Kiryu: And lastly is Togame's outfit and mine, all finished~!
Togame: These're nice clothes. They have a loose, comfortable feel to 'em.
Sociable Photographer: Wow! As expected of Kiryu-kun, what excellent sense!
Kiryu: Fufu, thank you very much.
Sociable Photographer: Well then, let's separate into two groups and move into the shoot. Kiryu-kun, if you'd follow me.
I'll be counting on you for an interview during the process, too.
Kiryu: Sure, I'll be in your care.

Sociable Photographer: I see, I see... So that's the kind of angle you took when choose everyone's outfits. By the way, which of the outfits you styled is your favorite?
Kiryu: Hm~... I don't think I can choose just one, you know? I chose them so that everyone's individual personality could shine.
Sociable Photographer: Everyone has a different personality, you're right. And the same can be said of Kiryu-kun's outfits, of course.
I wonder, is there a certain reason why Kiryu-kun became interested in these kinds of clothes?
Kiryu: A certain reason, huh... Maybe my older sister's influence?
She lent me your fashion magazine, so that's how I first got into it.
Sociable Photographer: I see!
???: Oh, I get it now~!

Sociable Photographer: —!? Wh-What the! You...!
Bitter Man: So that's why he ended up with such a weak, delicate fashion sense, even though he's a guy!
Snide Man: The photographer's got that kind of eye, too, huh~!
Instead of pickin' cool guys like us, that's why he chose that girly-lookin' guy over there!
Kiryu: ......
Bitter Man: What's wrong? So scared ya can't speak?
Kiryu: No, I'm just annoyed that I was having a good time and you barged in like that.
"Even though he's a man"... or "looks like a woman"... Saying those kinds of things is seriously old-fashioned.
People like you think that their values are always right, and when something goes against them you all start shouting and making all this fuss.
It's so embarrassing, I can't even look at you.
Bitter Man: Hah!?
Snide Man: Stop talking down to us... Oi, go at him!
Bitter Man: Hah!!
Gya—!
Snide Man: Eh? He got tossed!? By that girly guy!?
Kiryu: As long as those things keep coming out of your mouth, you'll never beat me.
Snide Man: —! That was just a fluke... I'm sure!
Bring it on!
<Brief fighting intermission>

Bitter Man: Kuh...! Don't think you won just yet...!
Kiryu: You're saying that while running away, though~?
Sociable Photographer: Thank you, Kiryu-kun! You really saved me!
Kiryu: Of course. You didn't get hurt, right?
Sociable Photographer: Not at all. More than that, I was surprised. Going against them when you're outnumbered... You must have good training!
Kiryu: Well, I guess in a way.
Just because I have people I absolutely must protect.
