Trust The Spider Cowboy and the Delusion Idol

Story Description: You watch the hilarious yet cool Outer Ring action flick "The Spider Cowboy" with Nangong, and listen to her musings about life as an Outer Ring cowboy beyond her idol persona.


Nangong Yu: Hold on tight, Manager! Brace yourself for an exhilarating cowboy adventure!
Icon Dialogue Talk So this is the movie you picked, huh.
Icon Dialogue Talk I didn't expect you to be into movies like this.

Nangong Yu: What's wrong? Never seen a cowboy with wings before?
Nangong Yu: Just because I'm in an idol group doesn't mean I can't appreciate cowboys with revolvers, right?
The "Mill and Yuko: The Spider Cowboy" tape slides into the player.
The protagonist, Mill, is exactly as the title suggests:
An Outer Ring cowboy with three pairs of mechanical arms mounted on his back.
The cowboy wields all kinds of firearms with both his arms and mechanical appendages, performing dazzling gunplay while upholding justice.
Even more eye-catching than the gunplay is the cowboy's partner, Yuko, a gentle yet resolute Outer Ring navigator, guiding the cowboy along the path ahead...
Nangong Yu: Mill and Yuko's motorcycle vanishes into a cloud of dust, and off they go, their legendary adventure rolling on...
Nangong Yu: *sigh* It doesn't feel right to end things here. Like, all that buildup was for nothing.
Icon Dialogue Talk Good times always fly by so fast.
Icon Dialogue Talk It's a popcorn action movie, after all.

Nangong Yu: Nah... I just wasn't expecting it to end like that. I wish their adventure had kept going a bit longer.
Nangong Yu: Haven't you ever dreamed about a life like that, Manager? Living like a cowboy, wandering the roads on a motorcycle?
Icon Dialogue Talk I prefer a peaceful life.
Icon Dialogue Talk My life's pretty exciting already.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Compared to the wandering life of a cowboy, (‍I suppose I prefer the rare peaceful moments here on Sixth Street.

Nangong Yu: Whether or not you admit it, Manager, that adventurous side of yours is one of your most charming qualities~
Nangong Yu: Sunna and Aria are both pretty brave, but I always feel like they're missing that reckless, fearless spirit cowboys have.
Nangong Yu: But you need that reckless curiosity to become a great artist, you know!
Nangong Yu: Honestly, looking back on it now... I might've actually preferred being a Cowboy Angel rather than an Idol Angel.
Nangong Yu: But then Sunna came along, going on and on about her dream of becoming a composer.
Nangong Yu: I knew there was no way that silly goose could make it in the dazzling world of New Eridu on her own.
Nangong Yu: So I basically had no choice but to fast-forward my own story straight to the "Settling Down for Idol Life" episode.
Icon Dialogue Talk It wasn't a choice you ended up regretting, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk It's already a shared dream, right?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍But I get the feeling you don't regret joining Angels of Delusion either. This isn't just Sunna's dream anymore, is it?But I get the feeling you don't regret joining Angels of Delusion either.

Nangong Yu: Of course not! If I said I regretted it, those two dummies would bawl their eyes out, then corner me at practice and be like, "What is your dream, Nangong?"
Nangong Yu: —I was supposed to be happy and content with my life being part of an idol group. But lately, all those adventures with you seem to have woken up my inner cowboy again!
Nangong Yu: Do you remember that motorcycle we didn't get to ride in the Outer Ring? You really won't let me buy one? If I had it, you could ride with me next time we go into the Hollow!
Nangong Yu: I'll be wielding a revolver... and a hammer, and you can be my gentle yet brave navigator, just like Mill and Yuko!
Nangong Yu: Nangong and (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍): The Angel Cowboy. How's that sound as the title for our blockbuster action movie?
Icon Dialogue Talk Sounds like a guaranteed hit.
Icon Dialogue Talk That'd totally blow up at the box office.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Sounds like the kind of movie that's sure to be a blockbuster, Miss Cowboy~Sounds like the kind of movie that's sure to be a blockbuster, Miss Cowboy~ / Sounds like it would be quite the blockbuster, Miss Cowboy~Sounds like it would be quite the blockbuster, Miss Cowboy~‍)
Nangong Yu: Won't people start gossiping though...? Saying things like "Angels of Delusion is falling apart, the members are going solo"!
Nangong Yu: But if it's teaming up with you, Proxy... I'm sure Sunna and Aria would understand. Hehe~
Nangong Yu: So, to keep Sunna and Aria from getting jealous, I've just decided: I'll only work with you in my capacity as captain of Angels of Delusion, for now.
Nangong Yu: Looking forward to our adventures ahead, (‍Mr.Mr. / MissMiss‍) Protagonist~

(Nangong Yu can now promote the video store.)
(Idle)
Nangong Yu: I'm not quite satisfied yet~
(Talk to Nangong Yu again, optional)
Nangong Yu: Guess my dream of being an Outer Ring cowboy isn't happening anytime soon.
Nangong Yu: For Sunna and Aria's sake, I'll keep working with you in my role as the Angels of Delusion's captain... just for the time being~
