It’s time to brainstorm the perfect pose to make Leona stand out during the fashion show…
First of all, let’s hear Rook and Cater’s opinions.
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
Hmm~, that’s right~…
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
…
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
How about the ever-popular mysterious upturned eyes? …. Hm!!! Oh, and try pulling in your chin ☆
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Grhhh!!!!!!
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
I want you to look a little more ephemeral, Leona-kun. Can you hold your hand out towards me?
Now stare into the void…. like that… As if you’re asking a prince for aid!…
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Wha? I don’t understand the shit you’re on about…
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Non! Your body has to face me like this!! Make your shoulders crips and parallel with the ground!!!!
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Ugh-!!!!!
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Ah yes, why don’t you try holding some flowers? What would look better, yellow or pink?
How confounding… You know what, let’s put both on your shoulders to try it out!
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
Ooh, in that case, we can surround your face with flowers to give the impression of a slim face…
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
… Fuc'ing annoying!!!!!
|
 Rook & Cater
Rook & Cater 
|
Ouch-!!
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Stop touching me with your sticky hands. It’s disgusting.
To start with I don’t need such detailed instructions…. things like pulling in my chin, putting out my hand.
Let’s quit all this tedious talking and skip to trying the real thing. It’ll be much faster.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
… Really? Aren’t you awfully confident?
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
You bastards want “mysterious” and “ephemeral”, right?
Well, I’ll answer your prayers. So shut up and watch.
….. There. Feeling satisfied?
|
….
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Roi du Leon…
……. That is some beautiful posing!
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
And totes natural~! Could it be you’re not a stranger to it!?
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
You know, back home, we often have to pose for portraits and commemorative photos and so on.
So this much is easy.
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
Po-, portraits… that’s the royal family for you.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
…
… Not bad.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Haha-! See!?
Well then, with this the lesson is finally over…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
But.
|
“But”?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
… It’s ordinary.
|
!?
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Saying that…. after making me do all this…
You’re calling it ordinary!?..
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
I’d consider it an “ordinary” level of pretty. You got some mystery and ephemeralness in there, and your concept wasn’t bad either.
…. But just that won’t cut it.
In order for “Operation: Eyes on me, not the tiara" to succeed, you have to have “something” more than ordinary.
And your current pose lacks this “something”.
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
…. I see. When you put it that way, I want to see what Leona can bring out beyond this point.
In the end, Vil’s judgments when it comes to beauty are accurate as always!~
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
However, I am somewhat troubled since I’m not sure what the “something” you’re lacking is at this moment.
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Hm, that is a tough question. What do you think, Leona-kun?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
…? Where is Leona?
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
Ummm, about Leona-kun….
He said “I give up” and went back to Savanaclaw ♪
|
 Rook & Vil
Rook & Vil 
|
!?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
This irresponsible man!… I will chase you!
|
|
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
|
Vil
|
LEONA!!! UNLOCK THIS DOOR.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
These rude assholes…
Haa~ah. I’ll just go take a nap.
|
Ruggie
|
… Huh? What are y’all doing in front of Leona’s door?
|
Cater
|
Ah, Ruggie-kun. We got ourselves in a bit of a mess…
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
…
|
Ruggie
|
… I see. So Leona went and locked himself away in his room.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
…
|
Ruggie
|
Well, Leona-san always forgets to lock the bay window.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
!?
|
Rook
|
Thank you, Monsieur Dandelion!
|
 Rook
Rook 
|
Excuse the intrusion, Leona-kun.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Look at you all tucked into your blankets, sweetly snoozing away…. aren’t you a good kid.
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Ruggie… you bastard!…
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
I-I had no other choice!
If the show fails because of Leona, then I’ll be the one in trouble for exchanging the tiara, ya know.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
…. As for me, I hate doing things halfway. We will do this perfectly.
Founded on the Fairest Queen’s spirit of encouragement… It’s the pride of Pomefiore!!!
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Don’t pull on my blankets!!
I went out of my way to help out, and all I get in return are complaints…
I followed all your instructions already. I can’t go further than this.
|
 Rook & Cater
Rook & Cater 
|
That….
|
 Leona
Leona 
|
Sorry, but I’m not going to waste any more effort on this.
It’s time to sleep.
|
*blanket SWOOSH*
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
…!!
|
 Ruggie
Ruggie 
|
Aa~aah. He’s completely wrapped up in his blankets now. He won’t be waking up for a while.
|
 Cater
Cater 
|
What should we do? If he’s acting like this, the posing isn’t exactly…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Fufu….
|
Huh?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Fufu…. Fufufu-! I got it! The inspiration I needed!
