Umi #546: Tackling a New Hairstyle!

Player

I'm glad that I talked things over with Umi.

Player

It's her day off, but she was still willing to make time for me. She really is so kind.

Player

All right then, I'll go pick up a souvenir and get going. I wonder what I should buy to take along.

[Fade in/out.]

Umi

Hmm… This way, perhaps? *Sigh*

Umi

Or more like this? Or this?

Umi

H-Huh? That feels wrong somehow.

Umi

How about…this?

Umi

Urgh… This is so difficult.

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Hello there, Umi! Hope I'm not interrupting!

Umi

Ack!

Umi

Oh, it's just you…

Player

S-Sorry for just calling out to you all of a sudden.

Umi

Not at all. I see it's getting to that time. I apologize for not going out to meet you.

Player

No, it's fine! I'm the one who should be sorry for messaging you out of the blue on your day off. You're doing me a big favor by hearing me out.

Player

But…it looks like you were in the middle of something?

Umi

Errr, n-no, this isn't anything. It's fine!

Umi

Just… Since I had a little time before you arrived, I thought I'd try my hand at a hairstyle I saw in a magazine, and…

Umi

Well, I've made quite a mess of it.

Umi

It seemed so simple in the magazine, but it's rather challenging when you try it for real. *Sigh*

Player

I see. Oh, Kasumi mentioned that she watches videos about stuff like hair styling and makeup. Why don't you try using a video as a reference?

Umi

Ah, that might just work. I'll take a look.

[Fade in/out.]

Umi

Hmm… After watching a number of videos, I feel like even a beginner like me can do this one. What do you think?

Player

Let's see. Ooh, this one looks very simple!

Umi

Just as I thought!

Umi

But…I mustn't! You came here to talk with me, after all. I can style my hair after we are done.

Player

Well… I kinda want to see how you look with your hair styled after watching that video.

Player

Why don't you give it a try just once while using the video as a guide? We can talk after that. Please!

Umi

Well, if you insist…

Player

And I have one more request! Let me style your hair for you! You see…

Option 1: “You have such silky, gorgeous hair!”

Player

Your hair is so silky and gorgeous!

Umi

Whaaat?! I-I don't think it's anything special.

Option 2: “It's so glossy that I want to feel it!”

Player

Your hair is so glossy. I've always wanted to touch it, even just once!

Umi

Whaaat?! But…I don't know if it's even worth other people touching…

[Fade in/out.]

Umi

Um, I'm not very used to the idea of having you touch my hair.

Umi

Though I do understand that you will take utmost care of it. You have very gentle hands.
