Somewhere, we’re falling down, okay. In a strange place, we’re tumbling around. Even without any items, I press the start button. Where is that place hidden behind the clouds?

I can’t hold back my curiosity. You walk ahead, my love rival. I plant pretty flowers in the small flower bed. This feels like a mission given to me.

I like tulips, and you like daisies. When the question mark appears in the speech bubble, we try to read each other’s minds first. Just by looking into your eyes, I can see your true feelings and mood.

I draw you without hesitation. I hope we can climb to the top together. Power up my best player. We can go, we can go.

Somewhere, we’re falling down, okay. In a strange place, we’re tumbling around. Even without any items, I press the start button. Where is that place hidden behind the clouds?

I can’t hold back my curiosity. You walk ahead, my love rival. Walking under the dry sky, I can’t enjoy this spicy map this time.

Shall we take on the challenge again? Can we do it? Hey, hey, even when I look, it’s difficult here. The famous strategy doesn’t work. Choose a character that smiles brightly, just like you.

The moment I see you, the recovery item spills out. Always giving me hints, and the habit of carrying them every day. The right amount of pranks and tension, non-stop. I see the flowing picture clearly.

Did you not know? That innocence is your weapon. From a high place, I shout. I hope this echo reaches far and spreads. Power up my best player.
