>Please take my remaining power!

>Ehehe, that's cold, Hotarun!

>Ah.

>This is no good.

>Alright!

p101

>!

>Does she work here!? Woah~ I'm getting nervous~!

>G-Go ahead.

>Let's see... where's the entrance?

>Excuse me, do you know where I can find the entrance for Eagle Jump...?

>Over...there...
>Ah, you're right! Thank you!
>It says "reception" too!

p102
>...

>Ah, so this is what a workplace is like...!

>Please take a seat and wait a moment.
>Thank you.

>...

>I'm Suzukaze Aoba! Please take care of me today!
>??

p103
>A student...? Oh, you're here for an interview, right?
>I just came here to have a late lunch so don't mind me.

>Heh? Ah, sorry...

>Wow, how embarrassing. But she certainly seems rougher compared to that other woman.
>I guess people at a games company aren't all neat and tidy~

>What is it?
>You're staring at me.
>No, it's nothing!

>Good work. You're having lunch now?
>Yup. It's pretty tough.

>The graphics team are running a little behind but, are we gonna be alright for the alpha?
>We gotta do it anyway, don't we? We're not gonna have any breaks for a while.

>N-No breaks!?

>Pretty lousy company, huh? Fufu
>Eeh... Ah, no! How should I put it? Uuh~~~

p104
>You here for an interview today?
>Y-Yes, that's right.

>Even so, it's pretty late for an interview. It's already February.
>Have you had any other offers?

>No, this place... this company is the only one I want to apply for. I have been taking exams for an

arts college, though...
>Eh? You're a high schooler!?

>Ah, I guess this suit does make me look more mature!
>No, I thought you were in middle school...

>Oh yeah, it's exam season right about now, isn't it?
>Since you've been taking at the art college exams, why did you apply here?

>Well, erm, I was aiming for this company to begin with...
>I figured I may as well take this chance...
>So this is your first choice then?

>...
>You've come this far. Get your act together and tell them your feelings clearly...!

>That's right. This company is my number one choice!

p105
>I-I've admired Fairies Story's character designer, Yagami Ko-san, since elementary school.
>It's what made me want to work at a games company.

>...Oh, Yagami?
>What do you like about her?

>At first, I simply loved Yagami-san's illustrations and designs
>But recently I found out Yagami-san was a high school graduate just like me
>And she worked on an opus right after joining. I was amazed.

>At first I thought "Ah, she must be a genius"...
>...

>It was then that my really talented friend who was aiming for the same art college got mad at me.
>She was angry because I said she was just talented, even though she worked really hard.

>Ah, of course I think having talent is important.
>I wasn't sure if I had that.

>If I stay like that, I wouldn't have made this decision.
>It was scary and embarrassing, and I needed the support of my friends... But I had to want to change

myself...
>I thought it was amazing that Yagami-san was able to make that kind of decision when she was my age.

>That's why I want to keep moving on the path to the goal I seek.
>It may be slow, but I want to keep moving forward!

p106
>Well then, you've certainly conveyed your feelings of wanting to try hard.
>Um, what was it like for Yagami-san?

>Hmm, I wonder. You'd have to ask her yourself.
>Eh?

>I'm not sure but... I guess you can call the ability to keep moving forward a "talent"...
>That's what I think at least

>Yes!

>Well if you want to ask her in person, you better give it your all in the interview.
>Ah! That's right! This wasn't the actual interview.

>I only saw her in that interview photo, but she looked really cute!

>Fufu, certainly. But she had to try really hard for that photo.
>She's a big different normally.
>Heh...

>She must be really photogenic, then!
>Hahaha
>cough cough

p107
>A-Are you alright?
>I wonder what is up with her?

>Suzukaze-san, we're ready for your interview. This way, please.
>Y-Yes!

>U-Um, I feel a little less nervous now!

>Good luck with your interview~
>Thank you so much!

>Which is the right choice, I wonder...? A high school graduate or a college graduate?
>Who knows... it's pretty much an opinion based on hindsight.

>And hey, you shouldn't go gossiping about people during an interview. Seriously.

>That wasn't an interview. I really was just gossiping.
>Well, [I can keep that to myself if you'd like]

>Is that why you went out of your way to wear contacts?
>You were in disguise too, Yagami-san.
>Don't lump me in with you, please.

p108
>Hah, that uneasy feeling in my stomach has gone down.
>It'd be nice if the interview goes well like with those two just now~

>Come in.
>Excuse me!

>grumble

p109
>Excuse me...

>...
>Why...

>Why did my stomach have to growl now of all times...

>Agh, I'm so stupid! I definitely failed~!!
