Rocket Start - sparse flash 6

Subaru: Ahahahahaha! ☆

It's pretty fun to play games every once in a while!

Look, look, the screen's jam-packed with sparkles! It's sooo pretty and colorful, heheh ♪

Makoto: Er, well... The point of this puzzle game isn't to collect the sparkles but rather, er, to get rid of them as fast as you can.

Subaru: Ohhhh, so that's the kind of game this is!

No wonder the music got all scary-sounding when it filled up! It was like, "You're in trouble now!" Got it now though, gooot it~☆

Uhh—now, how am I supposed to clear it... Oh, do I gotta put four of the same color together?

One, two, three, four, and poof~☆

Look, look! The sparkles expand/burst when they go out~! They look like fireworks~☆

Alrighty, I'm gonna clear 'em up quick~! Sparkling Stream...☆

Makoto: Ahaha.... I'm glad you seem to be having fun~. This one's pretty simple since it's a retro/older game...

Games these days are usually pretty CG-intensive, so if you're used to that... Isn't this a little boring?

Subaru: No way—I never play games, so this is totally fresh and fun to me! I prefer/I like runnin' around outside~ I can do it forever as long as the sun's shining!

Makoto: How healthy... I just stay inside playing video games all day, so I'm about as strong as a bean sprout.

Subaru: Huh? Isn't that bad for you? I mean, isn't one of the basics of being an idol having a ton of stamina?

Makoto: I guess so... Playing games puts my mind at ease though~. It's all programmed, after all.

I'm bad with people since humans can be a little... impossible to predict.

Subaru: I get it~. Games are pretty simple, huh.

But I really, really love seeing other people's smiles.

...Oops. It's already that time, huh~? I gotta get home.

Daikichi... I need to walk my dog.

Makoto: No, it's my fault—sorry for making you stay so late. I usually play games by myself, so it's been really fun playing with someone else.

Subaru: Nah, it's fine. I came to try out the Game Club anyway—I wanted to see for myself what kinda stuff you got up to.

It's been a while since I played together with anyone too, so I had a ton of fun.

Geez, though. Originally I came 'cause of Natsume, but he ditched me mid-visit all like, "I have other things to DO."

It totally threw me off.

Makoto: Oh, you two came to try out the club... You should've said that~. Though it was pretty bad of me to just play games with you without/instead of asking about why you came...

So... Are you two going to join?

It'd be a huge help. Like I said earlier... The club doesn't have enough members right now, so it's on the edge of disbandment.

Subaru: Mmm... Well, I don't know about Natsume, but I think I'm gonna wait and see... I got invited by a few other clubs, too.

Like the basketball team. Apparently they've got the same trouble as you.

I loved playing with balls when I was a kid, so I might be a good fit for the team.

Makoto: Mmmm... So the basketball team's in the same boat, huh? That's surprising.

We've got our own basketball court and everything... I heard that we were such a powerhouse/our team was such a championship team that they had exclusive use of it.

Subaru: Oooh, you know a lot, huh?

Makoto: Ahaha... I just surf the web in my free time.

You could call it a little habit of mine... I get anxious if I don't look up every little detail about everything around me ahead of time.

If I don't know any of that then I don't know what kind of face to make.

Oops—you were supposed to be leaving, right? And I've just kept going on and on... Sorry about that. Seems I was a little starved for company.

Subaru: Nah, it's been a really long time since I got to talk to anyone else, too... I'm happy.

It's sooo easy to talk to you, Yuuki-kun~. I usually end up on an entirely different page halfway through the conversation with other people.

Makoto: Really? I was amazed you could talk so much with someone like me... I'm really bad at keeping conversations going.

Subaru: Ahahaha, seems like we've got good chemistry, huh? We've only played games and chatted for a little while, but I already really like you, Yuuki-kun.

Can I swing by again sometime? If you don't mind? I don't know if I'll join the club or anything, but I reaaally wanna play games with you again ♪

Makoto: Of course. I'd love that~, so drop by whenever.

Heheh. The Game Club might get disbanded, though... and if that happens, I might not be able to keep my promise.
