A Splendid... Transformation?

This video... It's completely different from anything you would usually see in Elzion.

There are all kinds of videos... It's impossible to get bored just looking at all of them.

Eeek! Someone, help!

A scream?! From over there...

What's wrong? Hurry and get away from there!

I-I want to, but... I can't move my legs!

Don't worry! I'll take care of this robot!

Yah!

Phew. That ought to do it.

Y-You're so strong! Thank you for the help.

Waah, thank you sooo much, darling! If you hadn't come, it would've been sooo bad! The robot we were filming with went berserk. It was terrible, darling!

Thanks to you, we can continue filming!

Filming? And the way you speak is...

I'm having major deja vu here... Have we met somewhere before?

Huh? What are you trying to say, darling? Sorry, but this is the first time we've met.

Buuut, my twin brother does the same work in Elzion, sooo... Maybe you're mixing me up with him?

Is that right? The director we met with Suzette!

F-Filming?

Thank you sooo much! Let's continue... Ow!

Huh? Is your leg hurt, dear? Let me see!

It's sooo swollen! You must've sprained it!

Ow ow ow.... Sorry, Director...

It's not your fault, darling. But, we can't continue filming with your leg like this...

And we can't get a stand-in actress on such short notice, either...

If only I'd gotten here sooner...

Oh?

Hm? What's wrong?

Oh, oh, oh!

Wh-What is it? Is there something on my face?

You, darling! How would you like to be her stand-in for this commercial?

N-No way!

N-No, you've got it all wrong! She's a girl, right?! There's no way I could be her stand-in...

Nothing is impossible, darling! I saw it with my own eyes! The fabulous passion of a young girl hidden behind that stern stare!

Something must be wrong with your eyes then! I can't do it!

No, darling! Of course you can do it!

If I say I can't do it, I can't do it!

Of course you can, of course you can! You just have to believe me, darling!

No, wait, but...

You can do it!

Urgh!

......

Your persistence has made me think I really can do it...

I was so waiting for those words, darling!

This is the script we're using. You'll be fine, darling! I know you can do it!

A-All right, fine! I'll try just this once!

A fine response, darling! We need to reshoot from the first scene, sooo let's head to the church.

Everyone, have you heard?!

We must start preparations right away! You, darling! Take her to the hospital!

Understood!

Soo, I'm going ahead to the set!

Um... Apologies about our director...

B-But, break a leg! I'll be cheering you on!

Thanks. I'll do my best at being a stand-in for you!

Okay! We're supposed to be filming at the church, right? I'll head there right away!

You've come, darling! An actress who shows up on time is welcome in any crew. You'll be sooo popular, darling!

Have you already looked over the script?

Yes, I read it on the way here.

But since it's a female role, I'm a little worried. I can't fake a woman's voice, you know!

Don't worry, darling! We'll fix it in post! Just focus on your acting!

U-Um, okay. Got it!

Well then, practice makes perfect, darling! Let's begin filming!

Here I go!

In the first scene, you're running away from a robot!

Aaand... Action!

E...eek...

Cut, cut, cuuut!

What was that?! You've got to release that inner woman you're hiding, darling!

A-All right! I'll try to be more feminine this time!

Okay darlings, one more time! Take two... Aaaaction!

(Like a woman... Like a woman!)

Ee... Eeek...

No! Cut! You still haven't released your inner woman, darling.

S-Sorry. Just give me one more shot!

But of course, darling!

I know you can do it! I know you've like, got the same passion pent up as me, darling!

Okay darlings, once more! Take three... Aaaaction!

(I won't fail again this time! The director believes in me!)

Ah... Oh no...

CUT! CUT!

What's wrong, darling?! Your inner woman is better than that!

D-Dammit! I can't act like I see the scene in my head... I can't get my body to move like a woman!

If I think about it rationally, there's no way a man could play a woman's part!

Don't say such a thing, darling...

