Why this phrase
Kofuku plays a tourist at the register, Hana plays the cashier holding out the card terminal. The screen offers a friendly home-currency total, but that's dynamic currency conversion: the terminal picks the rate, and it's usually a few percent worse than your bank's. One short line declines it, and the same line works at ATMs.
