You've been drawing Miku?

Yeah. We were assigned a project for art class, and the theme is “radiance”.

When I thought about what that word means, Miku immediately came to mind...

Haha. That totally sounds like you, Ichi!

And I'm right here.

I really don't know how I'm supposed to react.

S-Sorry.

No, don't apologize.

I'm really happy that I immediately came to mind for you, Ichika.

Okay, that's good to hear...

Still, Ichika, I'm looking forward to seeing how your drawing of Miku turns out.

Yeah, me too!

Oh, but... I still haven't decided how I'm going to draw her yet.

Really?

Yeah, which probably has to do with me not drawing on a regular basis.

No matter how many times I try, I can't seem to draw Miku the way I want.

Right... Oh, I know!

Why don't you try drawing her right now?

Huh?

I've gotta think that you're gonna have an easier time drawing Miku-P if she's right in front of you!

Actually, you might be right...

I'll model for you if you like.

Thanks, Miku.

But I feel bad since standing still for a long period of time is probably going to be really boring...

Then, why don't you two draw each other? That should make things more fun for you, Miku.

That does sound like fun. What do you say, Ichika?

Okay. If you don't mind, Miku, then let's give it a try.

Oh, Len!

We should also draw each other.

I had a feeling you'd say that.

And hey, it will be more fun than just watching them.

Hehe. This is starting to feel like an art class.

How is your drawing coming along? Good...?

Yeah, this is much easier compared to when I was only referring to illustrations.

I see. That's good to hear.

But...

It really is hard to make a good drawing.

I'm sorry, Miku...

I still haven't been able to capture your radiance well.

Oh, Ichi!

What do you think it is that makes Miku-P so radiant?

Yeah, I also wanna know.

So, saying this in front of her is a little embarrassing...

But I believe that she's radiant in multiple different ways.

The serious expression she makes while singing, the way she gives us advice and shows just how reliable a senior she is...

Also, I feel this sense of relief whenever I see her having fun listening to us play...

O-Oh, I see...

That's amazing, Ichi!

You pay so much attention to Miku-P!

In other words, all of Miku's best qualities are what you believe make her so radiant?

*Nod*

I actually feel like you don't have to think so hard while drawing me...

Huh?

Because you already seem to have a good understanding of what makes me so radiant in your eyes, Ichika.

I have a feeling that you'll be able to capture that just fine by drawing the way you want.

Miku...

Okay, now I feel like I'll be able to draw something I'm happy with...

That's good to hear.

Oh, but...

I still want it to look good, so would you mind bearing with me for a little bit longer...?

Hehe. Then, I'll stay for as long as you like.
