~~ Knock knock goes the fox! ~~

~~ Shirakami Fubuki here! And joining me are... ~~

~~ 1st Gen & GAMERS Shirakami Fubuki ~~

~~ Howl howl, it's me! ~~

~~ I'm Ookami Mio! And finally... ~~

~~ GAMERS Ookami Mio ~~

~~ Greetings, humans! ~~

~~ 'Tis Nakiri Ayame from hololive 2nd Gen! ~~

~~ 2nd Gen Nakiri Ayame ~~

~~ And all together, we are...! ~~

~~ Ready? ~~

~~ The Blooming Blossoms, AyaFubuMi! ~~

~~ Did I do it right? ~~

~~ This fine evening, ~~

~~ we are bringing you a show wearing lovely yukatas, ~~

~~ so be dainty and elegant, ladies! ~~

~~ Dainty and elegant. ~~

~~ Dainty, dainty! ~~

~~ Oh, how lovely we all look! ~~

~~ We're all wearing different designs. ~~

~~ Yes, indeed! ~~

~~ We each have our own design, I say. ~~

~~ They're cute! ~~

~~ Why yes, they are! ~~

~~ Nakiri-san, why don't you give us a cute pose? ~~

~~ Just a tad bit... ~~

~~ Ah, splendid! Splendid, I say! ~~

~~ Wait, hold on, hold on. ~~

~~ You don't sound like yourself today. ~~

~~ Care to tell us what happened? ~~

~~ Please, I have not changed one bit. ~~

~~ Have the past five years made you loopy? ~~

~~ Not at all! ~~

~~ Changing personas in a mere five years? ~~

~~ Now that is simply absurd, I say! ~~

~~ You might want something new at that point. ~~

~~ I simply want the both of you ~~

~~ True. ~~

~~ to become capital-I Idols who look good in a yukata, just like myself. ~~

~~ Capital-I Idols? ~~

~~ Therefore I shall train you, ma girls. ~~

~~ "Ma girls"? ~~

~~ You okay? ~~

~~ Either way! ~~

~~ She said "ma girls"! ~~

~~ Silence! Silence, I say! ~~

~~ I'm getting worried. ~~

~~ This be the title for today's activity. ~~

~~ Becomingly Blooming Yukata Beauties! ~~

~~ Elegantly, elegantly! ~~

~~ Elegantly, elegantly. ~~

~~ All right then! ~~

~~ I have prepared ~~

~~ a most fitting stage for you to become Yukata Beauties. ~~

~~ You just said we're beautiful already! ~~

~~ Well, not quite. ~~

~~ Your mannerisms could be a bit more, you know... ~~

~~ Oh, like how we behave? ~~

~~ You think so? ~~

~~ Certain members were spreading their legs in their yukata, for example. ~~

~~ Who did that?! ~~

~~ What?! ~~

~~ Sproing. ~~

~~ Stop that! ~~

~~ That's exactly what I mean! ~~

~~ Such a vulgar display! Sproing. ~~

~~ So yes, let us make our way towards the training grounds. ~~

~~ What? Why? ~~

~~ We already have a nice festival over here. ~~

~~ Yeah! We can do it here! ~~

~~ I have prepared ~~

~~ I wanna have takoyaki! ~~

~~ a much more appropriate venue for this. ~~

~~ Me too! ~~

~~ Let us go there! ~~

~~ Come, right this way. Follow me. ~~

~~ Where are we going? ~~

~~ Where are you taking us?! ~~

~~ I wanna stay here at the festival! ~~

~~ Takoyaki! I want my takoyaki! ~~

~~ Stop dilly-dallying! ~~

~~ Dilly-dallying? What? ~~

~~ Careful, careful. We're almost there. ~~

~~ I can't see anything! ~~

~~ Where are we? ~~

~~ As you see, I had them put on blindfolds midway. ~~

~~ What's going on? ~~

~~ No idea. ~~

~~ You don't know where we are, right? ~~

~~ You're okay. Don't worry. ~~

~~ What are we doing? ~~

~~ Okay! Stop here! ~~

~~ We're good? Where are we? ~~

~~ Now then... ~~

~~ Doesn't it feel a bit chillier than before? ~~

~~ It's windy here. ~~

~~ You may take off your blindfolds! ~~

~~ Wow, look at all those sparkly lights! ~~

~~ That's right, you have quite the view up here! ~~

~~ We're on an office tower?! ~~

~~ We're on a roof! ~~

~~ And that's not all. Look before you, if you would. ~~

~~ I'll pretend I didn't see that. ~~

~~ No, you can't walk away from this. ~~

~~ Steel beam ~~

