Maki Ep. 15: What Maki Wants
Maki has successfully finished her tenure at her first part-time job and heads for the shopping mall with you in tow. What is it that she wants?
Player
Club finished a bit earlier than I thought it would. What should I do now?
Player
Huh? Is that who I think it is?
[Fade in/out.]
Maki
Hello.
Player
Hi, Maki! Did you come to see everyone? I think they should still be in the clubroom right now, so I can show you to it—
Maki
No. I came to see you.
Player
Me?
Maki
Come on, let's go.
Player
Wh-What?! Where are we…
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Oh, the tote bags with the music note pattern! There's still some left. They really are super cute.
Maki
Yes. That's what we're here to buy.
Player
Huh? You wanted one of these bags, Maki? Well, they are really cute.
Maki
N-Not just me! They're for both of us!
Maki
Remember I had that part-time job a while ago? It was so I could buy two of these bags.
Player
What?! H-How come?!
Maki
You don't need to look so shocked!
Player
But those are your hard-earned wages from your part-time job, Maki. It's fine for you to buy one for yourself, but you really don't need to buy one for me—
Maki
I…wanted us to match.
Player
You wanted to match with me? Why?
Maki
Isn't it obvious?! Because I wanted to show everyone that we're friends!
Maki
If we have matching bags, then…it's like a token of our friendship.
Player
Matching is a token of friendship…
Maki
I was jealous of how you and Ayumu have matching pens. Then I thought maybe if you and I became friends, we could get matching things as well…
Player
You cared that much about it, Maki?
| Option 1: “I did think you were acting unusual.” |
|---|
| Player I thought you'd been acting unusual ever since your solo show… I was worried about you. Maki It was because I was thinking hard about how to become your friend. Was I acting that strange? |
| Option 2: “You should have said so earlier!” |
| Player You should have said so earlier! Maki Th-That's easy for you to say! It took time to gather the courage. |
Maki
Anyway, this probably means you aren't interested…right?
Player
As if! I'm happy as can be to know that's how you feel. It's just…
Maki
Just…what?
Player
It's just that I've thought of you as a close friend of mine for a really long time now.
Maki
Y-You have?!
Player
Of course! Couldn't you tell?
Maki
How was I supposed to tell?! You should say something that important right away!
Player
I-I didn't know I was supposed to.
Maki
*Sigh* Now I'm exhausted. So that's what was going on.
Maki
We both wanted to be friends… I wasn't the only one.
Maki
Honestly. There's never a dull moment when I'm with you.
Player
I guess so… Sorry.
Maki
Hey, don't apologize! That's definitely not a bad thing. Anyway, let's go and buy our bags!
Player
Okay!
