As the leader of the Cooking Club, she wears a dark mint green apron with light mint pocket trim and a cupcake print on the left pocket. The right pocket has darker mint flower patterns on it.

When outside of school, Amai wears cute, girly, and feminine clothing.

Personality

“

Amai is the president of the school's cooking club. Her culinary skills are far beyond her age, and nothing makes her happier than seeing people enjoy the food that she has prepared.

Amai will be absent from school during the first week of gameplay, but she will meet Senpai immediately after the events of Week 1, at a point in time when Senpai is feeling sad and vulnerable. She will quickly forge a bond with him, during a point in time when Senpai deeply needs a new friend.

With her kind and caring nature, it's easy to see how Senpai could easily fall for her within a week's time. If nobody stands in her way, Senpai will belong to her in no time at all. Remember: the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach!

”

— Description on official website.

Among the personas that are currently implemented, Amai is Lovestruck. If she witnesses a murder, she will run to Taro Yamada and inform him that Ayano Aishi is the murderer, which causes an automatic Game Over. She will happily pose for the camera if Ayano aims her phone's camera at her face.

In Mission Mode, Amai is a Social Butterfly. If she witnesses a murder or sees a corpse, she will run to the nearest populated area and call the police. If Ayano approaches, she will scream for her to go away, and if Ayano commits another murder in her eyesight, she will curl into a ball.

YandereDev envisions her as a "warm, kind, and good-hearted girl." Amai is a "big sister" or "onee-chan" type of character. She is a very friendly club leader who tries to focus on the positive aspects instead of the negative ones in people. As a result, most of her thoughts are positive and related to food. In unfamiliar situations, she can be shy, such as during her confession under the cherry blossom tree.

Amai's embarrassing secret is that she once secretly spat on the food of a rude customer.

Amai is a gentle-spoken girl who wants to see a smile on the face of everyone around her and is always very polite, even if others say or do something that bothers her. She is also very kind and generous, offering to listen to Taro's woes and even offers him pastries, even though they had never interacted before. As a girl who has never dated, Amai is extremely worried about spending her whole life without experiencing love and wants a boyfriend who cares deeply about her. Notably, she prefers cuter and more elegant compliments than vulgar ones. According to herself, she was once extremely addicted to anime and video games, spending 24 hours a day on these activities; she eventually realized her lifestyle and became worried about wasting her life, so she completely cut video games and anime from her life, according to her, she is happy about it.

Despite her kind and caring personality, Amai is not dumb and is wary of suspicious people and even criticizes them, like Rei Ando and the Occult Club members, she even shares her distrust of Rei with her mother and most trusted friends in a private blog, saying that she's plotting something, and even publicly shares her negative opinion about the Occult Club and the practices of the members of that club. But due to her hatred and fear of spreading gossip, she rarely states her suspicions as an accusation and almost always ends up saying something to ease the situation, probably to avoid generating future conflicts. Seeing her diary (which has been removed from the game), it is shown that she harbors a huge resentment towards Rei.

Although inexperienced with romance, it is explicit that Amai is somewhat bold and even persuasive, exhibiting a very confident demeanor to win someone's heart. This is shown when she displays her full interest in wooing Taro, not minding saying things that make it obvious that she desires him, she also doesn't mind flirting with him in front of her club members and is very good at convincing him to join the Cooking Club and win him over, going so far as to give him free pastries, sew a new apron for him and even schedule a picnic with him at a reserved location. Unlike Osana, she doesn't seem to care at all about chasing Taro romantically, not caring if she comes off as desperate or not. During her confession, she said she was doing everything in her power to win his heart.

