Character Story 8: I'll Eat You Up!

Scene: A street in Landsol.

Yuuki and Hatsune are going shopping.

Hatsune
I want to redecorate my room to make it look cuter. If there were some nice ornaments, that might work, but... I don't know which ones would be best.

Hatsune
I wanted to hear your opinion, so I asked you to come.

Hatsune
On that subject, let's get started with...

A light shines.

Hatsune
Ah, so bright...! This is like before...!?

Hatsune
H-Huh...? I'm getting sleepy again... Zzz.

Scene: A gift shop in Japan.

Hatsune
The zoo was a lot of fun! Hey, hey, let's go look at the souvenirs!

Hatsune
This is pretty special, so I should buy a present for Shiori! Which one should it be...?

Hatsune
Ah, this panda plushie is pretty nice! A cute thing like this would really suit Shiori!

Hatsune
Huh? You think it would also suit me...!?

Hatsune
Heh heh, that's not right. The one that would suit me is... Something like this tiger! Roar!

Hatsune
Roar, roar! I'll eat you up!

Hatsune
... What? You're not tasty...?

Hatsune
Is that so? You look pretty tasty, you know. You're also bigger than me, so you'll make a satisfying meal!

Hatsune
And more than that, you're really nice, really interesting, really diligent, really cool, really gentle...

Hatsune
... H-Huh? You don't think those have anything to do with being tasty...?

Hatsune
A-Ahaha... What am I even talking about?

Yuuki
1. "You'd better savor me when you eat me."
2. "You won't actually eat me... will you?"

Option 1.

Hatsune
Why are you okay with it!? And anyway, I wouldn't actually eat you!

Option 2.

Hatsune
O-Of course I will! What do you take me for?

End of branches.

Hatsune
Really... This is all because you surprised me by saying something weird...

Hatsune
... Huh? As an apology, you'll buy me this tiger?

Hatsune
Really!? Thank you! Then, let me return the favor, too.

Hatsune
... Chomp!

Hatsune
Eh heh heh... I ate you up. Just your cheek, though...

End of dream.

Ames
All right, good work.

Ames
Hatsune is pretty bold... That came as a surprise to me.

Ames
She went like "chomp"! Chomp!? Wasn't that way too cute!?

Ames
Anyway, just like how it was on "that side", it also looks like you're going to continue having a strong friendship on "this side", so make sure you treasure your time together for the time being.

Ames
Soon enough, things will require you to put forth your utmost effort, but until then... you know.

Ames
Then, let's leave it at that for now. Bye-bye! See you later.

End of Ames conversation.

Hatsune
Yaaawn... I fell asleep again? Ah, and you fell asleep too...

Hatsune
Huh? You dreamed you were at the zoo!? Then that was the same dream I had... Didn't this also happen before?

Hatsune
Ah, right! For decorating my room, how you think plushies would work? I think they're really cute...

Hatsune
Eh, you'll buy one for me!? You're the best! Thanks! I'll have to do something to return the favor now, won't I?

Hatsune
... Huh? Speaking of returning favors...

Hatsune
Umm, uh... It's not like that! When I ate you up in the dream, it was just kind of on a whim... I was really happy, so I just...

Hatsune
(O-Oooh... Even if it was just in a dream, why did I do something like that...?)

Hatsune
N-Nothing, nooothing! Just forget about what I did in the dream!!

Hatsune felt too embarrassed, so she ran off.
