☀️ Arselia and Akonia

One hot July day, Ayano, blushing, hesitantly asks for the opinions of some people close to her on a particular matter: - "Um, listen, Mom... This is pretty silly, and to be honest, it's not really my thing, but let's just imagine a completely unrealistic situation – for example, what if I did a photoshoot in my Mikki outfit for some trendy magazine? In a completely acceptable way, of course – without any of that... you know. Wouldn't that help bring our great culture to the masses? What do you think? Would it be shameful by the standards of the Empire? Or would you kick me out of the house after that...?" - "Hmm, hello. How's training going – are you being too rough with the little ones? I hope not. This... My question might seem strange, but... wouldn't my ancestors turn away from me if, for example... they saw a photoshoot in a kimono against the backdrop of torii gates? Just, if you try to imagine..." - "Yo. Hmm... You know, I think I saw some kids behind that tree who have been staring at you for a long time. They probably love animals. Or they're trying to find some secret way to get inside. I'd recommend you keep an eye out – the last thing you need is for them to spend all their parents' stolen money on vending machines and get into debt. Listen... Don't laugh. Do you think I could be a model in my early twenties? I couldn't wear what you wear... No offense, it's just... not really my style. But what if it was something in my style?" - "Bors-san, Kayasa-kocho, konnichiwa. I need your advice, as experienced people who have lived in the Empire for a long time. I've been approached a couple of times to be recruited for a certain activity... it's pretty silly, to be honest... In [48], to be exact. From what I saw there, some of the girls look quite risky – that's definitely not for me. But they said that there could also be an individual approach, that is, without any perversion... Do you think they're lying? Are there any hidden pitfalls that you might know about?" - "Listen... You once said that I was a six out of ten. Yes, yes, I remember that it was in the moment and all that. But imagine that one day you walk into Grace and see me on the cover. Ha-ha, yeah, it sounds unbelievable, but just imagine – as a thought experiment. What would you think at that moment? I think it's a sensitive question... So, I can't not ask you."
