[The victory against Masaomi, the hard training from Green, and Green's question about power... It's got her thinking. Is she powerful? Is she catching up? Is the day she can fight side-by-side with her impressive friends close? She doesn't want to be a burden. She wants to be strong. She wants to help.]

Luceti? I want to know what you think makes you strong. How does a person get strong? Or what do you do to make yourself strong?

[If one-on-one is more your sort, anybody can find Shiemi outside of the clothing shop trying to wrap a scarf around her 7ft+ metal bird. It can't be easy facing winter weather when you're metal. Especially when facing it after a nice heat wave.]

I've never really done it before, sorry.. .. I did try wrestling with Ikki-kun once, but I'm not sure if that was training.

[shamelessness]

What was wrestling like?

[etudes]

Hmmm.. [ ... ] It was really, really difficult.

[ but that's mostly since kotomi has no strength whatsoever. ]

[shamelessness]

Did you use any cool moves?

[etudes]

I don't really have any cool moves. After all, I'm not a professional wrestler.. and Ikki-kun told me that I'm not allowed to wrestle anymore from now on.

[shamelessness]

Why not?

[etudes]

.. Hmm.. maybe he thought I wasn't suited for it?

[shamelessness]

Maybe not... But there's always other things!

[etudes]

Ah, I know that. Of course there's other things I can do.. like playing the violin. I really, really love to do that.

[shamelessness]

I didn't know Kotomi-chan played violin! I bet you're really good at it.

[etudes]

I don't know if I'm really good, but.. I just like it when I can touch everyone's hearts with my violin playing. [ more like kill them with how horrible it is, kotomi. ]

[shamelessness]

Do you think I can hear you play one day?

[etudes]

Of course. I'd love to let you hear anytime you want. .. Ah, you can come over right now and listen, for example..

[shamelessness]

Now?

[etudes]

Uh-huh. If you have time.

[shamelessness]

S-sure! Where are you?

[etudes]

I'm at home. House 26.. can you find that?

[shamelessness]

Su-sure, I can find it!

[etudes]

Thank you, Shiemi-chan. I'll be waiting.

[shamelessness]

[Maybe not right after, but later on in the day Shiemi will be arriving with a knock-knock on the door.]

[etudes]

[ Kotomi has been sitting there waiting all this time..!! She takes things very literally, okay. So she's quickly at the door, staring for a moment as she opens it.. but then she bows politely. ]

Good day, Shiemi-chan.

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi bows in return.]

You too, Kotomi-chan. May I come in?

[etudes]

Of course. That's what the door is open for, after all.

[ She gives a tiny smile and steps to the side so Shiemi can pass and go in. ]

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi steps inside, and once passed the door she'll begin to remove her shoes before even thinks about going further in the house.]

So Kotomi-chan has a violin here?

[etudes]

That's right. I found it one day at the item shop, I was so very glad to have one again.. I really miss playing the violin otherwise. [ She's so excited, her music must clearly be amazing, right? ]
