Hey, Haruka!

Are you out shopping today?

Yes, I'm here to look for some new training shoes. I really liked how my old ones were designed, so I'm hoping to find something similar.

Oh, those are so cute!

The blue lines and laces suit you so well too!

Thank you. Then, I think I'll go with these. Let's see... Eight pairs should do it.

What?! Y-You really need that many?

Yes. I'll use some for running and others for dancing, but I usually wear them out within a month.

Which is why I usually try to buy up many as I can if I really like how they're designed.

I see... I guess knowing that your favorite shoes are on your feet would be a good source of motivation!

(Still, I can't believe that each pair won't last even a month...)

(That's a former A-list idol for you...!

Her training regimen must be absolutely grueling.)
