BLOSSOM - 3

[furins]

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.
