—Well, that's great! 😊 —Nira smiled. —As for the news from last weekend: thanks to our incomparable Cass and Bell, we have thirteen participants from the academy, as well as some impressively worthy prizes for the winners! By the way, about them: what do you think, should we distribute the rewards among the prize-winning places, guys?

— We could keep all the valuable stuff for ourselves and make the prizes something cheaper... —Shira waved off her friends and Elliot. —Just kidding, I'm just kidding. We're not really dealing with politics here.
— I think, —says Bella, —it's better to wait for a decision from the Starling duo... Maybe they won't like something there, or maybe they'll have new suggestions.

"I'll probably pass..."
—Oh, well, thanks then. When should I come next time?

— Next week.

The first place to visit is the old, reliable "hopeless" place.

— Oh, Futya, —Yumiko rejoiced and hugged her only friend tightly, —hi!

Shibari Club
President: Miho Kallistemon
Members: Alidum Sirabe, Iva Sextillion, Michaella Godwell.
Effect: +2 to attack or dodge for two characters once a month.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to make the obvious joke that this is the best club for bonding. Ha-ha, get it? Because there...

- Hello, hello... "Beautiful child," - Futya gently pats her on the back. - So, how are things? Has your father settled in? How's business?

— Yeah, it's alright, like always. How's your studies going, and what else are you up to? Anything new? Summer is the time for experiments.

- Well, I experimented a lot over the summer, and now I have to deal with the consequences... There's just a lot to do. I spend days in the office like an owl, stamping documents – I don't even read them. We recently went to the beach for physical education, played volleyball, and swam... At least I got some exercise. Otherwise, everything is fine.
The former maid, taking a short break, walked past the shop windows, looked at the familiar assortment, and then got down to business.
- I have a proposal for you. We're planning a small event in the next few days. It's a beauty contest with the participation of my classmates. People from the city are expected to attend as spectators, and afterwards, we'll release a magazine featuring these beauties. There's an opportunity to include your advertisement in it and increase publicity, and we'll also display your logo at the event. Of course, it won't be free. I think we can present it as a kind of "Alma's Beauties," with elements of promotion for our school, local businesses, and the town itself. What do you think?

What do you think?

— This is a simply wonderful idea! — a voice belonging to Evgeny Stalinovich echoed from somewhere in the back room.

“Oh, that’s cool.” Yumiko runs her hand through Futaba’s hair. “Are you participating?”

- I won't. My involvement would create too many complications.

— What a pity... You could have delighted both yourself and the audience with your beauty, and at the same time promoted Futaba. Hmm... Are you well acquainted with your director?

- Over the past couple of months, she's become like family to me, haha... Wouldn't you like to suggest she advertise Futaba?

– Oh, no, nothing like that. It’s just that her dad is a big fan, and I thought it would be cool if they met. Can you arrange it? Just don’t tell him, because last time I brought it up, he didn’t want to, either he was embarrassed or something, who knows what goes on in adults’ heads. And in return… Well, I don’t know, how about making a few figurines of your contestants? We can promote the product in advance, and then sell them on the day of the contest, which will give visitors more incentive to come and see you. But we’ll need to take a look at them, the contestants, before we start working on it.

- Interesting idea. Indeed, this would increase recognition in both directions. It's like a limited, one-time collaboration for enthusiasts. Yes, it sounds good. I'll talk to the girls; I'm not sure they'll all agree, but I think some of them will. As for the director, it's not a difficult matter. Both you and she will be present at this event; the rest are just details.

– Alright, deal.

—Excellent question, El. We could implement a mixed voting system, like I saw at one of the other Competitive events. Academy student votes from 1 to 10, plus guest votes, say, at half the effectiveness. Then we'll leave the key decision to our colleagues, but also give visitors an additional incentive to influence the final result. 😇

Gideon nodded approvingly.

He thought that if he were to vote as well, he would have to evaluate his own photos, which wasn't required in photography classes. But ideally, he should try to take good pictures of all the participants. Of course, this is a beauty contest, but to properly highlight it, you need high-quality shots, and this affects the success of the event. Well, since he studied the relevant material and already had a little practice, everything should go well. In such a bright and friendly company, he was almost not afraid, and the opportunity to demonstrate his skills and knowledge to support an initiative related to the use of technology and potentially very profitable was tempting and inspiring. His disappointing performance during the beach Competitive with the cursed demon constantly hindering him seemed to fade into the background, and now the young man could focus on the upcoming event. It was a good thing that Nira was among the organizers; without her, he might not have agreed to participate.

—Well, that's great! 😊 —Nira smiled. —As for the news from the last weekend: thanks to our incomparable Cass and Bell, we have thirteen participants from the academy, as well as outrageously worthy prizes for the winners! By the way, about them: what do you think, should we distribute the prizes among the winning places, guys?

— We can distribute them based on the value of the items, although it's not entirely clear how to evaluate a weapon order. There are three planned prizes, right? A set of clothes, a weapon, and an upgrade. So, as an option, the first and second place winners can take turns choosing what they like best, and the third-place winner takes what's left. Well, based on the principle of decreasing value. And also, if other stores agree to sponsor, maybe the choice of prizes will expand, let's see.

oh, about swimming and accuracy

Futaba pats Yumiko on the head with both hands.
- Okay, I'll go now, I still have a lot to do. I'll stop by later.
After saying goodbye to her friend, she goes to see Ira.