Amai cares deeply about her family, seeing them as the most valuable thing to her; she sees her parents as her heroes and even calls her mother "the kitchen goddess"; she is also very afraid of disappointing them. Despite being a pacifist, protecting her family would be the only reason Amai would willingly take a human life, not minding sacrificing even her own life. This can be confirmed in the October 2017 Progress Report video, where Amai is shown as a murderer in a possible elimination method called "drive to murder," showing her disturbingly bloody, indicating that, under the right circumstances, Amai would indeed be capable of resorting to violence and murder if it were for the good of her family. When Amai was 13 years old, she possessed almost all the characteristics of her current self, however, it is explicit that she was very childish and immature, as she secretly spat in the food of a customer who was rude to her mother and bragged about it on the internet, describing the situation as "deserved and funny." Amai's love for her family and bakery is so much that she could be provoked/manipulated into murdering the person she believes is responsible for damaging/destroying her family's bakery.

In contrast to her old personality from five years ago, Amai is very mature and responsible and is committed to her duties to her family's bakery and club, going so far as to prioritize the quality of the food above all else, such as not adopting a cat so as not to risk fur contaminating the food her family prepares, despite her wanting a pet cat very much. The reason why Amai has never dated before is because she was busy helping with her family's bakery. According to Shoku Tsuburaya, she is very busy. Amai loves cooking, unable to imagine anything she would be more passionate about than food. The only professions she would pursue if she couldn't be a cook are artist and gardener because, for her, cooking is art and growing plants is similar to preparing food. According to her, her brain is for food.

She is someone who can easily make friends due to her extremely friendly personality.

Relationships

Taro Yamada

Main article: Taro Yamada

On the Saturday of Week 1, Amai was heading to the Odayaka bakery when she noticed that Taro was feeling sad and alone on a bench at the bus stop. Showing concern for him, Amai asks Taro to tell her what was wrong. He tells her that his childhood friend had died, disappeared, been arrested for murder, been expelled, committed suicide, stopped attending Akademi, was rejected by him, already has a boyfriend, or doesn't seem interested in spending time with him anymore, depending on the player's actions. Amai's know Taro, since she attended Akademi for a year and has seen him around.

Amai offers Taro a cupcake as comfort, which he graciously accepts and enjoys. Amai, still concerned, offers to take him to her family's bakery. At first, Taro refuses due to not wanting to bother her, but goes after Amai insists. At the Odayaka bakery, Amai continues to comfort Taro, talking to him and making him laugh. This interaction initiates the start of their bond.

Like most rivals, Amai has a crush on Taro and will confess her feelings to him on the Friday of Week 2.

If Taro entered a relationship with her, she would convince him to join the Cooking Club.

Cooking Club Members

Main articles: Kenko Sukoyaka, Seiyo Akanishi, Ajia Ashitomi, Saki Miyu

YandereDev says that Amai's interactions between herself and her club members are more like "interactions between friends than interactions between a leader and followers."

She often compliments their food, and when they ask for advice, she provides them with suggestions on how to improve or prepare their dishes better.

Shoku Tsuburaya

Main article: Shoku Tsuburaya

Amai fully trusts Shoku to run the cooking club while she is away, Shoku has a crush on Amai and wants to find out everything about her to have a chance to win her heart. Although she trusts him with such responsibility, it is not known for sure how close they are, as Shoku did not have any of Amai's social media usernames and has no knowledge of her personal life. Amai probably chose Shoku to operate her club more for professional reasons than personal ones, as Shoku is a connoisseur of good food with a refined palate, so she probably chose him because, of all the members of the Cooking Club, he was indeed the most competent. Shoku is Amai's suitor, and Ayano can matchmake her with him to eliminate Amai.

Others

Family

Main articles: Beika Odayaka, Satoko Odayaka

Amai loves her mother and helps her out at her bakery. She also loves her father.

According to one of her Sai-Press posts, she is revealed to have an older sister, Satoko, who she also loves. This makes Amai the second and youngest child of the Odayaka family. Satoko is more energetic and playful than her younger sister, but they have a positive relationship.

If the Odayaka bakery burned down with her family inside, Amai would be extremely traumatized and upset about their deaths.

