[video/action | Goldenrod Department Store]
[Yui is at the Goldenrod Department Store! She gives the gear a wave, showing off the sewaddle on her shoulder.]
Hey, hey, look at this guy! This is Konoha-chan, and he won second place at the Bug-Catching Contest! I think we should have a party to celebrate, so I'm shopping for ingredients...
Hmm...
Ui wouldn't let me try marshmallow hot-pot before. Maybe we should do that now! Yeah! Everybody's invited for Yui's Special Hot-Pot Supper!
What do you think, Konoha-chan? How many marshmallows can we buy for twenty thousand? I hope it's enough to feed Yawn-chan if he wakes up...
Oh, but hot-pot should have some different food in it, right? Let's see...marshmallow, red bean paste, chiffon cake, pickled radish...

Erm...marshmallows are a bit sweet for a hot-pot, don't you think? I mean, people usually put meat and vegetables into a hot-pot, right?
[video]
That's right! Nobody's ever made a dessert hot-pot before!
[A-and it's totally different from fondue okay...]
So I'm gonna make it into a new famous recipe!
[video]
[An all-sweet hotpot is kind of odd, but...well, it's better than the alternative]
[video]
[Or so she thinks...]
I thought about putting in more sweets, but isn't it better if I put in every flavour?
[video]
I'm not so sure about that - I mean, too much sweet stuff isn't good, either, but having every flavor might just make everything taste weird. It's like....
[thinks, until she comes up with something]
It would be like eating a piece of fruit after brushing your teeth. Usually the fruit tastes good, but since you just put something minty in your mouth, it just tastes kind of... off.
[video]
[She thinks about that example for a moment...and then beams!]
It's okay! I'm not putting any toothpaste in it!
[video]
[then again...]
Though...well, I wouldn't use toothpaste, but mint goes pretty well with sweets. I'm not sure how well it would go with everything else, though.
[video]
[She tries to imagine it, but she's never tried mint with dumplings or shrimp...]
Then let's find out!
[video]
[She has her doubts about the hotpot, but this girl's enthusiasm is pretty infectious, and Utena can't help but smile at the screen]
If I can't make it, then tell me how it goes, alright?
[video]
[Her disappoint is pretty brief, though, and she beams back again.]
I'll tell you how it is! Maybe I can even save leftovers for you.
[video]
[Blinks in realization, before she offers an embarrassed smile]
Though, I should probably introduce myself before I eat your leftovers, huh? My name's Utena Tenjou, and I just got here a couple months ago.
[video]
[She pauses for a second, then grins.]
--Uta-chan!
[She likes simple nicknames for people.]
I'm Yui Hirasawa.
[video]
It's, erm, nice to meet you, Yui-chan...
[She realizes that she's still a bit stiff, and shakes her head]
Sorry, it's been a while since anyone's given me a nickname like that - or, well, any kind of nickname, for that matter.
[video]
Oh, then this is really exciting! Uta-chan, Uta-chan!
[video]
So, I've got to ask - do you give everybody you know nicknames like this, or am I just a special case?
[video]
Well, you're the only Uta-chan! Azunyan is Azunyan, and Ricchan's Ricchan...
[AKA...she sure does!]
[video]
And what about your pokemon? Do they have names like that, too?
[She's going to guess "yes", but, well, not everyone bothers with that...]
[video]
Yeah! Yawn-chan, Maru-chan, Cha-Cha-chan, Biribiri-chan...
