"What a wonderful work! Why don't the two of them like it?"
Elysia puffed out her cheeks, looking thoroughly unconvinced.
"Kosma said..."
Griseo imitated Kosma. One moment she covered her right eye, the next she stroked her left arm, then she fiddled with her hands like a Kamen Rider transforming:
"Ye Ming is the hero I admire. He shouldn't be drawn like this."
"Wait... Kosma made all those strange gestures just to say one short sentence?"
Elysia was a little confused.
"Actually, Kosma did those gestures secretly when he was alone. When I went over, he stopped."
Griseo frankly exposed the embarrassing secret that would make Kosma want to die of shame.
"What about Kalpas?" Eden asked.
"Heh heh, Ye Ming! The moment I saw him tear into fate, I knew he was one of my kind!"
Griseo imitated Kalpas's fierce expression, but her sweet voice and delicate presence gave her none of his imposing aura. She only looked incredibly adorable.
"How could such an interesting madman appear in some love story?!"
Hearing Kalpas's assessment of Ye Ming, Eden asked with a puzzled expression:
"So... does Kalpas admire Ye Ming, or does he want to fight him?"
"For Kalpas, admiration and fighting probably aren't mutually exclusive."
"That's true."
Elysia walked over to Griseo and comforted her softly:
"Don't pay their opinions too much mind. Kalpas and Kosma—especially Kosma—definitely won't dislike you over this."
"I know. Everyone takes good care of me, it's just... I haven't had much inspiration lately, so my progress has been slow."
"Then... do you want to meet Ye Ming in person?"
"Huh?"
Griseo was startled.
"Ye Ming... is a real person?"
"Of course~~ And Eden and I are going to meet him tomorrow. We can bring Griseo along too~~"
"I'll go back and prepare right away!"
