[player]I think Usumi Ishihara could be at Asaha High School.
[Anju Suzumiya]Question: Shall we go to Asaha High School and look for Usumi Ishihara immediately?
[player]Let's go.
Asaha High School
When Anju and I returned to Asaha High School, I received a text from Usumi Ishihara. Turned out he forgot to bring his phone in the morning. I realized it was too late to learn mooncake-making from him. Anju suddenly pulled my sleeve.
[Anju Suzumiya]KR-976 just found some mooncake recipes on the internet. Maybe they can be of PLAYER's help.
[player]But there are a lot of cakes to be made. I'm afraid I can't finish on my own.
[Anju Suzumiya]As a social artificial intelligence, KR-976 will provide assistance when the target of communication is in trouble. That is, if PLAYER actively asks for help.
Anju said I needed to "actively ask for help", but she was already calculating the amount of ingredients required on her notebook.
[player]Thank you, Anju.
She seemed to be surprised and looked up at me. After a short moment of hesitation, she asked me quietly.
[Anju Suzumiya]Question: If PLAYER wants to thank KR-976, can you change to a different filling?
[player]Why?
[player]Why?
[Anju Suzumiya]Because... KR-976 doesn't like mixed-nuts flavored mooncakes.
I didn't expect a "social artificial intelligence" to pick on food. But it was just the filling of mooncakes, I didn't mind.
[player]What type of filling would you like, Anju?
[Anju Suzumiya]Question: Is strawberry and cheese an option?
I didn't see a problem. After all, there were other strawberry and cheese flavored pastries. I nodded and saw a satisfied smile on Anju.
Strawberry and cheese flavored mooncakes, huh... Now I'm keen to know how they taste.
I unexpectedly learned something new about Anju Suzumiya today—she hated mooncakes with mixed-nuts filling.
