SOLO LIVE 25 - RIKO SAKURAUCHI:


AKI: "Riko?! Uh... How long have you been there?"


RIKO: "Long enough."


AKI: "O-Oh! I-Is that s-so?!"



YOSHIKO: "Heh heh, keeping to the shadows. Your stealth stats have been raised, Little Demon, Lili."


RIKO: "I thought I told you already. Don't call me that!"


AKI: "Lili?"


RIKO: "Th-That's nothing to worry about!"


YOSHIKO: "If not for my little demon, Lili, here. I may not have possessed the strength necessary for a performance like this."


RIKO: "Huh?!"


AKI: "Really? Tell me more, I'd like to know about your solo rehearsal process."


RIKO: "Y-You don't need to know about that! I should probably be going on stage..."


AKI: "It's fine, the stage hands are setting it up. We have time, tell me more, Yoshiko."



YOSHIKO: "Very well."


RIKO: "Please don't..."


...


RIKO: "You want some help? Sure, if it's something I can handle. What should I do?"



YOSHIKO: "We will now prepare a summoning spell for my dark minions!"


RIKO: "I had a bad feeling about this... And I sure was right."


YOSHIKO: "I figured you wouldn't come if I was totally honest.
Well, you're still a little lacking in experience points as a little demon, Lili, so it's time to support Yohane and level up."



RIKO: "I'm totally fine with being low-level, and I don't remember saying you can call me Lili!"


YOSHIKO: "Well, this is something I needed help for, anyway. Its be really hard to make the altar myself. I require this to give me the power I need for our latest quest."


RIKO: "Altar? Wow, Yoshiko, you've really started going down a scary path. Well, maybe it's a little late to say that, but still."



YOSHIKO: "We're burning daylight, let's get going! First, we're moving the desks to the center of the room.
Lili, can you take the other side of the desk?"


RIKO: "Hey, I didn't say you could call me...
Oh, whatever. Anyway, so when you say dark minion, you mean demons, right? You seriously going to summon one?"



YOSHIKO: "I need advice from a close ally. I knew him back from my days in the netherworld and now he has taken a vessel! We can bring his spirit here using the altar to create a portal!"


RIKO: "Are you referring to-"



YOSHIKO: "Okay, after we've moved the desks, next up is...
Uh. What do we do again?"


RIKO: "Yoshiko, what's the book you've got there? Would a Fallen Angel calling a friend from the netherworld really need 'Black Magic For Dummies'?"


YOSHIKO: "...Yohane."


...



YOSHIKO: "And that's the altar! Sweet! Thanks a bunch, Lili!"


RIKO: "Now this is pretty foreboding.
Hm? Yoshiko, what're you doing?"



YOSHIKO: "Getting ready to stream a video.
All right, there we go. Lili, wear this and stand on the outside of the magic circle."



RIKO: "Huh? What's with this black robe? And, a stream? Wait, you can't mean..."


YOSHIKO: "See, the book says that you need to do this summoning spell with two people. Come, Lili! Let us bear witness to the moment a member of the dark world's vessel is brought to our presence!"


RIKO: "I knew it would end up like this!"


...



RIKO: "You didn't have to tell him everything!"


YOSHIKO: "The dark spell did not work at first. However, the next time I encountered my trusted friend, I received the advice I needed."


AKI: "It's me, isn't it?"



YOSHIKO: "Wha?!"


AKI: "Good grief, if you needed advice for writing your song, you should have just called me to ask."



YOSHIKO: "I..."


RIKO: *Giggle* "He saw right through you, Yoshiko."


YOSHIKO: "YOHANE! Hmm, it would appear that my Right-Hand may be more perceptive than I predicted."


AKI: "Riko, that's the signal from the stage hands. Are you ready?"



RIKO: "Of course, this performance is something I've wanted to show you."


AKI: "Me?"


RIKO: "Just listen."


...



...


That...that song... That symphony! It's the one I recorded Riko playing!


She turned it into a song?!


Riko is incredible!



RIKO: "So, what did you think?"


AKI: "Encore! Encore!"



RIKO: *Giggle* "I don't think that this is the kind of event for that. Maybe I can perform it again sometime? Just for you."


AKI: "J-Just for me?! I feel so lucky... But I feel even more amazed that you turned your melody into a song."


RIKO: "So you did notice."


AKI: "Of course, there's no mistaking a sound like that."


RIKO: "You really are sharp when it comes to music."


AKI: "I have to be. After all... I learned from the best."
