The Transcendental Beauty Goes to the Pool

We have been watching the shoot for quite a while but both of them really seem professional.

They take the specified poses, being photographed, and change into their next outfit. That might sound easy but I think that it is amazing of them to be able to do it outside with many people watching them like this.

As I kept watching the shoot, I noticed that a well-built man talked to the two of them a lot. However, their voices are barely audible from here.

“Alright! Next is the last outfit! It seems we are going to have a smooth sailing today!”

“……..who is that?”

“Fufun! You want to know!?”

That’s what she said but if she got like this then she probably wants me to ask her right.

“Yes, please tell me who he is.”

“Allow me to answer your expectations! Nn, that person is a producer of JUWEL, he’s also Kamishiro Kousei and Asakura Asuka’s manager!”

“I see…….So that’s why Kamishiro Kousei and Asakura Asuka often do photoshoots together.”

“Correct! You are quite knowledgeable even though you just recently joined the fanbase huh! Good work!”

Akira-chan proudly said. After going through several issues of their magazine, I noticed that Kamishiro Kousei and Asakura Asuka often got featured together in the same issue.

However, there is still something I am curious about.

“That is Manager-san? He looks like a man and his voice is deep but I feel like the way he speaks is quite feminine though. Perhaps that person is just a well-built woman?”

“You are curious about that!? Yup, I guess that is justified huh!”

Akira-chan nodded to herself. If I have to put it into words then yes I am curious but it’s not like I really need to know though.

……still, Akira-chan’s eyes look like she really wants to have this explanation moment so I think I will have to meet her expectations.

“I’m curious so please tell me more.”

“Alright! He’s a man but his heart is different! But this made him able to understand the sensibility of both men and women fashion!”

“…….so what you are saying is?”

“Since he understands both men’s and women’s fashion, the fashion sense he put into producing the magazine made the outfits he chose sell like hotcakes! Some say that he’s the secret to JUWEL’s popularity you know!”

“I see……so basically he can choose clothes that any man or woman would consider cute right.”

“Exactly!”

So that’s why he’s not only doing the producing but getting intimate with his models as their manager as well.

Hearing Akira-chan’s explanation, I was convinced.

“OKAY! That’s it for today! Good work, Kousei-kun, Asuka-chan!”

“Thank you for your work.”

“Thank you!”

While I was talking with Akira-chan, it seems that the shoot has wrapped up and the staff started to clean up the equipment. It is only a little before noon, just before the sun reaches its peak so I think that it’s a good time to end the shoot since they would want to avoid their model getting all sweaty.

“KYAA! KOUSEI-SAMA! PLEASE LOOK THIS WAY!”

“Kyah…….that surprised me…….”

I was surprised by Akira-chan’s sudden loud voice.

“KYAH! Hey! He just looked our way and waved right! You saw right Reika!?”

“I missed that because I was surprised by you, Akira-chan. But, I’m glad for you.”

“YEAH! Ah, it looks like he’s still looking this way so you need to bask in his glory now okay! There are not that many chances you can see him in the flesh after all!”

Glancing at the shoot, I saw Kamishiro Kousei who seemed to be looking this way with a bitter smile, and Asakura Asuka chatt

Asakura Asuka looked a little puzzled at Kamishiro Kousei’s bitter smile. He then said something to her and her expression finally turned into a convinced one.

He probably told her about Akira-chan. 

When I lightly smiled at him, his face cramped up a little. How rude.

After that, Perhaps intending to change out of their outfit, the two went into the tent.

“Akira-chan, the two of them are about to leave so how about we go to the pool now? It’s getting hot because we are out in the sun after all.”

“hmmm…….I guess there’s no use waiting out here huh. Let’s go!”

“Yes. Fortunately, it’s a weekday so I don’t think it will be crowded. Besides, I think there will only be students our age there so I think we can enjoy ourselves you know.”

With that said, Akira-chan and I head to the pool. It is just around the corner so we got there in no time. Also, as expected, it wasn’t crowded at all.

“Reika! Let’s buy our tickets first!”

“Okay. we need the tickets for the gate over there right.”

The entrance fee was about 500 yen but I think that’s a cheap price because they have water slides, a flow pool, and even a wave pool inside.

There are also food stalls so we can have lunch inside as well. I heard that this place can get quite crowded on weekends too.

“Let’s change into our swimsuits first! The changing room is this way!”

“It’s big. Well, let’s get changed.”
