Ruby Ep. 21: Thinking of Costume Designs

You've offered to help Ruby come up with costume designs for Aqours at your house. After mulling and working together, Ruby somehow manages to draw up a few designs, so the two of you decide to go out for some fresh air.

Ruby

The more frills, the cuter it will be… Or is that too many…?

Player

Hmm… Thinking up costumes for the live shows never gets any easier, no matter how much experience you have, does it?

Ruby

I'm sorry. I'm getting you to help me think up costume designs so much that I'm even intruding on you at home now.

Player

Don't worry about it. I was the one who invited you here to brainstorm, remember? I should be apologizing for not being able to give you any helpful advice.

Ruby

Not at all! Thinking of designs together is super helpful for me, and is really reassuring. It helps me remember that I'm not alone, you know?

Player

*Chuckle* Thank you. I'll try my hardest to help you, since you're here and all.

Ruby

Thank you. I'll do my best too!

[Fade in/out.]

Ruby

So, if I put this here… And then that like this…

Ruby

…Okay, it's done!

Player

Really? Can I see it?

Ruby

Of course.

Player

…Yes, perfect! It's adorable!

Ruby

You really think so? *Giggle* Thanks!

Player

You managed to draw up a few designs. What are you going to do with them? Are you going to choose one of them?

Ruby

Hmmm… I'm going to think about it for a while longer. Maybe I'll be able to think of something better.

Player

Okay, that makes sense.

Player

Well then… How about we go out for a bit before that?

Ruby

Huh? Oh, s-sorry! Do you have errands to run? If you're busy, then don't worry about me. Erm, I-I can head home…

Player

No, no, no! I'm not busy! I meant, would you like to go for a walk together or something?

Ruby

A w-walk?

Player

Yeah. You've been concentrating really hard on the designs ever since you arrived. Let's go out and get some fresh air.

Ruby

Some fresh air, huh? Okay! I'd love to go somewhere with you!

Player

Off we go!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

It's so nice outside! The wind feels really good, so it's the perfect weather for walking. Is there anywhere that you'd like to go, Ruby?

Ruby

Hmmm… I'd like to visit the craft store.

Option 1: “Shouldn't we go somewhere unrelated to work?”

Player

Are you sure? Shouldn't we go somewhere unrelated to work to unwind instead?

Ruby

…O-Oh, you're right! I didn't even think of that.

Option 2: “Why?”

Player

Huh? The craft store? Why do you want to go there again?

Ruby

Maybe I'll get a flash of inspiration for the design by looking at all of the materials.

Player

*Chuckle*

Ruby

What is it?

Player

Hm? Oh, that's just like you, that's all.

Ruby

Huh? What do you mean by that?

Player

Nothing. Let's head to the craft store then. There's a new one that just opened, so would you like to check it out?

Ruby

Yeah! Let's go!

???

Ruby?

Ruby

Huh?
