My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

--

Takanashi Yuuko discovered that Shiraishi Sawa Hide wasn't as aloof as the rumors had suggested. After his throat recovered, when they rode the train together this morning, although he still maintained an excessively safe distance, he was much more talkative.

Upon arrival, as usual, Yuko Takanashi walked ahead alone, followed by Hideki Shiraishi.

Good morning, Hashimoto-kun and Matsuno-kun.

Seeing his class monitor and classmates walking towards him, Shiraishi Zexiu casually greeted them.

"Huh? Hi! Good morning, Shiraishi-kun."

The class monitor and several classmates who were greeted didn't even react at first, and it took them a few seconds to realize that Shiraishi Zexiu was indeed greeting them.

After Shiraishi Zexiu walked away, the group gathered together and started discussing it.

"My goodness, Shiraishi actually greeted the girls! He used to just nod when we greeted him, right?"

"Yes, yes, could it be that Shiraishi-kun has undergone gender reassignment surgery? Did the previous rumors make him feel that continuing like this is inappropriate?"

"I think this is a good thing. I've discovered that Shiraishi's voice is also very nice."

"You're such a fangirl."

......

Soon, new information about Shiraishi Sawashu slowly spread throughout the class, but once again in an unusual way.

"Hey, have you heard? Shiraishi-san has undergone gender reassignment surgery to stop the previous rumors from spreading."

"What! Shiraishi-san underwent gender reassignment surgery because of rumors?"

"Hey, I heard that Shiraishi-kun..."

"What! Shiraishi-san turned into a girl because of the rumors?"

"Hey, I heard that Shiraishi-kun..."

"What! Shiraishi-san is pregnant? Was it those boys who spread the rumors?"

.......

Before the first class even started, Takagi Ryo slowly walked over to Shiraishi Sawa, who was reading a book, bent down, and carefully examined Shiraishi Sawa's stomach.

“She’s not showing yet, you can abort her. Shiraishi, this is not your decision. I can’t accept this unborn child.”

"Portrait photography involves variations; while keeping the subject and setting constant, strive for changes in angle and scenery..."

Shiraishi Sawa was engrossed in reading "The Rules of Portrait Photography," ignoring the clown Takagi Ryo.

Until Takagi Ryo tried to touch his stomach with his hand.

"Enough is enough, Takagi. You're always partly responsible for every rumor about me."

Takagi Ryo scratched his head awkwardly, "Ahaha, this just shows how much I care about you. By the way, Shiraishi, why are you reading photography books?"

"My goal for this week is to become a professional photographer."

Shiraishi Sawa used the same rhetoric as Ichiyo.

"Ah, I know, private photographers, right? I respect them a lot. Shiraishi, if you take any good photos in the future, remember to send me a copy privately."

"That's illegal, so I can't share it with you. I'll just keep a backup copy for myself."

Shiraishi Sawa suddenly imagined a scene of Chiyo taking boudoir photos. Her already alluring fox-like face and beautiful figure, if she were willing to strike some special poses...

Get rid of this thought; don't think about it anymore, or it might become a habit.

"Shiraishi, you're really not my good brother! Luckily, I always share good comics with you first whenever I come across one!"

"Fine, I'll share it with you later, okay? Don't bother me while I'm working on my professional skills. If my skills aren't good enough in the future, am I supposed to ask you to film me?"

"It's not impossible."

"roll!"

The last class on Monday afternoon was a class meeting. After Ichiro Gennai came in, he first evaluated the changes in the class's discipline and academic performance, and then mentioned the sports festival.

"Now that we've finished talking about business, let me talk about the sports festival."

"The sports festival is tentatively scheduled for Thursday and Friday three weeks from now..."

After finally hearing something interesting, the class instantly became noisy and started whispering among themselves.

"This is the first sports festival for everyone since you started high school. After you split into arts and sciences in your second year, it's impossible for you all to be in the same class, so I hope you all cherish it."

"We haven't known each other for very long, so we don't know who in our class is good at sports yet. But it doesn't matter if none of us are. Most events in the sports festival don't emphasize that, so everyone can relax and have fun."

"I hope everyone will sign up enthusiastically. Since the sports committee member has been unwell recently, I have handed this matter over to the class monitor. Now, let Hashimoto explain the details to everyone."

Upon hearing this, Hashimoto Nana immediately stood up, ran to the podium, and cleared her throat.

"Here's the thing, Mingchuan Middle School's sports festival has many events. Among them, the most competitive events are running races, marathons, and relay races. Then there are the more entertaining events like the eye of the typhoon, the bread-biting contest, and the multi-person caterpillar walk. Events that require more participants include cheerleading performances and group jump rope..."

"I'm very sorry, but I'm not sure about everyone's athletic level, so please register through me if you want to. Each person can register for two competitive events, but there are no restrictions on recreational or group events. Thank you very much!" The "bowing-chan phenomenon" gradually began to spread.

"Portrait shooting angles can be divided into overhead, eye-level, and upward angles; different angles will bring different visual feelings to people."

The future photography master, Hideaki Shiraishi, was still intently studying "The Rules of Portrait Photography." Compared to the sports festival three weeks later, which he wasn't interested in, the photo test he would face in less than a week was much more important.

He wasn't planning to participate in any events. The best thing he could do was sit in the audience and cheer on his classmates who were giving it their all. But he was too lazy to cheer, so he'd just offer his moral support.

