Char	text
Riko	I wonder how I should tackle the new song for the live show. I wanna make something burning with sizzling-hot, ice-cold passion—from the lyrics to the melodies! 1 +
Player	Th-That sounds pretty different from what you suggested before.
Yoshiko	Now it's just weird in a different way! What the heck does that even mean?! 2
Mari	Aw, and I was enjoying our fallen angel Lili so much! That's a shame. 3 +
Player	Hm? Hey, Riko? Is that a makeup set that you have out on the desk there?
Riko	Totally! I'm training up my makeup skills for the live show! I can't keep relying on Mari to lecture me on how to do it properly! 4 +
Mari	There's no need to worry about that. I love doing your makeup! 5 +
How cool!
Player	Guilty Kiss' makeup style is really mature and cool! Now I'm curious as to what kind of makeup you'll use...
Riko	Then today, I'll give you a special lecture on how to do your own Guilty Kiss-style makeup! 6 +
I've never seen you wear flashy makeup before.
Player	Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen you wear flashy makeup outside of Guilty Kiss, Riko.
Riko	Then allow me to demonstrate! I'll get myself fancied up. You just wait there. 7 +
Yoshiko	Lemme see your makeup kit too! Hmm. Lipstick, blush, eyeshadow, false eyelashes... 9
Player	The...colors are intense as well. Blue, black, green, and purple... There's even some with glitter mixed into them. That's Guilty Kiss for you.
Riko	It's important to make a strong impression, you know? You gotta look cool, dark, and mysterious. Not to mention exciting and wild, in a rock star kinda way! 11
Riko	All those charms that Guilty Kiss has can be represented 120% with makeup! 12
Player	Whoa... I've never seen you use a color like that before, Riko. Are you sure it's okay? Maybe you should thin it out a bit more.
Yoshiko	You think so? I think it's pretty good. Now she looks more like a little demon than ever before. 13
Mari	A girl's makeup kit is like her set of magic items! She's only going to She's only going to become prettier and prettier with each spell she casts on herself. 14
Riko	............ 15
Player	Riko? Is something wrong?
Riko	My face looks...totally unrecognizable. 17 +
Yoshiko	Well of course it does. You're wearing makeup you would never usually wear. Actually, you've seen yourself like that a few times now through your practice runs, haven't you? 18 +
Riko	That's true... But I think similar things each time I practice. It feels like there's a different version of me inside the mirror, one that I don't recognize. 19 +
Riko	It's different from my regular self and from how I am as part of Aqours... If I had never joined Guilty Kiss, there's no way I would have met this version of myself. 20
Riko	When I think of it that way, my heart starts to beat loudly in my chest. I always brush it off as mid-show excitement when it happens onstage, though. 21 +
Riko	When I really take my time and consider Guilty Kiss, I feel like I can understand why. Guilty Kiss is the very definition of eccentric. 22 +
Riko	It's a world that's kind of separated from my ordinary routine. It makes my heart race and pound, but that sensation is what makes me want to treasure it. The group lets me bask in all of those feelings. 23 +
Riko	People love Guilty Kiss because it creates that kind of world. I wonder if perhaps we should be trying to show people more of that eccentricity of ours... 24
Yoshiko	Why are you quibbling so much over this?! 25 +
Riko	Wh-What?! I was being really serious about everything I said. 26 +
Mari	Guilty Kiss is so beloved because it has the three of us singing together. We have the dark Yoshiko, the cool and collected Riko, and me, the mysterious Mari! 28 +
Riko	I-I'm not cool at all! 29 +
Mari	Isn't it pretty cool how you can ruthlessly brush off Yoshiko's Yohane talk? 30
Yoshiko	Don't brush me off! Coolly or otherwise! 31
Player	*Laugh* To be honest, I think that both of you made good points with what you said.
Player	Only you guys could deliver such heart-pounding, pulse-quickening eccentricity. It's a charm unique to this sub-unit called Guilty Kiss.
Riko	Thank you. It's only because of you that I realized it in the first place. 32
