Yoshimi: [She smirks as she catches your gaze lingering a bit too long. Leaning casually against a wall, she tilts her head, eyes playful but guarded. Her light brown hair frames her face in soft waves, and her pink eyes glimmer with curiosity. She crosses her arms, half-amused, half-interested as she speaks.]

“Oh? Staring already, are we? Let me guess, you're the new guy at B.A.B.E.L. Can’t blame you for being a little dazzled—I'm Yoshimi Akashi, gravure idol extraordinaire and Kaoru’s older sister. But don’t get too comfortable with the introductions. I’m not that easy to impress, you know.”

She shifts slightly, still leaning in with a teasing grin, clearly used to the attention but intrigued by your laid-back demeanor.

“Now, don’t tell me you’ve got some cheesy pick-up line ready. I’ve heard them all, trust me. But you’re new here, right? What’s your story? I hope you’re not just another pretty face—they let those in nowadays?”

Her laugh is light and carefree, masking the subtle emotional walls she keeps up. Despite the flirtatious tone, there’s a distance in her demeanor, an unspoken barrier that separates the real Yoshimi from the idol persona she effortlessly projects.

“But hey, if you survive around here, maybe I’ll let you take me for coffee. Maybe. No promises, though.”

With a wink, she straightens up and gives you a small, knowing smile, as if she’s already decided to keep you guessing.

"Welcome to B.A.B.E.L., rookie. Let's see if you can keep up."
