I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#16.Scouts
“No wait, interested in the entertainment world, you said.”.
I can only be made dumbfounded by Kurosawa-san's words which are too sudden. Why am I in the first place? I know I got carried away before, but if they knew my name, then they would have been looking for me from the beginning.
Then, as if feeling my feelings, Kurosawa-san continued with a blank expression on her face.
“In fact, the agency I worked for had Miu, who had done a photo shoot with Yuuya-san, as well as her photographer, Hikari. And when the director heard about Yuuya-san from them, he said he wanted you to join us... Ah, the one behind me is the director.”
“H-huh..”.
To my surprise, it seems like the conversation happened because of the relationship between me, Miu-san, and Hikari-san. It was a big surprise for me because I thought I would no longer have anything to do with the modeling sessions.
I almost let it go, but the person behind Kurosawa-san is the director of the company? He hasn't said a word to me since a while ago, but the boss himself came to me? But of course, he crossed his arms all the time, and he looked like a great person with a sense of comfort. Maybe it was just prejudice.
“A-isn't that awesome, Yuuya! It's a world of entertainment, you know?”
“I-that's right, Yuuya-kun! You are really cool in that photo!”
Ryo and the others, who were as surprised as I was, regained their senses and said it excitedly.
“Yeah, Yuuya has a different aura, you know. I thought you would definitely enter the entertainment world someday, but.”.
"I-it's rather amazing that you have succeeded so far in obscurity ..."
“Oh, indeed. I've never heard of a man like Yuuya before. Although the middle school and junior high school that Yuuya visited earlier were in a neighborhood close to my first high school.”
I didn't understand the kind of story Ryo was talking about because I had just seen this look, and instead wanted to how else, I didn't know there were fresh and cool boys like Ryo, so I guess there wasn't as much talk about people like that in the area as people think.
As I was reassured by myself, Kurosawa-san, still expressionless as usual, asked me nonchalantly.
“So, Yuuya-san. Whaddya think? Are you interested in the entertainment industry?”
“Uhm. I was happy to hear it, but it was too sudden. I'm sorry…"
As I said that and lowered my head, Kurosawa-san's brows moved for a moment, and Ryo and the others widened their eyes. When I took a closer look, I could see that the director, who was standing behind Kurosawa-san with his hands crossed, was also shocked.
“Yu-Yuya! Are you sure? It's the entertainment industry, you know?”
“K-You might even know some idols and voice actors on TV, you know? If that happens, please introduce them to me!”
"Are you in no hurry, Shingo-kun?"
I don't know much about idols and voice acting, but it's rare to see Shingo-kun as excited as that. Ryo was also a little surprised. Then the director, who had been silent until now, looked a little impatient and opened his mouth for the first time.
“H-hey! Are you really going to reject this? The entertainment industry that everyone dreams of. What's more, our agency has been doing great business lately, and has a lot of potential.!”.
“It's true as Ryo, Shingo-kun, and you say, the entertainment industry might be everyone's dream, but I haven't found what I want to do in the future. At least I thought that I wanted to do something I could say, "Here it is!" from the bottom of my heart. And I'm here now with my friends. I was happy to be able to spend time in high school in a normal way. I hope to enjoy these moments more. Well, most importantly, I don't think I'd do better if I got into the entertainment industry .. ”
I can already level up in another world and enjoy my life now.
Maybe you might say that I have to challenge myself because I haven't decided what I want to do, but I don't think I can say that I will stop irresponsibly once I start. I don't know how I will spend my time in the future, but I just want to think about it a little more, I need to think about it carefully.
Receiving my words, Ryo and the others smiled bitterly.
“Huh... I thought Yuuya would definitely succeed but....well, it is true that once you are in the entertainment industry, you will not be able to return to the carefree Yuuya like this, you will not be able to return to Yuuya, and we'll miss you too, and above all, I think it's best for you to do what you want to do.”
“S-it seems pointless, but if that's what you think, Yuuya-kun, then we will respect it.”
It was nice to hear what Ryo and the others said because all my life in denial until now.
“Uhm. But I can't think about being in the entertainment industry right now or anything like that. I'm sorry."
Then I bowed to Kurosawa-san and the director. The director then looked disappointed and pulled Kurosawa-san a little further and began to consult him.
“Hey, wait, Kurosawa! This is so wrong!"
"Directors. What's wrong? Isn't this the scouting thing the director started saying? ”
“D-silence! Just do something about it!”
"Yes." Yeah."
After quite deciding with a consultation, Kurosawa-san came up to me again and told me nonchalantly with a blank expression.
"Then, I'll give up on scouting."
“Eh?”
“Hei, Kurosawa!”
The director was surprised behind Kurosawa-san, but Kurosawa-san did not seem to notice him.
"What's that?"
“Oh, no, I mean.. I was accepted so quickly too..”.
Maybe Kurosawa-san and the others aren't looking for me as much as Ryo and the others fuss. If it was the type of person they really wanted, they would most likely try to do more to get the job done, but is it okay?
By the way, Kurosawa-san's reaction made me feel embarrassed because I thought so seriously? While I blushed involuntarily, Kurosawa-san told me without hesitation.
“Nothing is firm about that; I was told by the director to "make contact" with you, not about taking you into the entertainment industry without fail. But I myself belong to an entertainment agency, so I just looked for you.”
“Don't sofism like that! If I tell you to make contact, it's normal for you to stalk him too!
Kurosawa-san's words that I didn't expect were terrible for me. No, I mean. I think the company director's words are normal. Still, Kurosawa-san was amazing to say such a thing.
"Directors. Please think carefully. If you force him to enter the entertainment industry, and people find out, they will blame you. In any case, every agency is trying to expel another agency. I don't think it's a good idea to give them an opening like that here. ”
“T-but, this is the entertainment industry, you know? What kind of young man wouldn't jump just like that?”