Info-chan

Main article: Info-chan

During Amai's introduction cutscene, Info-chan tells Ayano to make Amai suffer, the same as with Osana Najimi. Her reasoning for doing this is unknown.

Dark Delights Bakery

Main articles: Dark Delights Bakery, Rei Ando, Minato Ando

Amai suspects the owners of the bakery of sabotaging her family bakery using rats, this is later confirmed to be true and that one of the owners was in fact trying to eliminate her competition.

Trivia

• Her name is a play on the words "甘い" (amai; sweet) and "穏やか" (odayaka; gentle, calm), if mixed together, it will mean "sweet and gentle".
  • Druelbozo said on one of his Twitch streams that the president's name was Japanese for "sweet muffin". This would have been "Amai Mafin" When asked if the name was serious or not, Druelbozo stated "Amai Mafin" is her real name and should be taken seriously". This ended up being false as, as of the 28th of September, 2016, her official name was revealed to be "Amai Odayaka," staying true to only the "Amai" part. Druelbozo later stated that he was originally joking when he said her name was Amai Mafin but was glad that YandereDev kept the "Amai" part.
  • There's also a Japanese name "Amai" (亜舞), which consists of kanji 亜 (a) meaning "sub-", "second" or "Asia" and 舞 (mai) meaning "dance".
• Ryoba's postcard on the first week hints to eliminate Amai via burning; however, it is not officially confirmed yet if the Story Mode rivals will each have a "canon" elimination method.
• The reason for her absence for the first week of school is that she was helping her family bakery, because of Rei sabotaging them.
  • YandereDev said in 2017 that Amai's reason for being absent on the First Week was because she was sick. Apparently, this was changed.
• In the future, if the Cooking Club has disbanded before her designated week arrives, there will be a short cutscene in which she expresses some very sad feelings.
• If she and Uekiya Engeika ever interacted, it would be humorous.
• If Akane Toriyasu was part of the cooking club, they would get along.
• Her storyline involves her family's bakery.
  • Currently, it is not planned to be accessible for visits.
• Amai has a pet hamster named Ham-Ham.
• After beating the game, the player will be prompted to try the "Amai Challenge". It had no reward for completing it and was implemented solely to let players experiment with game mechanics and see what could be the difference between the weeks. It was first implemented on the December 22nd, 2020 build and lost most of its functionality on March 15th, 2024 build as the work on the actual Amai's week started interrupting it. It has now been removed in the May 1st, 2024 build.
  • The player was given 1 day to beat the challenge. Amai and other cooking club members were operating a bake sale at school plaza, many students' routines were adjusted to make it harder to eliminate and dispose of Amai's body, and the incinerator was out of order.
• Amai's birthday is on May 1st.
• YandereDev has stated that he will find a replacement voice actor for Amai.
• Amai does have other interests and hobbies besides food. However, it is a big part of her home life and her club at school that the topic of food preparation often becomes the theme in her interactions/conversations.
• Amai's favorite food is a unique pastry that her mother prepares. While it doesn't look impressive, the taste is what makes it Amai's favorite. The taste is also nostalgic, reminding Amai of her early childhood.
  • Her mother makes it for Amai's birthday annually.
• She watches cooking videos.
• In an email, YandereDev answered that if Amai wasn't in Japan, she'd be in France.
• Amai would collect "Cupcake-themed fashion accessories".

Gameplay

“

Recently, I prepared a new dish that I've never tried to make before. I'd like to find some people to taste-test it and tell me if I did a good job!
Normally, I would just walk around school, hand out samples, and ask for opinions...but, right now, I'm way too busy to do that...
Would you be willing to grab my dish from the fridge in the Home Ec room, serve it to a few people, and collect their feedback for me?

”

— Amai's task.

“

Oh, thank you so much! I prepared nine portions, so please find nine people to taste-test the food. When you're done, please tell me what they said!

”

— Accepting her task.

“

Oh, gosh! I didn't realize how awkward that request sounded until I said it out loud. I'm so sorry to have bothered you!

