Chapter 1

(The hospitality work from the other day… sure enough, moving the flower word art to a later date was no good. I’d like to keep hold of the tourists we can reliably draw in.)

…We’ll have to increase the number of flower word art instructors, I suppose.

(It would be nice if there were some promising personnel somewhere…)

Boss.

If you are looking for someone who has the talent to teach flower word art—how about the Day Team’s Kinugawa Kiroku?

Kinugawa?

I have obtained one of his drawings. Here.

…Not bad.

Apologies for the abrupt call.

Ah, no, um…

Wh… why, do you, need… m-me, Lu-san?

I won’t beat around the bush. Are you interested in teaching flower word art?

…Flower, word… art…?

I hear you specialise in analogue art. Based on your skilled handling of the materials, I want to hire you as a flower word art instructor.

(Did Lu-san just, compliment me…?)

Um… thank, you very, much…

I do… enjoy, drawing… but… I’ve never… done, flower word art… before.

…Ah… but, it might be nice, to try?

Giving it a go yourself is the quickest way, then. Let’s get going.

…Huh? G-going… to… where?

You’ll understand once we get there. Sojun.

Right away.

!?

(Where was he…)

Don’t be so panicked. Just stay calm and we’ll arrive soon.

(This is, kidnapping…! Where are they taking me…!?)
