Nico #233: Be On Guard Next Time

Player

Hey Nico, I heard a lot happened on that trip you guys took the other day.

Nico

Huh? Y-You saw the picture, didn't you?! Who do I have to yell at? Kanata? Or was it Shizuku?!

Player

Both of them.

Nico

Both of them?!

Option 1: “I've never seen you cry like that before.”

Player

I've never seen you cry like that. I only know what you look like when you're laughing or getting mad, so this was a surprise.

Nico

I don't get mad that often! Ugh, this is the worst. I can't get away from the teasing even in ÎĽ's! That Nozomi is always up to no good!

Option 2: “You look great no matter what face you're making.”

Player

You're cute even when you're crying. I wouldn't have expected anything less from the galaxy's greatest idol. You're cute no matter what face you're making.

Nico

Really? Heh. Of course I am. Wait, that doesn't make me feel better! If she wanted a picture of me crying, I could've done a wilting flower look! Ugh, she drives me crazy!

Player

I know, I know. Nozomi really was worried about you and Chika, though.

Player

The whole reason she took that picture in the first place was to send a warning, right?

Nico

Err… I mean, yeah she did. And I do feel pretty bad for having been so thoughtless, but…

Nico

But she was getting a kick out of it too! Why else would she be waving it in everyone's faces, huh?!

Player

I-I think that might be a bit of an exaggeration…

Nico

Tch… See if I ever show HER a crying face again. I'm not gonna be so careless next time!

Player

Next time? You're going on another trip?

Nico

Er, no, we're not, but like… I'm saying IF we were to go on another trip.

Player

Right. Well, I hope I can go next time you all decide to go to a hot spring.

Nico

Then don't be so busy next time! I'm not gonna let it slide if you miss out again!

Player

Roger that. I hope you'll be there next time, too.

Nico

Oh, I'll be there all right. After all, hot springs' sole purpose on this planet is to make me even more beautiful than ever.

Player

Huh… So I wasn't just imagining it!

Nico

Imagining what?

Player

Well, I'd been thinking you looked even more radiant than usual since you came back from your vacation and couldn't quite put my finger on why.

Nico

Heh heh heh! So you noticed, too. It was my beauty shining through after getting a boost from the hot springs!

Nico

My skin is as soft as a marshmallow, and it's silky smooth to the touch! That vacation has given me the ultimate body.

Player

It really did all that?!

Nico

You wanna feel for yourself, don't you? Very well, I shall grant you special permission to touch me! Feel away!

Player

Thanks! Don't mind if I do.

Nico

Eep! Hey! I stuck my arm out for a reason! Why are you touching my face?!

Player

S-Sorry, I got carried away. But wow, you weren't kidding! Your skin is so soft and smooth. It feels amazing!

Nico

Rrrrgh… Ugh, okay, you're done! No more touchy!

Player

Oh, fine. But if this is what you can get out of one dip in a hot spring, I can only imagine what'll happen after two or three trips.

Nico

I mean, we did take several baths while we were there. But I know what you mean. I shudder to think what would happen if I were to get any more beautiful than I already am!

Player

I'd love to see it, personally. You're already pretty enough, but I'd love to see just how beautiful you can get.

Nico

Now that's what I like to hear. All the more reason you better not skip out on the next hot spring trip.

Player

You said it! I'll definitely be there. Who knows? Maybe I'll get an even more candid shot than the one of your crying!

Nico

Crying…? Ugh, would you let that go already?!
