(out of the question) Shiba: Whatever, you're boring... / Even though you're the one who said we should keep playing. / Ah SFX: Bu--- (funny face)
6 Eri: Even Mitsuogi-chan is becoming emotionally involved. / She gave Natsu a ring and said they were lovers. Shiba: No way! I don't believe it!

Natsu: There's no way something like that would really happen, ya know? Shiba: Ah, I guess you're right Natsu: I mean, there's also someone who said she's continuing the game because she doesn't get to hang out with you enough... Shiba: with me?

1: Shiba-chi: Sanshima-chan, if you keep being so prejudiced against modern technology // won't your brain tissue just all turn to muscle? Natsu: Oh yeah? And you, Shiba-chi? / Aren't you so puny because you never go outside and only play video games? (SFX: gitsu-) Shiba-chi: WHAT!? // Try and say that again! You brawny idiot! (SFX: dodoon) Natsu: Is that what you say? Well then, who's going to play that stupid game?! /Ah-- I refuse! Eri: (just like always)
2 Ku: Natsu, the truth is // you understand, don't you? / Shiba-chi loves that game, Ku: so she wants to play it with the friends that she also loves. That's why she brought it for us. Ku: But you're thinking there's loads of other stuff you want to do with Shibachi and everybody // besides playing that game. Natsu: ... dang it
3 Natsu: If all we ever did was play that game... /That'd be pretty sad, if all the memories we have of high school together are just of playing that game. Ku: Yeah, you're right // but... Ku: The more you refuse it, the more it seems like you're just being stubborn / Isn't that what you're doing, Natsu? Ku: Let's play the game, too, just a little bit. / And then, we can also get Shiba-chi to come do other stuff with us.
4 Natsu: Okay. But / what should I do? I refused to take the disk... Ku: That's alright / I thought it might be useful, so I went ahead and kept it for you. / After this, I'll bring the MGP (Micro Game Player) over to your house, Natsu. Ku: Micro Game Player MMORPG / Apocalypse Online Ku: I called Shiba-chi and told her that we're going to make our characters and log in. Natsu: Ah... On the screen: Installing

SFX: kachi kachi Chat: Who're you? SFX: kachi Tabs: Regular / Wide Area / Local / Guild Archer: You're asking who I am?

(It must be great that your shoulders never get stiff / Ahaha) Eri: Want to shoot things up? Too bad! (If you play while you're bathing, you'll catch a cold (Mother)) (Yes, mom) Shiba-chi: But in games there's Action! / and Shooting!! Shiba-chi: If you're in a game, you can do anything!!
11 Eri: It's a place where you can do things you aren't able to in reality. // That's what a "game" is!! SFX: Kirari--n Ku: If you go with that theory, Shiba-chi's character is easy to understand, but... (Big-Boob-chan?) Natsu: (Dog?) Eri: I want to be something that isn't a person... Shiba-chi: So Eri's a little eccentric... Natsu: Shiba-chi, you're one to talk! Eri: By the way, it's set so Sanae's my owner... Shiba-chi: Anyway, I'm tired of waiting around!! Let's go hunting! // If you have any unequipped items, put them on quickly! Natsu: (items...) Natsu: Hey, Ku...
12 Natsu: There's one piece of equipment I can't put on... Message: Item is a duplicate. You cannot equip... Ku: Hm... / That? / Some kind of message is appearing/ "Item is a duplicate.

