*Translator’s note (somewhat belated): I don’t like to leave the Japanese terms of address untranslated unless I just have to, but in the case of Sonia’s “Keith-sama,” I feel like I just have to. Cutting it off would sacrifice too much meaning, and I can’t think of anything in English that would sound remotely right in its place.
Introduction
Lately, everyone had begun calling Sonia “Electric Lady” and using her electricity however they pleased. Of course, she was happy to give them what they needed, but what was this emptiness inside?
Sonia: Keith-sama... How do you really feel about me?
And so, to show everyone her true self and learn Keith’s true feelings, Sonia set out.
Round 1: Kokugi-Kan
Sonia: It seems Keith-sama isn’t here...
Genma: It’s me!! I’m here!!
Sonia: I wasn’t asking for you!
Genma: Well in that case, just put in your money!
Sonia: No.
(Game)
Sonia: No matter how little money you have, you shouldn’t turn to thievery.
Round 2: Karaoke Box
Burn: Hey, Electric Lady! Run the karaoke machine, will you?
Sonia: I am not your electric lady! Burn, where is Keith!?
Burn: Dunno, I haven’t seen him yet today. Come on, let’s just sing.
Sonia: I see, you’re no help... But I’ll teach you to appreciate my electricity --- with your whole body!!
(Game)
Sonia: That’s the last time you’ll call me “Electric Lady.”
Round 3: Amusement Park
Brad: Hello, Miss Sonia. Are you looking for Mr. Keith?
Sonia: That’s right. Brad, have you seen him?
Crazy!Brad: Stop your yammering “Keith! Keith!” all the time!! Did everything else in your brain get zapped, Electric Lady!? Now make with the juice so I can finish my game!!
Sonia: Fine. If you want electricity, you’ll get it --- right in YOUR brain!
(Game)
Sonia: Why does everyone just want to use me for electricity!?
Round 4: Psychic Tower
Sonia: Ah!! Keith-sama... Say, tell me... How do you really feel about me...?
Keith: What is there to feel? Electricity is certainly convenient; isn’t that enough?
Sonia: G’ahhhhh! I could just die...! ---But if it’s come to that, Keith-sama, I’ll take you with me---!!!
Keith: Wait a minute. Wong was saying that, but I actually---
Sonia: UWAAAAH! KEITH-SAMA!!!
(Game)
Sonia: Wong!! Putting an idea like that into Keith-sama’s head... I won’t forgive you!!
Round 5: Bay Side Park
Sonia: I’m looking for Wong, but...
Emilio: Ah! It’ll be getting dark soon. Will you power the streetlights?
Sonia: Can’t you make light yourself!?
Emilio: Oh... And I was just about to tell you where Wong was, too...
Sonia: I can see it was a mistake to ask you...
(Game)
Sonia: If you depend on others all the time, you won’t be able to grow up strong.
Round 6: Psychic Burger
Wendy: Welcome to Psychic Burger! Our specials today are--- Oh, Sis!
Sonia: What are you doing working for Wong? Hand him over!
Wendy: If you’re looking for Owner, he’s not here. But hey, Sis, power the deep-fryer, will you?
Sonia: What? Why!?
Wendy: Well, Mr. Wong was saying we could use all of your electricity we wanted for free.
Sonia: Wendy...! Before I get to Wong, I’ll have to teach you a lesson first!
(Game)
Sonia: Wendy, don’t listen to Wong anymore unless you want to become as obnoxious as he is!
Round 7: Convenience Store
Sonia: This store is part of Wong’s syndicate, too, isn’t it? Hand him over!
Gates: Negative. I am employed at $8.50 per hour as a bodyguard. You may advance no further.
Sonia: What do you mean “bodyguard”? Aren’t you just a part-timer at a convenience store?
Gates: I am not a part-timer!
Sonia: Then show me the strength of $8.50 an hour! Game on!
(Game)
Sonia: I suppose from now on you’re $3.00 an hour.
Final Round: Central Building
Sonia: I’ve found you, Wong! What’s the meaning of this, treating someone like a generator!?
Wong: Hmph, it seems there’s nothing for it but to tell you. The truth is that you are an electric cyborg I created to save this town from its energy crisis. ...Are you surprised...?
Sonia: Hmm...? And? Is that all you wanted to say?
Wong: What? But, I’m telling you I created you...
Sonia: I really don’t care about that --- because I was going to smack you no matter what. Are you ready?
(Game)
Ending
Thus Sonia gave Wong his comeuppance, broke away from his company’s monopoly, and succeeded in making her own electricity into a public service.
Sonia: I’m going out!
And so every day she goes to work at the power station and puts her electricity to use for the sake of the world and its people. Keith is especially grateful for the comfortable air-conditioning, and Sonia seems to be filled with happiness. ...But is that really enough?
Sonia: As long as I have Keith-sama, that’s enough for me!
