;(Go to Kiminami Restaurant)
: Sayu: *sniffs* Oh, something smells amazing here! It smells so good that I'd even wake up to find where it's coming from!
: Kiminami Anna: Welcome to Kiminami Restaurant! What can I get for the two of you?
: Sayu: Oh, hmm... Lemme think. I'll have Rice Cake Soup, a Tuna Sushi, a Tricolor Dango... Oh, and one Tri-Flavored Skewer, please.
: Don't you think that's a bit much for you?
: Sayu: Time waits for no one, it's time for me to take things into my own hands. If I can't grow more by eating more, then we'll still have time to try something else.
: Makes sense.
: It seems you've really put a lot of thought into this.
: Sayu: I've always taken a proactive approach to growing taller. I can even overcome my sleepiness if I need to.
: Sayu: Speaking of which, I've never been able to eat very much in one sitting. I thought I could try and see what my limits are this time.
: Sayu: But... if I can't finish it all, would you help me...
: Sayu: Ugh, no! That's no good... I've got to stay positive, I know I can finish it all.
: Don't worry, I'll help you finish whatever's left.
: Sayu: Yay, thanks! That way, I don't have to worry about any of the food going to waste.
: Sayu: Eating food like this will help me grow right away, won't it? Maybe I'll gain a whole 6 inches!
: Let's not get too optimistic, growing takes time.
: Sayu: Yeah, you might be right. Let's eat everything up and find out.
:
: Sayu: *hiccup* Ugh...
: Are you feeling okay?
: Sayu: I'm alright... Don't worry about me...
: Sayu: I'm just a bit full, that's all... Ugh, I can't move.
: Pretty sure that means you're not okay.
: Sayu: Ugh, I don't feel like I'm getting taller at all. If anything, I'm only growing wider.
: Sayu: But if that's the price of getting taller, then I'm willing to pay it.
: Sayu: Okay... Time to order some more Dango.
: Sayu: Dango... Yes, more Dango...
: Uh, are you okay?
: Sayu: I think the Dango are making a swirl reaction in my tummy...
: Sayu: Urgh, who knew Dango could pack such a punch.
: If you eat any more, I think you might burst.
: Sayu: Ugh, I just don't get it...
: Sayu: Why does growing have to be so difficult!?
: Do you still wish to continue?
:;(Proceed to Branch 1)
: Eating like this might have a negative effect on your health. Maybe we should consider some other options.
:;(Proceed to Branch 2)
===Branch 1===
: Do you still wish to continue?
: Sayu: Let's keep at it. No pain, no gain!
: Sayu: But maybe I could try some other food... All the stuff we just ordered is starting a swirl reaction in my tummy.
: Alright, then follow me.
: We shouldn't bite more than we can chew.
: Sayu: Yeah, I understand.
: Sayu: Remember, not too fast now... Oof, my tummy hurts!
:;(Proceed to Hard Work Pays Off)
;(Talk to Kiminami Anna again)
: Kiminami Anna: She did eat quite a lot, will she be okay?
: Kiminami Anna: You should keep an eye on her, just in case.
====Hard Work Pays Off====
;(Go to Shimura's)
: Sayu: Lesson learned... Next time, only order one dish. If we finish it, then we can order another...
: Sayu: That would be a better plan, wouldn't it?
: It seems you've reached your limit. How about we take a break?
: Sayu: No way, I won't give up. Some things can never be achieved until you push yourself.
: Sayu: If I can't eat any more, then we can always order some tea.
: Sayu: My body needs to get the signal that I'm trying to grow taller.
: It can be hard to be nimble with a full stomach.
: Sayu: Yeah, I'm a little worried about that, too...
: Sayu: Ninja must be quick on their feet. It'd be embarrassing to get stuck in a tight passageway.
: Sayu: But my body will feel my desire to grow and direct all the nutrients to the right place.
: Uh, good luck with that.
: I'm not sure if it'll be that easy.
: Sayu: I've already eaten this much, I can't give up now!
:
: Sayu: Ugh, that's it, I'm done... Growing is more painful than I thought.
: Sayu: We still have two Radishes left over. Would you mind finishing them?
: Sure thing. I've been waiting for a chance to help.
: Sayu: No, wait a second. Let me think...
: Sayu: On second thought, let me try to eat more.
: Sayu: Otherwise, I'll feel like I didn't give it my best shot. I should at least eat one more.
: Sayu: Then, I'll call it quits. No more trying to grow by eating.
: Sayu: Whew, alright... Here it goes.
: Kano Nana: Sayu? Where are you, Sayu? Come out this instant!
: Sayu: Uh oh! It's the shrine maiden! Not good...
: We've been out for too long.
: Sayu: She's coming this way! What should we do!?
: Sayu: There's only one option now... I'll lead her away from here and try to shake her off my trail. We'll meet back here later.
: Sayu: I'll just slip away and... Ugh, oh no! My tummy... it's too full...
: Sayu: Whoa!
====Ending: Everything in Moderation====
===Branch 2===
: Eating like this might have a negative effect on your health. Maybe we should consider some other options.
: Sayu: But are there any other options? ...I never thought that eating could be so painful.
: We could always try doing some training.
: Sayu: Ugh, believe me, I already know everything there is about training.
: Kids that love running and jumping everywhere give a strong impression that they are going to grow a lot.
: Sayu: Hmm, you do have a point...
: Sayu: Now that I think about it, the tallest ninja in the Shuumatsuban always seems to be training their ninjutsu and accepting extremely difficult tasks.
: Maybe sleep has only had the opposite effect on you.
