🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- He-he, then I'll call you Gen-chan, even though I don't fully understand what it means, but it sounds really nice. It's just that formality doesn't quite fit with it. How about I address you informally? Maybe it's a little disrespectful to a valued customer, but still!

- I'm all for it! It would be fair after I myself switched to the informal "you" after learning your name. Formality is formality, but human connection is what matters. Reducing the officiousness is also a kind of respect for the customer, if the situation calls for it, isn't it? Especially not from just anyone, but from a lovely, cheerful, and attractive girl, one look at whom makes all problems fade into the background. I would even say that it's unexpected, if the regulations don't allow it. Or maybe too stuffy people visit you, who knows, it's possible.

- Thank you for the compliment! Oh, com-pli-ment! You know, it makes me very happy and gives me hope, because sometimes visitors have tantrums about how my work "didn't meet their expectations." Yes, my lines aren't the neatest, but in art, the most important thing is emotions, right?
Bertora sat down on the sofa and invited Genza to lie down on her lap.

- Of course, I recently convinced a friend of the same thing. The most important thing is the emotion, - Genza lies down as requested. - And the skill will come sooner or later, that's a secondary matter. He, you know, was trying to draw his beloved, and he got a little depressed because she didn't turn out perfectly. And I said, "Dude, just relax, you understand your own feelings, so what difference does it make if you didn't succeed this time? You'll succeed next time. And if you don't, well, try harder, and if it really doesn't work out, just give her flowers and be done with it. Even what you sketched, not being a professional, she will appreciate it." I think that's what I said to him, or at least thought.
