## **Story**

* [Player]: It's that big annual one right? I saw it on TV!
* [Ryu]: That's the one! They say this year's is gonna be the biggest one ever!
* [Ryu]: Man, I really hope I get to carry the mikoshi this year!
* [Dio]: Tch... It's just a festival Ryu.
* [Player]: You're going too though, right Dio?
* [Ryu]: Not if he doesn't want to. It's just a festival after all.
* [Player]: You be quiet, Ryu!
* [Dio]: Yeah, well. If you lot go alone you'll probably just end up causing some kind of trouble.
* [Dio]: I guess I'll tag along. To keep watch over you.
* [Player]: Great
* [Ryu]: Pssh. If you really wanna go, just say so!
* Tanabata Festival, just you and your Boyfriend. Hear the tale of two stars passing by in the night... ~Astral Memories Together~ Tanabata Nights.

* [Player]: (But it does look good and goes with the yukata... so maybe it's fine.)
* [Player]: I should leave soon! I'm sure everyone is tired of waiting for me.
* [Dio]: ...!
* [Player]: Wah!
* [Dio]: Don't come out so suddenly like that! You baka!
* [Player]: W-well... I didn't think anyone was out there...
* [Player]: ... Wait, why are you here, Dio...?
* [Dio]: You were taking so long, so I came to check on you.
* [Player]: Ah, sorry about that. Where's everyone else?
* [Dio]: They're drinking tea at a cafe nearby... But if you're done, we should go.
* [Dio]: ... I'd like to return before Zen starts drinking.
* [Player]: Huhu, you do have a point.
* [Dio]: ... You're surprisingly in a good mood.
* [Player]: We're going to a festival. Plus, I have an awesome yukata on.
* [Dio]: Yukata...? Is that what you're wearing called? I thought it was traditional clothes or something.
* [Player]: Yup. You guys should wear it, too.
* [Dio]: ... Hmph, looks like it'd be hard to move in.
* [Player]: Aw, I really think it'd look good on you.
* [Dio]: Don't worry about me. Think about what you're going to do during the festival.
* [Player]: I've already thought about it.
* [Dio]: Really now?
* [Player]: We're definitely gonna go to the food stalls. And maybe target shooting and the lottery stall.
* [Dio]: Food or having fun, huh.
* [Player]: Nope, not at all! I also wanna write on a tanzaku with [Boyfriend].
* [Player]: And I wanna look at the Milky Way with everyone.
* [Dio]: ... The Milky Way? That's not possible.
* [Player]: Wh-why not?
* [Dio]: It's going to be cloudy all day, which means you won't even be able to see the stars.
* [Player]: Seriously...? I was really looking forward to that...
* [Dio]: ...
* [Dio]: Don't worry about it. It's not like the festival has been canceled or anything.
* [Player]: ... Yeah, you're right. I just have to enjoy the fesitval then!~
* [Dio]: ... Pretty much.

* [Kagura]: Omikoshi parade? What's that?
* [Ryu]: What? You don't know? Several people help carry the omikoshi and parade through the town.
* [Ryu]: Those doing the Tanabata dance follow behind. That's the festival's main event!
* [Kagura]: Woah, that sounds like fun.
* [Kaoru]: I remember hearing you can join in on the parade if you want to.
* [Ryu]: Yup. I plan on joining. What about you guys?
* [Kaoru]: I'll pass. I don't feel like working up a sweat.
* [Kagura]: Maybe I'll go. I did wanna ride on the omikoshi at least once!
* [Ryu]: For your information, you won't be able to. It's believed that a god is riding on top.
* [Kagura]: That's pretty much what I am, though.
* [Ryu]: ... Anyway, just forget it!
* [Player]: I think I'm gonna try the Tanabata dance. I wanna put this yukata to good use.
* [Devin]: I will go as well. I'm not too skilled at dancing, though...
* [Player]: Huhu, let's learn the dance steps together.
* [Devin]: That sounds like a plan.
* [Ryu]: And what about you, Dio?
* [Dio]: I will...
* [Zen]: Drinks and eye candy! It's the epitome of a festival. Haha!
* [Dio]: ... With Zen like that, I can't believe him by himself.
* [Ryu]: Ugh, that drunkard!
* [Ryu]: Let's forget about the old man for a sec. After the parade is done, we'll meet up at...
* [Kaoru]: There was a cafe at the entrance of Tanabata street. How about we just meet there?
* [Ryu]: Perfect. That's where we're all meet up. How does that sound, Dio?
* [Dio]: That's fine with me.
* [Ryu]: Okay, I'm gonna get going then.
* [Player]: ... Dio.
* [Dio]: What? You should hurry up as well. [Boyfriend] is waiting for you.
* [Player]: Yeah, I know, but... I can't help but notice you're not having fun.
* [Dio]: I only came to be a watcher anyway, so there's no real reason for you to worry.
* [Dio]: ... As I said, don't worry about me. You're going to get left behind.
* [Player]: Okay... fine. I'll see you later then.

