Cyber-Idol Royale: Heels of Destiny

Roy Hazama

Number One—white and green cyber idol gear. Platform heels. Now.

Kotori

B-but this is just a design I was testing for μ's—

Maki

Congratulations, Kotori. You just got drafted into whatever this is.

Kotori

Okay... if it's an order... but these heels are seven centimeters taller than anything I've ever worn...

Roy Hazama

Stop stalling. We don't have all night.

Maki

How do you make that look natural? It's like you were born in platform armor.

Kotori

Well... I did design twelve variations before picking this one...

Roy Hazama

Acceptable. Now—

Kotori

Actually, Maki-chan... I always test my designs. This one's your size.

Maki

You wouldn't dare—

Roy Hazama

Number Two—red and black variant. Let's see if rich girls can walk in heels too.

Kotori

What was that about looking natural, Maki-chan?

Maki

Kotori! Make it stop! These things just grew on their own!

Kotori

The balance sub-routine activates when it detects poor posture~

Roy Hazama

I didn't authorize adaptive heel modifications. Explain.

Kotori

I added it after Maki-chan tripped over the music-stand cable last week. Safety features are important!

Maki

You promised you'd never mention that again...

Roy Hazama

Your definition of 'safety' involves seven-centimeter heel extensions?

Maki

So you designed these outfits... with hidden features?

Kotori

Of course! Emergency dance mode, auto-balance, and—

Maki

Emergency dance mode? Show me.

Maki

If I have to suffer through your sadistic fashion experiment...

Kotori

Maki-chan, wait, that's not how it works—

Roy Hazama

Do it, Number Two. Let's see what other surprises she's hiding.

Kotori

The settings are linked! Maki-chan, no fair!

Maki

Now we're both walking on stilts. How's your 'balance sub-routine' feeling?

Roy Hazama

Brilliant. The designer gets trapped by her own creation.

Kotori

I... may have made the heel extensions too aggressive...
