Shizuku Ep. 29: A Princess in Yokohama
Shizuku is cast as a naive princess for the Theater Club's next production, but she tells you that she's been having trouble getting into the role. You decide to take her out and have her roleplay as a princess.
Player
Good morning, Shizuku!
Shizuku
Good morning. I'm looking forward to working with you today!
Shizuku
Wha— Erm…
Player
I'm the camera person today. I'll be sure to snap lots of pics of you, Princess Shizuku.
Shizuku
Oh, please don't call me that! It's so embarrassing!
Player
Aw, but I think it's cute… All right, I'll just stick with Shizuku. So, what do you think a foreign princess would say when she first steps foot in Yokohama Station?
Shizuku
Let's see… It's quite a big place and there are a lot of people.
Shizuku
Maybe something like, “Are they all here for the ball?”
Player
I see. When you think about what a princess would know, that certainly seems like something she would say.
Shizuku
However, that would only apply to this specific space. When she begins to walk around, she may find shops she's never seen before and ask about all the novelties.
Player
Then her camera person would answer all of her questions.
Shizuku
“Oh, my! Tell me, what is this statue of a small girl?”
Player
“That would be a bronze statue depicting a young girl with red shoes from a famous Japanese nursery rhyme, Your Highness.”
Shizuku
“They should have at least painted her shoes red then!” Something like that, perhaps?
Player
*Laugh* That was great, Shizuku. All right, shall we go?
[Fade in/out.]
Shizuku
“Pray tell, what is this white and fluffy delicacy?”
Player
“That would be a steamed pork bun, Your Highness. They are best served piping hot. Please wait a moment… Here you are.”
Shizuku
Oh, you didn't have to actually buy one for me! We're just acting, remember?
Player
Yeah, but it looks tasty, doesn't it? Have some.
Shizuku
W-Well then, um… I shall pay for my own.
Player
How about this? There's more food that I want to try, so we can split this one that I bought. Then you can buy the next thing. Deal?
Shizuku
That sounds like a fantastic idea!
Option 1: “Here's your half.” |

Player All right, here's your half. It's hot, so be careful. Shizuku Thank you! *Nom* Mmm! It's delicious! |
Option 2: “That way, we'll be able to eat lots of things.” |
Player Nice. That way, we'll be able to eat lots of things! Shizuku *Giggle* You sure do love your snacks. Thanks for the bun! |
Shizuku
Hey! Please don't take my picture without even saying anything!
Player
But I'm the camera person today, remember?
Shizuku
Grr! Geez! I'll sneak your picture too, so you'd best be prepared!