Chapter 22 The Future Cameraman: Bai Shi D. Ze Xiu

Shiraishi Sawah specially brought two photography guidebooks to the supermarket.

So when I entered Chiyo and walked into the staff room, I saw Shiraishi Sawa Hide intently reading "The Rules of Portrait Photography".

"The scenery in portrait photography can be divided into full shot, medium shot, close-up, and extreme close-up. Portrait photos with different scenery will have different expressive characteristics. For example, extreme close-up mainly shows the facial expression of the person, while full shot mainly highlights the environment."

Upon seeing Chiyo enter, Shiraishi Sawa read out the message.

Chiyo looked at Shiraishi Sawa with a smile.

"Hey, it seems like Shiraishi-kun is finally starting to work hard. Please take some good photos for me this weekend."

"Don't worry, once you enter Sang, after this period of crazy study, you have no idea how many weekends I've spent working on it day and night. I feel like I'm almost mastering the divine skills of photography."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the man who will possess everything in the world—wealth, fame, and power—"King of Camera" Shiraishi D. Sawah, will utter a single sentence before he dies, causing people from all over the world to flock to Tokyo.

"Want my divine techniques? If so, go to a supermarket in Ueno, Tokyo. All my techniques are written in a book and kept there."

Then the world began to usher in the "Age of the Great Cinematographers."

"Shiraishi-kun, do you think I've never watched One Piece?"

"How about we change it to 'I discovered that there's a fox with nine camera tails sealed inside me, in a cage, and it can only talk to me now'?"

I sighed and rubbed my forehead as I entered the world of Chiyo.

"Please stop with your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies, Shiraishi-kun," the tone shifted, "but are you going to take your DSLR to shoot these professional books this weekend?"

"No, no, no, a photography master like me who has mastered divine skills can take excellent photos with just an unprofessional mobile phone."

Shiraishi Sawah couldn't afford a DSLR camera.

"No need, Mr. Shiraishi. I'll arrange the DSLR. The down-on-her-luck young lady happens to have one at home that she hasn't had time to sell. Please use a professional camera to take better-than-average photos."

Damn it! I haven't even learned how to use a DSLR yet! Another heavy responsibility has been added!

“No problem, leave it to me once we enter the mulberry grove,” Shiraishi Hideaki agreed with a forced smile.

You have to finish the show, even if you're crying!

There weren't many customers today. After tidying up the shelves, Shiraishizawa Hide went to the front desk and took turns working at the cash register with Ichiyo Ichiyori.

"Do you have any ideas about where to film, Mr. Shiraishi?"

“Truly excellent photographers don’t care about these things,” Chiyo Ichigo said, changing her tune after seeing the look in her eyes that told her to stop. “Okay, I don’t know. I’ve only been in Tokyo for a few months and haven’t even gone out to play yet. How would I know?”

"Oh, I see. I'll have to think about it. I'll let you know before Friday."

"Shooting portraits from a low angle can effectively highlight the curves of a woman's legs, making her figure appear longer and more graceful. Hmm, I won't read this chapter anymore. Once you get to Sang, I think you don't need to emphasize the curves of her legs anymore."

After speaking, she glanced at her perfect calves, which were not covered by the pleated skirt.

Chiyo immediately walked over and pressed down on the pages of the book, stopping Shiraishi Sawa from turning the pages.

"Keep a close eye on Shiraishi-kun. You're the kind of person who can make my legs and body look like they're cut in half. You need to take a look at these things, no matter what."

Shiraishi Sawah subtly moved his hand away slightly to avoid touching Ichiyo.

"Alright, alright, look if you want. But once you're inside, don't touch me. You're a young lady, even if you're a fallen one, you should still have learned a lot of etiquette, shouldn't you?"

"What you don't know, Mr. Shiraishi, is that the reason I, a young lady, fell into such a sorry state is because I didn't learn manners and was kicked out of the family."

"I can't argue with you once you get in, so let's talk about my future plan to build a photography studio."

"What kind of chuunibyou manga is this? I don't want to participate in your chuunibyou fantasies." Chiyo Ichiriki said that she had no knowledge of Gintama.

"What a pity, I was originally planning to hire you as Sadaharu in my Yorozuya."

--

Soon it was seven o'clock, and the two took their boxed lunches back to the staff room to rest.

Chiyo picked up her high heels from the corner, but didn't put them on.

After placing a few tissues on the floor near the chair, I took off my flat shoes, put my bare feet on the tissues, and then started eating.

"Won't it be very uncomfortable to wear high heels once you enter the mulberry grove?"

"Of course I will, but I'm used to it now," he glanced at Shiraishi Sawa, "Do you want to wear it, Shiraishi-kun?"

"I didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand me, Ichiryu-san." But Shiraishi Sawa was a little curious, "Ichiryu-san, why are you still wearing high heels? You're already tall enough."

In Japan, a country that highly values ​​cuteness, tall girls are often not very popular.

"For aesthetic reasons."

Do you wear it at school too? Is it allowed?

In Shiraishi Sawa's memory, Chiyo always wore high heels when she came to work part-time, and she was still just a student.

"I'm in the school's etiquette department, and I usually need to wear high heels for training."

"Young Miss, do you remember the story you just made up about being kicked out of the house for not learning manners?"
