"But being able to roll whatever number you want—isn't that the reward of hard work?" Yukino Yukinoshita retorted. "In any case, hard work never betrays you."
"Yet I could already roll whatever number I wanted the moment I got hold of the dice." Sogo Doma looked helpless. "If that counts as hard work, then hard work is really easy..."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
So what exactly was someone like Doma? Unlucky, or ridiculously gifted? Still...
"But drawing isn't the same as rolling dice, right? As long as Sawamura keeps at it, I believe she'll definitely improve..."
Eriri Sawamura wanted to nod. See? Yukinoshita-senpai understood her after all!
"That's right, drawing doesn't rely on luck..."
"So, Sawamura, are you willing to put in the effort?" Utaha Kasumigaoka asked.
Little Golden Retriever: "..."
Huh!?
Had she fallen into a trap?
"To be honest, I'm a fan of Kashiwagi Eri too..." Utaha Kasumigaoka added. "If your drawing skills improve again, then the books you draw will definitely become even more interesting."
Eriri Sawamura: "..."
Wait!? Was she really going to have to practice every day?
"You'd better not get your hopes up too high..." Just as Eriri looked like she was questioning her life, Sogo Doma spoke from the side. "What if Eriri's drawing skills are like my dice rolls? As long as I don't control it myself, no matter how I roll, I can never beat anyone else...
"If Eriri is like me, then doesn't that mean that no matter how much she practices, her drawing skills can never improve?"
"Damn it, Sogo, are you looking down on me?" Eriri took the bait as expected. "There can only be one person in this world as unlucky as you! If I want to improve my drawing skills, wouldn't that take no time at all?"
