Seaside Fashionista Epilogue Part 2

Things pick up with us back at the event area with Arachne commenting on how great AC is during the summer. You ask her what Tsathoggua is doing when he was made to work, though before she answers Tsathoggua calls out to you two, glad that you’re around to help him. He’s wearing a signboard on his back that says Arachne Shop (Temp.) and is up to his neck in customers swarming around him.

Tsathoggua says he’s been drinking tropical honey drinks and that the job is easy, but he is getting bothered by all the attention he’s been getting. Arachne expected as much and tells him everyone thinks he looks good in his swimsuit, which brought in all these people. Hakumen then turns up and comments about how Tsathoggua was close to crying while in that outfit.

You comment on her being here and ask if she’s done with her work. Hakumen proceeds to welcome you to her shop saying she’s the manager today and offers you a 100% discount on everything. Arachne in shock asks if this is supposed to be hers and not Hakumen’s. She thinks it’s a crazy idea to have the place selling only swimwear for vacations.

Hakumen pokes fun at Arachne for coming in late as if she were the president, then says that since Arachne left it unguarded for so long she hijacked it herself. Arachne objects and says she won’t stand for it, even if it is a temp shop. Hakumen laughs and says if she didn’t have that much drive, she wouldn’t be able to compete with her.

Xolotl also happens to be there and he cries and begs Hakumen for help with dealing with all the customers, as he’s being overwhelmed. Tsathoggua isn’t sure if it’s the change in line up or prices, but he’s surprised at how different business has been compared to before. Arachne says it’s because she got an opinion from a very important friend, so she had to hear it out.

Hakumen sighs over Xolotl and his problems, then tells Arachne it’s time to work as she calls her manager. Arachne agrees and tells Xolotl she’ll be right there. Gullibursti then turns up having heard of Arachne and asks her for help in picking something, only to be shocked to see you here. You either greet him and ask about him coming down from the mountains, ask if he’s buying a swimsuit, or treat him like a stranger and ask what he’s looking for.

In any case Gullinbursti says he heard that in Tokyo, people go to the beach in the summer. If you ever happen to run into danger there, he figures he should get some clothes that will help him get there faster. Arachne interprets this as wanting clothes that show his active way of life and life’s purpose, and Gullinbursti is surprised she can read him so quickly even though they just met. He takes it as a sign of her abilities as a designer.

Arachne suggests he go order a pattern when Aizen pops in with Sitri and starts yelling about indecency. You can either go ugh at him, greet him casually, or comment on the cutie behind him. Sitri greets you and asks if you also came to get a swimsuit. He was in the area and figured he might as well look for an adult manly man sort of swimsuit himself. He also says he heard you wore something from here when Aizen runs in front to cut him off.

Aizen tells Sitri to stand back as he calls you a love singularity once again. He claims to understand what’s going on, then accuses you of coming to a big name shop to look for a bewitching swimsuit, then gain the favor of His Majesty. He knows your type, *shameless wretch*. You either say it’s a misunderstanding, say he has a limited vocabulary, or say his impressions are way too awful.

Aizen yells at you to repent and says he’ll burn you to ashes. Sitri tries to calm him down and says you’re fine. Aizen tries to argue but relents. Arachne then comments that you really do know a lot of different people.

Azathoth shows up next to laugh about you and love flags, then advises you to check your best friend’s info or else it’s the murder knife for you. Harlot greets you after that and comments on the unusual combination of people around. Arc greets you and asks if you’re looking for a swimsuit too.

You either greet Arc back, ask if they’re out shopping as a family, or ask where Surtr is. Surtr is not that far away weighing some options between some relaxing trunks or some speedos. On one hand, speedos aren’t that different from what he already wears. On the other hand, *how can anyone not show off all their toned muscles?* Arc points him out and says he’s been thinking so hard he’s been shooting fire out of his head.

Harlot sighs about being made to wait over shopping and is exasperated at how much time is eaten up by his indecision. Azathoth suggests sticking a timer on when it comes to making a choice, and not choosing before time’s up leads to a bad ending.

