    Ah, I see. (But still, he acts like a kid raised in the wild when no one is around to control him. XD;;)

    And it's hard not to get distracted when there are a lot of cuties around~ (And Tezuka seems like one that would be hard to get?)

    Ah, I was kind of thinking that too. Especially after hearing that the new one has that love triangle feature too like the 3rd game. (I think they were made by the same company? x,x?) o:

    Actually, the game is not difficult at all. Really. It's almost impossible to screw it up. You talk to your guy at every opportunity and then there are a few important choices where you have to pick the right one, but, yeah, not so difficult.

    Yep, this game is by Konami, too!

    Today is Tuesday, the 23rd! And today we have to inspect the cotton candy booth. Finally.
    On the way to school we meet Kawamura, I decide to be polite and greet him.

    [IMG]

    Eiji: Our booth is here?

    Uhh, was he in the cotton candy, too? Whatever, where's Tezuka?
    Eiji complains that their place is too wide and we tell him it's the smallest booth.

    [IMG]

    Ooishi: Better too big than too small. (cough) I won't be troubled if it's too big.

    [IMG]

    T: Well, what equipment does the committee provide?
    FLAT: Ah, yes. The cotton candy machine is gonna be leased.
    Then Eiji asks what else they'll need and Ooishi says that the materials are most important; especially the sugar. We say that normal sugar won't do and that we'll need that granulated brown stuff.

    [IMG]

    T: We will also need the plastic bags to wrap up the cotton candy.

    ..wait what? Since we do you wrap up cotton candy!?

    [IMG]

    Eiji: And at last the wooden chopsticks.

    รด_O I don't get what's going on. I really hope they'll use the chopsticks as sticks for the cotton candy.
    Well, that's more or less all of our talking and I head back to report all the stuff we need to the committee.

    [IMG]

    Ahaha, now I was kinda surprised. It's the first time he used my name! (And you can chose a pronunciation for your name in this game like tokimeki and I just picked the first thing it suggested; which was Fukushima.)
    T: What is it, FLAT? Do you have a message from the committee?
    FLAT: That's not it.. could we talk for a bit?
    T: I don't mind.
    Soo, now I have two more topics unlocked - I can ask him about the tennis club or a books. But I chose to talk to him about homework. Yes.
    FLAT: Sempai, did you already finish your summer homework?
    T: Yes, I already finished them in July.
    FLAT: A, amazing!
    T: I only performed it as planned.
    FLAT: I want to follow sempai's example and will make a plan for next year!
    T: You have to take care and depend on yourself, FLAT... you can certainly do it.

    [IMG]

    FLAT: Yes, I'll do my best!
    Definitely a good idea to talk about homework to the glasses guy. And we gained 1 and a half heart!

    I talk to Eiji and he wants to show us something great.

    [IMG]

    Yeaah, thank god.
    Ahahaha. He gives us the cards and tells us to shuffle them and to pick a card and to remember it and FLAT tells him she remembered and immediately tells what card she picked. Oh flat.
    But Eiji isn't discouraged and asks us to shuffle again... but he messes up and can't find our card. Aww, those two are kinda cute.

    [IMG]

    Now I have the choice between "Sempai.... can you really do a card trick?" or "Too bad." Of course I'm trying to be polite here...

    [IMG]

    He says he'll practice again.

    It's noon! The committee meeting ended and it's time to decide on the attractions!

    Ooishi: Then we will decide the attraction program and their members.
    Eiji: Wait a sec! We can do the attraction with members from other clubs, right?
    Oo: Yes, that's right.
    Eiji: Is it okay not to meet with the other members?
    Inui: Don't worry about that. With this computer we can do the meeting and connect with the other tennis clubs. If anyone wants to participate in any attraction, he can just post it here.