”

— Declining her task.

“

So, everyone enjoyed it, but they all agreed that it was just a little bit too salty? Got it! Thank you so much for your help - I really appreciate it!

”

— Completing her task.

“

Please share that food with others and collect their opinions!

”

— After Ayano offers Amai her dish.

“

...ugh, that smell! No, it can't be...a gas leak?!
I need to shut off the gas before anything can -

”

— Amai before she got killed by an explosion.

“

What's that smell?! I can't take it! I'm getting out of here!

”

— Amai after a stink bomb was thrown at her in her event.

“

Oh! So, it was you who left that note in my locker!
Do you have proof that someone is trying to sabotage my family's bakery?
...gosh...it's a long story...I wouldn't even know where to begin...
...(sigh)...recently, a new bakery opened up in town. Shortly afterwards...a bunch of terrible things started happening to my family's bakery.
Well, earlier today, a bunch of rats suddenly appeared in our kitchen, right before a health inspection was supposed to take place.
There's no way I can just write that off as a coincidence! I'm certain that the new bakery is behind this...and everything else that's been happening lately, too.
But...I don't have any proof! And, between my studies and bakery responsibilities, I don't have any time to gather evidence...
Yes, I...wait, why are you asking?
But...but, how?
Whoa! Slow down! You don't have to do that. It could end up being a huge waste of time. It might even be dangerous!
Oh, gosh...I really don't know about this!
..well...if you say so...(sigh)...I'll text you their address later...
...but...be careful, okay?! I don't want anyone to get in trouble while trying to help me...

”

— Amai and Ayano's conversation.

“

Oh! So, it was you who left that note in my locker!
Uh...so...you wanted to talk to me about...that new bakery?
...gosh...it's a long story...I wouldn't even know where to begin...

”

— Amai and Ayano's old conversation before the September 15th, 2024 Build.

“

No! I'm not the one who damaged the stove! I don't know how this happened!

”

— Amai trying to defend herself after being framed for creating fire hazard.

“

Wait! I didn't steal anything! I don't know why these things were in my bag!

”

— Amai trying to defend herself after being framed for stealing school property.

“

What? But I made sure the room was clean before I left! It was immaculate - I swear!

”

— Amai trying to defend herself after being framed for neglecting cleaning duties.

“

Huh?! That can't be right! There was nothing wrong with the food I made!

”

— Amai trying to defend herself after being framed for endangering Students' health.

“

That's not true! I never tried to put extra money on the card! I'm being honest!

”

— Amai trying to defend herself after being framed for misappropriating Club funding.

“

Aww! Why, thank you! I always try my best to bring a smile to everyone around me!

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that she's very nice.

“

...uh...um...well...can we change the subject...?...

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that she's very sexy.

“

Oh, no...do you really think so? But, I love my short hair...

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that long hair suits her.

“

Thanks, I'm glad you think so! I like to keep it short so it doesn't get in the way while I'm cooking!

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that short hair suits her.

“

Yeah! Me too! Cooking is probably the one thing I could absolutely never get tired of!

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that he loves cooking.

“

...wh...what...?...you are...?...I'm sorry to hear that...

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that he's tired of cooking.

“

...uh...I'm not...really sure...what I'm supposed to do with that piece of information...

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that her mom is hot.

“

I know, right?! As far as I'm concerned, she may as well be a goddess of cooking!

”

— When Shoku tells Amai that her mom's pastries are great.

“

Oh, really? Thanks for saying so! Sometimes I wonder if it looks silly, haha!

”

”

Hey, Senpai! Are you feeling any better yet?
I know something that might cheer you up! I'm running a bake sale at school today - if you'll drop by, I'll give you some sweets for free!
Seeing you smile would be payment enough for me!
So...is that a yes? Will you be visiting the bake sale?
Okay then, Senpai! I hope you'll have worked up a good appetite by then!

