Ruby Ep. 6: - A Heartwarming Scene

You stop by the Aqours clubroom to find Ruby teaching Chika and Yoshiko how to make accessories. Ruby's gained a lot of credibility after making such gorgeous brooches for the last live show, and she's quite happy about it.

Yoshiko

Put some glue on here, carefully place the beads on top, and then… Ack! They slid right off!

Chika

After connecting the pieces together, open up the ring with the pliers and… Shoot! My hand slipped and now the ring rolled off somewhere!

Ruby

I-It's okay! Yoshiko, calm down and angle the beads back the right way. Chika, did you see where the ring rolled off to?

Yoshiko

I'm Yohane, not Yoshiko!

Player

What are you three up to?

Yoshiko

Ruby's teaching us the secret arts of crafting magical items.

Chika

She's teaching us how to make accessories!

Player

Oh, I see. No wonder all these beads and needle-nose pliers are strewn across the table. That's pretty impressive, Ruby. You're their teacher!

Ruby

I-I wouldn't go as far as to call me a teacher, especially since I'm not very good at explaining some parts. Chika, Yoshiko, I'm sorry.

Chika

That's not true at all! Your directions are so easy to follow! Plus, sometimes your face gets really serious when you're teaching us something and you look super cool!

Option 1: “I totally agree.”

Player

I totally agree. You have such a different air about you when you work that seeing you in action makes my heart skip a beat.

Ruby

Eek!

Option 2: “I know what you mean!”

Player

I know what you mean! She goes from being all bashful and doe-eyed to sharp and focused. We've discovered an unexpected side to Ruby, but it's just charming as her usual self!

Ruby

D-D-Do I really change that much?

Player

More importantly, why are you making accessories?

Chika

Because the brooches Ruby made for the live show the other day were so pretty, they inspired us to try our hand at making them ourselves!

Yoshiko

I figured they had to be store-bought. Never would I have guessed they were handmade! I was shocked when she told me.

Chika

And you helped her make them, right? Thank you!

Player

I didn't do much. All I did was help out by following Ruby's instructions. Ruby came up with the designs for the brooches all on her own.

Ruby

No, I don't think I would've had the resolve to follow through with making them if I'd been alone. I only finished them up because I had your help.

Player

That's not true. I'm sure you would've managed to do it without me.

Ruby

No, it's because I had your help

Yoshiko

Enough, enough. What it boils down to is that you both had a hand in making the brooches. Yohane's heart swells with pride knowing I have such capable little demons under me!

Chika

Ruby, aside from the brooches, you also altered our costumes, right? You even stayed behind after school to work on them. Thank you so, so much.

Ruby

Oh, you don't have to thank me. I know I should've asked first. I just wanted to stand on stage with everyone in our cute outfits. That's why I just went ahead and…

Yoshiko

That's nothing to beat yourself up over. Your adjustments have only ever been for the better, and never once for the worse. We'd never spring complaints onto you now.

Chika

Yeah. We've all got complete faith in you, Ruby!

Ruby

Oh, Chika, Yoshiko!

Chika

On the other hand, I think we'd prefer if you did tell us from now on instead of going solo. We might not be as skilled as you, but we still wanna help!

Ruby

Okay, you got it! I'll make sure I talk to everyone first from now on!

Player

(Looks like this whole brooch thing has inspired everyone to trust Ruby a lot more.)

Player

(I hope this continues so that more people know how hard Ruby tries, and how much she cares about Aqours.)