Somebody, help me!

Your wish is my command!

Huh?! That voice...

I heard your plea, Aldo!

Feinne?! And everyone else...

You've all come to help me?!

Of course! Leave it to me, Riica, the KMS all-purpose android.

Bringing out your womanly passion will be easy as pie!

W-Wait, what?!

It's much to early to quit yet. We haven't tried everything yet, have we?

Tried...everything?

That's right. We've got to try acting lessons!

Indeed! It was wrong to ask you to perform without rehearsal, darling!

With a little acting lessons for female roles, your womanly passion will surely bloom, darling!

Acting lessons... Do you really think we can do it?

I'm not sure why I have to be involved... But if I have to participate, I'll give it my all.

All right, thank you everyone. Bring out my womanly passion!

Leave it to us, Aldo!

All you needed was some female encouragement, darling! I'll do everything I can to delay filming!

So take all the time you need for your lessons, darling!

Thank you!

I'll be waiting here for the return of a fabulous young lady!

Let's hurry, Aldo! We'll be practicing in the Elzion Gamma District! We don't have much time!

By the way... What exactly do acting lessons entail?

Um... There are a lot of different kinds of womanly passion, so...

Yes... What method would best bring out Aldo's womanly form?

We don't have time to think. Let's each try something different to bring out Aldo's inner woman.

My inner woman... Is something like that really inside me? I'm still a bit doubtful...

No need to worry! Womanly passion is not hindered by gender!

O-Okay...if you say so.

Nothing will change if I keep doubting myself.

I'm placing my faith in you! Let's bring out my inner woman!

That's the spirit, Aldo. Let's begin the lessons!

*huff* *huff*

What is it?

This isn't going well. But I still don't have the faintest idea what's wrong...

Argh... I've gotten so much help from everyone, but I still can't awaken my inner woman! This is impossible... Maybe I'm not cut out for this?!

......

There is still a way. It's a little drastic, but... Follow me, Aldo! We will awaken your inner woman. I promise!

Here and there... So on and so forth...

Hm? You have need of my assistance?

I didn't think we'd have to get Sebastia involved...

I see. His inner woman, huh? Hidden deep within his psyche... Well then...

It's impossible, right? You're a machine specialist, so there's no way you could work with a human, right?

What do you mean? It will be no problem for me.

I knew it...

Wait, what?!

While I do specialize in machines, lately my research has been focused on Synth Humans. On top of that, my research has progressed since Galliard. I've seen quite a bit of the inner workings of the brain.

See, Riica. Why don't you try that thing we put together before?

That thing...? Oh! Now that I think about it, it's perfect for the job!

Wh-What are you talking about? What're you planning to do?

Please be patient! It'll be over in a blink of an eye!

H-Hey, Riica...!

......

No response?! This is scary! W-Wait! Get off of me! Just tell me what you're doing!

......

Eek!

Stop, Riica! Oh... Whoaaa!

We're disturbing the peace around Gamma District. I should have had you do it.

H-How did it go, Riica?

His appearance hasn't changed at all, but...

Seeing is believing...

All right... Wake up! Aldo...

No, I mean Lady Aldo!

......

Why hello, Miss Riica. You're skin looks fresh and fabulous today, tee hee!

Womanly Passion Index at 100%. The treatment was a success!

Indeed! The commercial should go fantastic! Time to head back to Eeza to see the director, tee hee!

Is this what a master feels like when she sends off her apprentice?

Fight on, my brother...

Scratch that, my sister!

Director... This is too far!

We've already performed first-aid on my leg! If I just deal with the pain, I can still act!

Darling, I couldn't have you do that... I will wait for as long as I can!

She will return... With a burning womanly passion!

Yes, but... If we delay filming any further...

Sorry to keep you waiting!

What took you so long, darling? Have you awoken the young lady inside you?!

Without a doubt! Now, I am without equal. Because... I'm a woman, tee hee!