”

— Senpai and Amai's conversation on Monday morning.

“

Mom's calling me? I hope it's nothing serious...

”

— Amai receives a phone call from her mom.

“

Hi, mom! Is everything okay?
Whoa, slow down! What's wrong?
...rats?! Are you serious?!
...wait...what...?...how is that...even possible...?
…well, I…I have a theory…
A lot of bad things have been happening to us recently. It doesn’t feel…natural. It feels like…someone is…doing this to us.
I think someone is trying to sabotage our bakery. If I had to guess, I'd say that it's probably-
…(sigh)…no…I don’t…
…yeah…you’re right…
…no…not a clue…
…okay…good luck…
…(sigh)…I know I’m right, but…how do I prove it…?…

”

”

— Amai talking on the phone with her mom before the September 15th, 2024 Build.

“

Hello, everyone! It's so good to see you all again!
Thank you so much for agreeing to help me with the bake sale this week!
The plan is to bake pastries each morning in the Home Ec room...
...and sell them before class, during lunch, and after cleaning time!
Okay! Everybody ready? Then let's get started!

”

— Amai talking to her club members about baking pastries and selling them.

“

Oh! Senpai! You decided to drop by, after all!
Go ahead - take your pick! Try anything that looks yummy to you!
Hehe, I'm so happy to hear that you like it!
Nothing! It's my treat - on the house!
Like I said, Senpai; the only thing I want from you...is a smile!

”

— Dialogue of Amai With Senpai on Monday if the event isn't sabotaged.

“

Senpai...aren't you going to visit the bake sale?
...oh...um...okay...but...can I ask why?
...oh...oh, gosh...well...yes, that's true...but...
...no...I really have no clue what could've caused that...
...but, Senpai, I...oh...never mind...I understand...

”

— Dialogue of Amai with Senpai on Monday if the event is sabotaged.

“

Hey, Senpai! How many dishes do you know how to cook?
Would you be willing to let me teach you how to cook a simple dish? It'll be so much fun, I promise!
Hehe, that's what an apron is for, silly! It doesn't matter if you make a mess - your clothes will be fine!
Here, let me ask you a question. What's your favorite color?
Then, I'll sew you a stylish black apron so that you can feel cool while you're learning how to cook! I'll give it to you at lunchtime!

”

— Senpai and Amai's conversation on Tuesday morning.

“

Oh! Some black cloth! Perfect!

”

— Amai grabbing black cloth.

“

There - all done! Looks perfect!

”

— Amai after sewing the apron.

“

Hehe...I can't wait to give it to Senpai at lunchtime!

”

— Amai putting the apron under the desk.

“

Okay, Senpai - here it is! An apron that will make you feel cool and stylish!

”

— Amai giving the apron to Senpai.

“

Well? What do you think?
I'm so happy that you liked it!
So, does this make you feel interested in learning how to cook?
Oh, that's wonderful! How about tomorrow? I'll recommend a good dish for a beginner!

”

— Amai if the apron wasn't swapped.

“

Well? What do you...hey, wait...
No. No, wait. Senpai...that's not the apron I made for you...
...I...I don't know. I...can't imagine how the apron I made could have swapped places with another one...
Senpai, I promise I'll find the right apron and get it to you, okay? Please just... forget that mix-up ever happened.

”

— Amai if the apron was swapped.

“

Good morning, Senpai! Ready to learn how to cook?
Don't worry, Senpai! Cooking is easy! All you have to do is follow the recipe!
Here - I picked out a dish that even a beginner should be able to prepare, and wrote down the recipe for you.
I'll be pretty busy today, so I won't be available to help you out...but, trust me - you won't need any help!
Let's meet up at lunchtime so that you can tell me how it turned out!

”

— Senpai and Amai's conversation on Wednesday morning.

“

Hey, Senpai! How did the dish turned out?

”

— Amai asking Senpai how the dish turned out.

