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!
