{{Line|character=Izumi|border=Izumi|dialogue=Hmm, for today's dinner, what should I make. Should I consult with Omi-kun. {{Line|character=Izumi|border=Izumi|dialogue=Y-Yeah.} {{Line|character=Izumi|border=Izumi|dialogue=G-Got it!} {{Line|character=Izumi|border=Izumi|dialogue=No no, I mean it makes you nervous!}

Omi	I see…. Got it. –No. Don’t worry about it.
Izumi	(Ah, he's on the phone)
Omi	Yeah, thanks for contacting me. See you.
	…..Huh.
Izumi	Did something happen?
Taichi	It's rare for Omi-kun to sigh like that~.
Omi	Yeah, there're some problems with the photo contest---
Izumi	A photo contest?
Omi	I asked a girl from my school to be a model, for our club's photo contest. But it seems she has errands she can't cancel no matter what.
	I have to start looking for a replacement now, but the deadline is approaching so I wondered what to do.
Taichi	If that's the case, then I will become a model! Leave the posing to me too!
Omi	Haha, you're so dependable. However, the theme this time is a portrait of a girl.
Taichi	Wah. Just when I thought that my model debut is decided at last…
Omi	Sorry. Even though we have so many men here in the dorms.
Taichi	Ah! If that’s the case, shouldn’t you ask Director-sensei?
Izumi	Eh!?
Omi	You're right, just under the nose.
Izumi	Wait a moment. Me a model!? It's impossible!
Omi	I'm begging you! I don't have much time too… And, I feel like I can take good photos.
Taichi	Director-sensei, we should help each other in times of need!
Izumi	Yeah…. Got it. Then, only this time!
Omi	Thank you! You're a great help.
Taichi	The photos you take, show them to me too~!
Omi	Around here is okay I guess. Director, I'm counting on you.
Omi	It's okay to act as natural as possible. So much, that you won't think there is a camera here.
Omi	Haha, your expression is stiff right from the get go.
Omi	Then, let's chat for a bit. Just like always, naturally.
Izumi	Yeah. But when the lens is facing me, I'm becoming conscious of it no matter what.
Omi	It's alright. Just talking with me like always is fine.
	Let's see… Aa, something that happened yesterday when you was absent,
	Seems like Citron said something weird again, and Tsuzuru retorted so hard he got tired.
Izumi	Tsuzuru-kun, the level of his retort is going up.
Omi	Right. Those two, if they just become a Manzai duo it would be good.
Izumi	Ahaha. Yeah, they would make a good due.
Omi	Aa, as I thought Director is better when smiling.
Izumi	….
Omi	Hm? Your expression has returned.
Izumi	It's hard to laugh when being said that!
Omi	Haha, my bad my bad.

Omi	---Oh, an airplane.
Izumi	Ah, you're right.
Omi	---Yeah, this profile too is beautiful like a model's.
Izumi	….Omi-kun, are you always doing that when taking photos?
Omi	That?
Izumi	Saying embarrassing things naturally.
Omi	Really? When I'm behind the lens, the things I'm thinking might just be dropping out of my mouth.
Izumi	You're doing it unconsciously!? How problematic…
Omi	Haha, so scandalous.
	Ah, speaking of which, the other day Hisoka-san was sleeping in the garden.
	Misumi who sat sticking closely to his back, for some reason was eating an onigiri while smiling.
Izumi	….somehow, I calmed down just imagining it.
Omi	Oh, this smile, it's so delicate it's nice.
Izumi	Like I said, stop doing that!
Omi	There's nothing to be embarrassed about. No one is looking but me after all.
Izumi	And I'm saying this is embarrassing.
Omi	Haha. Director, you sure make lots of different expressions.
	It makes me want to take photos, of all of them.
Izumi	(This is so hard to do…)
Omi	And then, to Sakyo-san who was so shocked he couldn't say anything, Homare-san kept performing all along.
Izumi	Ahaha. This situation, I can imagine it just from hearing it.
Omi	--Alright, then with this now, the shooting is over.
Izumi	It's enough already?
Omi	Yeah, thank you. I was able to take pretty good photos.
Kazunari	Hm~? If it's not Omimi and Director-chan!
Omi	Kazunari, you're on your way back from school?
Kazunari	That's right. What is it? Can it be a photography event?
Omi	I got Director to cooperate with the shooting for my photography club.
Kazunari	What's that, sounds super fun! Show me show me~.
Omi	Yeah. This part for instance, came out really nice.
Kazunari	Ooh~! Amazing, like a real model.
Izumi	….it's embarrassing so please don't look.
Kazunari	It's fine, it's fine~! This kind of Director-chan, you don't get the opportunity to see often.
Omi	And just when they came out nicely too.
Kazunari	Ah, this one is great too~. Like your profile is so delicate?
Omi	This one, it's good right. I like it too.
Kazunari	Say say, while we are at it, how about putting this photo on flyers and handing them?
Izumi	You definitely can't.
Omi	Haha. They came out nicely, so it's fine isn't it.
Kazunari	Then, this data, send it to my mail!
Omi	I'm telling you, you definitely can't!
