Setsuna Ep. 26: Training through Roleplay!
You've started to understand the concept of the cuteness factor, so you finished writing the signature song for the Light Novel Club's movie. But now, Setsuna thinks that she needs extra training to express it properly.
Setsuna
Sorry to take up time on your day off.
Player
I'm really happy to go out and do something with you, Setsuna. Feel free to invite me along whenever you like.
Setsuna
Thank you.
Setsuna
I was hoping that you'd help me with my training today.
Setsuna
The song that you wrote really is wonderful. I want to use this song to make sure that everyone who's looking forward to the movie experiences the cuteness factor.
Player
Yeah, I'd love to see you do that too.
Setsuna
But there is one thing that I've realized.
Player
What's that?
Setsuna
In the end, I wasn't actually able to teach you what that cuteness factor is.
Player
Huh? But I already got a good idea of it from watching you, Setsuna.
Setsuna
See, you figured it out on your own. I said that I'd teach you what it meant, but I wasn't even able to give you a good explanation.
Setsuna
At this rate, there's no way that I could help everyone who's looking forward to the movie experience the cuteness factor.
Setsuna
So, today I want to do some cuteness training. So we're going to be just like those sisters and…
Setsuna
…have a little day out in Harajuku!
Player
Um, so you want us to act like the sisters in the movie?
Setsuna
That's right. You can play the part of the big sister from the movie. I'll be the little sister.
Setsuna
I want us to act out the things that we think they would do, while I try to figure out what about the little sister evokes her cuteness.
Player
All right. In that case, I'll do my best to be the big sister! By the way, how do the sisters from the movie speak to each other?
Setsuna
In the movie, the little sister is generally really selfish and tries to see how far she can push her sister.
Player
I see…
Setsuna
But every time her older sister looks exasperated, she regrets going too far.
Setsuna
Despite that, she keeps on doing the same thing over and over again. Seeing that struggle repeat itself is really cute!
Option 1: “Try saying something selfish.” |

Player Okay. In that case, try and say something selfish to me, Setsuna. Setsuna Umm… I wanna eat a triple ice cream cone! And I want a bite of yours, too! |
Option 2: “Let's give it a try.” |
Player All right, let's try and act like the two sisters. You go first, Setsuna! Setsuna I wanna have a crepe! And I want a bite of yours, too! |
Player
That's some cute selfishness! Though I wonder if it really was all that selfish… This is training, so try and say something even more unreasonable.
Setsuna
Huh? Even more unreasonable?! Umm, let's see… Okay then.
Setsuna
Forget homework, let's play some more! Come and watch anime with me! I wanna go to that new café that just opened, and I wanna go right now!
[Fade in/out.]
Setsuna
S-Sorry. I couldn't really think of anything that would actually be selfish between two sisters.
Player
*Chuckle* I don't know either. If I had a little sister like you, I'd probably just keep giving in to whatever you wanted.
Setsuna
But this is training, so this won't do! Give me a second and I'll try to think of something more selfish that the little sister might say!
