Hanamaru Ep. 21: Feeling Out of Sorts
You've planned to go to a lunch buffet with Emma and Hanayo. You decide to invite Hanamaru too, but she doesn't respond when you try to get in contact with her.
Player
Good work with the live show, you two! It was amazing!
Emma
Thank you. We really tried our best during practice, so I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Hanayo
Hearing you say that makes me want to do my best next time too!
Player
So, now that the two of you have finished your live show… It's time! Let's do that congratulatory buffet lunch we've been planning for so long!
Hanayo, Emma
Woo-hoo!
Emma
*Giggle* I've been looking forward to this so much. Let's eat to our heart's content, Hanayo!
Hanayo
Okay, Emma!
Player
To your heart's content, you say… Oh, how about inviting Hanamaru along? I heard earlier that Aqours were supposed to be doing a live show too.
Hanayo
Okay, a congratulatory party for all three of us, then. I want to hang out with Hanamaru!
Emma
When's the live show?
Player
Hmm, I don't think they've done it yet. I'll give her a call, that way I can ask her about the buffet too.
Player
…She's not answering.
Emma
She might be busy. There'll be a lot to prepare for ahead of the live show, so she's probably practicing or maybe sorting out the costumes.
Player
Yeah, you're right… I'll send her a message now.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Here I am at Uranohoshi… Hanamaru hasn't returned my call or messaged me back. Something must have happened to her.
Player
Oh, I totally forgot! I haven't checked to see if Hanamaru is still at school! I'll give her a call. Will she answer this time?
Player
Huh? Do I hear what I think I hear?
???
Y-Yes? Hello?
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Zuraaa! Wh-What's going on? Why are you…
| Option 1: “I heard your ringtone.” |
|---|
| Player I came to see you. Then I decided to give you a call and just happened to hear your ringtone nearby… Hanamaru The call totally spooked me because I was hoping to speak to you too… I'm not dreaming, am I? Player Nope, this is totally real. |
| Option 2: “I'm so glad that you're safe.” |
| Player H-Hanamaru! I'm so glad that you're safe. Hanamaru S-Safe? Of course I'm safe, nothing's going on… |
Hanamaru
Oh! S-Sorry! I got your call and message but never responded…
Hanamaru
I was planning to get back to you way sooner, but I couldn't find a spare moment, leading us to this, zura.
Player
Don't worry about it. You've got a live show to prepare for! Sorry for intruding when you're so busy.
Hanamaru
No… That's not…
Player
(Hanamaru?)
Player
When's your live show again, Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
It's on the Sunday after next, zura.
Player
Oh, that's right. Well, in that case, how about a little outing before your live show? I'm making plans to go for a buffet lunch with Emma and Hanayo.
Player
I know you're probably busy, but would you like to come with us? We'll work with your schedule.
Hanamaru
You want me to join you?
Player
Yeah. If you'd like to.
Hanamaru
…Thank you. I'd love to come with you, zura!
