bonk!

Isumi Haruka: I’m almost done with the game! I’ll return it tomorrow!

Izumi Iori: Just to be sure, are you referring to the romance game I lent you?

Isumi Haruka: Yeah. Wait, isn’t this the only one you lent me?

Izumi Iori: I had a difficult time on that route, so I thought you’ll take more time.

I lent you the game recently.

Isumi Haruka: I binged it because I got curious with the plot twists

Isumi Haruka: The knight’s really cold at first, yeah?

Izumi Iori: Yes.

He has an attitude where he’ll ignore you when you talk to him.

Isumi Haruka: But, I understand that he’s actually concerned but not honest to show it? 🤔

Isumi Haruka: Surprisingly, he’s a nice guy,,

Izumi Iori: On the contrary, you chose to go that route.

Isumi Haruka:

Izumi Iori: You’re going to use it as reference for the stage play, so I thought you’ll play it businesslike.

Isumi Haruka: I thought I was going to do that, but when I started playing I got so emotionally invested!

The knight protected me and got hurt when I played a while ago

Izumi Iori: Me

Isumi Haruka: Hm?

Izumi Iori: Nothing, I was thinking that you’re truly enjoying the game

Izumi Iori: That’s the scene where he wiped the heroine’s tears with his finger without hesitation, and that was because of her he got hurt.

Isumi Haruka: That one!

Isumi Haruka: Made me think that this guy’s amazing when he wiped her tears

Izumi Iori: Well, normally you’d use a handkerchief for that.

Izumi Iori: There’s a certain someone who’d wipe it with his sleeve.

Isumi Haruka: Someone like Yotsuba lolol

Isumi Haruka: Isn’t it about time he brings a handkerchief with him?

So he’ll use it after washing his hands

Izumi Iori: Ousaka-san’s been reminding him these days, so by now he should be carrying one.

I presume he finds it too much of a bother to pull it out?

Isumi Haruka: Then there’s no use bringing it

Isumi Haruka: Better yet, Ousaka-san’s amazing. He even worries about that.

He seems skilled with wiping tears

Izumi Iori: I guess so.

Surprisingly, I feel he’s someone who’ll seriously say “There’s no reason to cry because the wound isn’t fatal.”

Izumi Iori: How about Midou-san in this instance?

He looks like he'd be natural at this.

Isumi Haruka: Ah~~~~~~~~~

Izumi Iori: What’s with that reaction all of a sudden

Isumi Haruka: I was replaying him doing it in my head lolol

Isumi Haruka: You’d definitely use a handkerchief

Izumi Iori: Being told like this with our current topic is a bit awkward.

Isumi Haruka: Then you’ll use your finger instead?

Izumi Iori: I don’t think wiping someone’s tears with their finger is cool.

A handkerchief is more hygienic, and saves the time used to wipe the hands with tears.

Isumi Haruka: Time lololol

Isumi Haruka: That’s not what I mean

I’m talking about wiping the tears of someone important to you with your finger instinctively

Isumi Haruka: Even when the heroine’s crying, you don’t want the knight to hand her a handkerchief just because it’s… more hygienic?

Izumi Iori: Then I won’t make that person important to me cry.

Isumi Haruka: Ooh…

Izumi Iori: Even if I’m wounded, I won’t show that I’m in pain to not make them worry.

Isumi Haruka: You’re really cool

Izumi Iori: Thank you.

Izumi Iori: By the way, have you made several save files of the game?

Isumi Haruka: I didn’t

Are you supposed to do that in adventure games?

Izumi Iori: Yes. You can load the save file just in case your choices lead you to a bad ending.

Isumi Haruka: Eh

Isumi Haruka: The knight’s unexpectedly heavily wounded and is being chased by the enemy right now

Isumi Haruka: Will I be able to manage this…?

Izumi Iori: Ah

Izumi Iori: Looks like you’ll take a while before you return the game.

Isumi Haruka:

Isumi Haruka: It’ll be too late then!!!!!!!

Izumi Iori: I didn’t say it clearly, though.

Isumi Haruka: I’ll continue for now,,

I’ll take whatever ending I’ll get,,

Izumi Iori: That coolness is so like you.

That’s a good thing.

Isumi Haruka: Don’t say it in a monotone! 😡

Izumi Iori:
