Hanamaru Ep. 2: Library Anthology

As you wait for Hanamaru to check out her books, you and Ruby look at the notice board. Of the many postings, one in particular stands out.

Hanamaru

I'd like to borrow these, please.

Player

One, two, three…ten?! Is she seriously going to borrow all of those?

Ruby

I've seen her buy a whole basket of books at the bookstore.

Player

But these are borrowed books with a return date. Can she even read them all?

Ruby

I think Hanamaru can handle it.

Player

You do? …Hm?

Ruby

What's wrong?

Player

Look at the notice board. There are lots of flyers. There's an event calendar, too.

Ruby

When I was little I joined one of those with my sister.

Player

I remember going to a kids' event when I was little.

Player

A photo contest, disaster education – they have events from all over the town. Hm? Look at this poster.

[Fade in/out.]

Hanamaru

Sorry to keep you waiting! Okay, whoa, this is kind of heavy, zura…

Ruby

Are you all right, Hanamaru? Let me take half of those.

Hanamaru

I don't want to make you do that, zura. I borrowed them, so I'll carry them.

Player

The strap of your bag is digging into your shoulder. You should let me carry a few in my bag.

Hanamaru

Thanks.

[Fade in/out.]

Hanamaru

What were you guys talking about before, zura? Was there anything interesting on the notice board?

Player

Yeah, there was one thing. Take a look.

Hanamaru

An Original Library Anthology…?

Player

They're asking for original stories and poems from library patrons to display in the library. They start accepting entries today.

Hanamaru

Oh, I saw that when I came in, zura. A father and son were talking about doing that together.

Player

What about you?

Hanamaru

What about me?

Ruby

I thought you might be a pretty good writer.

Hanamaru

M-Me?! N-No way, zura!

Player

Oh, okay. I thought you'd be good because you read a lot and know so much stuff.

Hanamaru

Reading and writing are totally different, zura!

Ruby

I'm pretty sure your eyes lit up when you saw this poster, though.

Ruby

It made me think you were interested.

Hanamaru

W-Well…
