Rin Ep. 17: Can I Help You Out?
Rin says she wants to be of help to Umi and Nozomi as they all prepare for their sub-unit live show. What happens when she puts her effort into helping them both?
Nozomi
Hmm, if I leave my student council work until after club practice, then I might not complete it in time.
Rin
Ah! Nozomi's in a bind! Now's my chance!
Player
What are you holding those playing cards for, Rin?
Rin
Nozomi! I'll fix your problem for you!
Rin
Give my kitty-cat fortune-telling a try!
Umi
Kitty-cat fortune-telling?
Nozomi
Ooh! Have you gotten into fortune-telling, Rin? I could teach you how to read the tarot next time.
Rin
What? That's not the point! I'm saying that I want to help YOU out by reading your fortune!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Are you busy writing lyrics, Umi?
Umi
Yes. I'm still trying to come up with some kind of theme or direction, though.
Rin
*Gasp* This could be my chance to help out Umi!
Rin
Umi! Umi! How about a song called “Mr. Cat”?
Umi
Mr…Cat?
Rin
Yeah! Y'know, the lyrics could go like… “I'm a helpful little lucky cat… I'll solve all your paw-blems!”
Nozomi
That's so cute! You love cats so much, Rin.
Player
*Chuckle* It'd be fun to see all three of you sing that at your sub-unit live show.
Umi
Then I'll pitch in to help with your lyrics too. Once we finish this kitty song, we should all sing it together.
Rin
B-But if you wind up helping me, then there's no point!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Looks like your kitty-cat fortune-telling and Mr. Cat song are working as planned!
Rin
Sort of! But things aren't going how I imagined they would at all.
Player
They aren't? How so?
Rin
I said I wanted to help out Umi and Nozomi, remember? And when I thought about how I could help, I came up with kitty-cat fortune-telling and the Mr. Cat song…
Rin
But then Nozomi offered to teach me stuff, and Umi tried to think up lyrics with me, so I feel like I just ended up adding to their problems.
Player
Huh, do you really think so?
| Option 1: “I think they were really pleased.” |
|---|
| Player I think they were really pleased that you went to all that trouble for them. Rin You do? I mean, I hope you're right… |
| Option 2: “There's no way they'd think of you as a problem.” |
| Player There's no way they'd think of you as a problem. I guarantee it! Rin You think so? I guess if you're that sure, it's probably true… |
Player
It's okay. You're reading too much into it, Rin.
Rin
Hmm… Still, I feel like things aren't going like I'd imagined.
Rin
Is this really gonna help improve the lily white sub-unit live show?!
