Chat (Player)
*[Player] Morning, Ryu. I brought breakfast.
**[Ryu] Oh, how thoughtful of you! Thanks!
** [Player] Yeah, it's the ganmodoki that Astro likes. I bought it from that delicious tofu shop.
** [Ryu] You're giving me what Astro likes for breakfast?
* [Player] What's wrong, Ryu? You seem a little down.
** [Ryu] That's not even possible... but I got into a little argument.
** [Player] Ugh... would you and Devin get along already?
** [Ryu] No, this has nothing to do with Devin... Why was I even arguing with an animal so early in the morning?
* [Player] *yawn*~, I feel sleepy for some reason...
** [Ryu] What a yawn. Didn't get enough sleep?
** [Player] It's not that... but can I take a power nap?
** [Ryu] Don't tell me your going to sleep here.
* [Player] You're pretty good friends with Devin right, Ryu?
** [Ryu] Good friends? Hmm... well, we don't really argue.
** [Player] You're like siblings. Devin is the older brother, and you're the younger brother.
** [Ryu] He lectures often eats a ton... Oh, what a wonderful brother to have!
* [Player] Did you know that a sweets store opened up near here?
** [Ryu] Ah, the one where they use ice cream? I went there not too long ago.
** [Player] eh, you did? I'm surprised how familiar you are with what's trending.
** [Ryu] It wasn't of my free will... That dessert loving fiend dragged me to it.
* [Player] *sigh* ...I'm hungry.
** [Ryu] Wanna go eat something then? It's on me.
** [Player] Really? Thanks. Let's see, what am I hungry for~?
** [Ryu] Anything you want is fine but don't go overboard~?
* [Player] Did you oversleep, Ryu?
** [Ryu] No way. You already know I'm a morning person.
** [Player] I asked cause you still have bed hair...
** [Ryu] Seriously?!
* [Player] Hey. When you're at work, what is Devin doing?
** [Ryu] Huh? He's mostly at home. Though, he seems to go out from time to time.
** [Player] It must be nice to have someone keep watch over things at home for you.
** [Ryu] I would much rather if he got a job to earn some money.
* [Player] Huh? Ryu, are you going somewhere?
** [Ryu] Yeah, I'm going to work! I'm working somewhere new starting today.
** [Player] That's cool. What kind of job is it?
** [Ryu] A tofu shop. It looks like fun. Plus, I can learn how to make ganmodoki while I'm at it.
* [Player] What's good for breakfast tomorrow?
** [Ryu] Hm, it doesn't really matter much to me. I can pretty much eat whatever!
** [Player] Eh? Why are you talking about what you like, Ryu? I was asking myself!
** [Ryu] Whoa, whoa! It's your fault for asking it the way you did!
* [Player] Hm? Where are you going so late?
** [Ryu] I'm um... yeah, just going to the park. I feel I need to move around.
** [Player] So that means you're going to practice your lines? Well, good luck! I'm pulling for you.
** [Ryu] Yeah, thanks!
* [Player] You're not looking so good, Ryu.
** [Ryu] Ah, yeah... I'm just really tired... I could be coming down with something.
** [Player] Oh, no! Who's going to take care of Astro and Devin?
** [Ryu] You know, it wouldn't kill you to worry about me a little.
* [Player] You always look busy, Ryu... Where do you find the time to have fun?
** [Ryu] I make breakfast, go to work, rehearse my lines... after I eat dinner, it's back to work...
** [Player] No time to have fun, I see... You won't get a girlfriend being that busy, you know?
** [Ryu] Sh-shut it! Leave me alone!!
* [Player] Good evening, Ryu.
** [Ryu] Hm? Why are you up so late?
** [Player] I smelled something good... So I was wondering what you were making~.
** [Ryu] You're already salivating! ... Fine. I was making my bento. Do you want me to make one for you, too?
* [Player] You're always lively in the mornings, Ryu.
** [Ryu] I owe it all to being well rested.
** [Player] Huhu, you do like to keep an orderly lifestyle, Ryu. Isn't it hard for Devin to adjust to you?
** [Ryu] No, he's better off sleeping...
===Devin===
Chat (Player)
* [Player] That reminds me, what do you eat for breakfast, Devin?
** [Devin] Ryu makes breakfast for me. It's a combination of soft rice along with something called miso soup.
** [Player] Huhu, I see you have a Japanese-style breakfast. How's the taste?
** [Devin] I was a little taken aback when I first saw it.. but it's pretty good. It reminds of somethint I tasted long ago.
* [Player] Morning, Devin. What are you up to?
** [Devin] I'm looking at a map. There's a part of the map that I'm not completely familiar with... Though, this map is hard to read.
** [Player] Uhm... that's cause you're looking at the world map... That may be why.
** [Devin] ...!
* [Player] Do you have a second, Devin?
** [Devin] ...Oh, it's you. What's wrong?
** [Player] I just bought some delicious sweets. I was wondering if you wanted to have them over tea with me.
** [Devin] With me? ...I'll gladly take you up on that offer.
* [Player] Devin, so you and the gang are all gods, right? ...But you seem no different from humans.
** [Devin] Hmm... I suppose compared to angels or spirits, we don't look much different from humans.
** [Player] But you guys are immortal... right?
** [Devin] No... as time passes, we grow old and eventually die. However, compared to humans, it takes a longer time for that to happen.
* [Player] Ah... You were in the middle of eating? Sorry for interrupting.
** [Devin] No, it's fine. ...Why don't you join me?
** [Player] Ice cream? Huhu, looks delicious!
** [Devin] Yeah... I recommend getting the dainagon azuki flavored one.
* [Player] Oh, I see you're not with Ryu today.
** [Devin] Ryu is... at work.
** [Player] Oh, ok. Aren't you bored by yourself.
** [Devin] Not really... You coming by like this something helps.
* [Player] Morning Devin. You're up early.
** [Devin] Yeah, I'm used to it.
** [Player] I'm not a morning persion at all... What's your secret?
** [Devin] Hmm... It's best to sleep when the sun sets and wake up when it raises.
* [Player] Hey, Devin, you have something on your back? I'll take it off for you.
** [Devin] No, leave it...!
** [Player] Just be still. ... Okay, got it! Huhu, it looks like some kind of leaf.
** [Devin] ... Thanks.
* [Player] Evening! The stars were gorgeous outside!
** [Devin] ... Stars?
** [Player] Yeah! I can't help looking up at stars at night after a sunny day... It puts me in such a good mood.
** [Devin] Hm... If you didn't look up at the stars that day... No, never mind.
* [Player] Devin, got a second?
** [Devin] What's wrong? Did something happen?
** [Player] Oh, nothing is wrong. I made something you and Ryu could snack on late at night.
** [Devin] You did? ... Well then, I'll glady accept it.
* [Player] What kind of relationship do you have with Dio and Kagura, Devin?
** [Devin] Hmm... I'll leave it at they're respectable people.
** [Player] Why do you respect them?
** [Devin] Heh... That's a long story, and it looks like we're short on time.
* [Player] Hm? You dropped something, Devin.
** [Devin] Yeah... it's the instructions Ryu left me.
** [Player] Instructions? ... It looks like a shopping list to me. Whoa, your budget is even written on it.
** [Devin] Ryu surely asks for difficult things... He's a regular taskmaster.
* [Player] Astro is really attached to you, isn't he, Devin? Is he your pet or something?
** [Devin] My pet? ... He works for me, but he's not my pet.
** [Player] By work for... do you mean like an aide? Astro seems pretty smart.
** [Devin] Astro understands human language and feelings. You never know, he could be more knowledgeable than even Ryu.
* [Player] Ah, Devin. Were you about to go out?
** [Devin] Yeah, I need to talk to Ryu about something... Have you seen him around?
** [Player] Hm... I haven't... Let's look for him together.
** [Devin] No, it's nothing to worry about. Astro will find him in no time from the air.
* [Player] Hm? Is that... a koto?
** [Devin] Yeah... I haven't played it in a while, though...
** [Player] Aw... I'd love to hear you plat it, Devin.
** [Devin] Hm... if the opportunity arises, someday.
=== Kagura ===
Chat (Player)
* [Player] Huh? What are you doing, Kagura?
** [Kagura] Hm? I'm in the middle of taking apart the speaker I just bought.
** [Player] Eh! Even though you just bought it? Th-that's a waste of money...
** [Kagura] Huhu... I always take what I buy apart and customize it to my liking.
* [Player] Kagura, are you well?
** [Kagura] Of course. And you?
** [Player] I'm feeling good, too!
** [Kagura] Great! Those who are feeling well have a certain radiance to them ♪
* [Player] Ah, Kagura! I'm glad I found you~. I was looking for you.
** [Kagura] For me? Huhu, you like me that much, huh?
** [Player] Th-that's not it... My smartphone has been acting up, so I wanted you to take a look at it! That's your forte, right?
** [Kagura] Aw, that's all~? ... All right then. A request from you is one that I cannot deny.
* [Player] What kind of relationship do you have with Dio and Devin, Kagura?
** [Kagura] Hmm~, what kind of relationship, huh...? Well, we're close, I guess.
** [Player] That was a little ambiguous by your standards, Kagura.
** [Kagura] Ah, that obvious, huh? Huhu, you're pretty sharp~!
* [Player] I was wondering... where do you live, Kagura?
** [Kagura] I live up there, of course.
** [Player] Th-that's not what I meant... Uhm, I mean, your house down here.
** [Kagura] Should I just give you my wallet, too? That's quite bold of you to ask~ ♪
* [Player] Huh? Kagura! Where are you going at this time?
** [Kagura] Ah, I'm was just about to go to buy a new action game.
** [Player] Ah, that flyer... It's The Masked Mongoose and the Ancient Tofu! Wait... doesn't it come out tomorrow?
** [Kagura] Yeah! Lining up the day before the release is what you do down here, right? Isn't that one more thing to look forward to?
* [Player] Hey, do you have any siblings, Kagura?
** [Kagura] Yeah, I have a sister.
** [Player] Really? This is just my imagination running wild, but I bet your sister is beautiful.
** [Kagura] My sister shines brighter than any jewel or star... Huhu, I don't think there is a goddess as beautiful as my sister is.
* [Player] The game you're playing now is the latest smartphone game, right?
** [Kagura] Yeah, that's right. It's a rhythm game and a pretty fun one at that.
** [Player] You're doing one of those events, right... Eh, y-you're ranked first?! And it's not even close!
** [Kagura] Haha, when it comes to stuff like that, don't you want to destroy the competition?
* [Player] You're good at darts right, Kagura? I guess practicing is the only way to get better, huh?
** [Kagura] Hm? You're interested in darts? I can teach you if you want. That's the quickest way ♪
** [Player] U-uhm... that's okay.
** [Kagura] Hmm... I'm pretty confident I can hit anywhere on the dart board, but it seems I'm still far away from piercing your heart.
* [Player] *sigh*...
** [Kagura] What's wrong? It's not like you to let out a sigh.
** [Player] Hmm... Ryu has been annoying as of late... Telling me to do this and that. He's always poking his nose where it doesn't belong.
** [Kagura] It's because he's worried about you, no? Isn't that what a childhood friend does? I have a childhood friend too, so I kinda get it.
* [Player] Morning, Kagura. Are you going anywhere today?
** [Kagura] I am~. I'm thinking about taking a stroll down Electric Town.
** [Player] Do you like being there?
** [Kagura] I do. Don't you get excited looking at electronics? I want to take them apart~.
* [Player] You're pretty cheery in the mornings, Kagura. Are you a morning person?
** [Kagura] You see~... I'm so not a morning person~.
** [Player] S-seriously? Whenever I come over in the mornings, you're up more than you're not, so I thought for sure you were.
** [Kagura] Ah, that just means I haven't slept ♪
* [Player] Ah, I forgot to check the weather forecast... Did you look at it, Kagura?
** [Kagura] Um, the weather forecast predicted rain, but shall I made it sunny for you?
** [Player] Eh? You can do that?
** [Kagura] Of course~! I'm a god, after all ♪
* [Player] Morning, Kagura. Did you eat breakfast already?
** [Kagura] Yeah, I scarfed down plenty of meat this morning~ ♪
** [Player] Eh, this morning?! That's pretty amazing... And you're not feeling bloated?
** [Kagura] Ahahaha, I'm just messing with you! I can't eat such greasy food to start my mornings.
* [Player] Hm? I smell something weird...
** [Kagura] Why hello there ♪ I made soup for breakfast. Won't you have some?

