A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"Please, love, next time... I mean, if there is a next time, please wake me up in a more normal way."

"? But that's how they wake people up in the comics I read, right?"

Hoshino Ai said innocently:

"The heroine in it not only looks, but even uses her hands directly on it - ouch!"

"Don't talk about such unhealthy topics so early in the morning."

Fortunately, Sanjiao Hatsuka appeared beside Hoshino Ai in time and stopped her violent words with a knife.

"Mr. Tetsuya, please go wash up. I'll help you stop her."

"Uh, okay, I'll be there in a minute."

As Chihaya Tetsuya spoke, he subconsciously pulled the quilt upwards again.

After seeing this action, Hoshino Ai suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. It seems what's said in the comics is true."

"Okay, okay..."

Seeing that the "curiosity for knowledge" in Hoshino Ai's eyes became stronger and stronger, Sanjiao Chuhua had no choice but to pull her up from the bed with a helpless look on his face.

"I admit that Mr. Tetsuya does make me want to tease you, but now is not the time to do that... Come on, Ai, let's go back to our room and put on our makeup first."

"Um, okay."

Although her tone was a little reluctant, Hoshino Ai still obediently left Chihaya Tetsuya's bedside.

"Well, I'll see you later, Zhe!"

"Well, see you later..."

Chihaya Tetsuya first watched the two girls leave the room, then he sighed deeply.

"I will never let love wake me up again."

……

The small disturbance in the early morning did not affect the subsequent business.

Just like yesterday, the three of them were sent to [K-Arena] by their agents and each completed their respective tasks.

"Hello, I'm Tsukimi, a stylist from Watanabe's office."

The lighting plan has been finalized, and Chihaya Tetsuya’s next task is to work with the stylist to design the looks of the two idols.

As soon as Chihaya Tetsuya walked into the dressing room, a young woman dressed very fashionably immediately took the initiative to shake hands with Chihaya Tetsuya.

"Nice to meet you, Chihaya-san."

"Me too, nice to meet you, Miss Yuejian."

After a brief self-introduction, the two of them went straight to the topic of today's work -

"I was informed by Ms. Higuchi yesterday that you are the designer responsible for designing the costumes for Ai and Hatsuka's performance."

As Yuejian spoke, she took out various bottles and jars from her bag, which even Chihayatetsu couldn't name.

"Honestly, I was surprised. I didn't expect such sophisticated and cunning designs to come from such a young designer."

Compared to yesterday's lighting technician, today's stylist obviously has a clearer understanding of Chihaya Tetsuya's abilities.

But this is not surprising. After all, stylists are professionals who deal with clothing and makeup every day. Some excellent stylists even have extraordinary design skills.

"Mr. Chihaya doesn't seem to know much about makeup, does he?"

"Yes."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded frankly and admitted:

“I haven’t been exposed to the relevant knowledge.”

"I see. Then I'll make my own decisions regarding makeup. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to let me know."

After saying that, her eyes passed Chihaya Tetsuya and looked at the two idols behind him.

"Come here you two."

"Yes!"×2.

After hearing this, the two idols immediately sat down in front of the dressing table very obediently.

What followed was a series of operations that dazzled Chihaya Tetsuya.

Powder puffs, sponges, various brushes, and various tools that Chihaya Tetsu couldn't even name were dancing in the stylist's hands.

In front of the makeup mirror, the faces of the two people are gradually undergoing a series of changes under the careful treatment of the stylist -

(So, besides eyeshadow, applying eyebrows and eyelashes can also make eyes look more three-dimensional under the stage lights... Oh, and this lip gloss, yeah, if it's just the original lip color, it won't be noticeable under strong light...)

Chihaya Tetsuya stared intently at the stylist's movements, recording the uses and effects of each tool in his mind.

However, his concentrated attitude made the stylist look a little surprised:

"You seem to be very interested in makeup."

"Well, I am indeed a little interested."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded, his eyes still fixed on her hands:

"Although my job is just to design costumes, for things like stage costumes, we have to consider more than just the simple shape and design concept. We also have to consider the overall effect within the stage environment. If I could learn more about makeup and stage effects, perhaps I could apply it to my future designs."

"Oh? This is really unexpected."

