Shioriko #752: Moon-Viewing with Princess Kaguya
Shioriko
What a beautiful full moon. I'm glad the sky is so clear.
Player
Yeah. It's been a while since I've gotten to relax and watch the moon like this.
| Option 1: “Thanks for inviting me to watch the moon with you.” |
|---|
| [Fade in/out.] Player Thanks for inviting me to watch the moon with you, Shioriko. Shioriko Oh, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you so much for coming. |
| Option 2: “I'm so lucky I get to watch the moon in this lovely place.” |
| [Fade in/out.] Player I'm so lucky I get to watch the moon together with you in this lovely place. Shioriko *Giggle* And I'm happy I get to watch the moon with you, too. |
Shioriko
I made some dango dumplings for moon-viewing. Would you like to eat some together?
Player
Thanks, I'd love to. …Wow, they're delicious!
Shioriko
I'm glad you like it. Have a drink too.
Player
Okay, I'll pour some for you as well. Okay, here you go.
Shioriko
Thank you.
Shioriko
*Gulp* Ahhh, nice and warm.
Player
Ah, you can see the full moon reflected in your cup!
Shioriko
Goodness, you're right. How beautiful. It's like the full moon is floating on top of my tea.
Shioriko
It looks so pretty, swaying and shimmering.
Player
(The moon is pretty too, but Shioriko looks absolutely beautiful in the moonlight.)
Player
(Almost like Princess Kaguya.)
Player
(When I think of it like that, she feels like a fleeting presence, like she might disappear into the moonlight itself.)
Shioriko
Um, is something wrong?
Player
Ah, sorry! No, nothing.
Shioriko
If you're happy to talk to me, know that you can tell me anything. It worries me to see you looking uneasy.
Player
U-Um, I was just thinking that you're kinda like Princess Kaguya.
Shioriko
Princess Kaguya?
Player
Yeah. In the moonlight, you look so beautiful but so fleeting, like you might just disappear somewhere like Princess Kaguya.
Shioriko
*Giggle* So that's what you were thinking about?
Shioriko
Please don't worry. Whatever happens, I'll always be by your side.
Player
Really?
Shioriko
Yes. So don't leave mine either, okay?
Player
Of course! I'll always be by your side, Shioriko!
Shioriko
Then it's a promise. Let's come and watch the moon here together for next year's moon-viewing too.