~~ Is that a really big chopstick? ~~

~~ The two of you are hereby tasked ~~

~~ What's going on here? ~~

~~ to walk across this steel beam. ~~

~~ How about no? ~~

~~ Crossing this beam like a model will strengthen your core ~~

~~ and bring you one step closer to becoming a true Yukata Beauty. ~~

~~ This won't help us at all! ~~

~~ Yes it will! You with your springy legs. ~~

~~ Unbecoming! ~~

~~ Sproing. ~~

~~ Stop that at once! ~~

~~ Of course, there's no fun in simply walking across, ~~

~~ which is why I'm spicing things up a little! ~~

~~ Take on the Steel Beam Challenge to become a Yukata Beauty! ~~

~~ Spicing it up?! Isn't this scary enough already?! ~~

~~ Simple is best. ~~

~~ Steel Beam Crossing Race! ~~

~~ This isn't fair! ~~

~~ You walk over it too! ~~

~~ Not fair! ~~

~~ So unfair! ~~

~~ Why should you just get to watch? ~~

~~ I see you're raring to get started. ♥ ~~

~~ What are you talking about? ~~

~~ Like heck we are! ~~

~~ The rules are exceedingly simple: ~~

~~ Get to the other side as fast as you can! ~~

~~ But first, the fortune box! ~~

~~ Behold! ~~

~~ It's a fortune box! ~~

~~ 'Tis big. ~~

~~ Before you cross the beam, ~~

~~ you should draw a fortune from this. ~~

~~ The result will either help or hinder you. ~~

~~ Can't wait to see what the fortunes do, right? ♥ ~~

~~ I want to get Great Fortune. ~~

~~ Let's have Mio draw hers first. ~~

~~ This is pretty scary. ~~

~~ Shake the box! ~~

~~ What will she get? ~~

~~ I'm doing it! I'm drawing my fortune! ~~

~~ What will she get...? Oh, there it is! ~~

~~ What does it say? ~~

~~ "Misfortune"! ~~

~~ Misfortune? ~~

~~ What happens if you get that? ~~

~~ Mio got Misfortune! ~~

~~ What does that do? ~~

~~ What does it do indeed? ~~

~~ She has to carry the fortune box with her across the beam! ~~

~~ That thing looks heavy. ~~

~~ I have to carry this huge box?! No way! ~~

~~ She's on hard mode. ~~

~~ Next up, Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ Draw your fortune! ~~

~~ Good luck, Ayame! ~~

~~ I'm gonna shake this good! ~~

~~ Yes, give it a nice shake. ~~

~~ Here we go! ~~

~~ What will she get? ~~

~~ What will I get... There it is! ~~

~~ What is it? ~~

~~ Terrible Misfortune! ~~

~~ It's Terrible Misfortune! ~~

~~ Ayame got "Terrible Misfortune"! ~~

~~ This means she has to cross the beam ~~

~~ with a Yukata Beauty training brace wrapped around her thighs. ~~

~~ A training brace?! ~~

~~ A training brace? What?! ~~

~~ You'll be wearing the Yukata Beauty training brace ~~

~~ while crossing the beam! ~~

~~ I don't wanna! ~~

~~ You'll get some good gains out of this. ~~

~~ That's super tough! ~~

~~ I don't want gains! ~~

~~ So, who goes first? ~~

~~ Any volunteers? ~~

~~ I think the lighter one should go first ~~

~~ so we can test the waters. ~~

~~ B-But... ~~

~~ I'm on the tall side, ~~

~~ and I have a lot of hair, ~~

~~ I... I mean... I'm... ~~

~~ and my boobs are pretty big too, so... ~~

~~ But you're light, so you might have an easier time. ~~

~~ You're about half my weight, right? ~~

~~ I'll have a brace on me, though... ~~

~~ That probably won't matter much. ~~

~~ Are you guys done? ~~

~~ You got this. ~~

~~ Okay... ~~

~~ I'll go first. ~~

~~ Good luck! ~~

~~ I'll try. ~~

~~ Ayame-chan goes first, followed by Mio! ~~

~~ I'll do my best! ~~

~~ Let's get the ball rolling! ~~

~~ I don't wanna do this... Let me go... ~~

~~ At least give it a try! ~~

~~ All right. ~~

~~ The stage is set. ~~

~~ Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ I put on the training brace! ~~