Faced with Chihaya Tetsuya's serious and frank attitude, the stylist couldn't help but show a rather surprised expression.

"The designers I know are mostly self-centered and completely unwilling to learn anything beyond fashion. Your learning attitude is truly an anomaly in this environment... but I admire it. At least from what I know, many designers lack a good understanding of the stage, so the costumes they design are completely useless. In the end, we have to make up for it with styling and lighting. I remember last time..."

In this way, the stylist and Chihaya Tetsu started chatting while working.

Because both of them have a certain knowledge of clothing, and Chihaya Tetsuya's learning attitude is very frank and serious, the atmosphere between the two can be said to be quite harmonious.

In response to this, the two idols sitting in front of the makeup mirror immediately cast a somewhat wary look at each other.

Although they had long known that Chihaya Tetsu was the type who easily pleased women, they were still somewhat surprised to see them chatting so harmoniously within ten minutes of meeting. Especially since Miss Tsukimi was always a reserved and aloof beauty who rarely initiated conversation, they hadn't expected her to be so proactive in opening up to Chihaya Tetsu today...

It seems that the scope of vigilance will have to be expanded a bit in the future!

Just as the two of them were exchanging their concerns with each other through their eyes, there was a knock on the door again.

Then, a name that Chihaya Tetsuya had never expected entered his ears——

"Ms. Tsukimi, [NozAK!]"

"The people brought their costumes."

The assistant outside the door said:

"Do you want to check it out now?"

76

Chapter 76: A case of imminent defeat.

Sankaku Hatsuka: "【NozAK!】's..."

Hoshino Ai: "Clothes?!"

The two idols each let out a sound of immense surprise.

Yue Jian said to the assistant outside the door without changing his expression:

"Bring them in."

Then, following Yue Jian's order, the assistant outside the door immediately pushed the clothes hanger into the dressing room.

"Can I just put it here?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Yue Jian replied without even looking up:

"Please tell the NozAK! guys that their shoes are substandard. I'm going to use our own."

"understood."

The assistant nodded after receiving the answer and then left the dressing room.

As the assistant left the dressing room, the two idols sitting there said at the same time:

"Sister Yuejian?!"

"This is different from what we heard before!"

The two idols questioned Tsukimi at the same time.

"Why... is it [NozAK!]'s costume?!"

Sanjiao Chuhua asked with a puzzled look:

"Aren't our costumes this time designed by the agency and Mr. Tetsuya?"

"...If it's a NozAK! costume, I'd never wear it, even if I die."

Hoshino Ai's expression and tone became increasingly gloomy.

"I should have told Higuchi-san and the president that I will never forgive them for what they did to Tetsu—"

"You two calm down."

Seeing the two people's reactions so intensely, Yue Jian just stopped the work in her hands with a calm expression.

"Look back carefully and see who these clothes are for."

“……”×2.

Then, when they both turned back to look at the clothes rack that had just been pushed into the room, their expressions were stunned:

"Are these...dancers' costumes?"

"Yes."

Yue Jian nodded and said:

"So you can rest assured that these clothes are not for you to wear."

"But, but... before this, didn't the dancer costume commission already go to [KaZoKu]?"

Sanjiao Chuhua continued to ask:

"Why did it suddenly become [NozAK!] now?"

"about this issue……"

Tsukimi turned her head and looked at Chihaya Tetsuya.

"Chihaya-san, you should answer them yourself."

"……kindness."

From the moment the clothes hanger was pushed into the dressing room, his eyes had been fixed on it.

Then, at Yuejian's suggestion, Chihaya Tetsu also walked directly to the clothes rack and began to carefully examine these clothes from the rival brands...

……ten minutes later……

"……I see."

After putting the last piece of clothing back on the hanger, Chihaya Tetsuya sighed slightly.

"It turns out that [Watanabe Office] didn't commission it unilaterally this time, but rather hedged its bets."

"That's only natural, after all, it's our right as 'buyers'."

Yue Jian said:

"So, after seeing NozAK!'s costumes, what do you think?"

"These costumes...are definitely better than what KaZoKu offers."

Chihaya Tetsuya expressed his opinion very honestly.

"Whether it's the workmanship, the details, or even the overall design... it's clearly superior to [KaZoKu], especially the detailed decorations and the variety of clothing. [NozAK!]"
