A world only known by the God of Lost Love

On the way to the photo location, Ichichi Hongxia whispered to everyone:

"When we were waiting at the red light at that intersection just now, many people around us were looking at us!"

"After all, we are all dressed up cutely today~ Don't you think so, little Pochi?"

"Eh!? This, this..."

Goto Ichiri was surprised at first when Kita Ikuyo suddenly spoke to him, and then whispered:

"I think...it's mainly because everyone is so cute...I, I'm just a foil..."

"Why are you still saying this..."

Ikuyo Kita felt speechless at Ichiri Goto's self-deprecation.

"You were obviously fine when you were at [STARRY] just now, weren't you?"

"For the current little Boqi, it is indeed a bit difficult for her to fully adapt to the sight of others..."

Looking at Gotou Ichiri's appearance, Ichichi Hongka couldn't help but shake her head.

Recalling what Ren Suzuki said just now, Ijichi Hongxia once again felt the band's current immaturity.

While Ichichi Hongka was still thinking about the future of the band, Yamada Ryo, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly stood still——

"...Here we go again."

"What's coming again...ah, it's coming again."

Looking at the guy in front of him who had been hit on countless times, Ichichi Hongxia also showed a helpless expression.

"Compared to the four of us, Suzuki-san seems to be more popular."

"After all, he was walking alone in front of us, so it is easy for people to have the impression that he is walking alone."

"What a man you can't worry about~"

As Kita Ikuyo said this, he directly grabbed Goto Isato's arm and whispered in her ear:

"Hey, little Pochi, it's your turn now!"

"Ehhhh?!"

"At this time, as long as you walk up to them and say to the woman, 'He is with us,' you can help Suzuki-san escape successfully!"

"No, no, no! I can't do this!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head like a rattle.

"And if I really want to say it, if it's Kita-san, it will definitely be easier to help Suzuki-san out of trouble!"

"That would be meaningless...ah, it's already done."

Seeing the guy who was saying goodbye to his chatter with a smile, Kita Ikuyo shrugged.

"Forget it, it's really not our turn to help this guy."

"…………"

Goto Ichiri also nodded silently.

Although she has indeed put a lot of effort into her appearance and has been recognized by Suzuki Ren, in the final analysis... she is still very far away from Suzuki Ren.

If she could grow a little more... would she have the courage to go to that empty space next to him?

……

"Let's... follow a little closer."

Goto Isato whispered:

"In this case, maybe others can give up the idea of ​​striking up a conversation..."

At least for now, it’s really better to rely on everyone’s strength first.

Looking at Ren Suzuki's back, Goto Kazuri thought so.

........................

"Well, it's here."

Ren Suzuki put down her phone and looked at the slightly messy alley in front of her.

Just like what he had seen on the Internet before, there were a large number of extremely bright and individual street graffiti on the red brick walls inside the alley.

This place is only about two kilometers away from [STARRY]. As for the reason for choosing this place, apart from these cool graffiti, another reason is because it is very close to the venue where the band ended its activities.

Whether it is used as a simple commemoration or as a "fan check-in place" for the band to end in the future, it can be said to be very suitable.

"For the band, taking photos in this kind of place is basically a routine operation."

"Oh! What a cool place!"

After seeing the graffiti wall in front of her, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but exclaimed:

"This place with rich street culture does have a rock and roll feel! But...if you come here at night, it will probably feel more like it!"

"There might be some not-so-nice people gathering here at night, so it won't work."

Suzuki Ren shook his head.

"And even during the day, with just a little filtering, you can achieve a night-like effect... Okay, everyone, come here and stand in a row, and I'll find an angle."

"Yes."*4

After hearing Suzuki Ren's instructions, the four girls immediately walked towards the graffiti wall and each found their place...

……

"Eh?! Wait for me!"

Looking at Ren Suzuki who was looking for a shooting angle with his mobile phone, Ichichi Hongka suddenly came back to his senses:

"Suzuki-kun, are you planning to take pictures of just the four of us?"

"?if not?"

Ren Suzuki asked in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Have you ever seen a band that required their manager to take a photo with them?"

"Uh... Well, that's what I said, but I still feel a bit..."

"Furthermore, I plan to use your first group photo as the header image of the band's official account. To a certain extent, this can be considered a formal part of the work."

After saying that, Ren Suzuki waved his hand, signaling Itachi Hongxia to quickly return to his original position.

"……All right."

Now that Suzuki Ren has said this, she has no reason to continue to refute.

On the other side, Goto Kazuri looked at a loss and whispered to Kita Ikuyo next to him:

"Hey...Kita-kun...if we take a group photo...what pose should I use?"

"Huh? This... shouldn't be anything special, right?"

Kita Ikuyo thought for a moment, then turned to ask Ren Suzuki:

"Suzuki-kun, do we need any special poses?"

"No, just be natural."

"Just, even if you say it's natural..."

Goto Isato, who had only taken photos with his family, said with a troubled face:

"I don't even know what kind of posture can be called natural..."

"…………"

After hearing what Ichiri Goto said, Ren Suzuki suddenly fell silent.

This was a miscalculation on his part.

Although he did choose a very suitable location for taking pictures, he did not expect to encounter difficulties in Goto Ichiri.

What should I do...

……

"In this case, let's take a few 'practice photos' before taking the official group photo."

As Ren Suzuki spoke, he pointed the camera of his mobile phone at Goto Kazuri:

"Come on, Goto-san, let's start with the personal portrait -"

"Eh?! Wait, this is too sudden!"

"3,2,1--"

"Hey!?!?"

Chapter 51: The weight of the shutter

"...The expression is so strange."

"And I always feel that my posture is a bit...stiff."

"There are several pictures with eyes closed."

"Pfft - this one is so funny, Suzuki, please remember to send this to me later."

The three girls were gathered in front of Ren Suzuki's mobile phone, "admiring" Goto Kazuri's photos.

As a "model", Goto Kazuri was huddled in the corner, drawing circles on the ground without tears.

"...Although I don't expect to shoot any outstanding works, I can't say it is too strange."

Suzuki Ren smiled bitterly and closed the photo album. Then he came to the autistic Goto Kazuri and said:

"Goto-kun...do you want to try again?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Goto Ichiri said with a sad face:

"I can't control my expression well no matter what... let alone smile, I can't even show a normal expression... Isn't it true that people like me don't deserve to have photos taken? Haha, how about that? Just delete me from the group photo... This way I won't cause trouble to everyone..."

"...To be so depressed."

Looking at Goto Kazuri who was turning black and white, Ren Suzuki began to think of a solution.

At present, the plan of taking personal portraits as a practice is definitely not possible.In order for Goto Kazuri to take a photo that can be called normal, he still needs some other help...

Thinking of this, Suzuki Ren turned his attention to the other three girls again——

(As for Kita Ikuyo... No, the level is too high. It is too difficult for slimes to imitate the Demon King's fighting style no matter how you think about it.)

(Although Ichichi Hongka’s words are not as exaggerated as Kita Ikuyo’s, the generous and cheerful feeling cannot be imitated by Goto Ichiri.)

(As for Yamada Ryo, it’s even more impossible. That guy’s personality is unique and there is no possibility of learning.)

……

"Goto-san."

"……Yes?"

"Let me demonstrate. Take my phone and take a picture of me."

"……Eh?"

........................

"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."

"Don't be nervous, just point the camera at me and press the shutter button."

"Yes! Ah wow wow..."

"Don't shake your hands, it will make the photo blurry."

"Goo—!"