* [Player]: (The festival's over... I didn't even get a chance to see the Milky Way...)
* [Dio]: What are you doing here? Did you go to get changed?
* [Player]: Dio! Did you come looking for me again cause you were worried?
* [Dio]: ... I just came out for a walk.
* [Player]: Huhu, okay.
* [Dio]: You still haven't given up?
* [Player]: Hm?
* [Dio]: I'm talking about the Milky Way. Why do you want to see it so badly?
* [Player]: Umm... this event is only once a year. I kinda wanna see it if I can.
* [Player]: I know the clouds aren't going away just cause I'm looking at them.
* [Player]: Still, I can't stop looking. It'd be great if a gust of wind would get rid of the clouds~.
* [Dio]: That sounds like something from a fairy tale...
* [Player]: Huhu, I guess you're right.
* [Player]: I should start heading back before everyone starts worrying about me.
* [Dio]: Yeah...
* [Player]: Ah, that reminds me. Before I go back, do you mind if I put up a tanzaku?
* [Dio]: It doesn't bother me... Right now?
* [Player]: Yeah, I wanted to do it with everyone else... but my wish is a little embarrassing.
* [Dio]: What did you wish for?
* [Player]: Umm... I wrote I wish I could see the Milky Way.
* [Dio]: ... I have to hand it to you. You really don't give up.
* [Player]: R-really? Umm... thanks...?
* [Dio]: That wasn't a compliment!
* [Player]: Ahaha... Maybe I shouldn't put it up.
* [Player]: With the clouds as thick as they are, I don't think Orihime and Hikoboshi would see it anyway.
* [Dio]: ... Hand it over.
* [Player]: Ah...! Wh-what are you doing, Dio?!
* [Dio]: I'll show you something interesting.
* [Dio]: This silly wish on the tanzaku has fallen upon the eyes of another god.
* [Player]: Wha...?
* [Dio]: Just now the weather forecast changed. Beware of strong winds.
* [Player]: What does that me---
* [Player]: Wah!!
* [Player]: Ahhh... that took me by surprise... What on earth was that wind just now...?
* [Dio]: The wind is gone. You can open your eyes now.
* [Player]: ... Okay.
* [Player]: I can see the... Milky... Way.
* [Dio]: ... Did your wish come true?
* [Player]: Y-yeah, it did! I can see it! I can see the Milky Way!
* [Dio]: Oi! Don't get so close to me, baka!
* [Player]: Was that wind... you're doing, Dio?
* [Dio]: ... Who knows! Some god somewhere probably did it on a whim.
* [Dio]: ... For whatever reason.

**Standard ~ An Innocent Wish**

* BF: Wah... the Milky Way is really beautiful!
* You: Huhu, it's so shiny.
* You: I'm just really glad that the skies cleared up.
* BF: I'm sure somewhere in the Milky Way Orihime and Hikoboshi are meeting as we speak.
* You: I hope they're happy together.
* BF: I'm sure they want to meet more than once a year, though...
* BF: If I was Hikoboshi, I'd be sad if I couldn't see you, [your name].
* You: I feel the same way, y'know?
* BF: Really?
* You: Yup! I always wanna be with you.
* BF: You're gonna make me blush...
* BF: ... The wish I wrote on the tanzaku has already come true.
* You: Hm? What did you write?
* BF: Ahh! Umm... you see...
* BF: I heard that if you tell your wish, it's not gonna come true...
* You: But it already came true, right? Then I think you're in the clear.
* BF: Um... I wrote that I always wanted to stay by your side, [your name].
* BF: I'm embarrassed just thinking about it.
* You: Huhu, thanks, [BF name]. Let's do just that then.
* BF: Okay!

**Friendly ~ What I Want To Say**

* BF: Oh! The Milky Way looks so cool!
* You: And here I thought I wouldn't be able to see it today. I'm glad I was patient.
* BF: I wish I had been here with you, [your name].
* BF: I didn't get a chance to see the skies clear up.
* You: By the way, what did you think of the festival?
* BF: Hmm~... I couldn't stop looking at all of the different stores on the shopping street...
* BF: The food from the food stalls was amazing and joining the omikoshi parade was fun!
* BF: How about you, [your name]?
* You: I'm glad I got the chance to spend time with you, [BF name].
* BF: R-really? Okay, if you say so...
* BF: H-hey! There's something I want to tell you, [your name]...
* BF: I actually wanted to tell you during the festival, but I couldn't find the right time...
* You: Hm? What do you want to tell me?
* BF: Uhm~... th-that yukata... really looks amazing on you.
* You: [BF name]... Huhu.
* BF: Wh-why are you laughing?!
* You: Cause you're blushing, [BF name].
* BF: Wh-what else do you expect? It's super embarrassing saying these kinds of things!
* You: I'm sorry for teasing you... But thanks for telling me, [BF name]!
* BF: Hehe, don't sweat it!