“

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that!
That's wonderful news!
See, Senpai? I told you that there was nothing to worry about!
Absolutely! I'll turn you into a five-star chef, Senpai!

”

— Amai if the recipe wasn't sabotaged.

“

...oh...I'm really sorry to hear that...what happened?
Really? That doesn't make any sense. Do you still have the recipe with you?
Let me just take a moment, and... wait. What?! Senpai...this recipe is all wrong!
These are not the correct ingredients or instructions! This...this isn't what I wrote down for you!

”

— Amai if the recipe was sabotaged.

“

So, Senpai, are you still open to the idea of letting me teach you how to cook?
Haha, it's really not that scary at all! Each one of those problems has a solution, you know. For example, if you're worried about open flames, you could use an induction cooktop! Those can't burn you!
Yeah, there are plenty of reasons! For example, some cooking techniques require quick changes in temperature, and that's only possible with a gas stove. I use gas stoves exclusively!
Not at all! Gas stoves has safety features to prevent that sort of thing from happening. For example, there's a sensor that stops the release of gas if there isn't any flame burning.
Besides that, there's an air vent over the stove to let gas escape. As long as that air vent is functioning, there's no way that enough gas could build up to start an explosion.
But, most importantly...before I start using a stove, I *always* check for the smell of gas. I would never ignite a stove if I could smell an obvious gas leak! I would shut it off right away!
More often than you'd think! For example, certain fudge recipes involve boiling water. In fact, I'm going to be cooking some fudge after Cleaning Time today!

”

— Amai and Senpai's conversation before entering the school on Thursday.

“

Senpai! Have you ever been in a picnic?
Not just that - the full picnic experience! Bringing a basket, sitting on a blanket, admiring nature...
Then, let's have a picnic today at lunchtime! We'll eat next to the rose bush nearby the school gym!
Oh, don't worry about that! There's nothing in that area that attracts bugs, so we should be fine!
Oh, I'm so excited! I can't wait for lunchtime!

”

— Senpai and Amai's conversation on Thursday morning.

“

What do you think of the scenery here, Senpai? Isn't it lovely?
The best part is we're far away from anyone else, so there isn't any noise!
Now that we're all settled in, let's eat!
I brought some pastries from my family's bakery! And how about you?
Don't worry, Senpai! You'll get there one day!

”

— Amai if Ayano didn't attract insects.

“

...wait a minute...something's wrong...
I don't understand! There's no reason for a bunch of ants and flies to be here!
Ugh - don't talk about animals and rotting flesh! I'm going to lose my appetite!
...oh, no...these stupid bugs ruined everything...
...this...this was...this was supposed to be fun...

”

— Amai if Ayano attracted insects.

“

...first, we melt the ingredients...
...then, we add the vanilla...transfer it to a pan...smooth it out...
...let it chill in the fridge!
Can't wait to cut it up and serve it tomorrow!

”

— Amai cooking fudge in the Home Ec Room.

“

Hey, Senpai! You're aware that food can be art, right?
Whenever I finish baking a cake, I make a sculpture on top using the icing!
Yeah! I have a Saikougram account where I post all of my cake art!
Well, I don't mean to brag, but...recently, I reached ten thousand followers!
Okay - but first, I need to put the finishing touches on my latest masterpiece in the Home Ec room!

”

— Senpai and Amai's conversation on Friday morning.

“

...just have to add the finishing touches, aaaaand...
Done! Oh, I'm so happy with how it turned out!
I hope my followers will love it!

”

— Amai finishing her cake.

“

...I'm...s-sorry to trouble you, Senpai...
...I asked you to come here because...there's something...I want to say...
...over the past few years...I've been so busy helping my mom and dad with their bakery...
...I never had any time for...dating, or...anything like that...
...I even started to worry that I'd go my entire life without ever experiencing romance...
...but...recently...I've been developing feelings for someone...
...haha...you still haven't figured it out yet...?...
...you know...when I first met you, at that bus stop...
...you actually made me feel pretty upset! ...do you want to know why...?...
...you were sad because of a girl...which means that you really cared about her a lot...
...I've always wanted someone to care about me in the same way that you cared about her...
...so...I started...trying to make my way into your heart...
...I want you to care about me, because...
...I've fallen deeply in love with you, Senpai!

