We were great models today!

You got a little too into it. Kind of turned me off.

I think you're the last person Kasumi wants to hear that from, Nico.

What was that?!

You get it, Maki, you really get it! I knew it would be obvious to those in the know.

You were both excellent, Nico and Kasumi. Yet I must say, I truly felt the most growth in my sister's modest frame before the camera.

It was the first time I've had my picture taken like that, so it was pretty tough, but I'm glad I got to wear a cute kimono!

The sounds of the camera were pretty nice, weren't they?

It felt like I was a different person out there. It was really exciting.

R-Really? My heart was just pounding the whole time.

Is it just me, or are these three really excited?

Anyone would get like this. It's something only those who've modeled would understand.

Well, I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed yourselves. Honestly, I was worried about whether Ruby could handle it, but she has grown up splendidly.

Grown up? That makes it sound like I'm an adult now.

You still look like a little kid, though.

Are you one to talk, Nico?

Today was a wonderful experience! I found out just how cute I can look in a kimono, and that's huge! Oh, I'd better send her a message, right away.

Yeah, this was a real skill booster. It was a rare experience, too.

I leveled up, didn't I?!

My photos are going to be sold in bookstores. This is so exciting!

Hearing that makes me kind of nervous.

Nervous? Come on, you've got to take this head-on!

Well, shall we get going? Hm? Oh, it looks like we're being called. Did someone forget something?

Hold on! If you two were interested, I'd love to ask you to model for us, as well.

Wh-What?! Us?!

Well, why not? It's a pretty good opportunity; go get your picture taken.

Why me?

I can understand feeling inadequate after my perfect show back there. You don't need to push yourself, Maki.

Who're you calling “inadequate”? You know what, I'm doing this. Bring it on.

If Maki is rising to the occasion, I will take on the task as well.
