Ruby #72: Dreamy Sweet Potato Tarts
Ruby
Wow.
Player
Ruby, what are you reading? A magazine? Huh, that's surprising. You're really absorbed in something other than the school idol page.
Ruby
Y-Yeah. I just couldn't pull my eyes away.
Player
Let's see. “The Perfect Sweet Potato Tarts from a Veteran Sweets Shop.” Huh. Wow, this looks really tasty!
Ruby
This shop's sweet potato tarts are really famous. It's been at the top of my sweet potato tart ranking for a really long time!
Player
Oh yeah, you really liked those tarts, huh? Though I didn't know you checked stores enough to rank them.
| Option 1: “So, what's the taste like?” |
|---|
| Player Can you tell me what those tarts taste like? Ruby I don't know, I…haven't had them. I've just seen them praised in magazines and on TV a bunch. |
| Option 2: “I want to try some myself.” |
| Player If they're that famous, I'd like to try some myself. Ruby Yeah. I want to have at least a taste, myself. |
Player
Say, could that sweet potato tart ranking of yours be…
Ruby
They're rankings of the ones I want to try.
Player
Oh, I get it.
Player
Don't those stores usually set up shop at events and stuff? I'll look into it, they might be surprisingly close.
Ruby
Really? I wonder. I mean, I'd be so happy if they set up a little stand around Numazu Station.
Player
They just might. Hold on a bit. …Oh! Wow! Hey, Ruby!
Player
I looked at their website just now, but it turns out they'll be in the sweets fair in the Numazu Station Shopping Center! Starting tomorrow!
Ruby
Huh? What?!
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
Uwahhh!
Player
You finally bought it! The top-ranked sweet potato tart of your dreams! There was such a long line I was worried they would be sold out before we got our turn, but…
Player
I nearly jumped for joy when we finally got them!
Ruby
This isn't a dream! THE sweet potato tarts are right in front of us!
Player
*Giggle* Well, how about we help ourselves, then?
Ruby
Y-Yeah.
Ruby
Er. S-Sorry, here I go! Om.
Player
Why the apology?
Ruby
Om, nom. Mm!
Ruby
Mmm, mmm!
Player
Om, nom, mm! Whoa, this is super good!
Ruby
The gentle sweetness of the potato, the soft texture. Ahh, it's just so good! It's SO good!
Player
Ruby, are you crying?!
Ruby
It's so good to be alive. Oh, thank you, God. Just having a bite of this treat, I can live a hundred more years!
Player
You know, I'm really glad you seem so happy, Ruby.
Ruby
Om, nom, mmm! Sooo goooood!
