Part 2

I’m back.

Oh, welcome home……HUUUH!? Hareta-kun!?

Woah! T-That scared me. So it was you, Toi… Who’s Hareta?

S-Sorry, it’s nothing…! I just didn’t recognize you in your work suit.

Oh, this. I didn’t have time to change out of it after the shoot. I’ll go get changed right now.

Aw, you’re going to take it off already!? But it looks so cool and fits you so well!?

…Does it really look that good on me?

Yes! Extreeeeemely!

I-I see…! I never thought you’d like it this much though.

Oh… Sorry for surprising you. Um… It’s just…you look exactly like one of my favorite characters…

Favorite character? I think I remember you saying I looked like a character from LuvBlossom¹ before…

That’s true, but Warito Hareta from the “Love Stories and Teru Teru Bouzu” series is cold and egotistical, but also really kind. And the endearing side he shows sometimes is enough to make my heart throb in the best way!

Um, I have some CGs saved on my phone… Ah, here it is! He looks like this.

Wow, he looks pretty cool!

Right!? Isn’t he super cool!?

…Ah, s-sorry for suddenly going crazy and nerding out on you…

Nah, it’s alright. This pose could be a good reference for a photoshoot. So this is how I come off to you, huh?

T-That’s right! The poses and everything are all super cool!

…Um! If it’s alright with you, there’s a scene I’d like you to recreate…!

Just like that, lean forward and hold out your hand…

L-Like this?

Yes! And now for the famous line, please!

Uh… “You’ll trip on that puddle, it’s dangerous. Come here.”

Uwaaaah~!! It’s like the real Hareta-kun is right in front of me!

Oh nooo~! If I take your hand, this’ll turn into a love story~! I have to take lots of pictures!

I see, so this kinda thing is popular. Crouching low and taking a step forward… Woah!?

Renga-san!? A-Are you alright!?

Ahh… My bad! Hareta wouldn’t have done that! Forget what you just saw!

A r-rare CG…

Huh?

This is a super rare new CG that you would never see in the main story~! Even the way you’re apologizing is so Hareta-kun!! I’m definitely going to preserve this forever~!

W-Well I don’t really get it… I’m glad you’re not disappointed though.

But don’t show the photo you just took to anyone, okay…?
