---- Why is this happening?

"Yes!　You look great!　Yes, yes!　Oh, I need something a little more s*xy!　Flushed eyes, flushed eyes!

　I don't get it at all.
　I thought I was at the mall to buy clothes and daily necessities, but then I realized that I had to model ...... like a model.
　It's not just me, but also a very beautiful woman who is shooting with me.

"Yuuya!　Your expression is too stiff!　Smile, smile, smile!

　You're smiling!
　As I was thinking about what to do, the model I was shooting with, ---- Miu, smiled at me.

She said, "Yuuya-san. You don't have to worry about it, because everyone gets nervous like that at first.
"Yes, yes.

　I took a deep breath to calm down and looked at my outfit again.
　I had changed my outfit from a simple shirt and black pants to a white draped shirt with a thin black short-sleeved cardigan over it and burgundy skinny pants.
　All of these clothes were unlike anything I had ever worn before, and I was more nervous about the clothes themselves than about the shoot.
　I tried my best to calm down, but in the end I was still stiff, so I had to take a break.

"Phew. ......
Good work.
Oh, good work.
Do you mind if I sit next to you?
Oh, yes!　No problem!

　As I sat down on a bench in the shopping mall to catch my breath, Miu came over to talk to me.
　As soon as she sat down next to me, I said what I was thinking honestly.

Miu-san, you're amazing.
What?

　Miu was surprised by my sudden compliment.

I've never worn clothes like this before. ...... In fact, I've never had anything to do with fashion in my life. So when I saw the models in magazines, I didn't think anything of it. ...... After experiencing it for a day, and even for a short time, I realized how hard it is.
No way. ...... You get used to it!　I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, and I got angry a lot.
I used to make a lot of mistakes in the beginning and I used to get angry. I didn't expect to be asked not only to pose, but also to make facial expressions. ......
Hahahaha ...... Hikaru-san is famous in the modeling industry for being particularly particular about facial expressions.

　I'm not sure what to make of this. He doesn't look like that at all.

"Speaking of which, how did you get into this industry, Miu?

　When I asked her that as a genuine question, she made a little gesture of consideration and then answered with a serious expression.

I think I wanted people to see .......
"To be seen?

　Miu continued with a somewhat sad expression on her face.

My parents ...... don't get along with each other very well, ...... which is probably why I, their child, only try to treat them with the bare minimum. I really wanted them to see me, so I tried a lot of ...... things, but it didn't work very well.

　Miu smiled, looking somewhat sad.
　However, she soon brightened up her expression.

It was then that I was scouted by a model. Up until then, I thought I would never have anything to do with the entertainment industry, but after being scouted by ......, I began to think that if I could sell my work and become popular, maybe my parents would see me.　That's what I started to think. Maybe I could have been an actress on TV, but being scouted as a model was my destiny. ...... Recently, I have been allowed to appear on TV, and I thought I had become a little famous. I thought I'd become a little famous, but my parents didn't change their ways.

　Miu gave a troubled smile.

But that's okay now!　As I worked as a model, I felt that I wanted my parents to see me, and I hoped that by seeing me, as many people as possible would become interested in fashion, and that ...... would lead to people like me dreaming of becoming models.

　Miu's face was shining with pride.
　When I couldn't help but admire her expression, Miu hurriedly smiled shyly.

I'm sorry ...... hahahahaha. I'm sorry ...... for talking to you on my own. ......
...... No, that's not true. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it again.

　For Miu, modeling is an irreplaceable and important job, regardless of whether it is her vocation or not.
　The same can be said for any job, but in today's society, it is a miracle to be able to get the job you want, and there are even people who end up committing suicide due to the rough and tumble of society.
　It is important to be proud of your ...... work, but there are many environments that don't allow you to do so.
　What the hell will I be doing in the future?
　The old me would have been hopeless at finding a job, to be honest.
　At best, I would have found a job at a black company, which would have worn out my life span and spirit, and eventually I would have committed suicide.
　But I've changed. In many ways, I have changed.
　Aside from my appearance, the number of things I can do has increased tremendously.
　The more options I had for work, the more anxious I was.
　What the hell do I want to do?
　Because I don't know what that is. ......
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure what to say. I don't think you need to rush. Slow down ...... at your own pace. So for now, why don't you just enjoy the moment to the fullest and make each one of them your bread and butter?
"Enjoy the moment...... or .......

　Until recently, I didn't have the luxury of enjoying myself.
　I was struggling to survive, and my days were rather painful.
　But now it's different.
　Ever since I found that doorway to another world, I've been searching for .......

"Do you think I can find ...... too, ......?
Yes, you can!

　This is the first time I've been able to do so.

"Shattaaaaaaachaaaaaans!

　I heard a strange voice in the distance, but I couldn't make it out.

"Thank you!

"Thank you!　You really saved my life!
"No, no. I'm glad I could help you, but ...... are you sure that ...... was a good idea?



　After the break, somehow the shooting never resumed.
　On the contrary, Mr. Hikaru gave us some words of encouragement with a beaming face.
　......No, it's not up to me to say if the professionals say it's okay. ......
　I don't know, I just don't know which photo they're going to use.　I don't know, I haven't seen it.
　As I was thinking this, Hikaru-san suddenly handed me a large paper bag.

"Here, here!
"What?　What is it?　This is .......

　When I looked inside, I found a lot of clothes in it.