”

— Amai confessing to Senpai.

“

...hey...you mean it, right...?...you're not just...you're not just saying that, right...?
You're telling the truth, right?!
...I...I...oh...I've never been...so happy...
...oh, Senpai...please...let's stay together...forever...

”

— Amai getting accepted.

“

...n...no...
...is this...because of all the things that went wrong this week...?
...Senpai, I...I know I screwed up, but...
...if...if you give me another chance, I can...
...S...Senpai...no...please...wait...

”

— Amai getting rejected.

“

I'm so sorry...I'm busy with my bake sale right now. Maybe later?

”

— Attempting to have Amai follow Ayano if she's working on her bake sale.

As a Cooking Club Leader

“

...(sigh)...what a shame...
...it's so sad that things turned out like this...
...could this have been avoided somehow...?...
...well...can't afford to spend any time dwelling on it...
I guess I'll be baking in the Home Ec room from now on...

”

— Amai sulking if the Cooking Club disbands.

“

Oh, hello there! Did you want to talk with me about the Cooking Club?

”

— Speaking to her while she's inside the clubroom, Home Ec Room, or in a bake sale.

“

Bye bye for now! Hope to see you later!

”

— Leaving the conversation while she's inside the clubroom, Home Ec Room, or in a bake sale.

“

We're the Cooking Club - we love food! Some of us are committed to eating healthy, while others are in pursuit of the world's most delicious treats. We have a broad range of interests - and appetites!
Above all else, we love preparing food for others to enjoy. There's nothing more satisfying than watching people chow down on a meal that you just put together for them!
We have enough ingredients here to prepare just about any meal you can imagine! And, if you join our club, you'll have unrestricted access to all of it!

”

— Asking Amai for information about her club.

“

Oh! Are you interested in joining our club?

”

— Asking to join the club.

“

How wonderful! You are now an official member of the Cooking Club! I hope you enjoy your time with us!

”

— Joining the club.

“

Aww, that's okay. I understand! Choosing a club is a big decision, after all. If you ever change your mind, we'll be right here!

”

— Refusing to join the club.

“

Uh-oh...is something wrong? Do you need to...leave our club?

”

— Asking to leave.

“

Oh, no...Is that really how you feel? I'm so sorry to hear that...but...I understand. I'm sad to see you go, but I wish you the best of luck in the future!

”

— Leaving the club.

“

Phew! For a second there, I was afraid you were about to leave us! I'm so glad you're going to stay!

”

— Refusing to leave.

“

We're all going to get together between 5:00 and 5:30 to prepare a yummy meal! I really hope that we'll see you there!

”

— Trying to join the club activity before it starts.

“

It's so good to see you! We're about to begin cooking a meal! Would you like to join us?

”

— Asking to join the club activity.

“

Yay! Let's get started right away!

”

— Participating in the club activity.

“

Oh! Um, okay! We'll wait for you, but...we can't wait any longer than 5:30, alright...?

”

— Refusing to join the club activity.

“

Oh, dear...I'm so sorry! We already finished the meal that we were preparing! Um, next time, please try to join us before 5:30, okay...?

”

— Trying to join the club activity after it ends.

“

...I'm so sorry...it's kinda hard to consider letting you join the club again, since...you might just leave us again. That would be really sad, so...we just...can't let you back in...again, I'm sorry.

”

— Trying to rejoin the club after leaving.

“

Oh, gosh! Um, I know this isn't what you'd like to hear, but you can't be a member of two clubs at the same time, if you want to join us, you'd have to quit your current club. I'm sorry about that!

”

— Trying to to join the club when Ayano is already a member of another club.

