Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

But then came the appeals to cuteness, followed by an attempt to strong-arm him. Though that was sort of amusing too, it was also a bit unsettling at the same time. It wasn't the first time he'd seen such tactics used, to frequently embarrassing results. He wasn't ashamed to admit that said results ...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Chapter 11: Eavesdropping Miki came in shortly after Hisao, and took her seat in front of Maru. "Hey," she greeted. Maru gave a small wave, but didn't say anything. "Something eating you?" she asked. "Huh?" He blinked. "Oh, no, it's... nothing." He waved his h...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Well... To be perfectly honest the meeting with Kenji felt like you just copied the scene from the VN and put in one additional character to spout corny gags and memes... If you absolutely wanted to do that scene, you could have at least spared us Hisao's internal monologue and written it from Maru...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Chapter 9: Dreaming Of A Himalayan Blunder As Maru walked through the city, he contemplated his second encounter with Hanako. "Timid," said the librarian. I don't think I've ever met anyone so timid, he thought. Though that might have something to do with me not being much better sometimes...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Chapter 8: Chance Encounters While Hisao reflected on the radical changes that had befallen his life, Maru was having a field day. After he realized he could hold the pegboard up just as well with his elbow and what remained of his forearm, he was soon measuring and marking where the screws should g...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

"Hey, tempting people's my job, don't you know?" Maru winked, and then pantomimed singing into a microphone. "Please, allow me to introduce myself; I'm a man of wealth and taste!" Hisao winced again. "You're off key." "Oof, okay, ow," Maru said with a frown. &...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Hisao didn't reply to that as he poked his head around the corner of the common room door. A few students inside were watching the television, and one nodded at him, gave a quick "hello", and turned back to the TV. Seems that only the girls around here are sociable, Hisao reflected. Well, ...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

I still have no idea if the adjustable prosthetics are a thing or not. They seem like they ought to be, though. Does anyone here know, praytell? Well, there's this , but it wasn't on the market in 2007. However, even with that system, a mold of the limb has to be made. Hmm.... Not to mention that's...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

"Hey, don't put yourself out on my account," Maru said as he waved his hand. "I can make do." "Even so, it doesn't do any good to go around with an inferior prosthetic if it brings you discomfort," said the nurse. "It's not that it's uncomfortable or anything,"...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Chapter 6: Arm-y Nurse Maru found a vending machine down the aisle from the nurse's office and purchased a can of coffee. With a satisfied grin he took a deep drink from the can. The grin quickly fell as the coffee hit his taste buds. Aw man. That's just... a crime against taste buds everywhere. He ...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

They walked inside. I hope this really will be a quick visit like the teacher said, thought Hisao. "Hm. Head nurse," Maru said, as he pointed to a white door on the left. Sure enough, the text "Head Nurse" is written in white on a green cross, with a nameplate below it. Hisao gru...

Re: ...It Costs An Arm And A Leg!

Chapter 5: In The Nursery -----Hisao asks about library, bluh bluh------ Misha and Shizune signed back and forth very animatedly, and threw sideways glances at Hisao. Misha refrained from translating, however. Maybe they are talking about secret girl stuff or something, he reflected as he continued ...

Her and the human foghorn are the student council. She and the human foghorn... "Her is the student council" would sound stupid, wouldn't it? Yeah, sure, but proper grammar is for gaylords. ... No joke, either. Now, for the author half-assing his grammar, as in They finished just in time ...

He grinned somewhat maniacally. "AND I AM A LAAAARGE HAAAAAAM! MILK THE GIANT COOOOOOW," he roared, as he held his arms to the sky. And you want to pair this oaf with Hanako of all people? She's going to run as soon as he comes in sight^^° To be fair, he's not ... always like that. ... Of...

Re: The End of Hisao Nakai

Well, to add some point, I seem to recall there being a fic written about just that scenario. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called now, though. Was pretty good though, in an "ow, my feels" sort of way.
