Shakespeare?

[She pronounces the name... strangely, as if she never heard the name before. Which is odd, because otherwise her English is rather good]

I've never heard of him. He must not be important. [Well, that would explain that...]

You should do something from the Takarazuka Revue instead.

[Ironically, that group has done Twelfth Night before.]

[She clearly has no idea how this kind of stuff works beyond the spectator position]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

-Oh boy, here we go.-

It's not Takarazuka Revue if it's not done by that troupe, you know. And regardless, not all of my students know Japanese.

[black_lily]

Y-yes, well...

... you can adapt it to English, then.

[Her entire argument has already been blown out of the water, but she was stubbornly hanging on to what small shred there was left of it.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

You'll also notice we've a bit too many men for a Takarazuka Revue, as well.

[black_lily]

That's... that is true.

We'll just have to work with what we have, then, and substitute the women with the men where we have to.

[As long as she had something to argue, she'll stubbornly hold on]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

... You're not winning this one, Miss Kurosawa.

[black_lily]

Y-you can't just dismiss my argument like that!

[Somebody needs to learn how to stop... but at this point, she's not sure what she's even arguing anymore]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Huh. It's funny because I just did.

[black_lily]

But...!

...

[She realizes her argument has no point, but she's not going to admit to it, either.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Now, seeing as you're such a Takarazuka fan, I'm sure you'll have no trouble playing our plucky crossdressing female lead.

[black_lily]

[She's not exactly a huge fan, given she didn't even know they've done Twelfth Night, but she wasn't going to admit to that, either]

... well, yes, that would be acceptable.

[All wrapped up in the flow, she doesn't quite realize what just happened.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Excellent! I'm glad we found our Viola so quickly!

[black_lily]

Y-yes...

[Was she tricked? But if she called him out on that, she would be admitting to it. And she did accept the role, didn't she? Whatever had just happened...]

There will be no better Viola than myself.

[If she acts like she meant to do this all along, then nobody would think she had been tricked.]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

I haven't any doubts. -Yeah, he tricked her. But he also knew that she would indeed do a fantastic job. It was just getting her to do it.-

[black_lily]

Of course. Only the foolish would have doubts about my ability. [Yes, indeed. Acting isn't... something she's quite developed a taste for (yet?), since it deviated quite heavily from smashing ruffians in the face or just simply looking pretty, but when she set her mind to something she could actually do quite well.]
