─Thing is, I suck at chase scenes so I kept getting caught over and over again and I started to get pissed off because, “Why are the damn boxes blocking my way?!” You feel me?

─But then I got even more annoyed because I seemingly got worse after every try and I had no idea why! Maybe it’s because my fingers started to lock or I was just stupid, turns out, I actually was stupid because all I had to do was keep my character near the staircase’s handrail then BOOM! Everything was so much easier like, I can’t believe I spent ten minutes of my life struggling over a chase scene that was literally not that hard to begin with.

I had to seriously pause the game and take a walk before I continued playing, I swear…

─And then when I came back, I was so~ready for another annoying boss fight but, since I was playing the second time, I got to see a new perspective because that’s how the game works in the first place, right?

─So, in the first playthrough, I killed the miniboss, no problem, but in this one there was a ton of new dialogue and, turns out, the miniboss was actually fighting us because they wanted to protect their children!

I started to cry so hard, I couldn’t see my screen!

Once you get fitted into the outfit, the hair stylists will come and work on your hair.

Would it be possible to have some minor adjustments to the makeup once the stylists are done?

I believe that the colour of the eyeshadow should be more subtle to avoid unnecessary distractions from the outfit.

It’d also help give a sense of maturity and elegance which would tie well into the overall concept of the collection compared to the more bolder approach this colour gives.

Hmm… You make a fair point.

No worries then, we’ll discuss it with the photographer and let the stylists know to call us back once they’re finished.

Of course! If they didn’t, I would’ve told them off.

As if I’d let them run around and ruin this opportunity for us.

They should be grateful they got to work with us to begin with, given how busy Knights has been lately.

Ehe~ Yeah you’re right. It was a bit tricky fitting them into your schedules but I’m glad I was able to make some room~

I feel like this would be a great opportunity for the unit, especially for any possible overseas collabs in the future.

You never know, maybe someone would scout you for some more modeling gigs after this, right~?
