Nico Ep. 18: Cool All Along

Nico is working hard to become a cooler version of herself, and you are worried about how to best help her achieve her goal. Right then, a certain someone appears before you.

Hanamaru

Ah! I found you, zura!

Nico

Hanamaru!

Player

What are you doing here?

Hanamaru

There was something I wanted to talk to Nico about, so I came to see her. I'm glad I caught you before you left, zura!

Nico

Talk? About what?

[Fade in/out.]

Nico

I see. You were having trouble with your upcoming live show.

Hanamaru

Yeah. I try to do my best, but it all just looks totally wrong when I watch the footage back.

Player

Totally wrong? I'm sure it can't be that bad.

Nico

But your performance doesn't look how you want it to when you re-watch it, right? We have to do something about that.

Hanamaru

Yeah!

Nico

Try to manifest an aura that pushes everything around you out of your way.

Hanamaru

A-Aura? I-I can't do anything like that, zura.

Nico

Don't be silly! That's only because you tell yourself you can't. If you just try, it will come!

Nico

Listen. You can change as much as you like once you have the right mindset.

Nico

I want you to focus on it harder than you ever have before. Take a step forward as if you want to pull everyone along with you.

Nico

Okay? I know you can do it, Hanamaru.

Hanamaru

Nico!

Hanamaru

When you put it like that, I feel like I can do it too!

Nico

You've got the determination to see things through to the end, not to mention the style. Do whatever you can to show off those talents!

Hanamaru

Thanks! I really am glad I came and asked you about it.

Player

You can always count on Nico.

Hanamaru

Yeah! And she's so cool too, zura!

Nico

What?! I'm cool?!

Nico

Hanamaru! Did you just say that I was cool?!

Hanamaru

Yep, zura! You're so self-assured. I think that's really cool. Don't you think so?

Nico

Oh, I do! Of course I do. I should be thanking you, Hanamaru!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Hanamaru said that you're self-assured and really cool! I have to say that I agree with her.

Nico

I didn't expect to be called cool for doing stuff like that.

Player

Nico…

Option 1: “You've always been cool, Nico!”

Player

You've always been cool, Nico!

Nico

Now that you mention it… Maybe you're right!

Option 2: “Sorry that I didn't notice how cool you were earlier.”

Player

I should have noticed your coolness earlier. I'm sorry.

Nico

What are you talking about?! Don't get down about a little thing like that!

Nico

I'm cool… Yes, of course I was cool all along!

Nico

Hah, nothing can stop me now that I know how cool I am! Let's get to work on preparations for the live show!

Player

Okay!