: Sayu: No, no, that can't be it... Actually, I haven't kept a good balance of sleep and training, but that's because I feel sleepy way more often than I feel energetic!
: Sayu: Hmm, I get it now. I need to do more training with you. Adventuring, combat — I need to do it all!
: Why don't you come with me and see if the Adventurers' Guild has any commissions for us to handle?
: Kiminami Anna: Pardon my eavesdropping, but did you say that you're going to the Adventurers' Guild to take a commission?
: Kiminami Anna: Recently, we've been running into a group of rowdy Treasure Hoarders whenever we go into the wild to gather ingredients. It seems as if they're intentionally targeting our restaurant staff. *sigh* I hope you can understand how dire the situation has become.
: Kiminami Anna: This matter has been taking a real toll on our business. Since I've already submitted the commission to Katheryne, perhaps you can consider helping us out?
: Sayu: Treasure Hoarders, huh? Well, bad guys are the best practice targets for ninjutsu.
: Okay! We'll take care of it.
: I guess our post-meal plans are settled then.
: Kiminami Anna: Great, you have my thanks! Let me show you where the Treasure Hoarders have been most active these days.
:;(Proceed to Exercise Follows Eating)
;(Talk to Kiminami Anna again)
: Kiminami Anna: Thanks again for offering your help. Please do be careful out there.
====Exercise Follows Eating====
;(Go to the Treasure Hoarders' camp)
: Sayu: Anna was right, there's the Treasure Hoarders.
: Sayu: All that food we just ate is weighing me down a bit, but I think we can still handle them.
----
;(After the battle)
: Sayu: Alright, last one. Watch this!
: Sayu: Oh no, aaaaaaah!
: Sayu: *whimpers*
: Sayu: How... How could this happen?
: What's wrong?
: Are you injured?
: Sayu: No, it's all that big brute's fault. Just as I was taking care of the last of them, he charged straight at me!
: Sayu: I moved back to dodge him, but he was too tall... As he reached out to grab me, his hand landed right on my head.
: Sayu: It's over... It's all over. All that hard work for nothing. Ugh, he crossed the line... Everyone knows that if you're trying to grow taller, you can't be touched on the head.
: You're saying getting patted on the head can stunt your growth?
: Sayu: Of course! I never let anyone touch my head. Who knows how much I'll have to eat and sleep or how much training I'll have to do to make up for it.
: I don't think that will stop you from growing.
: You're just assuming things.
: Sayu: Ugh, it's a real bummer, you know. *sigh* I see you're just trying to comfort me. Thanks...
: Sayu: It's not fun to be patted on the head. But what's done is done, there's nothing I can do about it now.
: Sayu: Uh, just forget it, I give up on growing. I'm not gonna grow any taller today, that's for sure.
: Sayu: Sorry, I don't want to bum you out with my terrible mood. I should probably just go back now. The shrine maiden's gonna give me a real earful, might as well get it over with.
: There's a saying, you know: All good things come to those who wait.
: It simply takes time to grow.
: Sayu: I get it... I'll try to look at the bright side.
: Sayu: I was too anxious about growing and now I'm being punished by the archons.
: I have another idea, Sayu.
: Sayu: No, no need. I don't want to trouble you anymore. Maybe my stunted growth is tied to my bad attitude more than anything else.
: Sayu: Getting you involved any further will just be a waste of your time.
: Though you might not be growing taller now, you can still experience the feeling of growing.
: Sayu: Huh? "The feeling of growing"... What do you mean?
: Imagine, after you grow taller, you can reach higher places and see much farther, right?
: Sayu: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm after.
: Alright then, come with me. I promise you'll feel better.
: Sayu: Reach higher and see farther... really?
: Sayu: Sounds good, I appreciate all your help.
====Not As Planned====
;(Go to a high spot to relax with Sayu)
: Sayu: You had me worried on the way here, you know. I seriously wondered if you were taking me to the Kamisato residence or the shrine...
: Sayu: But you weren't kidding, I can see much farther from here.
: Sayu: Somehow I feel a little better after coming up so high.
: Is there anything in particular that you'd like to do after you grow taller?
: Sayu: No, nothing particularly special. I'd simply like to go to the forest and pick some fruit from the trees without having to jump or find something to step on. Just that would be enough to make me happy.
: Sayu: I'd also like to go swimming in water that's too deep for me now, and no one will tease me anymore for my toes not being able to touch the bottom.
: Sayu: Oh, oh! And I'll be able to eat more, too, and stop wasting food all the time.
: I suppose being taller will make things easier for you.
: Sayu: Oh! And not to mention I'll become more free, too!
: Sayu: I won't need to have a guardian to look after me, and the shrine maiden won't be out to catch me anymore.
: Sayu: I'll even be able to visit other places for training. I'll go wherever I want and sleep wherever I want!
: Sayu: Ah, imagine, no need to catch up on naps anymore. That will be the day...
: Sayu: By the way, do you happen to need anyone with ninjutsu skills to accompany you on your adventures?
: Adventuring is a grueling experience.
: Adventuring is not a game.
: Sayu: Hm, see? You still see me by my current height. Hmph! Who knows, maybe I'll be even taller than you one day!
: Sayu: Just wait till I'm taller. You won't need to worry about me ever again, hehe.
: See? You're already in a better mood.
: Sayu: Yeah, you're right. Thanks.
: Sayu: From now on, I'll visit high places more often. They really do work miracles.
: This isn't the highest you can achieve, you know.
: Sayu: Huh? What do you mean?
: You can still reach even higher and see even farther, but you can't do that just by standing here.
: Sayu: Oh, I see. So what should I do?
: Sayu: Huh? Wh—Wh—Whoaaaa!