**Tsundere ~ A Demonstration**

**Mysterious ~ Under The Stars**

* You: Come here, [BF name]! You can see the Milky Way from here!
* BF: Oh, wow. This Milky Way is also pretty beautiful.
* You: Hm? What do you mean?
* BF: I couldn't stop staring at the Milky Way on Tanabata street...
* You: (Umm... was there something like that?)
* BF: Don't you remember the bands of light at the entrance? That was supposed to be the Milky Way.
* BF: So in a sense, we were already looking at the Milky Way.
* You: S-so that's... what you meant.
* BF: Pretty interesting, huh? We danced and walked under the Milky Way.
* You: Huhu, I guess you're right.
* You: But that means I completely messed up.
* BF: How so?
* You: Until you told me, [your name], I just thought they were lights...
* You: I wish I had realized sooner.
* BF: How about we go back and take a look at it again?
* You: Really? Are you sure you're OK with that?
* BF: Of course. We still have plenty of time left.
* BF: That way, we'll be able to enjoy both Milky Ways.
* You: That's true! Thanks, [BF name].

**Tough ~ A Star-Filled Promise**

* You: Look, [BF name]! Look how pretty the Milky Way is.
* BF: It is.
* You: You wouldn't believe it was cloudy just a second ago looking at the sky now.
* BF: Good point.
* You: Do you think Orihime and Hikoboshi were able to meet?
* BF: I do.
* You: I hope so. I mean, they can only see each other once a year...
* You: I had so much fun today. The day went by way too quickly.
* BF: True. There aren't many festivals like the one today.
* You: There were lots of food stalls, too. But the best part was definitely the omikoshi parade.
* BF: Wholeheartedly agree.
* BF: Didn't realize the carrying the omikoshi would be that rough.
* You: It looked pretty heavy from where I was standing. But you had fun, right?
* BF: I did. Not something you get to experience all the time.
* You: I had fun dancing behind you!
* You: I'd love to participate again if there's another festival like this.
* BF: Good idea. We'll both go.
* You: Yeah, for sure. That's a promise!
* BF: Indeed it is.

**Cute ~ Our Time Together**

**Relaxed ~ Peace Of Mind**

* BF: Woah~! Look at the Milky Way~.
* BF: It was cloudy up until a minute ago, so I thought I wouldn't be able to see it~...
* You: Yeah, I was pretty shocked, too.
* You: I thought it was a strong gust of wind... and then the clouds were gone. It was so weird.
* BF: Oh, is that what happened~? I wish I had been there to see it~.
* BF: Now they don't have anything to be sad about~.
* You: Hm? What are you talking about?
* BF: I'm talking about Orihime and Hikoboshi~. They can only see each other once a year, right~?
* BF: I was worried they couldn't meet on such an important day... I'm glad it's not cloudy any more~.
* You: Huhu, you're pretty kind hearted, [BF name].
* BF: And there's one more thing I'm relieved about~.
* BF: I'm glad I was able to see you happy, [your name]~.
* You: Hm...?
* BF: Since you were always looking up, [your name]. I thought you wanted the clouds to go away~.
* BF: But I don't have the power to change the weather, so I didn't stop wishing~.
* BF: I wished with all of my heart when I was carrying the omikoshi... so I thought it came true~.
* You: Aw... thanks, [BF name].
* BF: Huhu, you're welcome~.
* BF: Ah, I have an idea~. Before next year's festival, why don't we make a teruteru-bozu~?
* You: Yeah, let's do it!

**Vain ~ Warm Hands**

* You: Did you enjoy today's Tanabata festival, [BF name]?
* BF: It was more fun than expected given how big it was.
* BF: What did you think, [your name]?
* You: It was really fun! Actually got to see the Milky Way. It was an eventful day.
* BF: I'm glad to hear it.
* BF: By the way, how long are you planning on staying here?
* You: Hmm... I still wanna look at the Milky Way, so I'll stay for a little while longer.
* You: What are you gonna do, [BF name]?
* BF: I'll stay as well. I have to make sure someone is safe.
* You: Umm... I don't mind if you go back, y'know?
* BF: What are you talking about? You've been here the entire time, [your name].
* BF: It'll be a pain in the neck if you caught a cold.
* You: Now that you mention it, the wind is a little cold.
* BF: Tch... Fine. Come here.
* You: Wah...!
* You: (Ah... [BF name]'s hands are so warm.)
* BF: It's not as cold if we hold hands, right?
* You: Yeah, you're right! Thanks, [BF name].
* BF: I expect the appropriate amount of gratitude when we get home, so I hope you're preparing yourself.
* You: Urgh... p-please be gentle...
