A few days after the event at the Student Council Room, I was contacted to confirm the photo shoot schedule, so I decided to have a meeting again in the Student Council Room.
I didnât know why, but the members of the Student Council were anxiously watching over the meetingâŠâŠÂ Do all of you need to watch over me?
And, the office workerâŠ, a woman with pink hair started talking with a smile.
âIâm sorry to have kept you waiting.â
âI havenât waited that long.â
âEveryone involved in this pamphlet making was enthusiastic and the work went very fast.â
ââŠâŠWell, isnât that good?â
âYeah, everyone was so excited, and the workplace was filled with enthusiasm!â
âIâm sorry if Iâm rude, but I donât know why youâre all so excited.â
What kind of environment is the office work that could makes you so excited and full of enthusiasm?! I would like to take a look.
I mean, the work is making a school brochure, isnât it? Even if a manâs photo going to be included, itâs just a normal photo, not a lewd photo, right? So, what you get excited about?
âŠâŠÂ youâre not going to ask me to get naked and do some pose with a good smileâŠâŠ right?
Well, even if you ask me to do that, I wonât do itâŠ
âWell, even just seeing the photo shoot is more than enough to make us happy you know!â
Is it like looking at a picture of an idol? If itâs just the face, Iâm confident that mine is better than the idol⊠if itâs just the face!
âAt work, a lot are fans of Hatano-san.â
âIâm not an idol thoughâŠâ
âThe way they call your name are various too. such as the one who prefer the âadult lover playâ calls you Kohaku without any honorific, the one who prefer the âlovely lover playâ calls you Kohaku-chan, and the one who prefer the âslightly dangerous playâ calls you Kohaku-tan.â
âThe photo thatâs supposedly for school guide, what are you people going to use it forâŠ?â
âHahahaâ
The woman only answered my question with a laugh.
I mean, what do you mean by âplayâ?! Youâre not going to print the photo, stick it to a hug pillow and sell it, right? Well, if you just make it for yourself and use it, I canât stop it âŠ
So, letâs say you make it for yourself and enjoying it as if itâs your loverâŠ. Well, in my previous life, there were men who do thatâŠ
Somehow, the thing I could imagine from that⊠a sad scene⊠and also it sounds like what a freak would do.
Wait, if I the girl is a beautiful girl or woman, it will be⊠kind of okay, I guess?
Let imagine it again.
Yeah, itâs still the same! Rather, I feel sadder because the one whoâs doing it is a beautiful girl.
âŠâŠÂ In conclusion, neither has a future⊠only a sad life waiting for themâŠ
âAnd soâŠâ
Oops, I have to listen properly.
The pink-haired woman talked about the photo session.
âThere are many students taking photos on weekdays, so I would like to take the photos on holidays âŠâ
âHow about that?â, The woman asked with an apologetic face.
So, I need to go to school on a holiday, huh? Itâs a little troublesome, but I guess it canât be helped. They also need to go on a holiday tooâŠ
âWell, it canât be helped. Thatâs fine.â
âAh, as expected Hatano-san is like an angelâŠ! Iâll tell the other staffs about this too!â
Hmm, I know, itâs their job, so she has to tell other people too⊠but the nuances seem differentâŠ? What do you mean by âabout this tooâ?! What else are you telling them! This PinkâŠ!
â⊠Please donât tell them anything unnecessary.â
âBut, I have never told them anything unnecessary?â
The woman looked at me the face saying, âI am innocent though?â, but I couldnât trust her at all.
âWell okay⊠no, itâs not okay, but for now itâs okay.â
âHuh âŠ?â
âSo, when you say holiday, is it the next Saturday or Sunday?â
âNo, the photographer said itâs on the next week Saturday. Is your schedule okay?â
âYes, itâs okay, but⊠is the photographer that busy?â
I mean, if you ask the company, it is unlikely that there is only one photographerâŠÂ Well, it may depend on the company you request though.
âNo really, just that I asked a famous person because this is a rare chance.â
âI think youâre too enthusiastic about thisâŠâ
âThe photographer is the one who had taken the most photos of men in this country, and also who has a reputation for being able to bring out the most beautiful of the men when the photo was taken.â
â⊠Itâs really a picture of the school guide, right?â
Iâm not the most important, right? Itâs the school, right? Youâre not going to forget to take pictures of the school buildings and its facilitiesâŠright?â
To my question, the pink-haired woman smiled and answered calmly,
âItâs okayâ
âŠâŠ But, my question was whether itâs a picture of the school guide or not.
I only felt uneasy about the answer. Even with a gentle smile, I felt that the smile is somewhat suspicious.
By modeling, the number of Kenran High School examinees would increase.
If that really happened, I would be happy too. But what I was worried about was whether the school guide would be decent or not.
It was also because of this meeting. This meeting made me think that I was making a photo book with a school as the background, rather than making a pamphlet for school information.
It should be okay, right?⊠pleaseâŠ
I just hope the completed pamphlet will not have âKohaku Hatano, 15 years oldâ in the titleâŠ
