A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"Lixi actually took the initiative to give such a high evaluation."

"I'm just being realistic. Besides, the song I wrote with Le Na this time...is indeed the one I'm most satisfied with so far."

Having said that, Shiina Riki turned around and looked at Kaname Rakuna and said:

"You just changed a lot of things for yourself, how do you feel?"

"...very happy."

Even though they have been practicing for a month, Kaname Lenai looks like she is still unsatisfied.

“I want to write more songs like this.”

"I'm...very happy too!"

Takamatsu Deng also took the initiative to express his feelings, which was very rare.

"Especially since Aine is the lead singer for this song!"

"Ugh... Let's not talk about this kind of thing anymore."

Chihaya Aine said a little embarrassedly:

"It's just because the theme of this song happens to suit me! After all, Deng has to be the lead singer!"

"But then again... even though we did have a lot of fun, wouldn't it be a bit weird to use this song to promote Chihaya-san?"

Shiina Riki couldn't help but ask Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Suyo:

"This is clearly a major event that will determine the future of the brand. Is it really okay to use this theme?"

"……Do not worry."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled and said:

"Leaving aside future fashion shows and exhibitions, this time, our theme perfectly aligns with the philosophy that Zhe Ye wants to convey."

Give up uninformed pandering and blindly following fashion.

Give up the incomprehensible aesthetics and the difficult and uncomfortable high-end.

The title of the band’s new song is “Declaration of Complete Abandonment”!

Chapter 135: The moment of destiny.

If it were just an ordinary joint fashion brand show, it would attract only a few fashion-focused media outlets, industry insiders, and a handful of fashion enthusiasts. However, thanks to the joint efforts of world-class designer Jean-Pierre Stanley and the organizers of TGC, this joint show has, in just two months, become the most anticipated fashion event of the year, rivaling even Tokyo Fashion Week in terms of buzz and popularity.

Unlike Tokyo Fashion Week, which focuses on high-end fashion and future fashion forecasts, this joint exhibition is more oriented towards the general market. However, this is precisely why the threshold for paying attention to this exhibition is low enough for everyone to understand and appreciate.

Coupled with a public statement from the organizers of the exhibition, this fashion event, which already has a low threshold, has become even more spectacular.

This joint exhibition will last for three days, and order forms will be issued to all invited media, buyers, and models. At the end of the exhibition, the organizers will rank each brand based on their "order volume" and determine the finale brand of this "TGC"!

Perhaps the general audience does not understand fashion and has no idea about clothing design, but at least they can understand that the final brand selected will definitely be the best one.

At this point, under the attention and expectation of the masses, this joint exhibition that will lay the foundation for the future trend of mass fashion in the country has begun.

……

"Well...how does it look?"

Chihaya Tetsuya opened his arms and asked the girls in front of him for their opinions.

It wasn't that he doubted Toyokawa Shoko's design or Hasegawa Shin's skills; on the contrary, he had been praising it ever since he received it. It was just that Chihaya Tetsu had never worn such a formal and sophisticated suit before, so he was very worried about whether he could pull off the look of this suit.

However, he was feeling a little uneasy and did not notice that the living room, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became unusually quiet after he changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

“Well… how should I put this…”

The first to break the silence was Chihaya Aine, her younger sister.

"I always feel that it's, um... a little... dangerous. What do you think, Sushi?"

“…Huh? Ah.”

It was not until Chihaya Aine spoke to her that Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been a little dazed since a while ago, finally came to her senses.

"It's a bit dangerous indeed..."

"Danger?"

Chihaya Tetsuya was shocked when he heard this.

"What does this mean? Am I really not suitable for wearing such a high-end suit?"

"...No, it's more like the opposite."

Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head in confusion.

"It's because it's so suitable that it gives people a bad feeling..."

This was no longer simply a matter of fitting well. The straight and rigid silhouette made the originally immature Chihaya Tetsuya look instantly more mature. Add to that the sheen of the satin fabric, the close-fitting texture of the low-necked shirt underneath, and Chihaya Tetsuya's appearance, which had become even more handsome after careful grooming—

"This joint exhibition... there should be quite a few female models, right?"

Thinking of this, Hoshino Ai's expression couldn't help but become more serious.

"For safety reasons, it seems Zhe can't be left alone in the booth during this exhibition."

"Indeed..."

"I agree."

"Attached."

This thought was immediately recognized by everyone, and just as Chihaya Tetsuya was about to ask something else, Toyokawa Shoko breathed a long sigh of satisfaction.

"It's really perfect... This is exactly what I expected!"

Toyokawa Shoko's tone was filled with emotion, as if her dream had come true.

"No matter what others say, at least in my eyes, Tetsuya-kun is definitely the most handsome man in the room!"

"Great... Looks like I didn't bring shame upon this suit."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded, half understanding, and driven by this sense of security, he subconsciously put his hand on his collar and tugged at it. After seeing Chihaya Tetsuya's collarbone and Adam's apple exposed by this unconscious action, Toyokawa Shoko, who had originally been simply admiring, finally realized what everyone meant by "danger" -

"Wait, Tetsuya-kun, it's better not to do this kind of thing outside!"

