Yoshiko Ep. 16: It's Not Easy Being a Fallen Angel

Yoshiko, Mari, and Riko practice their dancing for their upcoming Guilty Kiss live show. Their movements are out of sync, but Yoshiko in particular seems to be having difficulty with the choreography.

Mari

One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! You're behind, Yoshiko! Lift your arms up higher!

Yoshiko

I-I know! And don't call me Yoshiko!

Riko

Ack! Yoshiko, you're supposed to move back at this part, not move forward!

Yoshiko

I said not to call me Yoshi—aaargh! I'm sorry!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Let's end our practice for today.

Yoshiko

Phew… I'm tired.

Player

Good work, you three! You really worked up a sweat! Here are your towels and drinks.

Yoshiko

How thoughtful, little demon. Actually, right now I am with Guilty Kiss, so I shall call you my familiar.

Mari

Thanks! Nothing beats quenching your thirst after lots of practice!

Riko

Thank you as always. You're really dependable.

Player

It's not a big deal! I just want to help any way I can.

Mari

You're so sweet! You're just an angel! You know, maybe you should help Guilty Kiss exclusively.

Player

Hmm, I don't know about that… I really want to help you guys as much as possible, but I also have the School Idol Club to think about.

Riko

Don't put her in a tough spot like that, Mari.

Mari

Okay, okay! That's enough joking around.

Yoshiko

As usual, it's hard to tell if you're kidding or if you're being serious.

Mari

So what you saw just now was a full run-through of our dance… What did you think?

Player

Mm… To be honest, you were quite out of sync. But today was only your first run-through with the three of you, so I know it'll start shaping up from here.

Player

I think you were rushing a little ahead of the beat, Mari. And Riko, your foot wasn't pointed when you turned. Yoshiko, you, umm…

Yoshiko

Don't say it. I know already. I was the worst out of the three of us.

Riko

You don't seem to have memorized the choreography yet, but could it be that you haven't been practicing because you've been distracted by playing games and making videos?

Yoshiko

Of course not! Whether it be for choreography, videos, or plans to conquer the human world, I devote all of my magic powers to mastering them!

Riko

All of your magic powers, huh… Well, okay then.

Mari

No worries, Yoshiko! Today's only our first day of practice. We'll work on perfecting it from here.

Option 1: “You'll learn it in no time.”

Player

Yeah. You did have the cleanest movements at the most difficult part in the middle of the dance, so I'm sure you'll learn the rest in no time! Keep at it, Yoshiko!

Yoshiko

You guys… STOP calling me “Yoshiko” over and over and over!

Option 2: “There's still plenty of time.”

Player

Yeah! There's still plenty of time until the live show. You can start memorizing it today.

Yoshiko

Of course! The great Yohane will perfect this choreography in the blink of an eye!

[Fade in/out.]

Yoshiko

*Sigh* I need to get this right… I just need to…

Player

Hey, Yoshiko.

Yoshiko

Ack! Wh-What is it?!

Player

I wanted to give you this before I forgot.

Player

It's a fantasy costume reference book that Setsuna asked me to pass on to you. She thought it might come in handy.

Yoshiko

Thanks…

Player

I hope you come up with some cool costumes! I'm really excited to see them!

Yoshiko

……

Yoshiko

Y-Yes, anticipate it greatly! I, Yohane, shall create the most supreme and invincible stage attire in the realm!
