While the story develops with Yuuya's ignorance, the Japanese trend is about a certain person.
"Hey, have you seen CutieBeauty this month?"
"I saw it! Who's the boy next to Miwa-chan!?”
“She looks like an ordinary person, but...she is really cool, isn't she?”
Yes, a fashion magazine that uses photos of Miwa and Yuuya models has been released.
There are many customers in the magazine where Miwa, a very popular model, is listed in it. They are mostly young women. But, their views were sidetracked by Yuuya who was taking pictures together with Miwa in the magazine.
“The photo shoot was probably done in a nearby shopping mall, but... I wonder if he's a local !?”
“He's the same age as us.. Most likely a high school student as well, right?”
“Eh!? In that case, I will be very jealous of the girls in the same school as him!”
“I might be a fan..”
“I mean, a smile is dangerous, right? The photographer's skills are also good!”
The subscriber is not only people who do not know Yuuya but of course some people also know him.
“Eh... Here, Yuuya-kun!?”
"No way, are you serious !?"
"Is he a special admissions student rumored to be?"
"Yes yes! He's in class with me, but he's so cool! She was amazing in gym class the other day!”
"Eh, tell me about it in detail!"
“I can't believe there's such a handsome guy.. To be honest, he looks better than any idol or actor I've ever seen on TV.”.
“Ah, I also think so!”
"No, you don't even have to compare."
It was known by the people of the same "Ousei Gakuen", but the topic of Yuuya was also in a certain scene .
“─ Miwa-chan!”
“Ah, Hikari-san! Good morning." Good morning."
"Good morning. Magazines with your photos and Yuuya-kun are in great demand right now, and it seems to be flooded with orders.”
“Eh!? I-is that really?”
The topic of Yuuya was again spread, even among Miwa and Hikari who had done a photo shoot with Yuuya.
“Yes, I've been a photographer for quite some time, but this is the first time that a magazine that contains my photos sells as well as this.”
“Excellent, Yuuya-san.”.
"What are you talking about? Miwa-chan's popularity is also increasing, right? The director also laughed a lot when he suddenly had a lot of work to do.”
“Ah-ahahaha..”
Miwa smiled bitterly as she imagined the director of the agency they were in.
“But Yuuya-kun is really amazing. Only one photo shoot of her had made much fuss in the community. Hows it? Miwa-chan's. Why don't you 'attack' Yuuya-kun now?”
“Eh!? Th-that's impossible! Yuuya-san is indeed very kind, and she had helped me when the male model harassed me, but... since she is so cool, she may already have a boyfriend.”.
“Ara, I don't know that. But, it's hard to find a good kid, so if you get the chance, try to 'attack' him. ”
Miwa tried to react to Hikari's words, but she left just like that, so she could only mutter.
“Jeez, Hikari-san. But if Yuuya-san does not have a boyfriend ”.
The story gets bigger and bigger without Yuuya knowing it. What will happen to her when she goes to school tomorrow.
***
It has been a while since I started attending “Ousei Gakuen”, but I felt more gazes towards me than usual. There were a lot of girls who turned their eyes towards me as well.
“T-wait! Isn't he the guy in the magazine!?
“Eh, no way! Isn't that Ousei Gakuen uniform!?”
“She looks cooler than in photos!”
“Thank God~, I can see it here.”
Some people had put their hands together while looking at me for some reason. Is there someone behind me?! Whatisit? How scary!? (T/N: Praying position.)
Then, one of the girls who saw me spoke to me.
“A-ano!”
"Yes?"
"Can we shake hands?"
“Eh!?”
S-shake hand? Whahuh? These. What's up with this situation?
I am confused by this absurd situation. Then, the other girls who were looking at me also came to me at once.
"I-I'm too, please!"
"Ah, you're not fair!"
“Can I take a picture?”
“Please, be my friend..!”
No, wait, I really don't know why!? Maybe... They think I'm someone? Moreover, I could not think of any other reason why the stranger asked me to shake hands, so I hurriedly rejected him.
“M-sorry. Maybe you mistook me for someone else! I-I.. I have to go now!”
"Aah!"
Feeling a little scared in a situation where I was suddenly surrounded by strangers, I went to school to escape. At school, when I walked in the corridor, somehow, many students also looked at me while whispering, so that the doubts within me were expanding. What the hell is going on here? …Could it be, my resume is open!? …No, it would be strange to ask such a person to shake hands.
I checked my pants, but there was nothing strange about it. It would be the end if I was told that it was strange. In the end, I arrived at the classroom knowing nothing and sat in my chair, but then, Kaede approached me excitedly.
“Ah, Yuuya-kun, Yuuya-kun! Good morning!"
"Good morning. You're excited in the morning, is something happening? ”
“I've always been like this, right? From that, look at this!”
“Eh?”
Kaede suddenly put a magazine on my desk.
"Here! This page! It was Yuuya-kun who was in the photo with Miwa-chan, right!?
“Ah yes, it's me. The book has been released..”.
Some time ago, I did a photo shoot with a model, Miwa-san, in a shopping mall.
…But when was this photo taken?
