Chapter 44

Currently, I am in the photoshoot room watching Shiori and Ayase given an instruction from the producer. Except for the spot they take the photo, the room was a bit dark.

"Shiori-chan, bend your body a bit and put your index finger in front of your lips and say 'Ssstt' with a smile.

Ayase-chan, gently hold Shiori-chan's shoulders from behind and give me your happy smile and wink" The producer instructed.

Shiori and Ayase promptly make the pose instructed by him. The producer was the man who scouted Shiori before. Incidentally, he also the one who scouted Ayase.

"Yes yes, that's good. Tres Bien girls!" The producer praised with a shemale-like voice. This is one of the reasons I support Shiori become a model, the producer has the soul of a woman.

People might not know this, but in the harsh modeling world, someone like him was more trustworthy than an old man or even a handsome man.

There are many types of people in the entertainment world. Some cruelly use their talent's body to please the higher up, some make their talents do anything he wants, and many more. Those people were what made the entertainment industry harsh to their talents.

(A/N: In japan, people called models/seiyuu/singer in their agency 'Talent'. If you are working in the entertainment industry, don't be offended by this. This is just bullshit?)

Within these people, the type of trustworthy people is scarce. And weirdly, those people mostly are men with woman's souls. Naturally, there are some normal people who are good. But they were rare.

Added by my convenience intuition informed me this one is fine, I think he is indeed trustworthy. Though people like him can be scary sometimes when they meet a handsome boy in his strike zone. This made me glad the room was dark, and he has not looked at me.

"Producer! This is bad! The guy who supposed to a photoshoot with Shiori-chan and Ayase-chan didn't come. He said, 'The payment is not enough'." A staff suddenly approached the producer and frantically said.

"WHAT?! That pricks! I know he isn't any good!" The producer furiously shouted with a manly voice.

"What should we do, Producer?" The staff asked uneasily.

"Hmm... This is bad, it's going to be hard searching for a replacement at this time. *sigh* is there a kind handsome boy who can help us nearby? I'm fine even if he is a new talent." The producer sighed resignedly and said.

"Anoo..." Shiori suddenly raised her hand and said.

'...I think I know where this is going...'

"What's up, Shiori-chan?" He asked.

"How about him?" Shiori pointed at me and said.

'Knew it'

Honestly, I do want to try modeling since it can boost my popularity especially on people who didn't watch classical music.

"Ara? Can anyone turn on the light for a bit?" The producer looked at me and instructed. Not long after, the lights turned on.

"OH! WHAT A HANDSOME BOY... I didn't know we have a super handsome boy in the staff." The producer licked his lips and said while he looks at me. In that instant, a shiver runs down my spine. This is one of the reasons I am hesitating.

"Ahaha...But I am neither staff nor model, though." I laughed dryly and said.

"He is my Onii-sama who I said going to accompany me today," Shiori explained with pride.

"Hee... how about it, Onii-san do you want to become a model?" The producer looked at me with a smirk and asked.

"Yes, Onii-sama. I want to take a photoshoot with you. Right, Ayase-chan?" Shiori said with an expectant expression then asked Ayase beside her.

"Y-yes, Onii-san," Ayase asked with an embarrassed but expectant expression.

"Fine... but I won't be able to be in the modeling job every day. I can come to important events or photoshoots, though. Is that fine?" I asked after giving some conditions.

"Oui, Oui. Now hey you, take him to the changing room and give him the outfit." The producer nodded happily then instructed a staff.

��And please stop calling me 'Onii-san', Producer."

"Izumi-chan, move your right leg a bit. Slightly raise your head and give me a cool-looking face. Then gently held Shiori-chan's and Ayase-chan's waist.

Shiori-chan and Ayase-chan, both of you position yourself facing each other. Use your hand to touch Izumi-chan's chest then looked at the camera in that position and give me a happy and affectionate face."

We immediately assumed the pose instructed by the producer.

*Click* *Click* *Click*

"Tres Bien! You have a talent in this, Izumi-chan." He nodded approvingly and said.

"Ahaha...Thanks..." I smiled wryly and said.

After that we take a bunch of photos either together, paired with Shiori or Ayase, and me alone. The poses that we used in those photos are instructed by the producer, and the results are incredible.

Finally, it's time for us to come home. Because it's already 8 pm, Shiori and I decided to walk Ayase home.

"Today was fun!" Shiori said as she stretched her hands.

"Indeed. Now I understand why you like modeling so much, Shiori." I caressed Shiori's head and gently said.

"Ehehe... " Shiori smiled joyously.

"Good job to you too, Ayase-chan." I gently patted Ayase's head with my other hand and gently said.

"T-thanks, Onii-san." Ayase lowered her head embarrassedly and said.

"Ouch, sorry. It's a habit of mine." I instantly move my hand from her head and said.

"I-it's fine, Onii-san." Ayase instantly said.

