Umi Ep. 27: With Respect
Umi had fun bowling with you, but she is still disappointed that she wasn't able to bowl as well as she wanted. Umi tells you that she needs to fix her fundamentals first.
Umi
Oomph! Oomph!
Player
How admirable, doing your own training even on your day off, Umi. Is this the ÎĽ's training regimen?
Umi
No, this isn't for ÎĽ's.
Umi
I prepared plenty of training and exercises to help me improve at bowling!
Player
Wait, you're training for bowling?!
Umi
Yes! I want to build up my abdominal muscles, as well as my core and grip strength.
Umi
The last time we went bowling, I was constantly off-center, which resulted in subpar performance.
Player
I see! You're really passionate about your bowling, aren't you, Umi?
Umi
Yes. I want to be able to show this sport some proper respect.
Player
The proper respect? To bowling?
Umi
Last time, I played without any sort of plan in mind.
Umi
So next time, I want to be more respectful and take the game seriously.
Umi
…That must sound very peculiar.
Player
No, not at all…
| Option 1: “It's just what I'd expect of you, Umi.” |
|---|
| Player It's just what I'd expect of you, Umi. It's not a bad thing at all! Umi Do you really think so? Thank you very much. |
| Option 2: “I think it's something I could learn a thing or two from!” |
| Player I think I could learn a thing or two from how seriously you're taking bowling! Umi *Giggle* Then let's do this together. |
Player
You're giving this training all you've got, so I'd better think about what I can do to help.
Umi
If you have any advice, I'd be happy to hear it!
Player
Well, you're the training specialist here… Oh, I know! How about some visualization exercises?
Player
Visualize yourself when you're about to bowl, then…hyah! You try tossing it inside your head.
Umi
Ah, I see! Yes, it's good to try and mentally simulate a game.
Umi
Just look straight ahead, swing the ball back, and…hyah!
Player
Oh my goodness, Umi! Your form just now was beautiful!
Umi
Do you really think so? Thank you so much! Perhaps we will be able to train together after all.
Player
Wait! You mean I'm joining in?
Umi
Of course. I'm so happy that I will be able to train together with you. Let's do our best now!
