I was brought into the waiting room.
Next to me, Nishiumi was having her makeup done, and in the mirror in front of her I could see my eyes, which were almost completely obscured by my bangs.
“Is it really me? I don’t think I look like someone who would be in a magazine.”
“Please don’t worry about that! We have top-notch hair and makeup artists, and above all, you were recommended by HIROMI and KAYA! And when it comes to his son, there is no more suitable understudy than Saku-san!”
“Hhaha!”
The manager was excitedly talking.
“Then, I’ll go get a hair and make-up artist! Please wait a moment!”
The manager leaves the waiting room with a bang.
My mom and dad were grinning at me as I was left behind.
“Saku is finally making his debut in the entertainment industry, huh?”
“I’ve been casually recommending it for a long time, but it never really took off!~”
“If I could, I wouldn’t want to stand out. But is it really safe? I’m the understudy for the men’s model.”
“Don’t worry~! I guarantee it! Right, Hiromi san?”
“There’s nothing to be worried about. Saku just needs to take the photos. Besides, Nishiumi-chan is the main character this time.”
“I-I’ll do my best!”
Nishiumi is very motivated.
However, there was one thing I was a little concerned about.
“But why did you recommend me as the substitute? Even though it was an urgent matter, why would you recommend me, who is so indifferent to my appearance?”
Both of them opened their mouths in blank amazement at my question.
Eventually, they both smiled and said in unison
“”Well, of course, it looked interesting.””
Crazy, these two.
“But it’s true that I thought you would be a good choice for the substitute. Because Saku is our child.
It’s no problem.”
“Yes, Kaya’s right.”
Apparently, he is also a foolish parent.
“I’m sorry, Nishiumi. because of Mom and Dad, I’m substituting for you.”
“No! That’s not true! I’m actually grateful… or rather, I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?”
“Because you don’t seem to like doing magazine shoots, do you? I’m sure you didn’t want to do it.”
Nishiumi said with a downcast look on her face.
“I don’t want to do it, that’s for sure.”
“You’re so honest. ……”
“But…”
I have to tell you this so that there will be no misunderstandings.
When I looked straight at Nishiumi, I told her in unmixed words.
“I don’t want to waste Nishiumi’s work.”
“!!!!!”
Nishiumi’s face turned bright red at my words.
“I, I see! as expected of Sakkun! Ahahahaha… really, you’re Sakkun.”
“?”
As I tilted my head, not understanding what she meant, my father and mother looked at me with smirks.
“Really, Saku is like this, isn’t he? It’s like you inherited Hiromi san’s DNA!”
“Saku is unconscious, so his nature is a little different.”
“Eh?”
I’ve been feeling like I’ve been left out of the conversation for a while now.
As I was looking at the three of them with a hatena mark on my head, a hair and makeup artist came over in a hurry.
“Hmmm… I see. I want to cut it off completely, so can I have some time?”
“I understand.
“Then you go ahead and take care of the individual photos, Honatsu-chan!”
“Okay! Well then, Sakkun, do your best!”
“Okay?”
Nishiumi leaves the waiting room full of enthusiasm.
“Well, it’s been a while since we’ve had a challenging one. ……”
“I-I’m looking forward to working with you.”
“Me too!!”
This one is very motivating too. ……
The hair and makeup artist takes a pair of scissors in her hand.
Then, with a familiar hand, she put the scissors in my hair.
–After 30 minutes
“Mizuki Saku-kun, let’s go in!”
The manager led me into the photo studio on the third floor of the office.
It was the first time I had ever been in such an atmosphere.
This is where the professionals work.
I wondered if this is the kind of place my father, mother, and Nishiumi always found themselves in.
“Please take care of me.”
I bowed my head with a bow.
–But….
“”””………..”””””
Everyone froze when they saw me.
Even Nishiumi didn’t say a word, just stared at me.
Was I really out of place?
How could an amateur suddenly enter the scene?
As I was feeling a little uneasy, I heard a voice saying,
“Are you serious?”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“Even though it’s their kid, I didn’t expect it to go this far. ……”
“Oh no. ……”
The voices of the staff members were heard, one after the other.
The person who seemed to be the cameraman approached me silently, put his hand on my shoulder, and said
“I was born to take pictures of you!”
“That’s definitely not true!”
The cameraman, who was looking very excited, pushed me back and made me stand next to Nishiumi.
“Please, Nishiumi.”
“………..”
“Nishiumi?”
“…………haa！！！！ Umm, yes……pelase!”
Nishiumi glanced at me and hurriedly looked away.
I wonder what’s wrong. This never happens normally.
“Okay, let’s shoot, you two! Until a revolution occurs in the entertainment industry… Three! Two! One!!!”
–Paschal.
…… I had no idea at this time.
I never thought that this shooting would cause a terrible situation.
