Hanamaru #230: Exhilarated Spirit
Hanamaru
Whoooa! Every inch of this place is shiny and sparkly. Arcades always feel like stepping into a portal to the future, zura!
Player
You all right, Hanamaru? This place is really noisy, so I hope it isn't too overwhelming for you.
Hanamaru
I'm all right. Thanks for asking. I go to arcades with Aqours sometimes, so it's not my first time, zura.
Hanamaru
I was really looking forward to hanging out with you today. There are so many places I wanna go with you, zura!
Player
Same here. Let's pack this day with lots of fun!
Hanamaru
Yeah!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Almost, almost… Yeah! We got the potato chips!
Hanamaru
Wow! You got it on your first try, zura! You're so good at crane games.
Player
I was just lucky. Besides, you got that stuffed animal earlier, too.
Hanamaru
Yeah, but it took me ten whole tries to get it, zura…
| Option 1: “You mean ONLY ten tries!” |
|---|
| Player That doesn't change the fact that you won it. Heck, I'd say getting it in ONLY ten tries is pretty fantastic, actually! Hanamaru Thanks! It was worth every try it took, zura! |
| Option 2: “You were really into it.” |
| Player It was hard to get a grip on, so that's kinda what I expected. I was surprised you got so into it. Hanamaru It was just the cutest thing I'd ever seen! I would've played the game twenty times if I had to, zura! |
Player
What game should we play next?
Hanamaru
There are so many that it's hard to choose, zura. Oh, what's that one over there?
Player
Huh? Oh, that's a racing game. You get to drive a car in a race. Wanna try?
Hanamaru
A car?! I-I've never driven a car before, zura. I don't even have my license yet.
Player
Haha, you don't need a license to play this. Though I've never driven before either, so I'd be about as good as you. You wanna pick a different game?
Hanamaru
Oh! That game over there! I've seen it before!
Player
A rhythm game, huh? All right, let's give this a try. A music game is perfect for us!
Hanamaru
Yeah! I'll do my best, zura!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
I'll just choose the game mode and song, and… It's ready, Hanamaru! Game on!
Hanamaru
Hah! Oof! Waaah! It's so fast, zura! Okay, I press here, and then here…!
Player
Aaaah! It's so fast! Oops, wrong button!
Hanamaru
Hehehe! Still, this is a lot of fun, zura! I love letting my body feel the music, zura!
[Fade in/out.]
Hanamaru
Yaaay! I got a full combo, zura!
Player
Wow, your sense of rhythm is perfect! School idols are no joke. I was doing just fine 'til the halfway point too… Man, this sucks!
Hanamaru
Then let's play it one more time, zura! I want another go at it too!
Player
Heh, sounds like you're pretty hooked.
Hanamaru
Oh, I-I'm sorry. I was getting so excited without even thinking about you. I'm so embarrassed, zura.
Player
Oh, don't worry about it. It makes me happy to see you having fun. Was it like this when you came here with Aqours?
Hanamaru
Yeah, but today's special, zura. When I know you're next to me, it makes me feel so giddy. Everything feels so much more fun.
Player
Aww, Hanamaru, I didn't know you felt that way. Everything we do together feels special to me too, Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
Really? Teehee, thanks!
Player
So, you wanna join me for one more song? I know I said everything feels special, but I wanna make this last one count!
Hanamaru
Of course! Start the second song, zura!
