Monogatari rewatch ep 13 - Capcom reference from novel

“You see,” I explained, “I don’t see Hanekawa in that way—she’s someone
I’m indebted to. I can’t go into details, though. Hanekawa would probably turn
me down, anyway. And Senjogahara’s personality is part of the reason why I...”

Uhm.

Yeah, it was hard to finish that sentence.

I trailed off and left it at that.

“I see.” Instead of being mean and hounding me, Hachikuji nodded. “How
ironic.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t understand? Then let me put it another way. How ionic.”

“That makes even less sense to me??”

“Well, you’re the type to pursue Lindt in Quiz Nanairo Dreams. You must have
odd taste in the opposite sex.”



“Don’t you think that reference needs to be explained?!”

This one was really obscure.

Okay, a while back there was this dating-sim quiz arcade game that
CAPCOM developed called Quiz Nanairo Dreams: The Miracle of Rainbow
Village, where you answered trivia questions and got to become friends with
seven featured female characters. You raise their impression of you over half a
year before finally defeating the resurrected Demon King at the end to live
happily ever after with your favorite girl; only, along the way, there is this
character named Lindt, one of the Demon King’s flunkies who gets in your way,
and though she happens to be a girl, you sadly can’t end up with her no matter
what tricks and techniques you may try. There’s no telling how many hundred-
yen coins disappeared into those machines in search of a happy end with her. As
a note, there was a proper route for Lindt in the home release of the game,
perhaps due to player demand. Okay, commentary over!

“Very impressive of you to know, Mister Araragi.”

“Oh, it’s nothing... Hey, don’t bring up references that require this much
explanation in the first place! Even Bikkuriman was better! I think I’m the first
person to go on about Quiz Nanairo Dreams since we entered the twenty-first
century!”

“But if we continue to wage a low-key grassroots campaign, they might
create a remake some day.”

“Too low-key!”

“But if you say you prefer Miss Senjogahara, that must be how it is. To
each his scorn.”


“‘To each his own,’ yes?!”
