Kasumi Ep. 32: Go For It, Hometown Idol!
Kasumi wants to become a Hometown Idol to enliven the community. To do so, she must win a contest at a local festival. And so begins her training for the contest.
Player
Kasumi, you said you thought up some new training?
Kasumi
Yes! If I'm aiming to win the contest, then the way I am now just won't do!
Player
So what kind of training do you have in mind?
Kasumi
How lovely of you to ask… I've thought of the perfect practice.
Kasumi
I call it the Super Big Side-Step Stamina Test!
Player
Super Big…Side-Step Stamina Test?
Kasumi
Yes. In a side-step stamina test, you draw three lines on the floor, then jump over the center line side-to-side without stepping on the lines to the left or right, yeah?
Player
Yeah.
Kasumi
Usually there are three lines… But I got to thinking…and I decided I should do five lines instead!
Player
Ooh…
Kasumi
I've heard that repetitive side-stepping can improve lower-body strength and agility.
Kasumi
Agility is supposed to increase the body's kinetic control…or something. It's kinda complicated, but it seems like it'd be great for dancing, right?!
Kasumi
Additionally… I'm also going to sing while I do it!
Player
Um… Like, to increase your lung capacity while you're at it?
Kasumi
Exactly! Honestly, I wonder why we haven't done this before. It's probably gonna be like killing a hundred birds with one stone.
Kasumi
So that's it! Please tag along with me, Prez!

*Huff* *Puff* *Pant*
| Option 1: “Here, have some water.” |
|---|
| Player Kasumi. Here, have some water. Kasumi Thank you. *Gulp* *Gulp* Phew… Delicious! |
| Option 2: “Here's a towel.” |
| Player Kasumi. Here's a cool towel for you. Kasumi Mmm… Nice and cold. It feels amazing, Prez! |
Kasumi
I'm liking how this feels. I think I did well.
Shioriko
Oh, you two are still here? It's quite late, so I thought—
Kasumi
Hey, hey! Shioko! Check out my new training! Look, I made my very own side-step stamina test!
Shioriko
Huh? …Ah, you increased the number of lines. I see that there are five now. That must be very tiring.
Kasumi
Once you get used to it, it's all right. You could probably even do it at home.
Player
At home? It might be a bit loud in our bedrooms…
Kasumi
I was thinking we could do it in the street in front of my house. Hardly any cars or people pass through there.
Shioriko
…Kasumi, perhaps we need to have a little word about traffic rules.
Kasumi
Huh? Shioko, your face is kinda scaring me…
