Nozomi #367: Who's Toying with Whom?
Player
Huh? Where'd Nozomi go? She was right there until just a moment ago. I guess I'll have to call—
Nozomi
Boo!
Player
Gah! Geez, Nozomi! Don't hide your presence and sneak up on me like that… Also, don't disappear without saying anything.
Nozomi
Did you really feel that lonely without me around? I had no idea. Please forgive me.
Player
It wasn't that I was lonely, I was worried! Geez, you've been going all over the place this whole time. Aren't you supposed to be choosing clothes for Karin's party?
Nozomi
Of course I am. But I don't know where the good stuff is, you know? That's why I'm looking all over.
Player
You were checking out a store that sells glasses just now, weren't you?
Nozomi
Glasses make pretty fashionable accessories themselves, you know? Do you prefer me with or without glasses?
Player
Hmm, let me think… Wait, no! You're supposed to be buying clothes today, not accessories! Right? Clothes!
Nozomi
Whaaat? But if you stop me there then it'll just keep bugging me! I won't be able to do any shopping! I'll be stuck here because it'll be the only thing I can think of!
Player
Oh Nozomiiii… Fine, I'll answer your question. Um, so…uh, b-both ways…
Nozomi
Huh? What did you say? I won't know what you're saying unless you speak up.
Player
I SAID! I LIKE BOTH LOOKS ON YOU!
Player
Ack! Nooooo! All of the other shoppers are laughing at me! I'm mortified!
Nozomi
Your voice was just a tad too loud.
Player
You were the one who told me to speak up!
Nozomi
I'm sorry! It's just that the sight of you makes me want to tease you.
Nozomi
But I think I pushed it too far this time. I'll treat you to lunch to apologize, okay? Ice cream, crepes, whatever you want. Just let me know and it's on me.
Player
That's not lunch, that's dessert!
[Fade in/out.]
Nozomi
*Munch* *Munch* Mm-mm! This ice cream is so good! The rich vanilla flavor goes perfectly with the sweet and tart strawberry sauce. What flavor's your ice cream again?
Player
I got chocolate cookies and cream. There are nice, big chunks of cookie in here so it's really satisfying to munch into it. I feel like this alone might really end up being my lunch.
Player
Ooh! I just scooped up the biggest-looking chunk of cookie! *Giggle* Down the ha—
Nozomi
*Chomp*
Player
Huh? Heeey! Nozomi!
Nozomi
*Munch* Munch* Oh yeah, this is TASTY! You're right. This sure is enough to fill you up.
| Option 1: “I would've given you some if you'd just asked.” |
|---|
| Player Come on! I would've given you some if you'd just asked me properly. Nozomi You'd give me some? Aww, then I shouldn't have done that. Now I've wrecked my big chance. One more time, please! |
| Option 2: “That was my chunk of cookie…” |
| Player Aww, that was my chunk of cookie… Nozomi You just made it look so tasty with every bite. I couldn't help myself. I'll give you a spoonful of mine so we can call it even. This has the most strawberry in it. Open up! |
Player
Huh? No, uh, that'd be really e-embarrassing. There are so many people around…
Nozomi
You'd be fine if there weren't so many people around?
Player
Well that's not what I… Actually, I guess that is what I mean.
Nozomi
What?! I thought you'd be fighting tooth and nail against me feeding you.
Player
I suppose there's no real reason to be embarrassed if there's no one around watching. Huh? Nozomi? Why are you backing off all of a sudden?
Nozomi
I got some ice cream on my clothes so I was just gonna wipe it off.
Player
Your ears are all red.
Nozomi
Argh! You're supposed to not say anything if you notice that kind of thing!