I'd really like to give you some money, but since you're an amateur, it's a little difficult for the office. So, these clothes are your reward!　Don't worry, it's made to your size. I've carefully selected clothes that I think will look good on you!
"What?　You can't do that!　It's been a good experience for me too. ......
Just take it!　There is some kind of reward for those who work hard. It's common sense.
"Ha, ha. ...... Well, then, ...... thank you for that .......

　I thanked him and he nodded with a smile. He's a nice guy.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"Yuuya-san. Thank you for today.
No, thank you too!　It was a really valuable experience for me, and more importantly, being able to work with a serious ...... professional like this will be something that will help me in the future.

　When I said this with a smile and borrowed Miu's words, she looked surprised for a moment, but then she immediately smiled.

I'm glad to hear that!　If we should meet again at some point, I would appreciate it if you could take care of me then!
"Yes!　I also wish you the best of luck, Miu-san!

　I also wish Miu-san good luck!

"Hey. I'm late.

　A cool guy walked up to us.
　He had waxed blond hair and stylish earrings in his ears.
　His clothes were tastefully dressed, and I could sense that he had a similar vibe to Miu.
　But at the same time, there was something completely different about her that I couldn't understand.
　I couldn't tell who it was, and as I stared blankly, I saw a blue streak on Hikaru's forehead, where he had been smiling earlier.

"You little shit. ......!

　His tone of voice has changed back to that of a man!
　It's not only the fact that Hikaru's tone is back to being a man, but what is this man?

"Um, ...... Miu-san. Who is that man over there?
"Well, ......, he's the male model who was supposed to be shooting with me today.

　After Miu's explanation, I was convinced of one thing.
　I was thinking that he and Miu had a similar vibe, but it turns out they were the same model.
　As I was being convinced by myself, the man noticed Miu's presence and approached me with a grin.

"Miu-chan!　You're shooting with me today! How's it going?　Aren't you happy to be shooting with me?
"Well, let's see... ......
Well, let's get this shoot over with and go eat something delicious together.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's a little confused.
　This is .......

"Hey, hey, that's nice!
That .......
Oh?

　When I called out to him, the man looked at me in a troublesome manner.

"Who are you?　Don't talk to me, man. Get out of here.

　Then, even though I was just talking to him, he cursed at me. Why?
　I was stunned for a moment, but then again I firmly told the man.

No, that ...... Miu-san is in trouble, so I think you should move away a bit.
"Yuya-san!
What about ............?

　Miu looks a little impatient and calls my name, and the man fires a gun at me.
　The man let go of Miu's shoulder and came closer to me.

"Who are you talking to?
"Huh?

　Who are you talking to? ...... I don't know this guy. ...... Is he famous?
　Not liking my attitude, the man glared at me even harder.

Apparently, you don't understand .......
Huh, .......

　As I was thinking that the atmosphere had become rather swift, the man suddenly attacked me.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm not sure what to say.

　I was surprised by the sudden punch, but it was much slower than the Goblin Elite or Goblin General.
　And I had no taste for being beaten silently, so my body reacted on its own.
　I caught the fist that flew at my face with my right palm and twisted the man's arm to bring it behind his back and set him down on the spot.

He twisted the man's arm and brought him down on his back.
"Wow. ......

　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.　It's not my fault, is it?　If the other party is handsome, and the handsome man is innocent and I am guilty, I will cry.　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.


　As I was thinking about this nonsense in my brain, the man who had been knocked down by me screamed.

I've been boxing for years!　How did that happen so quickly ......!

　No, I don't know.
　I don't know if the man was a boxer or not, and I can't tell from his punches. I can't tell if a man has been boxing or not by looking at his punches, because they all look the same. Because they are all slower than the Goblin General and the like. ......
　However, I wonder if Miu was in a hurry because she knew the man was a boxer.　However, when she emphasized this, I wondered if she had solved everything by force.
　As I was feeling a bit disheartened, Hikaru-san crouched down under the man and said with a very nice smile, "I don't think you're violent.

If you're going to be violent, your life in the entertainment industry is over, isn't it?　Even if you're not a celebrity, it's still a crime.　I'm sorry to hear that. ......
What?　I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to do.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.　Should I be prepared to cry?
　But there was no need for me to cry.
　Hikaru-san smiled devilishly and showed the man the camera in his hand.

I've recorded the whole thing up until just now, handsome.
"d*mn it!

　The man fiercely resisted on the spot, but finally gave up when my body didn't budge, and was finally taken away by the staff.

I'm not sure I ever thought I'd have such a bad time at the ...... end of the day!　But ...... Yuuya is very strong, isn't he?　It seems that he had a good record in boxing,.......
It's just a coincidence!　Hahahahaha .......

　I can't tell you. You can't say that you're working out in another world.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

"Are you okay?
What?　Oh ...... thank you for that ......!

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　I wasn't sure if I should say something too!
No, ...... that person has been pestering me a lot lately, so I'm glad I could help!

　What's so scary about that?
　Did that person also act like a stalker?

I'd like to thank you again ...... for today, even though the atmosphere was a bit strange. I hope we can meet again somewhere.
Yes!　Thank you very much, Yuuya-san!
"Thank you for today, Yuuya-kun!

　As I left the place, I looked back at what had just happened.
　When I was suddenly asked to be a model, I didn't know what to do, but it turned out to be a great experience and I'm really glad I did.
　It turned out to be a good experience, and I'm really glad I did, because the clothes were apparently chosen by a professional without me having to choose them.
　I don't know what's going to happen to that man, but I'm afraid of the entertainment industry.
　I can't help but think that.
