- Chapter 53: Idle Talk (Manager Aikawa's Perspective)
It has been a year since we launched our own brand “Motivate,” and sales in the past month have reached an all-time high.
“This is also thanks to Taketo-kun and those kids.”
Both the store sales and the online shop were doing well. I’m really glad we were able to sign a contract with Taketo-kun as an exclusive model again.
I think I’m probably the first one to sign a modeling contract with a man. Hehe, I did well. I want to praise myself.
I was told repeatedly that I was not cut out to be a model, but after two weeks of going there every day, I finally got the okay.
Taketo-kun, who doesn’t get angry even when I’m persistent, is really kind. I wonder if he’ll marry me in the future. If not, just having his children would be fine too.
Even Taketo-kun, who was wryly smiling and saying “It can’t be helped,” was cute.
…But that woman from the field sometimes goes into Taketo-kun’s house. I wonder what their relationship is. She has a perfectly proportioned body, with curves in all the right places… Oops, it’s my bad habit to check out people’s styles since it’s part of my job.
Her chest was so big. If mine were that big, Taketo-kun would…
Before I knew it, I had added a bust-enhancing bra to my cart (online order) and clicked the purchase button.
——Ah…
And then, unexpectedly, or rather, more than we thought, the ones who sold well were the girls who were with Taketo-kun.
We’re doing cross-dressing as women! We tried a slightly unusual way of promoting ourselves by saying we’re having fun wearing men’s clothes, and it received quite a response.

“Ah, Manager Aikawa~!”
While I was checking the books, the part-time worker we had just hired rushed into the office.
“Kaho-chan, what’s wrong?”
“Um, Sawakaze Kazuya-kun…”
Kaho-chan points to the monitor for the security camera in the office.
“Hmm?”
Sawakaze Kazuya? Sawakaze Kazuya… Kazuya-kun!? When I looked at the security camera monitor, I saw the real Sawakaze Kazuya.
I’ve been busy lately and haven’t watched his videos, but there was a time when I watched his videos almost every day and felt my heart flutter, so I felt a little warmth deep inside. Oh no, what should I do?
“I was told to call the manager, so I hurried over.”
“Got it. I’ll go right away.”
*****
What is this?
I return to the store with Kaho-chan, the store is buzzing. The cause, of course, is him.
“I came because Aika said so, but this place is smaller than I expected.”
“The quality seems bad, are you really going to buy it here?”
“Huh? Are you my fan? Well, do you want an autograph? I guess I have to.”
He stared intently at the chest of one of the fans who approached him, and then suddenly started what seemed like a signing event.
“Ahaha, I won’t give you a signature unless you line up properly.”
Even though it was a signing event, it seemed he had prepared quite a few signed pieces of paper in advance. This was because there were six women who looked like staff members around him, skillfully managing things to prevent any confusion.
One of the women among them took out a lot of colored paper from her bag, and he received the colored paper and handed it directly to the fan… Oh! He touched her chest.
It’s not just a light touch; the moment the fan happily receives the colored paper with both hands, it’s a firm grasp.
The fan kid was also momentarily frozen, not understanding what had happened, but after receiving the autograph, they ran away as if fleeing.
It seems that the next child couldn’t see because they were standing behind, and the same thing happened to the next child, and then the next one too.
For those fans, there was always a staff-like woman chasing after them, handing them an envelope while talking. Maybe it’s hush money? Probably.
As I stood there, stunned by the incredible sight, a female staff member noticed me and approached.
“Are you the manager? I apologize for the disturbance. I am one of Sawakaze Kazuya’s wives, and my name is Rin…”
She introduced herself as Sawakaze Kazuya’s wife and claimed that the others accompanying her were also his wives.
It seems that today, she went to sign an exclusive model contract with the luxury brand “Mikudas” (whose headquarters are in this prefecture).
So, when I asked why they came to our shop without being rude, one of the wives was into cross-dressing girls and had looked up the shop’s location, so they stopped by a bit before heading home.
I can’t understand his behavior, but at least it doesn’t seem like he came just to mock.
Since the store wasn’t that big, the commotion inside settled down quickly.
“Hmm, so you’re the manager. Oh, you know about me, right?”
“Yes. You are Sawakaze Kazuya, correct?”
“That’s right. Today, Kyoko (one of my wives) said she wanted something from here, so I came all the way here for her, but it’s nothing special.”
He had the audacity to look at the poster of Taketo-kun and the new products lined up underneath it and snicker.
What the heck, this guy? I feel like an idiot for getting excited over his videos before.
“I see. I apologize for not meeting your expectations.”
So, I indirectly tell them to hurry up and go home.
“Well, for now, why don’t you change that model? If you want, I could do it instead… Oh, sorry, sorry. Actually, I can’t. I just signed an exclusive model contract with the high-end brand ‘Mikudas’ a moment ago. Haha, sorry about that.”
Even though I was giving off a “go home” vibe, he kept making sarcastic remarks, and just when my patience was running thin, one of the wives brought over about ten items and completed the purchase.
Since his wife came and apologized with a bow, I was somehow able to suppress my anger, but for now, I unsubscribed from his video channel.
It was a day when I once again realized that Taketo-kun was a wonderful man.
Damn. I was kinda hoping that he and Taketo could be friends, but nope. He’s probably a reincarnator or something similar to Taketo.
