Hanamaru Ep. 34: Around and Around We Go
You and Hanamaru have come to an amusement park in search of ideas for the next live show. After a day full of fun, you decide to ride the merry-go-round at Hanamaru's request.
Hanamaru
We've arrived at the amusement park, zura!
Player
Let's have a blast together today! Oh, and let's think about the live show too, of course!
Hanamaru
Yeah. Everyone else is trying to come up with ideas for what direction we should go with the next show, after all.
Player
Since we're trying to make the live show as lively as a festival, I'm sure we'll find some inspiration in this bustling amusement park.
Hanamaru
I'm gonna try my best to take some awesome ideas home, zura!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Oh, it's late already… Any souvenirs you forgot to buy or last rides you want to go on, Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
I'm okay, zura. I've bought enough for everyone. Thanks for bringing me today.
| Option 1: “I'm not sure if it was helpful…” |
|---|
| Player You're welcome. Was today helpful to you? It felt kind of like we just ended up hanging out like always… Hanamaru Of course it was! I came up with an idea for the live show thanks to you! I never would've had the idea to come here to begin with. |
| Option 2: “I wanted to hang out with you.” |
| Player I should be the one thanking you. I had so much fun coming here with you! I just hope I was of some help to you… Hanamaru Of course you were! Thanks to you, I came up with an idea for the live show. I'm so glad we came together! |
Player
Well, that's great. This was a lot of fun. I don't want to say goodbye, but I suppose we should get going home…
Hanamaru
Oh, wait up. There's one last ride I'd like to go on, if you don't mind?
[Fade in/out.]
Hanamaru
Wow, this is lovely! It's so sparkly, zura!
Player
We never did go on the merry-go-round, did we? The lighting really shines in the dark. It's almost magical.
Hanamaru
I wanted to take a ride on it with you. I'm glad I remembered before we went home, zura.
Hanamaru
…Actually, I read a book that had a scene like this in it.
Player
What book was that?
Hanamaru
It's a coming-of-age story about a girl who travels to the city to make her dreams come true. Along the way she ends up targeted by some bad people.
Hanamaru
But a prince comes to rescue her, and they escape together on a white horse. I thought it's kind of like that scene.
Player
A white horse… Oh, the wooden horse I'm riding right now is white too. I guess we could've replicated the scene better if there was room for two on here.
Hanamaru
This is good enough, zura. Seeing you ride on that white horse makes it feel like I'm the main character of that story.
Player
Huh? You mean I'm your prince? You're making me blush. I'm not cut out for that.
Player
But you always come running whenever I'm in a bind! Although I'm not sure if you pull it off with the same style that the prince does.
Hanamaru
Actually, both sides of you are lovely. Both your cool and cute side and the side of you that messes up and gets flustered…I love them both!
Hanamaru
That's why I want to help you too. There isn't much I can do, but…I'm sure I'll come in handy somehow.
Player
I can solve any problem when you show up, Hanamaru. I become so much more powerful when by the side of the city's premier diva!
Hanamaru
D-Diva?! That's embarrassing, zura! I'm not that good! I'm just a regular commoner, zura!
Player
Well, I'm not a prince either! But together we can do anything. We might not have a white horse, but we know how to get around on foot!
Hanamaru
Yeah! Let's keep on walking together, wherever we may go!
