Ruby Ep. 12: A Gear Out of Alignment
Helping Ruby out makes you so happy. However, the amount of attention you have been giving her has started to grow into a cause of worry in Ruby's mind.
Player
Hey Ruby, how's it going?
Ruby
Hello. It's going great! You were watching me practice, so I know my dancing skills definitely got better.
Player
I'm glad. I can totally see how rapidly you're improving. That said, let's focus on voice training for today's practice!
Ruby
Okay. Oh, by the way…
Player
Hm?
Ruby
You've been in Uchiura a lot recently. Are Nijigasaki's activities going all right with you gone? You know, like practice and song-writing? The commute here is just so long…
Ruby
I am happy that you're here to talk to and that you can watch over our practices. It's a huge help, but…I don't want you to push yourself.
Player
Thanks for worrying about me, Ruby. But you really don't have to. I'm not just leaving Nijigasaki high and dry by coming here.
Player
The days I'm gone I make sure everyone knows the practice schedule in advance. Song-writing I can do on my way here, so that's coming along fine.
Ruby
But wouldn't everyone in the school idol club feel more secure if you were with them? Especially if some trouble comes up.
Player
They're fine. They're all leagues ahead of me at this school idol thing. Also, I always tell them to get in touch with me if anything comes up.
Player
I think you can fly even higher than you have already, Ruby. That's why I want to do anything I can to help you.
Player
I'm doing all this because I want to. So you don't have to worry about anything. I just want you to focus on what it is you want to do.
Ruby
…Okay.
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
Lalala, lala!
| Option 1: “You're so comfortable singing now.” |
|---|
| Player All right, that's good! You sound so comfortable singing. Well, you always have, but now even more so. Ruby Y-You think so? Thank you. |
| Option 2: “You can project your voice much better now.” |
| Player Ruby, your voice comes out much more now! You always sing your heart out, but your register is much wider and you can project your voice so much further than you used to! Ruby Really? I'm so glad. The way you teach is also really easy to understand. |
Player
Let's take a short break. Make sure to drink some— Oh no, I drank all my water. I'm going to go buy some more.
Ruby
Oh, wait, I'll go with… She's already gone.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Ruby, sorry about the wait!
Ruby
Welcome back! Ummm, Chika just called me. She wanted me to give you a message.
Player
Me?
Ruby
Yeah. The Nijigasaki girls want you to call them. She said they tried calling you, but you didn't answer.
Player
Everyone? Let's see…
Player
Oh wow, they really did. There are so many missed calls from them! I didn't notice at all. I need to call them right back.
Ruby
Ummm… Would it maybe be a good idea for you to head back for today?
Player
Aww, you think? But we haven't finished practice. I'll stay until the end.
Ruby
I'm sure everyone at Nijigasaki is waiting for you. If they called you that much, something urgent must have come up.
Ruby
Don't worry about me. I have the rest of Aqours here with me. So you can head home, okay?
Player
Ruby… Okay, got it. I'll head back then. See you later.
Ruby
Yep, bye-bye. Get back safe!
