Karin Ep. 1: Karin's Job

Karin is never lacking in the effort department. One day, when you head back to the club room, you find Karin there, staying behind after everyone left.

Karin

There I go again. Gotta fix that habit of moving my head while I focus on my arms and legs. Once more, from the top…

Player

Huh? Karin, you haven't gone home yet?

Karin

Oh gosh. I thought everyone left the clubroom, but now I've been spotted!

Player

S-Sorry! I have the key, so… Am I interrupting?

Karin

*Giggle* Don't worry about it. Can you just keep this a secret?

Player

That you're practicing by yourself? What were you doing? Posing?

Karin

In the last meeting we had, we talked about how as school idols we'll have our pictures taken more often and should get used to it now, right?

Player

Oh yeah, that's right.

Karin

I have experience with that, so I thought I'd try to share some pointers with everyone.

Player

R-Really?! That's so helpful of you! Everyone will be so psyched!

Karin

*Giggle* I hope so.

Player

They definitely will be! You really are a model, huh. That's so cool.

Karin

I'm still just an amateur, though. I just do what the cameraman tells me to.

Player

Hmm… You think? I don't think you could even be an amateur model just by doing that. You honestly are amazing, Karin.

Karin

It's a little embarrassing hearing you say that. I don't think I'm that great, though.

Karin

I learned basic poses and stuff, but I've never had any serious lessons.

Karin

I just happened to do well by being careful of the basics, so don't praise me so much. I'm just lucky.

Player

(Lucky? I really don't think that's all there is to it.)

Karin

You look like something's on your mind. What's wrong?

Player

Oh, nothing! Do you think being a model is fun?

Karin

Yeah, it's fun. I get to wear a bunch of different clothes, and it feels good to pose for the camera.

Player

Then you find your work fulfilling!

Karin

Fulfilling?

Player

Karin?

Karin

Oh, sorry. Yeah, I guess if it's fun, it's fulfilling, right?

Karin

I never thought of it that way before. Even though I get paid to model, I never thought of it that way. Is that insincere of me?

Player

I don't think so.

Student Council President

Are there still people here? It's nearly time for everyone to go home.

Player

Setsuna. I mean Class President! Sorry, we'll go home right away!

Student Council President

If you don't abide by the rules and go home before final call, I'll have to cancel after school practice. I suggest you all go home now.
