A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

After all, he never liked forcing others to do things they didn't like.

Compared to this, he has something else that he cares about.

"Speaking of which, if I want to be Filia's assistant, all I need is an invitation from Ms. Yamabuki?"

Chihaya Tetsuya couldn't help but ask.

"In that case, wouldn't the threshold for this recruitment be too low?"

"Of course it's not that simple."

Yamabuki Yachiyo shook her head.

"In order to meet Philia's recruitment standards and for the sake of your brand, you should now officially embark on your first task and test—"

"Please design a costume that will be the pride of the entire [TGC]."

Chapter 83 The end of Volume .

As a fashion show, TGC is naturally far less professional than Tokyo Fashion Week, which caters to top fashion magazines.

But if we only talk about popularity and the attention of the general public, then [TGC] is far ahead of [Tokyo Fashion Week]

Its existence is not to lead fashion, nor will it bring any changes to the fashion industry.

It exists simply to showcase the present, a fashion extravaganza featuring everyday clothing and the most popular female entertainers of the moment.

For the fashion industry, the positioning of [TGC] is very delicate.

Because the target audience is completely different, high-end brands generally do not actively participate in TGC's fashion design. At the same time, due to its huge influence and commercial potential, it will attract all mid- and low-end brands to participate.

“…This is the real test.”

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing, just thinking about the next work..."

As Chihaya Tetsuya spoke, he turned his head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo beside him.

"And... you acted much faster than I expected."

"Well? Is there?"

On the other side, Nagasaki Suyo was watching the moving company carry her luggage bit by bit to the apartment building in front of her.

"I should have informed you about this a long time ago, right? There shouldn't be any surprises by now."

"Yes, but at that time you only said you would choose a place closer to my home."

Chihaya Tetsuya raised his head and murmured:

"But wouldn't it be a bit too much to move directly upstairs to my house?"

"After all, this is very convenient for us. Aine also said that she is looking forward to living as neighbors in the future."

Nagasaki Suyo looked back with a very businesslike smile.

"Or are you dissatisfied with my decision, President?"

"……Nothing at all."

Whenever Chihaya Tetsuya heard Nagasaki Suyo call him like this, he felt uncomfortable.

Especially when he thought that this girl was his sister's friend, the feeling of shame and vanity intertwined made him not know what expression to show.

"By the way, regarding trademark registration—"

“It’s all done.”

Nagasaki Suyo replied calmly:

"You just need to do your own thing well, and don't worry about anything else."

"..."

After hearing this, Chihaya Tetsuya felt an indescribable sense of relief and touched.

"Thank you for taking so much care of me."

"You're welcome. After all, I've received a lot of care from you."

Nagasaki Suyo pondered for a moment and then said:

"And the reason I do all this...is mainly to achieve my own goals."

"..."

Subconsciously, Chihaya Tetsuya wanted to ask directly what his purpose was. However, when he found that Nagasaki Suyo was staring at him for some reason, he swallowed the question back into his stomach.

Since returning from Yokohama, Chihaya Tetsuya's sense of crisis has been significantly improved.

Not only Ai and Aine, he always felt that Fengchuan and Su Shi seemed to have a hint of gratitude and respect in them recently.

but……

"This should just be an illusion..."

He came to this uncertain conclusion.

"For Ai and Aine, we can explain it as a matter of time and love... But I haven't been in contact with Toyokawa and Suyo for that long."

For Chihaya Tetsuya, who is too precocious and has a relatively complicated life experience, he usually uses "empiricism" to deal with most of the problems he encounters.

However... for him, who was too late to mature in terms of gender issues, the experience he had was so limited that he had never considered that there was more than one way to feel "like".

But no matter what, with this "consultant" officially moving into his upstairs floor, with his brand trademark officially registered, and with his first work goal officially set, he is finally about to take the first step towards his personal ideal.

……

"good, very good!"

At Yokohama [K-Arena], the agent applauded after completing the first full rehearsal.

"I never thought that your music and Chihaya-san's costumes could achieve such an excellent effect."

"Well……"

"Don't be so stubborn. They both put together such an excellent show just for you."

