"Now someone brings a king chair for Izumi. Izumi, you sit there with your cheek leaned gracefully on your right hand, and give me an indifferent face.

Ayase-chan sits on the left arm of the king chair and looks at the camera with a cold expression." The produced instructed poses to us.

After the King Chair came, I sit there and take the pose The produced instructed us. Ayase equally does the same.

"Tres Bien! Get ready you two!"

Right now I am in the seventeen building because I decided to take a modeling job and a live interview to advertise my restaurant. Truth to be told, the producer already requested me to take the job even before I went to Tokyo.

At that time, I thought to decline, but my intuition has told me not yet. As expected, I ended up accepting the job after coming back from Tokyo.

The model for this photoshoot this time was only Ayase-chan and me. Incidentally, Shiori also takes another job today with her friend, Kirino but not in this building.

For the interview, Ayase also would take it together with me as we're equally highly appreciated newcomers along with Shiori and Kirino. So the interview will be separated into two groups which are Ayase, and I while Shiori and Kirino.

"You two can take a rest for a bit. We're going to prepare the studio for the next photoshoot." The producer said.

"Okay producer." Ayase and I simultaneously said.

After that, we promptly head to the preparation room together. The Photoshoot actually has been running for three hours. Ayase looks a bit tired, but she still happily does her job. Looks like either Shiori or Ayase come to like modeling jobs.

"Are you okay, Ayase-chan? You look a bit tired." I said with a worried tone as I sit beside Ayase on the sofa.

"It's fine, Onii-san. Thank you for worrying. The next photoshoot would be the last for today anyway." Ayase answered with a joyful smile.

"*Chuckled* You two really like modeling, huh." I smilingly said.

"Yes! Even though I was hesitant at first, right now I came to like the job. Because it made me meet you and Shiori, Onii-san." Ayase answered with a beaming smile.

"Well, I'm glad I meet you too, Ayase-chan," I said with a gentle smile. Hearing that, Ayase lowered her head with her cheek reddened and smoke coming out from her cheeks.

"Hehe... Come to think of it. I haven't seen your other friend, Kirino." I said to subtly change the topic, so Ayase won't get too embarrassed.

"Oh right about that. After the interview can, I consult you about her?" Ayase asked with an expectant expression.

"Sure thing, Ayase-chan," I answered with a smile.

"How were you two feeling about wonderfully becoming one of the top teen models? Especially for Kitahara-san who suddenly become the top model after just one photoshoot?" The interviewer man asked both of us.

"Honestly I am happy. Initially, I am hesitant to take the modeling job my mom recommended me. But because of that, I met some wonderful friends and it made me come to like the job.

Maybe my joyous feeling can be sensed by the reader and they ended up liking that part of me who takes the job happily.

Thank you very much, everyone. Please support us from now on." Ayase answered with a joyful smile while waved at the camera.

"For me, of course, I was happy. Probably many people know me from any Piano Competition surprised when they saw me in a fashion magazine. But anyway thanks for your support, and please support us from now on too." I said with a dazzling smile.

"Thanks for the wonderful smile, you two. The teenagers from every part of Japan who watch this must be having a heavy nosebleed while their parents looking at them weirdly.

Without further ado, let's go to the next question. You two seems very close, are you two by any chance going out?" The interviewer asked with a teasing smile.

"Eh?" Maybe because she was surprised by the sudden question, she looks troubled about how she explains it.

"Haha...I think of her as my little sister. As many of you know, my little sister was also a model and her friend. So, it's just naturally become like that." I said with a professional smile.

"Indeed. Kitahara-san was like a big brother to me." Ayase said with a professional smile. But I can detect a bit of sadness in her eyes when I said that.

"Well well, it is possible there is a chance it would be upgraded, though. Hahaha." The interviewer laughingly said. Hearing that, Ayase genuinely seems a bit happy.

"Now for the last question, please tell us your plan for the future." The interviewer asked.

"I will do my best to be more professional in the modeling world. I sincerely hope more people know me in the future." Ayase answered.

"It's the same for me. Even though I might not be able to take many modeling jobs. I will answer that with quality every time I take one. Next, I also planning to make a piano concert in Japan one day.

