Nico Ep. 14: Words for the Challenger

Nico and Kasumi are going to have a live show duel to decide who has the better performance! How does Nico respond to Kasumi's determination to win at all costs?

Kasumi

Preeeeeez! Are you on your way to see Nico right now?

Player

Yup! Do you wanna come along?

Kasumi

Nope, because Nico's my rival!

Kasumi

I'm totally gonna win in the live show duel against her, you'll see!

Kasumi

Tell Nico that true cuteness exists for ME and not for her, okay?

Player

Y-You want me to tell her that?! That's a pretty big responsibility.

Player

Oh, it's time for me to get going. I'll catch you tomorrow, Kasumi!

[Fade in/out.]

Kasumi

Grrr… You're always giving all your attention to Nico!

[Fade in/out.]

Nico

True cuteness exists for Kasumi?! THAT'S what she said?

Player

Y-Yeah. She told me to tell you that. (I think I might've made Nico mad…)

Nico

Heh. That's an intriguing thing to say.

Nico

I'll make her see through the live show duel that the REALLY true cuteness exists for me.

Player

Huh?

Nico

What?

Player

I thought you'd be angrier.

Nico

Well, I do think she has some nerve to challenge me, the galaxy's number one school idol. But actually taking on a challenge is really difficult, you know?

Player

Are you saying that Kasumi has taken a difficult step by challenging you?

Nico

Yep. You can't take on a challenge unless you strongly believe that you'll win, right?

Nico

Maybe she's worried about whether she can actually win, but I suppose she deserves some props as a school idol for not showing that weakness.

Player

Nico! So that's how you've been seeing Kasumi!

Player

Nico, you're…

Option 1: “An ally to everyone who tries their best.”

Player

You're an ally to everyone who tries their best! I'm sure it would be encouraging to Kasumi if she heard what you said just now.

Nico

We've gone and decided to have this live show duel, so her only choice is to give it her all! If she really puts her mind to it, she's bound to gain a lot from it as well.

Option 2: “The ideal school idol!”

Player

You're the perfect model of a school idol! It's great that you respect your rival and will even have a live show duel with her.

Nico

I know, right?! There's no school idol around as wonderful as me!

Nico

Even though I don't think Kasumi will ever beat me, no matter how many times she tries!

Nico

Both Kasumi and I are serious about being school idols. The only way we can learn about each other is to perform.

Nico

So the battle should be fair and square! Bring it on! Right?

Player

You're so cool!

Player

You're a cute school idol, but you've also got this cool side to you, too.

Player

That's why I can't take my eyes off you.

Nico

…………

Nico

S-Stop that! You'll make me all embarrassed if you say super sincere things like that!

Nico

Here I go! Another day, another energy-filled practice session in preparation for the live show duel!

Player

Yeah!
