Student A“I guess Kikukawa will take over the final part in the fashion show this year.”
Student B“That makes sense. It’s like a hopeless fight.”
Student A“I want to pair up with Kikukawa~.”
Student B“That’s impossible. There are a lot of students from the model department who say the same thing. Besides, isn’t it obvious that Koga will pair up with him?”
Student A“Ah~. Speaking of Koga, it looks like he’ll take part in a collection runway show too. We won’t have any chance at all if he pairs up with a pro.”
“But well, if I can’t be his model, I don’t mind becoming his girlfriend. I can marry into the family who owns that high-end brand KIKUKAWA.”
Student B“I’ve told you it’s impossible.”
Student A“If I can’t pair up with Kikukawa, Hayama will do.”
Student B“Hayama, huh. The competition is fierce if you want to make a pair with him. I heard he’s going to finally start up his brand, after all.”
Student A“Sighs. Now that I look at the reality, I think it’s better to find a partner quickly.”
Student B“Right. You’re going to fail otherwise.”
Student A“I don’t want that!”
Student B“Well, the model department has more students than the design department, after all. I don’t think we can fail if the gap isn’t too big.”
Student A“IF the gap isn’t too big, right.”
Mikami“...”
Koga“Kikukawa, have you found your model?”
Kikukawa“I haven’t.”
Koga“Why don’t you pair up with me, then? I can meet your high demands, Kikukawa.”
Kikukawa“...I’ll think about it.”
Hayama“Hmm, so you haven’t even decided on your pair. You sure are calm.”
Kikukawa“It’s not like I have time to be calm.”
Hayama“Well, you can always use KIKUKAWA’s models when push comes to shove.”
Kikukawa“We’re not allowed to do that for the final project.”
Hayama“But if it’s someone from KIKUKAWA, they will allow it, right?”
Kikukawa“.....”
Hayama“Let me tell you something: the final part this year will be mine.”
Kikukawa“Yeah, okay.”
Izumi(Similar to the first design, Yuki-kun and Masumi-kun’s costumes are casual uniforms, but…)
(Each costumes have distinctive features that suit their own characters.)
(The three of them have high pride even in the play, so it’s great that they can show how the sparks are flying right from the start.)
Kikukawa’s Mother“Final project is just some student’s games, right. Even if they manage to catch the industry people’s attention, it’s just because their work is new and original.”
Kikukawa“......”
Kikukawa’s Mother“You’re already a professional. You should prioritize your job. Don’t put too much focus on your homework.”
Kikukawa“--.”
Kikukawa’s Mother“What? Do you have something to say?”
Kikukawa“...No.”
Teacher“Is everyone here?”
“For the time being, I will give supplementary lesson to those who fall behind in their final project…”
“This will be like a meeting between those who haven’t found their pair for the show. Those who have found their partners can go home.”
Student A“Hey, hey. Do you want to pair up with me?”
Student B“Sure. I’ll be in your care~.”
Student C“Let’s discuss our concept on our way home.”
Student D“Okaay.”
Mikami“.....”
Kikukawa“I’m late.”
Student A“...Eh, Kikukawa?”
Student B“I wonder if he hasn’t found his model.”
Student C“No way. Why hasn’t Kikukawa found his?”
Teacher“Come in and sit. I’ve already explained this, but you can’t make progress in your final project if you haven’t found your partner. You better hurry and choose yours.”
“Have you all chose your partners? Then, all that left is--.”
Mikami“......”
Kikukawa“Hey, Mikami. You don’t have a partner yet?”
Mikami“Eh…? Y-Yeah.”
Kikukawa“Then, do you want to pair up with me?”
Mikami“Eh!?”
Student A“You must be lying. He chose Mikami.”
Student B“There’s no way Mikami can wear Kikukawa’s clothes.”
Mikami“--.”
Kikukawa“Do you hear me?”
Mikami“But I--.”
Kikukawa“Are you going to pair up with me or not? State your answer clearly.”
Mikami“--I-If you’re fine with me.”