Other than that, actually I make a new restaurant in Shibuya which will finish in three weeks. So if you can, please try it. I guarantee the taste." I said with a dazzling smile.

"Oh did you hear that, everyone? A new restaurant of a handsome model. On top of that, in the busiest place in the world, Shibuya. Then we should try it by any means." The interviewer said to boast the advertis.e.m.e.nt even though I didn't say anything to him before.

"With this, the interview section for Kitahara Izumi and Aragaki Ayase was finished! Thanks for everyone who watched this. And thanks for giving us your time, Kitahara-san and Ayase-chan.

Next, we have an interview with Kousaka Kirino and Kitahara Shiori, please watch it too. My partner has been preparing there to interview them, so see you next time!" The interviewer waved his hand to the camera. Ayase and I also waved to the camera with a smile.

"Here is a bento for you, Onii-san." Ayase gave me a bento box and said.

Right now we're at a park near Ayase's house. Fortunately, there aren't many people in here because it would be troublesome if they ask for a photo or sign when we're going to eat. Incidentally, we're sitting comfortably on a mat while Ayase is giving me a bento, like a picnic.

"Oh, looks delicious does your mom made this?" I carefully opened the bento and said as I look at the inside.

"N-no... I made it..." Ayase lowered her head and answered with a reddened cheek. Looks like she has been preparing for this even before asking if I'm fine or not.

"Hee... you will be a good wife in the future, Ayase-chan," I smirked and said.

"..." Smoke coming out from her reddened cheek.

"Hehe... Anyway, let's eat first then we can talk about your friend." I suggested.

We eat bento while watching children playing in the park. Good thing they're boys, I don't know what kind of elementary school boys who read a fashion magazine. Because right now is summer, it's quite hot even when it's 4 pm. For that reason, we choose the place under a big tree.

"So, what do you want to consult, Ayase-chan?" I wonderingly asked.

"It's like this, Onii-san. Recently Kirino has been weird. Usually, she was always agreed when Shiori and I invited her to eat after school or photo shooting. But nowadays she repeatedly declined, saying she has something to do. Do you think she doesn't like us anymore?" Ayase said with a sad expression.

Hearing that, I gently flicked her forehead and smilingly said, "You think too much, Ayase-chan."

"Mou, don't flick my forehead please." Ayase poutingly said as she gently caressed her forehead.

"Haha... Regardless, one thing you need to do is to believe your friend. It's true people said girl's friendship was more fragile than glasses. Whats made it like that is trust. If she already did something you can't forgive then, it's another matter.

But, it's not like she did something like that, right? Who knows maybe she has a hobby that she scared to share with you, her friend because she doesn't want to be hated by you two." I said.

"But if it's just a hobby, she can just talk to us... Should I directly ask her?" Ayase said with a sad expression.

"No, just wait for her to tell it herself. The fact she doesn't want to tell you means you won't like it, Ayase-chan. Even with that, do you have the confidence to accept it?" I asked.

"...I want to say I will accept it. But I am scared what if at that time I can't accept it..." Ayase said.

"Then I can only say you are not a good best friend, Ayase-chan." I said with a stern tone.

"?!"

"Ayase-chan, being a best friend means even though your hobby is differents, sometimes being means to each other and angry at each other, it is a duty of a best friend to laugh and accept it.

Even two people who claim to be a best friend for years sometimes angry at each other. But, in the end, they laugh at it and forgive each other.

But you should know the difference. Two people who backstab each other aren't a friend. It's just two bundles of selfishness that clashed together and destroys each other." I gently patted her head and explained with a smile.

"I see... Then what should I do, now?" Ayase asked with a hopeful expression.

"For now, just wait for her to tell it. Don't worry, I guarantee Shiori, You, and she will be a best friend even without knowing that. At that time when you know about it, you can be a bit mean to her and laugh at it, but you should properly tell, you accept her hobby." I smilingly said.

"..." Ayase widened her eyes while looking at me as I patted her head.

"Hehe... I'm glad I consult you, Onii-san. Thank you." Ayase said with a dazzling smile.

"Think of it as my thanks for the delicious love love hand-made bento," I smirked and said.

"M-mou! Please don't tease me." Ayase gently hit me with an embarrassed smile.

"Hahaha..."
