<Anyway, I'm going to log off now...>
<Okay. I'll take a look at the lyrics you wrote later.>
<Sleep tight.>
<K, mind looking at my rough draft as well?>
<Sure.>
<Mhm... I might log off too...
This seems like a good place for me to stop.>
<Oh, Enanan, before you do...>
<Ms. Mochizuki came over to my house yesterday and wanted to thank you for what you did during her job shadowing.>
<She also seems to be really looking forward to you teaching her how to sketch next time.>
<Really? That's great!>
<Oh, you mean the housekeeper that you agreed to teach because she was having trouble drawing?>
<Yeah. She wanted someone to help build up her confidence before she painted with kindergarteners during her shadowing.>
<So, I taught her a few tricks for drawing animals, and she got to the point of making them easily recognizable.>
<Oh, really?>
<Hm? You sound surprised...>
<Hang on. Does this Mochizuki person draw stuff in a way that makes her look like an abstract artist?>
<Yeah, kinda...>
<She was pretty conscious of that and wanted to learn how to draw things in a way that was easily recognizable to others. But...>
<But...?>
<It's like the better she got, the more her individuality began to disappear.>
<And I began to worry if I'd done the right thing, even though I helped her achieve her goal.>
<I see...>
<So, I asked Honami to draw like she normally does.>
<Yes, she mentioned that to me.
And it seems to have helped quite a bit.>
<Yeah...>
<In the end, Honami probably just needed to find a way to enjoy art more than learning how to draw per se.>
<Interesting...>
<Sounds like you really did your best as a teacher, Enanan.>
<I never play around when it comes to art if that's what you're implying.>
<Yeah, I know.>
<Huh? Then don't say stuff like that.>
<No, I was really moved by what you did♪>
<Is that actually true...?>
<...>
<Once more, Enanan, thank you for agreeing to help Ms. Mochizuki.>
<Especially since I haven't been able to give back to her despite her taking such good care of me.>
<But you helped me help her.
So, thank you.>
<...!>
<Hehe. You're very welcome.>
<I'm glad that I could help you out somehow, K. And I'll always be willing to lend you a hand. It doesn't have to be just about art!>
<Something other than art? Such as...?>
<Huh? Um... F-Fashion, makeup and the latest trends...!>
<Oh, that could be helpful...
I really don't know much about those things.>
<My sweats are usually enough for me, but I may need your help when it comes to actual clothes...>
<Sure thing, K!
I'll always be happy to teach you whatever you need to know!>
<Haha. Good for you, Enanan.>
...
<Sorry for keeping you like this, Enanan. You're free to go if you're done for the day.>
<Oh, about that...!
If you don't mind, I'd like to wait until you finish checking my rough drafts.>
<What? Okay, but... Are you sure?>
<Yeah, because working on the illustrations for other scenes while I wait will be a better use of my time.>
<Okay. Then, I'll take a look at it right now.>
<Thanks!>
(My initial hope was to have her teach Ms. Mochizuki how to draw, but...)
<Since you're all fired up and good to go, Enanan, can I ask you to make a couple more assets for me?>
<What are you piling on for?
It's gonna depend on what you actually want, so give it to me straight...>
<Awesome! You're the best, Ms. Enanan!>
<Hey, I haven't actually agreed to anything yet!>
Hehe...
(This also ended up being a good experience for Ena. I'm really glad for her.)
