Hanamaru Ep. 33: The Book Lovers’ Gathering Never Ends
Hanamaru's live stream was a success. Hanamaru is happy after talking her heart out about her favorite books and receiving book recommendations from her viewers.
Hanamaru
I had fun, zura!
Player
Me too! The comment section was going wild the whole time. Your live stream was a huge success.
Hanamaru
Yeah! Before I started this, I had no idea they'd get so pumped, zura.
Player
There were so many comments, we couldn't read them all out… It just means everyone was that happy and excited about being able to talk to you, Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
Everyone was so nice, zura… Even my self-intro was a bit shaky, but they all kept watching instead of just leaving then and there…
Player
I-It wasn't that big of a deal… Everyone stumbles over their words sometimes. If anything, didn't that make you seem more relatable to them?
Hanamaru
Does it really work like that, zura? I hope so…
Player
I'm also glad they took an interest in the books you introduced. I'd like to try reading them too. What IS the artist's real identity…?
Hanamaru
*Giggle* You'll have to find out by reading the book. Experience the shock for yourself, zura!
Player
You're right. You said so during your live stream too. All right, I'll give it a go!
Hanamaru
There you go, then!
| Option 1: “I'll be borrowing it.” |
|---|
| Player Oh, right. You brought it over to introduce it. Well then, I'll be borrowing it! Hanamaru I recommend starting this book before a day off, zura. You might stay up all night reading it! |
| Option 2: “Are you sure?” |
| Player Huh? But you brought it over to introduce it, right? Are you sure you're okay with me borrowing it right here and now? Hanamaru Of course. You gotta strike the iron while it's hot. Read the book while you're motivated to do so, zura! |
Player
*Laugh* All right. Thank you.
Hanamaru
I know! I need to read the books everyone told me about!
Player
You got lots of book recommendations from your viewers. Once someone started, lots of book titles were mentioned one after another…
Hanamaru
There were lots of books I didn't know about, zura. I've seen some of them in the school's library, so I'mma go and look for those!
Player
I'll help you out. Oh, Hanamaru, wait up. I've written the titles down in case you wanted to double-check…
Hanamaru
I'm all good! I've memorized them all, zura!
Player
W-Wow!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Heave, ho… That's all the ones we have in the school library.
Hanamaru
Yeah. I'll have to find the rest at the bookstore or the library, zura. *Giggle* There are so many worlds I didn't know about…!
Player
You must be keen to read too, Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
I got to introduce some books I love, heard everyone's recommendations, and talked a lot about books… I had so much fun, zura.
Player
The second half was full of niche topics. It felt more like a book enthusiast gathering than a school idol's live stream.
Hanamaru
That was the first time I talked so much with my fans about books, so my heart was pounding, zura. I hope I can do it again. Will they turn up next time too…?
Player
I'm sure they will. Let's go ahead and think about when we should do this again.
Hanamaru
Yeah! I need to choose which books to introduce, too. I hope you'll help me out again!
