Tea Break

あれは2年前のことでした・・・・・
そう、忘れもしない、小雨の降る寒い夜でした。
完成したのも束の間、一言「どこへ売ろう・・・」
その後、その板を見たものはいないという・・・
世にも恐ろしい話・・・・

でも、まさか1週間で作り直すハメなるとわ・・・
ま、完成したからいいっか!
一応、2年間の進化も見られたし。

お疲れさまでした てらお

That was two years ago...
Yes, it was a cold, rainy night that I will never forget.
After completing the project, they said, "Where shall I sell it...?"
No one has seen the board since...
The most horrifying story in the world...

But I didn't expect to have to rebuild it in a week...
Well, it's done, so that's good!
In the meantime, we've seen two years of evolution.

Thank you for your hard work. Terao

野に咲く花のように
ひっそりと発売される
このゲームを
マッチョなブラザーが
競うように求め合う様が
目に浮がびます。
うそです。
ヤナセョ

Like a flower blooming in the field
It will be released quietly
I can imagine
the macho brothers
competing with each other
for this game.
Just kidding.
