Setsuna Ep. 23: Setsuna's "Cuteness Factor" Coaching!
At the grand school event that is the Nijigasaki Film Festival, clubs hoping to win will screen their films. Each club has asked a School Idol Club member for promotion help. Setsuna's helping the Light Novel Club!
Setsuna
Everyone's putting so much effort into the film festival.
Player
Yeah. You are too, aren't you?
Setsuna
Of course I am! I'm doing everything in my power to be of use to the Light Novel Club, since they asked for my help specifically!
Setsuna
Accordingly, there's the song which I wanted to ask you about…
Player
Leave it to me! Let's come up with a song that'll fit perfectly with the Light Novel Club's entry!
Setsuna
Yes!
Player
Okay then, first of all, could you tell me what that club's movie is about?
Setsuna
Hmm, well…
Setsuna
*Sigh*
Player
S-Setsuna? What is it? Is it hard to explain?
Setsuna
No, I was just trying to figure out where to begin. I mean…
Setsuna
I mean, it's just such an amazing masterpiece!
Player
O-Okay.
Setsuna
The two sisters who are the main characters are so cute, I just can't! I'm dead! I can hardly breathe! That's the kind of movie it is. Their relationship is just so good!
Setsuna
The younger sister is a troublemaker who uses her cuteness to her advantage and it leads to all kinds of trouble, but every single thing she does is just so cute!
Setsuna
And her big sister who watches over her, or saves her actually, gets drawn into her messes but she has so much love for her and it's so sweet…
Setsuna
To borrow a word the Light Novel Club likes to use, it's the very personification of the term “cuteness factor.” They told me they packed in as much of it as possible!
Setsuna
And they told me that they want me to act as a sort of trigger to really ignite that cuteness factor.
Player
A trigger that ignites the cuteness factor…
Setsuna
Yes. Would you help me…create a song that does that?
| Option 1: “That sounds a little tricky.” |
|---|
| Player Of course I want to create this with you, but it sounds a little tricky. I'm not that familiar with what this “cuteness factor” is, so would you teach me? Setsuna If you're asking me to, I'd love to! |
| Option 2: “First I need to educate myself.” |
| Player Before we make the song, I need to educate myself on that feeling first. Can we do that? Setsuna That's true, you need to understand. Got it. I'd also like to study that emotion all over again. |
Player
So how would you explain what the concept of a cuteness factor is in easy-to-understand terms?
Setsuna
Hmm… It might be a bit difficult to express it in words.
Setsuna
For me, it's when looking at a character's gestures, expressions, and emotions tugs at my heart and all I can do is roll around on my bed. I can't help it—it's that intense.
Player
You can't help it… Wow…
Setsuna
Sorry. I made it sound fancier than it is. In short, it's when you feel all like, this is so cute I can't even stand it and I don't know what to do with myself!
Player
So cute you can't even stand it and don't know what to do… I might be able to understand if I looked at something that's taken cuteness to the max.
Setsuna
That's very true. And speaking of cuteness makes me think of Kasumi, so let's go ask her about it!
