Picture originally completed and posted on 20 September 2021. I drew this to thank Fio-san, a fellow nominee in CDB’s Cassel Dream Theater contest, for working together with me to overcome our shyness!
During the contest’s user poll period, the official staff didn’t spread the word at all, so almost nobody knew the contest even existed! If you want to win, then you gotta save yourself with your own hands, and tell people to vote for you in the world chat. Both Fio-san and I being shy people, it was like giving us a public punishment! However, we were both intent on putting in our all to win, so we came up with a solution—we decided to TEAM UP!
It was super scary for us to suddenly appear in the world chat alone to talk about the contest, so we decided to always show up together. When both of us were there, the world wasn’t as scary anymore. We danced together like that throughout the entire user poll period and it was amazing! I wouldn’t have as much courage to talk if it wasn’t for Fio-san.
In the end, I may have only reached 3rd place as a prince, but our world chat efforts successfully got Fio-san to win first place in the princess category. I was so happy for her!! Thank you for being my sweet and beautiful princess, Fio-san, and congratulations for winning the Best Princess Award!
P.S. I first met Fio-san during this photoshoot. She was really pretty and sweet! I’m happy that we’re able to turn from complete strangers to lasting friends through this contest!
