“Here you go, Reito-kun.”
A few minutes into the Yamanashi shoot. Amagi-san offers me a cup of iced coffee. I gratefully accept. The clear bitterness of the black coffee refreshes my brain, which is exhausted from the heat.
“Anri san suddenly said she was bringing her boyfriend, so I wondered what kind of person she was going to bring, but I was relieved to see that he was a decent guy. I’ve been nervous since yesterday, you know?”
“Haha …… thanks. I’m a little nervous because it’s my first time at a place like this too.”
“Anri-san often talks about Reito-kun. She says he’s always hanging out with girls and is unfaithful.”
“No, no, that’s not true. ……”
“There’s no need to hide it. I don’t hold any grudges or anything. In fact, I’m grateful.”
“Grateful?”
“For a while, Anri san was having a hard time keeping her head above water in her modeling career. Because of her personality, she didn’t talk to others about it, so she was in trouble. It was Reito-kun who helped her in such a situation. I heard it was you.”
Come to think of it, that happened too. I had no idea that I had done anything worthy of being thanked by others like this, but when I hear someone thank me like this, it makes me feel a little uneasy in my chest.
I guess even someone like me can be a support to others.
“Recently, things have been stable, she’s been getting more work, and she’s been able to produce results. Anri san has grown into a strong and resilient woman. As her manager, I’m very happy about this.”
“…She’s a top model now, after all.”
“…Just between you and me, there are a lot of men who are after you, Anri. Apparently a certain famous actor asked her out on a date recently.”
After all, she is a top model. It is natural for a top model to be popular with celebrities. I thought I knew that. However, when she said this to me again, I was struck with an unidentified sense of frustration. I had never felt this way before.
“It seems that the producer of the magazine we are shooting for now really likes her, and he has been patronizing her. It might be possible that they might become like that in the near future.”
“T-that’s not possible. ……”
“Fufu, that was a bit of a joke. That’s not true. Anri san loves you deeply. She loves you so much that she would give up everything for your sake. Reito kun. You are loved. Are you aware of that?”
“…I do feel that I am loved in my own way.”
Amagi smiled at my reply.
“I see. In that case, you should love her accordingly. If she says love you, say so back. If she asks for a hug, hug her. If she’s waiting for a kiss, offer your lips to her. If you push Anri san away now, something will happen.”
“Uh, well, that’s …….”
“Do you like Anri-san, Reito-kun?”
“I love …..her”
“If so, then you should love her properly. If she doesn’t vent in moderation, she’s in big trouble.”
I found her words strangely persuasive. I nodded my head, pushed by the mysterious melancholy hidden behind her expression, as if I were the same as her.
“By the way, Reito kun. Getting back to the subject, I hear you’re quite the flirt. ……?”
“….Well, you know, I won’t deny it.”
“I don’t have the trouble of getting involved in other people’s love affairs. It’s just that you’re going to have a hard time, you know?”
“It’s an ongoing struggle, …….”
“Fufu, I’m sure you are being courted by the same girls you helped. It’s important to love them well and equally.”
“I’ll take good care of it. ……”
“Ara, you’re Reito kun? You’ve got a good look~!”
Suddenly, a big man with a strong personality appeared. He spoke in a somewhat gay tone and stared at me, licking my body and face.
“Oh, um, ……”
“Shizaki-san, he is in trouble.”
“Ara, I’m sorry, I just thought you had a nice face.”
“Reito kun. This is the producer I mentioned earlier.”
This person… It was a waste of my time worrying.
“I’ve heard a lot about it from Anri chan. How about taking a photo with Anri chan?”
“Ehh!? No, I’m ……”
“Don’t be shy, Sendo-kun. Let’s take a picture to commemorate the event.”
In the end, I just went along with it and took a few photos. I posed with Yamanashi and took a few photos.
It was the first time for me to do this, so naturally I was a bit nervous. Even though it was just a simple commemorative photo shoot, my heart started to race differently than usual just because of the different environment. Perhaps it was because of Yamanashi standing next to me.
“Okay, I think this is OK… Sendo-kun, from here on out I’ll have you take the photos solo.”
“Haa!? Why are you asking me to take a picture of just me?!”
“I want it. Shibasaki-san, put the camera over here!”