Chat (Player)
* [Player] If there's something that I don't know about Dream Boyfriend whom and what should I ask?
** [Dio] Hmm... for a basic overview, ask Devin. For everything about daily life, ask me. For cognitive stuff, ask Kagura.
** [Player] Wow, I didn't know you had such defined roles.
** [Dio] Well, it's only a guideline. There's a help section within the app. You're better off reading that.
* [Player] Why are you a supporter, Dio?
** [Dio] Because it's my job.
** [Player] You always seem like you're in a bad mood... so I thought you were reluctantly doing it...
** [Dio] It's not like I'm in a bad mood. That's just how I am.
* [Player] You're good friends with Kagura, right?
** [Dio] What nonsense! Who would be friends with that guy?!
** [Player] Doesn't the saying go the more you fight, the closer you are?
** [Dio] I don't remember arguing with him! He just likes to find something wrong with how I think.
* [Player] Is it true that you're good at sewing?
** [Dio] ... What about it?
** [Player] A button came out of my clothes just a minute ago... and I was thinking maybe you could fix it for me.
** [Dio] Surely you could do that yourself! ... If it's a matter of you not knowing how, I'll teach it to you.
* [Player] Cooking is difficult. I want to make something tasty, but I worry about the overall balance.
** [Dio] If you focus soley on the overall balance, whatever you cook has a good chance of tasting bland.
** [Player] How do you usually make your food, Dio?
** [Dio] Jeez... Why don't you figure it out for yourself! ... If you're still stuck, I'll help you out.
* [Player] Evening! Are you here Dio?
** [Dio] Oh, it's just you... You should be asleep by now.
** [Player] ... You don't have to say it like that...
** [Dio] ... You only think that because you were already thinking that.
* [Player] What kind of relationship do you have with Devin and Kagura, Dio?
** [Dio] ... What will that information do you for you?
** [Player] ... I was just curious... Was it something I shouldn't have asked?
** [Dio] There's no reason for you to know, plain and simple. That goes double if it's just to satisfy your curiousity.
* [Player] Wah, I smell something good... Is that grape-flavored sake?
** [Dio] Yeah... It's homemade. You can smell it? You have a pretty good nose.
** [Player] Really? ... Hey, can I get a sip?
** [Dio] It's the virgin kind for you. I don't need you getting all pie-eyed.
* [Player] Here, this is for you. Be sure to eat it, okay?
** [Dio] Hm? ... Are these... pickles?
** [Player] Pickles... Umm, you're close! They're called nukazuke.
** [Dio] Nuka? What's nuka? An ingredient? Explain it more thoroughly.
* [Player] Hey, Dio. Do you have a minute?
** [Dio] What are you doing here?
** [Player] What do you mean what...? I just came to ask you about tomorrow's breakfast...
** [Dio] You could've just called, right? You should be more careful at night! It's dangerous!
* [Player] Morning, Dio. What a great morning!
** [Dio] Oh, morning. ... You're optimistic this morning.
** [Player] Optimistic... I'd much rather you say I'm happy or something.
** [Dio] Hmph... same thing.
* [Player] Morning, Dio. What are you up to?
** [Dio] Can't you tell by looking? I'm preparing breakfast.
** [Player] Wah~, it looks so good! ... I'm starting to get hungry just looking at it.
** [Dio] ... You're a noisy one. I made some for you, too. When you're finished eating, you can be on your way.
* [Player] You seem like you live an orderly life, Dio.
** [Dio] Of course.Maintaining self control is the most basic of basics.
** [Player] Do you mean like waking up with the sun and sleeping when it sets?
** [Dio] ... Not even I do that. That wouldn't work in this day and age, right?
* [Player] *yawn*~, I'm sleepy.
** [Dio] What's with that yawn? You have no decency at all.
** [Player] I went to bed a little late night.
** [Dio] A disordered lifestyle is a sign of a disordered mind. I'll continue to hammer home that message to you.
* [Player] Ah, Dio! Perfect timing... I tried baking bread. Have some if you want.
** [Dio] You did? ... Hmph
** [Player] Don't worry about how flat it looks...
** [Dio] It looks like you didn't activate the yeast long enough. If you want to reduce the time there's a trick to it. I'll show you next time.