"That's what I said, but I still feel like I've been left out for some reason."

Hoshino Ai looked a little unhappy because she didn't receive any praise.

The agent did not intend to respond to her unreasonable behavior.

Because she had a piece of news that was enough to make her forget all her dissatisfaction and immediately smile:

"...Just last night, a fashion brand called Starry Sky, which was founded less than a day ago, has no stores, an unfinished studio, and absolutely no real achievements, suddenly asked our agency to commission SummerZodiac to promote it. What do you two think?"

"Huh?! Really?!"

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai immediately revealed an extremely bright smile.

Then, seeing her agent's speechless expression, she jumped directly from the stage and came to her agent impatiently.

"I want to do it! Take me to sign the contract now!"

"Calm down. Even if you want to sign the contract, wait until we get back to the office."

The agent first pushed the head that kept getting closer to him aside with a look of disgust, then raised his head and asked Sanjiao Chuhua who was still on the stage:

"What about you, Chuhua? What are you going to do?"

"There's absolutely no need to ask me specifically, right? Higuchi-san, you know I won't refuse."

Sanjiao Chuhua, wearing a luminous gauze skirt, also came to the edge of the stage.

"By the way, if this happens, the two of us won't be able to help the agency get other modeling jobs. Is that okay?"

"Rather than asking if there's a problem, it's more like... at this point, if it weren't for StarrySky, you two definitely wouldn't be able to fully commit to it."

The agent said calmly:

"And the first job he commissioned was something we were planning to proactively propose after the Live ended."

"? What job?"

"He hopes that at this [TGC]... our team can wear his designs and walk the runway."

"Ah... so you're designing clothes for Ai, right?"

Sanjiao Chuhua naturally thought so.

In response to this, the agent smiled mysteriously.

"Really...Is there only one person I love?"

"?"

"Nothing, you two can take a short break and then continue in the afternoon."

The agent said to the two idols:

"We're just getting started."

……

"Indeed... it's... quite cute..."

In front of the floor-length mirror, Shoko Toyokawa, dressed in a maid outfit, showed an expression of disbelief.

To be honest, this maid outfit designed by Yamabuki Yachiyo was far more gorgeous and lovely than the one she had seen at her family's home before. But even so... after putting on the maid outfit, the inner disharmony and resistance still prevented her from openly accepting this cuteness.

But then again, I heard that boys seem to like maid play quite a bit...

"I don't know what Chihaya-nii would think..."

Toyokawa Shoko murmured softly:

"If he thinks it's cute, then...it's not like he can't wear it."

Compared to serving the willful and sharp-tongued Sakurakouji Luna, the gentle and considerate Chihaya is indeed better!

Serve, serve...

"Oh my! What was I thinking? How shameless!"

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but curse herself with a red face.

"Anyway, let's report to Maid Yamabuki first..."

Whether it's shameful, happy, or something to look forward to.

In short, everything will be discussed later.

……

……

"So, if you don't plan to come back, I'm really not going to care about you anymore... you idiot dad."

Looking back at the empty room and the envelope containing her first bonus lying on the low table, Shoko Toyokawa murmured.

Chapter 81 Prologue As a girl, I work in the clothing industry.

The costumes he was tasked with designing were more everyday. While designing these types of garments required more experience than for performances, the overall challenge was actually greater. After all, his goal wasn't simply to make a debut, but to make his collection stand out at TGC. As a brand-new individual brand, achieving this at a nationally acclaimed fashion event, attended by numerous established brands, was undoubtedly challenging.

"I think I should first check out the current trends from overseas fashion magazines, like the French Ocelot..."

"Tetsuya, can we just put the workbench here?"

"Oh right, I also need to research the other models appearing at the same time, and try to avoid clashing with them..."

"...Tetsuya?"

"By the way, I haven't had a systematic understanding of catwalks before. I'll take this opportunity to learn it thoroughly..."

"Ah, do you really have to force me to use this trick?"

After repeatedly calling out to no avail, Nagasaki Suyo shook her head, then stood on tiptoe and whispered in the ear of the designer, who was immersed in his own world:
