The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 48

“Hey, Taketo-kun. Do you also work as a model?”

Sachiko (Makino)-san is surprised, saying it’s the first time she’s heard of it, and everyone else is wide-eyed too.

“Well, I only did it once because Aikawa-san asked me to.”

I can’t just say, “I did modeling once, so I’m a model.” By the way, I gave a poster to Kaori-san.

“The response to that one time was astonishingly amazing.”

At that time, she casually reached out to me, thinking it would create some buzz. To her surprise, it got more attention than expected, and she got a bit carried away and released a few new pieces, but they apparently didn’t sell at all.

When I was living solely as a model, I didn’t think it would be this tough, she said with a gloomy face, but still, owning my own brand and store was a dream, so I don’t regret it… she continued.

——A dream…

Since I remembered my past life, I’ve been so busy every day that I never even thought about it… So, it was a dream…

“Understood. If I can be of help, then that’s fine with me.”

“Really! Thank you, Taketo-kun. Let’s get going right away.”

Hey, Aikawa-san. Don’t pull me. I mean, weren’t we supposed to come here to eat? Huh? You had your seventh drink after finishing your meal? You can still have two more? Is that so… then hurry up and drink. Everyone else is staying here… huh? Everyone’s coming with us? Then let’s all go together…

*****

“Oh, isn’t that Taketo-kun! Come in!”

As soon as I entered Aikawa-san’s shop, I was led to the back, where Shoka-san, who had done my makeup last time, and the filming team were waiting for me.

Shoka-san is a plump person, just like a clothing store… hehe.

Nanako-san looks at me and nods. Oh? Could it be that Nanako-san can use telepathy or something? This time, Nanako-san gives a thumbs up.

What?! My inner voice was completely leaking to Nanako-san?

“Hmm, that’s a bit off. I can only hear the words Taketo-kun sent.”

It means that the words I wanted to convey are just that…

“Yes.”

No, I’m not planning to tell you right now.

“Sometimes, people who have telepathy experience things like that.”

“I see.”

Huh, but I can’t hear Nanako-san’s voice…

[I like Taketo-kun…]

Huh? I heard something from Nanako-san. But I’m more curious about the content than the voice.

When I hurriedly turned around, Nanako-san was cutely making a peace sign.

“Nanako-san…”

“Yeah, I wanted to eat sukiyaki. You heard me, right?”

Saying it’s quite convenient while smiling.

“…Just a little.”

Oh, I was so surprised.

“Let’s all eat together next time.”

“Yeah, but I think I’d prefer it to get colder first. Huh? What about everyone else?”

While I was talking with Nanako-san about telepathy, everyone disappeared.

Of course, Nanako-san is also looking around nervously, but Shoka-san appears from nowhere and waves her hand.

“This way.”

Then, just like last time, my eyebrows were neatly groomed, light makeup was applied, and my hair was styled.

The clothes that were prepared seem to be new arrivals, but they feel a bit plain; however, they are not uncomfortable to wear.

“”””Taketo-kun.””””

I put on the new clothes, take a photo, change into another new outfit, and take another photo. After repeating this a few times, someone called out to me.

——Hmm? Who?

I thought they were a person I didn’t know, but when I looked closely, it was Tsukune-san, Sachiko-san, Saori-san, and Nanako-san in disguise as boys.

Tsukune-san and Sachiko-san looked like cute, fluffy boys. Saori-san and Nanako-san looked like cool, sharp men. They had undergone a dramatic transformation with makeup.

Since all four of them have breasts, I can tell they’re women, but I wonder if they might be more popular than clumsy men.

“I didn’t recognize you right away… Everyone looks so cool now.”

“Kyah.”

“Lean muscular.”

“Taketo-kun’s nakedness.”

“Oh.”

Suddenly, the four people cover their noses and lean back.

——Ah…

I found it troublesome to go back to the changing room to put on and take off clothes, so I was changing in the corner of the filming set. While talking with everyone, I unconsciously took off my jacket.

“I’m sorry, sorry. I got lazy about going back to the changing room, so I changed here.”

“Well, we’re fine, but…”

Despite saying that, they keep glancing over here.

“Taketo-kun, how about taking a picture with all of them next time… eek!”

Just when I thought Aikawa-san had come over, she looked at me and collapsed. Ah, come to think of it, Aikawa-san collapsed last time too.

Well, there were various incidents, but we managed to finish the shoot safely. It took about four hours, as expected.

I felt it was easier this time (physically) because everyone was there. Although they are all exhausted.

The photoshoot with the girls in their cross-dressing outfits also became a great memory.