    [IMG]

    Fuji: Hee.. this kind of facility is also provided.
    Momo: Attraction, huh? I prefer the splashy ones. Doo-n and the likes.
    Ryouma: Right now, what kind of programs appear?
    Inui: Right now there still isn't... Ah, one appeared. "Rock band", it says. Suggested by Kamio from Fudomine.
    Momo: Rock band, huh.. That sounds great. It's well suited for the rhythm-man. Inui-sempai, please enter me.
    Inui: Got it. Momoshiro takes part in the rockband...
    FujI: Rock, huh... I want something lighter. Like a normal song.
    Inui: Then it's a coincidence. A new suggestion by Saeki from Rokkaku, titled "Vocal unit".
    Fuji: He.. Saeki was thinking the same. Then I'll join there.
    Inui: Got it. There's something new by Mizuki from St. Rudolph, a drama or whatever. The title hasn't been decided yet.
    Oo: Mizuki, huh..? Somehow his suggestion feels uncertain.
    Inui: A new entry. Mukahi from Hyoutei suggests a street dance.
    Eiji: Muu! That's absolutely a challenge for me! I'll accept! [I think both of them play some kind of acrobatic tennis or something? Not sure about mukahi, but Eiji definitely.] Just wait and see~, Mukahi!

    [IMG]

    He's still here!? Dammit. Well, he wants to dance, too. Whatever.

    Inui: Next Tachibana from Fudomine is suggesting a "wadaiko/taiko ensemble". [google it. just some drum or something.]

    [IMG]

    Kaidoh and Kawamura join it, because you probably need strength to play the drums and Kawamura is a heavy power player and Kaidoh isn't that weak himself, either. [He always runs a friggin lot and trains his hit in the river with a wet towel; totes crazy that guy]

    Inui: The last entry is by Atobe from Hyoutei.
    T: Atobe? What's the title?
    Inui: It's drama. Hamlet.
    T: Hamlet...?

    [IMG]

    T: Fumu.. Hamlet has a deep meaning. I'l join it.
    Inui and Ooishi join, too.
    Ryouma: Somehow.. nothing really interests me.
    FLAT: Then you don't need to force yourself to join something, right? It's a free participation after all.
    Ryouma: You're right.

    And thaaaaat's finally over. Now let's go stalk Tezuka!

    [IMG]

    ..but of course, what would happen if FLAT doesn't run into some guy?
    FLAT: So, sorry. I haven't really... wah!? Wh-, what a big person...
    Ishida: Ah, sorry. blablabal.

    [IMG]

    Akazawa: After all, Curry is limited to summer!
    FLAT: (Looks like he enjoys his food..)
    Aka: Hm? Do you have business with me?
    No, only with your curry. Poor flat needs every nutrition she can get.

    We find Tezuka reading something.

    [IMG]

    T: Ah, it's because I had some free time.
    FLAT: What are you reading?
    T: This.
    FLAT: Eh!? This... a western book? In English, right?
    T: That's right.
    FLAT: Reading a western book... how amazing.
    T: When you use a dictionary, complicated words or pronunciations are easy to understand. Reading a novel isn't that difficult.
    FLAT: Is that so...
    T: Do you want to try to read it?
    FLAT: Yes, I'll try!
    T: Then I'll lend you this book. I already finished it.
    FLAT: Then, please let me borrow it. Uhhm.. Ah, this writer..
    T: You know him?
    FLAT: Yes, he's a detective story writer.
    T: That's right.
    FLAT: My father loves the detective series made by this author so I sometimes read them.
    T: That's the first volume of that series.
    FLAT: Ah.. I haven't read that yet.
    T: That's convenient.
    FLAT: Yes, the desire to read it becomes stronger!
    T: It's important to have a strong desire. Do your best.

    [IMG]

    Yeaaah.
    I talk to Inui and

    [IMG]

    See, it's incredibly easy to trigger their events. Just.. talk to them. Inui is doing some research. I get some love points. Haah.

    [IMG]

    Oh come oooon, I'm trying to romance Tezuka!

