Kotori Ep. 28: Taking More Steps Forward!
Kotori has discovered a whole new world of possibilities after making fans from washi paper. As she enthusiastically delves into the free paper she received, she has an epiphany.
Kotori
Now I see. I can use the washi paper this way too!
Player
*Giggle* You sure are into it, Kotori.
Kotori
Uh-huh! I received so much free washi paper that I thought I might as well make something new with it.
Player
You sure learned a lot from making those paper fans, huh? That washi artisan was delighted that you were fervently asking them questions.
Kotori
I really enjoyed it too. I never expected that I'd get to have such a wonderful experience.
Kotori
And guess what! I've been trying out a bunch of things, and it turns out washi paper is tougher than I thought, so I think I can make costumes with it.
Kotori
We could make it into something pleated like this, and if we fold it, we can add some darts and have it be more form-fitting.
Player
Wow! It'd be incredible if you could really make a washi paper outfit!
Kotori
Hehe. I want to make some cute outfits for everyone, so I'm going to study up even more!
Option 1: “I'm sure the girls would be thrilled.” |

Player I'm sure the girls would be thrilled to know you're thinking of doing all that for them! Kotori I'd be delighted to thrill them! |
Option 2: “You can do it, Kotori!” |
Player You really are amazing, Kotori! You can do it! Kotori I'd love to make a costume that's unlike anything we've worn before. I'll do my best! |
Kotori
If everything goes well with my mock-up, I'd like to find paper in colors that suit each member.
Kotori
Like maybe bright orange would suit Honoka, or perhaps a deeper, carrot kind of orange.
Kotori
I'm aiming to find the color that best suits each member. *Giggle* This will be fun!
Player
You look so excited that you're making me excited too.
Kotori
Up until now, I thought that I had to try hard so I won't get left behind, and there were times when I got myself into a bit of a panic…
Kotori
But taking on a new challenge is bringing out new ideas that I never thought of during my earlier efforts. It feels like I'm seeing so much more now!
Player
I'm glad that trying out something new really worked out for you!
Kotori
*Giggle* Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you!
Player
Me? But I didn't do anything.
Kotori
That's not true. Having you around gives me a boost in motivation.
Kotori
I wonder why. Maybe it's because you're such a hard worker.
Player
You'll embarrass me if you keep talking like that… But thank you.
Kotori
Hehe. I'd love to keep spending all my time just like this with a shy, hard worker like you.
Player
I feel the same way! Let's give it our all, Kotori!
Kotori
Right!
