Narrator's POV:

Komi has enjoyed letting her friends spend time at her home, so she decided to socialize with them a bit more.

Komi: "I'd like to go and try out for ramen."

Henry: "Ramen? Well, I mean, sure! My family had plans today anyway."

Najimi: "Well, I'm hungry too, wanna try that new place by the station?"

Tadano: "You don't usually ask for anything, do ya? I actually wanted to go there for a while.

Komi: "Oh? It was your dream as well?" Tadano nodded in response to that question.

Agari: "Oh, you guys are going for ramen?" Agari is a ramen expert.

After a walk, the group had arrived to a ramen shop: Ramen Daro.

Agari: "Ta-da! I recommend this place!"

Henry: "Ah, Ramen Daro, eh? You've got great taste."

Najimi, Tadano and Komi were expectant about the shop, however, Najimi heard that it's a bit unhealthy style of cooking, but...

Najimi: "Is it fine? I heard it's quite greasy and stuffy..."

Tadano and Komi: "Let's go." Yeah, they did not care.

They entered the shop. Henry and Agari went to make everyone's order.

Najimi: "Places like this have special rules, right? I saw it on TV. I'll take the same as Agari-."

Agari and Henry stopped Najimi from speaking and whispered something to their ear:

Henry and Agari: "Guilty..."

Ramen Daro has 4 commandments, and Najimi had just broken one of those: 

Thou shall not talk.

Komi and Tadano had no problem with that; but Najimi didn't see what Henry or Agari had ordered and took too long to choose, breaking the second commandment:

Thou shall order promptly and sit. 

Najimi ended up breaking 2 of the commandments and was getting anxious, breaking the third commandment:

Thou shall be polite to the boss and wait calmly.

The owner of the shop had finally arrived, so the shock of Najimi, his voice was... way to silent, you could barely hear him.

Owner: "Toppings?"

Agari: "Veggies. Garlic. Lots of lard. Soy sauce." 

Henry: "I'll just take the veggies and soy sauce, thanks." The way they spoke quite quickly, made Najimi think that they were chanting.

Owner: "And for the couple?" Henry was about to burst of laughter at that comment. However, they just stared at the owner. Surprisingly, it seemed like the owner did know what they were doing (unlike that Standbakes barista from communication 4...)

After a little wait, the owner brought the students their bowls, which were... huge. 

Agari and Henry: "Itadakimasu!/ Thanks for the meal!"

Komi and Tadano were eating slowly, enjoying the meal and secretly thanking Agari and Henry for inviting them.

To the surprise of may I ask who, Komi and Tadano were being watched by almost every costumer on the shop. The owner seemed happy.

Then they realized that they were making a scene, so they quickly got up from their respective seats, obeying Ramen Daro's fourth commandment:

Thou shall clear your bowl and leave quickly after eating.

Najimi's noodles ended up getting soggy because they were too distracted watching Komi and Tadano.

Agari: "So? Wasn't it great?"

Henry: "Yeah, how did it go?"

Najimi: "It was nice, but I'm way too full..."

Tadano: "We should go eat again some time." Komi stayed next to Tadano and started nodding.

Every one else was smiling.

Najimi: "Nah, I'm good"

Henry: "You asked something way too big, Najimi..."

But they started carving it.