* [Player] What food do you like Kaoru?
** [Kaoru] Apple candy!
** [Player] Why do you like apple candy?
** [Kaoru] ... I have a very, very special memory... and it reminds me of that time.
* [Player] You're good at card games right, Kaoru?
** [Kaoru] Yup! Huhu, I've never lost thus far!
** [Player] That's pretty impressive! But you can't gamble, y'know?
** [Kaoru] I wouldn't do that~. I see you like to worry. Huhu...
* [Player] Hey, Kaoru. ... What are you doing?
** [Kaoru] This? I was making a help wanted flyer.
** [Player] There are a lot of part timers here.
** [Kaoru] But they never last long... That's why I need to find more help.
* [Player] Evening, Kaoru. Is the shop still open?
** [Kaoru] Oh, hey. I'm going to close up shop soon... Is there something you wanted to buy?
** [Player] No, I was thinking if the shop was closed we could grab something to eat together.
** [Kaoru] Really?! I'm going to close the shop now! Give me a second!
* [Player] Huh? You didn't close up yet.
** [Kaoru] Yeah, there's something left that I have to do...
** [Player] Do you have to count the inventory? Do you want me to help out?
** [Kaoru] Thanks. I can't have you doing heavy lifting. The sentiment is enough.
* [Player] I can't believe it's already this late~. I also have to go home.
** [Kaoru] Eh... c'mon, stay a little longer... just a little longer!
** [Player] I'll come back tomorrow, okay?
** [Kaoru] But... just a little while longer, please. ... I don't like being all alone.
* [Player] Hey, Kaoru.
** [Kaoru] Hey! Say, do you have any plans after this?
** [Player] Me? Just going home. I have a Boyfriend, after all.

* [Player] I heard the shop was booming today. I heard it from Ryu.
** [Kaoru] Yeah, all thanks to you! Ryu also helping out really saved me.
** [Player] Eh, really? Ryu told me that he was busy practicing his lines...
** [Kaoru] Huhu... it's because Ryu is kind... Huhuhuhu.
* [Player] Morning, Kaoru. I brought breakfast.
** [Kaoru] Really? Why did you bring me breakfast, though?
** [Player] You live by yourself right, Kaoru? I was a little worried if you're properly eating breakfast... Should I have mind my own business?

** [Kaoru] Really? That makes me happy~ ♪ Thanks!
* [Player] *yawn*~... I'm sleepy.
** [Kaoru] Are you alright? Staying up late isn't good for your skin, y'know~?
** [Player] I started watching an interesting romance movie late at night... Before I knew it, I watched the whole thing.
** [Kaoru] Huhu, romance movies are indeed interesting~.
* [Player] The shop sure has a lot in stock.
** [Kaoru] Yup! Meeting the needs of the customers is my job!
** [Player] I was a little surprised to see a bottle of soy sauce, though!
** [Kaoru] Huhu, there other things in stock that you would need for everyday life. I don't have anything raw, though.
* [Player] Can you wake up by yourself in the mornings, Kaoru?
** [Kaoru] Jeez, you're always treating me like a kid~!
** [Player] Sorry, sorry. You're the manager of the shop. Of course you'd be able to get up.
** [Kaoru] ... That's what I want to say, but I'm actually not a morning person. I rely on my alarm clock...

** [Player] Oh... I was just wondering if I'm raising my Boyfriend properly.

** [Player] So that must mean you travel a lot.
** [Zen] I do. Why don't you come with me on my next trip?
* [Player] What kind of things do you like, Zen?
** [Zen] Things I like, huh? I like... someone as beautiful as you are.

** [Zen] Hey! What a lovely morning greeting!
** [Player] A properly delivered greeting helps raise your spirits.
** [Zen] Hahaha, the stuff the youth says is completely different!
* [Player] You're always in high spirits, Zen.
** [Zen] Even though I'm a bit old, I don't plan on handing over the reigns to these youngsters yet!
** [Player] Huhu, I'll have to take down notes.
** [Zen] If that's the case, won't you go on a date with me for a day? I'll tell you my secret.
* [Player] Ah, are you going somewhere, Zen?
** [Zen] Yeah, I was just about to go to my usual spot.
** [Player] Huh? It's still the afternoon, you know?
** [Zen] That's precisely why! I couldn't stop even if I tried!
* [Player] Are you good at disguising yourself, Zen?
** [Zen] Yup. No one can see through my disguise.
** [Player] Really? Wouldn't it be easy to tell it's you because of your physique...?
** [Zen] Heh, that's one flaw in my disguise!
* [Player] Hello, Zen! How are you?
** [Zen] I couldn't be better! I'm off to knock back one. Won't you pour me a drink?

* [Player] *yawn*~, I'm sleepy in the mornings.
** [Zen] Oh, what's wrong? Did you pull an all-nighter?
** [Player] Yes, I did. That's why I'm a litle sleepy today...

**[Player] ... You're pretty impatient, Dio.
**[Dio] Oi, what did you just say?
**[Player] Eh?
**[Dio] How dare you utter such words toward a god! Know your place!
**[Player] ... If you heard the first time, there wasn't a reason to ask me to repeat what I said...
**[Dio] What? So much back talk even after I've warned you as much as I have... You must really want me to correct that behavior.
**[Player] I do not!
**[Dio] Stop back talking and assume the position over there!
**[Player] (Assume the position... Eh? Is he going to try to make me do pushups in the middle of the steet? I-If that's the case...)
**Ah! Kagura is running this way!
**[Dio] Huh?!
**[Player] N-now's my chance...!!

**[Player] I'm not slacking off! I'm buying dinner!
**[Dio] ... What do you plan on making?
**[Player] Uhm... I plan on making omurice, and since the fried chicken was cheap, I bought quite a bit.
**[Dio] ...*sigh*
**[Player] ... Why did you let out a sigh for that?
**[Dio] What an unbalanced meal. Are you trying to get your Boyfriend sick?
**[Player] Y-you don't have to say it like that...
**[Dio] Plus, where are your vegetables? Are you a one-trick pony?
**Cooking is not simply in the taste but also enjoying it with your eyes. You should try to use different kinds of ingredients.
**[Player] Even so... I usually only make one or two dishes...
**[Dio] Jeez... Listen, the act of eating is to fill your stomach. It's not only to develop your body.
**By feeding your Boyfriend different kinds of food, it'll allow him to have a better appreciation of food in general.
**Since you're raising a Boyfriend, you should be aware of at least that.
**[Player] ... I-I got it.
**[Dio] That sounded like a half-hearted reply. Whatever, let's go.
**[Player] Eh? Where are we going?
**[Dio] To buy more ingredients. I'm a little wary about leaving everything in your hands, so I'll pick them out myself.

**[Dio] Oi! Are you deaf or something, human?!
**[Player] Ack! Scared me to death... You don't have to be so loud...
**[Dio] That's cause no matter how many times I called out to you, you never responded.
**[Player] Oh... I'm sorry. Sorry I was looking for something...
**[Dio] ... Are you possible looking for this?
**[Player] Ah, my phone! Where did you find it?
**[Dio] It was when you were sohpping on the strip mall. You left without realizing you dropped it, right?
**[Player] Ah, it happened when I was paying... Thanks a lot!
**[Dio] Jeez! You're always causing me trouble. You're such a ditz of a human.
**[Player] You don't have to say it like that... You're too prideful, Dio.
**[Dio] What did you say? I take pride in being a god. Tell me what's wrong with that?
**[Player] There's nothing wrong with being prideful... but in your case, Dio, you impose your will too much.
**With the way you're acting, no one will show you respect even if you ask for it.
**[Dio] ...! Just as I thought. You don't see me as a god, either. Hmph... get off your high horse, human!
**[Player] Ah, Dio!