    Oo: You.. are wearing glasses?
    (He'd feel very comfortable here.)
    We tell him they are only reading glasses but they don't suit is very well, but he disagrees.

    [IMG]

    Guy likes them glasses.

    It's evening and stalking time again.

    [IMG]

    That's the stage, btw.

    [IMG]

    Atobe: The leading role of Hamlet will be me. [note: atobe always refers to himself as 'ore-sama', which is very arrogant.]
    T: So tyrannically.. But I don't care.
    Ooishi: That's fine but.. since there is no girl here, Hamlet is quite difficult, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken, there's Ophelia.
    Atobe: About Ophelia, I already have a good idea. No need to worry.

    [IMG]

    Yagyuu: Tezuka-kun, I think you're suited for Horatio.

    [IMG]
    leave me alone. I love atobe. <3

    Atobe: Fum, nice strike line, isn't it. How about it, Tezuka-kun? A-n?
    T: Horatio.. certainly, he's Hamlet's friend. Fine I guess, I'll try.

    [IMG]

    Yuuta [brother of Fuji]: I.. don't really know Hamlet that well.
    Atobe: A-n? Then what are you participating for?
    Yuuta: Ah, well.. because I didn't want to be in Mizuki-san's drama.
    Atobe: Then at least read Hamlet! Your role will be Laertes.
    Yuuta: Leia..?
    Atobe: The role that will fight me in the end. Sounds interesting, right?
    Yuuta: Hee.. that sounds like it's worth it.

    Ooishi: By the way, ir seems that performing the whole Hamlet is impossible because of the time limit, right? Will we just be enacting highlights from it?
    Atobe: Exactly. There are still more minor roles listed on this paper. Show it, Kabaji.

    [IMG]

    Kabaji: Uss. [Uss or Oss are kinda.. manly ways to say yes? Well, for example, if you're in the baseball club in school and the president is uhh holding a speech to motivate you and you and your comrades shout "Uss!" at the end of it. That feeling. I use it in university, too. Because I'm so manly.]
    Yagyuu: Kabaji-kun is Claudius.. hmm, it's appropriate. Other remaining roles are Gertrudetherobot, Polonius, Father's ghost..

    [IMG]

    T: getrudetherobot is a queen, in short, a woman. There aren't any women around here.
    [uhh.. flat? Please run away.]
    Atobe: Let Ooishi do it.
    [Oh, okay. That's cool, I guess...?]

    [IMG]

    Ooishi: Eeh!? Me?
    Atobe: The only one who can express that delicate mentality, as far as I can see, is only you, Ooishi.
    Oo: Is, is that so?
    Atobe: Trust my insight. Next for the ghost.. Inui, you.

    [IMG]

    Inui: Hmm... fine. It might be interesting to do a non-human character.

    [IMG]
    That's kinda funny.

    Yagyuu: Then, the remaining Polonius will be me. Then it's all decided except for Ophelia..
    T: 'The' Ophelia does exist, I presume?
    Atobe: Aa. Leave it to me.
    FLAT: (Everyone seems to be working hard..)
    Except for you. You roam the campus and run into pretty boys. Shame on you, flat rack!

    Hahaha. I decide to talk to Tezuka and that actually decreased Inui's love points. Some guys are a bit on the jealous side. I ask him if he needs anything festival-related, but nuh-uh. We gain a heart and that's it.
    I talk to Ooishi, but he's busy.

    [IMG]

    And of course I walk into him after school. I bid him goodbye, I really don't want to go home with him.

    [IMG]

    Aah, looking good!
    And that's for now. I'm probably gonna update in a few hours again, but now I need to find the apartment of my 'mother-in-law' and water her plants and buy some groceries.

    Ha, to tell you the truth the drawing of Gertrude is actually based on me too. <<self referencial

    Also, heck yes, I'm a real woman.

    Edit: An old handle of mine used to involve the name Ophelia. I knew I liked this Tezuka guy.

