Hanamaru #416: I'll Show You Around My Home, Zura
Player
Going really makes me feel like I need to be at my best. Being here is practically drawing me into perfect posture.
Hanamaru
*Giggle* I hear that a lot, zura.
Player
Is it the same for you too, Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
Hmm. When I'm in front of the Buddha, I do feel like I have to do things properly.
Hanamaru
But I've lived here since I was little. I don't think of it as special. It's just a part of my everyday life.
Player
I see.
Hanamaru
On warm days, I sit out on the veranda and take my time reading a book, zura.
Player
Reading on the veranda, huh? That sounds nice.
| Option 1: “What have you been reading lately?” |
|---|
| Player Hanamaru, what have you been reading lately? Hanamaru Lately it's this, zura. Player Is that…a book about shrines? Hanamaru Yeah. Right now I'm learning a lot, zura. I think I'll ask Nozomi about it next time we meet. Player True, Nozomi does help out at a shrine. Hanamaru Yup. I'm sure she'll tell me about stuff I don't know, so I'm really excited! I'mma so curious I can hardly stand it, zura! Hanamaru Oh… I said “I'mma.” Player *Giggle* You're such a diligent scholar. Hanamaru No, I'm not. I just get really into the things I like, zura. Player I see. I'm the exact same with school idols. Hanamaru Yup. You get it. |
| Option 2: “I wanna bask in the sun too.” |
| Player I wanna bask in the sun too! I bet that feels wonderful. Hanamaru Then you should come over again before summer, zura. The sunshine does feel wonderful. Hanamaru At this time of year, it's still a bit cold. Your bottom would freeze, zura. Player I suppose that's true. |
Hanamaru
Okay, that about wraps up our tour of the temple. Let's relax in my room, zura.
Player
Yeah!
Hanamaru
For snacks, I bought some of my favorite bread. Are you okay with that?
Player
Of course. I'd love some, actually!
Hanamaru
Yay!
Player
Your room, huh? I'm excited to see what books you have.
Hanamaru
I don't really have anything all that unusual, though.
Player
But come on, don't they say that you can tell a lot about a person by what's on their bookshelves? I thought maybe I could get to know you better.
Hanamaru
That's true. You could definitely say that someone's books show what their mind is like, zura. Thinking about it that way… Oh!
Player
Hm? What's wrong, Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
I'mma really…really embarrassed at the idea of you seeing all of me, zura!
