PREPARE TO DESCEND:


AKI: "You called, Yoshiko?"



YOSHIKO: "..."


AKI: "Yohane...?"



YOSHIKO: "Much better. The meetup is apparently being held in a karaoke place in Tokyo this Sunday. I gotta think about what to wear, what to talk about, and how to act!"


AKI: "Let's leave the outfit and discussion topics on the side for now. You can just act the way you do when you're filming, can't you?
Everyone else will be coming as little demons, so you should just act like the fallen angel Yohane in all her glory, Yoshiko."



YOSHIKO: "I'm Yohane, not Yoshiko! And, you're right. It would be more unnatural for me to change the way I am.
This gathering has been arranged by the little demons for them to have an audience with their master, Yohane! I must treat them with dignity in all my Yohane glory!"


Please tell me that this isn't some sort of cult thing...


AKI: "I kinda want to see you revert to your true self at your first meetup though, Yoshiko."



YOSHIKO: "Did you say something? Anyway, you must provide me with undying support at the meetup as well!"


AKI: "Roger that. Don't worry, Yoshi- O Mistress Yohane!"



YOSHIKO: "Yes! Excellent."


Still, I don't know how little demon-like the people attending the meetup will be. It might not be the best idea for her to get caught up in her world.


If these people are just like the producer I saw giving Ayu trouble in Harajuku, then I'm going to have to be prepared in case anything happens.


Though, I doubt her fans are a threat to her. I want Yoshiko to enjoy herself at her very first meetup, so I'll do my best to support her where I can.


AKI: "So we've decided how you'll be acting. Now we can move on to...your outfit? Why don't you just wear your normal clothes? But with your fallen angel image intact."



YOSHIKO: "If that's the case, what about the outfit I wore for my devil-summoning video? Though it's hard to overlook my outfit from the time I predicted the galactic apocalypse!"


AKI: "Uh... Wait, THAT outfit?! Y-You should probably rethink wearing that outside. And in Tokyo of all places..."



YOSHIKO: "What, really? But I quite like it. The cape with the black and purple gradient, the devil horns hair clips, the dark power-stone tiara..."


AKI: "You'd look less like a fallen angel and more like a devil queen if you wore that. Don't you have clothes that are just a little devilish that you can wear out normally?"



YOSHIKO: "I do, but then I'll just end up looking like a regular human."


*Sigh*


AKI: "You'll be fine! Don't worry, Mistress Yohane. It's true, your noble form should be dressed in the appropriate attire. However! One's status is not decided by one's outfit!"


Oh God... I sound so freaking embarrassing...


AKI: "Clothes are but mere accessories! The pure-black aura emanating from your honorable form will never be diminished, regardless of what garments you may wear!"


...Did that work?



YOSHIKO: "I-I see. Okay then. I will wear my regular clothes if you insist, my dear aide."


Wait, THAT worked?!


What a relief, I thought I'd just made a complete fool out of myself.


AKI: "Right, that's that for your clothes. All that's left is your topic of conversation, but I don't think this is something we can really plan until the day of your gathering."



YOSHIKO: "In any case, I'm going to bring some materials with me so we can discuss the netherworld and black magic."


AKI: *Laugh* "Since it'll be a gathering for a fallen angel and her underlings, I guess the conversation will most likely turn dark.
But since we have the opportunity, I still want to think of some other fun things you can talk about or do.
Hmm...
Oh, I know. Mistress Yohane, how about performing some songs?"



YOSHIKO: "Songs?!"


AKI: "Yup. It could also serve as a way to thank your little demons for their daily support of you from the other side of the screen.
What do you think? I'm sure it'll get everyone excited and happy. A meetup-only special solo live show!
It'll only be karaoke, but it will give you some great practice for the joint solo live show coming up."



YOSHIKO: "A special solo live show? That sounds like fun! Okay! I will send my little demons to the depths of the bottom of the underworld with my voice!"


AKI: "Aren't they your little demons because they've already been sent to... Ah, whatever. That's everything planned out.
Hey, that reminds me... How's the practice for your solo performance coming along?"



YOSHIKO: "..."


AKI: "Yo-ha-ne?"



YOSHIKO: "I-it's all going just great! Writing a song is merely an amateurish task for Yohane's expertise."


AKI: "I'm happy to hear that, for in this unstable world stands but one fallen angel, Lady Yohane!"



YOSHIKO: "?!"


AKI: "Hm? Is something wrong?"



YOSHIKO: "N-No, everything's just fine! Really!"
