No wait, interested in the entertainment world, you said

I can only be left dumbfounded by Kurosawa-sans too sudden words. Why me in the first place? I know I got carried away earlier, but if they knew my name, then they must have been looking for me from the beginning I didnt know how the people at the entertainment agency knew who I was.

Then, as if sensing my feelings, Kurosawa-san continued with a blank expression on his face.

As a matter of fact, the agency I work for has Miu, who did a photoshoot with Yuuya-san in the past, and also the photographer, Hikari. And when the director heard about Yuuya-san from them, she said she wanted you to join us Ah, the one behind me is the director.

H-huh

To my surprise, it seems that the conversation came about because of the connection between me, Miu-san, and Hikari-san. This was a big surprise to me because I thought I would no longer have anything to do with modeling sessions.

I almost let it slide, but the person behind Kurosawa-san is the director of the company? She hasnt said a word to me since a while ago, but the boss herself came to me? But sure, shes got her arms crossed the whole time, and she looks like a big shot with some sense of comfort. Maybe its just a prejudice.

I-isnt that amazing, Yuuya! Its the entertainment world, you know?

T-thats right, Yuuya-kun! You were really cool in that picture!

Ryo and the others, who were just as surprised as I was, came back to their senses and said so with excitement.

Well, Yuuya has a different aura, you know. I thought you would definitely enter the entertainment world one day, but

I-its rather amazing that youve made it this far in obscurity

Oh, indeed. Ive never heard of a guy like Yuuya before. Even though the high school and junior high school that Yuuya went to before was in a neighborhood close to my junior high school.

I didnt get the kind of story Ryo was talking about because I only recently got this look in the first place, and its not like it cant be helped or anything More than that, I didnt know there was a fresh and cool boy like Ryo either, so I guess theres not as much talk of such people in the area as people think.

As I was convinced by myself, Kurosawa-san, still expressionless as ever, asked me nonchalantly.

So, Yuuya-san. What do you think? Are you interested in the entertainment industry?

Uhm well Im sorry. Im happy to hear about it, but it was too sudden I cant decide so easily. Im sorry

When I said that and bowed my head, Kurosawa-sans eyebrows moved for a moment, and Ryo and the others widened their eyes. When I looked closely, I could see that the director, who was standing behind Kurosawa-san with her arms crossed, was also surprised.

Yu-Yuuya! Are you sure? Its the entertainment industry, you know?

Y-you might even get to know some of the idols and voice actors on TV, you know? If that happens, please introduce them to me!

Arent you being too hasty, Shingo-kun?

I dont know much about idols and voice acting, but its rare to see Shingo-kun getting excited like that. Ryo is also slightly surprised. Then the director, who had been silent until now, looked a little impatient and opened her mouth for the first time.

H-hey! Are you really going to turn this down? The entertainment industry that everyone dreams about. Moreover, our agency has been doing great business lately, and its got a lot of potential!

Its true that as Ryo, Shingo-kun, and you said, the entertainment industry may be everyones dream, but I havent found what I want to do in the future yet. I at least think that I want to do something that I can say, This is it! from the bottom of my heart. And Im here now with my friends. Im happy to be able to spend time in high school in a normal way. Im hoping to enjoy these times more. Well, most importantly, I dont think Im going to do better if I go into the entertainment industry

Ive been able to level up in another world and enjoy my life now.

Maybe you might say that I should challenge myself because I havent decided what I want to do yet, but I dont think I can say Im going to quit irresponsibly once Ive started. I dont know how Ill be spending my time in the future, but I just want to think about it a little bit more now that Ive got the time to do it this way, I need to carefully think about it.

Receiving my words, Ryo and the others gave a bitter smile.

Huh I think Yuuya will succeed for sure but well, its true that once youre in the entertainment industry, you wont be able to go back to the carefree Yuuya like this, and we will miss you as well, and above all, I think its best for you to do what you want to do.

I-it seems like a waste, but if thats what you think, Yuuya-kun, then well respect that.

It was really nice to hear what Ryo and the others had to say because all my life has been in denial until now.

Uhm I was delighted to hear your story. But I cant think about being in the entertainment industry right now or anything like that. Im sorry.

Then I bowed to Kurosawa-san and the director. The director then looked dismayed and pulled Kurosawa-san a little further away and began to consult with him.

Hey, wait, Kurosawa! This is so wrong!

Director. Whats wrong? Isnt this scouting thing the director started saying?

S-shut up! Just do something about it!

Yes.

Having decided enough with the consultation, Kurosawa-san came to me again and told me nonchalantly with a blank expression.

Then, Ill give up on scouting.

Eh?

Hey, Kurosawa!

The director is appalled behind Kurosawa-san, but Kurosawa-san doesnt seem to be paying any attention to her.

What is it?

Oh, no, I mean I was admitted so quickly, too

Maybe Kurosawa-san and the others arent looking for me as much as Ryo and the others are making a fuss about, after all. If its the kind of person they really want, theyre likely to try to do more to get the job done but the director-san has been saying something to Kurosawa-san all the time, but is it okay?

Anyway, Kurosawa-sans reaction made me feel embarrassed that I was thinking so seriously Im so self-conscious, arent I? While I was blushing involuntarily, Kurosawa-san told me without hesitation.

Theres nothing assertive about it; I was told by the director to make contact with you, not about bringing you into the entertainment industry without fail. But I belong to an entertainment agency myself, so I just scouted you out.

Dont be such a sophism! If I told you to make contact, its just normal for you to scout him as well!

The words of Kurosawa-san that I didnt expect were appalling to me. No, I mean I think the words of the director of the company are normal. Still, Kurosawa-san is amazing to say something like that.

