ぼくらのプレゼン - "Our Presentations"

Yuni
Dear, dear, it seems the angel of giving did not smile upon any of us from Yunichan's. Presenting those projects was certainly embarrassing, even when the contents were not originally embarrassing... So, comrade. Of our three proposals, which one would you have selected?

1. "Yuni's Exploding Inferno Show."

Yuni
Don't be foolish, it was not a show. That explosion was merely an unfortunate accident for which no one was at fault. Understand? If the authorities come enquiring, you'll respond as such, yes? There's nothing wrong with it, since the world is already full of lies anyway. Yunicopter? Never heard of it.

2. "Chloe's original brand."

Yuni
Hm, while Chloe's fashion sense is the genuine article, calling it a brand might be somewhat too lofty. But on that subject. I wonder how a project consisting of converting my scientific illustrations into clothing would fare. Well, comrade, let's begin by imprinting this lovely self-portrait of me onto your overcoat... Whoaaa!

3. "Chelle's Talk-to-you Chelle."

Yuni
Hm, yes, it's quite excellent indeed. After all, its actual makers were myself and Chloe. While Chelle did offer a great volume of verbal input, I was never able to understand how the usage of "chelluun" was incorrect in several hundred conversational buttons, as she claimed.

続・ユニっぽい人 - "A Yuni-like Person, Continued"

Yuni
Now then, comrade. To continue our previous investigation, I believe that you have quite an extensive network of friendships with women. As I asked once before, I wonder if there are any within your network whose soul would resonate with that of a fellow aloof spirit. Or, as I previously expressed things more concisely, someone similar to me.

1. "Monika."

Yuni
Someone who gets angry when mistaken for a child? Ha ha, quite immature. On the contrary, I am one who finds practical uses for this. That this body is not yet fully developed is a fact borne out in mirrors and measurements. If one has a weapon, use it. That is of the essence. Let the charm of an adult exude from your conduct and your speech.

2. "Shiori."

Yuni
Oh, a book-reading young lady. I see, what else? No, let me hear some other qualities we share. Do not just latch on to the book-reading. True, it is a major pastime. But if that is the only way we are alike... What, physically frail? Staggers when a strong wind blows? Ah... We're alike after all.

3. "Hecate of the Gale."

Yuni
What's that? Of the Gale... Surely that would be someone with whom Chloe would sympathize more? Mm, so she's the author of "War of the Nether Tempest." Quite a fantastical work... Wait. Does this mean that you see my noble research uncovering the truths of the universe in the same light...?

タマキについて - "About Tamaki"

Yuni
I wonder what that girl, the one known as Tamaki, is like. The Foundation's remarkable development capabilities are certainly due in part ot their superior staff, but she is the one marshalling those workers from the vanguard... I suppose she is no ordinary person.

1. "A cat-type beastperson."

Yuni
Obviously. It would be most troublesome if you told me she was something like a pig-type beastperson. In any case, I'd very much like for her to help me with the development of the Yunicopter Mk. II. Yes, I'm busy to the point of recruiting cats.[1] Or something. Quite funny, no?

2. "A taiyaki seller."

Yuni
Taiyaki... A treat made of boiled bean paste mixed with sweetener, and enclosed in a fish-shaped pastry. Oh, no, I'm not interested. I don't enjoy solid foods. They're tiring on the jaw and heavy on the stomach. However? I do like the composite berry cakes that you give me... Ba-dump.

3. "Phantom Cats."

Yuni
What does that mean... A noble thief? That's what it refers to, right? Stealing from unscrupulous merchants, and redistributing to the impoverished or the victimized. So? You're saying that Tamaki's true identity is such? Ah, I understand. This is something you were not supposed to tell me. I'll forget about it for you.

アキノについて - "About Akino"

Yuni
The leader of the Mercurius Foundation, Akino, seems to be the same age as me. It must be a heavy responsibility for her, carrying the reputation of her distinguished family at such a young age. I wonder what kind of person that young lady is truly like. Perhaps she is the type to bash commoners over the heads with rolls of banknotes.