~~ How does it feel? ~~

~~ Good luck! ~~

~~ 'Tis, um... ~~

~~ really hard to walk with this. Feels like I'm being squeezed. ~~

~~ Squeezing, huh? ~~

~~ It's so tight. ~~

~~ I can barely take a step forward. ~~

~~ And that kind of slow, elegant walking ~~

~~ is exactly what'll make you a Yukata Beauty. ~~

~~ I will train myself elegantly! ~~

~~ Yes! Train yourself with elegance! ~~

~~ This is real scary, though! ~~

~~ Fly across if it's too hard. ~~

~~ I don't exactly have wings. ~~

~~ Even as an oni. ~~

~~ Ready when you are, Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ Okay! ~~

~~ Steel Beam Crossing... ~~

~~ Start! ~~

~~ Just getting the first step in is hard! ~~

~~ Get that step in! ~~

~~ I can't get my footing! ~~

~~ Daintily! Slowly and daintily! ~~

~~ Be dainty at each step! ~~

~~ Daintily, daintily... Hold on. ~~

~~ I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall! ~~

~~ You're doing well! ~~

~~ The cold air is giving me chills! ~~

~~ What was the best food you had recently? ~~

~~ Recently? What did I eat? ~~

~~ Anything good? ~~

~~ Meat! I had meat! ~~

~~ You had meat? ~~

~~ What kind of meat? ~~

~~ I-I don't remember what I... ~~

~~ I don't remember what I had! ~~

~~ Ayame! ~~

~~ Eek! ~~

~~ Huh? It's warm down here. ~~

~~ Oh, I see! ~~

~~ There's a hot spring down here! ~~

~~ The water's quite nice. ~~

~~ Seriously? ~~

~~ For real? ~~

~~ You should come down here too, Mio-chan! ~~

~~ Really now? ~~

~~ Yikes! ~~

~~ Dry your hair before climbing back up, okay? ~~

~~ I will! ~~

~~ I'll come back when I'm all cleaned up! ~~

~~ What's happening? ~~

~~ Are we handing out hot spring visits now? ~~

~~ That wasn't the intention! ~~

~~ Is that what this is? ~~

~~ Hey! ~~

~~ This is nice. ~~

~~ Dry your yukata before you come back, okay? ~~

~~ Yeah, I will. ~~

~~ Next up is Mio! ~~

~~ Welcome back, Ayame-chan. ~~

~~ I'm back! ~~

~~ 'Twas a nice bath. ~~

~~ Was it? ~~

~~ Look at her, all refreshed! ~~

~~ Yep, I'm refreshed! ~~

~~ My shoulders are all loosened up. ~~

~~ Really? ~~

~~ Good luck, Mio-chan! ~~

~~ Do your best, Mio! ~~

~~ I'll try... ~~

~~ How's the box? ~~

~~ I still can't believe how big it is. ~~

~~ And heavy, too. ~~

~~ It~~ ~~might~~ ~~be packed with something else in the meantime. ~~

~~ What? For real? ~~

~~ Are you ready? ~~

~~ Yep! ~~

~~ Then let's see how Mio does! Ready... ~~

~~ Start! ~~

~~ Good luck! ~~

~~ How's the box? ~~

~~ She's carrying it like a sack of rice. ~~

~~ It does look like that! ~~

~~ She's hugging it tight. Daintily now! ~~

~~ She's hugging it. ~~

~~ Daintily! One step at a time! ~~

~~ One step at a time! Good! ~~

~~ Check your footing. ~~

~~ You should do that, yes! ~~

~~ Looking good. She's taking her next step! ~~

~~ Good... ~~

~~ Mio-chan! ~~

~~ Don't place it down! ~~

~~ I see what you're doing! ~~

~~ Don't let go! ~~

~~ Keep holding it! ~~

~~ Don't let it slip! ~~

~~ Hold it tight! ~~

~~ Hold it and walk! ~~

~~ This is a race! ~~

~~ The clock is ticking! ~~

~~ How's the weight of the box? ~~

~~ I-I can compare it to... ~~

~~ Compare it to? ~~

~~ Compare to what? ~~

~~ Hmm... ~~

~~ Don't stand still! ~~

~~ Keep those feet going! ~~

~~ One step! And another! And another! ~~

~~ A one! And a two! Just a bit more! ~~

~~ About how heavy is it, then? ~~