Kikukawa“I get it that you’re short, but it turns out your walking is also bad, huh.”
Mikami“So-sorry…”
Kikukawa“Do something about it until the D-day.”
Mikami“Say, why did you choose me, Kikukawa? There are other models that you can choose, and yet…”
Kikukawa“--I don’t really have any particular reason. I’m fine with anyone, so I just chose among the remaining people. Anyone will look decent in my outfits, after all.”
Mikami“--I, I see. You have a point.”
Kikukawa“......”
Mikami“But for someone like me, I might still be hopeless even if I wear Kikukawa’s clothes…”
Kikukawa“What are you saying? Are you making fun of my design?”
Mikami“I’m, I’m not! It’s just, I don’t have any talent as a model, I don’t have any sense and I’m short…”
Kikukawa“We can’t do anything about your short height. But the others are your problems, you know.”
Mikami“But--.”
Kikukawa“--Aaargh, so annoying! Fine. I’m going to completely revamp you!”
Mikami“--.”
Kikukawa“You’re not staying in the lines. Do it again.”
Mikami“--Y-Yes!”
Kikukawa“Your posture is bad.”
Mikami“Yes.”
Kikukawa“Look at the front.”
Mikami“Ah, yes!”
Kikukawa“That one is really not good.”
Mikami“Ugh…”
Kikukawa“You should make the side part more neat and tidy and add more volume to the top. Yeah, that looks good.”
“You’re short, so you’ve got to be careful with your silhouette. It’s basic common sense to understand your figure and choose things that suits your size.”
“Besides, you’ve chosen the brand that you admire--or something like that, right. You’re being rude to the clothes for not wearing outfits that suit your size.”
Mikami“Uh… you’re right. Poor clothes being worn by someone like me.”
Kikukawa“Hey, put on this one.”
Mikami“Huh?”
Kikukawa“This one perfectly fits in your body. It really suits your aura, too.”
Mikami“You’re right… I can’t believe there are clothes that look good on me.”
Kikukawa“What are you saying? Of course there are.”
Mikami“--Thanks, Kikukawa. I’ll do my best so that I can wear your clothes.”
Kikukawa“--.”
Mikami“Kikukawa? What’s wrong?”
Kikukawa“Nothing.”
Izumi(Yuki-kun and Taichi-kun are perfectly in sync. Since the script is written after deciding on the roles, they play their roles naturally and perfectly.)
(Next is Mikami’s performance in the latter half…)
Teacher“You will showcase your development process at this show. Regardless of your turn and evaluation, the result will merely be temporary.”
“You are also allowed to show the current state of your work. Think of this as something that will help you control the flow of your performance.”
Mikami“We are the third from the last… I’m nervous.”
Kikukawa“......”
Mikami“Kikukawa?”
Kikukawa“--.”
Mikami“Are you all right?”
Kikukawa“Is this really the time for you to worry about other people?”
Mikami“N-No. Well, you’re right.”
Kikukawa“I don’t plan to show such a halfway-done work at this time.”
Mikami“Kikukawa’s design is flawless! If it’s not, then I’m to blame for that…”
Kikukawa“......”
Student A“Hm? Is that Kikukawa’s design?”
Student B“Hmm, looks like it.”
Student A“Hmm.”
Student E“Maybe it’s because the model is Mikami, but don’t you think it doesn’t look that great?”
Student F“I mean, if I were to be honest, Kikukawa’s design isn’t that great in the first place.”
Student E“Ah, I also thought that a little. It feels like he only has the popularity of his parents’ brand, you see?”
“Even his own brand is basically KIKUKAWA’s secondary lines, right.”
Teacher A“Hayama is currently in the lead.”
Teacher B“I wonder what happened to Kikukawa. Unlike usual, his work is lackluster.”
Teacher A“He might get his hands full on his business.”
Kikukawa“......”
Koga“That was such a poor performance. Wasn’t it because you chose the wrong model?”
