「服とか家とか、料理とか。
　そこまでは分かるの。うん、分かる。
　妖精でもそれくらいはやるからな。
　でも履きものまで工夫するとか、もう無理。
　マジ無理。意識飛ぶ。
　だって足よ？　踵よ？
　いちばん敏感なところを思う存分飾るのよ？
　ダイタン、カレイ、ヨウエン、ユウガ。
　汎人類史にはもう魔法はないって聞いたけど、
　節穴もいいところ。こんなに沢山の魔法の靴、
　妖精國でもお目にかかれない。
　見るのも履くのも飾るのもいいけれど、
　夢はやっぱり自分の一足。
　少しずつ少しずつ、腕を上げて一流に近づくの。
　理想の靴ができるまで何年かかると思う？
　１年？　それとも10年？
　それまで私が生きていれば、
　その時は、記念に一足、貰ってくれる？」

"Clothes, houses, cooking...
I know that much. Yes, I do.
Even faeries can make those on their own.
But putting that much work into things you wear on your feet? No way.
I can't even. It drives me crazy.
They're your feet, you know? Your heels.
You decorate the most sensitive part however you like?
So bold! Gorgeous! Bewitching! Elegant!
I've heard that magic doesn't exist in Proper Human History anymore, but you don't know how good you've got it.
You'd never find so many magical shoes anywhere in Faerie Britain.
I like admiring, wearing, and decorating them, but my dream is really to design my own pair of shoes.
I'll practice and improve, little by little, until I'm a first-class creator.
How long do you think it'll take to make my ideal pair of shoes?
One year? Ten?
If I live that long, will you give me a pair to celebrate the occasion?"
