Honoka #440: A Sweet Afternoon
Honoka
Come on in! I've been so excited waiting for you to come over to my house and hang out!
Player
Thank you for having me. It's been so long since I've been inside your room, Honoka. Oh, you've gotten more manga.
Honoka
Here's a floor cushion for you to sit on. I've had it out in the sun all day, so it should be nice and warm.
Player
Thanks. Ooh, you're right, it's toasty warm.
Honoka
Umm, so… Uh…
Player
*Giggle* I know. Here! Go on and dig into the cake. This is a gift, after all!
Honoka
Yayyyy!
Honoka
Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is incredible! You bought this many cake slices?!
Honoka
What should I pick? We've got strawberry shortcake, mille-feuille, no-bake cheesecake… Ahh, I can't decide! Which do I eat first?!
| Option 1: “You like strawberries, right?” |
|---|
| Player I think you like strawberries, right? So I went for more of the ones with strawberries. Honoka Now that you mention it, there are strawberries galore! Thank you! But in that case, I'm going to have an even harder time deciding! |
| Option 2: “You can have any of them.” |
| Player Ahaha! You can start with whichever you want. We can take one slice at a time, or even have two slices at once. Honoka Two… Two slices at once?! I… I wanna do that! Time to eat! |

Honoka
Zzz… *Mumble* *Mumble*
Player
Honoka's fast asleep. I guess she did fill up on that cake.
Player
I never expected her to polish everything off, though. She said she ate a good lunch, but maybe it wasn't enough.
Player
But I guess it's good that we ate everything now. The cake box is pretty big, so it might have taken over the fridge. And today's a warm day—
Honoka
Mmm… Yummy… Fluffy sponge… Cream…
Player
*Giggle* Is she even eating cake in her dreams?
Honoka
Mmm…
Player
Wait, what?
[Fade in/out.]
Honoka
*Yaaawn* Huh?
Player
Morning. You slept well.
Honoka
Yeah… Um…
Player
Yes?
Honoka
Why are we…holding hands?
Player
So you really were doing that in your sleep.
Player
Honoka, you grabbed onto my hand in your sleep. Then, just when I thought you'd let go, you grabbed on even tighter and pulled it towards you…
Honoka
What?! I-I did that?! I'm so sorry!
Player
Ahaha. It's fine, it was a little funny. What were you dreaming about, though? Cake?
Honoka
Hmm… I don't really remember. But I feel like you were in my dream.
Honoka
I think maybe I dreamed of…us going to all kinds of fun places together.
Player
Ooh, I see. Do you think we did a tour of a bunch of cake bakeries together?
Honoka
A tour of cake bakeries?! W-Wow, that sounds so fun! *Wail* Why did I have to wake up?!
Player
Ahaha! Then let's go in real life next time instead of your dream. Besides the bakery I got the cakes from today, there are plenty of others I'm curious about.
Honoka
Really?! Let's go! I wanna go! We absolutely have to go on our cake bakery tour!
