Aren't you a cupid? [ they are continuing to go through the motions of showing her different kinds of strikes, slow and easy to follow. ] Or is this fights with your supervisors or whatever?
Mm, we do choose our targets from a—task board, you could call it, but it doesn't exactly mean we get dibs. So if another cupid is going for the same person as you...
It becomes a race to see who actually gets the target. Yeah, I can see where you'd have to fight to stake your claim. But that also means you can pass on whatever targets you want, right?
That's... kind of nice. You have a job you don't mind doing, but you still get a choice in the people you work on. You've probably seen some really interesting people.
It's a nice thought. [ they sound like they don't entirely agree. ] I think being new makes it even more likely. It means everything's different from what you knew before.
All the more reason to buff up your skills and prepare for going back. There're worse reasons for wanting to go home. I don't think wanting to get better at your job is one of them.
Anytime. I don't mind running drills to teach you whatever I can. It's important to know, even if you weren't gonna have to fight people for your jobs.
And he's right. It's a lot easier to learn when you're still young anyway. Your reflexes are faster and it's easier to build up that muscle memory before something does happen.
Guess every place has a hierarchy whether we understand it or not. But maybe it's a good idea to think a little more about it before putting more work in. Make sure you know what you're getting into, officially.

Well... Apparently it's pretty common for cupids to get into fights over targets.

So tell me more about how that whole thing works. I'm curious. Do you, like, have a hit list and you just go down the line to set these people up?

Wasn't aware that's the kind of thing you really can get out of.

It’s what Kanna-senpai told me, and she’s been doing this for a lot longer than I have.
