Babylonia - Center of Basic Public Education - 9:00 am

Here, and there. And then...

Hmm, not bad. Just a bit more here...

...

Alright! Done!

... (Displays her work)

Hmm... This isn't too bad, right? I knew I could do it!

Knocking—

Coming!

Ayla, I brought a book for you. "The Legend of Art".

Thanks, ma'am!

Look at my work! How is it?

It's very nice. You are really good, Ayla.

You can draw, you can write, and you even sing very well.

I hope one day I can see you shine.

Of course! I won't let you down!

I want everybody to see my artwork and listen to my songs! I want everybody to be happy!

Good girl...

If you become famous, I'll be delighted.

Hehe!

Right, Ayla. One more thing.

Tomorrow I'm taking everyone for an outing as usual. Don't forget to prepare.

Great! I've been waiting for this!

Museum of Human Legacy last year, Construct Research Lab the year before...

Where are we going this year?!

You really can't wait, can you, Ayla? But, no spoilers.

What?! Please!

Fat Boy

Hehehe... According to my sources, we are definitely going to the garden for a picnic!

Lazy Boy

What, not again... I don't want to go for a picnic.

Fat Boy

Really?! I can't believe there's someone who doesn't like a picnic! God save him!

Lazy Boy

You're just making it up. I'm going back—

Fat Boy

Wait! Ahem, I admit that a picnic is my personal preference. But!

This is highly classified information. I'm only telling you because you are my friend! It's the Virtual Convention Center!

Lazy Boy

R-really? Are you saying that...

Fat Boy

Yeah, that's right! Virtual reality games, baby!

Lazy Boy

I won't be able to fall asleep tonight...! Why did you have to tell me...

Huh? Are games really that fun?

Fat Boy

Oh, hi, Ayla.

You girls may not know much about games. But if you get to play the game, you'll probably understand how exciting it is!

Imagine you are a powerful Construct, going to an unknown space full of danger.

In your left hand is a sci-fi energy beam weapon, in your right hand is a laser sword.

Three alien monsters suddenly appear in front of you—slash! Pew pew!

One hit, one kill. Then you finish them all with one beam! Bang! How cool is that!

Hmm... I can imagine that scene. And I should be able to draw it down...?

Lazy Boy

You're a great painter, but you need to actually play it to get the gist.

Even if you draw it, there's no point... A picture alone can't bring the battlefield to you.

Huh... Is that so?

Fat Boy

Ayla the Great Artist lives in a pure and innocent world. Leave the battlefield to us brave warriors!

Lazy Boy

Ooh! I-I'm feeling excited too!

...Pure and innocent... Huh.
