[20:11] Mamoru     He can't keep up with all the changes     bishojo games have been going through. [20:16] Mamoru     All he does every night is go out drinking. [20:18] Mamoru     I don't think he knows the first     thing about Windows games. [20:22] Konoha     I guess the Windows phobia     runs in the family! [20:29] Mamoru     Which is why, with this console game offer, [20:32] Mamoru     Dad must have wanted to show Kaori and     Meiko that he could still be useful. [20:38] Mamoru     Hey. [20:40] Mamoru     What do you think about a console release? [20:42] Konoha     Huh? [20:44] Mamoru     Never mind. [20:46] Mamoru     I know I shouldn't ask you. [20:51] Konoha     A console release sounds great to me! [20:53] Konoha     I'd totally go for it! [20:55] Konoha     Everyone in the office     is so excited about it! [20:59] Mamoru     Are you really gonna stick     to doing menial tasks? [21:02] Mamoru     I thought you wanted to make a game. [21:05] Konoha     Deep down, I want to work on the game, too. [21:08] Konoha     But everyone else is trying so hard,     without time travel or anything. [21:12] Konoha     It doesn't feel right for     me to butt in on that. [21:19] Konoha     I'm just fine handling the chores! [21:22] Konoha     No matter the era I'm in, this     is what it's like for me! [21:30] Konoha     Ow, ow... [21:34] Konoha     Ah, this sucks! [21:36] Konoha     All of my hard work! SIGN    Come over     Kogyaru Club [21:40] Mamoru     Wait... [21:42] Konoha     What's that? [21:43] Mamoru     Where'd you get this garbage? [21:45] Konoha     That trash bag is from when     I cleaned the garage just now. [21:48] Mamoru     This is a cosplay club run by Ichigaya.