**[Player] Ah, okay... Thanks.
**[Dio] ...
**[Player] You look like you're in a bad mood. Did you and Kagura get into a fight, perhaps?
**[Dio] It wasn't a fight. I'm just tired of being manipulated by his shady actions.
**[Player] Uhm... Kagura doesn't seem to have any ill will toward you, Dio. I wonder why you guys bump heads so much?
**[Dio] No ill will? ... Ha! His very existence evil, that god of pestilence!
**[Player] God of pestilence... You don't have to go that far...
**[Dio] ... Sorry. I got a little bit hot headed.
**[Player] No, it's fine...
**[Dio] I know the problem. My problem with him maybe because I feel inferior.
**[Player] Inferior?
**[Dio] ... No, even I talk to you about this, it'll change nothing.

**[Dio] Do you want me to? ... You're definitely a strange one.
**[Player] Th-that's not really what I meant...
**(Dio seems a little strange... I wonder if it's cause he hasn't patched things with Kagura yet.)
**[Dio] ... About what we were takling about earlier...
**[Player] Eh?
**[Dio] The fact that Kagura and I are polar opposites will not change, but that doesn't mean I hate him.
**He's always been a genius. He's always excelled at everything, which is why he garnered a lot of trust from the people around us.
**But you see, I'm not a genius. No matter how much I try, I can't do better than him.
**I don't know if you knew that or not, but that's why I acted the way I did... I know it's immature.
**[Player] So that's what it was... There are plenty of things that only you excel at, Dio.
**I mean, your cooking is delicious, and you're good at sewing! And you're a straight arrow. I'm sure not even Kagura can beat that!
**[Dio] ... Is that supposed to be a compliment? Jeez. I can't understand people like you.
**[Player] But why did you suddenly tell me? You said nothing would change the last time...
**[Dio] Who knows... I'm not even sure why.
**[Player] Huhu... interesting. It makes me happy that you chose to open up.
**[Dio] Wha...! Why are you happy! And it's not like... you know... I opened up or anything!

** Wh-why you ask? You little! You intend on making me say it, huh? How shameful!

*[Player] H-huh...?
*[???] Not "huh"! "Hey"! What are you staring up into space for?!
*[Player] ......?
*[???] Are you sleepwalking or something? Hello~? Anybody home~? Can you even tell me your name?
===Prologue 2===
Ryu
*[???] Well at least you remember your name, that's something. We can start from there I guess.
*Do you know who it is you're talking to right now?
*[Player] ... Ryu?
*[Ryu] The very same! It's not easy to forget a great friend like me, I'm sure. No matter how hard you try! Haha.
*[Player] ... What are you even saying? You're losing your mind, Ryu.
*[Ryu] Me?! You're the one sleepwalking and talking to the stars! If anyone's losing their mind it's---
*... You're not even listening! Who pulls out their phone when their best friend in the world is trying to have a conversation?
*[Player] I am listening. I just wanted to get a picture of this beautiful night sky while I can.
*[Ryu] The sky? Now you mention it... there do seem to be a lot more stars than usu--- Hmm?
*W-wait, hold up... Something's not right... ... Are those stars over there moving?
*[Player] Don't be crazy, Ryu. I mean... there really are a lot of them, and they do look---
*No way... You're right, they are moving! Is there supposed to be a shooting star passing by today?
*[Ryu] I don't think that's a shooting star... It's a whole meteor shower!
*[Player] Wow...! I've got to get a picture of this online, everyone's gonna freak!

