Hello. I’m Tomoko Hayane!
August is here, and the summer heat is really kicking into high gear! Every day, it feels like you’re wrapped in hot air the moment you step outside.

Featured in this month’s wallpaper is the princess Blaze, who not only refuses to be overwhelmed by the heat, but can even wield flames with effortless cool!

Carefully Chosen Office Essentials!

Blaze’s glasses are designed after the miraculous jewels she protects, the Sol Emeralds! They even match the color of the glass pen she’s holding, and they suit her perfectly, don’t they?

By the way, doesn’t that pen look familiar to a lot of you?

That’s right, it’s the same glass pen Blaze was using while carrying out her official duties in the November 2020 SONIC PICT! Maybe this time she’s giving some documents one final check while wearing her glasses…♪

The flame flickering around the glass pen is pretty intriguing too. Could it be used to melt some kind of special ink as she writes? Or perhaps it lights up her hands when she’s working somewhere dark?

Just imagining her working late into the night with that serious expression makes me straighten my posture too…!

All for the Sake of Her People!

Although Blaze is the princess of the Sol Empire in another dimension, she also carries the power of fire within her and bears the great responsibility of serving as guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Her noble and disciplined spirit is part of what makes her so appealing, as she fulfills her duties with the motto, “My power exists to protect the smiles of my people.”

With Blaze being who she is… maybe she would plan something like a “Sol Empire Summer Festival” for her people to enjoy during the hot season!?

“If it’s too easy, there won’t be enough sense of accomplishment. But if it’s too difficult, it’ll take away everyone’s smiles. We must prepare at least ten difficulty levels for the ring toss………!”

The documents she’s staring so intently at are packed with ideas for making sure everyone in the Empire has a good time.

And on the day itself, she’d surely show up wearing a yukata and personally demonstrate how to play the festival games, even if she ends up flustered by all the people eagerly asking her to join in♪
