Tonia and Yume are standing in front of the convenience store's onigiri shelf.

Tonia

ユメ、おにぎり、どれがいい?漢字が読めないな。

Yume, which onigiri is good? I can't read the kanji.

Yume

これは「梅」だよ。ちょっと酸っぱい。これは「ツナマヨ」。あ、これは「明太子」。ちょっと辛いよ。それから、これは焼き鮭の焼きおにぎり。

This is 'ume' — a bit sour. This is 'tuna-mayo'. Ah, and this is 'mentaiko' — a bit spicy. And this one is a grilled-salmon yaki onigiri.

Tonia

全部おいしそう!じゃあ、一つずつ買って、二人で分けない?

They all look good! Then shall we buy one of each and share?

Yume

いいね、そうしよう!あと、このお弁当とお茶も買おう。

Nice, let's do that! And let's get this bento and tea too.

They bring their items to the checkout. Yume puts her items down first.

Tonia and Yume sit on a quiet plaza bench under the evening sky, opening their takeout bags.

Yume

はい、おにぎり。どれから食べる?

Here, onigiri. Which one first?

Tonia

私は明太子から!……わっ、辛い!でもおいしい!

Mentaiko first for me! ...Whoa, spicy! But good!

Yume

でしょ?焼きおにぎりも食べてみて。お醤油の味だよ。

Right? Try the yaki onigiri too. It tastes of soy sauce.

Tonia

うーん、全部おいしいけど、ツナマヨが一番好き!

Mmm, they're all good, but tuna-mayo is my favorite!

Yume

よかった!梅はちょっと酸っぱかった?

Good! Was the plum a bit sour?

Tonia

うん、ちょっと酸っぱい。でもお茶に合う。

Yeah, a bit sour. But it goes well with tea.

Yume

そうそう、お茶に合うよね。明日は何をするの?

Right, right, it goes well with tea. What will you do tomorrow?

Tonia

明日は、浅草に行くよ。

Tomorrow, I am going to Asakusa.

Yume

いいね!楽しんでね。

Nice! Have fun.

They finish eating and walk back to the street corner near Tonia's hotel to say goodbye.

Tonia

今日はありがとう。楽しかった。

Thank you for today. It was fun.

Yume

ううん、こちらこそ。おやすみ、トニア!

No, thank you too. Good night, Tonia!
