Yakuza 3 Remastered

Yui-chan's a very independent woman. She's cheerful and positive and super fun to hang out with! Though she does have an ever-growing number of men who fall for her and start showering her with gifts... Her blood type is A, she's a Gemini, and she loves grilling meat, though she's not a fan of the fatty kind. Yui-chan's free-spirited nature might just steal your heart.

In the remastered version, Yui replaces Rina Ayukawa.

Dialogue Tree

Yakuza Kiwami

Oh, really? Did you quit your job?	I'm just unemployed.	-
	I was in prison.	+
	I finished my term.	+

That's why, when I first meet a new customer, I always say, "No matter how much you spend, I'm not falling in love."	You should go out with them.	-
	At least you're honest.	+

Actually, I'm stuck on that. I looked up some classes, but there are so many options! If you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them.	Dance Lessons	+
	Martial Arts	-
	Cooking Class	+

And now they're telling me to convince her not do it. They dragged me into it, but...	It's your sister's choice.	+
	You should both do it.	+
	Your parents are right.	-

Either way, whether they have a boyfriend or not, there aren't that many girls who like being hit on by customers.	Maybe it simply depends on the girl.
	Men need to consider a girl's feelings.	+

But what if they go all the way to marriage? What would they say at the wedding? That they met at a cabaret club...?	They can be vague about it.	+
	The two of them could elope.
	Honesty is the best policy.	+

Well, Kiryu-san, what do you think of people who don't attend their class reunions?	They're being antisocial.	-
	Maybe they don't like fun.	+
	They're probably too busy.

That's what annoys me most about it. The least he could have done was say, "I'll buy you something. Let's go shopping!"	Just flat-out refuse.	-
	Ask for cash instead.	-
	That's an old trick.	+

I did tell them! I said, "I don't like you at all." But it didn't discourage them.	The wording is all wrong.	+
	Just give them a chance.	-
	They're jerks.	+

I could never say that! Even if it's to liven up the mood, I couldn't bring myself to say "I like you" to a customer!	You have to be professional.
	How about "I love you"?	+
	You have a pure heart.	-

That's why I can't take the plunge yet. What do you think?	The sooner you get him, the better.	+
	If you're lonely, take me instead.	-
	If you have doubts, then don't do it.	+

Just try and guess!	You're not funny.
	You're a bitch.	-
	You're not cute.	+

That's not it. My sister's asked him to go on a real date several times, but he still hasn't made any effort to see her outside the club! Is that even possible?	Wouldn't call that "dating."
	You're being weird.
	What a weird guy...	+

If that's the case, he's having an affair. It won't lead to anything good, so she should end it with this guy, right?	Not our business.	+
	She should end it.	+

So when I imagine having to deal with the photo shoot from hell all over again, I get depressed.	Just don't even smile.	+
	Have a friend take them.	+
	You'll get used to it.	-

For example, even when she orders a cocktail, it's actually a virgin.	That's just a cheap con!
	Do you do that too?
	Sounds healthy.	+

Maybe I can hold my liquor. How about a drinking contest?	No thank you.	+
	Challenge accepted.	+

That's why I was worried that you would suddenly leave, too.	I'll always be by your side.	-
	That's certainly possible.	+

Exactly. That's why I need to make sure I don't ever fall in love with someone I wouldn't want to say goodbye to!	You should quit this job.	+
	Bet you're in love already.	+
	That's the right decision.	-

So I told her she was too young to understand, and she countered with a jab that I'm too old! What do you think?	Age doesn't matter.	-
	Depends on the movie.	+
	Age really matters.	+

Then the salon was really crowded. Even though I had an appointment, I still had to wait.	You should leave earlier.	-
	Could've taken a day off.	-
	I'm sorry to hear that.	+

Yeah. It's a quota we have to meet. Unless I get someone to escort me a few times per month, I have to pay a penalty.	You won't fall in love, right?	+
	But no going out after hours?
	I don't mind helping you out.	+

Oh, actually, I already have something planned for that. So leave it to me!	Sounds expensive...	-
	Looking forward to it.	+

Yakuza 3 Remastered

They kept yelling for me to apologize to them, and I was like, "Uh, are you dumb? Why should I apologize?"	That's how you got them to buy you things?
	Sounds like you brought that on yourself.
	You did nothing wrong.	+

So basically, the whole reason I started working as a hostess was to try and gain some weight!	I'm glad to hear you're doing better.	+
	What a great friend.
	Why were you sick?	-

That's why I've got a total soft spot for guys with a one-track mind, like you, Kiryu-san!	A one-track mind?
	I'm glad to hear that.	+
	You've got the wrong idea of me.

I want a guy who can put up with my crazy impulses, like my ex did.	I hope you can find someone.	+
	Isn't Nagoya in the complete opposite direction?
	So he should be completely subservient.

It's super fun!	What's so fun about it?	+
	I'm still having a hard time imagining it...
	You should help me get all "blinged out," too.

So, what do you think I should do to get there?	How should I know?
	Be my girl.	+
	Why would you want to do that?	+

But I expect people to come and help me when my life is in danger!	Someone did help you though, right?	+
	Could it be because you mess around all the time?
	Sounds like fate has it out for you.

I know there are some girls who like to go three or four times a week, but I don't think it's for me.	Think you'd get bored of it?	+
	You could ask them to buy you stuff.
	Why don't you get the hosts a gift or two?
