UA's Airhead Beauty

Glancing over at Nejire, Emi perceives that the girl is deep in thought. “What’s on your mind?” If anything, this was about Nejire and her getting experience, not her. She told herself that she was going to do everything in her power to make this an enjoyable learning experience for the girl. Well, the best she could by accepting the girl for who she was and how she processed things. Afterall, Emi would never tell anyone not to be themselves.

"Something's not right. She seems.. off? But she's not doing anything wrong just yet. It's just.. her face.."

CAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOUCH I GET THIS FEELING

Packing up her belongings to get ready for the next school day, Emi headed out of Ketsubetsu and back to her apartment. Dropping her items off at home, she quickly changed into her hero uniform, hoping that she could at least meet Nejire halfway from her apartment and UA. 

Nejire looked down at her phone to check the time. It was still a bit early, but she decided to get ready anyway. Without further delay, she changed into her hero outfit and took a look in the mirror, adjusting her hair and headband a tad bit. Once she deemed herself ready and presentable, she made her way out of the house and to the meeting location.

Observing the crowds, Emi couldn’t find anything abnormal. Tilting her head up, she closed her eyes and pondered how her day on patrol would go with Nejire. If anything, it baffling to think that UA would have their students travel an hour or more to their destination just to roam the streets closer to Ketsubetsu. Either way, it felt like an incredible honor to have one of the top three of UA ask to go patrolling with her. 

“Anything that I want to get from this? Well, I’d like to be able to focus on one objective without getting distracted but that’s a personal goal. Umm..”

Cocking her head back at Nejire, Emi assured her, “We’ll have plenty of time for you to dwell on it, so there is no rush!” Leading the young woman to where they would be watching for crime, she attempted to get them there reasonably quickly. 

Nejire had been staring down at the street for awhile, legs swinging off the edge of the rooftop. She looked back up and at her mentor for the day.

Chuckling to herself, Emi was already fond of Nejire. Keeping Nejire in her peripheral view, her eyes burned with passion as she responded to the young lady’s questions. “Oh, you’re curious! I love it! Seeing a young individual with so much determination and purpose, it makes my heart race!” 

She let out a small laugh and grinned upon hearing praise. Nejire looked back at the ground below her and listened carefully to the other’s words. She took mental notes of everything said, also noting to write everything down when she got home.

Attentively listening to Nejire as she thought through how to approach this part of town for patrols, Emi kept watching below. It was intriguing to listen to the girl’s thought process, but as soon as Nejire apologized, Emi corrected her. “Don’t ever apologize for doing your job. From what I heard, you theorized it correctly from what you could at least. Everyone has their own way of figuring things out, don’t apologize for being you." 

She blinked a few times. Not being scolded for talking too much? That was a first. She felt a small smile pull onto her lips. Nejire liked her already. Slowly, she stood and nodded.

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

OMG HEAVEN!!
