>"Better have paid enough..."
>Quick! Memorize that license plate!

>You take a peek at the license plate and try to memorize it before the lady and her car goes completely out of sight.
>You manage to catch it. It says AOCF2018.

>Nitori scoops up the money the lady rudely dropped, and began counting them.
>"That's $100 more than required, so more than enough..." She says.

>Nitori grabbed a magnifying glass from a nearby desk, and used it to scrutinize the money.
>"Can't tell..." She says. "If this is fake, then it is really well made..."

>Nitori gives you the lady's payment, and then you compare it to the bank notes that the two of you received as payment from earlier customers.

>You find nothing that would suggest they are fake, so they're definitely real...

x-x-x

>The two of you arrive at a place called "Misty's Sushi & Sashimi". It's not a fancy restaurant, but not too shabby either. Certainly not the kind of establishment that rich people would blow their money on.

>Entering, you two find an empty seat immediately and take it.
>The waitress soon arrived to take your orders. Nitori took care of the orders, which seemed to consist of only the cheapest stuffs in the place...
>Nitori notice you staring at her. "We're rationing our money, just in case. Hope you don't mind." She tells you.

>With the order-taking complete, the waitress tells you to please wait warmly for the orders to arrive before leaving your table.

>"So, how was it?" Nitori decided to start a conversation with you. "The workshift, I mean."

>"Well... um... I don't mean to sound rude, but with how little you know about machinery, there's only so much you can do to help me with the work." Nitori tells you. "Passing tools and stuff to me is also pretty helpful, though. So there's that."

>You take a look around the restaurant. You don't find anyone or anything notable or interesting. For now...

>"It's alright. Maybe it was because you're both tired and starving..." Nitori says.

>At that moment, your orders have arrived at your table.
>"Enjoy your meal!" The waitress tells you after placing your orders on your table, and then leaves.

>"Well, speaking of starving..." Nitori says as she grabs two pairs of chopsticks and passes a pair to you. "Itadakimasu~"
