(Okay, that should do it...
I've gotten this much done, so...)

Yukihira

You have five minutes.
5

Ena

Listen

(Good...
I just have to do one last check and make some minor adjustments.)
6

Ena

Listen

(I made sure to fix the things that Mr. Yukihira pointed out last time, so this one should be...)

Yukihira

Time's up.
Pencils down.

Yukihira

Let's have a look at what you've drawn.
First, Shinonome.
9

Ena

Listen

Yes, here...!
10

Yukihira

Hmm...
11

Yukihira

This texture is nice...
So is the layout.
12

Ena

Listen

...!
13

Yukihira

However, your vanishing point leaves much to be desired...
14

Yukihira

Also, the line you used for where the floor meets your motif is far too black. Please try to be more observant and think about how to better illustrate such elements next time.
15

Ena

Listen

I understand...
16

Ena

Listen

(He's always such a harsh critic...)
17

Ena

Listen

(But he's also right...
I have to find a way to build off his criticism.)
18

Yukihira

Lastly, your most crucial mistake...
19

Yukihira

This drawing is unappealing as a whole.

Futaba

Listen

Ena...
Are you still bothered by what Mr. Yukihira said today?
22

Ena

Listen

Y-Yeah...
I have no problem with technical comments since that's stuff I can fix.
23

Ena

Listen

But what did he mean by “unappealing”...?
24

Futaba

Listen

...
25

Futaba

Listen

I think he meant that what you drew today was missing something. Like a spark of life...
26

Futaba

Listen

How do I say this...? Usually, Ena, your art seems to say, “Look at me!”
But today, that seemed to be missing...
27

Ena

Listen

Hmm... Does that mean my layout wasn't that good? But he specifically praised me for that...
28

Children

Bye bye!
See you next time!
29

Ena

Listen

Oh, isn't that the beginner art class?
It opened up just recently, right...?
30

Futaba

Listen

Yes.
Children seem to really love it because of how nice and cheerful the teacher is.
31

Ena

Listen

Really...?
That's like the complete opposite of our class.
32

Child

Hey, can I see what you drew today?!
33

Child

Sure! Let's show each other on the count of three!
34

Futaba

Listen

It looks like they had fun.
35

Ena

Listen

Yeah.
Again, unlike certain other people who have to desperately hard to get a good sketch out...
36

Ena

Listen

Huh...?
37

Ena

Listen

Hey, Futaba, wasn't that girl standing in front of the classroom last week?
38

Futaba

Listen

Oh, maybe...
I remember her having this concerned expression on her face the last time I saw her.
39

Futaba

Listen

Do you think she's interested in attending the art classes here?

She seems unsure about actually going in...

Ena

(To be fair, drawing does take a lot out of you...)

Yes, let's! I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's like to be a kindergarten teacher.
52

Emu

Listen

Me too!
We're gonna get to do so many wonderhoy things together♪
53

Teacher

Oh, Mochizuki, Otori, do you both have a minute?
54

Honami

Listen

Yes, of course.
55

Teacher

I just received word from the kindergarten you'll be going to, and it turns out that they're going to be painting one of the walls. Their goal is to make it zoo-like by having various animals and such on it.
56

Teacher

In other words, they'd like to have both of you to teach the children how to paint.
57

Emu

Listen

Wow! That sounds super fun!
Honami, we get to paint a zoo!

Honami?

Wh-Wh-What do I do...?!

Honami

Listen

(I was hoping that attending an art class would help me with my problem...)

Honami

(But if I turn out to be worse than a three-year-old... I'll probably end up becoming a laughing stock...)

Honami

(What am I going to do about painting for that kindergarten? The children are probably going to be so disappointed if I don't draw something good for them...)

Ms. Mochizuki?

Eep!
Oh, Ms. Yoisaki, it's you... I thought you were still working...
