Maki Ep. 12: Maki's Frustrations
Maki's solo live show is a huge success, but she appears to look a little down. The next day, you find Maki in the clubroom carefully reading through a magazine.
Maki
A matching item with her, huh? But I guess there's no point unless I buy it with my own money.
Player
Well done on your live show, Maki!
Maki
Eek! Wh-What's the big idea, creeping up on me?!
Player
Sorry, did I scare you?
Player
What's that you're reading? A school idol magazine?
Maki
Oh. N-No. This is, um…
Player
Is this a guide for part-time job listings? You're reading this?!
Maki
D-Don't look! Besides, there's nothing wrong with me reading something like this.
Player
Are you planning on getting a part-time job?
Maki
Yeah. I guess it'll be like I'm learning about the world.
Player
Wow, I had no idea!
Maki
That's not it, though!
Player
Huhhh?! What do you mean?
Maki
What I'm saying is that it's pointless to have money unless you've earned it yourself. An allowance isn't the same.
Player
I see…
| Option 1: “You must be thinking about the future then.” |
|---|
| Player You really are thinking about the future then. You're looking ahead more than I am. Maki I mean, I guess you could say that. |
| Option 2: “You need your own money for something?” |
| Player You need your own money for something? I can't picture you working a part-time job, though. Maki There's nothing wrong with that. Leave me alone, okay? |
Maki
Can we change the subject now? I actually wanna do some shopping before I go home today. Could you come with me?
Player
Yeah, for sure!
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
I wonder what kinds of things she likes? I gotta pick out something we could own a matching pair of.
Player
Oh, look! That tote bag with the music note pattern on it is adorable! I wish I had that!
Maki
Really? That's not bad! So that's the kind of stuff you like, huh?
Player
I've still got some allowance money left over, so maybe I'll go ahead and splurge.
Maki
N-No! What are you thinking?!
Player
Huhhh? Why?!
Maki
It doesn't matter! Come on, let's get going!
Maki
I'm telling you this now. Don't you dare buy that bag.
Player
And she's gone. I wonder what's gotten into her? She was acting kinda strange today.
Player
(Maki didn't seem very happy, even after the success of her solo live show. I'm a little worried about her.)
