Mari Ep. 27: How about Living Together?
Having enjoyed yourselves at the shopping mall, you and Mari head to town. While perusing the shops that dot the street, you both indulge in some shopping.
Mari
That shopping mall was great fun, huh?
Player
Yeah. I didn't think I'd get so excited there.
Mari
Let's think of another place to go while we walk! It's nice to have all this time to do these things, isn't it? Let's go!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Oh, check out this grocery store.
Mari
All their fruits look so delicious! You can tell they're fresh and juicy at a glance. Look, the apples are on discount today.
Player
You're right! They're really cheap! That just makes me want to get some.
Mari
Well, why don't we, then? You shouldn't deprive yourself of what you want. Coming across these apples today was our destiny!
Player
*Giggle* Yeah. Guess we should get some.
Mari
I'll cut them up for you when we get 'round to eating them. One apple, two apples, three apples, four apples…
Player
We don't need too many! Not only will it be heavy to carry, we won't be able to finish them all! Mari! Are you even listening?!
[Fade in/out.]
Mari
Wait, wait! Mind if we pop into that drug store real quick?
Mari
I just realized that I totally forgot to bring toothpaste! And I meant to buy some before I came to stay…
Player
That's fine. Is that toothpaste the one you were talking about in your text earlier? You said you switched to a new one.
Mari
Yes! The sweet toothpaste that tastes just like candy! Brushing my teeth became a lot more fun after I switched to that.
Player
Well, if you want to get some today, that supermarket over there would be cheaper. Their flyers say there's a special on.
Mari
Really?! Then, let's go! *Giggle* Maybe forgetting to buy it was the right call, seeing as I can get my favorite product cheaper now.
Player
Maybe! Hey, can I copy you and buy some as well? I've been curious ever since you told me about it.
Mari
Of course! I would be simply delighted for us to be brushing with the same flavor!
[Fade in/out.]
Mari
We went to so many shops today. I had a lot of fun!
Player
Me too. At one point, I almost felt like I was living with you, and we were just going out on a day off. Ah, it's kind of embarrassing when I say it out loud!
Mari
Making that a reality one day wouldn't be a problem, as far as I'm concerned.
| Option 1: “I'll take you seriously, you know?” |
|---|
| Player Geez, Mari…! If you keep going on like that, I'll take you seriously, you know? Mari I guess that's your way of saying you want to hear more, right? Okay, I've got you covered! Living as two, going out as two, I'll make your dream come true! |
| Option 2: “Y-You mean living together?!” |
| Player Wait? Y-You mean living together?! Mari But you know, if we're not living apart, I won't be able to see that cute, nervous face you make when we meet for dates. I'm torn! |
Player
Urgh… Doesn't matter if we live together or not, it's not like my heart would pound any less when I see you either way!
Mari
*Gasp*
Mari
Oh, honestly! You really can be so much more intense than you let on. I wonder if this is some scheme of yours to steal my heart.
Player
*Giggle* You got that right! And just as planned, you're now as red as a cherry!
Mari
Ughhh, as if I stood a chance! I'm not immune to those kinds of sweet words, you know!
