_id=2%%duration=3%%delay=0.1%%range=8</controll_shake><分支>2</分支><SE1>AVG_Cloak_Whoosh</SE1>:And so, your left leg kicks off on your right leg, which sends you soaring into the convenience store.