Toyokawa Shoko quickly grabbed Chihaya Tetsuya's arm.

"Look, it's a dress after all! This... for the sake of elegance and formality... this kind of inappropriate behavior should never be done casually in public!"

"Formality... I see, that's what you mean!"

Because he had absolute trust in Toyokawa Shoko's background and etiquette, Chihaya Tetsu obediently put down the hand that had attracted everyone's attention.

"I should really be more careful about my behavior in such formal occasions... Thank you for your reminder, Xiangzi."

"Ahem, it's nothing. It's what I should do."

It had nothing to do with etiquette; Toyokawa Shoko simply didn't want to show this tempting scene to outsiders, so she looked away with a guilty conscience.

On the other side, Nagasaki Suyo first glanced at the time, and then reminded:

"Zheya, it's almost time."

“…Yeah, I understand.”

In order to leave enough time for preparation, Chihaya Tetsuya decided to go out early in the morning and arrive at the exhibition venue as early as possible.

And now, there are only three hours left before the exhibition officially starts.

"Then... let's follow the plan we made earlier. Ai, Chuhua and Sushi will come with me. Once we get to the venue, help me with the final preparations."

“Yes!”*3.

"Aine and the other band members should prepare the equipment for the street performance first. We'll start the performance after Sushi returns and meets up with you. As for Xiangzi, you can go with Mu to finish the new song release and then come back to help me."

“Yes!”*3.

"..."

After receiving an extremely decisive and neat response, Chihaya Tetsuya couldn't help but smile.

Because of a series of chances and coincidences, he met these girls, and also under the impetus of a series of opportunities and causes and effects, they became the inseparable companions who advance and retreat together today.

For Chihaya Tetsuya, just standing with them like this, sharing the same hopes and ideals, is the happiest moment he can imagine.

The family love, companionship, and peace of mind that he had longed for in the past were now all before him.

As for the rest... all we can do is work hard to grasp this hard-earned miracle.

"As everyone knows, this showcase will be a crucial event for all of us... and we've already done everything we could to prepare for this day. I'm not going to predict how this showcase will turn out. We've already made all the preparations, so all we have to do now is enjoy it."

Chihaya Tetsuya took a deep breath and then looked at the girls around him again.

"Let's go, everyone!"

"Oh!"

*N.

Accompanied by a young girl, Chihaya Tetsuya opened the door and stepped into this crucial moment that would determine the future fate of everyone present.

【Tokyo Girls Collection】preview event——【Joint Exhibition】, begins now.

Chapter 136: The mysterious device of [Starry Sky].

Although Chihaya Tetsu had already seen the layouts of other brands during the preparation process, when the exhibition actually started, the grand scene in front of him still refreshed him.

The hidden trump card designs of each brand have finally been unveiled, and the theme decorations and embellishments of each booth have also become clear.

A traditional Japanese-themed clothing brand showcased its season's flagship "Kimono Coat" in a central position, set against a Japanese-style backdrop, showcasing striking uniqueness and artistry. A renowned outdoor brand also showcased its new mountaineering collection, which they had spent years developing, focusing on practicality and new materials.

"...Tetsuya?"

Looking at Chihaya Tetsuya whose hand movements gradually slowed down, Nagasaki Suyo shook her head helplessly.

At this time, the four-person model group was still changing clothes in the dressing room prepared for the models, so there were only two of them setting up the booth for the time being.

"You can watch it however you want during the break, but at least we should set up our own booth first, okay?"

"Ah...sorry."

Chihaya Tetsuya, who had been reminded several times, suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.

"I'm really curious about what the new materials exhibited by that outdoor brand look like... and I personally want to learn about the design ideas behind that kind of outdoor clothing."

"What a natural workaholic."

After hearing Chihaya Tetsuya's response, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but said with some amusement:

"When we first met, you said you didn't really find any joy in making clothes, right? You're not acting like that now."

“Maybe it’s because the way of thinking has changed.”

Chihaya Tetsuya naturally also remembered the heartfelt words he had said to Nagasaki Suyo.

"Compared to the me who was just driven by obsession or various causes and conditions, now I have a reason to work hard for it..."

Having said that, he immediately turned his head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo.

"Even without considering the future of Starry Sky, just thinking about you guys continuing to wear the clothes I make gives me endless motivation!"

Therefore, even if it is just to make the important people around him wear more comfortable clothes, he will continue to work hard.

"Okay, okay, now that I know you care about us, can't you just ignore me?"

No matter how much time passed, Nagasaki Suyo could not adapt to Chihaya Tetsuya's straightforward way of speaking.

In order to hide her shyness, she had to change the subject to work again.

"By the way, is this exhibition method really okay?"

Nagasaki Suyo pointed behind her.

"Half of it is this strange device, and the other half looks like a rest area..."
