Hanamaru Ep. 31: Things Are Peaceful Next to You
You head over to Hanamaru's house and decide to join her in reading the book she's picked out to show on the live stream.
Player
Your house is still a bookworm's paradise, isn't it, Hanamaru? Did you choose that book you introduced on the live stream from this room?
Hanamaru
Yeah. I really wasn't sure which one to go with, but I eventually chose this one, zura.
Player
It must be a really good book if you chose it. Still, I can't quite believe you were able to choose one out of all these books… Oh?
Player
Hey, Hanamaru. You said this book was really fun before, didn't you?
Hanamaru
I did. It's one of my favorites, zura.
Player
I've been interested in that book for a long time now. I tried looking for it in the school library, but it doesn't seem like they have it.
Hanamaru
Then why don't you have it for today?
Player
Oh, are you sure?
Hanamaru
Sure. I've been thinking about going over the book I introduced on stream again, anyway.
Player
Thanks, Hanamaru!
[Fade in/out.]
Hanamaru

Hanamaru
…U-Umm.
Player
Hm?
Hanamaru
Are you…enjoying it, zura?
Player
I am! You weren't kidding about this book.
Hanamaru
Oh, well, that's good…
Player
Is something wrong?
Hanamaru
Well…I know this is gonna sound odd, but I ever since I gave you that book, you haven't been chatting to me, and I was wandering if you were finding the book boring…
| Option 1: “It's calming being next to you.” |
|---|
| Player Not at all. Anyone would go quiet when reading a book, right? It's just that having you by the side is calming. That's why I can blissfully read my book. Hanamaru Really? If that's the case, then I'm glad to know I'm helping, zura. |
| Option 2: “I also like silently enjoying your company.” |
| Player That's not the case at all. I love chatting to you, but I also like silently enjoying your company as well. Hanamaru Is that right? That's kinda embarrassing to hear, zura… But thank you. |
Player
If anything, I thought you'd find it boring silently being around me. Am I wrong?
Hanamaru
Of course you're wrong, zura! I don't need to chat to you to enjoy your company, zura!
Player
Aww, thanks, Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Oh, now my heart's pounding and my face is feeling all flushed, zura.
Player
*Laugh* How about we take a quick break for some snacks?
Hanamaru
Oh, snacks, zura! Do you mind if we open those cookies you brought along?
Player
Not at all. I thought you'd like them, after all. Feel free to help yourself.
