Kojiro and Nyasu remained at their donut truck, determined to finish their work day in a more positive manner. Nyasu was still bored, but noticed that Kojiro was in a noticeably higher spirit than before.

"You're going about this boring afternoon a lot better than earlier, Meow," Nyasu commented suspiciously. Kojiro flushed a bit around his cheeks and said, "I just thought that you were right. We are doing this for the Rocket Gang and Sakaki."

"Uh huh," Nyasu answered with skepticism. "Are you sure it's not just that Pineapple Festival coming up?"

Kojiro stiffened in response. His back to Nyasu. "T-that too, I suppose," he retorted. "Plus, festivals are always fun, and it's nice to take a break."

Nyasu was about to retort back, when he noticed a young woman standing outside their truck window.

"Welcome to our Kiteruguma Honey Donut truck, meow!" Nyasu exclaimed.

"Oh, hi!" the woman answered quietly, looking at their selection of donuts. "I've never had these before. So, I'm not sure..." She had brown, straight hair that went to her shoulders, curling slightly on the ends. Her eyes, a pretty honey color, gleamed in curiosity as she browsed the desserts.

"These happen to be the most delicious dessert you can find in Alola!" exclaimed Kojiro, stepping forward to help the woman. "I guarantee you will love them!" With that last remark, Kojiro grabbed a fresh donut with some tongs, and placed it in a small paper bag. He then handed it to her. "Try one!" Kojiro offered, giving her a friendly smile.

The woman paused before she took the bag from Kojiro, taking in his cute smile and gorgeous green eyes. She smiled shyly and tucked a lock of her short, brown hair behind her ear, taking the bag from Kojiro. "Thanks!"

She took a bite of the donut and immediately hummed in approval. "Delicious!" she cried out. "You were right!"

"Of course I'm right!" Kojiro said. "I make them myself!"

"Whoa!" exclaimed the young woman, in awe of his gift for pastry making.

"Not just yourself," Nyasu grumbled aloud. "Musashi and I help, Meow."

Kojiro smiled apologetically before looking at the woman again. "So, what will it be?" he asked her.

"Huh?" she asked, surprised by the question. She had been unconsciously staring at Kojiro. "Oh! Oh, yes, the donuts. I will definitely buy some!"

Kojiro put some fresh donuts in a bag and handed it to her, smiling brightly. "Here you go!"

"Thank you!" she said. Then, blushing, she said, "My name's Melody."

"You're welcome Melody!" Kojiro answered with another friendly smile. "Come back anytime!" He hoped that was dismissive enough so that Melody would leave without asking his name. Kojiro didn't have enough time to think of a witty disguise name aside from 'Fire Kojiro' at the current moment.

Melody gave a slight look of disappointment before smiling gratefully at Kojiro and Nyasu. Then, she bounded away. Nyasu and Kojiro exchanged looks, before shrugging and returning back to work. Nysasu snickered softly.
