Hanamaru Ep. 20: Holding Support Close to My Heart

You head over to the venue with the members of AZALEA. As you all try to calm each other's nerves, an unexpected guest shows up.

Kanan

We should finally be at the live show venue if we keep going straight down this street.

Hanamaru

It's a massive venue. I wonder how many people will come to watch us…

Player

I'm sure there'll be tons of people! There are lots of comments online about how they're looking forward to it. Gosh, I'm so nervous! I'm always like this on the big day!

Kanan

Whoa, are you okay? All the blood's drained from your face.

Dia

Shall we have a little rest, then? I will go and buy you something warm to drink.

Player

No! We can't do that! We'll be late for the live show if we stop now!

Hanamaru

We set out with some extra time on our hands so it'll be fine, zura.

Player

I-I'm sorry. I said that I'd support you with all I've got, but look at what a mess I am. Just the thought of seeing AZALEA perform live makes my heart race.

Hanamaru

There, there. Let's make all of that nervous energy go awaaay! Go awaaay!

Hanamaru

Eep…

Player

(Hanamaru's hands…are shaking. But of course they are. These girls are the ones who are the most nervous right now. I need to be strong for them!)

Player

Thank you and sorry for making you worry. I'm fine now!

Kanan

Ooh, she's back in action. Your pats are so effective, Hanamaru. Maybe I'll get in on some of that.

Dia

I would like some myself.

Hanamaru

Whaaat?! Th-Then I want you two to pat me as well, zura!

Kanan, Dia

*Pat* *Pat* *Pat*

Hanamaru

Aaahhhhhh!

Player

*Giggle* …Huh?

Hanamaru

What's up?

Player

I thought I heard someone call out to me…

[Fade in/out.]

Shizuku

Preeez! Hanamaru! Dia! Kanaaan!

[Fade in/out.]

Kanan, Hanamaru, Dia

Shizuku?!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

What's all this?! What are you doing here, Shizuku?!

Shizuku

I'm here to watch AZALEA's live show, of course! All of us from the Theater Club are here to watch Hanamaru shine on stage!

Hanamaru

Everyone in the Theater Club?!

Option 1: “Every single member is here? That's incredible.”

Player

Every single member is here? That's incredible! I'm sure you guys will stand out in the audience.

Hanamaru

When you say “everyone,” that means the club president, the girl in charge of lighting, the makeup artist, the girl in art and design… They're all here, zura?!

Option 2: “You're pretty popular, Hanamaru.”

Player

Come to think of it… Shizuku did mention that your popularity's gone sky-high in the Theater Club ever since you performed with them.

Hanamaru

R-Really? That's news to me, zura!

Shizuku

She's right! Everyone's smitten with your kind personality and how you strive in earnest, no matter how hard practice might be.

Shizuku

When I told everyone about today's live show, they all said they wanted to come and watch. We even brought light sticks in AZALEA colors to cheer you on with all our might!

Hanamaru

Wooow! Th-Thank you, zura!

Kanan

Now we really have to put on a great performance!

Dia

Indeed. We must live up to all of this enthusiasm!

Player

Of course! Let's give it our all, Hanamaru!

Hanamaru

For sure! AZALEA's going to put on the best live show ever, so that means you and Shizuku have to watch us closely!