Oh, the passion! I can, like, feel the burning womanly passion within you!

Wh-What could have happened to him?

Well then, let's begin filming! Put all of your womanly spirit into it, darling!

Leave it to me! Allow me to charm you with my fabulous acting!

All right! Aaaaaand... ACTION!

Eeeek! Help me!

Oh, this is ecstatic...

Good...! C-Cut! Fantastic! You are absolutely brimming with womanly passion!

Of course it is, tee hee. My skills surpass any actress in this era!

That's confidence, darling! Let's continue! On to the next scene!

What kind of womanly emotions should I show you next?

Next, you beat that robot black and blue, darling!

Show me your carnivorous passion without restraint!

Leave it to me! I will defeat it with my daring cuteness!

Tee hee, goodbye. Even the most beautiful rose has its thorns, you know?

Aaaand, cut! Okay! We've filmed something great here, darling!

A-Amazing! It's hard to imagine he's the same guy who saved me...

Whoa?!

H-Huh? What am I doing here?

That was brilliant acting, darling! I hope you're looking forward to the finished commercial!

Huh...? Uh, yeah... Filming's already finished? But I don't remember starting...

I can't remember anything! All I remember is Riica trying to do something to me...

Don't sweat the details, darling! This commercial is sure to be a big hit!

Hm... I'm still not sure if I'm okay, but if it's finished I guess it's fine.

Oh, and director... It's a little late to be asking, but what is this commercial for?

Tee hee. Wouldn't you like to know, darling? I suppose I'll tell you since you helped. As a special present...

I'll let you watch the finished version before anyone else!

R-Really?!

Of course, darling! Please go wait in front of Eeza's central display. I'll hurry and edit the footage we took!

So the commercial I acted in is going to be played here in Eeza... It doesn't feel real...

Tee hee! So you've come, darling. Without further ado, I will play the finished commercial!

O-Okay! I've got no clue what to expect...

How was it, darling...?

I see... It was a commercial for a cosmetic product, huh?

According to our sponsors, the theme was "cosmetics for fighting women." Fabulous, right darling?

I do like the idea of transforming into a fighting woman by using cosmetics.

But the person in the commercial... wasn't me, was it? That was just a normal woman...

No, it was without a doubt you, darling!

Don't underestimate CG editing techniques, darling.

See-Jee...? I have no idea what you're talking about...

But it looked exactly like a woman. It's like magic.

Indeed, darling! Thank you again for helping with the filming!

Oh, and here's a sample of the cosmetics!

I want you to use this to polish your womanly passion from here on out!

Th-Thank you...

That's all for me, darling! Next time we meet, I may have another offer for you!

No more commercials, please...

But, what should I do with this cosmetic sample? I have no use for it, so I guess I should...

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Feinne!

Hey, Feinne. I got this cosmetic sample here. Do you want to try it?

Are you sure... Miss Aldo?

Who you calling Miss?!

There's no reason for me to keep it. So I thought I would give it to you for all the help.

Or are you still a little young for cosmetics?

Of course not! Amy is teaching me about them little by little!

Oh, I had no idea...

So you're already old enough to be interested in that kind of stuff...

Tee hee, that's right! I'll make good use of it! Thanks, Aldo!

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Amy!

Hey, Amy. I got this cosmetic sample here. Do you want to try it? You've helped out with so much, and I have no use for it so... Will you take it off my hands?

Huh...? A cosmetic product, for me?

Y-Yeah... Is something wrong?

Hm...? No, I'll take it. ......

What's wrong? You're acting a little strange.

Really? I should be pretty used to getting presents...

I was the pretty young girl at the shop. My father's friends and regular customers would give me presents...

But they would always give me training equipment, or weapons... Stuff like that.

I've never received a feminine present like this one. I'm a little happy... Perhaps.

I see. I'm glad you're happy.

Yes, thank you. I'll make good use of it.

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Riica!