1. "Gets lost easily."

Yuni
Hm, residing in the palace above, she knows not her way through the city streets below. It's very likely -- I, too, often find myself estranged from the customs of the world, having grown up in a village of elders. Ah, and that means I myself = celeb! Ahh ha ha -- cough, cough!

2. "Spends money easily."

Yuni
What, she routinely spends such vast sums? What a dangerous young lady... Or, perhaps, this is what they call "noblesse oblige," the responsibility of the "haves" to the "have-nots." So when you ask her to stop, you should consider this. Consider those who would be stopped.

3. "Always comparing against Saren."

Yuni
What, Mama Saren of the Sarendia Orphanage, formerly known as Miss Saren? Ah, well, I have various connections to her of my own, you see. The explanation would be quite lengthy, but... Eh, wait, you're staying in one of their rooms right now? Did they really have that kind of an all-you-can-eat care plan?

最近のユニチャンズ -- "Yunichan's Lately"

Yuni
Hello, comrade, good to see you today. No, I don't mind. With how diverse your social network is, I know it must be difficult to drop by this school every day. So, how have you been lately. Ah, you'd like to hear about us too. Hm, then, let us have a mutual exchange of reports.

1. "About Yuni."

Yuni
Me, huh. Indeed, well, I have been the sole person handling the paperwork at our guild. Well, it can't very well be helped. Chloe is not suited to this task, and Chelle is the way she is. Since the two of them are such free spirits, I try my best to be the conscience of the group.

2. "About Chloe."

Yuni
Chloe, huh. It seems that she went off to some kind of job to save the world. An entertaining jest, since who knows whether this world is even worth saving. Around the same time, I was endeavoring to enter a period of intellectual convalescence. To express things more concisely, I was procrastinating.

3. "About Chelle."

Yuni
Chelle, huh. Just like you, she was originally a girl with an extensive social network. On days when we have no guild activites after class, she warmly interacts with friends in and out of the school. I shan't lose to her. I, too, shall warm my friendships. This will be a battle of quality against quantity!

遠回りで要領を得ない話 - "Beating Around the Bush"

Yuni
Hmph, those incapable folks at the mechanical engineering department. They told me to stop beating around the bush and get to the point. Rich, considering those blokes and their endless yammering. I'm still in a mood to answer questions, so why don't you ask me something?

1. "What does Dr. Yuni mean?"

Yuni
So you know to call me that, as well. It is only a nickname for a distinguished scholar -- a carrot on a stick that the academy dangled before my nose. You see, I was quite the promising prospect when I was first entering this school... But without having produced sufficient results, I can hear the irony in that name now.

2. "What does truths of the universe mean?"

Yuni
Ahh... What indeed. Hearing that question puts me in an exquisite, almost nostalgic mood. Sometimes I feel as though I've forgotten the meaning of those words, even though in truth I could never. Well, there's no need for notes right now. Instead, let's go attend our guild activities, friend!

3. "What does enjoying your youth mean?"

Yuni
Indeed. I have always been searching for that answer. It hangs over my thoughts, perhaps like a cloud. When viewed from a distant mountain summit, they form grand white shapes, but to arrive there, one must make one's way through those very mists... Huh, I said something nice there. I should write this down.

ミフユについて - "About Mifuyu"

Yuni
Hey, underclassman. It's strange, isn't it. What could be going on here. Ordinarily, Chloe would have no qualms with no-holds-barred fights, but when it comes to Miss Mifuyu, all she has to say is "nice." I'd like to know what sort of person your mentor is.

1. "An efficient person."

Yuni
Hm, one who prizes efficiency and is loath to waste... Like a pretentious scientist. However, it would be a lie to say I don't empathize. For the current configuration of my room is also maximal in terms of efficiency. Or as a normal person might say, I like it messy.

2. "A freeter."

Yuni
Ohh, the eldest sister of a large family who's absorbed in her work... They do share similar circumstances, then. Chloe has long been striving to be the good eldest sister of her family. But perhaps she herself wishes to have an older sister-like figure in her life... Ah, am I not good enough?

