konishi: ok so, miss nomiya...

maki-chan: well we finished
the photo session. it went fine.
but you
didn't show up!

k: oops, sorry... it's that i...

m: actually...
it was *something*, you know!

k: so i've heard!

m: i had these butterfly
wings attached to my back...
how to explain?
i had to lie down
on the floor...
that was tricky
i had a hard time.

k: i'm sorry! i always make
you do hard things.

m: but the make-up
had this butterfly
motif...
like the glittering
of a butterfly's wings
i had this butterfly
make-up.
and my wig!
green hair...
it was my first time
with green hair...
it looked quite
good...
i thought it worked
pretty well...

k: oh! i want to see this!
really?

m: yes... when i heard
they were making me wings...
i got very worried.
what is it gonna be
like this time and stuff...
but when i saw them
on the photo session day
i thought they looked
beautiful.
the wings were beautiful.

k: i hear
you used
real butterflies too?

m: real ones too.

k: how did you manage?

m: they had them shipped
from okinawa or something.

k: butterflies
they caught there.

m: yes! and they
kept flying away
during the shooting!
we had a hard time...
but it was interesting...
and then...
they had some
butterflies
land on my feet.
and we took pictures.
but they had to spread
some water with sugar on
my feet to take this one.
you know like
working with animals
or rather insects
can be really difficult.

k: i'm sure it must
look really good.

m: i thought
it looked great.

k: it was quite
a long session wasn't it?
i remember you say
that your body
hurt all over...

m: that's right!
i got muscle pains!
