Touko
You are so, so, so, so totally not gonna believe this! I just created the greatest... masterpiece... ever...!
Nanami
I especially like the coloration of the roof. I'm guessing it took quite a bit of work to come up with the faint hue~.
Touko
That's what you'd think, right? But I just mixed a bit of this color with a bit of that one, and I got it in one shot!
Touko
Also, what I really like about this sketch is the bronze statue of yours truly! What do ya think? Pretty awesome, right?
Touko
Everyone knows I'm gonna make it big in the future, so it's only a matter of time before there's one.
Touko
Huh? Is this really supposed to be your sketch...? The shapes are all so squiggly, and the schoolhouse wall is kinda deformed.
Touko
Interesting... Everything's so squiggly, but the more I look at it, the more I think your sketch has a certain charm to it!
Touko
Yeah, it actually doesn't seem all that bad! Well~, it's nowhere near as good as mine, though!
Touko
And since I'm actually free after school for once, I can give you some drawing tips to help you do better!
Rui
Indeed, it does. The outlines are very poorly defined. At first glance, one might even assume it to be the scribblings of a child.
Rui
Yet when it comes to the composition, relative positions of objects, and distances, the accuracy displayed is most impressive.

Touko
Doesn't it just blow your mind? Especially this bronze statue! It's like it's inspired by god, isn't it?
Tsukushi
Seriously~, do you have any idea how many times you've brought it up? That assignment is all you've been talking about.
Touko
You just don't get it, do you, Fusuke~? True art compels you to keep talking about it! You get what I mean, right, Shiro?
Tsukushi
I see... Ah, what was Nanami-chan's drawing like, by the way? I bet it must have been quite good.
Touko
Actually, it was kinda all squiggly. It looked like the konnyaku noodles in my grandma's stewed dishes...
Touko
Mind you, I kind of liked it, but if I had to choose between good or bad, I'd have to go with not so good.
Tsukushi
Me too. I mean, she did make those accessories that looked good enough to be sold at a store...
Tsukushi
Like that time she took the violin sheet music and rearranged it for our band. And the exams where she got the exact average score for every subject.
Mashiro
Yes, I've never seen anything like that. I know she said it was all just a coincidence, but...
Tsukushi
She sometimes does things that clearly aren't normal, but she herself doesn't realize... That's what I mean by different.
Touko
Probably just luck? She did say anybody could've rearranged the music and made the accessories with a little research!
Touko
She must've found some websites with some great explanations. I so wish I had that kind of luck~.
Lisa
The air's so cool~. I can finally feel the life returning to me~. I don't think I'd be able to make it through summer if AC had never been invented~.
Nanami
In that case, may I suggest the half-and-half set? You get to order half-sized servings of two desserts of your choice.
Nanami
We also have some new additions to the menu starting today, so please take a look at them as well.
Nanami
The mango tart on page six, row two, and the hyuganatsu cake on page eight, row three are particularly popular among the staff.
Arisa
Whoa. They're exactly where you said they would be... I'm surprised you remembered even though it's only your first day.
Transcript
Nanami
She asked to have practice pushed back an hour because an errand suddenly came up that she had to take care of...
Nanami
(Wh-what's that painting doing out here...?! It's supposed to be at the back of the shelf...)
Nanami
(Ah! Papa said yesterday he might have to go through the shelves to look for some files... H-he didn't put everything away even though I asked him to...)
Touko
No friggin' way! Just look over here! It's a dog... flying through the night sky! Can you believe that?
Touko
And look at this sunny-side-up egg! I bet this is the artist's way of expressing how delicious the one they had for breakfast was!
It's like you're not the same as us.
Normal people wouldn't be able to do that... You really are different.

Touko
Trust me, there are a ton! I bet everyone's gonna be talking about these shirts as soon as I post about it online~.
Touko
You know me. I always keep my promises. And everyone knows my lips are as tight as the strings of my grandma's kinchaku bags.
Touko
I gotta say~, it was a good idea even for me~. I just happened to be having trouble deciding what new item to release for my brand. This was totally two birds with one stone.
Nanami
Thank you for your order. That will be two orange juices, one iced tea, and one tropical juice. Will that be all?
Tsukushi & Mashiro
Ohhh~.
Rui
Kirigaya-san, you should place that bag by the window. Kurata-san is having trouble finding space to sit because of it.
Lisa
Mm-hmm. I'm supposed to have band practice, but I left home early by mistake, so I'm trying to kill some time.
Lisa
Well, I guess I could stick around until practice☆ So, what is it that you're so eager to show me?
Lisa
Latest item? That T-shirt? Interesting... It looks like it would feel like it's just the right size, and the colors are really cute!
Touko
Right~? I wanted to add a little something extra, so I made the embroidery look like a picture frame.
Tsukushi
It's the new item for Touko-chan's brand. Look at this painting! Don't you think it's amazing?
Touko
Aww~, all that praise made me so happy~. Alright, then... I'm giving each of you one of these shirts!
Tsukushi & Mashiro
Really?!
Transcript
Touko
I know, but whatever... Look at this! Just look at how much everyone's talking on social media about the T-shirt!
Nanami
... "The picture on the back of the new TOKO shirt looks really chic." "Wow! The picture is so fascinating!" "The picture and design are so cute! I love it!"
Touko
Told ya you wouldn't believe it! It's been getting likes ever since I made the post yesterday!
Touko
Man~, I freak myself out by how much talent I've got. It's like I'm becoming an even greater genius.
Touko
But okay. If you wanna keep it a secret, I'll go along. I got everyone to see your picture and talk about my T-shirt, so it's totally two birds with one stone for me anyway~.
Rui
After all, Hiromachi-san received the grand prize for it at an art competition. Given such an accomplishment, it is only natural that it receive the recognition that it deserves.
Tsukushi & Mashiro
Huh?!
Rui
There was an article in the school newspaper when we were in middle school. It mentioned that Hiromachi-san had become the youngest winner of the art competition's grand prize.
Tsukushi & Mashiro
W-wow~! You drew that?!
Transcript
Touko
Yeah~! I've never had such a big hit, so I'm thinking of following it up with another killer product.
Mashiro
It's been a few days, but people are still talking about the T-shirt with Nanami-chan's painting.
Touko
I figure if I wanna outdo Nanami's picture, I need to use my own sketch because it's the only one that's just as artsy.
Nanami
Oh, that's mine~. I got it because I feel like painting. It's been a while since I've wanted to.
