Title: My Sister Can't Have a Suitor! (TRUE ROUTE)
PART 1
Story begins while Kirino is at work modeling for one of the top fashion magazines in Japan.
Sounds of camera flashing*
Camera guy: Okay, Kirino-chan! Now, move a little to the right!
Kirino: Kay!
Kirino smiles and poses playfully for the camera while wearing a yellow blouse with a cute bear print, blue short skirt, black knee high socks with a small red heart print visible near the top part and white high heeled sandals.
While this is going on, someone enters the set.
Someone: Hey, Ichiro! what's up?
Kawamura Ichiro was a typical model, tall (178 cm), good looks, his black hair styled in a fashionable mohawk,
his eyes are black and has a small goatee. Ichiro was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with suspenders and brown slacks,
he has a small earring on his left ear, and his confidence apparently matching his attire.
Ichiro: Yo, Kenji! What do you think?
Yamamoto Kenji, on the other hand seems more subtle in his choice of clothes, but not in any way less fashionable nor less good looking as his friend(They're models after all).
His white shirt and light brown cargo shorts greatly compliments his medium height of 168 centimeters.
and his curly silver hair with bangs highlights his slightly simpler appearance.
Ichiro points toward Kirino's direction while she is doing one of her playful poses.
Camera Flashes at Kirino while she switches her poses
Kenji: Hmmmm... what do I think of what?
Kenji seems confused at his friend's sudden question.
Ichiro: That girl over there wearing the teddy bear shirt.
Kenji: Huh?
Kenji stares at Kirino and within a second, suddenly felt his heart skip.
Kenji: Ah... her? Well, She seems to be enjoying her work, I guess?
Kenji slightly shrugs.
Ichiro: Idiot! I was pertaining to how she looks!
Ichiro crosses his arms as if to express apparent disappointment to Kenji's response.
Kenji: I see, then... She Looks like she's having fun?
Ichiro: how dense can you get? I meant her APPEARANCE, A.P.P.E.A.R.A.N.C.E. basically, don't you think she's kinda cute?
Kenji: Hmmm... I think all the girls here are at least "kinda"cute, otherwise, they wouldn't be working in this kind of job in the first place, don't you think?
Kenji seems to be growing slightly annoyed at his friend's persistence while Ichiro seems to feel the same way about Kenji's stubbornness.
Ichiro: You're really not answering the question here... Or rather... Perhaps there's a reason why you're beating around the bush? Heh.
Ichiro's previous expression changed matching his pleased tone, placing both hands on his waist with a huge grin on his face.
Kenji: I don't know what you mean but okay.
Kenji sighs.
At this point, Kirino just finished her shoot.
Cameraman shouting to Kirino: Okay! And that's a wrap! Nice job, you're as amazing as always, Kirino-chan!
Kirino smiles: Heheh. Of course I am!
Kirino does a triumphant pose.
At this point Ayase, who has also just finished her shoot from another area of the building, wearing a blue blouse with frilly short sleeves and white short shorts runs towards Kirino.
Ayase: Great job, Kirino! Wanna have lunch outside? If you don't mind, I brought some bentos we can share!
Kirino: Sure!
The two then proceed to walk past Kenji and Ichiro who are located near the exit while talking about various girly things.
As the two were on their way out of the building, they pass the two boys, both of which were staring silently at Kirino the whole two girls didn't notice though.
As soon as both girls leave through the exit door, Ichiro resumes their discussion.
Ichiro: So?... What do we do now?
Kenji: Well, our shoot does start in about half an hour. Didn't think I'd reach here this early though. Hehe.
With an awkward smile on his face, Kenji rubs his hand on the back of his head, embarrassed at the fact that he seemed a bit too eager to come to work that day.
Ichiro: Yeah, me too... I guess we're just a couple of go-getters eh?
While imitating his friend's expression, Ichiro laughs.
Kenji: I guess... You're probably right.
Kenji continues his awkward smile in agreement.
Ichiro: Hey, since we have some time left before our shoot, how about we think of a plan to introduce ourselves to Kirino and her friend, what do you think?