~~ How heavy is it? ~~

~~ Can you tell us? ~~

~~ She's too focused to talk. ~~

~~ Try singing our song! ~~

~~ Sing it! ~~

~~ Passions burn but for a moment~~ ~~♪ ~~

~~ Don't think about what's below! ~~

~~ filling the air with blooming blossoms~~ ~~♪ ~~

~~ You might not land on a hot spring down there! ~~

~~ You might miss it on your way down. ~~

~~ Just a bit more! You can do it! ~~

~~ You're almost there! ~~

~~ Mio! ~~

~~ Waaah! ~~

~~ Mio... Are you all right? ~~

~~ How is it down there? ~~

~~ It's very...~~ ~~warm! ~~

~~ It's very... warm! ~~

~~ Is it a hot spring for you, too? ~~

~~ Is it a hot spring down there? ~~

~~ I'm not sure... ~~

~~ It's more like a steam sauna. ~~

~~ A steam sauna?! ~~

~~ You're at a steam sauna?! ~~

~~ It's very moist here. ~~

~~ Moist... ~~

~~ And there we have it! ~~

~~ Unfortunately, neither of you even made it to the other side. ~~

~~ Anyway, Mio should go dry herself ~~

~~ and get back up here. ~~

~~ Let's continue to work ~~

~~ towards becoming Yukata Beauties! ~~

~~ There's nothing beautiful about this at all. ~~

~~ Who will be the last one standing?! ~~

~~ Steel Beam Crossing: Paper Fan Battle! ~~

~~ What? A paper fan battle?! ~~

~~ You mean slapping each other? ~~

~~ That's right! ~~

~~ I don't want to fight anyone, though. ~~

~~ Yeah, neither. ~~

~~ That's not what a Yukata Beauty does. ~~

~~ Exactly. ~~

~~ It's already in the manga, though. ~~

~~ We also clashed in there, remember? ~~

~~ Don't use that as an excuse. ~~

~~ There's no harm in a bit of sparring. ~~

~~ What sort of reasoning is that? ~~

~~ Anyway, it'll go like this! ~~

~~ You'll start at opposite ends of the beam. ~~

~~ Once you meet in the middle, you will hit your opponent with your fan ~~

~~ until one of you falls off! ~~

~~ And just like before, there's fortunes involved! ~~

~~ The draw of the lot determines the difficulty of this paper fan battle! ~~

~~ Great Fortune means I will join you in battle! ~~

~~ Nice, nice. ~~

~~ I'll be right behind you on the beam, ~~

~~ albeit reluctantly. ~~

~~ I'd rather sit on the sidelines. ~~

~~ Don't be a spoilsport. ~~

~~ We'd love to have you with us. ~~

~~ Next up, Fortune means no change, and Misfortune, like before, ~~

~~ means you need to wear the training brace on your thighs. ~~

~~ Like I did last time. ~~

~~ And Terrible Misfortune means... ~~

~~ you have to walk backwards! ~~

~~ That's an automatic game over! ~~

~~ You've already lost at that point. ~~

~~ You can have bad luck, yeah. ~~

~~ The only way to know is to draw! ~~

~~ Mio goes first! Please draw! ~~

~~ What will she get? ~~

~~ I'll try my luck! ~~

~~ What will she get? ~~

~~ Let's do this. ~~

~~ What will she get? ~~

~~ Gotta shake it good. ~~

~~ No Great Fortune, please. ~~

~~ Anything but that! ~~

~~ Give me Great Fortune! ~~

~~ It's payback time! ~~

~~ No! ~~

~~ What's it gonna be? ~~

~~ What is it? ~~

~~ Terrible Misfortune! ~~

~~ Terrible Misfortune?! ~~

~~ Mio has to walk the beam backwards! ~~

~~ I got the worst one! ~~

~~ It's not as bad as the brace, though. ~~

~~ I'm not too sure about that. ~~

~~ I could still slip and fall while walking backwards. ~~

~~ That's true. ~~

~~ Next to draw is Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ Please draw your fortune! ~~

