Yoshiko Ep. 30: Short Videos Are Tough
After her last live stream, Yoshiko has decided to create a short video for social media. She starts recording right away, but things don't go well.
Yoshiko
Little demons! Let us discuss my next move to enlighten the human world of my power!
Player
Your next move?
Yoshiko
Geez! I told you about this on the live stream, didn't I?!
Player
Ohhh, the short video! You should've just come out and said that.
Yoshiko
Correctly understanding your master's words is a crucial skill for a little demon. Don't let yourself get rusty just because you're one of my favorite servants!
Yoshiko
Now, let's get to the point. What should the content of this short video be? Is a shorter version of my usual streams okay?
Player
I think the video is only supposed to be between 30 and 60 seconds. The shorter it is, the easier it'll be to watch.
Yoshiko
Let's focus on what we can do right now. Although since we're in school, there's limits to what I can do…
Yoshiko
Ta-da! Here's my Portable Demon World Correspondence and Fortune Telling Set!
Player
A crystal ball, candles, a doll, magical books and cards, some strange-looking accessories… Wow, you brought all this from home?
Yoshiko
Now, let us begin! Little demon, tell me what you wish to know! I will divine the future for you!
Player
Thank you! Okay… Tomorrow's weather!
Yoshiko
Leave it to me!
Yoshiko
Beasts that sleep deep within the earth, black-blooded ones who lurk in the depths of chaos, hear my voice and let resound your howls of awakening!
[Fade in/out.]
Yoshiko
I hear it! Tomorrow's weather will be clear with occasional clouds!
Player
Okay, that was 10 minutes 42 seconds.
Yoshiko
Whoa! It really took that long? And I left out everything I could to shorten the length…
| Option 1: “You did?!” |
|---|
| Player You did?! Now I'm curious how long the normal version is… Yoshiko I can show you next time. It'll probably take all night, so prepare to sleep over. |
| Option 2: “If you cut things out of an incantation…” |
| Player If you cut out the whole incantation, maybe you'll barely make it under a minute? Yoshiko Impossible. Cutting out any more would greatly affect the accuracy of the divination. |
Player
Is there anything you could do in a shorter time?
Yoshiko
Let's see… Why don't I summon a demon? I think I can summon a weak one pretty quickly.
[Fade in/out.]
Yoshiko
…Ah! *Pant* …How long was that?
Player
Two minutes!
Yoshiko
Ugh! So close!
Player
Not that close… Hmm, seems like it'll be tough to do the things you usually do on stream.
Yoshiko
Then what should I do?! What can I even fit into one minute…?
Player
Oh, what about something like… Mistress Yohane's Numazu Fallen Angel Tour?
Yoshiko
Fallen Angel Tour?!
