Tomokazu stood up from his desk and approached mine.
"Why the long face, dear friend?" he asked. "I hadn't seen you with such an expression despite the situation we're currently in."
A deep breath came out of my mouth as I leaned against the backrest of my chair.
"An offer just arrived," I answered. "It's a photoshoot for a magazine."
Haru snapped her head toward me.
"A photoshoot? That's wonderful!"
"It is," nodded Aya. "Then why are you sighing for?"
"Because it's summer-themed."
"Don't say any more," interrupted Tomokazu. "Bikinis?"
"Bikinis," I replied.
"Oh," uttered Haru. "I understand now."
Aya added, "Even if it isn't the most comfortable thing to do, haven't the girls been taking modeling lessons for these kinds of things?"
Haru nodded. "She's right. I might not be very knowledgeable regarding idols, but I've seen that these kinds of photoshoots were common back in the day while studying about them."