*[Ryu] Maybe I'm just losing my mind. Maybe I'm the one sleepwalking right now!
*[Player] Ryu!!
*[Ryu] Ack! What? There's no need to---
*[Player] Something's wrong with my phone... There's this app open that I've never seen before, and I can't seem to close it...
*[Ryu] Huh? Man, you really had me worried for a minute there! Can't you just reboot it or something?
*Hmm...  "Dream Boyfriend: Astral Days"? It's asking you to set up some kind of character.
*[Player] Is it some kind of game, maybe? I don't remember downloading it though...
*[Ryu] You probably did it while you were sleepwalking back there. Maybe I did too.
*[Player] Neither of us are sleepwalking, Ryu! Stop being a doofus.
*[Ryu] A doofus? Who says doofus any more? Maybe this doofus doesn't feel like helping you any more!
*[Player] Aww, I'm sorry I'm sorry! Please, help me fix this stupid phone!
*[Ryu] Haha, well, if you're really gonna beg...
*Try making a character, see if it moves. Sometimes you just gotta do what these apps say.
*[Player] Hmm... I guess I can try.
===Prologue 3===
Devin
*[Ryu] Oh man, not again! The light, it's so bright!
*[Player] Ryu? Ryu~?
*[Ryu] I-is it gone? Can I open my eyes?
*[Player] Whew... Yeah, it's gone.
*[Ryu] First the meteors, now this phone of yours... What did you do?!
*[Player] Me? I didn't do anything!
*[Ryu] ... There is something else that's been bugging me though.
*[Player] What?
*[Ryu] Who is that? Beside you.
*[Player] Huh?
*[???] ......
*[Player] (Wait... Am I seeing things...? Is this not the character I just created on my phone...?
*[Ryu] Is he a friend of yours? I feel like I've met him before... like, really recently, too...
*[Player] Ryu... I think he's---
*[???(Devin)] He's your Dream Boyfriend.
*[Player] Huh?
*[???(Dio)] Oi, is this really okay? I don't think this person even understands what's going on.
*[???(Devin)] ......
*[Player] (Who are these people...?)
*[???(Kagura)] Oh stop it, you two. You're scaring the poor thing!
*I'm sorry, did these two big meanies frighten you?
*[Player] U-umm...
*[Kagura] Oh, right! Where are our manners? Introductions first, of course. My name's Kagura.
*This gloomy guy right here is Devin.
*[Devin] ......
*[Kagura] The loudmouth over there is Dio.
*[Dio] Who do you think you're speaking to?! Watch your tongue, Kagura!
*[Kagura] ... See what I mean?
*[Player] Ahaha...
*[Ryu] ... Okay. I mean, thanks for the lively introductions and all, but... can we help you with something, or...?
*[Kagura] Well, now that you mention it... we have kind of a favor to ask of you.
*[Player] A favor...?
*[Kagura] See, the thing is, we're actually all... gods. Like, from heaven.
*[Ryu] Uh-huh. I mean if you've just come to tell us fairy tales then I think I might head home.
*[Kagura] Yeah. I really am telling the truth though so... maybe hear me out until the end?
*We've got a bit of a problem up there, in the skies. We're running out of gods.
*So we decided we'd make an app. An app that can, basically, create new ones for us.
*[Player] An app? Wait, sure not...?
*[Kagura] Dream Boyfriend: Astral Days, the very app you've found on your phone today.
*[Player] So does that mean... this man here, he really is the one I created just now...?
*[Kagura] Exactly right. We like to call them Boyfriends. It makes things much easier all round.
*He may have come out of a phone app, but he's no hologram.
*You can chat with him, play with him, anything you like. Go ahead, touch him. He's entirely real.
*[Player] ... Is he a god too?
*[Devin] Technically speaking, not yet. But he will be.
*[Player] Will he?
*[Kagura] Yeah, and you're gonna help him!
*[Player] I am?!
*[Devin] You are. You're the only one who can. Will you accept this mission?
*[Kagura] What, spending each and every day sharing a roof with a handsome guy like this? Who wouldn't accept?!
*[Ryu] W-wait, wait a minute!
*So this "mission" is to spend an unspecified length of time living with a god-to-be who just popped out of a phone app?!
*[Kagura] Haha! Well when you put it like that... Yes, you're exactly right.
*[Player] Hmm...
*[Kagura] Tell me, what was it you were thinking as you looked up at the stars tonight? Do you remember?
*[Player] (I... I wanted something to come and change my life forever... Does he know...?)
*(Maybe they really are gods. I mean, they made a man out of game data...)
*[Ryu] You're not actually thinking of accepting, are you?
*[Player] I...
*I'll do it!
*[Ryu] You'll what?!
*[Player] It's a favor for the gods, Ryu! How can I possibly turn it down?!
*[Devin] Thank you. We really appreciate it.
*[Kagura] Don't worry, it'll be so easy. I promise.
*There's not a lot to your Boyfriend right now. He doesn't quite have a "self" yet.
*Your interactions, your communication, and most of all your love, will shape him into the god he will become.
*[Devin] And we'll be here to support you.
*[Kagura] Exactly right. We'll always be nearby to help with anything you need.
*[Player] Okay... Okay! Thank you!
*[Kagura] ... I think that's about all, isn't it? Dio, anything else to add?
*[Dio] Hmm... No.
*Just remember, he relies on you. If you fail, he fails. So do not fail!
*[Player] Wow... What do I do now?
*[Ryu] You're asking me?! I dunno, try... talking to him, or something.
*[Player] Yeah... Yeah, let's try talking. Ahh, I'm getting so nervous...
===Prologue 4===
Devin
*[] And with that, a routine was broken, and a life changed forever...
*[] The next morning...
*[Player] It's hard to believe all that really happened yesterday...
*They even took [Boyfriend] away with them in the end anyway.
*Maybe... It was all just a dream?
*[] *ding dong*
*[Player] Just a second~! I'm coming~!
*[Devin] We've brought your Boyfriend.
*[Player] I-it's you! From my dream! I-I mean, from yesterday! And [Boyfriend]...!
*[Devin] We're here to explain things again, in a little more detail this time.
*[Ryu] Hey woah, I'm here too y'know!
===Prologue 5===
Kagura
*[Kagura] There are a lot of different Traits, and the different Types available will need different amounts to unlock.
*[Devin] Always increase Traits with a target Type in mind. There's no better way.
*Once he gets a new Type, things will change. His behavior, his attitude, even the very way he speaks.
*[Kagura] Exactly right. Understand so far?
*[Player] (A whole new personality type for [Boyfriend]... I wonder what I'll choose...)
*I think I've got it. Thank you.
*[Dio] Next we'll change his appearance. ... You could do with paying a little more attention to fashion yourself.
*A good appearance is the first step to becoming a great god. That is just something you must understand.
===Friends & Gods===
Ryu
[Reach Level 5]
*[Ryu] Ah~... I had way too much to do. I'm beat.
*(Forget about me, it was me rough having to look after a god.)
*(To gladly accept the task... I mean, you would normally turn something like that down.)
*It's like an alluring characteristic... That's also one of the things I like...
*[Devin] You're right.
*[Ryu] More important, what are you doing?
*[Devin] You ask weird questions. I came in with you, so that's why I'm here.
*[Ryu] That's not what I meant... *sigh*, I give up... Talking to you is just making me more tired...
*[Devin] That's not good. I've heard that humans are fragile. You should consider resting.
*[Ryu] And just whose fault do you think that is? Just go home already!
*[Devin] I can't go home. I'm here as support to make sure everything goes according to plan.
*[Ryu] Support? ... If you're that worried about it, why don't you guys just do it yourselves?
*[Devin] ... If we could, we would've done it already.
*[Ryu] Eh?
*[Devin] I can't go into details. But it's something only one person can do.
*[Ryu] ... Seems like something complicated.
*But I'm still not convinced! You show up out of nowhere and push your problems onto others... You guys are so selfish!
*[Devin] ... I understand your concerns.
*[Ryu] But... I cannot change what's been decided. There's really no point bringing it up now. I'll do what I can to help.
*[Devin] ... I'm eternally grateful.
===Friends & Gods 2===
Ryu
[Reach Level 10]
*[Devin] Ryu.
*[Ryu] Huh?
*[Devin] Looks like you have someone on your mind.
*[Ryu] What? ... Well, we're childhood friends, after all.
*[Devin] Childhood friends?
*[Ryu] Plus, for someone who's that pure hearted and dense, it's only a matter of time before someone takes advantage of that. I worry about that.
*[Devin] ... I get it.
*[Ryu] ... We're done with this topic!
*More imporant, just how long are you planning on staying here? I have work tomorrow.
*[Devin] Hm, I estimate it's going to get a little rowdy for some time.
*[Ryu] What?! You've got to be kidding me!
*[Devin] This is a nice vantage point. If anything were to happen, I could take care of it swiftly.
*[Ryu] *sigh*... I wouldn't want anything bad to happen, so I guess it can't be helped.
*By the way, do you have a job?
*[Devin] A job? My job is to support the growth of future gods.
*[Ryu] No, that's not what I meant. I was asking if you get an income of some sort.
*[Devin] Income?... I don't have a contract to receive any rewards. I never wanted to receive anything to begin with.
*[Ryu] Unemployed with no source of income! There's no way I can support the both of us!
*[Devin] It will be problematic for me if you don't do something about that.
*[Ryu] Are you really in a position to say that?
===Friends & Gods 3===
Devin
[Reach Level 15]
*[Devin] Good morning, Ryu.
*[Ryu] Ah... Morning. Did you sleep well?
*[Devin] Yes, thanks to you.
*[Ryu] Of course you slept well. I lent you my bed~.
*My neck already hurts from sleeping on the sofa... And my head feels heavy for some reason...
*... Whoa! There's something on my head!
*[Devin] Astro.
*[Ryu] Astro? What's an Astro? ... Is it this thing's name?
*[Devin] Yes, he's Astro. When I came down here, he came with me.
*Astro will help me in my efforts as a supporter. When I'm busy, Astro will go on my behalf.
*[Ryu] Eh, this thing?
*[Devin] Astro is very clever. He doesn't have a language of his own but understands human language and emotions well.
*[Ryu] Really now~... It only sounds like he's making strange noises to me, though.
*[Devin] I guess humans can't read Astro's emotions...
*If you ever want to know what Astro is trying to say, you can ask me or a Boyfriend. He should be able to understand Astro.
*[Ryu] Hmm... that's fine and all. I just want to know why he's on top of my head.
*[Devin] ... It looks like he's hungry.
*[Ryu] R-really? What does he eat anyway?
*[Devin] He wants Ganmodoki.
*[Ryu] ... Are you pulling my leg?
===Kagura & Dio===
Dio
[Reach Level 20]
*[Kagura] Hey, Dio~! Fancy meeting you here. What a coincidence~ ♪
*[Dio] Yeah, whatever. What do you want?
*[Kagura] You're so cold to me, Dio! Aren't we two peas in a pod? We're on the same mission, after all~.
*[Dio] *sigh*... If it wasn't for the orders from above, who in their right mind would work with you...?
*[Kagura] Oh, my~! If I didn't know better, I would think you didn't like me.
*[Dio] Of course I don't!! Why does someone so carefree and dishonest as you have the same status as me?!
*[Kagura] Whoa, whoa! At ease, soldier.
*More imporant, the one we chose is doing pretty well, wouldn't you say?
*[Dio] Why you! Not only do you do no work, but you're also lusting after someone now?
*[Kagura] No, that's not what I meant! The human, the one in charge of the Boyfriend.
*[Dio] ... That human, eh. You should've just said that from the start.
*[Kagura] I was planning on saying that, but you said something before I had the chance.
*It's cause you're so impatient, Dio~.
*[Dio] It's your fault for being so slow getting to your point!
*... That human, eh. You should've just said that from the start.
*However, the human is not worthy enough to handle everything, so I'm going to make Devin watch over things.
*[Kagura] Eh? You're going make Devin do that, Dio?
*[Dio] That's his job. ... It'll be beneficial for him as well.
*[Kagura] ... You're right. It's about time Devin matured a little more himself.
*Don't push him too hard, okay~? You're a real taskmaster~.
===At The Astral Shop===
Kaoru
[Reach Level 25]
*[Kaoru] Ah! Welcome!
*[Devin] Sorry, is the owner here?
*[Kaoru] I'm the owner. Well, acting owner, anyway.
*[Devin] ...? I see.
*[Kaoru] Can I help you with something?
*[Devin] Where can I get more of this "Dream Boyfriend" merchandise?
*[Kaoru] Ahh! Are you from a rival shop? Did you come to spy on me?!
*[Devin] No... tht's not it.
*[Kaoru] Hmph! Sorry, but that's a trade secret ♪
*[Devin] ... Why do you know of their existence?
*[Kaoru] Why you ask? Everyone is talking about it, y'know? That and the fact you're trying to increase the number of people who can help more Boyfriends.
*That. Is. Why. I'm in business. I want to support the people who are raising Boyfriends.
*At the same time, I wouldn't mind making a profit ♪ My main focus is helping, of course!
*[Devin] ... I get it.
*[Kaoru] But they sure are strange~.
*There's no way to tell something is off by looking at them. I'll see the same Boyfriend with a different hairstyle... and their personality sometimes is, too.
*Them coming out of an app is also very modern~!
*[Devin] Yeah... you're right.
*[Kaoru] Their popularity is increasing! That's what makes it a very lucrative market, so I don't talk to competitors!
*[Devin] I told you... I'm not from a rival shop.
===Innocent Bystander===
Zen
[Reach Level 30]
*[Ryu] ... Ah!
*[Zen] How's it going, squirt?
*[Ryu] You're that stalker guy!
*[Zen] Stalker? What a way to greet someone.
*[Ryu] I'm only speaking the truth.
*You know those self-proclaimed god trio, right? ... You have the same aura as them.
*[Zen] Hahaha! You're not wrong, that's for sure!
*[Ryu] Why are you laughing?
*[Zen] By the way, I heard that you're taking care of Devin.
*[Ryu] I'm not exactly doing it because I want to. He pretty much forced himself in!
*[Zen] If you don't like, why not just kick him out?
*[Ryu] ... If I were to do that, he would have no place to go. He doesn't even have a penny to his name.
*[Zen] To think that someone would care so much for someone who calls themselves a god and doesn't talk much... You're an honorary squirt.
*You and the one we've chosen are all right... It seems that there are a lot of kindhearted people here.
*[Ryu] Eh?
*[Zen] No, it's nothing!
*Squirt! Devin is someone you can trust. I guarantee it.
*[Ryu] Coming from you, th--- Wait, I can't even trust you!
*[Zen] Hahaha! You have a point!
*[Ryu] That's what I mean! There's nothing to laugh about!
===Astral Project===
Kagura
[Reach Level 35]
*[Zen] Kagura.
*[Kagura] What's wrong, gramps? It's pretty rare for you to come to a guy's place~.
*[Zen] Hahaha, I see you haven't changed a bit!
*[Kagura] I guess. So, I assume you came because you want something?
*[Zen] Yeah, I have something to tell you.
*... The chess pieces are all in place.
*Now we can start the "Astro Project."
*[Kagura] ... It's going to finally begin, huh?
*Do you want me to tell Dio?
*[Zen] No, not yet. It isn't time for him to know yet.
*[Kagura] Understood. ... Leaving the dirty work to me, huh?
*[Zen] Sorry about that.
*[Kagura] It's fine. I'm already used to it~ ♪
*[Zen] That's all. Good luck!
*[Kagura] ... Huhu, as you wish.
*[Ryu] ... Are you kidding me?
*They disappeared... They're not just self-proclaimed gods? Are you telling me they're actual gods...?
===Astral Project 2===
Ryu
[Reach Level 40]
*[Ryu] ... I'm home.
*[Devin] You're late, Ryu.
*I've already made dinner. It looks like I left it on the stove for too long, but it's still edible.
*I know you showed me how to use the stove, but it's still a little difficult for me. I need more practice.
*[Ryu] Devin.
*[Devin] What's the matter?
*[Ryu] Are you really a god?
*I saw it. I saw Kagura and Zen disappear into thin air with my very own eyes!
*And what's a "Astro Project"? You better not be planning to do anything weird to my childhood friend!
*[Devin] Calm down. You're asking too many questions.
*[Ryu] ... I'm sorry. But...!
*[Devin] ... Ryu, do you beliebe in the existence of gods?
*[Ryu] I mean... seeing people disappear before your eyes, changes things...!
*[Devin] That's not what I mean. I don't mean what you see, have seen, hear, or have heard. Deep down, do you believe?
*[Ryu] Well...
*[Devin] That's fine. You don't have to outright believe. ... You just have to believe in yourself.
*[Ryu] ... Yeah, you're right.
*[Devin] Did you calm down a bit? All right, I'll answer your questions.
*It's going to take a while. Do you have the time?
*[Ryu] ... I do.
===Astral Project 3===
Devin
[Reach Level 45]
*[Ryu] Just what is a Boyfriend exactly? I heard that they're supposed to be nurtured to become an actual god or something like that.
*[Devin] ... That's right. A Boyfriend is the state before one actually becomes a god.
*The point is to come down here and experience various things and become a sincere god.
