If a decorated sword exists in the reference, accurately reproduce that design. The guest watches from the center with a sweat mark 💦. Azatee: "Since it's bare, it's totally worth decorating!~🎶" Mikado: "Tying it with black and red keeps it from being too sweet." Attach a small mascot keychain based on the guest to the scabbard with a short gold chain. Do not make it look like a toy on the desk. [Panel 4] Classroom at sunset. Smiling Azatee on the left, happy guest in the center, smiling Mikado on the right. The three are huddled together as close friends. Expressionless characters express joy through blushing or gestures. Do not draw the physical sword.

Decorate your sword and you're already besties ♡" Sticker-style with thick black and white outlines and gold borders. Do not cover faces and draw text accurately.
