Umi Ep. 13: Meeting of Master and Apprentice
Rina pays Umi a visit after Umi's outstanding solo live show! She wants to be able to express herself more like Umi does, so she asks a huge favor of Umi.
Umi
Rina?! What are you doing here?
Rina
I wasn't trying to get in your way. I'm sorry.
Player
You aren't in our way at all! Right, Umi?
Umi
Of course! I assume you came all the way to Otonokizaka for something specific?
Rina
Actually, I wanted to see you, Umi. But I got self-conscious now that I'm actually standing here in front of you. Rina-chan Board says, “Blush.”
Rina
I didn't tell you during your live show the other day, but…
Player
Are you talking about Umi's solo live show? Did you come to see it, Rina?!
Rina
Yeah, I did.
Umi
I did not notice you there at all. You were even kind enough to come all the way to watch. I'm so sorry.
Rina
You don't have to apologize. I was watching from way off to the side.
Player
What did you think of Umi's performance?
Rina
It was amazing! …Ahem. I got to hear her sing in different ways and see so many different expressions. It was like I got to see right into her heart.
Umi
Thank you so much, Rina! I'm really happy to hear you say that.
Player
Your solo live shows really do have an amazing power to them. I'm in total agreement with Rina!
Rina
When I saw Umi's solo live show, I knew I had to take a step forward too, so I came here.
Rina
I have to say it…
Player
Hm? What's wrong, Rina?
Rina
Umm… Umi!
Umi
Yes, what is it?
Rina
I want to be cool like you! Please make me your apprentice!
Umi
What?!
Player
A-Apprentice?!
Umi
Rina?! I'm not the kind of person who does anything worthy enough of taking someone in as an apprentice!
Rina
I want to express myself even more, just like you do. To be full of emotion and freely show how I feel.
Umi
B-But I feel that I still have a lot of areas to improve in myself. You agree, right?
Player
Me? Um, well…
| Option 1: “Maybe this will help you improve as well?” |
|---|
| Player Giving Rina some advice might also lead to your own improvement, Umi. Why not give it a shot? Umi My own improvement? Umi However! If I am going to do this, then I want to do this for Rina! Rina Umi! Rina-chan Board says, “Hearts.” |
| Option 2: “I think she needs your help, Umi!” |
| Player Rina's asking you because she wants to be more like you, Umi. If that's the case, I think she's going to need your help to do that. Umi But I don't know if I am capable of something like that. Player I think you are, Umi. But if you really think it's unfeasible then maybe it is. Umi I see. So you're saying that it all comes down to how I feel. |
Rina
Pretty please, Umi! If you can't make me your apprentice then at least let me be your little sister!
Umi
L-Little sister?!
Player
Rina, doesn't that option set the bar even higher?!
Rina
You think so? Rina-chan Board says, “Slump.”
Umi
Oh no, Rina! Please don't look so sad.
Umi
You worked up the courage to approach me with this, so now let me meet you in the middle.
Umi
I am not someone worthy of becoming your master. However, there may be some things that I can offer some advice on. Would that be all right?
Rina
Oh! Thank you, Umi!
Umi
Rina and I will do our very best to keep on improving ourselves, so we would like to keep counting on your support as well. Right, Rina?
Rina
Yeah! I'd appreciate it!
Player
Got it! I'll do my best as well to make sure this is a good experience for both of you!