Ku: Thanks SFX: Pikan SFX: Ka- SFK: Paa
13 SFX: Pikiin Natsu: It surprised me... Shiba-chi: Hera's Marriage Rings!!!
14 Natsu: What's that? Shibachi: It's a publicly rumored super rare item! / Anyway, try reading the item description!! Screen: Hera's Marri... for future implementation... distributed... users... partnership... ring... the ring... marri...
Ku: "Hera's Marriage Ring (Beta Testing)" In order to test the marriage system for future implementation, this special item has been distributed to randomly selected users. In order to utilize the partnership, please give any character the matching ring... // The two characters who have the rings are able to receive married character benefits together. // They now have a "Married Relationship". Text: What? // Natsu and I are...!? // Mar...ried...!!?
15 Shiba-chi: Um... in that case / Let's change our plans / and analyze that rare item right now! Shiba-chi: It seems like the closer you are to each other, the more the marriage effect goes up. / You two, get closer together Eri:(You change pages quickly) Shiba-chi: (It's because Elves are really fast!) Shiba-chi: Oh... // By the light, you can tell how strong the rings' effects are.
16 SFX: doki Shiba-chi: You face each other, when you get close together. It looks so realistic, even up to the expression on your face. / It's really well done... (keep up the good work, graphics designers--) // (Hoooo) Shiba-chi: What's more, if you sit down when you're like that, your recovery rate goes up // Press the L and R buttons at the same time Ku: Really well done, she said... // This is too well done ... // It's like we're actually there SFX: doki doki
17 If... // If we were really able to become lovers
18 Surely, it would be just like this...
19 Shiba-chi: Ah! ... / Guaaaaa!! Eri: Why are you writhing all of a sudden? Shibachi: It-It's from the "real" side (What happened to me...) // There's nothing I can do about it... Box: Reality Mom: (Change your clothes, too // Stop playing that game ) Shibachi: (Ah!! But we're still at a good part) Shibachi: I'm going to have to disband us here for today, but... Eri: We've been neglecting our homework anyhow, right? Shiba-chi: So, let's close it here? (you hit the nail on the head...) Everyone?
20 Shiba-chi: Sorry for today // Even though I invited you so selfishly, you kept such a good atmosphere for hanging out. / Thank You. Shiba-chi: Since this made me really happy / I think that I would like for us to do something together that all of you want to do, as well. Shiba-chi: Therefore / If you guys don't think you want to play again tomorrow, we could put the game aside for now. (Note: working on understanding last clause) Eri: Even though your eyes are so dazzled by their rare item! This is a surprise! (Rain tomorrow?) Shibachi: Silence, dog Shibachi: What do you think, Eri? Eri: I don't really care either way Shibachi: Then, Matsubara-chan? Ku: Huh? / Ah...
21 Ku: Hey / Hey / Natsu what do you... Ku: .. think we should do? Text: Ah, that's right / I'm the only one being affected by these graphics / It's like this for me, but for her...
22 Text: It's not a reason for Natsu to want to continue to play the game... Ku: Either way is fine by me, too / I leave it to you, Natsu Natsu: OK / In that case... Natsu: Let's continue // playing the game!!
23 Natsu: I was able to marry Ku with this pretty ring / We're both girls, but it doesn't feel awkward // We love each other
24 Natsu: Isn't this... // great? Ku: Huh...?!?
25 Annerose: Then, thanks for coming! See you tomorrow!! (Congratulations, me!) Maltese: Thanks for coming (you said it) Message: Annerose has logged out / Maltese has logged out Ku: A-Ah... Natsu: Shiba-chi says she'll plan to do something else with us / But we've already been able to make up (Thanks to you, Ku!) Natsu: But the time passed so quickly!! / We should log out too... Natsu: Ku??
26 Natsu: Huh?! // Ah... / Ah!!! // That's right, what I said earlier
27 Natsu: It's not really true, I know, that we love each other / That’s.. // really just a thing in the game. Natsu: There's no way it could be real, ya know? Marrying each other, Ku... Natsu: If you don't like it... / I mean, as long as it doesn't bother you, then I'm fine with it.
28 Ku: Sorry for keeping you so late Natsu: Don't worry about it. Be careful on your way home. Text: I understand Text: this sort of thing, right? // I've warned myself about this many times, right? Text: Not to ask for anything. Text: Not to hope for anything! SFX: Gu-

33 Ku: Just the two of us, like lovers. Natsu: Sure, Haha // Are you addicted to the game, Ku? Text: Even though I understand // this fiction could never come true Text: If I don't do this // It seems like I'll crumble apart... Natsu: Maybe Text(at the side): Even though it is a wish that won't come true...
