- "Ah, there you are."
- When I enter the office, Shelby Snail, president of the Cupid Corporation, is waiting for me.
Not only is he the president, he's also the company's young and charismatic founder.
- Shelby Snail
- "I apologize for asking you to meet with me so early."
- Heroine
- "N-No, it's no problem at all."
- Shelby Snail
- "..."
- Heroine
- "..."
- Heroine
- "Um, s-so...what did you want to talk to me about?"
- Shelby Snail
- "Yes, well—before that, there's something I'd like to ask you."
- Shelby Snail
- "I've heard through the grapevine that you're highly motivated in regards to earning a promotion."
- Heroine
- (Uh-oh...)
- I'd mentioned my plans a few times, it's true, but I never imagined it'd reach the president himself.
- Shelby Snail
- "Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing.
It's always good to have the desire to improve."
- Shelby Snail
- "It just seemed a bit...odd for someone who's only been here a year to be voicing such desires.
Is there any particular reason for this?"
- Heroine
- "Huh? W-Well, it's just because..."
- The last thing I want to tell him is the truth.
- Heroine
- (There's no way he'd believe me anyway.)
- After considering it for a moment, I decided to give a more generic answer.
- Heroine
- "I just thought that if I could get promoted, I'd be able to help even more people get married."
- Shelby Snail
- "That's the reason? To help people?"
- Heroine
- "That's right. The steady drop in marriage rates has bothered me for a long time now."
- I've just...always been worried about how fewer and fewer people are getting married. That's my genuine feeling.
- Heroine
- "When I first heard there was a company in Los York trying to help people with that, I immediately wanted to become part of that."
- Heroine
- "And after being here a year, that feeling hasn't changed.
If getting promoted means I can help match even more people together, that's what I want to do!"
- Shelby Snail
- "I see... That's quite an admirable motivation.
Well, consider me convinced. You were able to become our top bridal advisor after just your first year here, after all."
- Shelby Snail
- "So you're saddened by our declining marriage rates.
You're like our own personal Cupid, so to speak."
- Heroine
- (*Gulp*)
- Shelby Snail
- "What's with that smile? Did I say something strange?"
- Heroine
- "N-No, not at all! A-Anyway, was there anything else?"