~~ I want Fubuki-chan to do the walk with me. ~~

~~ Please no. Anything but that. ~~

~~ Aiming for Great Fortune! ~~

~~ Good luck! ~~

~~ Great Fortune! Great Fortune! ~~

~~ Please no! ~~

~~ Terrible Misfortune! ~~

~~ Great Fortune! Great Fortune! ~~

~~ Make both of them walk backwards! ~~

~~ Let's go! ~~

~~ Terrible Mis― No way! ~~

~~ I actually got Great Fortune! ~~

~~ Nooo! Why?! ~~

~~ Wow! ~~

~~ Don't do this to me! ~~

~~ Darn it! ~~

~~ I guess I have no choice... ~~

~~ You'll be walking with me, Fubuki-chan. ~~

~~ This means that ~~

~~ I'll be on Ayame-chan's team. ~~

~~ Seems like it. ~~

~~ And Mio will be... our enemy. ~~

~~ Our enemy. ~~

~~ You'll need to throw both of us off to win. ~~

~~ Walking backwards, though... ~~

~~ That's such a handicap! ~~

~~ That's what you get for drawing Terrible Misfortune. ~~

~~ Terrible Misfortune, and all. ~~

~~ Let's go to our starting positions! ~~

~~ Okay! ~~

~~ Let's do this thing! ~~

~~ Ready your logs! ~~

~~ These are paper fans, not logs! ~~

~~ I'mma off ya! ~~

~~ Slap 'er 'ead off! ~~

~~ Bring it! ~~

~~ Ayame-chan, let's hear how serious you are! ~~

~~ I'm gonna whack Mio-chan straight off the beam. ~~

~~ She's getting pumped. ~~

~~ She's gonna get me! ~~

~~ Mio! Anything from you? ~~

~~ Considering that I have to walk backwards ~~

~~ in a 1v2 battle, ~~

~~ I'm at an overwhelming disadvantage. ~~

~~ But even so, I'll prevail! ~~

~~ Win or lose, this is our last match! ~~

~~ Steel Beam Paper Fan Battle! ~~

~~ Start! ~~

~~ You'll come after me, Fubuki-chan. ~~

~~ Do I start already? ~~

~~ Go ahead! ~~

~~ I'm coming in! ~~

~~ I have to walk backwards, right? ~~

~~ Yeah. ~~

~~ Let's wait for Mio-chan to get to the middle. ~~

~~ You okay, Mio-chan? ~~

~~ Can you get here backwards? I'll be waiting in the middle! ~~

~~ I'm... I'm scared! ~~

~~ I'm scared! ~~

~~ You can do it! ~~

~~ Wait for me, Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ I'm already at the middle! ~~

~~ Time to dance! ~~

~~ Stop doing that, Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ I can't! It's too scary! ~~

~~ I'm sorry, Ayame-chan! ~~

~~ I'm sorry! ~~

~~ Wait a sec! ~~

~~ Seriously now?! ~~

~~ I'm sorr― Mio? ~~

~~ Is this for real? ~~

~~ Fubuki... ~~

~~ Mio! ~~

~~ Huh?! ~~

~~ We meet again. ~~

~~ That was so scary... ~~

~~ It was, wasn't it? ~~

~~ How did you end up here?! ~~

~~ You didn't even put up a fight! ~~

~~ She didn't! ~~

~~ Can you cross the beam, Ayame-chan? ~~

~~ Me? I... I think. ~~

~~ Might as well do it. ~~

~~ Daintily, now! Daintily! ~~

~~ Daintily, daintily. ~~

~~ You can do it, Ayame! ~~

~~ Our hope is in your hands... ~~

~~ Yes! ~~

~~ I will take your hopes and dreams, ~~

~~ and cross to the other side! ~~

~~ Go for it! ~~

~~ I did it! I crossed the beam! ~~

~~ Congratulations! ~~

~~ Congratulations, Ayame! ~~

~~ Congratulations! ~~

~~ Thank you. ~~

~~ That's all for the Paper Fan Battle! ~~

~~ Congratulations. ~~

~~ I'm glad at least Ayame-chan made it. ~~

~~ Hooray! ~~

~~ She was the only one to get to the other side. ~~

~~ Sole winner! ~~

~~ I made it across the beam! ~~

~~ It was great! I'm impressed! ~~

~~ So, did you enjoy this? ~~

~~ Hmm, well... ~~

~~ Was it fun? ~~

~~ I got a hot bath, so I'm satisfied. ~~

~~ Oh, right. ~~

~~ 'Twas great. ~~

~~ That's the only reason? ~~

~~ Yeah, that was refreshing. ~~