Kenji seemed a bit surprised at his friend's proposal but nonetheless interested.
Kenji: Hmmm...
Kenji, though slightly hesitant at first. finally agrees after thinking for a few seconds.
Kenji: Sure!
Ichiro: Good! Now that we're on the same page, coming up with a plan will be a cinch!
Kenii: You think so? I haven't done this kind of thing before, though.
Ichiro has a dumbfounded look on his face
Ichiro: What? Seriously? You've never hit on a chick before?
Kenji: Why do you look so surprised?
Ichiro: Heh! I kinda figured you to be a stud when we first met!
Ichiro places both hands behind his head while grinning widely, trying to hide his astonishment.
Flashback occurs*
Scene switches to a different location, A large park, and within the park are all the models, cameramen, and the rest of the Eternal Blue crew gathered in a sort of organized assembly. Facing them was the director, Fujima Misaki, giving her preparatory speech.
Misaki: Okay, you guys! You all know why we're here! The shoot will begin in about 15 minutes, but before we proceed, I want you all to prepare yourselves and listen clearly to what I have to say!
Misaki pauses for a bit before proceeding, closing her eyes for a second as if to gather more confidence in delivering the follow-up to her speech.
Misaki: You guys are all chosen here to represent Eternal Blue! We expect nothing but greatness from each and every one of you, therefore believe in yourselves! Respect and get along with the people who are working with you! And above all, learn to enjoy yourselves while doing your job! After all, we're all in this together and if we all put our hearts and minds in whatever we do while having fun in the process, then the work will definitely be less stressful! Most of you guys standing before me are still in middle school and high school, right?! Therefore it is even more important that you all retain a positive attitude in whatever you choose to do, especially this early on in your careers! Always remember, people! With great passion comes great results and if we put love and dedication into whatever we set out to do, then there is nothing that we can't overcome! Do you guys understand?!
Misaki was seriously giving her all for this speech, She really does love her work as well as her colleagues.
Everyone listening(Models, Crew, etc.): Yes Ma'am!
They all respond after which they bow to show great appreciation and respect for their caring director.
Misaki: Good!
Misaki, looking pleased with their response, smiles.
Misaki: You're all dismissed! But don't forget your call times!
Everyone listening(Models, Crew, etc.): Yes Ma'am!
Scene changes and now focuses on a familiar figure.
It was Kenji approaching Ichiro with the intent of introducing himself.
Kenji: Hey there, my name's Yamamoto Kenji, but you can call me Kenji. What's your name?
It seems Ichiro's nervousness was immediately sensed by Kenji, who decided to try and help out his fellow model.
Ichiro responds with a slight bow.
Ichiro: Call me Ichiro! Nice to meet you!
Ichiro tries to put up a front, which is also sensed by Kenji.
Kenji also bows in response.
Kenji: By the way, Ichiro, How are you holding up? Excited for the shoot?
Ichiro then faces Kenji with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
Ichiro: So, you noticed it, huh? Truth is, I'm a bit nervous. This is my first time modeling and I'm still trying to learn the ropes.
Kenji: I see, well, we all have to start from somewhere, don't we? Don't worry too much about it and if there's anything I can do to help, feel free to let me know!
Ichiro was taken aback by how kind and confident Kenji was being and consequently regains his composure.
Ichiro: Sure! Looking forward to it! Thanks!
Ichiro smiles gratefully.
Flashback ends*
Kenji looks perplexed at his friend, trying to recall if he ever showed a side of himself to Ichiro that would warrant such a reaction.
Kenji: Huh? Why would you say that?
Ichiro: Never mind, let's move on to more important matters.
Kenji: Agreed, the plan to get to know those two, right?
Ichiro: Of course!
The two stopped for a bit, appearing to think very hard on what to do next.
Kenji: I know!, Isn't Mikagami close to Kirino? I see them hanging out from time to time.
Ichiro: That guy? Isn't he kind of, you know...
Kenji: What?
Ichiro: Gay?
