Ch. 36 Ep. 6: The Road to Beauty Part 1
The first-years have chosen “beauty” as what they're currently obsessed with. Today, they have all headed off to the shopping mall to film their video. What is it that they're after?
Player
Are you guys all ready? I'm going to start filming in three, two, one—action!
Kasumi
Yoohoo! It's everybody's idol—Kasumin!
Shizuku
I'm Shizuku Osaka.
Rina
Rina Tennoji.
Shioriko
And my name is Shioriko Mifune.
Kasumi
Today, we first-years in the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will be introducing you to all the beauty-related things we're obsessed with right now!
Shizuku
We're currently in search of beauty.
Rina
All of this got kickstarted when Uzuki and Satsuki, the student council secretaries, taught us yoga.
Shioriko
Indeed. We are receiving lessons from them.
Kasumi
We're planning on filming some footage of us doing yoga later, but come and join us today as we all go beauty shopping!
Kasumi
Do you know why? 'Cause the lipstick I've been excited about for soooooo long is finally going on sale today!
[Fade in/out.]
Shizuku
They're all so cute! It's hard to decide with so many options available…
Rina
It says it changes color to suit you… What color would it become?
Shioriko
It looks like it changes according to the moisture level of your lips.
Kasumi
Does that mean it'll become a color unique to me?! Oooh! I WANT IT!
Shizuku
Aren't you here to buy an orange lipstick today?
Kasumi
ACK! That's right! I always choose something like a cute pink, but I figured orange would be nice too!
Rina
You're always bright and full of energy, so it's perfect for you.
Shioriko
I agree. Why don't you put some on to see how it looks?
Kasumi
You should try some as well, Shioko.
Shioriko
Me?! I couldn't possibly. I may still be too young for makeup…
Shizuku
Hearing you say that makes me want to put makeup on you even more…
Rina
Shizuku's makeup can be pretty impressive sometimes, Shioriko.
Shizuku
It's because I do a lot of theater makeup. *Giggle*
Shioriko
I-I will try some on with Kasumi!
Shioriko
Um, h-how about this one here? It's the lightest pink color…
Kasumi
Wow! Not bad, Shioko! You don't look as cute as me, but you're pretty adorable!
Rina
Mmhmm. It suits you. Rina-chan Board says, “Swoon.”
Shizuku
You look stunning, Shioriko!
Shioriko
Th-Thank you very much…!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Great job, guys. We got some great footage!
Shizuku
It ended up being a fulfilling shopping trip too.
Rina
I'm looking forward to using this sheet mask. It smells so nice.
Kasumi
I was only planning on buying lipstick, but I bought a whole bunch of other stuff too!
Shioriko
I'm happy I could buy matching lipsticks with you, Kasumi.
Kasumi
Shioko! Let's get some other matching things again sometime!
Shioriko
Yes, let's!
Player
I'll film your yoga video on another day, okay?
Rina
Okay. I'll do my best to make sure I can pull off some difficult poses by then.
Shioriko
Like the Crow Pose… That one is quite the struggle.
Kasumi
Ah well! We can think about all that later. We're here at a diner now so that means it's time for Rinako and Kasumin's specially mixed drinks!
Shizuku
I'd like something tea-based.
Kasumi
On it!
Player
Come on, everyone. Let's decide on what we want to eat before we hit the drinks.
Everyone
Okaaay.
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Aren't you eating a little too much, Shizuko? Like, we're here to hone our beauty skills…
Shizuku
What? Do you think so?
Kasumi
Well, you're eating creamy crab croquettes AND a cheese-and-curry rice gratin, so…
Shizuku
That's because I couldn't choose between them! Besides, you're one to talk. You've got a chicken steak meal that comes with fried shrimp and fries!
Kasumi
That's 'cause I just GOTTA have my fried shrimp. And my fries too!
Shioriko
The two of you should make sure to eat enough vegetables as well.
Kasumi
Urk… I mean, potatoes are veggies…
Shioriko
Technically, yes. However…
Shioriko
Oh? Are you done, Rina?
Rina
Yeah, I'm full. You guys can finish this off if you want.
Shizuku
But you've still got some of your BLT left over. Actually, I might have some of that since there are vegetables in it.
Kasumi
Me too!
Rina
Sure. Here you go.
Shioriko
You should eat a little more, Rina.
Shioriko
These lotus-root meatballs have a delicious crunch to them. Would you like a bite?
Rina
Ahhh… *Munch* It has a subtle flavor. Thanks. Rina-chan Board says, “Bow.”
Shioriko
*Giggle* These cucumber and salted kelp pickles are nice and refreshing too. Here you go. Open up.
Rina
Homph… *Munch* *Chew*
Kasumi
Awww! No fair! Rinako's hogging it all! I want some too!
Shizuku
Then you can have some of my creamy crab croquettes. Here you go. Open up wide!
Kasumi
Yaaay!
