Floyd  |
My wish is~…
To get new shoes. | |

Ortho  |
Floyd Leech, I remember you were completely absorbed in a shoe catalog the other day. I can tell you really love shoes! | |
Idia  |
…Why don’t you just buy some then? You don’t have to waste your wish on it… | |
Floyd |
You don’t know, do you, Firefly Squid? I’m wishing for them ‘cause I can’t get ‘em that easily.
I’ll show you the ones I want on my phone. ——Here, these. They’re simple lace-up shoes, but the toe shape is really cool, right? | |
Ortho |
Wow…! That bluish black color looks awesome! | |
Floyd |
You get it, Sea Angel.
They’re supposed to get these colors ‘cause the professionals carefully hand-dye each one of ‘em. I wanna have one dyed for me too~ | |
Idia |
Oh, so it’s the same thing with shoes as it is with plastic models—it’s considered cool when it’s the original and has a full paint-job…
Wait, b-back up! The brand displayed on the screen is “Ténèbres”! I’m not even in the fashion fandom and I’ve heard about that insane luxury shoe brand! I’m sure the price must be pretty high—eek! 360,000 madols?! | |
Ortho |
They’re very expensive! | |
Floyd |
I told ya I couldn’t get ‘em that easily.
My feet have gotten bigger since last year so I’ll probably hafta update my shoe model too… | |
Idia |
Your shoe model?! S-So these shoes are made from scratch, down to the exact shape?! | |
Ortho |
Big Brother, I made a search and it seems that the correct term for shoes is “made-to-order” or “bespoke” rather than “made from scratch.” | |
Idia |
I can’t even begin to understand… Why would a student ever need to wear these? | |
Floyd |
There was somethin’ my dad told me before I came on land~
“They’ll look down on a man that doesn’t show attention to detail. Mind how your feet appear when you’re on land, and don’t be cheap about it.” …Those were his words. | |
Idia |
Wha—that sounds kinda scary. Just what kind of person is your dad…? | |
Floyd |
Ehh~? You wanna know? Well~… | |
Idia |
Ah, no. You don’t have to share.
I’m getting a weird vibe from this. Is someone going to threaten me to keep quiet if I learn the truth? Count me out of that mess. | |
Ortho |
Should I get parts that look like those leather shoes he showed us so that no one looks down on me either? | |
Idia |
N-Nah… That was kinda a standalone thing. I don’t think you need to follow it… | |
