Part 37: Mail Order XXXX


Alright, unfortunately we haven't seen much of Hiro lately because he's always working. I don't think he's game enough to show up again at the Grass Races until he can do some extra modifications to his car, and that requires money.

So it goes, that we see Hiro work, scrape barely enough money for a single car part for Sarah, have the car loan payment come in over the top, eat the rest of the bank balance, then back to square one again.

…This game can be an interesting metaphor for life at times.

With what little spare time Hiro has, he spends it reading his Holiday Auto magazines.


: The reality of the house is. The name of the store towel. It is said to be in the hospital.
Stop being a logistician!



Agree with you Hoku. Words to live by.

Anyway, what's on sale this week?





Use XXXX. ¥10,000.


...What?… You know, I often find myself wondering whether this game is actually being perverse, or it's just mistranslated.

But here… I don’t think there’s any question. Not only does it print the words XXXX, but it actually plays a piercing, ringing, censoring sound effect as it displays the words.

I’m intensely curious what it means by ‘Use XXXX’.


: Well then. Let’s call now.


Bring Bring!





: I want some XXX. It was on the Moshi Moshi Magazine


:phone:Okay, In about a week we will deliver it to you. Thank you very much.



Well, I guess we'll get to use XXXX when it arrives…

: I hope it arrives soon….