3. "A dragon slayer."

Yuni
One who slays dragons... So Chloe is weak to those kinds of devious aliases. Then, henceforth, I will also be known as "The Ivory Academician." What, too complicated? If it's not understandable, then it defeats the purpose. Then, to express things more concisely, I'll make it "Smart Yunichan."

同志のプレゼン - "Comrade's Presentation"

Yuni
Hey, collaborator. Allow me to share with you the teachings I derived from this special course. Those teachings are that presentations are surprisingly hard. To demonstrate, yes, why don't you describe to me one of the other guilds you have relations with.

1. About Gourmet Palace.

Yuni
A food-sampling guild. Hmm, I myself have little interest in sampling food... What, you consume monsters, too? Now that sounds interesting -- you've piqued my intellectual curiosity. Or to express things more concisely... terrible, huh? Yes, that's it! Terrible, huh! [2]

2. About Little Lyrical.

Yuni
Ahh, they're the children we met at the local mixer. Personally, I'm forming quite the connection to them. Through our practice simulations of family roles, I have gained much cultural understanding. Dear, dear, aligning my system of values to theirs is certainly difficult, but that is the responsibility of an adult such as me.

3. About Forestier.

Yuni
Oh, the guild from the elven forest that Aoi is affiliated with. She mentioned that the guild master was Miss Misato... Wait, what's this you're saying about her teaching at this "Holy Mother" nursery school. Tell me more. No, I can hear about Hatsune some other time. Tell me more about Miss Misato.

ユカリについて - "About Yukari"

Yuni
Hm? What's this scent. Sniff, sniff... It reminds me of the liquid medicines in Miss Mitsuki's lab... Huh? You say that Miss Yukari was here earlier? This smell... Could this mean that Miss Yukari is a student of chemistry or pharmacology?

1. "A grown-up big sister."

Yuni
A grown-up big sister. Huh, you mean to say that she's similar to me? ... What's that look for. Don't cock your head like that as you're staring at me. I am not talking about surface appearance. I am talking about essence -- the maturity of one's soul.

2. "A former holy knight."

Yuni
Wait, but I've heard that holy knights are all strictly selected for their noble qualities. Supposely, they're required to have the willpower to resist temptation. Considering what I've heard about her drinking problem, she seems to be... well, the complete opposite? Was she fired from being a holy knight due to her drinking problem? If so, then I can understand.

3. "Gimme a drink."

Yuni
I know that much. I was hoping you'd tell me about something I didn't know. Well, some adults have days where they simply have to go drinking. You'll understand someday. Do you want to give it a try? Don't worry, Miss Mitsuki's potions are both lawful and safe. At least for now.

OKロゼッタ - "OK Rosetta"

Yuni-like
How's Rosetta? Ah, that's right, you were worried for its safety after the Yunicopter went up in flames. Don't worry, it's a stone and therefore non-flammable. To see for yourself, try greeting it and giving it a suitable order.

1. "OK Rosetta, play this week's #1 hit song."

Rosetta
Pon! Po-pon-gapon! (Yeah) Po-pon-gapon (Uh-huh) Chloe with the scary face / Chelle with the chelly head / The beautiful and smart Yuni / The three of them are Yunichan's / Yuni brightens up Landsol (Yay)

2. "OK Rosetta, give me some rare info about Yuni."

Rosetta
Pon! Requested information "Administrator's three sizes" is under strict lockdown, producing related information "Miss Chloe's measurements" instead! From top to bottom, eighty --

Yuni
OK Rosetta, stop it. She'll kill us. You'll be fine, but he and I will be killed.

3. "OK Rosetta, tell me how to become friends with you."

Rosetta
Kyuun! The present command has revealed a girl's critical security vulnerability! I no longer require friends! The ringing in this rock, could it be love?

Yuni
Rosetta, so you were female... Do rocks really exhibit sexual dimorphism...
