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!
