Hanayo #500: A Fun and Tasty Summer Festival
Player
Look at this crowd. We could get separated if we aren't careful. Festivals are always so lively.
Hanayo
It's the biggest event of the summer, after all. My classmates were looking forward to it too. We might see them here somewhere.
Player
Oh really? Maybe I should think about how to introduce myself, then. Pleased to meet you, I'm Hanayo's… Um…
Hanayo
Hm? You're my…what?
Player
Supporter of her school idol activities? That sounds kind of stuck-up. I'm a fan of hers? Hmm, that's kinda impersonal…
Hanayo
Wh-What about just “friend”?
Player
Oh right! I'm Hanayo's friend. Nice to meet you. How was that?
Hanayo
*Giggle* Perfect!
Hanayo
Should I think of a greeting too, just in case we see someone from Nijigasaki?
Player
Leave your introduction to me! Her singing voice is soothing and has healing powers! She's a member of the super-famous school idol group μ's, and her warm-hearted smile is—
Hanayo
Aaahhh! Y-Y-You don't have to say that much!
[Fade in/out.]
Hanayo
*Huff* *Munch* *Huff* This okonomiyaki is delicious! I'm so happy!
| Option 1: “It's all gone.” |

| Player *Munch* Huh? It's all gone now. I kinda feel hungrier than I usually am. Maybe I'm just excited about the festival. Hanayo I do think food tastes better when you're enjoying yourself. Let's try some other foods together! We haven't tried the cotton candy, crepes, or shaved ice yet. |
| Option 2: “We've eaten a lot of food.” |
| Player We've had takoyaki, grilled squid, buttered potatoes, sausages, fried chicken, okonomiyaki… What else did we eat? We've eaten a lot of food. Hanayo We have. We've been eating a lot of salty foods especially, so do you want to try something sweet next? |
Player
Oh, then what about shaved ice? It'll cleanse our palates, too. But I think we already passed that stall.
Player
We'll have to go back a little way, Hanayo—whoa! That kid startled me. They've got a lot of energy to run around like that. Oops! Excuse me! Are you all right?
Player
I feel like it's suddenly gotten more crowded now. Is something happening?
Hanayo
Wait! Don't leave me!
Player
Ahh!
Hanayo
Oh, s-sorry! I didn't mean to pull you like that.
Player
I'm fine, don't worry about it. Sorry that I fell into you. Are you hurt?
Hanayo
No, I'm okay—oh no! Your hem got stretched out! I-I'm really sorry…
Hanayo
I saw a sudden rush of people and it looked like I was gonna lose sight of you, so I instinctively grabbed you to stop us from getting separated…
Player
Thanks for hanging onto me. The sudden crowd surge was pretty startling. I wonder what prompted it.
Hanayo
I think everyone is going to see the mikoshi shrine. I caught a glimpse of it a while ago.
Player
Wow, a mikoshi shrine! Wanna go see it with me, Hanayo?
Hanayo
I sure do!
Player
Great! Then…let's hold hands from now on. It's crowded here.
Hanayo
That'd be nice. I don't want to get separated from you, either.
Hanayo
Hang onto me for as long as you can, okay?
