How can I help you, young children?
252Please respect copyright.PENANAr5DxS617sA
ALYSSA252Please respect copyright.PENANAVKi7N3LjuR
We were just talking about shoes.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAeuATyGxfcd

252Please respect copyright.PENANAlSqKwgtKWm
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANAHFXEXQFwIS
Showcasing is a competition!252Please respect copyright.PENANAMYDOcG29Bs
What an unrealistic daydream!
252Please respect copyright.PENANAQkVt2wZ0oY
CINDER252Please respect copyright.PENANAXzAGKTEfOr
(optimistic)252Please respect copyright.PENANAv8GxPx5UTe
Absolutely not!252Please respect copyright.PENANAW9dG43dZxb
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAcWRhartJ8b
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANAW16PJAZBz1
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.252Please respect copyright.PENANAlg8Q5IS47o
When did you start training?
252Please respect copyright.PENANAAlSnxHUS6J
CINDER252Please respect copyright.PENANAxu90GJeXCO
I am self-taught.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAUXeZnRhHTH
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANAhb41zYJRfw
See! Another disadvantage.252Please respect copyright.PENANAyP10MFyn8P
Give up this dream.252Please respect copyright.PENANAQHeTa3MEZC
Let me tell you.252Please respect copyright.PENANAn8o5DlvKNR
Always plan realistically in life.252Please respect copyright.PENANAG3moUgIDZv
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.252Please respect copyright.PENANA7X99kGrp54
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes252Please respect copyright.PENANAXEeH2MJeRK
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
252Please respect copyright.PENANA2j0pIHT48S
CINDER252Please respect copyright.PENANABZ9XedgOJT
And that is what differentiates us.252Please respect copyright.PENANAS2xRTxOK1J
Winning has always been secondary.252Please respect copyright.PENANAUgBmgL4mfr
The thing that I love is dancing,252Please respect copyright.PENANAtR7umlFF8k
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAxZbcW4rPph
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANAeptnyq54Sr
(disbelieve)252Please respect copyright.PENANA9rv9HydMoV
Then what’s the point of entering a competition?252Please respect copyright.PENANAOvvsY834Xq
You must always aim for the best.252Please respect copyright.PENANAlSJAsUdeRK
Championship should be your goal!
252Please respect copyright.PENANAUeEUWWJZBJ
CINDER252Please respect copyright.PENANA0OKF1zSZAK
(optimistic)252Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8D1lkU7dy
I disagree!252Please respect copyright.PENANAwmLvNpiJ09
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.252Please respect copyright.PENANAmUaoYnuao7
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,252Please respect copyright.PENANAmk9KA341wK
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
252Please respect copyright.PENANAWIpRZIyQHm
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANAWQrkNNB0ed
(disbelieve)252Please respect copyright.PENANAfXRBkM5BXL
Being the best itself is happiness!252Please respect copyright.PENANA0Lpgdq1Qie
Being the best brings you power and glory.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAuhoRcGQRzA
CINDER252Please respect copyright.PENANAvRfGSuGRRk
I am just a dancer,252Please respect copyright.PENANAQaGbqGL5NY
I don’t need to change the world.
252Please respect copyright.PENANA27HLaDgrbT
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] fell silent, comprehending what CINDER had said. SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] frowned and finally sighed.

(lightly laughing)252Please respect copyright.PENANAakcXvu6q1f
I know what you mean.252Please respect copyright.PENANAeiIJNO5Fw6
There is just so much in life that must be thought out thoroughly.
252Please respect copyright.PENANA3sRnCvQn9H
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] knelt down and picked up shoe, handed it to CINDER.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAYTlZ4BRigA
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] (CONT’D)252Please respect copyright.PENANAJEUg8lfBqs

252Please respect copyright.PENANAPVYPOK1eqY
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]252Please respect copyright.PENANA8SbWPJAWsa
(profound)252Please respect copyright.PENANAYjtf0sIURo
You’ll need this too.252Please respect copyright.PENANAb7jWZXIkDr
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.252Please respect copyright.PENANAJeALjL9cuO
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
252Please respect copyright.PENANAzdksDbBNVG
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
252Please respect copyright.PENANAkjPCHfFUMr
ALYSSA252Please respect copyright.PENANA2fioOi2R4u
