Rin Ep. 14: Cute Training!
Rin has been placed in charge of making Hanamaru cute. They begin an intense training course in cuteness so they can pull off a successful joint live show.
Rin
*Giggle* I'm so excited to be able to perform a live show with you, Hanamaru!
Rin
For me to make you “cute” means that I have to make you super-duper cute since you're already adorable to begin with!
Hanamaru
I'm gonna do what I can to somehow keep up with your cuteness, zura.
Player
And I'll also give you guys support so that you two can pull off your cute joint live show! What should we start with? Picking the setlist?
Rin
Nope! What's important for us is to boost our cuteness up, so let's get some cute training done together!
Player
Cute…
Hanamaru
Training?
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
Cute training begins now!
Hanamaru
Yeah!
Rin
Rule number one! To be cute is to be girlish, just like Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
I-I've never thought about that before.
Player
(I don't really get it myself, but they're really enjoying the moment!)
Rin
There's still more!
Rin
Rule number two! To be cute is to have an insatiable eye for food, just like Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Whaaat?! B-But I've eaten too much again today, so my belly's all squishy…
Rin
That's exactly what's adorable! Your love for food is just like Kayo-chin's!
Rin
And, the way you say “Zura!” is cute too.
Hanamaru
Huhhh?! That slips out all the time, so I've been reflecting on how it's unbecoming for a school idol.
Rin
That's not true! It's not something you should reflect on. It's something you should have confidence in because it's cute. You gotta make sure to show off your cuteness!
Player
She's right! Your speech quirks, girlishness, and the way you eat food with such a joyful expression are all charms of yours, Hanamaru.
Hanamaru
W-Wait! If I take advantage of all of that, I'll just end up still being me! I won't be cute like Rin!
Rin
Whaaat?! But you need to cherish those cute aspects of yourself.
Hanamaru
Ahem. Listen up, Rin!
Hanamaru
Rule number one! To be cute is to be full of energy, just like Rin! That's what I think, zura!
Rin
Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Rule number two! Aaand! Your kitty-cat ways are cute too, zura!
Rin
But, but, being cute like a cat and being cute like a school idol are different, aren't they?
Hanamaru
Whaaat? I think that's adorable, though…
Rin
To be cute…
Hanamaru
To be cute…
Hanamaru, Rin
What does it mean to be cute?!
Player
You know what, you two? After listening to everything you've just said…
| Option 1: “Being cute is different for everyone.” |
|---|
| Player Being cute is different for everyone! Rin is cute in her own way, and Hanamaru is in hers as well. Rin Huh? So it's…okay to be different? It's okay for me to have my own style of cute? |
| Option 2: “The search for cute sure is interesting!” |
| Player Both of your visions for what's cute are completely different. The search for cute sure is interesting! Rin You're right! There are different types of cute that I didn't know about! |
Player
You two want to be cute, but you don't have to both aim for the same vision.
Rin
I wanted to mimic your cute ways, Hanamaru, but maybe I should look for my own ways to be cute?
Hanamaru
I wanted to be cute like you, but I figured there's no way I could mimic your cuteness, Rin. Maybe I should just stay the way I am?
Rin
Yup. I mean, you're already cute as you are right now!
Hanamaru
The same goes for you, Rin! I think you're cuter than the cutest kitty out there, zura!
Rin
Awww… You're making me blush.
Player
I think you two can have a live show of combined cuteness if you join forces as you are right now.
Rin
A live show with…
Hanamaru
…You and me!
Player
Let's make it a live show where everyone can experience a whole bunch of both of your cute ways!
Rin
Yeah, meow!
Hanamaru
Yeah, zura!