“

...um...it's...not really easy to find the right words to say this...but...well...you're just...not a good fit for our club, and...I...have to ask you to leave...I'm very sorry...please don't take offense...

”

— Speaking to her after a Cooking Club member saw you connected to a murder.

“

...oh, gosh...this is...really awkward...um...okay, so...one of my clubmembers...well...I'm sorry but, they have a big problem with you, so...I can't let you join the club. I'm sorry...I'm very sorry!

”

— Trying to join after a member of the Cooking Club saw Ayano committing murder.

“

...y...you killed someone. Are you just...trying to pretend that it didn't happen?! I saw it. I...saw...it. I can't just...forget that. Look...I don't want to make a scene, so...please...leave. Just...leave.

”

— Speaking to her after she has witnessed Ayano commit murder.

Cutscenes

“

Um...excuse me...
I couldn't help but notice that you seem quite sad about something. Would you...like to talk about it?
Oh! I'm sorry! My name is Amai Odayaka. We go to the same school.
I'm sorry if it's strange that I approached you so suddenly. When I see a sad face, I can't help but try to make things better.
So, what's wrong?
O-oh...I...I'm so sorry to hear about that...I...I can't imagine what that must be like...
Hey...it's not much, but...maybe this will take your mind off of it for a moment?
Go ahead, take one!
Of course! Nobody makes better pastries than my mom and dad!
Actually, I'm heading to my parents' bakery right now. Would you like to come with me? It'll take your mind off things for a while!
It wouldn't be a bother at all! If I just leave you here, I'll worry about you!
Then let's get going!

”

— Amai talking to Senpai on Saturday.

“

Are you serious?!
That's smoking gun evidence!
I knew it! I was right about them all along!
You got it! I'll be there bright and early! Thank you so much!

”

— Amai surprised that Ayano found evidence.

“

Oh my gosh, your house is so cute, Yan-Chan!
Do you live alone?
Ooh, so you have the place all to yourself, huh? Lucky!
I don't think I can possibly express how grateful I am to you for investigating that bakery!
How did you actually manage to get those receipts?! Did you search through their garbage, or...
...did you...actually...break in...and...
...um...on second thought...don't tell me. I...don't think I want to know.
I can't believe there are actually people in this world who are so evil, they'd be willing to do absolutely anything to stop their competition!
I mean, could you actually imagine considering someone your "rival" and doing everything in your power to "eliminate" them?
If those people keep sabotaging my parents' bakery, they'll eventually drive us out of business...
I've been worrying myself to death about our future...but, it looks like it's all in the past now!
That should put a stop to them once and for all!
It might sound like I'm exaggerating, but I mean it when I say this:
You saved my family's bakery! I can't thank you enough!
Thank you very much!
Oh, gosh - I've been talking so much that I haven't given you a chance to say anything! Sorry about that!
Is there anything in particular that you wanted to talk about?

”

— Ayano and Amai's conversation at Ayano's house before school.

“

Huh?! ...oh, wow...that was, uh...certainly the last thing I expected to hear you say...
...well...I guess I can't deny it...there IS someone who I've been developing strong feelings for...
...but...what did you want to say to him...?...
...oh...oh, gosh...
...I...definitely didn't expect this...um...
...well...even though I care about that boy a lot...
...I would never want to break your heart...
...especially after everything you've done to save my parents' bakery...
...(sigh)...okay...I'll...I'll stay away from him.
Just...promise me that you're going to treat him well, okay?

”

— Amai during the final phase of the Befriending elimination method.

“

...huh...?...oh...wow...that was...
...wait...something is...wrong...why do I feel so...
...Yan-chan...did you...

”

— After being served drugged tea as part of the Betrayal Method.

“

...huh...?!...am...am I...tied to a chair...?!...no...no, this can't be happening...Yan-chan?! Yan-chan, did you do this?! Why?! Please, let me go...let me go!

”

— After Ayano betrays Amai.