Riica, thanks for helping out with that commercial shoot the other day!

But... Did you do something to me at the end of the lesson?

That's a secret! The end justifies the means!

There's some logic to that... I guess?

Oh, and I got this cosmetic sample for helping out. I want to give it to you.

I appreciate the sentiment, but do androids have any use for cosmetic products?

Well, you're still a girl, Riica. If you're just putting on make up, it doesn't matter whether you're a human or an android.

I see! A girl must constantly improve herself!

But, is it safe for the skin of an alloy body to be moisturized?

Um... I don't know about that. Won't know until you try, I guess.

I will give it a try immediately, then.

Ohh! This is...!

The brilliance of my surface area has increased by 25%! This is amazing, Aldo!

So the result is good? I'm glad you're happy.

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Helena!

Hey, Helena. I got this cosmetic sample here. Do you want to try it?

Cosmetics? Are you sure?

Well, I don't have any use for it...

Hopefully a Synth Human can use it too...

I wonder? My face is made from living tissue, so I think it should be fine.

I hope he notices...

Haha, I'm looking forward to what Galliard says!

Thank you. I will go show him now.

He won't see anything with her visor still down... Or maybe she's embarrassed?

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Altena!

Hey, Altena. I got this cosmetic sample here. Do you want to try it? You've helped out with so much, and I have no use for it so... Will you take it off my hands?

Huh...? Me? Are you sure?

Wouldn't Feinne, Amy, or Riica be happy to get a present from you?

Well maybe, but... You're newer around here compared to them, so...

I figured I would take the chance to deepen our friendship. I'd be happy for you to take it.

Understood... If you put it like that, I won't refuse.

Hee hee... I wonder what Guildna will do when he hears I received a present from a boy.

You think he'd mind that much? I didn't think Guildna was such a doting brother...

Who knows? He might go all battle mode on you!

Y-You're scaring me...

Hee hee, I'm just joking! Thank you, I'll make good use of it.

Hm... I can't decide. Maybe I should wait...

I'll give it to Cyrus!

Aldo...

If I am not mistaken, this kind of thing should be given to lady.

Well... It says its a moisturizer for keeping your skin nice, so...

You've been on land a lot recently, right Cyrus? I thought you might be having problems with dry skin...

Indeed. I have not gotten enough moisture as of late, and my skin has completely dried up... Could this product work well on my frog skin? I will give it a try.

Huh?!

This is...amazing! Its moisture has penetrated the very depths of my frog skin!

It has become so shiny and soft!

Hm? Is something amiss? You have a puzzled look on your face.

N-No, it's just... (Ack! The womanly smell of cosmetics is wafting off of Cyrus now!)

Is that right? Good, so long there is no trouble.

However, I am amazed at the strangeness of these goods from the future!

Ha...ha ha... Well, I'm glad you're happy.

Well now, Aldo. Try touching my supple frog skin!

N-No! Don't come any closer!

Aldo! There's no need to hold back!

No, I'm fine, I swear!

Oh! Darling... Thank you so much for your help with the shoot! Thanks to you, the commercial was a big hit! That product is flying off the shelves! Absolutely FLYING, darling!

So... I want to give you another sample of it, darling! No need to be shy!

Now I've got more... What should I do with this sample?

Oh, I've got it! I should give it to Feinne!

Hey, Feinne. I got this cosmetic sample here. Do you want to try it?

Are you sure... Miss Aldo?

Who you calling Miss?!

There's no reason for me to keep it. So I thought I would give it to you for all the help.

No, I'm fine, I swear!

Thanks to you, the commercial was a big hit! That product is flying off the shelves! Absolutely FLYING, darling!

Well, yeah, but...!

Sorry, darling! The cosmetic sample I gave you before was the last one! Again, thank you for acting in the commercial. I'll never forget your passion, darling!

Again, thank you for acting in the commercial. I'll never forget your passion, darling!