Arachne sighs a little over everyone’s problems, then decides to help everyone out all at once. She tells everyone to line up so she can make them all fabulous, then somehow changes Sitri, Aizen, Gullinbursti, and Surtr in no time.

Gullinbursti is pleasantly surprised at how tight fitting his swimsuit is. Sitri is a little embarrassed but happy, asking if he’s a manly man like you, or maybe Kengo. Surtr talks about how breathable and comfortable his is, and how his glutes, abs, and pecs are on fire. Aizen is ambivalent yelling shameless yet not shameless. You can then compliment Gullinbursti, say Sitri is cute, or say Surtr is cool.

In A Gullinbursti is happy and says he feels like he can take down a hundred giants. He then asks if you want to go fight in the mountains or the beach. In B Sitri is embarrassed and says you should be calling him cool as he swears to show that side of himself. In C Surtr is so happy that he says he could burn down the heat wave. Harlot then talks to him and asks if he liked the taste of the forbidden fruit, then offers to make dinner tonight that’ll make him so fat he can’t wear that swimsuit anymore. Surtr calms down and says they’ll look for her swimsuit next, then begs her not to use that large sugar syrup again.

In any case Aizen glares at you and warns you that he doesn’t want to hear any compliments from you, though you interrupt to say you see Ophion. This throws him off his groove for a bit as he tries to figure out whether he wants to be seen in such a shameless™ outfit or not. Aizen eventually decides this must be a trick when Ophion yells about seeing you as he flies down from the sky.

Ophion does a bit of touching up his grooming before he sets down, making no acknowledgement of Aizen’s existence. Hakumen greets Ophion as lizard and asks if he’d like a dozen of her first class ochazuke bowls. Arachne in shock asks her to not sell strange things in her store all of a sudden. Ophion calls Hakumen a vixen and challenges her by offering to pay her asking price. Arachne freaks out about that and asks them to not pick a fight in her store.

You can ask Ophion if his swimsuit was done by Arachne, say it’s really sexy, or say it’s excellent and call him your husband. He laughs and says it is, then says your praise is his alone. He’s normally not one to care for such menial handiwork, but there was just something about it that drew him in. So because of that he has one order made. He says anything he’d wear would have to be world class naturally, but he feels he does have to give praise for it.

Arachne thanks Ophion after a beat. Ophion comments that her work has a lingering scent from Olympus, then comments on her being here after running from Cronus’s family. He then decides to give her the honor of answering his question and asks if Tokyo is her paradise.

Ophion’s way of speaking reminds Arachne of the Olympian gods and she says she doesn’t like having to remember them. Having said that, she does answer and says she thinks it’s a good place. At the very least there’s freedom to wear what you want. Ophion laughs and says he doesn’t mind Arachne’s rudeness, then tells her to set her business up in Roppongi.

Arachne thanks him for that and says his swimsuit looks good and free. Anyways now that you guys have checked out the shop Arachne suggests going to the next place on the list. She also tells Tsathoggua and the others that it’s okay for them to close the shop whenever they feel ready. Hakumen says she doesn’t need to worry about them and tells her to focus on her market research. She can handle things here.

Arachne thanks her and then leaves with you. Ophion orders Aizen to help with some preparations for a party or something meant for you. Aizen is conflicted about this but agrees to go, then tells Sitri he’ll see him later. Sitri responds in kind and considers inviting Kengo to a water park.

Surtr starts talking about going to a pool next, and Azathoth laughs about it being a standard for games to have limited swimsuit characters for summer events. Harlot thinks going to see pigs in their swimsuits could be quaint, and Arc agrees with going to the pool as she tells everyone to be careful of heatstroke.

Gullinbursti comes back down to Earth after having his head in the clouds/Valhalla over how happy he was over his swimsuit. Then he realizes you aren’t there and starts yelling over where you are before running off.

