That's so awesome
[player] Darn you're just... Awesome. Really. You're so cool with the way you do things, Joseph!
I still have many thoughts fluttering around my mind, but right now I can't think of a better word for him than "awesome".
[Joseph] Hahaha! What's up with you, friend? I've never seen you so excited before. Even if it is a compliment, isn't it a little too much?
[player] That's no exaggeration, not at all! Those treasures represent your achievements, your glory, yet you feel they are a burden, preventing your progress. So you give them away! Doesn't such an attitude to life deserve to be called "awesome"?!
[player] YOU'RE AWESOME, for real... I'm not joking, Joseph. I really admire you. You have shown me the soul of a man who truly lives for adventure.
Joseph... My super adventurer.
[player] A toast! A toast to your generosity and sincerity, Joseph!
[Joseph] My friend, you... I'm a little flustered by your praise! I swear I must be blushing bright red! Cheers!
[player] That's because you've had too much to drink! But who cares about the details! Cheers!
[Joseph] Unbelievable! How many years has it been? And there's gonna be a new "Fortunes of Adventure"?!
Actually, I think Joseph really is embarrassed. After manically praising him so emotionally, even I'm now embarrassed for gushing so much myself, to say nothing of how he must feel! It's just his personality makes it almost easy for him to admit this.
Luckily, Joseph set an excellent example as to how to avoid awkwardness: confidence! So long as you come across confidently, and speak at a decent volume, then there's no need to let embarrassment make an awkward atmosphere!
[player] But Joseph... You'd better not treat our friendship the same as your treasures.
[Joseph] What? What nonsense is this, friend? I would never do such a thing.
[player] I mean it! I worry that if I don't remind you, there will come a day when your friendships become a burden. Then you'll just leave all of us and vanish without a word.
[player] After all... Don't you realize that everything that's happened here, they're just "memories" now, too?
[Joseph] I must say it saddens me to hear you say that, my friend. I am not that callous. What's more, there's no way friendships can be treated the same as treasures.
[Joseph] Hmm? That might not be the best way to put it, but anyway... No need to worry, my friend! I promise you, our friendship is as solid as my biceps!
[player] Oh? That's very reassuring to hear, but you'd better keep your promise!
[Joseph] I'm as good as my word! But, friend, are you a little tipsy? You're being a lot louder than normal.
[player] Impossible! I've only been having 100% freshly-squeezed juice!
……
Am I overthinking things? I always get the feeling that George is looking down on us with utter disdain... But maybe I should keep it down, no matter how excited I am. It's late, after all, and I don't want to disturb the neighbors.
[Clerk] Hello—? Delivery!
The arrival of the delivery guy certainly calms our friendly discussion. Stocked up with drinks and snacks, we press play once more on our viewing party...
[player] ...If only I had the chance, I'd love to go somewhere like the jungle.
[Joseph] Do not think about it, do it! Come with me someday! Be my intrepid partner as we live it up, deep in the jungle, [player].
[player] Great! Let's go together... Live it up in the jungle...
I never made it to the end... I don't know when I dozed off, but the next thing I know I open my eyes and see the light outside...
