Let's start with a mystery!
|
Ruby |
But how are you supposed to have a mystery-style experience? 1
|
Player |
Well, I'd say that as long as there's a case and we solve it, that'd be good enough.
|
Shizuku |
I'd love to perform in a real mystery someday. On a deserted island, cut off from all by a raging storm, our protagonist must solve the mystery to stop the cycle of tragedies! 2 +
|
Hanamaru |
Oh, so a closed circle style! That's a standard mystery staple, zura! 3
|
Ruby |
Um, so it's basically figuring out something you don't know, right? I just don't think it needs to be a super huge mystery... 4
|
Player |
Yeah, if you boil it down to its key components, I'd say it's fine to just solve some kind of puzzle.
|
Shizuku |
I see. Though I feel like it wouldn't be enough to just solve regular old riddles... Hmm... 5 +
|
Shizuku |
Oh, I know! Why don't you try to deduce what the president here had for breakfast this morning? 6
|
That could work!
|
Player |
That could work. We'll see if you can spot the clues and find the truth buried in our conversation. How's that sound to you, Hanamaru?
|
Hanamaru |
Sounds great, zura. Let's try it! 7
|
That sounds like a mystery! select_2
|
Player |
Ooh, that sounds like a mystery! It'll be like a one-off match of the detective vs. the culprit! That's so exciting! Let's do it, Hanamaru!
|
Hanamaru |
So I'll reason it out... If I guess it, do you think I could call myself a real detective or what? 8
|
|
Ruby |
Good luck, Hanamaru! 9
|
Hanamaru |
Okay! So, um... What time did you wake up this morning? 10 +
|
Player |
At 7:30. I wanted to wake up at 6:30, but I slept in a bit. I was in kind of a rush 'cause I didn't want to miss the train.
|
Hanamaru |
That must've been rough. Did you even get to eat breakfast? 11
|
Player |
Yeah, I managed. I wouldn't be able to function without it.
|
Hanamaru |
But I imagine you weren't able to savor it since you had so little time. You didn't eat too fast and choke or anything, right? 12
|
Player |
I was fine, though I was definitely frustrated Mom had to make THAT of all things this morning. Like, maybe if she'd put it all together instead of separately...
|
Hanamaru |
You had rice, miso soup, and grilled salmon. Am I right? 14
|
Together |
?! 15
|
Player |
Huh?! How the heck did you figure that out?!
|
Hanamaru |
Well... It sounded like your side dish was a bit tough to eat, so the first thing I thought of was grilled fish, since it takes time to debone it. 17
|
Hanamaru |
And generally you eat rice with fish rather than bread. And you said it'd be easier if it was put together instead, which led me to think of a fish ochazuke. 18
|
Hanamaru |
As for which fish, it would have to be one people eat in the morning that can be made into ochazuke, so salmon. I mostly just went with my gut, but I smelled the miso on you. 19
|
Player |
Wait, I smell like miso...?
|
Shizuku |
Allow me to check. *Sniff* No, not particularly. I've been with you all morning and I never noticed at all. 20 +
|
Ruby |
You're amazing, Hanamaru! 21
|
Shizuku |
You could've written a mystery from the very start, couldn't you?! 22
|
Player |
You were an amazing detective, Hanamaru! I'd say that was a genuine mystery experience!
|
Hanamaru |
I-I wasn't that good! But I'm glad I got it right, zura. 23 +
