Photographs

[pikapikapikarin]

So, mother and I went and got some pictures done since it was summer and she felt like taking photographs for her work with Fairy Drop. I'm uploading some of them now.

Me at the beach

Me with my hair teased straight

Me and a fancy tea outfit

Me and a bridal dress. The last one I was kind of worried since they were making a fashion line but hey...

It's not every day I get to model. I think I did a good job.

Those are all very nice pictures. I'd never really thought about what your hair would look like the way it does in the second picture, but it's a nice look on you.

Ah, but... Your mother works for Fairy Drop?

[pikapikapikarin]

Yeah, my hair naturally curls so we took a straightening iron to it. I'm glad it looks nice, even if I look incredibly embarrassed in that picture...

Hmm? Yeah she does. She's a promoter for the store, and their fashion lines as a coordinator for big events like fashion shows.

[fightbymoonlight]

You do look a bit flustered. Were you a little camera shy?

Huh... I had no idea. I wonder if Erika does...

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah, just a little. I'm not really used to getting my photograph taken, even for a magazine.

Maybe? Doesn't her family run the Fairy Drop?

[fightbymoonlight]

That makes sense. I've been dragged into some photographs before by Momoka, so I know the feeling.

Yes, that's right. I've visited the store a lot. It's right next to Tsubomi's house, if I'm not mistaken.

[pikapikapikarin]

The pitfalls of having friends and family who are fashion orientated I guess.

Oh? I'll need to visit later then!

[fightbymoonlight]

Indeed. And now I'm stuck with Erika as well as Momoka. It's a little dangerous.

I'm sure Erika and Tsubomi will be very happy to see you there.

[pikapikapikarin]

What I've seen of Erika, she's very forceful at times. I'd imagine her sister would be the same way.

Yeah, I'll swing by later. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[fightbymoonlight]

In some ways. She's a lot calmer, but... Well, let's just say that it can be hard to say no to her.

Hm, alright then. I should warn you, there's a good chance you'll meet one or both of Erika's parents and they're, ah... just as interesting as Erika herself. Just so you know ahead of time.

[pikapikapikarin]

Well they are siblings so I guess that's right.

Oh okay. I'll be sure to mention mama to them in case they haven't met yet.

[fightbymoonlight]

Outwardly they can seem pretty different, but I've known Momoka long enough to spot the similarities.

That might be a good idea. I doubt it will hurt, in any case.

[pikapikapikarin]

Good friends and all that, I guess.

Yeah definitely. I'll keep it in mind.

[hisownpath]

No way... I didn't know your hair could get longer!

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah, well it's actually that long to begin with. It's just curled up in ribbons and such. Does it look okay?

[hisownpath]

Yeah! It looks really nice. The wedding dress is super cute too.

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah, you really think so? That's great actually! I'm really glad it looks all right.

[hisownpath]

I didn't know your mom was into fashion and stuff like that.

[pikapikapikarin]

Mom is a coordinator for fashion shows. She actually works for Fairy Drop actually. Sometimes she takes me on the fashion shoots and I get to model just a little.

[hisownpath]

Oh, that has to be fun. Isn't it kinda awkward standing in front of so many people, though?

[pikapikapikarin]

Well, initially I had a lot of stage fright. I couldn't get in front of a camera without being scared. But after experiencing my life as it turned out, I think I'm prepared for a little stage fright.

[hisownpath]

Heh~ That's a good mindset to have! I had to stand in front of an audience too for the Saint Fight. It was a little intimidating at first, but I got used to it.

[pikapikapikarin]

Yeah. It still intimidates me, but as long as mama is the one behind the lens I don't freeze up as much.

[fashionistacure]

Woooooooooow, look at you, Yayoi!

[ . . . . ]

Wait a minute, your mom works for Fairy Drop?! Really?

[pikapikapikarin]

I really pulled it off, I'm really happy about that!

[She nods as well.]

Yeah, she's a coordinator for fashion shows.

[fashionistacure]

Hoooo, that's awesome. Your mom's part of the best fashion franchise ever!

[ Just another day and Erika tooting the horn of those close to her. ]

[pikapikapikarin]

Hehehe it is pretty nice! These designs were made by the staff after all.

[Who knows, Erika, you may have made some of those outfits Yayoi wore!]

[fashionistacure]

Well, the Fairy Drop is pretty up to date on the latest fashions.

[ THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NO DOUBT. But still, that's pretty awesome that Yayoi's mom works for the family business. What a small world this series is! ]

I recognized Mama's work once I saw past how good you looked!

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah heh, really? I looked incredibly good for that? That's flattering really!

[She's blushing now, just completely red with praise.]

[fashionistacure]

I call 'em like a see 'em! Do I look like the type that'd lie?

[ ACTUALLY YES, SHE DOES. ]

[pikapikapikarin]

Hehe no, not really! [Even though she's a bit naive.]

[fashionistacure]

[ You'll learn, Yayoi. You'll learn. ]

So, that means you've got lots of stuff from Fairy Drop since your mom works for us, right? Is there something that's your favorite?

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah, well I like my yellow jumper the most. I wear that often since it matches my hair and headband.

[fashionistacure]

.... so you're saying you dress like a yellow human ball all the time?

[ OH FUCK. ERIKA'S FASHION COORDINATION SENSES ARE SCREAMING. ]

[pikapikapikarin]

Well I like yellow and orange and those bright colors a lot... [Uh oh, what did she do?]

[fashionistacure]

A favorite color is nice, but you have to change it up from day to day!

[pikapikapikarin]

Well it's just that I have a lot of orange in my outfits but hmm... maybe? What do you recommend?

[fashionistacure]

You can wear like a nice white shirt, with a cute patterned skirt with... hm, maybe a light green pattern!

[ OH GOD SHE'S STARTING TO GO FASHION TECHNICAL. ]

If you want to keep some yellow in your outfit, then use accessories with both green and yellow in it so that they work together!

[pikapikapikarin]

Green and yellow? That's not too bad. Nao wears a ribbon after all in yellow sometimes so that might be a thing...

Want to help me mix it up a little more?

[fashionistacure]

You don't even have to ask! I'd be happy to help out!

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah okay! It should be fun then!
