Lalafin VS Math

 **Lalafin:**Okay, so you apply the formula here...

 **Lalafin:**Then the two numbers ULTRA FUSE to form...

 **Lalafin:**Ta-daa! Hyper Numeral Dreadnought, SOLUTION ROBO!

 **Lalafin:**...Huh? Wait, whaaat? That's not right... It gave me a totally different answer!

 **Lalafin:**The ultra fusion failed!! Nooooo!

 **Lalafin:**But seriously, where'd I mess up? Okay, time to double-check my work!

 **Lalafin:**............

 **Lalafin:**Rgh... I can't tell. Okay, time to start over!

 **Lalafin:**Erase all that... Gah, now the printout's all wrinkled from too much erasing.

 **Lalafin:**Farewell, eraser dust! \*phewww\*

 **Lalafin:**Waugh!? Sorry, I just blew eraser dust all over you!

 **Lalafin:**...Wait. Have you been there this whole time?

 **Lalafin:**You were listening to me talk to myself? Ahh!

 **Lalafin:**Sorry, I always hated math, so I was swapping it out for something I love! Giant combining robots.

 **Lalafin:**It didn't get me the right answer, but it did get me AN answer, and that's what really matters.

 **Lalafin:**So I'm gonna call it a huge success! It's how to fall in love with math, Lalafin style!

 **Lalafin:**The other day we got printouts in math, and I couldn't do any of the problems...

 **Lalafin:**The teacher's still waiting for me to turn it in. I know I've gotta hurry, but I'm so bad at math.

 **Lalafin:**Just looking at numbers makes me sleepy.

 **Lalafin:**I think it's a form of hypnosis.

 **Lalafin:**Huh? But I seemed so focused a minute ago?

 **Lalafin:**Right?! I've been trying a bunch of things to help with that, and it's working!

 **Lalafin:**The stuff I like the least is connected to what I love most. It's just like Shizuha said!

 **Lalafin:**Ooh! And they say music was invented out of numbers, too!

 **Lalafin:**So like a "Do" and a "Re" are... There's a frequency thing that's... Anyway, it's math! I'm pretty sure it's math!

 **Lalafin:**That's what Shizuha said, so it's gotta be!

 **Lalafin:**She says some famous guy thought it up. Py... P... Pthhh... Python?

 **Lalafin:**Huh? Pythagoras?

 **Lalafin:**......?

 **Lalafin:**I dunno, sure! Him!

 **Lalafin:**So, like... I guess the point here is that now I know the math I hate is connected to stuff I love like songs and music.

 **Lalafin:**That was super surprising! And it makes me want to keep going with it. I bet I can learn to love math, too!

 **Lalafin:**Even acting wasn't all easy from the start. It's because I stuck with it that I love it so much now!

 **Lalafin:**Plus I hear tokusatsu shows have to use math to know how much explosives to use for the action scenes.

 **Lalafin:**So I've gotta study enough to at LEAST know how to do that!

 **Lalafin:**...Huh? You'll teach me!?

 **Lalafin:**Yaaay, you're the best!

 **Lalafin:**What really matters is trying your best huh?

 **Lalafin:**Because doing that connects you with friends! Hee hee ♪

Soar! Lalafin!

 **Lalafin:**Hup!

 **Lalafin:**Haaah!

 **Misora:**Hwaah! Lalafin-senpai, your jumps are high as ever today... Maybe even higher!

 **Lalafin:**Ooh, you get it, Misora!

 **Lalafin:**For "New Cinderella," I'm doing action sequences in a big dress.

 **Lalafin:**It's a heavier costume than I'm used to, and it'd be super lame if that brings my jump down!

 **Misora:**The air you get is amazing, but the fact that you don't have a hair out of place is almost MORE amazing.

 **Lalafin:**My hair? Oh!

 **Lalafin:**That's just the Super Gravitational Vector Stabilization feature of my cutting-edge Bunnyfin hairband at work.

 **Misora:**I'm afraid the hero lingo won't work on me. I'm not Aruru.

 **Lalafin:**Whaaat? But the Super Gravitational Vector Stabilization feature is awesome!

 **Misora:**What does that even mean? Gravitational vector? And you're stabilizing it? ...I don't get it.

 **Lalafin:**Neither do I! How is that a problem?

 **Misora:**......

 **Lalafin:**Okay, if you're doing some big action scene and don't want to mess up your hair, you have to pay attention to how you move your body.

 **Misora:**How you move?

 **Lalafin:**Yup!

 **Lalafin:**The most important thing is to keep your axis steady. Make sure there's a straight line through the core of your body.

 **Lalafin:**Like... Like dumplings on a skewer!

 **Misora:**...Dumplings?

 **Lalafin:**Here, it's easier to just show you.

 **Lalafin:**I'll run through a few movements. Try to see whether I'm on a skewer or not.

 **Misora:**Yeah, okay! That seems easy enough!

 **Lalafin:**Okay, here goes!

 **Lalafin:**Hup! Hah! Yah!

 **Lalafin:**Lalafin Jumping Kiiick!

 **Lalafin:**...and landing!

 **Misora:**Wow! You were on a skewer, straight as an arrow!

 **Lalafin:**Thanks! Now you try, Misora!

 **Misora:**Got it! Hup! Hah! Yah!

 **Lalafin:**Right, right! When you're moving from the waist down, use the rest of your body to dissipate the force!

 **Misora:**Misora Jumping Kiiick!

 **Lalafin:**Way to go, Misora! Your breathing is super controlled, too!

 **Misora:**That's very kind of you to say! It's high praise to have you compliment me on my action work, Lalafin-senpai!

 **Lalafin:**We may be ready for a super fusion finishing move...

 **Misora:**Um...fusion?

 **Lalafin:**Super fusion finishing move! I was planning on doing the second-act action sequence solo, but maybe we should get you in on it!

 **Misora:**What?! But I come on right after that. As the stepmother.

 **Lalafin:**Sure, but there's a set change in between. Couldn't we make it work?

 **Lalafin:**I'll talk it over with Shizuha. You keep practicing those moves! I bet we can do this!

 **Misora:**She ran off... And after all that hard practice. Where does she get the energy?

 **Misora:**Oh, if I'm getting another scene, I need to be practicing, too!

 **Misora:**Okay, let's do this!

 **Misora:**Hyah! Haaah!

 **Lalafin:**I've been getting more attention than ever after telling people I'm playing Cinderella. I've gotta make sure I live up to their expectations!

 **Lalafin:**If I were Cinderella, I'd want to get transformed into a superhero outfit, not a ballgown. Then I'd go do battle with the forces of evil!

 **Lalafin:**I guess that's a different story at that point... But it'd be pretty awesome! I want Cinderella to rise up and fight!

 **Lalafin:**Okay, it's time to go! Go where? To talk to Shizuha and the others about this, and work it into our play! Ooh, I can't wait!
