Ai Ep. 25: The Bewitching Hour!
Ai has figured out what to do for the signature song for the Tabletop Game Club's movie. The theme of the song revolves around a bewitching vampire princess who has lost her way after a tragic love affair. Ai has trouble with this as it means putting on a performance that goes against her usual self.
Ai
So, what do you think of the lyrics I wrote?
Player
…………
Ai
Does it convey the sadness of a tragic love story? Is it bewitching enough?
Player
Ai… First of all, it can't have all of these puns.
Ai
Ugh! I knew it.
Player
Yeah. I think you've done a great job getting across that traditional Japanese horror story feel and the whole alluring vampire princess part, but the puns just make it too funny.
Player
So, towards the end, it loses the tragic love story aspect and starts to sound happy and cheerful.
Ai
Ugh, I know, but… It's just so, y'know…
Player
Embarrassing?
Ai
Ack! Is it that obvious?!
Player
Well, that's the reason you always start making puns, after all.
Ai
B-But, you know I'm not good at this stuff. All that adult romance and seduction and all of that…
Player
It's not called a challenge for nothing!
Ai
R-Right.
Player
All right. I'll find a special lecturer to give you a crash course, so just sit tight.
Ai
A special lecturer?
[Fade in/out.]
Shizuku
Your special lecturer has arrived. It's me! Let's get to it.
Ai
Shizuku?! Wh-Why?!
Shizuku
The Prez filled me in about the song you're writing. You know, how it's all about a bewitching vampire princess and such.
Shizuku
I just have to see how you tackle that!
Ai
Hey, come on! Are you trying to say that you expected me to get tripped up by this stuff?!
| Option 1: “I did expect it.” |
|---|
| Player Yep. I was expecting it, actually. Ai Aww, you're so mean! |
| Option 2: “I thought that might be the case.” |
| Player I thought that might be the case. So, I prepared for it in advance. Ai Urgh. That stings a bit, but thanks. You truly are reliable. |
Player
So, let's learn how to act in a bewitching way from Shizuku here.
[Fade in/out.]
Shizuku
First of all, please show me your best bewitching face.
Ai
Oof… How's this?
Shizuku
Hmm, that looks just like the face that Kasumi makes when she's desperately trying to cover up her mischief. We can do better!
Ai
You're too strict, Shizuku!