*[Ryu] That's what I don't understand. A god doesn't start off as a god?
*[Devin] There are gods like that. Ordinarily, a Boyfriend must be worthy and have many achievements before they are given actual god status.
*[Ryu] Are you serious...? There's a requirement to become a god? It's stricter than I thought.
*[Devin] Because of the advancements of the civilization down here, it became difficult to accumulate the necessary merits.
*That's when we decided to change the standard of how one becomes a god.
*Can a Boyfriend build a relationship based on trust living with a human? Can he awaken the self-awareness necessary to become a god?
*[Ryu] Is that... the "Astro Project"?
*[Devin] That's right. There other types of standards, but we'll leave those for another time.
*[Ryu] ... There's one more thing that has been bugging me.
*Why choose an app? Wouldn't it be more fitting for a god to come down from the sky or something?
*[Devin] It was just easier that way.
*Using an app, it's easier for us to both manage a Boyfriend and provide support to his partner.
*There are many humans who carry "cellphones." There is nothing more convenient.
*[Ryu] That makes sense... Gods sure think about a lot of stuff.
*Wait, so does that mean as long as you have a cellphone you can do it? So I could have one, too?
*[Devin] It'd be impossible for you.
*[Ryu] That was quick!
===Conjecture===
Ryu
[Reach Level 50]
*[Ryu] *sigh* I'm beat. Swinging a sword nonstop sure is rough... My body is so sore...
*(Don't tell you know who about the "Astro Project." It would only do more harm than good is what Devin said, but...)
*(I just have to play the supportive role I've been doing! Yeah, that's what I'll do)
*... Hm?
*[Schoolgirl 1] Hey, hey, do you know "Dream Boyfriend: Astral Days"?
*[Schoolgirl 2] I totally do! I mean, I alreay have a Boyfriend at my place!
*[Schoolgirl 1] No way! They're super popular, right?! The other day my friend...
*[Ryu] (When I think about it, I have been seeing a lot of Boyfriends around town lately... And more and more people are visiting the shop.)
*(It's probably because it's an app people are checking it out... Hm?)
*... Why is it an app?
*(As Devin said, it could be the convenience of being able to manage everything...)
*(If someone were to spread the news on the Internet, those who are interested would definitely get it...)
*(Would Devin and company hand over someone so impotant to my childhood friend?
*Maybe they're mass producing gods for their army! Or maybe an invasion of earth...
*... That's no laughing matter!
*(The Boyfriends started appearing recently... Just the other day...)
*... Zen mentioned the Astro Project!
*(Does this mean something other than what I heard from Devin... has started?)
*(That group of gods is full of characters. Even if I ask them straight up, there's no guarantee they'll give me an answer.)
*... I just hope my childhood friend doesn't get dragged into anything crazy.
===Diffusion===
Dio
[Reach Level 55]
*[Ryu] (Huh... That person over there is...)
*[Dio] ... Hm? Who are you?
*[Ryu] Wha... I see you every now and then. Do you have amnesia or something...
*[Dio] What did you say? You better watch how you talk to me, Ryu!
*[Ryu] So you do remember who I am...
*(What to do... Should I try asking him about the "Astro Project"? I don't it'll be easy getting answer out of him.)
*Dio, I want to ask you something about the "Astro Project"...
*[Dio] ... You heard about it from Devin, huh?
*[Ryu] Ah~, yeah.
*I understand why you want Boyfriends to become actual gods, but I don't get the reason for mass producing them.
*[Dio] ... Mass produce? What are you talking about?
*[Ryu] Oi oi, don't try to play dumb! You're planning on spreading the word about your app using the Internet to increase the number of Boyfriends.
*[Dio] Nonsense! That app will only appear to those whom we've deemed worthy!
*And second! The server used by the app is a special one. You humans shouldn't be able to access it!
*[Ryu] But it's the truth. When I searched for it, there were many posts about people being able to gain access from a certain web address.
*And... I don't know if this is related or not, but I heard ol' man Zen say, "We're going to start the Astro Project."
*It all started then. That's when the app went viral.
*... Are you sure you don't know anything about it?
*[Dio] Whatever! Even if I did, I'm not obliged to tell you!
*[Ryu] (He doesn't seem to be lying... What in the world is going in? Even within the gods, there are those who know and those who don't...?)
===Barriers===
Kagura
[Reach Level 60]
*[Dio] So this is where you were, Kagura.
*[Kagura] Hm~? Why do you look so upset, Dio?
*[Dio] Why you! You hid something from me!
*[Kagura] Wait! Calm down~! What happened?
*[Dio] The "Dream Boyfriend: Astral Days" program was overwritten.
*The partner verification system isn't functioning, and a very large unidentified number of people are able to access the game.
*And get this, it's being magnificently protected by a firewall... It's your doing, isn't it, Kagura?
*[Kagura] Oh my~, Dio! I'm your childhood friend, but I get the feeling that you don't trust me~.
*[Dio] That's precisely the reason why! I know you very well... I also know you're one to try to do everything yourself!
*[Kagura] ... I'm sorry, Dio. But I can't tell you yet.
*The order comes from the one above all.
*[Dio] ...!
*Why... Why was the order given to not to tell me? Am I... that untrustworthy?
*[Kagura] Dio, that's not...
*[Dio] Whatever...! I'm leaving!
*[Kagura] Dio... You're a prideful person. You take a lot of pride in being a god, which isn't a bad thing... but.
*Throughout history... it's been a vicious cycle of gods destroying humans and humans destroying gods. We want to put an end to that.
*I want to go beyond the fence that's holding these two races back.
*You probably wouldn't accept that... So that's why just wait. Just wait a little longer...
===Second Visitor===
Devin
[Reach Level 30]
*Devin] ... Sorry for calling you out like this. Is it all right if I talk about something?
*Your Boyfriend appears to be coming along quite well... It seems we weren't mistaken in choosing you.
*It's because of that we would like you to raise another Boyfriend.
*If you go to the Boyfriend Status in your app and add a Bofriend... your second Boyfriend will come to your side.
*Whether you do it or not is up to you, but I ask that you please think about it.
*... I'll leave things in your capable hands.
===Third Visitor===
Kagura
[Reach Level 60]
*[Kagura] Hiya, honey! It must be fate meeting you here~ ♪
*Just kidding~. I was actually looking for you. There's something I wanna ask you.
*Everything seems all right with your Boyfriend. I wouldn't expect anything less!
*I want you to raise another Boyfriend... What do you say? Wanna try?
*I made it so that if you add a Boyfriend from the Boyfriend Status menu, you'll be able to add your third one.
*I'm not forcing you to do it, but I ask you consider it.
===Reset===
Dio
[Reach Level 65]
*[Dio] ...
*[Kaoru] Oh? What's wrong, Dio? Are you looking for something?
*[Dio] No, I wasn't really looking for anything...
*[Kaoru] Really? I thought for sure you came to the shop to look at Dream Boyfriend merchandise.
*[Dio] ... Dream Boyfriend, huh.
*[Kaoru] Is everything all right? Is that not going well?
*[Dio] That's not something a kid like you should be talking about!
*[Kaoru] Whoa...! D-don't get so upset...
*[Dio] ...! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
*... Sorry. It's just me venting.
*[Kaoru] ... I understand.
*I'm running this shop, after all. There are plenty of things that don't go my way!
*I've stressed out about stuff and tried many things. There are times when it just doesn't go well.
*[Dio] Kaoru...
*[Kaoru] ... When that happens, why don't you hit the reset button?
*[Dio] ... Reset button?
*[Kaoru] Yup! I think it's okay to start from the very beginning.
*For example...
*Gather up all of the Boyfriends up until this point and restart the process.
*[Dio] ...! There's no way that could be done...!
*[Kaoru] Actually, I've been a little interested in the whole thing... I mean, I get a lot of Boyfriend customers.
*How do I put it. They're not really god-like. It feels like they've been coddled.
*[Dio] ...
*[Kaoru] Ah, that was only an example before, okay? I don't fully understand these difficult things.
*Anyway, it's all up to you, Dio.
*[Dio] ... Restart the Astro Project, huh?
*... No. If only I could get rid of it... Or maybe...
===Message===
Ryu
[Reach Level 70]
*[Ryu] Yo! Sorry for suddenly barging in.
*[Player] No, it's fine.
*[Ryu] Ah, [Boyfriend] isn't here?
*[Player] He's at work right now... Did you need something from [Boyfriend]?
*[Ryu] Not really. I just wanted to ask him something...
*... Ah, thinking about it, there's no way [Boyfriend] would know about the Astro Project. If he did...
*[Player] Hm? What are you talking about?
*[Ryu] Ah, um... nothing at all!
*More important, your phone's been ringing.
*[Player] Ah, it's probably a messeage. It's probably a couopon or something like th---.
*... Eh?
*[Ryu] Hm, what's wrong?
*[Player] Ryu, this message...!
*[Ryu] Let me see... "Thank you for playing Dream Boyfriend: Astral Days."
*A crucial system error has been found. As such...
*We will be recalling all Boyfriends. Wh-what?
*[Player] What in the world is going on? What's going to happen to [Boyfriend]?
*[Ryu] There's no use asking me...!
*L-let's just calm down first! They would know for sure!
*Devin should be home right now. Let's go see him.
*[Player] Okay...!
===Powerless===
Devin
[Reach Level 75]
*[Ryu] Devin! ... I'm glad you're here!
*[Devin] Ryu... I see you brought a friend as well...
*[Ryu] Oi, what's with that message?! What in the world happened?
*[Player] What about [Boyfriend]...? Will he disappear?
*[Devin] ... I'm not sure myself.
*[Ryu] Wha?! What do you mean you don't know?
*[Devin] But the Astro Project has been put on hold... That much is true.
*[Player] But... why? I've been doing all I could up until this point.
*[Devin] Putting it on hold was Dio's idea. If you want to know why, you should ask him yourself.
*[Ryu] That makes no sense. So you didn't even ask for a reason why? You just said, "Okay, understood."?
*You guys are the ones who pushed raising a Boyfriend onto [Player], and you're going to forcefully take him away?
*[Player] Ryu...
*[Ryu] I've never heard of anything more selfish! And you call yourself a god?!
*[Devin] ...!
*[Player] Ryu, you've said enough!
*[Devin] ... No, he's right.
*[Ryu] Wh-why did you become so timid all of a sudden...?
*[Player] Devin... You don't have to worry about what Ryu said, okay?
*[Ryu] No, you should worry about it. Even if it's jst a little.
*[Devin] ... No, it's fine. Ryu is right. I'm powerless.
*I'm a god who can't even lend a helping to those who are in front of me that need it.
*[Player] Devin...
*[Devin] Is there... something I can do... I'm going to think about it... Give me some time.
*... Thanks.
===Lost===
Dio
[Reach Level 80]
*[Dio] It won't be long now before the firewall is down...
*As long as I make the recall program and implement it... all should be good.
*I do feel bad partners will be separated from their Boyfriends... but my decision as a god is a just one.
*(As a god... a I really doing the right thing...?)
*...! Kagura, when did you get here...?
*[Kagura] That's not good, Dio. You have to be more aware of your surroundings.
*[Dio] Gahh...!
*If you came to get in my way, I'll make you leave!
*[Kagura] And if I say no?
*[Dio] Why you... I've had enough of you...!
*[Kagura] ... You're torn, aren't you?
*[Dio] ...!
*Torn? Me? ... Don't be foolish!
*... The original goal of the Astro Project was to create a new god to resurrect up there.
*Now look at where we are? Do you think these cowardly, domesticated good for nothings will become a god?
*We'll gather up all of the Boyfriends. We'll make only the humans who can fulfill the mission reraise them... Don't you think that's a more fitting way?
*[Kagura] No, Dio. You're wrong. The real goal of the "Astro Project" isn't that.
*[Dio] What... did you say...? Explain yourself!
*[Kagura] The Resurrection was only a front to keep the other gods happy.
*The Astral Project was created to re-examine the balance between humans and gods.
===Ryu's Confession===
Ryu
[Part of the April Fools' Day 2018 Event: Day 1 Login]
*Ryu: Thanks for coming on such short notice.
*You: Nah, it;s all right.
*Ryu: Umm, there's something that I want to ask you...
*You: ...?
*Ryu: We've been friends ever since we were kids, right?
*Ryu: So... we're kinda used to each other...
*Ryu: You don't feel weird... being alone with me at all?
*You: Feel weird? Umm... not really. I feel pretty safe being with you.
*Ryu: I-is that so...
*Ryu: ...Is that cause we've known each for a while?
*You: Yeah... that's probably why.
*Ryu: I don't really like you thinking of me in that way...
*You: Eh...? You don't?
*Ryu: No! That's not what I mean...
*Ryu: I don't want you to think of me as a close friend but as a possible candidate.
*Ryu: That's cause... I like you.
*You: ...!
*You: ...Stop it, Ryu! This is just too embarrassing!
*Ryu: What gives? You're the one who said you'd practice with me, right?
*You: Y-yeah but... I didn't think there would be any romance involved...!
*Ryu: Ohh... yeah... Well, I'm not really used to it, either.
*Ryu: A performer doesn't say I can't!! It's something you'll just have to overcome.
*You: Oof... You're pretty strict as expected, Ryu. Fine, I'll practice with you until we finish.
*Ryu: Hehe, thanks! You're the only person I can ask to help me out with this!
===Devin's First Love===
Devin
[Part of the April Fools' Day 2018 Event: Day 2 Login]
*Devin: I cannot count the number of days that have passed since I met you.
*Devin: It feels as if it was just yesterday...
*Devin: But the memories of the days we spent together have been etched in my brain.
*Devin: Those dream-like days... are what changed me.
*Devin: To be honest, I'm a little surprised I'm this infatuated.
*Devin: You are so beautiful...
*Devin: And you're so sweet... ice cold... melting on my tongue.
*You: Devin... I understand you like ice cream and all... but it has nothing to do with the dialog...
*Devin: I apologize. I got a little carried away for a second there.
*You: Huhu, you really like ice cream, don't you, Devin.
*Devin: Indeed... I haven't found anything that I like more while being down here.
*Devin: I wouldn't mind all of my food being ice cream.
*You: You should eat actual food, too!
*You: Now, you have me all worried... Are you properly eating 3 meals with veggies and meat?
*Devin: Indeed, I eat whatever Ryu makes.
*Devin: I eat an assortment of interesting food, including the crust of bread.
*You: Clearly something you eat when money is tight...!
*You: Ugh... how about I make a bento for you once and a while. You know, to help balance your diet.
*Devin: But... wouldn't that be too much of a load for you?
*You: It won't be a problem if it's just once and while. More so than that, I'm worried about your health, Devin.
*Devin: I see... How nice of you. A heart purer than the others before you.
*Devin: Huhu... You're right up there with ice cream.
*You: (So I still don't beat out ice cream...)
===Kagura's Fondness===
Kagura
[Part of the April Fools' Day 2018 Event: Day 3 Login]
*Kagura: Hey, honey! Over here~!
*You: I'm sorry for being so late! I hope you didn't wait too long...
*Kagura: That's nothing to worry about. I had a blast waiting for you.
*Kagura: Ah, I bought tea not too long ago. Would you like to have some?
*You: Yeah, thanks!
*You: So, what did you want to talk about?
*Kagura: Talk about? Did I say I wanted to talk about something?
*You: Ehh? You called me up yesterday asking me to come to the park cause you had something to talk about.
*Kagura: Ahh, I might've done something like that.
*You: Ugh... Well, let me know what you remember whatever it was.
*Kagura: It could've been that I just wanted to see you, [your name].
*You: Ugh, there you go again teasing me...
*You: (...Wait a second. Did he actually just call me by my name...?)
*Kagura: ...Hm? Did something happen? You're spacing out.
*You: Oh, no... You normally call me honey, so I was taken aback when you called me by my name.
*Kagura: Ah, so you prefer me calling you honey?
*You: Umm... I wouldn't mind if you stopped. It is a little embarrassing. But did something happen?
*Kagura: Is it that surprising? Anyone would want to say the name of the person they like.
*You: Like?!
*Kagura: Yeah, I really like you, [your name].
*You: Umm... Umm...
*Kagura: ...Huhu.
*You: !! Kagura, you're messing with me, aren't you?
*Kagura: Ahaha! I couldn't stop myself cause I knew how you'd take it~.
*Kagura: But that's one of the many things I like about you, honey.
*You: (Ugh...! I always have to pay extra attention when Kagura drops the word like...)
===Dio's Cooking===
Dio