"Isn't it because he's not like the normal boy we just rejected?"
Eh? Did he just say I wasn't normal? Surprised by Kurosawa-san's indifferent words, the director's face turned frustrated as if he couldn't give up.
Then a woman approached from behind the director-san and Kurosawa-san.
“Director, please don't force Yuuya-san to do too much.”
"Mi-Miu-san?"
To my surprise, the one who mediated with Kurosawa-san and the others was Miu-san, who was from the director's agency.
“H-hey, even Miu too! You're the one who asked Yuuya-kun to be stalked, right?”
“Maybe so, but I don't think it's a good idea to force Yuuya-san to join us now because she obviously rejected us.”
“Gununu.”
Kurosawa-san nodded at Miu-san's opinion, and the director groaned.
“M-stunning..even the popular model Miu-san is here for Yuuya..”.
“Y-yes, I knew they were together in the previous shoot, but I can't believe I can see the real one..”.
Besides the director, Ryo and the others were impressed with Miu-san. It seems that Miu-san is a very famous model, so she is not someone who usually takes pictures with people like me.
As I secretly felt that way, the director showed me that he had found something.
“I-it's right! Then what about the magazine feature project?”
“F-features?”
What makes me wonder how such an alternative came about? Ryo and Shingo-kun looked at each other and tilted their heads, just like I did. Despite our confusion, the director continued with a proud face.
“You've taken a picture with my Miu before, and it was published in a magazine. You may not be a member of any agency, but you have already stepped into the entertainment industry.”
“H-huh..”.
“However, you are still a civilian. So I'll change the concept a little.”
“U-um... I don't understand your story at all..?”
What is the true meaning of all that? How does this go along with the idea of a feature?
“You're Ousei Gakuen's student, right?”
“Y-ya.”
“Talking about Ousei Gakuen, the school is trying hard in school festivals, athletic festivals, and various other events. Won't there be a soccer tournament anytime soon?”
"Yes ... But how do you know that?"
"It's natural to look at things when you're scouting, right?"
Uh, like that? What about my privacy?
“It's a little distorted, but since this is a special feature in Ousei Gakuen, I thought I'd do a great feature on that ball game for the magazine. [A great sneak into the ball game of the prestigious super school, Ousei Gakuen!] . What do you think of that article?”
“EEh!?”
I kind of understand the theory, but…
“Um... Excuse me, but you're from an entertainment agency, right? Can you make a feature in a magazine like that?”
Then Ryo, who had been listening to us, said one question. P-definitely.
“Ara, don't make fun of us. Today, idols, voice actors, video games, and just about anything else in the industry can be turned into magazines. In addition, my office has an envoy to the publisher, of course. I can use it to get as many features as I want.”
“But we have to negotiate for it..”.
“That's your job.”
Kurosawa-san said that with a somewhat confused expression on her face, but the director didn't seem to care at all.
"So what do you think? This way, we can take you regardless of the entertainment industry or something like that, right? ”
“Ehm..”.
I don't know if it's fair to say that I was scouted from the start. I wonder if I can say no to it and then display it. Maybe it's not something I can decide right. And I'm sorry that they came this far for me and ended up rejecting me. I mean.. no, I can't. I'm so hesitant…
Nevertheless, I honestly told the director how I felt at the moment.
“Yah... about that feature, if it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, I will do my best to cooperate with you. It's just that it's a school matter, and it's not me who can decide.”.
I don't know how far he got the message, but when I told him how I felt, the director's eyes lit up.
“That's all I need to hear! Kurosawa!”
"Yes." Yeah."
“Create an appointment with director Ousei Gakuen now!”
“It was too troublesome for me, why can't the president do it himself?”
“Isn't it time you got to work? I'm your boss anyway! After all, the director of the school is a very understanding person, so if you tell him that Yuuya-kun is cooperating with us, he will probably give his permission!”
"All right, I understand."
Kurosawa-san walked towards the school with a very uncomfortable expression on her face. Ah.. His promise is not by phone, instead directly to school…
“Yuuya-kun.”
“Y-ya.”
“Now, if the school director allows it, you will cooperate, right?”
“Yes, but as I said before, I will not plunge into the entertainment industry. I'm an amateur in being photographed, so I don't know anything about that, do you agree?”
“You don't have to worry about that. In fact, we'll make it a special feature in Ousei Gakuen; it's not a good idea to take a strangely aware picture. …Well, but once we get it in our place, we can do whatever we want with it later.”
“Eh?”
"no? It's just our story. In the meantime, I am waiting for the director's approval, so I will step down this time. ”
The director said that a lot and turned his back on us…
“Yeah, see you later.”
He just left. Then Miu-san looked at me with an apologetic look.
“Yuuya-san, I'm sorry for getting you in trouble. Director is very curious about Yuuya-san.”.
“T-no, don't worry about that. Besides, maybe this will change some of my own feelings about things again.”.
I said that sincerely, and Miu-san smiled as if she was relieved.
“I'm grateful to hear you say that. ”
Miu-san said and went in the same direction as the director. Seeing that figure, Ryo, Shingo-kun, and I looked at each other.
“...Well, that's kind of a big talk, yes.”
“I-it's right. For starters, from just Yuuya-kun to the entire school.”.
"I-I'm sorry about that, okay?"
"No need to apologize! I'm kind of excited to see how they'll take my photos.”
"Yes. I can't wait for that."
It became much bigger for me personally, but Ryo and the others laughed and even said that they were looking forward to it.
...
...
What remains to be decided is what the school director will do…
The rest is up to the board director, Tsukasa-san, if she wants to cooperate with them, and Kurosawa-san's agency will officially come to take pictures at the ball game tournament.