"Rather, it feels so good when you pat my head, Onii-san..." Ayase added in a low voice to make us didn't hear it. Naturally, I heard it. But let's pretend I didn't.

"It's good then. Oh right, when will the magazine released, Shiori?" I curiously asked.

"The spring one should be in two days. And the summer should be on the 14th of July." Shiori explained.

"I see..."

Without realizing, we have arrived at Ayase's house while talking merrily.

"Anoo... Thanks for accompanying me home, Onii-san, Shiori-chan." Ayase slightly lowered her head and said.

"It's fine, Ayase-chan. You're supposed to think of me as your brother, right?" I smilingly said.

"Yes, it's fine. You are my precious friend, Ayase-chan." Shiori said while gently smiled.

"Hehe... But it's not wrong to say 'Thanks' to my big brother and my best friend, though?" Ayase delightedly said.

"Haha, that's true. Then, your welcome Ayase-chan." I laughingly said.

"Nn! Your welcome, Ayase-chan." Shiori nodded understandingly and said.

We take a train to our region then walk leisurely to our home. We can just take a taxi or even teleport directly to the home, but Shiori said she wanted to walk together with me while enjoying the night's scenery and the wind.

"Shiori, even though it's already at this time, do you want to go to the game center?" I asked.

"Sure, Onii-sama! It's been a long time since we visited the game center together." Shiori excitedly answered.

Deciding that, we directly went to the Game Center near our house. Because it's Saturday, many people were there playing around with their friends or couple. Before we played a game, I had texted Nanaka to make a big dinner box for us to eat later as I planned to eat with Shiori somewhere.

Nanaka replied with, 'Okay, wait for 30 minutes okay? And have a good time, you two *Smile emoticon* *Smile emoticon*'.

'Really, what an understanding wife she is.' I looked at the text affectionately while thinking about Nanaka.

"Let's go, Onii-sama!" Shiori excitedly pulled me to the counter to buy some coins.

"Yes yes." I smilingly said.

We bought a box of coins enough to play for half an hour. Then we immediately played some multilayer games like Zombie Land, Road race, and many more.

"Do you want that doll, Shiori?" I asked Shiori who looked at a cute white rabbit doll inside the crane game.

"Nn!" Shiori nodded affirmatively.

"Yosh, I will get it for you." I confidently said.

I inserted a coin to the crane game, moving the crane to the aimed rabbit doll, and leave the rest to my luck. As expected, luck was always on my side, and I got the doll in the first try.

"Whoa! You are so good at this, Onii-sama." Shiori excitedly said.

"Hehe...Here, for you." I smiled then handed the doll to Shiori.

"I will treasure it, Onii-sama." Shiori tightly hugged the doll and said while smiling happily.

"Before we head home, let's eat somewhere. I already texted Nanaka to make dinner for us and put it in a big box." I suggested.

"Yes!"

Shiori and I went outside the game center and entered the back alley. Then I teleported to our house to take the dinner box I asked. When we teleported to the kitchen, Nanaka was there waiting for us.

"Here is the dinner box, Izu-kun." Nanaka carefully handed the big dinner box and said.

"As expected of Nanaka." I nodded appreciatively and said.

"Fufufu... Don't come home too late, Okay?" Nanaka smilingly said.

"Sure, thanks Nanaka-san," Shiori answered with a smile.

"Let's go then. See you later, Nanaka." I tenderly kissed Nanaka's lips then immediately teleported to the tallest building in the town. It's a five stars apartment who stood tall in the center of the town. Incidentally, this luxury apartment is Shinomiya Family's property.

"Why here, Onii-sama?" Shiori curiously asked.

"To enjoy the wind in the night spring and the scenery," I answered with a smile.

"I didn't know you were this romantic, Onii-sama," Shiori said with a teasing smile.

"*chuckled* What a cheeky little sister you are." I gently pinched her lovely nose and said.

"Whose teaching do you think it is?" Shiori smirked and asked.

"Haha... it's me indeed." I laughingly said.

"Hehe..."

We eat the dinner box Nanaka made after that. It was delicious as always, as expected of Nanaka. Then we heartily enjoyed the night scenery from above while Shiori sits comfortably on my laps.

"Do you have a dream for the future, Shiori?" I asked Shiori as I gently hug her from behind.

"Naturally to be your bride, Onii-sama." Shiori instantly answered.

"Hehe... other than that?" I smiled then asked while gently looking at her.

"Hmm... maybe become the number one actress in Japan," Shiori answered after thinking for a bit.

"Why not in the world?" I wonderingly asked.

"Obviously because going around the world is troubling for me. I can't see you every day after all." Shiori answered with a smile.

"Hahaha... Idiot... But, you are my idiot." I laughingly said.

"Hehe..." Shiori happily smiled in my embrace.

---

It was the night after we had come back from the building.

"Onii-sama, can I sleep together with you tonight?" Shiori who gently holding a rabbit doll asked from the door of my room.

"Can't be helped, come here."