Director. Please think about it carefully. If you were forcing him to enter the entertainment industry, and people found out about it, they would blame you. Every agency is trying to kick other agencies out after all. I dont think its a good idea to give them an opening like that here.

B-but, its the entertainment industry, you know? What kind of a young boy wouldnt jump at that?

Isnt it because hes not like a normal boy that we just got rejected?

Eh? Did he just say Im not normal? Appalled by Kurosawa-sans nonchalant words, the directors face twisted in frustration as if she couldnt give up.

Then a woman approached from behind the director-san and Kurosawa-san.

Director, please dont force Yuuya-san to do too much.

Mi-Miu-san?

To my surprise, the person who interceded with Kurosawa-san and the others was Miu-san, who belongs to the directors agency.

H-hey, even Miu, too! You are the one who asked for Yuuya-kun to be scouted, arent you?

That may be so, but I dont think its a good idea to force Yuuya-san to join us now that hes clearly refused us.

Gununu.

Kurosawa-san nodded at Miu-sans opinion, and the director groaned.

A-amazing even the popular model Miu-san is here for Yuuya

Y-yeah, I know they were together in the previous photoshoot, but I cant believe I got to see the real one

Apart from the director, Ryo and the others were impressed with Miu-san. It seems that Miu-san is a very famous model, so shes not someone who would normally have had her picture taken with someone like me Im really lucky to work with someone like that.

As I was silently feeling that way, the director showed me that she had come up with something.

T-thats right! How about a magazine feature project then?

What?

F-feature?

What made me wonder how such an alternative came about? Ryo and Shingo-kun looked at each other and tilted their heads, just as I did. Despite our bewilderment, the director continued with a proud face.

You had your picture taken with my Miu before, and it was published in a magazine. You may not be a member of any agency, but youve already stepped into the entertainment industry.

H-huh

However, youre still a civilian. So Im going to change the concept a bit.

U-um I do not understand your story at all?

What does it all mean exactly? How does this go hand in hand with the idea of a feature?

Youre students of the Ousei Gakuen, right?

Y-yes.

Speaking of Ousei Gakuen, the school puts a lot of effort into school festivals, athletic festivals, and various other events. Isnt there going to be a ball game tournament soon?

Yes but how did you know that?

Its only natural to look into things when youre scouting, right?

Eh, is that how it was? What about my privacy?

This is a bit of a digression, but since its a special feature on the Ousei Gakuen, I thought Id do a big feature on that ball game for the magazine.  [A big sneak into the ball game of the super prestigious school, Ousei Gakuen!]. What do you think of the article?

Eehh!?

I-I kind of understand the theory, but

Um excuse me, but youre from the entertainment agency, right? Can you do a feature on a magazine like that?

Then Ryo, who had been listening to us, said one question. S-surely.

Ara, dont make fun of us. These days, idols, voice actors, video games, and almost anything else in the industry can be turned into magazines. Besides, my office has a messenger to publishers, of course. I can use that to get as many features as I want.

Were going to have to negotiate for that, though

Its your job.

Kurosawa-san said that with a somewhat puzzled look on his face, but the director didnt seem to be bothered at all.

So, what do you think? This way, we can take you on regardless of the entertainment industry or anything like that, right?

Uhm

I dont know if its fair to say that I was scouted in the first place I wonder if I can just say no to that and then just feature it. Maybe its not something I can properly decide, though. And Im sorry that they came all this way for me and ended up with me refusing. I mean. no, I cant. Im so indecisive

Nevertheless, I honestly told the director how I felt right now.

Well about the feature, if it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, Ill do my best to cooperate with you. Its just that its a school matter, and Im not the one who can decide

I dont know how far she got the message, but when I told her how I felt, the directors eyes lit up.

Thats all I need to hear! Kurosawa!

Yes.

Make an appointment with the Ousei Gakuen director right now!

Its too much trouble for me, why cant the president do it herself?

Isnt it about time you had to get to work? Im your boss, after all! Anyway, the director of that school is a very understanding person, so if you tell him that Yuuya-kun is cooperating with us, he will probably give his permission!

Okay I understand.

Kurosawa-san walks towards the school with a really uncomfortable expression on his face. Ah the appointment isnt with a phone call, theyre instead heading to the school directly

Yuuya-kun.

Y-yes.

Now, if the school director allows it, youll cooperate, right?

Yes, but, as I said before, Im not going into the entertainment industry. Im an amateur at being photographed, so I dont know anything about that, is it okay with you?

You dont need to worry about that. As a matter of fact, were going to make it a special feature on the Ousei Gakuen; its not a good idea to take a strangely conscious picture. Well, but once we get it in our place, we can do whatever we want with it later on.

Eh?

No? This is just our story. In the meantime, Im waiting for the directors approval, so Ill withdraw this time.

The director said that much and turned her back on us

Well, Ill see you later.

She left just like that. Then Miu-san gave me an apologetic look.

Yuuya-san, Im sorry for getting you into trouble. The director really wanted to know about Yuuya-san

N-no, dont worry about it. 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.

Im grateful to hear you say that.

Miu-san said and left in the same direction as the director. Looking after that figure, Ryo, Shingo-kun, and I looked at each other.

Well, its kind of a big talk, huh.

T-thats right. For starters, it goes from just Yuuya-kun to the entire school

I-Im sorry about that, okay?

No need to apologize! Im rather excited to see how theyre going to take my picture.

Yeah. Im looking forward to it.

Its gotten a lot bigger for me personally, but Ryo and the others laughed and even said 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 he wants to cooperate with them, and Kurosawa-sans agency will officially come to take pictures at the ball game tournament.
