Guda:

1) ...Eh?
2) Where's this?

Chloe:
Alright, next person!

Customer:
Give me a copy! One copy of the new book!

Chloe:
That'll be 50 Arpounds! Thank you very much!

Guda:
1) I see, this is...
2) Right in the middle of Servafes!

Chloe:
Come now Master! Don't just stand there! You'll hold up the flow of customers!
What a popular circle requires isn't courteous reception but a speedy customer
turnaround.
The key to attaining the best customer service is to reduce the customer waiting
time by even a single second!

Guda:
Yes, Sensei!

Chloe:
You're the sensei here. I'm just an assistant.... this is your book after all.
Alright, next... ah, make two lines! Please line up in a double row!

Customer:
Two copies please!

Chloe:
Sorry! Because of stock limitations it's one copy per person!

Customer who isn't listening:

Ohhh, five copies, wrap that up for me!

Customer who's getting excited:

Then I'll take 10... no, 30 copies!

Scalper:
I have the money! Gimme the whole box!

Chloe:
I SAID IT'S LIMITED TO ONE COPY!!

***

Chloe:
Sold out! It's all sold out!
"Master x Editor: Healthy Night Meeting ~Let's Netadashi~" has finished selling
out!

Guda:
1) That was the title!?
2) I don't remember drawing this...
Chloe:
Thank you very much!
Huuh... we managed to get through it somehow.
It's amazing that we sold out before noon. Maybe we can increase the number of
copies next time.

Guda:
1) When's that next time...?
2) My head's spinning...

Chloe:
Oh, got to make sure you stay hydrated! Be careful not to get heatstroke!

Guda:
1) Cold water!
2) Thanks.

Chloe:
Well then, I'll stop here for now.
I need to go around greeting the other artists, so I'll take my leave here.
Before you finish packing up to go, complete that sketchbooks that you were asked
to do!

Guda:
But that's more than 20 copies...

Chloe:
That just shows how popular you are. Draw it as fast as you can with the utmost
gratitude.
Well then, see ya~

Guda:
She left...
Well, guess I'll start drawing like she said.

???:
(sneaking)

Guda:
...Hm?

???:
(fidgeting)

Guda:
Someone dodgy is looking this way.
Staff! There's a suspicious person here!

???:
No, wait! I'm not suspicious!
Um, ahem... my apologies.
I am just a fan passing by.

Fan:
I thought to pay my regards to the sensei that I respect, but I suppose I got too
nervous. Hahaha.
Guda:
You look familiar somehow...
Have I met you somewhere?

Fan:
It's our first meeting though?
Oh, and that... was that a pickup line?
Hahaha, that will not do, sensei. Even as a joke, you should not do that to fans.
(...did I make a mistake creating this character? Talking like this is real
difficult...)

Guda:
You really do seem familiar...
Did we meet just now?

Fan:
THIS IS TOTALLY OUR FIRST MEETING THOUGH?
Ahem. No, that is irrelevant.
I just wanted to hand over a little gift.
It is not my intention to take up your limited time while you are so busy. So...
Please take this.

Guda:
This is, chocolate...
...and a letter?

Fan:
It might be a bother to you.
But no matter what... as a fan I wanted to convey my gratitude to you.
It's a bit embarrassing so you can read the letter later...

Guda:
Hm, let's see...?
"Dear Sir Guda"

Fan:
I said to read it afterwards!!

Guda:
I know that voice!
You're the one who helped me sell the books just now!?

Fan?:
I SWEAR ON ALL THE GODS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH THAT THIS IS OUR FIRST MEETING THOUGH!?

Hah... hah...
Well, that's. It's that.
This might be hard to understand for creators.
It's a bit scary for us normal people to simply say that we like something that we
like.
The more we like something, the more we want to keep it close to our hearts... so
that it doesn't get hurt.
Ah, no, that's not it. That's not what I wanted to say...
Oh, jeez, what a pain in the ass!
In other words, you have lots of fans!
Even if they can't say it in words or express it in their attitude, there's a lot
of people rooting for you from the shadows!
Guda:
My head is spinning...

Fan?:
You should draw just as you want!
No matter what ending you arrive at, we'll watch over you as fans.

Guda:
You're...

Fan?:
Ah, but paying too much heed to only some of the fans might be a detriment to the
work, so I suppose half of what I just said could be...

Guda:
1) Chloe!
2) Editor!

***

Guda:
...Seems like I had a weird dream.
...?
There's something on my pillow.
....Hm.
For the sake of the passing by fan
I'll continue to work hard!

A Gift from a Fan

A Valentine's Day chocolate from Chloe von Einzbern (Avenger).

...Probably.

The cold water feels good on the flushed body.

Perhaps it is out of consideration for hydration.
There is a saltiness in the chocolate.
It's a gentle way of heatstroke prevention.
Well, this isn't the season for sweating, though.

The attached letter should be secretly read later.

It will definitely become your strength.
But do not, even by mistake, tell the letter's author what you thought of it.