Hayama“The problem is beyond that. I don’t get a sense of style from your design. It looks shallow.”
Kikukawa“--.”
Mikami“It’s not Kikukawa’s fault. It’s because I’m the model--.”
Koga“That’s obvious. An ignorant amateur like you will only ruin any clothes you wear.”
Mikami“--.”
Hayama“I’ve told you before. It doesn’t have anything to do with the model. The level of your design is low. I’m disappointed. You’re just riding on your parents’ coattails.”
Mikami“Sorry, Kikukawa. I’m going to work harder.”
Kikukawa“Why are you saying that when you already work that hard--.”
Mikami“Huh?”
Kikukawa“......”
Mikami“Are you all right, Kikukawa…?”
Kikukawa“You asked me why did I choose you before, right.”
Mikami“Yeah.”
Kikukawa“I thought that if I paired up with a talentless model, they would purely evaluate my design.”
“I want them to purely look at my design, and not because I am the son of KIKUKAWA who has it all--.”
Mikami“...I see, so that’s the reason. If that’s so, why do you give me special training?”
Kikukawa“I got irritated seeing you being all hesitant.”
Mikami“I, I see.”
Kikukawa“But you’ve worked hard and began to change. It makes me worried whether I’m good enough.”
“But my eyes are open now. The model isn’t the problem here. I need to think of a way so that I won’t lose sight of my design. That’s the most important thing.”
“I’m stupid for minding what people say about me, that whole ‘he’s riding on his parents’ coattails.’”
Mikami“...I was able to change because of you, Kikukawa.”
“I managed to get into the model department that I had been longing, but I’m short. I don’t even have sense and aura. I was hit by reality.”
“But then you talked to me, who has given up my dream and grew timid, Kikukawa.”
“No matter what your reason was, I would not be able to change for eternity if that didn’t happen.”
“I might be no match for Koga as a model, but I want to wear your outfit, Kikukawa.”
“I want to show the charm of Kikukawa’s design more than anyone else.”
“I’ll do anything in order to achieve that goal. That is why I want you to use me as your model.”
Kikukawa“I have no intention to change model even if you don’t say that. I could get over my doubts because of you, Mikami.”
“I’ll create an outfit that will make you shine the brightest. The ones who are going to land that last spot at the show are us.”
Mikami“Last spot.. Me…”
Kikukawa“It’s an obvious result. You’re going to wear Lily. K’s clothes, after all.”
Mikami“Y-Yeah. You’re right.”
Kikukawa“I’ll be in your care, as an equal this time around.”
Mikami“Me too!”
Kikukawa“You already memorize the programme, right?”
Mikami“Yes.”
Koga“Heh, so you’re still participating even after being told such things.”
Mikami“Kikukawa’s model is me, after all.”
Koga“--.”
Hayama“I hope you don’t embarrass yourself again during the show.”
Kikukawa“I think you should worry about yourself rather than other people.”
Hayama“Looks like you’re back to your usual self.”
Student A“I expect no less from Hayama’s design~.”
Student B“That looks good. I want it.”
Student A“Others’ designs look like something that are made by students, but Hayama’s is certainly different. He receives a lot of applause.”
Student B“Isn’t he pretty much confirmed to take the last spot, then? Who’s next?”
Student A“The highly touted Kikukawa.”
Kikukawa“--It’s our turn.”
Mikami“I’m going.”
Kikukawa“Be confident. That’s the clothes I made for you, Mikami.”
Mikami“Yeah. I’m not anxious anymore, since I’m a part of your design, Kikukawa.”
Kikukawa“Okay--Go.”
Mikami“--.”
Student A“Whoah…”
Student B“As expected of Kikukawa.”
Student A“But don’t you think the model is small? He’s as tall as female models.”
Student B“I think he’s the perfect choice, though, since the design is unisex.”
Student C“It looks cute~. I want to wear that!”
Student D“Isn’t that men’s clothing?”
Student C“But women can wear that too.”
Student D“It’s a little bit different than what KIKUKAWA usually makes, but it looks good!”
