Episode 4 Chapter 1
Hime
When I was little, my mom used to read me picture books that often had princesses in them.
Every single one of them was set to be terribly cute.
They even locked themselves in a castle until someone came to save 'em.
My goodness, what an annoying setup. And to think I share the same name with these girls.
I'm definitely not cute. No matter what I wear, nothing will suit me.
These princesses who never leave their castle don't need to be cute.
If those people have a savior, they don't need to be cute.
In reality, those people who go about rescuing princesses are nowhere to be found.
But, maybe...
What if there was a place where I could be cute...if there was an opportunity to become even cuter.
If there was a 'family' that could make me cute...I would...
EPISODE.004: Princess Downtown
Chapter 1: Hey! I'm a Tofu Shop Girl!
Coney
Haru-chan, Rona-chan, have you gotten used to this place yet?
Haru
Yeah, even though it took this long, I'm sure enjoying the stay here!
You
Sorry if it's a bit run down, though. This dorm is pretty huge, after all.
Rona
It's alright, Producer-shan. I love sleeping all grouped together with everyone.
Haru
Plus, it's our job to make things more theatrical!
Coney
Uuuu...all these girls are coming to us, Producer! Sob sob.
You
Indeed, it's something to be thankful for. I'd be glad if we could keep bring in some more, though.
Hime
Yo! This is Nonohara Tofu!
Rona
Huh? A tofu shop girl?
Coney
School clothes! Here comes the high school/tofu shop girl!
Hime
Oh, so you guys were here. No one came and answered the door, so I just went in anyway.
Where should I put this tofu order?
Rona
Uh, uhmm, the tofu...you should, uh...
Hime
I should...?
Rona
Waaaaah, I don't know! Producer-shan!
You
Rona, there's no need to panic. She just came to deliver ingredients for our meal.
I'll take it, so you can just put it there.
Hime
Alright. I'll just put it in the fridge, okay? Hehe, thanks for ordering!
Rona
I-I'm sorry for wasting your time...
Hime
It's fine, it's fine. Though you are super mopey.
And you're even making such a cute face, too...
Enjoy my tofu and shape up a bit!
Rona
!!
A-alright...! I'll do my best!
Haru
What a beautiful hair color. A blonde haired, blue eyed tofu shop girl, it's somewhat refreshing!
Hime
Hehe, it stands out that well, doesn't it? I got it from my mom.
Anyways, come order from Nonohara Tofu again sometime!
Coney
...she's here!
She's here, she's here, she's here!! Coney sensors detecting positive reception! Target locked on!
Blonde hair! Petit shoulders! Snow white skin! This is some ridiculous natural talent here, Producer!
Hime
What's with you? Aaaugh, you're too close! Get off of me, you!
You
Coney-san, I told you not to cause too much trouble!
Coney
Hey, hey, what's your name, you fanciful cutie? Mind telling me?
Hime
Huh? I'm Nonohara Hime.
Coney
Did you hear that, Producer? Hime! That's Japanese for princess! P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S!
The stealth princess of Nanastar has descended upon us!!
You
Uh, she just said she was a tofu shop girl, though...
Haru
Yeah, yeah, you really do look like a cute doll! I'm sure you'd fit in some nice princess clothes!
Hime
C-cute!? Hey! As if cute clothes would actually suit me!
Haru
But they definitely would! You should become an idol with us, Hime-chan!
You
Even you're getting so pushy...
Rona
Uh, Producer-shan...I think Hime-shan should try being an idol, too.
You
You too, Rona?
Hime
Idol...!? It's not like a tofu shop girl like me could ever make it as one!
Go find someone else! Jesus!
Coney
Oh, she ran off! Producer, go after her!
You
Yeah, sure, as if I'd be able to stop her.