Motosumi and Takemaru come by as Xolotl greets them. Motosumi says he’s looking for a swimsuit for himself and for his kids. Takemaru says he’s excited for how summer will turn out this year and suggests going to the beach later. Motosumi thinks it will be okay and agrees, though he asks for it to be a surprise for them.

Scene shifts to Kasai Coastal Park as Arachne connects summer to the beach to swimsuits. You comment on you guys being here or how nice the ocean breeze is. Either way Arachne says her designs are becoming the main summer conversation topics she tells you Suzuka and the others have a good stall or something set up, so you guys should go there for a break while researching.

Arachne then points out her swimsuit design is already getting all the looks on the beach as Wakan Tanka is being mobbed by a bunch of randos. One is calling him cool, one is inviting him to lunch, one asks him to look at her, and one asks him to hang out with her. Wakan Tanka thanks them all and says he’s happy to be with them.

As all this happens, one of the Yoyogi jocks also there starts running up to you in a sobbing wreck. That turns out to be Ashigara, who asks through his tears why isn’t he popular. Arachne is shocked by his sudden appearance. You either express surprise, try to calm him down, or say he has you.

In any case, he keeps crying. Arachne then recognizes him and says she can’t understand him when he’s just crying like that. Most of the other Yoyogi students run up after. You say you know mostly what’s going on but ask them for an explanation and for help comforting Ashigara.

Daisuke says they came to the beach since it’s summer when Wakan suddenly put on his swimsuit. Gunzou says Ashigara tried starting a popularity contest when he saw how he was getting so much attention. Durga says he couldn’t swing it and has obviously lost that battle.

Arachne says that’s awful and says she can have their outfits done in just a bit longer. Ashigara cheers up immediately, and Durga asks what her swimsuit is like. Arachne says it’s a work in progress and that she’s arranged for a new delivery of materials. She also says it’ll suit Durga’s fur pattern, so she’s sure it’ll fit her the best in the world. Durga’s happy she understands that about her.

Arachne then asks where Kyuuma is since she made him something. Durga says he should be back from his lap soon when she sees him and points him out. Avarga tells him to yell for the last spurt, and Kyuuma does so. You say he’s gotten cooler or comment on him getting new clothes made.

Kyuuma greets the two of you and thanks Arachne for making something for him despite how busy she is. Avarga tacks on his thanks too. Kyuuma then mentions that when he wears the new outfit people seem to like it. No one used to initiate talks much, but now he feels a bit more confident about getting popular.

Gunzou calls Kyuuma a jerk for leaving him out like this, and Ashigara agrees. Daisuke then tries to talk to Arachne about the thing he asked her for the other day. She says okay and will renew his order or whatever in secret. Pros have to be tight lipped, so she asks him to relax and wait. You ask what they’re talking about, and Daisuke claims it’s nothing. He’s sure you’ll be able to see it one day though, so look forward to it.

Mineaki is there and asks Arachne how she’s feeling. She thanks him for the other day and says she’s fine. Avarga advises her not to push herself too much, and Arachne says it’ll be okay. If it comes to it, you and Tsathoggua will stop her. You either tell her health management is part of her job or tell her to take it easy.

Either way Arachne says it was a joke, and that she plans on understanding herself better, even if by a little bit. She also remembers something and tells the teachers she’s sent a track suit design for Yoyogi and asks them to look at it later. Mineaki says she seems busy and that they don’t mind waiting for later.

Arachne says she’s greedy about getting whatever she can done, but she’ll be careful not to make mistakes. Average still reminds her to take care of herself. Since she’s about to go Avarga tells everyone to come say goodbye.

Wakan notices everyone loudly saying thanks to Arachne and runs on over, bowing with a slight look of discomfort on his face. He apologizes to you two for being late, but Arachne waves it off as an effect from the clothes she made for him. Speaking of, she asks him if he’s actually set up that date yet.

Wakan says he hasn’t yet, but when the time comes he’ll come get you. You either suggest you guys go play somewhere for starters, say you’ll be expecting him to ask you out, or be a bit taken aback and ask him not to force it. He looks you in the eyes and nods, which is where the episode part ends.