Student A“Just as I expected, the one who takes the last spot is one who receives the most applause.”
Izumi(The result of Taichi-kun’s practice is showing. His walking looks magnificent.)
(Mikami looks so confident that it couldn’t be compared to how he looks in the beginning of the play--.)
(There’s no need to worry.)
(The costume that Yuki-kun and Taichi-kun created for this scene made Taichi-kun shine even more.)
Mikami“How, How was it?”
Kikukawa“Didn’t you say you weren’t anxious before?”
Mikami“Well, yeah, but…”
Kikukawa“It was perfect.”
Mikami“R-Really!?”
Kikukawa“It’s the finale. Let’s go on stage together.”
Mikami“Yes!”
Izumi(Kikukawa and Mikami’s strong bond is showing.)
(Yuki-kun and Taichi-kun have always been making costumes together, after all, so that’s to be expected.)
Hayama“...”
Kikukawa“I’ve told you not to worry about other people.”
Hayama“Hmm. As expected of Lily. K.”
Kikukawa“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Koga“I don’t think I’m losing here. I’m still better than you as a model.”
Mikami“I know that.”
Koga“Hmph.”
Mikami“--But I don’t think I’m losing as Kikukawa’s model.”
Koga“You--.”
Hayama“Cut it out, stop snapping at them at every chance you have, Koga. I know you’re a big fan of KIKUKAWA.”
Koga“Wha--.”
Kikukawa“Ooh. I’ll ask my mom to give you a sample next time.”
Koga“Eh, seriously!? No, I mean, it’s not like I--.”
Mikami“Haha.”
Koga“Let me tell you this. I might give away the position for Kikukawa’s model to you, but not KIKUKAWA’s model.”
Mikami“Huh--.”
Kikukawa“--.”
Koga“What is it, what’s with that apathetic expression?”
Kikukawa“Pfft. No, it’s just… You’re right. My design and KIKUKAWA’s are different.”
Mikami“Ahaha. I’m unfit to be KIKUKAWA’s model, you know. I’ll forever be Kikukawa’s model, after all.”
Koga“What’s so funny about it?”
Kikukawa“I just didn’t think you would say something so obvious like that.”
Koga“Haaah!?”
Mikami“Good for you, Kikukawa.”
Kikukawa“...Yeah.”
Koga“???”
“What are they saying? Do you get it, Hayama?”
Hayama“Beats me. It must be Kikukawa’s complex or something.”
Kikukawa“You’re a real nasty dude.”
Hayama“Hmph. Next time we will battle it out on stage for professional. You better appear as Lily. K.”
Kikukawa“You don’t need to tell me that.”
SakuyaGood job there, guys!
ItaruGJ, GJ.
BanriGood work.
MukuYou did great!
KazunariGJ!
SakuyaI’ve never seen a fashion show before, but that was cool!
MukuBoth Taichi-kun and Tenma-kun’s costumes are stunning too.
KazunariYou guys sure live up to our expectations as the models actor!
BanriWas the designer course you took effective?
YukiWell, it was inspiring in many ways.
ItaruYou suit the designer role, Masumi--you seem very sensitive and prideful.
MasumiShut up.
SakuyaYou really gave off the vibe of such designer!
MukuI expect no less from Tenma-kun, you were great!
KazunariYou did feel like “The” model.
MukuYes, yes!
TenmaThat’s obvious.
YukiYou didn’t even have to act to bring out Koga’s ore-sama personality.
TenmaWhat did you say!?
BanriEven Taichi really looked like a model at the last part.
SakuyaYes. You didn’t look like the usual Taichi-kun!
TaichiEhehe!
YukiAh, hold on.
TaichiYu-Yuki-chan?
YukiI think if we spread the hem a little bit more, your silhouette will look nicer when you walk. I should work on it today.
I’ll be counting on you as my assistant, stupid dog.
TaichiW-Woof!
BanriYou’re well disciplined as ever.
IzumiThey’re a pair during the play, though…
