The Transcendental Beauty Watches the Photoshoot

“See! They are here! I told you right?”

“Yes……it seems that it’s happening, the information wasn’t a fake after all.”

“Yeah! I didn’t get it wrong this time!”

“I see people here and there but it seems that there are not that many people here though.”

Under the clear sky on Thursday, Akira-chan and I went to the park near the mall where we heard that the shoot would take place.

Honestly, I thought that we would head straight to the pool but it seems that contrary to my expectation, the shoot is really happening.

A black car is parked in the parking lot next to the pool and a simple tent was set up just beyond the park square.

And when I glanced at the square, the models, Kamishiro Kousei AKA Hiura-kun and Asakura Asuka are being photographed.

Only a few people are watching them and it seems that the information Akira-chan got was not officially announced. I don’t know how their shooting location got leaked but I think that Akira-chan is amazing to be able to find such information.

“Look! He’s super cool……!!! Hau……Do you think it’s okay to take a picture!? Can I!?”

“You can’t!. It says here that taking photos of the shoot is strictly prohibited. We might get kicked out if you take out your camera you know.”

“That’s no good……! Ahh, I wish I could coincidentally run into him in the city and ask for a selfie……….can’t I have that kind of a chance meeting…….? Won’t he show up and rescue me too!?”

“……uhh, what are you looking at me like that for.”

Perhaps, it’s about when I told her that Hiura-kun, no, let’s call him Kamishiro Kousei here. Maybe it’s about when Kamishiro Kousei rescued me from that group of playboys.

She was only surprised when I told her about it at first but now she is looking at me with a pout.

“But Reika was rescued by him and he even walked you halfway home right!? …….if it was me I would have died from his gentlemanliness………”

“That’s certainly the case but isn’t it a bit too late getting conscious of it now……..Honestly speaking, he didn’t even admit that he’s Kamishiro Kousei back then and that was it. Besides, it was over a month ago so I don’t remember much about it now you know.”

“Ehh, No way! If it was me then I would ingrain every single detail into my brain you know!”

It is as Akira-chan said. In fact, that memory is pretty unforgettable. It’s the first time I have been treated like that and it left quite an impression on me. Ah, of course, it was a positive impression.

For me who was always treated as if I was someone special, it was refreshing to be treated like everyone else.

Speaking of which, Akira-chan was also treating me normally so I should describe it as the first time someone of the opposite sex treats me like a normal person.

Of course, I never wished to be treated specially like that. The people around me just started doing it on their own.

……no, I used to accept being treated like that as if it was natural as well.

Looking back on it now, I might have shared the blame too. But now that I am friends with Hiura-kun and Shiraki-san at school, people begin to stop being extra mindful and talk to me normally.

After I was helped by Kamishiro Kousei, my life was changed for the better when I got involved with Hiura-kun.

“They went back to the tent. Do you think they are done for today?”

“No, No! They must have gone in to change their outfit! They should have a lot of outfits for the autumn issues after all!”

“I see…….that’s true. The mood does change as well.”

Certainly, the magazine wouldn’t sell if they only featured the models in one outfit. If that’s the case then the shoot should continue for a while.

We have been watching them for a while and it seems that no one breaks the no picture rule yet but apparently, more and more people started to gather when the words spread on SNS.

At the set, Asakura Asuka tapped Kamishiro Kousei on his shoulder and pointed our way. Then, with a slightly surprised face, he waved at us.

“WAAA! Hey Reika! Did you see that!? He just waved our way right! You saw right!? He definitely just waved our way didn’t he!”

“Pl, please calm down! He just waved in this direction so it doesn’t mean that he waved specifically at us!”

“There’s no way that’s the case right! He did look surprised for a moment too. He must have remembered you, Reika!”

Since that’s Hiura-kun, it’s natural that he would be surprised to see us here so what Akira-chan said wasn’t wrong.

I don’t think that he is waving at any of us in particular but he must have been surprised by not only me but Akira-chan as well.

After that, the shoot resumed and there was no particular change. As I thought, he does have the confidence that his secret is still safe. I myself wouldn’t have noticed if he didn’t leave me that many clues and his hairstyle also plays a big part in concealing his identity as well.

“For the time being, we should continue watching the shoot, right? ……Right?”

“Ye-s………that being said, he’s really cool………”