*You: Hey~, I'm coming in...
*(Hm, something smells really good.)
*Dio: ...You;re finally here. Sit.
*You: Hm? It's only you Dio?
*You: I heard I was going to be the guinea pig for a new recipe. I thought for sure it'd be Kagura...
*Dio: If he was here, he would've eaten everything before you got here.
*You: I see... But are you sure you want my input?
*Dio: That's cause I know you're going to give it to me straight.
*Dio: ...Or maybe you lack the vocabulary to eloquently express yourself.
*You: H-how rude!
*Dio: Just hurry up and eat.
*You: Okay... time to dig in.
*You: ...
*You: ...This is pretty good! The taste and smell are a perfect harmony!
*Dio: It's not too salty or anything?
*You: Nope, not at all. It tastes perfect. Huhu, I'm really happy.
*Dio: You have quite the look on your face right now. You could at least be a little discreet.
*You: I mean, it's so good. I wouldn't mind having this every day.
*Dio: ...
*Dio: What...?
*Dio: Wh-what do you mean by what you just said?!
*You: Hmm...? It's exactly as I said...
*Dio: By saying you want to eat my cooking every day, you mean g-g-getting marri---
*Dio: What a shameful thing to say!
*You: Ah, wait, Dio! Where are you going?
*You: (Why did he storm out like that?)
===Married Life With Kaoru===
Kaoru

