Chapter 159: The Shy Maiden
The moment she heard the word “begin,” Weiss immediately tensed up a little.
“Let’s start by studying the pose. Try imitating the sculptures behind you and make a pose that covers your face. A sitting posture would probably be best. Oh right, let’s temporarily set the theme as ‘The Shy Maiden.’ What do you think?” Leon suggested, sounding exactly like a painter discussing things with his model.
“There has to be a theme too?” Weiss froze for a moment.
“You need to blend perfectly into these artworks, so naturally we also have to imitate the artistic creation process properly. Come on, try improvising first.” As Leon spoke, he shifted a sculpture aside to make room for Weiss.
“L-like this?” Weiss stiffly struck a pose covering her face.
“Too rigid. Relax a little, your joints need to look softer. Actually, why don’t you try this pose?” Leon said while personally demonstrating a pose for Weiss.
Weiss took one look and her expression stiffened before she finally failed to hold back her laughter.
Because the pose was intended to display the graceful beauty of a woman’s figure, seeing Leon—a robustly built man—doing it instead produced an oddly comical contrast.
“I’m demonstrating poses for you here, and you’re laughing at me?” Leon smiled bitterly toward Weiss.
