Mari's route.Dream Club.

Nice to meet you.

(Mari) Thank you for inviting me.
I’m Mari.

(Mari) And who are you?
(mp) I’m MP.
(mp – main protagonist)
(Mari) I see. Hello to you.
(mp) Hello, Mari-chan. Nice to meet you.
(Mari) I can hear you. Speak more gently.
(mp) I’m sorry.
I’m often told that my voice is very loud.
(mp) Was it bad?
(Mari) My ears are singing…
But it’s not that I hate your voice.
(mp) R-really?
OK, I’ll be more careful next time.
(mp)(Mari-chan is very sensitive…)
(mp)(I should watch my mouth…)
(Mari) Say, do you like Bloody Maririn?
(mp) Buraji Maririn?
Er…I’m sorry I seem to be missing something.
(Mari) I see.
(mp) If you don’t mind, please enlighten the barbarian.
What is Bloody Maririn?
(Mari) Bloody Maririn is me.
(mp) Ahem.
(Mari) Ahem.
(mp) Is that all?
(Mari) You want to know anything else?
(mp) Well, you see…
(mp) You look grown-up. At this place you don’t see such girls every so often.
(mp) Any special reason for you to be here?
(Mari) To purify love and death…
(mp) W-what?
(Mari) You asked why I’m working here. It’s exactly for that.
Don’t make me say things twice.
(mp) I-I’m sorry…
(mp)(Mari surely has her quirks…)
(mp)(but she’s extremely cute…)
(mp)(I should get to know her better…)
(Mari) And what brought YOU here?
(mp) Well…you know…
(mp) I’d like to be of help to you.
(mp) You were talking about purifying love and death or something…
(Mari) Yes, I was.
But it’s OK for now.
(mp) I see…It’s a pity.
(mp) Well, then I’ll simply keep visiting you.
If you need something, just say it.
(mp) I want to know you better.
(Mari) OK, gimme your email. And this is mine.
(mp) Ah, thanks.
(Mari) Same here.
I’ll write to you in the evening.
(mp) OK, I’ll be waiting.
Once again, I’m happy to meet you.
(Mari) Me too.
(Mari) OK, then, let’s drink!
(Mari) For the brute who lost his owner and was walking aimlessly… Cheers!
(mp) Mari-chan, you’re not very active.
(mp) I can’t really say how old you are.
And how old?
(Mari) 21…Probably lived for too long.
(mp) Eh?
21? So young!
(mp) Life is only beginning now.
(Mari) After 20 the rest of life is rubbish.
A waste of body, that’s all.
(mp) I don’t think so.
(mp) After 20 there are also lots and lots of amusing things.
(Mari) For example?
(mp) What about the booze?
You don’t mind drinking, do you?
(Mari) Ah, it’s all for killing time. And nothing else.
(mp) Oh, come on. Don’t talk like that when you’re drinking with me.
-
ETS.
(Mari) *Ouch*
(mp) Eh? Something happened?
(Mari) My lip hurts.
It was badly snapped this morning.
(mp) Eh? Somebody snapped your lip? Who was it?
(Mari) …The cat.
I have a cat in my house.
(mp) A cat, just to think of it…
(mp) I thought it was surely a man.
(Mari) Can’t men snap lips?
(mp) I’m not to judge. I’ll pass on this.
(mp) You’d think I’m depressed. I wouldn’t like to.
(Mari) That’s a wise choice.
(Mari) Because if you say something stupid one can hurt your lip as well.
(mp) Who?
(Mari) My cat. She’s running around the place watching over me.
(mp) Why the cat? And why is it watching over you?
(Mari) So that I shan’t touch people.
(mp) Excuse me?
(mp)(the more I listen to her the more mysterious she gets…)
-
(time is up)
(mp) I gotta go.
(Mari) Really?
It’s a pity.
Then, I’ll be waiting for you at the club next time.
(seeing off)

(Mari) We had a good time.
You can call me again.

Saturday, Jan 13.
Dream Club.Today Mari is absent so I’m paying a visit to Mio. I also happen to make a date with her. We’re going to the rink.
(The funny thing I started Mari’s route just after I finished Mio’s story and we’re seeing each other again)

Saturday, Jan 20.Dream Club.Mari’s at place.

(Mari) Thanks for inviting me. I hope we’ll manage to keep company.
ETS.
“Bloody Maririn”
(mp) Say, lately we were talking about Bloody Maririn.
(mp) But what in the end does it mean?
(Mari) I told you, didn’t I? Bloody Maririn is me.
(mp) No, please explain in more detail. It worries me.
(Mari) I’ll bring my CD next time.
(mp) A CD?
(mp) Ah…Bloody Maririn is your favorite band, isn’t it?
(Mari) Bloody Maririn is me. The vocals are also by me.
(mp) Eh? Mari-chan, you’re into music?
(Mari) An indy project…
Though I’m better at giving live concerts.
(mp) An indy project?
But releasing your own record is great, don’t you think?
(mp) I see, so Bloody Maririn is your band.
(mp) So you mean that we can expect your national debut soon?
(Mari) Nah, I don’t care about being famous and such.
(mp) R-really?
(mp) You know I’m bad at indy music.
(mp)(honestly I know absolutely nothing about it…)
(mp) But I’m interested in your CD.
(Mari) OK, I’ll give it to you.
And you’ll listen to my songs.
(mp) I sure will.
I’ll be your fan!
(mp)(great! Now I found a topic to discuss!)
-
(changing topic)
(Mari) Did you love somebody to the point you feel you’d kill the person.
(mp) Yeah, I had something like that.
But killing is out of question, of course.
(Mari) This person…gave you the elbow?
(Mari) And she’s happy with someone else?
(Mari) Maybe now she hardly remembers you…
(mp) Oh, come on, don’t rub salt in my wounds…
(Mari) I do that on purpose.
So that you remember it to the end of your days.
(mp) Mari-chan, you scare me.