*You: Okay, I think that does it for stocking the shelves.
*Kaoru: Thanks for helping me out! You were a big help.
*You: Helping you out with that much isn't a problem.
*You: I should get going before it gets too dark.
*Kaoru: Ehhh? You should stay longer~.
*You: But [BF name] is probably waiting for me...
*Kaoru: I hate it... I hate having to eat dinner all alone...
*You: Kaoru...?
*You: (He's still pretty young... and living on his own. Anyone would be lonely...)
*You: ...Okay, how about we eat dinner together then?
*Kaoru: Really? You mean it?
*You: Yup, I do.
*You: (I'll send [BF name] a message later to let him know.)
*Kaoru: Awesome! I have a request. I wanna make curry together!
*You: Okay! How about we go to the grocery store to get ingredients.
*You: (Huhu... It's so cute how Kaoru wants to make curry.)
*Kaoru: Carrots and potatoes, utensils, a futon...
*You: ...Hm?
*Kaoru: Ehehe. It feels like we're married going out like this.
*You: ...Hmm?
*Kaoru: I can't wait to get married to you. When do you think we should hold the ceremony~?
*You: (He'd be perfectly normal if he didn't say stuff like this sometimes...)

*Zen: Gahh~...
*You: Zen, wake up!
*You: (I'm happy he invited me to dinner but falling asleep from drinking too much is a little...)
*You: Zen. C'mon... The restaurant is about to close. We have to hurry up and get out!
*Zen: Hm...?
*You: Wah! What are you doing hugging me in a place like this, Zen...?!
*You: (Wh-what am I going to do... I can't get him off!)
*Zen: Sorry... Could you let me stay like this a little longer...?
*You: Hm...?
*Zen: Hugging you like this... helps calm me down...
*You: (It's rare... for me to see Zen with his guard down...)
*Zen: You're pretty warm...
*You: You too, Zen...
*You: (Smelling all of that alcohol is making my head spin.)
*Zen: Haha... there, there...
*You: Ugh, don't pat my head... like I'm a kid.
*You: (You have no idea... how much my heart is racing...)
*Zen: Aw. c'mon, you don't have to get that upset.
*You: ...Hmm?
*Zen: Do you want a bone? Come on. Come on... *hic*
*You: (He was pretending that I was a dog...)