  11. Petenshi Fresh Meat

    Ah, I see. I thought each character would have different difficulties like other games. Especially someone like Tezuka since he seems like he has no interest in dating. (But he wouldn't be as bad as Sanada.) XD;;

    .... For some reason, Oishi does seem fit to play a female role and Inui seems fit to play a ghost. o_o
    Anyways~ Yes, Tezuka is slowly warming up to you~~ :D

    (Sorry for the late reply. I meant to reply sooner but I got distracted by looking up Atobe pictures and myu clips. Didn't notice there are actually more sparkles outside of these games. orz)

    It's the 24th! And today we have to decide on the cafe menu. Oh boy.
    We meet Ryouma on the way to school and I decide to greet him.
    We meet Tezuka first thing at the construction site; or the future booth space field thingy.
    So I decide to talk to him about western books, since I unlocked this special topic previously!

    FLAT: Yesterday, I found a western book that looked interesting.
    T: Hoo.
    FLAT: Because it's a picture book, I thought it would be easier to read, so I bought it and took it home...

    [IMG]

    T: Ah, for a beginner it's probably better to pick a book like that.
    FLAT: But when I started to read it turns out it's full of words I didn't understand at all. When I looked closely, it turned out to be.. FRENCH.

    [IMG]
    (Do you see that!? He laughed!)
    T: ...fu.
    FLAT: Ah.. sempai. You just laughed?
    T: Is, is that so?
    FLAT: Yes, you laughed! Lately, I'm starting to understand you a little bit.

    [IMG]

    T: Hm...
    (We got two and a half hearts for this! Yeaah.)
    After that I decide to talk to Ryouma about the weather, but he seemed rather busy and excused himself.

    After that we were at another meeting; but it was pretty long so we had to hurry to reach the cafe.
    Inui didn't lie and he made many home-made blend experiments and asks us now of our opinion.

    [IMG]

    Uhh...

    [IMG]

    That's...

    [IMG]

    ..what?

    [IMG]

    Ryouma: Geh, seriously?
    FLAT: Uhm~ I've been wondering for some time, but why is everyone afraid of Inui-sempais drinks?
    Ryouma: ...you'll understand if you drink them.
    FLAT: Is that so? Well, then I'll taste them.
    (Nooo, don't! You're young! And you haven't loved a sparkly middle school boy yet!)

    [IMG]

    kid: Wait a sec! This, let me drink it! It seems soo yummy!
    (Oh, god, I was never so happy so see you before, kiddo. Go, drink them! The taste like unicorn farts!)
    FLAT: Eh? Ah, yes, it's fine, but..
    kiddo: Itadakimaaasu! [..that's something you say before eating something. I don't know of any similar phrase in the english language, so live with it.]
    kid: Ung, ung... [the sound of drinking, ok?]
    Ryouma: Ah.. I'm not responsible.

    [IMG]

    kid: Kuwaaaaaa!!
    And then he bolds off, being obviously in big pain.
    FLAT: Eh? Eh? What happened?
    Ryouma: It's the taste.
    FLAT: What a taste is that... I'll try it.
    (And that's how you die. Don't drink stuff that looks like drain waiter; cleaning chemicals and liquid make up in vodka.)
    FLAT: N.. ka! Bitter! Water, water!!
    Fuji: So? I think it's fine.
    Ryouma: Hey, is it better than the usual flavour?
    FLAT: Fuu.. se, seriously.. is the usual as bad as this?
    Inui: ..looks like the taste is improving.
    FLAT: Uwa.. this might be very difficult in future...
    And then that kid reappears.
    kid: Haa, haaa... I thought I'd die. Somehow, just now.. I thought I would go insane.. Ha!? Maybe..!

    [IMG]

    kid: A zombie drink!?
    FLAT: Eh? What?
    And then he talks about a manga he read and he talks about mandrakes and blow fish and then accuses Inui of being a zombie master and of course he doesn't deny it. Whatever. We decide to decide on the food tomorrow and we're quite happy to leave those lunatics.
    Instead, talking to Tezuka!