The one in the magazine was a picture of me and Miwa-san chatting happily on the bench. However, it was not the pose Hikari-san ordered; this scene was…
Kaede let out a small sigh as she was convinced while looking at the magazine alone.
“Haahh~... So, it really is Yuuya-kun, yes. This photo is very good.”
"Thul? Thank ye. But the skills of the photographer are excellent. And Miwa-san is also amazing.”
"No no No! That's because Yuuya-kun is in the photo with that Miwa-san, that's why the photo looks amazing!?”
Kaede said so, but if she looked at the shooting spot, she wouldn't be able to say it. My face and body are very tense.
Then, Kaede suddenly pointed at one of the photos while pouting on her cheek.
"But, isn't this a little too close?"
“Eh?”
The photo Kaede pointed to was one of the poses Miwa-san hugged.
"I know it's a job, but.. are you two dating?"
“Eh!? N-no, we don't!”
“Hmm... so.. you guys haven't dated, yes..”.
I hurriedly denied it, but looking towards Kaede, why did she look rather relieved ? And while I was talking to Kaede, many other students were also talking while looking at me.
"Look, look, it's Yuuya-kun!"
“The photos are cool, but still, the difference in experience is still visible.”
“Haahh... I thought she was cool, but I never thought she would do a photo shoot together with popular model Miwa-chan.”.
“But Yuuya-kun is very good. I somehow calmed down when I saw him talking to Ryo-kun and the others.”
"Tell me more about it!"
“Eh, a-what? You scared me…"
Looking at the classroom, I think there are a lot of students looking at magazines other than Kaede. Wait, did the person who asked me to shake hands while I was on my way to school also see the magazine?
But, did I really make an impact of this magnitude in just one shot? I am not a great model like Miwa-san. If someone wants to shake hands, then they should ask Miwa-san.
While I was thinking that, Ryo and Shingo-kun entered the classroom, and once they found me, they stormed me at high speed.
“Hei, Yuuya! I know that you are awesome! ”
"Excellent?"
"Yes, you're on TV!"
“Eh?”
I can only let out a stupid voice hearing Ryo's words. Me... on TV?
“No, no, stop joking. I don't remember ever appearing on TV.”
“I-that's right, you know. Who is the man in the photo with Miwa-san, the model whose popularity skyrocketed.”.
"…seriously?"
"i'm serious. Here, look!”
Ryo shows some news posted on the video site with his smartphone.
(── By the way, who is the man in the photo with Miwa-chan?)
(He was like a supernova that suddenly appeared.)
(Yes. The appearance was good, but the aura that could be seen even from the photo was slightly different from that of idols and actors, that elegance was not something that everyone could show. I can't believe it's just an ordinary person, let alone a beginner!)
(It's weird that there hasn't been a fuss about him until now.)
(People in the industry also want to bring it, don't they?)
(That's amazing, isn't it?)
I was amazed, seeing the video. This is ... is this really about me? Not anyone else?
“...As far as I can see how Yuuya is, I can't believe it's you..”.
“Eh, so?”
“T-but, Yuuya-kun, you completely froze..”.
I still don't understand, but I remember what happened this morning.
“...So that's why I was seen and spoken to by so many people this morning..”.
As I thought, it was very strange. I don't believe that one magazine has any influence on it, however, it's hard to imagine that it would create a situation where so many people call me. However, the story will change substantially if it is shown on TV like this.
As I watched the video on the smartphone completely dumbfounded, Kaede told me excitedly.
“It's amazing. Yuuya-kun has become a hot topic among the girls now!”
“I don't know why people are interested in topics about me like that. After all, I'm a nobody, I'm not an active idol either... First of all, why me?”
As I said so, the three people flashed expressions as if emptiness had penetrated them.
“Eh? What's wrong?"
“U-um, Yuuya? Are you serious about what you just said?”
"Yes." Yeah."
Hikari-san is really amazing. In addition to the photo on the bench, he can also make me look cool in other photos.
“Yu-Yuuya-kun.. Isn't your confidence too low?”
"I wonder? I think it's appropriate, but ... "
As everyone says, I think my appearance has changed. But I can't like myself. My previous appearance had been etched into my brain and was inseparable, and I had no idea how many times I wanted to get out of that body even if my appearance changed.
Youta and Sora, who should have the same blood as me, were blessed with their appearance, and it made me even more desperate. That's why I don't like myself very much.
...Well, unlike before, I've ranked a little bit from "absolutely hate" to "I don't like it very much". It's also thanks to me leveling up in a different world. It would be nice if I could build up my confidence little by little, but I did not believe that my sense of inferiority would suddenly disappear, and I could not immediately like myself.
With a somewhat dark expression on my face, Ryo said to me with a serious look.
“Yuya. I don't know what you've experienced in the past, but what would you do without admitting yourself?”
“Eh?”
“Means you should be more confident and honest with yourself!”
“...Can I be confident?”
"It's okay if you decide for yourself, right?"
“I'm not sure... but it's okay, right?”
"I'm not sure if you're not sure either ..."
“Ryo-kun, you don't have to worry about the details.” Kaede said.
“A-I will help you too. I understand that because I myself do not have the confidence.” Shingo-kun said.
…The school is really full of warm people. I felt my heart warm, hearing the words of these three people.
