How can I help you, young children?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGGG5Hi8edQ

We were just talking about shoes.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEvdJiNK7lS

147Please respect copyright.PENANARgJUFvUl2E
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANAVogrw0U8Jf
Showcasing is a competition!147Please respect copyright.PENANAMFtNtUCiLe
What an unrealistic daydream!
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWW3etJfx9n
CINDER147Please respect copyright.PENANAT2wyZfY64L
(optimistic)147Please respect copyright.PENANATbtkbGXNfL
Absolutely not!147Please respect copyright.PENANA7FrxjsRCBU
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA8wRBRbINoE
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANAlX2fSLmgZB
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.147Please respect copyright.PENANAJBJUbvrBpT
When did you start training?
147Please respect copyright.PENANATccl6zxC4M
CINDER147Please respect copyright.PENANADUNG0qRJzc
I am self-taught.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYy6fGlYZk8
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANAhjBfmmGKYE
See! Another disadvantage.147Please respect copyright.PENANAdO8uKApvda
Give up this dream.147Please respect copyright.PENANASgX1KeQLDt
Let me tell you.147Please respect copyright.PENANANoRyW3mmdj
Always plan realistically in life.147Please respect copyright.PENANADU1EbxvKAI
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.147Please respect copyright.PENANAUY87wWdK0a
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes147Please respect copyright.PENANAWhzaqhuDip
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAYNHKl9m20p
CINDER147Please respect copyright.PENANAjcEkXt0vEl
And that is what differentiates us.147Please respect copyright.PENANAbT1rLWwWNj
Winning has always been secondary.147Please respect copyright.PENANASPArfLvULn
The thing that I love is dancing,147Please respect copyright.PENANAyIucyeJ3ZO
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfCNfwU2Iu2
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANAnJjLNpgVMd
(disbelieve)147Please respect copyright.PENANAHbBLBHUIYs
Then what’s the point of entering a competition?147Please respect copyright.PENANAGhnv64M6CB
You must always aim for the best.147Please respect copyright.PENANAuZKqRcQ0wc
Championship should be your goal!
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2qWdAVvPTA
CINDER147Please respect copyright.PENANAYt7zG1EdSZ
(optimistic)147Please respect copyright.PENANAYEh5oH2v97
I disagree!147Please respect copyright.PENANAZjayigbYTI
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.147Please respect copyright.PENANAVufhT8dZuu
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,147Please respect copyright.PENANAubfxycl3AP
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMeaYwrKyxq
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANAiAYFnXmj9S
(disbelieve)147Please respect copyright.PENANAj2V22q86BL
Being the best itself is happiness!147Please respect copyright.PENANApIZ4PKtbXi
Being the best brings you power and glory.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANRfimvDB4r
CINDER147Please respect copyright.PENANAc7I7ISJ8MC
I am just a dancer,147Please respect copyright.PENANAYo4by16VpO
I don’t need to change the world.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ2Euxpeam

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]147Please respect copyright.PENANA5iGsQauvAn
(profound)147Please respect copyright.PENANAKlHLqqcyXk
You’ll need this too.147Please respect copyright.PENANA4b2xjEqXmr
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.147Please respect copyright.PENANAWEgMHQguNb
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjiRfzv1LIi
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKaWTxroE7D
ALYSSA147Please respect copyright.PENANACcFbVq29Rk
