So, it’s almost time for the birthday interview, huh. I wonder what they’ll ask this year.
And ‘sides, who did the “Magical Pendulum” even choose to be my presenter?

???

Excuse me!

Happy birthday, Floyd Leech-san! Let’s have a good time today.

Oooh, so you’re the one who’s gonna get this show on the road, Clione-chan? Make it entertaining for me, 'kay?

I’ll do my best. So then, I’ll get the interview going right away.
“Are you good or bad at flying?”
|

Flying? Sure, I like it, but I don’t know if I’m good at it, or nothing.
Sometimes I can clear a set task in one go, but when I can’t, I just suuuck.
Stuff like having to fly at a specific height in a straight line’s super boring, too.

I understand. So you’re the type whose flying skills can change greatly depending on your current emotions.

Isn’t that how everyone is?
If something looks fun, I totally feel like trying it, but if it’s boring, it’s a pain to even lift one finger to do it.
But meh, even on days I’m not really feeling up to doing anything, I can still fly higher than Jade or Azul, so.

Oh, that reminds me, I’ve seen statistics that says merfolk tend to dislike flying.
|

Hrrrrm, there’s data like that? I bet whoever researched that must’ve been real bored.
I mean, I guess Jade and Azul don’t really like flying from the get go, anyway.
Back when I first started learning how to fly, it didn’t matter how into it I was, I still messed up a ton.
It’s a totally different sensation than being in the water, so I had a hard time just trying to balance on top of the broom.

That does indeed sound like an issue that arises simply by default of being merfolk.

Oh yeah, way back when, I remember I had a total epic fail.
I couldn’t control the broom at all, and ended up slamming into the bushes. Ahaha,

Eehh!? Did you get hurt?
|
Floyd
Floyd

Uhh, just got scraped up here and there, I guess? But it was so fast compared to how we move in the ocean, so it startled me a bit.
But, I just couldn’t get over that thrill I felt, y'know~? I wanted to feel it again, so…
I’d watch videos and try to copy what I saw, trying all sorts of different stuff. Eventually, I was able to fly better.
Lobster-sensei even told me that out of all the merfolk he’s ever taught here, that I was one of the fastest to pick it up, too.

Wow, that’s amazing!
I wonder why your improvement was much faster compared to the other merfolk?
|
Floyd
Floyd

How should I know? Lobster-sensei just said that it’s important to not be afraid of flying, though.

If I were to compile everything you’ve explained here… I guess that means what’s most important is to have the proper spirit, right?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
Maybe?
It’s also just a waste of time to just be zoning out thinking of other things, or just doing nothing like a sea anemone, anyway.
|
Ortho

|
Ehe, you’re right. I want to be able to learn new things without fear just like that, too.

'Kay, I think that wraps it up nicely, don'tcha? Clione-chan, get on with the next question.