    FLAT: Ah, Tezuka-sempai, you're reading again?
    T: Yes.
    FLAT: You really like to read.
    T: Seems like it.
    FLAT: Ah, right, I've began to read the book I borrowed yesterday.

    [IMG]
    (he has a really nice voice, wait lemme look what else his voice actor did..... oh, geez. he's kijyou. what the actual fuck!? how could they be the same person!? I think wikipedia is lying.)

    T: How is it?
    FLAT: As expected, there are many english words I don't understand.
    T: People will feel that way for the first time.
    FLAT: Ah, but if you're familiar with the character of the detective as the main character it's easier to read.
    T: I see.
    FLAT: And I feel I already upgraded my english.
    T: Since it's only a day, I don't think your level increased yet.
    FLAT: Ah, that's right.. I'm a little bit excited so I just got carried away.
    T: No, having confidence is not a bad thing. However, don't let it become arrogance.
    FLAT: Confidence and arrogance.. the ruling lines are difficult.
    T: If you are starting to think that this is already enough, it means you already let your guard down.
    FLAT: Yes!

    [IMG]

    Soon.

    So I talk to Ooishi and he's reading a book, too. About aquariums. I pretend not to know what that is and he explains it and we gain 2 hearts, dammit. Guy likes stupid glasses. And then they talk more but I don't bother reading and at the he says "Really?" and now I'm scared FLAT admitted she likes being whipped or something. I really should take care of her a bit more.
    After that we see Tezuka and the others practicing Hamlet.

    Atobe: Mother, what is the matter?

    [IMG]

    Ooishi: Hamlet, Father is very angry.
    Atobe: Wasn't that because of mother?
    Oo: Why are you saying such thing with idle tongue.
    Atobe: Why do you speak with idle tongue.
    Oo: Have you already forgotten about me?
    Atobe: What a thing to say. To forget? Became a queen, husband brother's wife, with furthermore improper things, but you're my mother.

    Inui: Alright, until this part.

    [IMG]

    T: Hm.. quite an enthusiastic performance.
    Yagyuu: Atobe-kun is almost professional at this.

    [IMG]

    Atobe: Fun.. of course.
    (So full of himself. <3)
    T: Ooishi's performance is also significant.
    Oo: Is that so? However I still can't get a grip on that role.
    (Maybe it'll help if you wear a pretty dress and some make up? It always does the trick for me.)
    Yuuta: Laertes is a person who is easy to understand.
    Atobe: Don't take it lightly. Understand precisely Laertes' conflict.
    Yuuta: Uh...

    [IMG]

    FLAT: (Hamlet.. is serious business.)

    [IMG]

    See that? Ooishi is pissed because we talk to Tezuka. Guy likes stupid glasses who only talk to him.
    So I ask Tezuka why he doesn't wear any contacts and he says he prefers glasses. Righto. But instead of ending our conversation he...

    [IMG]

    T: Do you have a mobile phone?
    YUS!
    He explains that there are various matters which he may need to talk over with me and I'll give him my number.

    After that I talk to Inui, just to piss Ooishi off.
    I want to ask him if he's playing eroge, but he suddenly seems to get away very quickly.
    And then it's already time to go home!
    At home Flat is about worried about the cafe situation... since no one would probably come and buy something with that kind of menu.

    [IMG]

    Huh. Seems like I didn't piss off Ooishi that much. Or maybe he's M and quietly enjoys if his stupid glasses is teasing him?
    Well, that's that for today. We got Tezuka's phone number and that's enough for me now!

    And yeah, it actually took me quite a while to get a screen of his smile because it vanished INSTANTLY.
  15. Petenshi Fresh Meat

    Yep~ It was the Yakiniku competition right before the finals. (The anime changed a lot of the characters' hair colors. Like Yagyuu has purple hair instead of brown. x.x;;)

    He really likes hiding those smiles. D: (Maybe because he gets teased when caught? XD)