Kenji looks surprised and disappointed at Ichiro's answer.
Kenji: Huh?
Ichiro struggles to explain himself amidst Kenji's disappointment, panicking at the sight of his friend getting upset.
Ichiro: You know! The way he talks! He talks kind of... How to say it... Way too smooth, gentle and refined! Don't tell me you haven't noticed it!?
Kenji: I can't believe you, seriously, judging a guy based on his voice... What are you, twelve?
Ichiro: Ah, forget it... Okay, and? What are we going to do with Mikagami?
Kenji: Don't say it like we're going to do something bad to him!
Kenji is now the one panicking.
Ichiro: Fine, fine. But seriously, what's the plan?
Kenji: Hmmm... For now let's find him, he must be somewhere around here.
Kenji then tries to look for Mikagami without taking a step from where he was.
Kenji: Ah! Found him!
Mikagami Kouki, a person who is definitely what the Japanese would normally refer to as Ikemen, was wearing a silver long sleeved shirt, white pants and silver leather shoes. He was speaking to one of the female models, their discussion seemed serious.
Kouki: In other words, you're asking me if I could give you some life counseling on how to confess to that person?
Ran-chin: Yes!
Sasaki Ran, a cute girl with short brown hair matching her eyes was wearing a pink top printed with three tiny stars that were colored blue, red and yellow, orange Capri pants. and pink rubber shoes.
Ran seems a bit embarrassed during the conversation.
Kouki: I see, but don't you already have a boyfriend, Sasaki-san?
Ran: We...We already broke up a week ago! please don't change the subject, Senpai!
Ran fidgets in anticipation to Kouki's answer to her request.
Kouki: Alright, Leave it to me! I'll try to think of something and will let you know by text once I've gotten a clear plan.
Kouki raises his right hand beneath his chin as if thinking deep on how he can help out his kouhai.
Ran: Thank you, senpai! It really means a lot!
Ran was ecstatically happy and relieved at Kouki's willingness to help.
At this point, Ichiro and Kenji arrives at the scene.
Kenji: Hey there, Kouki-san!
Kouki and Ran faces the two guys, a bit surprised at their sudden appearance. Ran suddenly starts fidgeting even more than before.
Kouki: Ah! Kenji! What's up?
Kouki stares briefly at the person who was accompanying his acquaintance.
Kenji: Ah! Yes! Before we get to that, let me introduce you two! Kouki, this is Ichiro,
Kenji then faces Ichiro while gesturing towards Kouki.
Kenji: Ichiro, Kouki.
Ichiro: Nice to meet you!
Ichiro smiles at Kouki who gives the same response.
Kouki: Likewise!
Kenji: By the way, Kouki-san... Who's your friend?
Kenji asks Kouki in a more quieter tone, trying not to sound rude.
Ran overhears Kenji's question and suddenly stands straight with her hands on her waist, bowing respectfully towards the two guys, trying her best to hide her shyness.
Ran: I'm Sasaki Ran! Feel free to call me Ran! Nice to meet you!
She blurts out while her head is still lowered.
Kenji, Ichiro and Kouki were surprised by her sudden introduction.
Kenji: Ah, no, calling you Sasaki-san would be fine. Ni..Nice to meet you.
Ichiro: Wh..What he said.
Both the guys bow as well while facing Ran.
Ran: Umm... I just remembered, I have to prepare for my shoot. Catch you guys later!
Ran smiles at the two then suddenly turns to Kouki, stares into his eyes then proceeds to whisper in his right ear.
Ran(whispering): Don't forget our agreement, okay?
Kenji and Ichiro were quite astonished at what they were witnessing. Ichiro clearly more shocked between the two. Which was understandable, considering his perspective regarding Kouki-san earlier.
Kouki, remembering their recent conversation, replies.
Kouki: Ah, that? Don't worry, I didn't forget.
Kouki nods with a smile as if to reassure her.
Ran smiles again and after gaining a bit of distance, waves goodbye to the three male models then slowly focuses on one of them while wearing a sad smile on her face.
