Hanamaru Ep. 4: Battle Against Modernity
You and Ruby support Hanamaru's decision to contribute to the anthology, but first she'll have to get over one little problem in writing it.
Ruby
Hello, Hanamaru!
Player
Mind if we come in?
Hanamaru
Welcome! Please, come right in, zura.
Player
The air seems so clear here. I wonder if it's because this is a temple. Temples and shrines always have a holy air about them.
Ruby
The first time I came here, I naturally started to act like my best self.
Hanamaru
Thanks for coming guys. Here, have some tea.
Player
Thank you.
Ruby
Thanks. Mm, so warm and relaxing.
[Fade in/out.]
Hanamaru
*Giggle* I have some sweet buns and crackers, too! Help yourselves, zura!
Player
Those look great! But, hey, before that…
Hanamaru
*Munch* What?
Player
Your cheeks are like a hamster's… E-Er, scratch that. Anyway, there's something you need to do for the library anthology. It's…
Hanamaru
Get my brush and paper ready, zura!
Ruby
A brush and paper? Won't the ink run?
Player
Nope! You have to learn how to use a computer!
Hanamaru
Zura?!
Ruby
I can't believe they only accept word files for entries.
Player
You can set it up to look like writing paper, so I guess you weren't completely wrong.
Hanamaru
Why… Why can't I just use paper, zura?! All the old greats splashed their ideas onto paper with old-fashioned ink!
Player
Writing is just more convenient on a computer. Retyping it would just make more work.
Hanamaru
Ugh… Even still, my house doesn't have any of that futuristic stuff, zura. I've never even really used things like that.
Player
I know, which is why I brought a laptop. It's mine, but you can use it.
Hanamaru
Wh-What?! I couldn't accept something like this, zura.
Player
It's fine. I want to read your novel. Besides, this thing is years old, so don't worry about it.
Ruby
I'll help if I can, too! Let's do our Rubesty, Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Ruby! Okay, I'll become a PC master, zura!
Player
The point isn't to master the computer, but to write a novel. Now, let's power this thing up. Do you know where the power button is?
Hanamaru
The power button. This one!
Player
That's the space bar.
Hanamaru
Zura?!
